she was on her way to Paris to meet her
father who had been stricken i'll there; that
her friends had placed her under the espe-
cial care of the Captain-which really meant
little more than the distinction of a seat
which she did not occupy at his
table - and that most of the time
she was very jolly young
person indeed. She seemed to be glad to be
on the ocean. and Morley judged that her
exuberant delight was due not only to the
fact that she was soon to see her father
again but also to the mere circumstance
that she was leaving America behind She
seemed to feel an aversion for New York
and he quickly learned that she did not
even like to hear him speak of the city.
Her only explanation of this came in a
statement that during the last year she had
been very unhappy there.
1t was, perhaps, fortunate for Morley's
peace of mind that there were some
among his New York friends whom she
said she knew well and had heard speak of
him; also that the captain was his ac-
quaintance and told her that he had
known his father. These acted in a meas
ure as certificates of good character. They
enabled the girl to accept his attentions

a couple will sit at each table. Forget

the same shape. In fact, everything
about the supper will sug gest cupid as
much as possible.
Little heart shaped cakes will be
served with the iced cupids-what an

a Suggestiveness about 1t which the

on an unwilling swain.

st. Valentines Day to be Celebrated as If
It Were the Last
HEARTS, DARTS AND ICED CUPIDs.
New Women Who Are Practising
Popping the Question - The
Penalty of Masculine Co
quetry.

st. Valentines day will be observed
this year as never before. A combna-
ton of leap year, Cupid and New Wo-
man could not be resisted, and the girls
are arranging parties for ST. Valentines
eve, which will clearly demonstrate the
superiority of womans executive ability.
The general program of one of these
parties is as follows:
On st. Valentines Eve the girls will
call, in carriages, for their adored ones,
going in couples that Mrs. Grundy may
not be shocked The gentlemen will be
assisted from the carriages by the
ladies; will be presented by them to the
host Qor brother of the hostess has
agreed to welcome the guests, and will
receive all the attention hitherto given
to the fair sex.
The girls understand fully the impor-
tance of details, and therefore the
house will be arranged beforehand with
cozy little hooks behind towering palms,
and in the deep recesses of windows.
On that evening the girls intend to show
the boys the perfected art of making
love, and you may be sure that all will
be carefully considered A lover should
not be awkward, even in the most mo-
mentous period of his mean her, life.
For time there will be dancing, the
girls choosing their partners and lead
ing them through the figures of the
dance. This particularly pleases the
girls. who are going to get even with
some of the boys-the poor dancers, of
course. Between dances, the girls will
be given opportunities to whisper gen.
tie nothings to their blushing swains,
and no man shall escape.
Exactly at twelve the music will cease
and each maiden will escort her beloved

Los ANGELES HERALD:

screened from observation by one of the
ships great ventilating tunnels, Morley
snatched his first lovers kiss, clasped his
sweetheart to him for the first time.
She drew back, smiling. and her next act
delighted him. 1t was her first deed of
sweetheartly thoughtfulness. She pulled
from the bosom of her dress small pho
tograph of herself and shyly gave it to him.
"That is to look at-Dick-when / am
not with you" she said.
He received it with a lovers fervor. FL
nally he said gaily: "See, l will put 1t
with my other great treasure" and start
ed to tuck it into the pocket with his dia-
monds.
NO." she interrupted, 'I will do It,"
and with the delightful boldness of a mai
den whose love is newly acknowledged, she
pressed it into its position near his heart.
Soon afterwards she left him to brood
over his happiness in the moonlight as he
smoked. 1t was while he was thus en-
gagged that the evil looking second cabin
passenger again unpleasantly attracted his
attention. Morley was leaning on the outer
rail close to the second cabin dividing line
so close that when the unwelcome per-
son pretended to partially lose his balance
as the ship pitched, he had no difficulty in
clasping Morley about his neck. 1t was
clear that it was not accident, for the man
pulled Morley about a good deal-almost
over the rail in fact-before he regained
his feet. AS soon as this rapid episode
was ended the man obsequiously, and with
wicked leer evidently intended to be
propitiatory smile, begged Morleys pardon.
Before this came. however, Morley had
been jerked and hauled about so that his
coat was disarranged and his temper even
more unpleasantly rufiied, AS the mans
face came close to his during the ingenious
assault, Morley felt that he could read
real hatred in it. This idea he put aside,
though, after he had reflected that the
man had no reason in the world for hating
him. 1t was his first impulse to report the
affair to the officers; but he knew that the
man could give plausible excuse to them
and he finally decided to say nothing about

founded. He looked keenly at
Morley first and apparently was satisfied
that he was telling the truth. He instantly
ordered four men to search the second
cabin suspect and all his belongings, but
this ended without bringing what he sought
to light. Then he called the stewards OF all
the sections together and instructed them
to inform every person in the first and
second cabins that the captain wished them
to meet in the grand saloon at II the next
morning.
At the appointed time all the passengers
except some invalids (who were otherwise
provided for) were there, crowding the
great room to its utmost capacity, and
alive with curiosity over the extraordinary
proceedings. In a few words the captain
explained that one among the crowd had
suffered a very serious loss. doubtless
through theft. No one was definitely sus-
pected, but the jewels must be on board
the ship and must be recovered. He asked
the passengers to submit to having their
cabins searched while they remained in
the dining saloons, and announced that nc
one would be permitted to go below or
out upon the deck while this was going on
The work he said had been given into the
hands of six squads of two men ana one
woman each, under the command of one
of his most trusted officers. Further than
this he asked the men to file one by one
through the purser's Office where each

that these seemed like harsh measures

it was well laid plan through which the
man had intended to rob Morley, and
which resulted successfully?
But how had the man learned that he had
diamonds to be robbed of? Constantly his
mind asked this question and constantly
against his will, his brain answered: "You
have revealed that fact to only one person
on this ship-Madeline Perrine."
1t is not fair to say that Morley for an
instant voluntarily or involuntarily, believ-
ed that the woman to whom he had, that
day, declared his love, had robbed him. The
idea was a part Of the logical sequence of
his reasoning, but it was rejected as often
as it came. The fact that she. as he press
ed her to his breast for first lovers kiss,
and afterwards as she shyly tucked the
photograph away, was really the only
person who had had an opportunity to take
the diamonds. was an ugly thought and he
definitely thought it only once.
Before it went though, his mind ran, al
most involuntarily, over the circumstances
of the case. AS matter Of fact he knew
nothing about the girl except what few
days Of companionship had taught him. He
had never seen her before the voyage be-
gan, and the captain had no better knowl-
edge than he. that she was what she and
her friends asserted that she was. Was it
not possible that she was clever, un-
scrupulous woman. travelling under false
pretences for dishonest purposes? But his
infatuatlon was too intense to permit him
to let his mind dwell on the impossible pos
sibility that she was an adventures and
had deceived him.
He soon saw that he could do little toward
the solution Of the to him. terrible puzzle.
He went to the Captain, late as it was, and
told his story in every detail except that
relating to his unwelcome suspicious of
Madeline and their foundation.

Stock Market Denoralized for Time, but Recovered.
 New York, July 1.-The stock mar ket was demoralized at one time to- day, and the liquidations were on @ wholesale scale. The break in prices which extended to 79s per cent. in the case of Lackawanna was the result of increased activity on the part of the bear leaders, who are temporarily un- opposed by the bulls; the engagement of $900,000 gold for shipment to Europe tomorrow and a belief that about two million more will be exported on Sat urday; the strength and advance in sterling exchange, and the illness of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
 A drop in United States per cents of 1925 of nearly per cent, which is something very unusual, added to the nervousness which prevailed. The shrinkage in the treasury gold reserve, however, gave the most concern and the withdrawals of the metal for ship ment were used with good effect by those operating for lower prices.
 There was an entire absence of sup port and the friends of the grangers, anthracite coalers and industrials stood idly by while the prices for their erst- while favorites were cut down 1 per cent. or so between sales. The depre- citation naturally uncovered a great number of stop loss orders and the sell ing for the account of holders whose margins had been exhausted reached large proportions.
 London was attracted by the low range and bought probably 10,O0C shares, but this was a drop in the bucket and proved unavailing so far as checking the downward movement is concerned.
 A number of prominent issues touch ed the lowest figures of the year and notwithstanding this there was very little disposition to. buy until near the close. This led to a general rally and the market left off steady in tone Net changes show losses of 14 to 7k. Lacka- wanna leading.
