She Immediately proceeds to neglect
him, when she learns that q former
lover, Roland Carney, is living in
happiness with his bride. Anne de-
cides to win Carney away from hi
wife. { "a as'a Il
Her first move is an attempt to
make the husband suspicious of
Agnss Carney. Anne leads her un-
'susD ecting, into many plots, but each
is ys1successful.
Ihen &he woman begins a direct
attack on Roland. She learns a way
by which she thinks he can make a
fortune in the stock market at the
expense Of her own husband and she
gives the tip to Carney. But Martin
discovers her duplicity, and turns
the market against Carney.
The result is that the man is
ruined, and he turns in anger on the
woman who has been trying to lure
him away. Martin, disguised with
his wife's secret schemes, throws her
to the floor and leaves her.
This wonderful feature will be

Latest Ruling Is Thought to
Favor Chances Of Big Yards
Getting Bu:ness

| ouSeoA, ACA., way ES.-COnCfaC
tors who wish to build wooden ship.
Tor the government will be forced t.
build at least twelve vessels unde
the lump sum" contracts now de-
handed. Contractors must bid OF
building ships, and if the govern.
ment is so inclined contracts will be-
awarded
This information was secured
from copy of the new contract re.
ceived today by Charles N. Crowell,
district superintendent of the ship
ping board, who is located at Hous-
ton.
/ No contracts will be awarded for
less than twelve vessels, and the de-
livery of the ships is required one
each month, giving a reasonable
time for the delivery Of the first
one. An amount to be agreed upon
will be paid by the government to
the contractors within thirty days
after signing the contract.
Other payments will be made az
follows: Five per cent of contract
price on all twelve ships sixty days
after signing of contract, per cent
IN ninety days, 20 per cent when
keel is laid, 80 per cent when frame
is completed, Is per cent when
launched, Is per cent when ma
chinery is installed and the balance
within thirty days after delivery.
The government reserves. the pri-
vilege of demanding reasonable tests
and trials before acceptance, and
the contractors must show that rea-
sonable and fair progress is being
made on the vessels before securing
the stated payments.
Contractors must give entire time
OF yards to government work onI
hand, and subletting Of contracts for
vessels will not be recognized by the |
government
The general opinion is that the
new lump sum" contracts will be
OF advantage to the larger contrac-
tors in that they will be forced to
accept larger contracts and will
have to assemble working force
that will be easier handled than a
smaller yard. The contractors will
also have the privilege of making
their own prices, provided they are
low enough, and will not be bother
ed with constant supervision as
would have been the case under the
old form of contract.
No actual bids have been submit
ted through Mr.. Cowell to the gov
eminent today, but a number of
contractors have secured detailed
plans and expect to submit bids
shortly. No one so far has announ-
ced that he has given up the idea of
building ships. The change in the
contracts may cause a delay from
ten day to two weeks, but hardly
longer. Il
Mr.. Crowell stated today that A.
Contl' marine engineer, United
States shipping board, Washington.
D. c., will require the services of a
number of experienced marine en-
slne craftsmen, preferably special
SITS in piping and general, arrange
nent work.

know that Wilson would detect her malingering very quickly-and begged to be taken into the house.
 1T feel very Ill.," she said, and her white face bore her out.
 Schwitter and Wilson carried her in and up the stairs to one of the rooms. The little man was twittering with anxiety. He had a horror of knockout drops and the police. They laid her on the bed. her hat beside her; and Wilson, stripping down the long sleeve of her glove, felt her pulse.
 There's doctor in the next town" i" said Schwftter. T sent for him a while ago-my wife's not very we'll"
 "I'm a doctor"
 ''Is 1t anything serious?"
 Nothing serious"
 He closed the door behind the re- lieved figure of the landlord, and, go- ing back to Carlotta. stood looking down at her.
 What did you mean by doing that? You were no more faint than I am."
 She closed her eyes.
 T don't remember. Everything went black. The lanterns"
 He crossed the room deliberately and went out, closing the door behind him. He saw at once where he stood in what danger. If she insisted that she was i'll and unable to go back, there would be a fuss. The story would come out. Everything would be gone. Schwitter's, of all places
 At the foot of the stairs, Sehwitter pulled himself together. After all, the girl was only i'll. There was nothing for the police. He looked at his watch. The doctor ought to be there by this time.
 Another car. Perhaps it was the doctor. A young man edged his way into the hall and confronted him.

 Joe went up the staircase. At the top, on the landing, he confronted Will son. He fired at him without a word saw him fling up his arms and fall back, striking first the wall, then the floor.
 The buzz of conversation on tho porch suddenly ceased. Joe put his revolver in his pocket and went qui- etly down the stairs. The crowd part ed to let him through.
 Carlotta, erouched in her room, ns- tening, not daring to open the door, heard the sound of car as it swung out into the road.

Carlotta had set the hour for meet Ing Wilson at nine, when the late dusk or summer had fallen; and she met hm then, smiling, faintly perfumed white figure, slim and young, with a thrill in her voice that was only half assumed.
 Its very late," he. complained. Surely you are not going to be back at ten"
 T have special permission to be out late"
 "Goodl9 And then, recollecting their new situation: 'We have lot to talk over. It will take time."
 At the White Springs hotel they stopped to fill the gasoline tank of the car. Joe Drummond saw Wilson there, ID the sheet-iron garage alongside of the road. Tine Wilson car was in the shadow. It did not occur to Joe that the white figure in the car was not Sidney. He went rather white, and stepped out of the zone of light. The influence of Le Moyne was still on hlm, however, and he went on quietly With what he was doing. But his hands shook as he filled the radiator. He mad been an ass; Le Moyne was right. ded get away-to Cuba if he could : ana start over again. He would forget the Street and let it forget him.

 That was Wilson, the surgeon in town. He used to come here. Now ne goes on to Schwitter's. Pretty girl he had with him."
 So Max Wilson was taking Sidney to Scnwitter's, making her the butt of garage talkl The smiles of the. men were evil. Joe's hands grew cold, his mead hot. A red mist spread between nm and the line of electric lights. He knew Schwitter's, and he knew Will son. When R., growing uneasy, came out into the yard, he was in time to see Joe run his car into the road and turn 1t viciously toward Schwitter's.
