eral, but how to correct that evil without discouragiHg the most profit able trade Is question.
 Undersecretary of State Paisant. discussing the question with Ameri- cans. proposes publicity as remedy He has invited American visitors to join in protest which will be pub lished in the Paris press. and he also will take up personally individual cases of extortion brought to his at tention.
 The most frequent causes of com plaint are charges for lodgings in ho- tels and apartments. Mir. Paisant told the Americans he had decided to ask hotels 10 publish their rates in the papers. This remedy would not. how ever. affect apartments. which are the subject of prohteering on scale hitherto unknown.
 There are very few unfurnished apartments to let, according to thr real estate agencies; as fast a> vacated by tenants. they are tranS formed into furnished apartments ans!

forget that voice once heard, and he was right. He remembered it. It was the voice of Mir. Duke Beamer. whom he had had the distinct pleasure of blackballing for one club in college and three in town. Mir Beamer, to his honest mind. was the best living ex- ample of animated slime in tailor made clothes.
 Mir E. was not alone Mir. Randolph could just see his companion through the slant of the half-raised window glass. and even that distorted glimpse was very close to vision. The girl was young beautiful, and troubled. Her cheeks were thin and pale. her parted lips aquiver; her chin was atrcmble Of course she was very cheaply but neatly clothed
 Make up your mind," said the rasp- ing voice. Ride with me or walk the streets by yourself. and don't forget that there's no job behind you. You've said good-by to that door for good"
 The girls wan face went through that contortion which says. 'I won't cry" and doesn't, thereby achieving a pity beyond the need of tears. The quivering of her lips, ,,.a trembling of her chin grew mere pronounced only to steady down as she swept up strick- on and imploring eyes to the face of the unseen man.
 "Oh,. Duke" she begged promise promise you'll be always good to me"
 "Of course. little one" said the rasp- ing voice, promptly and much relieved. promising lightly to pay on demand, in full for soul delivered in advance. "Youll never regret 1t, believe me"
 The girl tore her doubting eyes from his face and stepped toward the cab. Mir. Randolph made himself ex- ceeding small in the corner nearest the curb. An unseen agent opened the door; the girl slipped in and turned to seat herself; her escort made to follow. Then did Mir. Randolph suddenly lean forward and proceed to push in the

 lust when all hope seemed gone. Dr. Selby remembered something. Somewhere he had read that the post master general was .'humaniZing" the postoffice department. He rushed to the telephone and asked c. A. Sluder. manager of the air mail field at North Platte. to take him across the river in an airplane.
 sorry" said Sluder. but couldn't without getting authority from Wash ington first"
 But the woman is dying." the phy sician urged.
 "ln that case" replied Sluder i've will take you first and get the author ity afterward"
 So it was that the life of woman in an humble Nebraska farmhouse was saved just because the postofiice department has been humanlzed And so it is that. Postmaster General Hays is probably the happiest man in Wash ington.

Wall Street Once More Puts Her QuietuS on Man Who Was
 Too Ambitious.
HIS STORY IS SENSATIONAL
Nephew of Colonel Guffey, Who Made and Lost Many Fortunes. Himself
 Did Some Very Spectacular
 Things With Oil Stocks.

New York.-When the directors re- signed the other. day and the Tide water Oil compdhy, Standard oil subsidiary, thus got control of the Guffey-Gillespie Oil company, insiders knew Wall street once more had writ ten "finis" to the career of man who ''bit off more than he could chew"
 The victim was Joe Guffey, more formally Joseph F. Guffey of Pitts burgh, and fully described thus:
 President of the Guffey- Gillespie Oil company. with leases covering 220,0OO acres in the Mld-Continent and Texas fields.
 President of the Atlantic Gulf oil corporation, controlled by the Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies Steamship lines md operating around Tampico.
 President of the Colombia syndicate controlled by Guffey-Gillespie and "Agwf and owning n million acres of oil lands along the Magdalena river in South America.
 Director of Reliance Life Insurance company, and several Pittsburgh banks.
 Democratic national committeeman from Pennsylvania, promoter and "angel" of A. Mitchell Palmer's last presidential boom.
 Former director of sales for the alien property custodian.
 Uncle Lost Many Fortunes.
 Back of this announcement lies a story seldom equaled In American business and political biography. It parallels the story of another Guffey of preceding generation. For Joe Cuff fey is nephew of old Col. James M Gutfey, also of Pittsburgh, said to have made and lest more fortunes in oil than any other person in the United States.
 By l9l9 when the partnership was reorganized as the Guffey Gillespie Oil company, it had become one of the largest in the midcontinent field. Tn addition, Gufrey X Gillespie. with oth- Ter Pittsburghers. acquired 125,o0O 'acres of oil lands In Colombia, and the Colombia syndicate was formed.
 Then "Agwi' entered the Mexican >ield. organized the Atlantic Gulf Oil company. and elected Guffey president.
 Boosted Stock to $50.
 Lass summer Guffey found the bears out gunning for Gutfey- Gillespie stock, although IL had earned so a share the year before. Guftey began the fight which ended Tuesday in total defeat. Putting in almost every dollar he had and borrowing S2.00000O. he formed u pool to ''peg" the stock with New York and Pittsburgh friends.

 The girl was laughing. No longer did her eyes search for a gleam they thought they had lost forever. It was there within them, come back to rol- lick in her pupils and spill itself in reckless spending.
 "Oh! Oh! What buAp." she gasped.
 Funny, wasn't it?" said MT. Ran- dolph weakly.
 "Awfully," said the girl.
 Thereupon fell long silence. The cab cut across the traffic. reached the Avenue, and eventually the dark park before MT. Randolph found anything further to say.
 Funny. wasn't it?" he remarked.
 The girl cast him startled look.

FiniS to
 Guffey's Career

Late in February Guffey's pool tried to rout the bears and boosted the stock from p to 30. The effort exhausted his strength, and the bears. buying in New York and selling by wire in Pitts burgh, flooded the latter market. When the price reached 20 the Pittsburgh banks called their loans.
 The Tidewater Oil company took over the stock held as collateral and bought enough more to give it voting control. Guffey, Gillespie and the old directors attempted 10 fight for places In the reorganized company. Tide water asked for their resignations, and called for receiver.

THIS MAKES MIR. HAYS HAPPY
His Policy of Humanizing the Post office Department Results in Sav.
 ing Woman's Life.

.Washington.-Postm Will II. Hays probably is the happiest man in Washington today. His slogan "Humanize the Postofice Department has been carried out to what appears to be the limit. Here Is the story:
 In little Nebraska farmhouse a woman lay dying for lack of medical attention. The nearest physician was Dr. Selby at North Platte. True, North Platte was only two miles away, but between the dying woman and the physician was the South Platte river flooded to raging torrent that had swept away every bridge near and far.
 Dr. Selby had telephoned to every town within a radius of twenty miles

Paris effect of the high cost of living in Paris upon tourist trade, as indicated by the growing frequency of complaints of extortion by Ameri- cans visiting France, Is occupying the attention of the government.
 The authorities hold that the tour ists have the cure largely In their ouii hands, exaggerated prices being due In large part to indlscriminate spending by visitors, aided by the spena,hrift tendency of French prof iieors.

No uSe With an easy leap Shebec had achieved the step. Then he looked behind him and saw that the police tlivver was making better time than the street car.
 You're too drned slow" said he to the conductor-and off he jumped. The particular section of the metropolis into which the ancient leaped was a bit populated. The abundant cltlzenry impeded his progress and made straight running impossible. In the zigzagging which ensued the flvver had time to catch up and Shebec was apprehended. ln his pockets were found twenty Sl bills and about S5 in coins.
