"a neglected wife, the finishing
touch"
Belamy laughed outright, and Lu-
cindas earnestness melted into an an
swering smile what notion! How
did you get it, Linda?"
Thought it up all out of my own
head, strange as it may appear. You
see-this is the danger Of it all-you
make me think, dear And If you keep
that up, first thing you know I'll be
all mental-and that would be too aw-
fulr'
Bel laughed again, more briefly, and
slackened his embrace; and she under
stood from this that, if she had not
actually lost, she had gained nothing.
Perhaps you're right. At all events
it's worth thinking about"
you will think it over, Bel-prom-
ise?"
Word Of honor. But now.--late for
an appointment-must run"
Against the better counsel of her in.
stinct, Lucinda put all she had left
unsaid into her parting kIss.-and felt
that his response was forced.
In chagrin she wandered TO window
and stood gazing blankly out till re-
called by the voice Of her secretary.
Il was TO remind you TO telephone
Mrs. Rossiter Wade"
"Oh, yes"
Lucinda took up the telephone but
only to find the wire already in use;
that is TO say, somebody ip another
part Of the house was talking without
having thought to disconnect the bou-
dolr extension. Recognizing Bells voice
she would have hung up at once had
she not overheard a name.
Lucky 10 catch you in. Amelie,"
Bellamy was saying in the blandish'
ing accents she knew too well. About

"Se here, Bel: you're not going 10

Rather not. But for reasons which
confidently leave TO your imagna'

solution of the mystery and iden-

Beach more than a week ago was
at a stand-still today with the be-
lief that Porter county authorized
and newspapermen might dig up new
clews which might assist in throw
ing some light on the case within the
next forty-eight hours.
Following a statement made yes
terday noon by Paul Wilson, common
law husband of Diana of the Dunes"
who is still confined at the Mercy
hospital suffering from a fractured
skull. a few authorities and a flock
of reporters tramped the dunes be-
tween Waverly Beach and Miller.
each in hopes of locating the sup
posed wild man" whom Wilson says
Is roaming the dunes and the muir
der of the unidentified stranger.
The search was a fruitless one.
All afternoon and last night they
searched. tramped up and down over
the dunes. without any trace of the
wild man" The nearest Times re-
porters came to a possible clew was
q story told by two girls at Waverly
beach who told a story that some
one" had seen a man in a cave in
certain direction from Waverly
Beach on Monday.
This led the reporters on a new
chase and after a lengthy search
found what was supposed to bo the
cave. but no wild man" A small,
camp fire was near the entrance. but
showed that 1t had been used weeks
before. probably by some campers.
AS far as The Times and some of
the authorities are concerned. they
believe the wild RAN" story a hoax
and from now on will extend the
search in other directions.
Sheriff Pennington was informed of
the supposed wild man yesterday
noon and promised to take a posse
out and search the dunes. Report
ers were unable to find him through
out the afternoon and later learneS
thst he was out working on anoth-
er case. The sheriff also believes the
wild man" clew a hoax and is MAX
ing no effort in that direction.
Wilson was released from the Gary
police station yesterday on 500
bonds while Fisherman" Eugene

taxes collected on vine during the
past three years
There are 1000. 900 gallons of
wine IN Sonouaa county vaults.
In 1890 It was assessed at twenty
cents a gallon In 1921. on the
theory that prohibition had made it
more valuable. II was assessed at
thirty cents per gallon.
But the wine remained In the cell
lars. and no means has been found
for its legal disposal.
This year It was assessed at one
cent per gallon.
The wine growers will seek to re-
cover all OF the taxes paid on the
grounds that with the advent of
prohibition II completely lost its
value as property.
