clouded for EDNA DURYEA when
she learned that the expense of the
trip to Europe was being paid by
the frm~-which employed her hus-

Go on With the Story
"Our European manager is q shrewd
Continental by the name of Cousins"
began Jack as he and Edna settled into
the deep chairs of the ships lounge.
when he started two years ago, he
went like house-afre. Simply SHOW
eled in business. Opened new terri
tory every week. But for the last six
months there's been a slow-up; prac-
tically stop. He says it's general
depression. But the Eureka people
selling the same line as we, have been
doing land-office business in the
same territory as Cousins" He
stopped impressiyely.
w Hat Tie aHSWGTS asked EUnd.
"That-," Jack pulled out his chest
magniflcently, ''is what the company
is sending you and me abroad to find
out. Now you are in possession of my
Terrible Secret, wife Of my life. Now
that you've got it, what will you do
with it ?"
The waiter brought the glasses of
mild old Italian wine Jack had or
dered. Edna raised her glass to his,
and clinked it.
Help you solve the mystery, Mr..
Herlock Holmes!" she smiled, and
drank, her brown eyes looking into
Jacks over the rim.
They firted outrageously, though
they thought none saw. Then a
SOLDERING thought came to Edna.
What will you say to Mr. Cou-
sins ~ she asked.
Jack leaned back and assumed his
future role.
"Glad to meet you, Mr.. Cousins.
May 1 present my latest wife? She
wants to see the sights Of Europe
Italy, the Alps, Paris, London. I
want her also to see one of the most
important, things on, this old continent
the European organization of the
American Electric Supplies Corpora
tion. Take good, look at it's head
and front, Eddiei"
Edna viewed Jacks acting with the
anxious air of producer trying to Wis
ualize Forthcoming production in
which he had great financial stakes.
From what I've heard of this Cou-
sins person." she said with an uneasy
look in her eyes, "he's far from guilt
Bile. We'd best not count on an easy
time with him, Jack. He's on his home
grounds. you know. If he has anything
to hide, or to put over on you"
IL know" broke in Jack soberly
1--WE been warned He was over to
the American Office last year. They
had a thousand conferences and fred
questions at him till they lost heir
breath. When he left, all we had was
the impression of delightful time
and not darned bit of the informa-
ton we were looking for! Well be
up against the same thing now He'll
try to show US Europe SO we'll that
we'll forget what we came for.'
A sweet sense of partnership now
endeared them to each other all the
more intensely. They spent hours on
deck talking over plans for winning
Cousins eonfidence--and withstanding
his anticipated Establishments.
That it would not be easy to combine
a honeymoon trip with a hunting"
trip was evident to both, but each
kept up pretense of confidence.
One night as the ship was APP
preaching Naples they ran into
storm, squally thing, that proved
to be more noise than dagger.
But the wall of the wind and the
uneasy motion of the ship wrought
its own mood upon Edna, as she lay
