CHAPTER 564.
Copyright, 1920, King Features

During the period Mabel Storrs ha:
| been in charge of Jim's office, she ha.
never left it to come to me during
working hours. Her Loyalty te
schedules has a strictness which is
ica1 in its adherence to the nine-to-
one and two-to-six periods which she
considers as the least part of a day
which may fairly be given to 1.-The
job
So Miss Mays announcement that
| Mabel was her way to my office
had an emphasis beyond any need
CT my secretary's adding that Miss
Storms had said there was an urgent
| must be lost. The mere fact OF
Mabers coming to me, instead of is
suing a nonchalant request that I go
| to her showed that som ething tre-
mendous had come UP.
I'VE might go over these bills
while you're waiting-unless you
| have something else. to attend to-
suggested Miss May, with a kindly
| desire to be useful rather than irri-
tating as she succeeded in being.
ct have" I replied almost CURLY.
Then, with a shamefaced realization
that I'd yielded to a bad case of
nerves due to the revelations OF
the morning, 1 added: MY dear, I'm
all in just now. Two persons I trust
ed have just hurt me frigf1tfu1ly
Your real interest ought to rest ore
the balance. But it doesn't. Now
I'm going to run out and get a, sooth-
ing buttern1i1k and then see if I can't
meet Miss Storrs sanely without any
rough edges
Mss May smiled at me shyly-her
plain, middle-aged face suddenly ra-
dfant
How nice of you-to explain" she
cried. mo one else would have done
| that, and if you'd gone out leaving
me to realize that I'm a lonely old
maid who's inclined to force mother
misera b1e.''
| Mother avay!" I cried you're
| a perfect blessing, Miss May And
| 1T means a lot to me to have some
one around who's SO sane and prac-
teal"
Whereupon I dashed downstairs
| around the corner to the nearest drug
store and then to the garage and got
out the little blue car Envy left in
my keeping. With this method of
| rapid transit ready for instant use,
I felt armed "cap-a-pte" and ready
to tilt at whatever dragons Mabel was
L
back to the office I found Miss May
watching for me with a vo1ubi1ity
and alertness which fairly hurled me
| back down the stairs I'd just climb
ed. Her words pe1ted after me as
I hurried back to the car which I'd
| taken from the garage to such good
purpose.
Miss Storrs hurt herself fright
fully as she was leaving the office.
She said to come to her at once
Take a taxi at the corner''-
| Dashing down the stairs with a
feeling that something was immi-
nent, 1eaped into the blue car and
started for Jinnis office, allowing in
my flight just a quarter of a seconds
margin of safety between myself and
the speed laws.
Driving with all the skill at my
command, I hadn't much time for in
trospectdon or speculation of any sort.
The thing to do was to get to Jin1's
office with all speed, and I purpos-
ed to do it.
My establishment was so extreme
as to partake Of chagrin when 7 ar

GLOOM IN ITALY
Civil War. Clouds Are Hanging
Low Over Nation.
Fascist CIamoring for Control
OF Government.

Rome, Oct. 27.-Signor Facta, whose
cabinet resigned last night under pres
sure from the Fascist today invited
Deputy Benito Mussolini, parliament
tary spokesman for the Fascist, to
come to Rome to participate in the
formation Of a new government
This represented a definite victory
for the Fascist who were threatening
civil war unless they We're given a
controlling voice in the new ministry
Rome. Oct 27.-Civil war clouds
hung ominously low over Italy today
while leaders of the Fascist were
clamoring for control of the new gov
ernment which will succeed the Facta
ministry that resigned last night,
A wave of excitement swept thru
the city following a rumor that Fas-
cisti army was marching upon Rome
TO take over the governs ent By force.
There was no confirmat ton Of this re-
port and finally the peoples fears died
down.
King Victor Emmanuel was re-
ported on his way to Rome to inter
cede in the government crisis. It was
generally anticipated that former Pre-
rnier Giolitti would be invited to form
a new cabinet with the assistance of
former PRIMER Orlando and that
number of important posts would be
offered to the Fascist
If the Giolitti- combina ton
fails. Deputy MussoliHi, spokesman
for the Fascist in the chamber of
deputies. may be called upon to form
a government
