She turned on her pillow, and he
saw thai she was smiling family
Her face bore no trace of the tragic
truth she had uttered. But the
tragedy was plain enough to him,
even without her ~passionless words
of revolt. The situation of this
young, educated girl, aglow with
youth, fettered, body and mind, to
the squalor of Clinch's dump, was
perfectly plain to anybody.
She said, seeing his troubled ex-
preston: I'm sorry 1 spoke that

marked with a dry humor that
brought the hot flush to her face
again.
II must have been crazy that

What a frightful thing-if 1 had

She turned her head: Il do"

you before the darned gun exploded

"How could your" she protested.
II was thinking all the while that
you were acting as I'd have acted if
anything threatened my father"
Were you thinking of that?"
"Yes-and also how to get hold of
you before you shot me-" He began
to laugh.
After a moment she turned her
head to look at him, and her smile
glimmered, responsive to his amuse-
ment. But she shivered slightly,
too.
"How about that egg?" he in
quired.

She half rose in bed, supported on
one arm, her curly brown-gold hair
framing her face:
Two cakes of sugar-milk choc-
olate in a fiat brown packet tied with
a string" she explained, smiling at
his amusement.
So he went down to the pantry
and discovered the parcel on the
bread box where she had left it that
morning before starting fer the
cache on Owl Marsh.
He brought it to her. PLACED ootn
pillows upright behind her, stepped
back gaily to admire the effect. Eve,
with her parcel in her hands,
laughed shyly at his comedy.

said. I'm going back to fix you

When again he had disappeared,

THE REFEREE

Hugo SHINES takes over another
gigantic enterprise-the printing Of
Germany's flood of paper money.
Illustrating Shines instructive
grasp of fundamental principles, he
prints the new German marks on
the presses that turn out the colored
comic section for one of his
papers.
The next thing on the program
apparently will BIZ the decline Of the
American mercantile marine in it's
passenger-ship end.
Thirsty traffic will be willing to go
to Canadian ports to sail on liquO'-
serving foreign ships. Or the for
eign liners will enter our ports and
take on their saloon supplies after
they pass the three-mile limit,
transferred from other ships.
However, this may be in keeping
with our modern mercantile marine
policy, as it might enable Washing
ton to sell u passenger liners at so
cents apiece.
Important
What is important, worth MOTTO
ing, of the many angles Of the Euro
pean situation? Well, here's one that

indelibly:
The French government has not
yet ratified the program of the
Washington naval disarmament
conference. This is the key to the
European situation, if there is any
key. An American can understand
the French claim that they need a
big army to protect them against
Germany. But, for that purpose,
She doesn't need a supremacy, espe-
cially submarines.
Is Napoleon's ghost rising?
Mightier
We aren't quite as peaceful as we
imagine. A government report says
that about $4,000 American wage
earners are employed making type
writer's and supplies, against 10000
making ammunition and 5000 MAX
ing firearms.
Since typewriter is the modern
pen and ammunition and gun the
modern sword, the saying that "the
pen is mightier than the sword
Will bear checking up on it's indus
trial side.
Wheat
Price of wheat never would fall
below s1.25 a bushel or rise above
$3.50 if the grain market were stab
llized by a government fund of
S100,000,000. So claims Arthur r.
Roberts. commission broker, men,
Der of the Chicago Board of Trade.
The fund, according to Roberts
suggestion, would be used to buy
up grain surplus at seasonal times.
Worth considering. A hundred mill
lion dollars, suddenly taking a hand
in the situation, should be powerful
enough to stabilize any market.

Wages are to individuals what
dividends are to corporations.
To find you personal value as a
strictly business proposition, multi
ply your income for a year by 16 2-3.
The result will be your value" on
which you carr 6 per cent a year in
the form of wages or salary.
By this process, when you in
crease your income $1,000 a year
You have increased your capital, or
personal worth, S16.6&.67. Which
makes it clearer why it is so diff
cult to raise the old income $1,000.

Begin Here Today

For the second time, Love made
its appearance in the whirlpool of
passions that surrounded the Flam-
ing Jewel, that priceless gem, stolen
first from the
COUNTESS OF ESTHONIA by the
great international thief,
QUINTANA, and stolen from Quin-
tana by
MIKE CLINCH.
1t was love of the o beggared
countess that made
JAMES DARRAGH swear to restore
the jewel to her. He traced it to
Clinch's disreputable hotel in the
Adirondacks, where he worked
N under the name of Hal Smith.
Now love was appearing in the
life of beautiful
EVE STRAYER, Clinch's step
daughter and the one influence
for good in Clinch's crime-stained
career. Eve, captured by Quin-
tana and threatened with torture
to make her reveal the Flaming
Jewel, escaped from his savage
clutch and was brought to camp
by
STATE TROOPER sToRMoNT.
Stormont stood guard while
Clinch and his gang went into
the night to wipe out Quintana's
gang and with them
kLOON. the rum-runner, and
LEVERETT, the trap-thief, who had
escaped with the jewel packet
when it slipped from Eve as she
was being carried into the camp
after her escape.

CHAPTER V
In the hot, uncomfortable silence,
neither spoke. Trooper Stormont
seated himself after a while. And,
after a while, Eve turned on her pill
low part way toward him.
Somehow they both understood
that it was friendship which had
subtly filled the interval that sep
arated them since that amazing day.
