 CHAPTER ".
 4 Clue
 4 motor boat lay of Kingsweaf Ferry when Mark Brendon arrived
 She was painted white and fur. nished with teak. Her hrasses and machinery glittered; the engines and steering wheel were set forward, while aft Of the cabins and saloon an awning was rigged over the stern, The solitary sailor who controlled the launch was in the act of furling this nsotection against the sun as Mark descended to the water. and while the man did so. Brandon's eyes bright oned. for n passenger already occu- pied the boat: a moman sat there and he saw Jenny Pendean.
 The boat was speedy and she soon slipped out between the historic cas- ties that stood on either bank Of the entrance to the harbor.
 Mrs. Pendean pointed to the man in the bows. He sat upright with his back to them at the wheel forward, He had taken of his hat and was singing very gently to himself. but hardly loud enough to be heard against the drone O. the engines His song was from an early opera of Verdi.
 Have you noticed that man?"
 Mark shook his head.
 He is an Italian. He comes from Turin but has worked in England for some time."
 She called to the boatman.
 Stand out a mile or so, Doria," she said. T want Mir. Brendon to see the coast line"
 Aye, aye, ma'am,' he answered and altered their course for the open sea.
 He had turned at Jenny Pendean's voice and shown Mark a brown, bright, clean-shorn face of great beauty.
 Giuseppe Doria has a wonderful story about himself" continued Mrs. Pendean. Uncle Ben tells me that he claims descent from a very ancient family and is the last of the Dorias of-I forgot-some place near Venti- miglia." The boat turned west presently, passed a panorama of cliffs and little pays with sandy beaches, and anon skirted higher and sterner precipices, which leaped six hundred feet along | Perched among them like birds nest stood a small house with win lows that blinked out over the Chan1s 1el. It rose to tower room in the midst, and before the front there stretched a plateau, whereon stood a flagstaff and spar, from the point of which fluttered red ensign.
 The motor launch slowed down and presently grounded her bow on the ebbles. Then Doria stopped the en-

On With the
Dance
BY BERTON BRALEY

BY BERTON BRALEY
Some solemn folk chorus, There's
stern work before us,
The worlds in a terrible state;
We've no time for laughter, we've
got to get after
The business of setting things
straight.
Cut out the romancing, the singing
and dancing
Which people pursue with such
vim;
They're most deleterious; we must
be serious
Serious, logged and grim"
So, column by column, we're warn
ed to be solemn;
But, though it's a worrisome
world
Which isn't behaving and badly
needs saving
From dangers in which it is swirl
ed,
Still we and our neghbors can light
en- our labors
With song and with jazz now and
then;
Conditions are fearful but @e can
be cheerful
While building things over again.
Far better be singing and dancing,
than wringing
Our hands in a futile despair,
Our job may appall us but that
needn't thrall US
In clouds Of perpetual care
Our tasks on US levy toll that is
heavy
But still to our work we advance
With vim we go to it and smile while
We do it
And pause-now and then-for a
dance.

HOW AMERICANS VIEW
SHIP SUBSIDY DEFEAT.
STEPHEN PACE.

A whole lot of Americans, the
that the ship subsidy has been
Times-Recorder finds, are glad
that the ship subsidy has been
defeated American people have
always hated the idea of Sub
sides, %; hence they are SUSPECT
Gus of anything that 5macks of
such favors. OF course we ought
to have a merchant marine so as
not to be dependent on foreign
ships, during peace or war, but
it seems that this can't be. Our
shipping laws, which have been
dictated largely by alien interests,
and hypenated politicians, favor
the foreigners, and We might as
well reconcile ourselves to this.
Great Britain, France, Italy,
Germany Holland and the little
Scandinavian countries, and even
Japan, can have their fine fleets
of seagoing ships, but the great
American nation is unable to
agree on a plan that will work.
The people Of all other nations all
stand together against the world
when it comes to an issue of this
sort, but we have such a large and
powerful alien element in our
population that we can have no
national policies,
So let's have no more scnti-
mental nonsense about keeping
the stars and stripes on the sea"
Let's haul down the flag delber-
ately, sell our ships to the foreign
ers or junk them, and own that
we are beat.

us when he was approached to
buy this stock, We would have
done all in our power to dis
suade him from buying it. 1
believe that 10 per cent of the
Texas oil promoters who sell
stock through the mails are
frauds; if there is an honest
man among them l have never
found him and / have had oc-
casion to investigate scores of
them. The really surprising
thing is that anybody can be
found to give them good money
for lying promises. With best
wishes, | am,
Yours very truly, T. B. CONNER
Chief Examiner, Georgi Sc
curities Commission.
From this letter it will be seen
that my friend has purchased alb
soulteIy worthless stock, and that
the promoters are declaring a
100 per cent dividend with his
money from the results Of a dry
well.
1t was my privilege to write and
secure the passage Of the present
securities law Of Georgia, during
the 1920 session, and it gives alb
solute protection to an investor
if he viii but avail himself of
its provisions; the law can not
and will not keep one from pur-
chasing worthless stock, but it
does set up machinery whereby
one can be fully informed, with
out cost, the nature Of the
stock offered and the extent to
which it is speculative. You see
the Commission thinks practically
all stock offered by mail is worth
less; then if the stocl- is offered
by an agent in person the securi-
ties law requires that such agents
shall first produce and exhibit his
license to sell such stocks in
Georgia, and which license must
show the probable value Of the
stock offered, based upon an in
vestigation made and certified to
by the Securities Commission, af-
ter they have sent an examiner
to the field and examined the
properties. The least one could do
before making such investment is
to ask for report from the
Georgia Securities Commission,
State Capitol, Atlanta.
1 suppose you saw from recent
press account that 90 Texas pro-
moters have been indicted, after
an investigation showing that
they had received over a hundred
million dollars Of the peoples mon
ey through the sale of worthless
stock.
Yours truly,
STEPHEN PACE.

Rudolf Rassendyll, who, because Of a
remarkable likeness to the ruler OF
the mythical kingdom Of Ruritania,
becomes for time its actual ruler
and wins the love Of the Princess
Flavia.
"Thc Prisoner of Zenda" is the
most popular romance Of genera
ton. From the time when Anthony
Hope, then more interested in his
political career in England than in
writing, composed it, the narrative
Of Rudolf Rassendylls reckless ad-
venture has taken hold Of the hearts
Of all who read. This was the first
Of the stories of romance in little
Kingdoms in Europe. and no better
inication can be had of its success
than it inspired hundreds Of writers
to initiate it. But none Of the re-
sulting stories had the Zest, the dew
il-may-care spirit of the original, for
that was written chiefly for the love
Of Imagination the author had; II
was as glamorous to him as to his
readers.

To see one of the greatest

to the screen, travelling under the
most alluring of titles, one has but
to view Shadows" which will be
shown at the Eltinge Friday and
Saturday.
When Wilbur Daniel Steele Gre
ated Yen Sin. the Chinese laundry
man who was cast up by the sea,
he made decidedly new and graf
living contribution to literature:
| But when Lon CLANCY visualized
the part in this newest Preferred
Picture, he did something far more
important. for he added pictur-
esquc, living. breathing and alto
gether lovable character to his al
ready long list Of screen personal
tiles.
To say that any one screen pro-
| duction possesses everything the
blase theatre-gOer might seek in
photoplay, sounds almost too ex-
travagant to be true. But it
comes remarkably near to being
the fact in this highly entertain
| ing camera story.
The picture was produced by B
p. Schulberg. Tom Forman, fol
some time Tom Meighan's direc
tor, was in active charge Of pro
duction. An unusual cast includ.
ing Marguerite De La Motto, Har
rison Ford. Walter Long, JOIN

Buddy Messenger was selected t
