Points Out Peril in Use Of Open
Flame Lamps.

Citing the Sullivan mine disaster in
indiana as striking example" OF
the necessity for strict enforcement
of mine safety regulations, Secretary
Work yesterday declared that the
disaster emphasizes the great haz-
ard in the continued use of the open
flame lamp in mines.
Several hundred thousand open
lights are carried daily in the coal
mines of the United States" said the
Secretary, each lamp being a haz-
ard to life and property through fire
or explosion. Open lights have been
responsible for many coal-mine dis
asters in the past.

JERUSALEUM. February 81 (Jewish

termed a coup d'etat, not directed

danian notables assembled in the city
hall in Amman, the capital of Trans
iordania. to take action against Trans
jordania's prime minister Rikabi
Pasha.
The assembly unanimously decided
to overthrow Rikabi Pasha's govern
mont and Immediately to establish a
representative council, to dissolve
Rikabi Pashas party and to eXpel its
leader from the country.
Rikabi PaSha, one of the Arab ma
tlonaliSt leaders, who came into the
limelight since the World War, played
an important role in the developments
in French Syria, Mesopotamia, the
Hedjaz and Transjordania. Although
at one time an open opponent of Emir
Abdullah, he accepted the post OF
premier Of Transjordania, the west

changed the situation on the Arabian
peninsula since the Wahabi forces,

Of HedjaZ, to Mecca after his visit in
Amman, Kikabi Pasha, although prime
minister, visited the various Bsdouin
tribes on the Arabian peninsula and
melted them against the Hussein

OF the Wahabi forces on Transjor-
dania on the day Emir Abdullah was

CHAPTER XII

Peter had spent eight days upon the
sea and had landed on his own soil
again before he came to the full reali-
cation that mere reasoning will not
solve battling problems such as that
upon the untangling of which he now
had so much at stake.
He had come into New York without
word to his acquaintance only Colby
Pennington of Pennington, Gould &
Goodhue, who was the son of the elder
DeWolfe's attorney, knew of Peters
return from his long absence. This
lean, Unconditional lawyer looked upon
his young client, put in hand by the
death of the elder Pennington, as he
would upon an old heirloom without
much intrinsic value. The law bust
ness did not pay much in spite of the
size Of the DeWoIfe estate and the
younger Devote was considered by
those who are conventional, regular
and of stock patterns, as a rather I'M
certain mixture of quantity and
quality.
Pennington had never expected Pc
ter to explode or disgrace himself, but
the lawyer belonged to a type of cor
rect and regular life which does not
fear departures from correctness and
regularity and stock patterns of hui
man beings as much because of known
hazards as because of the unknown
hazards which those who always play
safe imagine lie in ambush behind in
dependence and originality and imagi-
nation. For instance it would have
disturbed the chilly Colby to have
known that Peter was returning from
a record Of hard action, wounds and
decoration, without a word to his
friends, and that instead of going to
his club, he went, like a returning
ghost, to his old apartment where the
heat Of the summer had been locked
in and where for many months the Sc
we're portrait of the elder DeWolfe had
directed an u%nblinking gaze at the
door waiting for the sons return. Such
a return was not cut according to ap-
proved fashion and if Pennington had
known of its nature he would have felt
a vague anxiety.
Peter knowing this merely asked,
after a greeting, whether any cables
had come for him finding that there
were none he went for a lonely dinner
and q night alone In his apartment
with his trunks standing around among
the linen-covered chairs like fat, solid
men whom Peter had called in for con-
ference.
The fact was that Peter had deter
mined to hold a conference with him.
self. He had opened the musty apart
ment which had been his bachelor re-
treat for several years; there had en-
only the unstirring, hushed air
which, as If itself exhausted by the
heat, hung In a night haze over
the city below his high windows and
limmed the blinking, winking lights
across the park. The muffied sound Of
l hurdy-gurdy that had invaded this
district Of pretense and high rents,
Ike q shabby minstrel Of the poor
ground out its WORKOUT war tunes to
'osbidding, boardsd-up residences In q
hope of largesa. The night was
aot one for clear thinking. but Peter,

THAT there is more love in going
than in staying-for both of US"
yes" said Peter touching her fore
head again. "Good-by."
He closed the door quietly.

He continued down the carpeted
t, stairs and out into the first morning
sunlight that came tumbling down
over the chimney pots into the narrow
street.
"Vanished?' he said aloud. what
pifie! And yet
He looked about him the street was
empty except for one small child who
was sweeping the sidewalk with a
broom three times the Youngsters own
height.
GOOD morning" said Peter.
"S'ine m%ornin'," the one In kits
said.
"Finest ever, son." returned Peter.
81 amt a boy I'm a girl, sir"
"NYell, it's a fine morning In any
case"
Peter walked on, thinking; he had a
lot of thinking to do.
1t added somewhat to his need of
thinking when he found at the steam
ship dock in Liverpool a plain en-
velope addressed TO him in which was
q scrap of TORN paper. Upon it in
typewriter letters and unsigned were
the words:
BE warned before it is too late"
Peter raised the scrap of paper to
his nose it was pungent with an odor
of some strong chemical.
He stood thinking for a moment,
blinking at the reds and grays and
browns of the shipping in Liverpool
harbor and the distant sky yelled with
smut and smoke of city and barred by
smOkestacks and masts.
On them-whOever they are" he
said. This time they've got a fight
on their hands"

XIII

Peter, who had presented Brena's
letter to the caretaker of the Parma
lee estate and had eSceived a few sui
len references to the fact that the
place was a great bother and was said
by many persons in the village to be a
house of evil influences, had been di-
rected up the long hill under an arch
way of dripping trees and stood at
last at the very gate which Parmalee
in his a%lco5oIic fury had shaken as he
invited his imaginary prosecutors to
attack. him.
The change in the weather. brought
about by the sudden turning landward
of a heavy Atlantic storm, had trans
formed midsummer into a chill, wet
March. The cold, damp wind swept
across the top Of the hill, tossing the
arms of the trees within the walled
Enclosure to which the gate gave en-
trance, so that these arms appeared to
be assaulting the French roof of the
square gloomy old house, as if that
house had committed some crime.
Weeds and rank growth had sprung
up along the wall and behind the gate
in the creviceS of the fagstones of
the walk each stalk, bending with the
nights rain. shed drops of water like
a weeping mourner. Peter, having
glanced up at the windows behind
which Brena had heard the winds of
winter whine and complain and had
watched the pale moon throw dancing
shadows on the dank lawn, felt his WI
skin shrink In response to the thought
of all that a young girl must have suf-
fered here. He would square the ac-
count for herl
The squeak of the c~aretaker's key
in the rusty lock of the gate started up
a dozen crows, cawing madly as If
driven from some carrion feast. When
Peter had used Brena's key to unlock
the front door, hideous with its black
carvings and its stained and
loaded glass, the odor of dust and de-
cay filled his nose as with a dry and
powder. Without volltion
of his own bis ears strained to hear
some sound, some %retreating foot
steps, some whispered voice In that
house, but one came; the place was
as still as a dry cave. In this still
