She stopped abruptly, catching

Macarthur ignored the remark,
and went on. ex-officio, with his

for single second. Then she
answered lightly, girlishly:
"Oh, splendid, Doctor. Nothing
keeps me awake, even,' she added
more soberly, when I suppose
should stay awake and be some
help and comfort to my sister.

in an equally light tone, while

mo, and. of course, since this
tragedy, hats don't matter"
He felt himself rebuked. Hazel
briefly said goodbye and went
through to the inner room. He
turned to Kathleen:
would you care to take a
little ride? The air might do you
good. Or would you care to walk
a little?"
Il think I'd like short walk.
I've been indoors all day
thinking The exercise may
clear my mind!'
They crossed the street from
the hotel, walked past the red
brown bulk of the Pacific Union
Club along California street. The
low, gray facade of the Hopkins
Art School was opposite them.
Below, through the gaps be-
tween tall apartment houses that
rose like a line of gigantic mon
oliths of a modern age, the city
dipped away to the north from
. the plateau upon which they
were, into valley filled with
houses and cut by the straight
welts of streets.
Kathleen breathed in the fresh
bay air and tentative tinge Of
color, like the faint pink on
white sweet pea, appeared on her
pale cheeks. They walked sew
eral blocks, then came to a little
plaza, a square of jade green into
which the o'clock afternoon sun
poured a full stream of gold. On
a bench just deserted by a crisp
nursemaid and her two charges,
they found seats. DR.. Cressy's
mind was in a sort of glow of
wonder; blood red, yet golden, like
a sunset. Only yesterday he had
been called to come out to a taxi
where a man had just been fOully
murdered. Now, early the next
afternoon he was sitting with
this mans silent fiancee. Such
was life. mysterious and advgn.
turous thing.
Questioning Suke
Kathleen broke the silence; size
had glanced at him two or three
times; he felt she had something
she wanted to say.
''Suke, the sick hallboy, has
completely recovered hasn't he,
Doctor? Mr.. Aimes said you mad

She drew a deep BREATH

her in surprise.

''Deserting seems to have been
a pastime on the 'Sumatra, as

DIR. Steritt, deserted, too. /"
Across the doctors mind there
flashed the scene Of the night
before-almost fantastic refnem-
bered here in the bright sun
shine-of the darkfaced youth
wavering across the room toward
the corpse. For some reason

asked.

a moment before the name, "at

Mental Stress
Kathleen, although hesitant,
still seemed under the COM
pulsion of talking about the
poisoned hallboy.

nothing. "Kent beat Suke ter
ribly for something. never
knew just what he'd done
Kent wouldn't talk much about
it-but / think it was for dis
turbing something he had in
the cabin; something he had
brought with him out of Egypt"
DR.. Cressy looked at her. Was
she trying indirectly to tell him
something? Was there a shad-
owy meaning within these words
which she did not make more
definite? He answered her vague
ness with sharp distinctness.
do you men you think Suke
came purposely on board, in
an assumed character, for some
purpose and that that
purpose had something to do

His fortnight putting Of 1t
seemed to frighten her.

A moment later she said II

HISTORIC FORD
ELIMINATED BY
DUPONT BRIDGE
Crossing Was Traffic Men
ace During High Waters
81 Paving Started.

A historic ford in use more than
ninety years was eliminated this
week with the opening of a new
bridge at Dupont on State Rd. 26
The crossing was a source of con.
slant annoyance to traffic, because
many times each year the little
stream, overlooking it's banks, pro-
hibited fording and blocked traffic
for days.
Records show that the road was
blocked six times this year by
high waters, each time ranging from
one to four days. In late months
the highway commission kept a
truck at the ford to pull cars
through when waters receded to a
point the machines could cross in
safety
The commissions traffic bulletin
pointed out that construction and
paving has started in many parts
Of the State and from now until t'1e
coming winter forces a shut down

will be scenes Of great activity.

Premier Kafo
of Japan Dies

TOKYO. Jan. cS.-CP)-The Japa
nese Diet has been prorogued for five
days as the result of the death here
early today of viscount Takaaki
Kato, the premier.
In the meantime, r. Wakatsuki.
minister of home affairs and leader
of the Keneseikai party. is expected
10 be named premier ad interim and
ne is expected to reappoint all min
listers. The entire cabinet resigned
following the death of the premier.
There is much speculation as to who
will be the new premier, who prob
ably will be named few days after
the regent consults the Genro (elder
statesman).
Vlscount Kato's death was unex-
pected as bulletins issued last night
stated he apparently was recover
ing. Pneumonia developed from in
fluenza and his generally poor physi-
cal condition resulted in death.
Political conditions are chaotic gem
orally. 1t is expected the Diet will
be dissolved shortly.
The premier was stricken with in
fluenza last Saturday and while his
ply sicians said his condition was not
serious they watched him closely and
would not permit him to attend ses-
sions of the Diet. Tuesday when it
appeared likely that his absence from
office would be prolonged Wakatsuki
was selected to act temporarily as
premier.
