he consoled himself. ''I'll find her
again-some time-sure." Yet, in
spite OF his assurance, the picture
of his charmer in flight with the
Italian kept intruding into his
cogitations and impelled him to
get to England as fast as pos
sible.
So. in the following days, he
drove the ship in a series of mad
energy which served to make his
reputation as a shipmasterI He
slept at ntful intervals during the
day and kept the deck at night.
The yards were swung to every
shift Of the wind, the watches
were ceaselessly employed pulling
and hauling on the ropes, the
steersmen guided the vessel with
their shippers eye constantly upon
their work, and during the whole
passage, which was a windy one,
the royals were only slowed once.
By dint Of constant vigilance and
hard driving in which nobody was
spared, Arson brought the John
Calvin into the British Channel
within 18 days Of leaving New
York. Four days later the anchor
was dropped off Gravesend.
"a good passage for a ship Of
this build commented the Trinity
House pilot.
The Search
A wire to the Cunard office at
Liverpool, dashed off at Gravesend,
brought him the information that
Miss Lucy De Mar had arrived on
the Servia two weeks previous
and had left on the boat for Lon.
don shortly after the liner locked.
A search of the London hotels,
big and little, resulted in a blank.
Then, while the ship was loading
a cargo of empty barrels for the
return passage to New York, he
made flying trip to Boulogne and
Paris.
A weeks feverish combing Of the
Partisan hotels and the rendezvous
of the smart set failed to afford
the slightest trace Of his divinity.
Frankly depressed, he decided to
give up the quest and return to
London, and it was in detected
spirits that he drove to the Care
st. Lazare for the purpose Of
catching the train to Havre.
In the Boulevard Haussmann he
caught sight Of a man and a wo-
man in a passing carriage. 1t was
but a fleeing glance-both car
riages were driving fast--but eye
and brain confirmed his hopes
with incredible swiftness. "By the
gods, it's her" he calculated in
gasping excitement.
He sprung up from his seat.
"ArreteZ!' he barked at his driver.
The man pulled up his horse,
startled by his fares vehement
shout. while Arson leaned out of
the window in an effort to pick
out the conveyance she was riding
in. But the traffic was heavy and
he could not distinguish her We

entertained the hope that some

from the London agents asking Il
they might send the John Calvin

him to his senses again, and after
a last fruitless whirl around the

Are Heavier.

Registrations in aCcountanCy and
business administration at Benjamin
Franklin University this Fall show an
increase Of 80 per cent over last year.
One hundred and eiShty-two freshmen
have already enrolled in the day and
evening divisions, while the advanced
classes bring the total student BODY
we'll over 400. In order to take care
of those who could not be accommo-
dated in previous sections OF the
freshman class, another evening sec
ton is being formed which will open
October II. This class will meet three
times week from 7:30 to 9:20.
The increased demand for courses in
accounting. business law and admins
tration appears to result from the
realization that such training not only
prepares for the professional practice
of accountancy. but also provides the
best possible education for executive
and administrative positions in prl-
vate business organizations. The en-
rollment consists of young men and
women Just out of high school, bust
ness college or university, bookkeep-
ers, cashiers, bank and commercial
auditors, credit managers, lawyers,
teachers, and men and women in Gov
ernment employ.
One of the reasons for the increase
in registrations is the growing popu-
larity of Washington as an educa-
tional center. This, combined with the
tremendous expansion of business in
the past five years, results in q de-
mand in Washington for accountanCy
