 As I told Lillian that the ''re- ceipt" Samuel Brixton had given her to sign was a formal release for herself and Marion of all claims against him, the former business as- sociate of Marion's father turned upon me with a savage little sound in his throat
 "Well! What of it?" he demand ed truculently. Its only matter Of form, to protect myself I'm hand ing over twenty thousand dollars. It's funny thing if l can't even have a receipt for it"
 He had turned to Lillian, but she did not look at him.
 ''I leave this matter with you" she said 10 me in a low voice. You know I never wanted to take this money from Marion, but I'll do ex- actly as you say"
 "why bring a third person into this business which concerned only Tom and me-" Mir BriNton asked querulouSly.
 "Because it now concerns Marion" '" Lillian answered quietly. and l do not feol equal 10 making a decision unadviSed. If it concerned only mo. I should refuse even to discuss the matter with you, sam. for I never could touch d single penny coming even indirectly from Tom"

Curiosity is terrible master. Ask Peter Rabbit if this isn't so. He knows. Curiosity drives one to do things that one knows better than to do. It always has been so and I suppose it always will be so.
 Just take the case of Buster Bear. He had watched two men build a queer little house deep in the woods It Was built all of logs. Curiosity had led him to go over there and inves- tlGate that house as soon as the men left. He had found one end wide open. But the man smell had peen so strong that he hadn't quite dared to go inside, although curiosi- ty and the smell of pig meat had urged him to do 50. He had left that little house. but curiosity had Urged him back there late the next afternoon, and then he had discov- cred that the uttle house was no longer open at one end. It had been closed by log door.
 Curiosity drove Peter to investi- gate a little more fully and he had discovered that inside that little house was a Robcat. His nose told him that. Then curiosity had prompted him 10 hang around until the following morning. One of the builders of that little house had arrived. Ninging with him a terrible gun. He had opened the door to tha, little house and then lifted the gun. Right then, fear was Er, ,ater than curiosity, and Buster had taken to his heels. He had heard the bang Of that terrible gun, but he had kept on going to his home in the lcdees without findiH= out what had lap- pened at that qutr lfrle house.

'SLUSH'
QUIZ PUZZLES

The unprecedented action OF the
House in naming a campaign exc
penditures, committee when a Sem
ate committee already was on the
Job, furnished food for speculation
in political circles today.
Two motives generally ascrihed
were a desire to checkmate the
activities of the Senate committee
and to protect the interests of Sec
rotary of Commerce Herbert Hoo
Ver.f
House Democrat leaders, who
put the resolution through in the
closing hours of the session with.
out previous notice. steadfastly
maintained that the House was
simply exercising its right to meet
any emergency that might arise.
The House has regularly turned
down proposals for Investigations
and considerable criticism has been
directed against the Senate for
creating so many special inquiry
bodies. @
The committee, headed by Repre-.
sentative Lehlbach R.) Of New Jer-
sey, included Newton R.) Of Mime
sofa; Nelson CR.) of Maine; Ragon
CD of Arkansas, and Black Q2) OF
New York. The Republican mem.
bers are said to be favorable to
Hoover. while Ragon was named
to represent Southern democracy
and Black is a hacker OF Gov. ZAP
Smith.
A meeting Of the committee prob
ably will be held soon, Chairman
Lehlbach indicated, but no extern
sive hearings are in prospect. The
expectation OF House leaders appar-
emily is that the committee shall
be held in reserve during the presi-
dental campaign. to get under
way should a scandal be unearthed.
Despite the holiday the Senate
committee was scheduled to hold an
executive session today to arrange
its tentative program to visit New
York, Indiana and Ohio. 1t may
decide to go to West Virginia, and
If it goes to California 1t is ex-
pected the trip will be ruade after
