CHAPTER Xxx

MTOW, Mona"
IN Jack Smythe spoke soothing
~, as one humoring a recalcitrant
child. He even touched her Shout
der.
Don't you Mona mel" she cried.
And drew away as though his touch
had burned her. "You-you-"
No SceneS!' he commanded curt
~. "And you'd better get out of this,
you know. It's none of your bust
ness, Mona"
Her dark skin was livid with fury
and her noStrilS quivered with ex-
element of her unleashed emotions.
Easy now" he cautioned.
'Easy!" she Kissed.
There was something dreadfully
primitive about her sibilant fury.
Smythe turned to AShtoreth
"The woman seems determined to
make an exhibition of herself" he
said. Perhaps, Miss Ashe, you had
better go below"
But Mona had snatched Ashto-
reth's wrists.
mol" she ordered. She'll stay
here"
The Englishnan had grown very
pale in the moonlight. Philosophers
say that the superior man can find
himself in no situation in which he
is not master of himself.
But there is no superiority born
of man to rule the fury of an angry
woman. And no one, asSuredly,
had ever mastered Mona in rage.
Smythe's poise seemed to increase
her agitation.
Now she wheeled on Ashtoreth
like virage
IT told YOU" she cried, that he
was a bad mans. He made love to
me, like to you. And then he put
it in book-and sell it. People
buy his book to read why I go
wrong. And he make money"
The vehemence of her TRADE
choked her, and she stopped her
breath. She put her handkerchief
against her mouth, and when she
took it away, Ashtoreth saw that
there was blood on it.
"Mona!" she cried.
But the other girl shrugged i'm
patiently.
Ashtoreth shuddered.
"PleaSe," she begged, don't be so
excited You've made yourself i'll.
It's awfully dangerous, Mona

might be from your lungs, you

whispered. Her voice had grown
weak, with exhaustion or fright. "a
short life and merry one, mon petit
chou"
Smythe cleared his throat.
You ought to see the doctor,
Mona" he declared. IF you will
go to your cabin, will ask him to
attend you Immediately It's sui
cidal, yoE know-taxing your
strength this way. My God, you
ought to get yourself under con-

Mona laughed mirthlesSly.
"SWine!" she retorted
Smythe looked at her coolly and
turned to Ashtoreth.

Mrs. Jones, born jamie Brady,

death she had gotten the children off
to school and was busy about the

TAX REFUNDD Of

Washington. Dec. 8.-(P)-A tax
refund Of $9S9,833 has been given
by the treasury to Senator Couzcns.
Republican, Michigan, from whom it
had sought to collect an additional
assessment Of $lO,O0O.OOO.
The refund follows failure Of the
governments attempt of three years
ago to levy additional assessments
amounting to almost $33,OOO.OOO
against the original holders Of Ford
Motor company stock.
Senator Couzens was the prin-
cipal defendant in the government
action. which followed closely the
dispute in which Couzens engaged
Secretary Mellon over administra-
ton Of the treasury. The suit was
to collect taxes additional to those
paid by the senator in 1920.
In connection with the refund, Sen.
ator Couzens said: "This is con-

Two and one-half years ago the
construction forces moved into the
Cascade Mountains to begin the big
tunnel Job. In order to attack the
route Of the main tunnel at many
different places, a second tunnel was
started from the west portal paral-
leling the route Of the main tunnel at
a distance of so feet. AS the smaller
tunnel advanced, cross-drifts were
run to the route of the main tunnel
where additional crews would begin
work in both directions.
At the same time advantage was
taken of a deep valley two miles
from the east portal where shaft
was sunk 622 feet and crews began
working westward from the base of
this shaft. Another temporary tun-
mel was driven westward from this
point to connect, with the one from
