tween Al White, United States Mar shal, William H. Caswell, his chief d1puty at Ketchikan and Sandy Levy, long reputed to be a leading boOtlegger and other worse things, also of Ketchikan.
 When Levy was arrested and Il led recently on a charge of being drunk and disorderly, guard Davis was an important witness as to the fact of drunkenness. He told spe- cial officer Fred Handy that Levy was "craZy drunk" But when ne was on the witness stand, he denied the drunkenness and said that Levy was ''crazy' and had no smell or liquor on him" statement that was refuted by every other enforce ment officer called witness.
 This change in Davis's testimony has been attributed to the special interest which chief deputy Caswell has in Levy, for on good authority we have on it that "There was noth~ ing that Caswell hated to do more than arrest Levy"
 Enters Marshal White
 Marshal White arrived convent ently in Ketchikan very soon after levy was convicted to take a prison CT to Juneau. He also made it "con- I.nvy's attorney, and gave Grigsbv some free advice.
 'I don't believe that a prohibit a man for being drunk and disor- dcrly under the Volstead Act" the UNITED STATES MARSHAL SAID. Furthermore, I believe you ought to appeal the case, and I am sure, ever. if you lose, the worst you will get is $25O. fine"

| Whats the trouble?" Cyrus most
obligingly asked.
"Oh, money" Lila replied with a
gesture that implied the situation
was a usual one.
Cyrus frowned. well, you know"
he began doubtfully. IT rather think
they must be spending more than
they make"
"Of course they are!" Lila ex-
ploded. Rods borrowing from his
father. But don't blame them. Tom
Fraser brought Rod here and Molly
started BERTHE Lou out trying to
keep up with them. And Tom
doesn't pay Rod half enough" she
added complailingly.
"Oh now, Lila, you know Rod
hasn't got very big job. dare
say Toms fair enough to him."
That's just it! Rod hasn't any,
thing to look forward to there. And
don't think Rods father can lend
him very much. 1t will be a pity

Her voice trailed off wistfully.
HIM. Maybe 1 could do some-
thing for him." Cyrus suggested.
Lila became highly animated at
once. why. of course" she ex-
claimed gleefully. I'VE should have
thought of that before. You must
have some place in your big COM
pany for Rod. And I'll be so glad

get her to trail around with me
when it costs anything Just as if
you didn't give me oodles of money
you precious old darling"
well, I'll see what I can do"
Indeed he did something about it.
He sent the auditor of his company
out to take charge of a western
branch and put Rod in his place.
He invited Rod to lunch with him
when he reached this decision and
put 1t up to him. For a moment
Rod was nonpulsed. lila certainly
had worked fast. But he wanted
no undeserved favors.
"All right Cy," he said, you've
knocked me off my feet, but there's
one thing I want to know. How
much of this is due to friendship.
you're offering me a lot more
money than I've ever earned and I
don't want to take it unless you
think can make good"
Cyrus Scowled. Young fella, I'm
able to offer you a reasonable salary
because 1 never made it a practice
to overpay any man, no matter how
valuable he was to me-"
Rod grinned.
But don't mind giving a leg up
to a real hustler" Cyrus went on.
And guess that little wife of
yours won't weep over having more
bacon in the house."
How literal that was only Rod
knew.
The rest of the conference was
The Indianapolis times., 1928-07-21

I occupied with details. Rod returned
to the Office treading on air. And
BERTHE Lou was so thrilled at the
news when Rod told her at dinner
that evening that she was rendered
thoroughly incapable of further
household duties. II was great
news!
Then when, finally, the first
flush of enthusiasm had disap-
peared. BERTHE Lou began to Woo
der what had won Rod over so
completely from his recent stand
that he would accept no favorS
from Cyrus.
Unwittingly Rod supplied the
answer. "Cy'S a generous old buck,
but the gold-plated loving cup goes
to Lila for this work." he said.
Bertie Lou understood. He had
talked it over with Lila. And with
out effort she seemed to have con-
vinced him more forcefully than
BERTHE Lou could that there was no
reason why he shouldn't be IL the
employ of Lila's husband.
Too bad Rod didn't tell her the
rest of it . that Lila had worked
on his love for BERTHE Lou. The
latter was left to believe what
she would, because Rod lacked her
ability to guess what other people
would think Of given circumstances.
Had she been in his place she d
have known that it must lock
rather strange for person to right
about-face. Shed have made an eX-
planation in a case like that.
But she was not disturbed by her
conclusions. Just the merest bit
piqued. 1t wore of soon in the
happiness of their release from
money bondage. Later she was to
remember it with far more poig-
nant significance.
Rod remained with Toms firm
for the customary two weeks after
giving notice. Two more weeks were
taken up with work under the man
Cyrus was sending west before he
finally took charge of his new posi-
ton.
Tom-and Molly too-was inclined
to be little angry about his leav-
ing, but lila took care to explain.
She induced Molly to help her try
The Indianapolis times., 1928-07-21

to inveigle BERTHE Lou into moving.
Rod came near going through the
roof when Bertie Lou mentioned the
idea to him. Suffering Swordfish,
I thought we were all through being
fools" he said hotly.
"All right, all right" BERTHE Lou
hastened to appease him. "But Lila
gave me a hint about Cy. She said
he liked to see the men who worked
for him living well. Not like spend
thriftS, of course, but he wants
them to do justice to the positions
they hold. He'd hate to have a
Loree man who holds any kind of
a job at all, making a poor impress
sion."
Nov look here, BERTHE LOU" Rod
said soberly, we're gonna save"
One month later he came home to
learn that BERTHE Lou had sublet the
apartment.

was about ready to tell Cyrus

flexible string of decent" dia-
monds would please her more.
Jewels were not in her mind
however. Something moro impor-
tant to her than jewels occupied her
thoughts. She was smiling over q
campaign the campaign she
had launched when she mad ex-
tended the olive branch to BERTHE
Lou.
At the moment Rod was thinking
of her as surprisingly good fellow
the smile slid off her face like a
mask.
Cyrus had opened her door and
came in without knocking. Lila
'quickly took up a hairbrush and
began stroking her bob over her
face.
Some day, she feared, Cyrus would
see the telltale change in her
features for which his approach
was responsible.
The dumb OK! Coming in like
that when her mind was filled with
a man who made him look like a
caricature of the beef trust.
Cyrus was a little fat, and more
than partially bald. But his eyes
were kind in spite of the hard lines
that business competition had set
rour d them and his wide, firm
mouth.
He adored Lila. To him she was
kitten-a greedy little kitten who
would lap the cream he gave her
and then scratch. Not a soft kitten,
but an amusing one.
Cyrus was not unthankful for
having the cream to give her, and
he did not inquire too deeply into
the real measure of her affection
for him. So far he'd never heard
of the other man.
Lila always ducked his kisses and
ran from his hugs, but she was ever
teasing and wisecracking about it,
Cyrus took it all in fun. That she
really meant it never occurred to
him.
But upon this occasion she sat
very still when he put his hands on
her shoulders and pressed his fore
head dow non her sleek hair. He
shifted appreciatively of its perfume
he knew what that particular
scent cost.
Unexpectedly Lila turned and
thrust her arms up around his neck.
Cyrus was delighted when she
kissed him. "It was a swell party,
wasn't it?" she said. mo casual

"You bet. But that sounds to me

Maybe you could call it that"
Lila assented. "Say, did you notice
anything about the Buyers tonight?"
II noticed that BERTHE Lou is still
almost as pretty as you "~e."

CHAPTER XXI

Lila sat before her dressing table

worn that evening. She lifted the
long string of pinkish pearls from
around her neck and tossed it care
lessly into a velvet-lined jewel box
It was the first time she had
handled them carelessly. Always
their glinnmering beauty had ex-
cited her with the reminder of their
intrinsic worth and the fact that
they belonged to her.
Tonight they were, for the mo-
ment, of no more Importance to her
than any Of the imitation strings

she had assembled to opulence.
