HERBERT made a queer sound
IL in his throat. If he'd been
eating an olive, Mrs. Varney would
have said he was choking on a pit.
Il nearly threw Jacks poor fam
lily into commissions by refusing to
be married with a ring" the lady
promised with a seal-ring of Jacks,
when the minister said it couldn't
be done without, but I took it off
the second the ceremony was over"
Herbert reached for water, feel
ing that he was choking.
But you-haven't I seen you"
He faltered feebly, for he lied badly,
at all times. Don't you sometimes
wear a-er-circle of diamonds-like
wedding ring?"
May Varney shook her head Wig
orously.
Symbol of bondage-that's all a
wedding ring isl" She dashed into
favorite subject with enthusiasm.
"Now, take men, for instance. Elk
cept in Europe, no man wears any
thing to proclaim to the world that
he's got a wife. Look how free he
is; look how"
She talked on and on, and Her
bert nodded duly, politely, his
thoughts in chaos. May Varney
was enthusiastic; she believed she
was making a convert for the move
ment to revolutionize modern mar
rage customs.
Herbert wondered agonizingly If
Varney would ever show up to take
this maddening woman away.
He resented May Varney as Bit
terly as if she had deliberately
plotted to destroy his happiness.
That it was destroyed was certain,
he told himself Lila had lied to
him. There was a Jack" some
where in her life.
After Varney had come and taken
May away, Herbert paid his bill and,
fairly nauseated at thought of bust
ness, betook himself uptown.

CHAPTER XIV
An Imprinted Actress

TTERBERT WARE sat at a table
L Il in a downtown restaurant, eat
ing solitary luncheon in state
approaching GUINNESS. The big
room was crowded with business
men and women, singly, in pairs, in
groups.
There was none of the "hush"
about the handling of crockery such
as distinguish the uptown lunch
con places of big business, but the
food was excellent and the service
quick; two qualities that appealed
to Herbert's mind, when he was
being purely a business man and
not a social light.
He was gloomy and moroSe that
day, because he was eating lunch
con alone. Lila had refused his
invitation for lunch at Sherry's;
she'd said she had an important en-
gagement and couldn't break it.
1t seemed to Herbert that she had
too many of that sort of engage
ments. His ideal wife-an ideal Lila
had seemed to fit to perfection in
their courtship days-was one who
was always ready to play when he
was, but who was quite as willing to
slip back into oblivion when he
wanted to work. This new Lila, who
had emerged since their honeymoon,
rather reversed the procedure.
Having accepted Lila's explana-
ton of the mysterious Mr.. Jackson
and the near-wedding ring, Herbert
realized that he had little to worry
him. And yet, something told him
that all was not as it appeared on
the surface. There was something
curiously evasive about Lila of late.
He had just come to the conclu-
on that the trouble lay with Doro-
W Caine-"she's putting some of
ar crazy, independent ideas into
Lila's head; probably telling her
not to be a slave to her husband"
when a smartly gloved feminine
hand tapped him lightly on the
shoulder.
Hello, Herbert Ware! Will you
let me sit with you in this bedlam
while I wait for my husband?"
The speaker was May Varney; she
was pretty, well-dressed, and breezy.
Herbert welcomed her as change
from his gloomy thoughts.
II II
TIM here to beard the lion in his
i den and drag a check out of
him." laughed Mrs. Varney. as she
seated herself opposite Herbert.

my life. I've weighed ninety-flve for
years and years." Cherry contrib
uted, as she again took her seat be-
side her husband and determinedly
drew his arm about her slim, green
silk clad shoulders.
Don't you want to see the dahl
las, Crystal? Some lovely ones
have bloomed since you were here
last. Old Peter has certainly done
himself proud this summer, consid-
ering that this is his first season
here" Rhoda suggested, her kind
eyes noting that Crystal was flush
ing painfully at Cherry's rather
malicious remark.
Thanks, Rhoda, but really must
get along home" Crystal answered,
rising and setting her teacup from
the stone garden table. cts been

have lunch with me the next time
you're in town shopping"
Thanks for the invitation. I'll
call you up, though. 1 may be pref
ty much engaged with Alan Boards
ley, since he's coming so soon"
The interurban station lay beyond
the johnson dairy farm and Crystal
cut across pastures to reach it, not
little fearful of meeting one of
Nils prize bulls.
She was just climbing over
stile of the fence that evidently
separated the Johnson farm from
the Grayson's, when young man
rose from the bottom step of the
other side of the stile and stood
bashfully and respectfully for her
to pass.
Crystal was about to assume her
sophisticated citygirl air TO return
his mumbled greeting, when some
thing about the man attracted her
attention. He was tall, dark, good
looking, in a sort of diamond-in-
Thorough way, and he was I'M
doubtedly a Mexican.

Cherry had risen from the big
fan-backed garden chair and the
shelter of her husbands arm as
Nils offered her the unopened tele-
gram.
"It-happens that it is from
Alan Beardsley,' Cherry said, not
looking directly at Nils and crump-
ling The yellow sheet into a tight
ball in her fist. "He says he is go
ing to be in Stanton on business for
a week or two and wonders if he
can see me-us. OF course I'll
say no, if you like Nils, but"
But since he saved your life,
we can hardly be uugracious to
him." Nils said evenly. Tell him
to come, of course. was only iok-
ing. Tell him to stay with us while
he's here
THAT might not be convenient
for him. Cherry refused quickly.
We're half an hour from the city
by car or interurban, you know.
But you're a darling to suggest it.
Then I'll wire him that we'll be
glad to see him?"
The answer was scrubbed upon
the blank form offered by the boy,
but Cherry did not offer to show
either Beardsley's message or her
reply to her husband, a fact which
Nils, for all his good nature, did
not fail to notice and resent faint
ly Crystal decided.
So Cherry, the notorious fiirt,
was at it again. For the thousandth
time, Crystal wondered how girls
like Tony and Cherry did it, wished
she could learn their secret.
"These are noble sandwiches.

singer there's going to be wonder

Sometimes, even us feminists find
it polite to approach husbands after
meal. Jack becomes perfectly
mellow after a Chateaubriande
steak"
She stripped off her gloves and
began to eat olives from Herbert'S
untouched hors 'doeuvres. Herbert
noted the absence of her wedding
ring.
He felt little prick of remorse
when he remembered how, at first
he had distrusted Lila's story about
Mrs. Varney's ring.
Jack will probably turn me down
cold" May varney was rafting on
IT haven't a bit of business buying
new pearl earrings when I have
three sets already. But these I saw
today are too precious. I simply
must have them"
It occurred to Herbert, even while
he smiled indulgently upon the ex-
travagant lady, that women have a
curious code of honor.
He'd imagine that May Varney
would have wanted to pay her just
bridge debts and redeem her sacred
wedding ring before she'd think OF
purchasing baubles.

asked politely, to make converse

used in making tints completed by
the United States Bureau of Stand

The bureau has measured with

The investigation has disclosed

OIL LEASING in
OKLA. BY FALL
Is CALLED SHAM
Indians Seek to Cancel Oil
Leases Made by Former
Secretary of Interior

TULSA, Okla. March IA P)-Ve-
hement declarations OF Albert B
Fall, then secretary of interior, fol
competitive bidding for Quapaw In
dian mining leases in Oklahoma, were
characterized by C. B. Ames, attorney
for the Indians, in district court here
today, as sham.
The Indians seek to cancel the leases
which were made to the Eagle Picher
Lead company in 1922, when Fall
was member of the presidents cab
met
They allege that the leases were not
made by competitive bidding, that
they were irregular and not in con-
formity with Indian treaties with the
government.
After the lead company had con-
opening statement, asserted that Fall,
urged by Harry F. Sinclair, Oil mag
nate, had determined to award the
leases to the lead company without
competitive bidding.
while Fail was cussing mad at
Washington, pretending to want COM
petitive bidding" Ames said, "he had
a letter from Sinclair with a tele-
gram which Sinclair had forwarded
from Joe w. Perry, Kansas City
banker, protesting against competitive
bidding. Competitive bidding on the
part of Fall was sham and a pre-
tense and paper scheme to award
the leases to the Eagle Picher Lead
company Fall already had made up
his mind to that.
Secretary Fall made a pretense OF
publication for open bids to be re-
ceived at Washington" the attorney
added. Fall gave but nine days no
tice on the bids"
Charles H. Burke, commissioner of
Indian affairs, who earlier today tes-
titled at the lease hearing, also was
criticized severely by the attorney.
Burke, Ames said had acted more
like a clerk" in his connection with
the lease sale "than department.
head"
Burke was asked if the method Fall
used in leasing the Indian lands had
not been similar to that employed in
the Teapot Dome leasing and replied
that it was not, when he testified
earlier today.

Endeavour, which started a trans
Atlantic flight Tuesday morning and
at midnight tonight was becoming

This became known definitely when
Major Gordon Sinclair, close friend
Of Hinchlitfe and whose whereabouts
since the flight started have been a
mystery, appeared at Purley, the sub
urban home of the British war ace.
He said that Miss Mackay was the
only passenger on the plane.

his wife as companions in her vigil.
Throughout the day and evening she
scarcely stirred from the telephone
over which she momentarily hoped to

"The whole thing was rather hur-
riedly arranged" said Major Sinclair
in telling the story Of the START from

that should accompany Captain
Hinchliffe, but Miss Mackay was
keen on going so I gave way to
her.
"At her request I agreed to be a
party to the fiction that 1 was

not wish her family to know anything
about her trip, as she desired that
they be spared anxiety.

Miss Mackay or / accompanied him"
Major Sinclair explained that after
the flight started he went back to
Granthan, where the party had spent
Monday night, and then proceeded to
London. He would not reveal wlere
he stayed in this city, but he said
he had been "lying low until things

WASHINGTON March IA P)-
American taxpayers dug into their
purses again today to meet tomorrow
their annual dues to Uncle Sam
but with the gratifying knowledge
that on the basis OF their income
tax payments this year a permanent
reduction in rates may be possible
in years to come.
Awaiting the returns from the first
installment OF income taxes which
must be paid up by tomorrow, the
senate finance committee is suspend

in the tax reduction measure it re-
ceived some time ago from the housc
While taxpayers the country over
were worrying today over the amounts
they owed the government as dictated
by the complex return schedules
treasury officials withheld any pre-
diction CT what harvest was in sight
The returns of tomorrow will give
the first real gauge on the financial
condition of the country during the
last year and it there is any appre-
ciable drop in the nations income it
will cloud the prospect OF measure
able reduction at this session.
There is no indication of such a
trend, however, on the basis OF pre-
liminary returns, although an official
survey conducted by the government
recently was declared by Senator
Smoot, chairman of the finance COM
rnittee, to indicate falling off OF
to 10 per cent in income last year.
Income tax returns made during
this month up to the twelfth totaled
$34,933 ,331 as compared with 31,110,-
210 during the same period last year.
A slight reduction, however, is shown
in the total of payments during this
fiscal year, from last June 30 to
March IL. Payments so far this year
total $1,143, ,4384 407 as compared with
