then, abruptly, accusingly: you
told me once you didn't love Ware'"
She had no answer to that, so she
said nervously:
"You see now how it is-Mr
Ware has a horse in the race at
Saratoga; I wanted to see 1t, So
so Lila and I are going together
We-er-Sort of chaperon each
other. You do understand"
I'm darned if I dol" he admitted
helplesSly. Everything'S a hopeless
muddle to me, since got back from
France. I rather wish I'd died in
that prison camp.
Don't say that!" she cried
sharply.
He stared at her. Her eyes were
filled with tears.
I'm sorry for you, Captain Far
qauhar," she faltered, thinking rap
idly too hoping to heaven he hadn't
noticed her emotion.
He leaned forward, his hands sud-
denly clenched.
"Then you have guessed how it
is with me?"
It was her turn to stare.
At that moment the drawing room
door opened, and Lila, followed by
Herbert, emerged. The back of the
seat hid Farquahar from Lila. She
didn't see him until she fairly stun
bled upon him.
White to the lips, with Herbert at
her elbow, she gave him her hand
when he Sprang up. She felt as
though she were going to faint. She
tried to speak, but her voice refused
to come.
1t was Dorothy who introduced
Jack to Herbert. They bowed stiff
fly and then stood staring at each
other, as genial and friendly as two
bulldogs.
May Varney chose that unpro-
pitious moment to come strolling
down the aisle.

Then there are other methods OF
finding your way and we had to re-
sort to them in the old days.
"On one occasion was flying
into Chicago with Bert Mcconnell,
one of the editors of the Literary
Digest, one as a passenger. I knew
had reached Chicago, but the
Weather wos so murky 1 couldn't
locate the field. That was in the
days before we had any night fly
ing equipment in our planes, not
even as earchlight.

was between my feet. tried several
times to locate Checkerboard field,
the Chicago terminal, but failed. My

then dived down through the dark

Checkerboard field and must have
been right over it when I was
hunting for it."
On another occasion coming west
over the Pennsylvania mountains,
Smith lost his way in thick weather.
When it broke he saw large city
on the northern horizon.
Buffalo, Not Cleveland
Thinking it was Cleveland he
headed for it. Then he spied
Niagara Falls and found the city
west Buffalo. So he followed the
shore of Lake Erie to Cleveland.
One of the methods used by pilots
TO locate themselves when lost Is
to spot the railroads under them.
They do this my huntin ga train
and then. by gliding down and fly

name of the railroad. Then by con-
sulting their maps and studying the

NEED GAS TAX MONEY

Budget Cut Is Opposed by City
Engineer.
The city engineering department
would be greatly handicapped by
taking away the gas tax money, A.
H. Moore, city engineer, declared
today.
"In making up the 1929 budget we
anticipated an amount similar to
last years receipts" Moore said.
The department has received
$4,000 thus far this year and
$1,000 was carried over from the
previous year. One hundred thirty
thousand dollars has been spent,
leaving $4,000 for emergency repairs
until the next fund is available.
Maintenance of 400 miles of streets,
from thirty to thirty-five years old,
was covered in a report to the
works board.

CHAPTER l..


ETERBERT was waiting at the
i Il station when the two girls ar
rived. He saw Dorothy, and a frown
of displeasure crossed his face.
Lila drew him aside.
Listen, darling. Dot is going,
too, because-because there's man
at Saratoga who" She stopped,
threw him a gay little smile, and
winked significantly.
"I see." Herbert relaxed a trifle
Call right-only I'd wanted this lit
tie holiday alone with you"
"Why are we going to Saratoga
asked Lila meekly, as they made
their way to the train.
Herbert explained graciously.
1--WE never told you, darling, but
I own a couple of race-horSes.
Varney got me into buying them.
None of them has done anything
much until recently, when one
proved veritable dark horse and
came across in fine style. BY the
merest f1uke, had a chance yeSter-
day to enter him in a race at
Saratoga tomorrow, in place Of a
favorite. Since nobody knows much
about my entry, there's fine
chance that, with the odds we'll get,
we can make a big cleanup"
Lila's gaze met Dorothy'S.
Herbert's horse was undoubtedly
the one on which Jack Farquahar
hODed to win money!
The porter conducted them to a
drawing room. 81 took this, hoping
to be alone with you," Herbert told
Lila reproachfully, while Dorothy
was still in the aisle of the parlor-
car.
''I'n so sorry, darling. But you
wouldn't want Dot not to have her
chance, would you? And this man
sh!" she admonished, as Dorothy
joined them,
TXTHEN Herbert had gone to pur-
w chase a last-minute news
paper, Lila drew Dorothy down on
the seat beside her and explained
hurriedly:
1--WE told Herbert that you're go
ing with us because of man. And
the man, Dot, will be Jack, if we
bump into him."
Dorothy colored violently.
"Lila, have you utterly lost your
senses? You're getting all of us into
a worse and worse situation"
Don't you suppose 1 know it?"
groaned Lila I'm simply going
round in circles now, without any
definite plan"
Herbert came back.
1.-THE Varneys are in the parlor-
car. I rather thought he'd want to
see my horse run. Neither of them
spoke to me-"
Despite the summer warmth, Lila
shivered.
Dorothy, to whom Lila had de-
tailed Mays threat, caught the
significance of the situation and
rose
"I'll go out and gossip with May"
she said.
She closed the drawing room door
carefully behind her and made her
way down the swaying aisle of the
speeding train.
Miss Camel"
She stopped, swaying unSteadily
with the motion of the train.
Jack Farquahar stood beside her.
For a long moment Dorothy and
Jack Farquahar stared silently at
each other; then they became aware
that they we're blocking the aisle of
the car, and they moved aside
rather embarrassedly.
Dorothy sank into the nearest va
cant chair, and Farquahar found a
seat beside her.
what are you doing here?" he
asked her. BY mutual consent, ap-
parently, their recent angry parting
was overlooked.
Saratoga" murmured Dorothy.
He started.
Good heavens, is the whole world
going there? 1 just saw that friend
of Lila'S--MrS. Varney-and she's
bound for the races, too"
Dorothy smiled family.
"I have a surprise for you, but

CREDIT EXPANSION
HELD CLOSE TO LIMIT

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October t0.-Charles E.
Mitchell, president of the National City
Bank, said today that any student of
the situation must conclude that credit
expansion resulting from increasing
stock prices is fairly close to the safe
limit.
He was of the opinion, however, that
the situation would ultimately adjust
itself before reaching the danger stage.
He saw no immediate prospect of lower
money rates. He did not expect the re-
turn gold movement to reach large pro-
portions, and predicted that such gold
as may be attracted by the high money
rates will flow back when the rates re-
turn to their normal levels.
Mr.. Mitchell returned early today
from a trip to Europe. Conditions in
Europe are progressively good" he said,
although not uniformly so. The
establishments in various countries as
to sterilization is practically over, and
industries are adjusting themselves to
the new levels"

BALTIMORE, October 10 ISpeciaD.
The Baltimore Stock Exchange has
taken steps to exercise in some form
supervision of the accounts of members
and has called upon those holding
seats on the exchange to make sug-
gestions.
The tentative plan suggested is as
follows: THAT each member or mem
Der firm, except as exempted, shall fur
nish to the business conduct committee
on or before January 81, 1929, and
thereafter at least once year, an au-
ditor's certificate, which shall state in
substance that the firm is solvent and
that all securities held by them in
safekeeping for customers have been
checked and found correct and proper
~ set aside. The name OF the auditor
is to be selected by the member of the
firm and submitted to the business con-
duct committee in advance. The latter
committee reserves the right at any
time to disapprove of the auditor. The

BALTIMORE, October 1Q-The de-
mand for oysters will be greater than
the supply this season. owing to a short
crop. according to SwepSon Earle, State
conservation commissioner.
oysters taken so far this season, while
not large, have been fat and healthy
and are bringing $l.10 bushel whole
sale. Because of their fat condition

oysters.
The crab season, which has produced
an unusually large catch, will aid in
conserving the oyster crop. Water men

taries are still making money from
crabs, it is reported.
A striking example of the wisdom of

DOWNWARD TREND
IS NOTED IN BONDS
Convertible Issues, High
Grade Rails and Public
Utilities Drop.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. october 10-There was
a generally reactionary trend to today's
bond market. Not only were prices for
convertible issues lower in most cases
out fractional declines occurred in high
grade rails and public utilities and in
number of foreign bonds.
The downward direction of the mar
ket was influenced in the case of the
convertibles by desire to take profits
or to failure of negotiations on which
advances had been based; also to a
degree of staleness in investment Securi-
ties. Andes Copper Is, which were around
10 last week, declined points, rallied
and then reacted early today Ana
corlda Copper rs opened fractionally
higher and lost their gain with seller
bonds offered 2 points under the regu-
lar market. Anglo-Chilean Is were of
4 points on nominal transactions and

were down point.
The most extreme change is that
occurring in Pressed Steel Car CONVEX
Jible SIS since Monday, when they sold
at III. Today they broke through par
At the same time the stock into which
they are convertible has declined about
points with the denial of the rumored
merger.
Dodge IS sold a point higher at lOI
and then reacted AS they will even
tually be redeemed at no. there are
likely to be rapid up-and-down move
ments until official action is taken to
retire them.
An exceptional movement was that in
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Con-
solidated Abs, which rose over 3 points
on the announcement that control OF
the road had passed to the Van Swerln-
gems. This assumes that it will develop
a larger earning power and that there

this year should have a better invest
ment rating. Not all of the advance
