CHAPTER VIII
TT was Friday afternoon of
a hot tropical day and
Don Carlos was out at
the Moana.
Dick Randolph had writ
ten Don Carlos, some time
before, that a friend of his
would be coming on the
next steamer; would he,
Don Carlos, go out to the
Moana upon his arrival and
meet him?
He had gone, and found
that Ed Thompson was a
different type from what he
had anticipated him to be
in the weeks that fled by
quickly awaiting Thomp-
son 'scommg from the Ori-
ent. Just what Dick, gay,
fun-loving, could see in ner-
vous Ed Thompson had been
beyond Don Carlos imagi-
nation.
But that was one of the
charms of these islands
one met so many people.
Like ships in the night, they
saluted each other and then
passed on into life's vast
wastes. Save for those few
who made a definite impress
siOn on one S mind.
The men were sitting on

weighty matter, eh, Thomp-
son ?"
"Oh, | know what a wo-
man would say on this sub

mouth. =
"Pray explain this mys-
terious thing to me. j."
Thompson wants to know
if all this lure of the islands
is just drivel, or whether it
is real. You've lived here
all your life. What about
it,"
"Lure? Romance? /

right, with their sunsets and
the moonlit nights, but we
have these things the world
over. Perhaps if Al and l
solve our problem through
this new marriage idea of
ours, we may be able to tell
you about our romance, at
least. What do you think,
Al?"
AL Harding looked at the
wisp of a girl beside him.
If Thompson's s eyes had not
long ago lost their vision,
he would have seen all the
romance he was seeking in
the look of worship the
young blond god turned on
his small fiance.
Romance means you-to
me, Ruth. And all the lure
of the world is tied up in
that tiny body Of yours. -
Hey! Hey! for that re-
mark, I'll let you beat me
out to the raft. So long,
everybody"
They were off.
Don Carlos watched their
young, graceful bodies cut
ting the waves out toward
the raft.
"A lovely little trick

that she has found this in

FAMOUS GERMAN MAN
 OF D1PLOMATICS
 DIES FROM STROKE

cred one of the most active world l acc workers, and who was lead CT of the Peoples Party in the Reichstag, and former Chancellor. the most widely known member of the Presidents cabinet, recently suffered stroke of paralysis and in very short time succumbed to heart attack. His frail physi- que could no longer stand any demands put upon it.
 Following is an obituary of ' Herr Stre5seman. submitted to the Nugget by the P).
 In the chaotic condition that gripped Germany for several years after the World War, Gustav dote like oil on troubled waters.
 It was as if Stresemann stood by while others tried this policy and that without producing any thing like a semblance of order and then stepped in to thrust up on the country his own ideas and schemes. And usually he emerg- ed successful.
 What he proposed often was a risk of sacrificing his position in national affairs. His leadership, however. turned these risks into successful events and his achieve ments made of him an outstand- ing international figure.
 'The greatest postwar states man of Germany was char acterization often made of him.
 It was Stresemann who put an end to the Cuno policy of pas sive resistance in the Ruhr Val ley and in it's stead instituted policy of reconciliation with Ger many's former enemies.
 Together with Chancellor Marx he represented Germany in the London conference that led to the adoption of the Dawes plan and a year later, in Februry. 1925 he suggested the idea of secur- ity pact with France.
 He won oyer Dr. Hans Luther. then chancellor, to the advantages of non-aggression pact, and with him went to London to help draft the famous Locarno treaties.
 It was he who secured Ger many's agreement to the renuni- cation of Alsace and Lorraine and finally, he negotiated and steered Germany's entrance into the Leag- que of Nations.
 All these events, of tremendous importance in the reesta bllshment of economic order in Germany, were accomplished by Stresemann long before he was 50 years of age
 For his ability to change his political creed and adapt himself to the new order of things, brought about by changing condi- tions, he often was called the Lloyd George of Germany. How completely he could change in the course of events was indicated by his new attitude toward the re- public.
 As late as 1923, Stresemann clung to the belief in a "Volk- .skaisartu1n monarchy head ed by an emperor chosen by the people. Three years later. ad- dressing a convention of German students, he asserted his unW'll- ;ngness "to protect the republic with lis own body"
 Stresemann, twice chancellor and five times foreign minister was born in Berlin May 10, 1878 the son of restaurant keeper. He showed promise as boy and h,s father, at considerable sacri- flee, sent him through the uni versailles of Berlin and Lelpsic. He specialized in economics and political science.
 After leaving college in 1901 he became assistant to the general secretary 2 of the Association Of German Chocolate Manufacturers. Two years later he was chosen general secretary of the League of Saxon Industria lists.
