CHAPTER xI

EVEN Helen was touched by the
IL piteous quaver with which
Mr.. Cunningham echoed Brents
words. 1t bespoke a yearning that
had little in keeping with the char
scter that had been attributed to
her grandfather. The disparity
confused her.
And in a flash her confusion was
deepened, for Mr.. Cunningham
burst suddenly into 4 laugh that
was like a slap in her face. 1t was
n1irthless, sa-donic. insulting.

gasped at the end of it. Brent
stood. frowning and still. Helen
moved to rise from her seat, but
he motioned her to remain seated.

edge Of sharp knife.
He had longed for his daughter
return, prayed for it. and now that
word of her was at hand his old
obSeSsion returned. He would not
forgive her for having disgraced
him.
Her marriage to Nellin always
had appeared to him in this light.
To refuse her forgiveness and make
Nellin suffer had become an OBJ
sessic:a with him. And it had not
entirely lefs him.

''but with you. sir, I should prefer

Mr.. Cunningham sank back in
his chair and closed his eyes. When
he opened them they set upon Helen
with a devouring eagerness that
frightened her.
Here before him stood q girl who
bore his daughters name-a girl
who might be his own flesh and
blood. And yet he did not believe.

D'Arnot was bound securely to a
great post. The women fetched pots
and water; others built a row of fires.
He watched them, half-fainting With
pain, but not once did he cry out. The
dance of death commenced to circle
around the doomed officer, moving
nearer and nearer.

Alarmed, the sailors came running to
the scene. A volley of arrows fell among
them. They answered with their rifles,
shooting toward their concealed
enemies. After terrific hand-to- hand
fight, leaving many dead on both sides,
the natives fed, taking Lieutenant
d'Arnot with them to their village.

CAMPAIGN
BASED ON
REPORTS

A concerted drive on known
gambling houses and places
which are under suspicion will
be instituted by Major Henry
q. Pratt, superintendent of
police, within a few days, fol-
lowing a complete tally on
reports submitted by precinct
commanders, which show 241
such places raided in the past
and 81 under suspicion.
The check was made In response
to Q recent general order of the
police head, who directed all cap
tains to report the number of
places raided together with the
names and occupations of persons
caught in such raids, together with
the disposition Of the cases in court
1t was not at first believed that
many gaming houses were still
operating in the places formerly
raided. but the check-up from the
several precincts indicates that
many of the gamblers. operating
handhooks and policy games, are
back at the old stands.
Location Of Suspects
OF the 241 places raided In past
months the majority of them are
reported in the First, Second, Third.
Fourth Fifth, Seventh and Eighth
precincts. The 81 now under sus-
picton of housing such unlawful
activities fall mostly within the f irst.
Second and Third precincts.
While Major Pratt declined to
state In detail Just what was his
next move will be, 1t is understood
that the old system .of placing
policemen in uniform at the en-
frances TO such establishments will
be resumed.
Attorney Given Data
All information in the hands OF
the police head has been communi-
Gated to United States Attorney
Leo A. Rover. 1t Is likely that
some plan will be worked out
between the District Attorney and
the police chief whereby the law
which provides abatement of a
nuisance will be brought into play
against the establishments in ques-
ten.

Judge Declares That New
Mexico Sunshine Should
Play No Part.
WANTS VERDICT GIVEN
SOLELY ON EVIDENCE
Explains in Charge That Former
Secretary Is Not Accused of
Conspiring With Doheny.

The bribery case of Albert B. Fall,
former Secretary of the Interior, which
has been on trial since october in
Criminal Division of the District Su-
prene Court, went to the jury at 1870
o'clock this morning.
Immediately thereafter the four wom-
en- and eight men who comprise the
jury retired to deliberate whether the
former cabinet officer shall go to jail
on the charge of accepting bribe of
100000 from Edward L. Doheny in
connection with the leasing of the naval
oil lands in California, or shall be eX-
onerated from the sole remaining in
dictment against him.
Justice William Hitz, in his charge to
the jury, suggested in his closing re-
marks that while the jury could bring
in a verdict of guilty with a recon-
mendation for mercy, that would not
constitute a part of the verdict, but
would stand as a matter Of record

FORUM TALK DEALS
WITH PUBLIC LANDS
Senator Bratton to Discuss Prob
lens of Disposal Over
Radio Tonight.

The vast public domain lands of the
West, the problem of their disposal by
the Federal Government, will be the
subject Of Senator Sam Gilbert Bratton
of New Mexico, speaker in the National
Radio Forum, arranged by The Evening
Star and sponsored by the Columbia
Broadcasting System, this evening at
1920 o'clock.
Senator Bratton, from a State in
whose boundaries there are many acres
of public lands, long has made a study
of the problem before the Federal Gov
ernment of disposing of them.
The question whether these lands
shall be ceded by the Federal to the
State governments wherein the lands lie,
has been brought before the public by
President Hoover, and 1t is to this ques-
ton that Senator Bratton will focus the
forum audience.
Senator Bratton entered the Senate
in 1925, at the age of 36. He is recog-
nized by his associates on Capitol Hill
as forceful speaker.

TRADE HELD SOUND
IN SPITE OF BREAKS
Speculation, Not Actual Con-
ditions, Seen Cause of Re-
cent Market Declines.
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.

The business structure of the United
States is stanch and sound. Condi-
tions generally are as good, if not bet
ter, than year ago, and the present
stock market depression is not an indi-
cation to the contrary.
This summarizes the opinions of the
Nations leaders in industry and
finance, as expressed in statements made
exclusively to The Star and the North
American Newspaper Alliance in re-
sponse to a tele~raphed request.
The gyrations of the market are due
to factors completely disassociated from
the business outlook of the country,
and the readjustment of the market, if
exert beneficial influence, these
leaders believe.
Statements were made by such men
as Walter C. Teagle, president of the
Standard Oil Co. of New York; A. P.
Giannini of the Bank of Italy, James
Simpson, president of Marshall Field
& Co.. Louis F. Swift, the packer;
Lewis H. Brown, president of the Johns
Manville Corporation; William G. Pot
ter, president of the Guaranty Trust
Co. of New York; Rudolph Spreckels,
the sugar king, and Robert Dollar, ship
ping leader.
Agree on Sound Basis.
Business is on a sound basis, in
suring good year ahead" said one.
THE break in the market seems to
have been caused largely by conditions
inherent in the market situation,
rather than by business" is the view
OF another Business conditions
