WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
In an effort to head off
criticism at his sending of
more marines into Haiti,
while at the same time to
actually have them handy,
Hoover today diverted The
airplane carrier Wright"
from POrt-au-Prince to the
U. S. naval base at Guam
tanamo Bay, Cuba. This is
only $50 miles from Haiti,
and while the State Depart
ment 'forgets" to mention it,
planes from the Wright"
could drop bombs in Haiti
within two hours, and the
Wright" with all the ma
rines could be in Haiti with
in "a hours.

TOday's True
Story

IN AN HEALY turned a
semaphore.
That's easy in the
saying, but it wasn't so easy
in the doing, not at the
corner where Dan turned
his, in a never-ending task
of trying to keep truck from
climbing the rear ends of
automobiles. He had been
on traffic duty for two
years, now, and he had plenty
Of it. He saw wheels and
rearing horses in his sleep
and between frantic blasts
on his whistle he found time
to curse the man who in
vented the automobile.
Dan was what is known
as "easy going" which may
have been the reason why
the Inspector kept him on
duty at the hardest corner
in town. 1t was seldom
that exasperation\ got the
best of his usual good ma
ture and caused him to
thrust out his clean shaven
chin and follow it with a
ticket. y Dan believed that
a soft word went farther
and did more than a scowl
or a tongue lashing.
But not always. There are
times when only plain
words, as only an Irish po-
liceman can voice them, will
do the work that has to be
done. And this was such a
time.
''That's the tenth time
she has done that in the last
month, = Dan muttered to
himself. Then a blast on his
whistle and he waved a mo-
torist toward the curb. He
walked over to the slowing
car and tried not to realize
that the girl in it was the
prettiest girl he had ever
seen.
Look here, y he said.

to the foot of the stairway.
Jimmy looked serious for
a moment. 'Say, Nysa," !" he
said, ~ oughta go up with
you. This Stills is a bad guy.
Nysa gazed at him with
shining eyes, She put a hand
ON his arm. Jimmy" she
said with sudden resolution,
II appreciate all you're
doing for me. I've always
told you / never would-get
married. But if I get Rose
safely home, I'll-Ill change
my mind, Jimmy"
"You Wilt" exclaimed
Jimmy joyfully. The next
instant she flew up the
stairs.
Nysa did not stop to
knock at the door of room
5. She walked right in. SiIls
sat at a table with q gang
ster opposite him.
Where's my sisteri" de-
manded Nysa, confronting
them. Sills winked at his
pal and wagged his head.
The pal got up and went
out. Where's my sisteri"
Nysa asked again.
"Sit down." !" leered Sills.
The Washington times., 1929-07-13

and rolled UP the graveled
roadway, Sills's car, as she
had expected, was parked
on one side Of the big, ramb-
ling wooden structure.
Jimmy helped Nysa out.
"Well, what's on. the pro-.
grant" he asked with
grin. What do you want
me to dot"
"Listen, Jimmy. Rose had
a date here with Diamond :
Sills. I want to get her and
take her home. And I don't
care how / do it. She s only
a kid, Jimmy. She's dazzled
because that bird has money

She pushed her hair out
Of her eyes with a plump
hand and darted back to
the other room. Nancy
leaned over and touched the
baby's soft cheek. He stared
at her with solemn, unblink-
ing eyes, Gingerly she
patted a curled pink foot
escaping from the blanket,
and he, opened his mouth
and howled.

would call her and apologize
for having been so hasty.

Sills, She halted a moment
to look across at it frown-
ingly. Then she went on.
Tired and heartsore, Nysa
mounted the two flights of
stairs to her rooms. She let
herself in, threw off her hat
and sat down a moment to
think. Her appetite was
gone. But at last she decided
to make a cup Of tea. She
picked up a book-one of
Rose 's-from the table as
she cleared it to spread a
cloth. A paper fell to the
floor.
Nysa picked it up. 1t was
a note, addressed to Rose.
She unfolded, read it:
I'm pick you up in the
bus this eve and we III breeze :

III take your girl pal if

The note was signed by

Dan wondered about it
as he walked the shaded
streets twirling his stick as
only an Irish policeman can
twirl such weapon.
He wondered who had
been responsible for it, why
headquarters had suddenly
yanked him off downtown
traffic and sent him out
here. As if in answer to his
thought a voice spoke:

Dan turned. He hadn't

Nysa ran out to the
street. The daylight was
fading, but she still could
see Sills' car, standing at
the curb. Somebody was
getting into it, but she could
not see VINO II was from
where she stood.
An instant later Sills him
self came out of nearby
pooroom and jumped into
the machine. Nysa looked
down the street. Jimmy s
and Dams cars were not in
sight. She started toward
Sill's car, but had taken
only a few steps when it
rolled away to the north.

AS he spoke Dan looked
everywhere except into her
eyes. he knew, however,
that she was laughing at him
and p dull flush spread over
his face, the same flush that
had always been there be-
fore when he noted her
little car flashing past his
semaphore.
"You give me ticket and
I'll tear it up"
The girl was speaking and
Dan, hardly believing he had,
heard rightly, looked up to
find that the laugh had left
her face.
"You'll do WHAT" he
asked, almost mechanically.
"I'll tear it up. And I'll
have you transferred, too.
I used to think you were
nice, but now l don't think
you re nice at all. -

Nysa stepped back in alarm.

and put himself between her
and the door. Where's my

Nysa.

noise, = commanded Stills, II

Nysa cried out as he made
another move toward her.
The door was flung open
and Jimmy stood there.
Find heri" Jimmy asked.
Nysa shook her head.
Beat it!" snarled Stills
as Jimmy came into the
room. Jimmy only grinned
at him. Sills hand started
toward bis pocket but
Jimmy was upon him before
he could draw a gun. The
battle was short, sharp and
decisive.

sister, Rose, in their
two room apartment
on the middle East Side.
Nysa felt an almost parental
responsibility for the girl
who was but three years
her Junior. She had heard
Of Rose s filtration with
Diamond" Sills. And Nysa
was worried.
Rose, y she began, II
wish you'd cut out going
with Sills. Jimmy Kelly was
telling me about him today.
He's no company for you,
Rose. -
Rose, blonde and blue-eyed,
pretty enough to make any
young man turn to look at
her, bridled. What S: Jimmy
Kelly got to do with my af-
fairsf" she asked militantly.
Now, look Rose, I'm
only telling you for your
own good. This Stills is a
bad egg. Bootlegging and
all that. Never does an
honest days work, Why, if
you married him you might
be a widow in a week. He's
one of those birds that's
apt to be taken for a ride
any time. y
"And W hos Jimmy

PLY. "a would-be-prize-
fighter. / don't see him do
ing an honest days work,
as you call it. =
"Well, he does," +" defended
Nysa. Hes on the way to
a championship and he
ain t afraid to work either. :"
Rose shifted. "I'll thank
him to keep his fingers out
of my affairs. I'll go with
whom I choose. Diamond
Sills can buy and sell him
any time. ~
well, let's have supper,
anyway, said Nysa with a
sigh. "I'm only looking out
for you the best I can,
Rose" /"
They sat down at the
small table. Nysa ate a
few moments in silence, but
could not drop the subject.
ANYWAY, Rose, :" she per-
sisted, "promise me you
won't go out to Daisy Inn
with him, if he asks YOU"
Rose did not answer.
Nysa sighed again.
The following afternoon,
as she sat at her desk in the
Novelty works, Nysa was
called to the phone. 1t was
Rose calling. IT won't be
home to supper, /" she said
hurriedly. "I'm off early.
Maybe I'll go out with
Peggy awhile. Thought I'd
let you know SOS you
wouldn't worry. y
Nysa s heart beat wildly.
She didn't like the message
or the hurried way it was
given. Rose, Rose, = she
called, ''you'r not going
out with him, are you
But the click of the
instrument told that Rose
had hung up. Nysa went dis
consolately back to her work,
filled with foroodings.
YEARLY she came along
the street toward home three
hours later. In front of
Palati's s place on the corner,
two blocks above, she saw
the best looking car of the
The Washington times., 1929-07-13

pins dangled from her
breast.

gaily as Nancy left the mare

neighbor, and nothing was v
1t was Mrs. McKimmons,
wife Of the ranger who
worked under Roger. She
had just this minute heard
from Mrs. Ackerman, the
storekeeper's wife, that Mr..
Decatur was married. She ID
run right over, only the
baby was too heavy to carry
and
''You mean you're near

"Well, it's about q mile.
We re at the lookout on the
peak. You just follow the
trail from your house. 1t
isn't a bad walk. Or if Mr..
Decatur's horse is there"
Rogers horse, a rangy
mare with q rowing disposi-
tion, was at the moment
nibbling some dry grass near
the front door. Nancy had
not ridden her yet, neither
had she ever saddled a horse.
"Iu come-I1l be right
over!" she promised.
Maggie, the mare, was
just ambling off for parts
unknown when Nancy got
to the door and with the
aid of a carrot and a fair
imitation of Rogers whis-
tie, succeeded in Turing her
back.
The saddle was heavy,
heavier than she had dreamed
a saddle could be, but. she
managed to get it on Mag
gle $ back, and to cinch 1T
after a fashion. For several
moments Maggie. refused to
have anything to do with
the bit. just when Nancy
was about to give up she
took it docilely, and with
a groan Of thanksgiving
Nancy dashed back into the
house and scrambled into
her riding things.
Only a mile, Mrs. McKim-
mons had said. It seemed
like ten to Nancy. The
horse had a disconcerting
habit of suddenly standing
stockstill and staring into
the brush as if she had
glimpsed a grizzly or heard
a rattler. When Nancy
urged her on she gave a con-
vulsive shudderr and tried to
turn her head to stare at her
rider as >if to say, VERY
well, if you insist. But it
is against my better judg-
ment.
The trail was narrow and
at some points, where it
wound around boulders and
over slippery shale, very
steep. At places like this
the pensive Maggie was
moved to halt and stare into
space as if contemplating
suicide. Pride kept Nancy
from tying her to a bush
and continuing the rest Of
the way on foot, but it was
a real relief when the Nc
Kimmons cabin came into
view and she saw her hos
tess waiting for her at the
open door.
Helen McKimmons was a
fresh looking girl with
anock of straight taffy-col-
ored hair and guileless gray
eyes. She wore a faded

Rolls inside Ford Sedan.


E. w. Oylear came luckily out Of
an automobile accident the first OF
the week when returning from TAX
ing load Of fire fighters up north.
He was hurrying home to help further
in the fight against the fires and was
hitting up rather fast pace on the
fine straight highway about mile
north Of the Warland ranger station,
when his car, a Ford sedan, struck a
rock that either had been left in the
road by someone or had rolled onto
the highway. Anyway, the car began
TO turn somersaults and managed to
give three or four complete flops, end
over end, before it came to rest about
rs feet down the grade toward the
river. Oylear was able to extricate
himself from the wreck, escaping with
only minor bruises. He said, however,
that the iack-out of the back seat
took advantage Of the opportunity to
hit him back of the ear. The top Of
the car was rather badly damaged,
but tKe front axle and wheels and the
front frame projection suffered the
worst damage.
