of the unattractive old man who lived
and operated in the sinister atmosphere
of ssh Portman square.
She had not seen Dick Shannon for
two days and she harbored wholly
unjustifiable grievance against nm,

number. and a call. as she well knew,
would bring him Immediately. once
or twice she had taken up the instru-
ment, hesitated with the receiver in her
hand, and put it down again.
On one matter she had reached de-
cision. Her second interview with Mr..
Malpas was due that night, and she
would make an end Of their associa-
ton. Morning after morning his
budget had arrived. had been copied
and returned to him-she had even
carried the letter back to Portman
square in the hope Of seeing him before
the hour of the interview, but though
she had knocked no reply had come,
and she had, perforce, pushed the let

1t thud into the steel letter box.
On the afternoon that longer made
his reluctant journey to Paris she
went for her favorite walk. Green Park
on a cold January afternoon was some
thing of a desert The ponds were
frozen, save near the edges, where the
parkkeepers had broken the ice for the
benefit of the winged creatures that
live in the little islands and In the
shelter of the bush-grown banks. The
branches of the trees were bare, and
only the dull green of laurels and holly
bushes remained to justify the parks

She walked briskly past the kiosk,
following the path that skirts the lake,
and came eventually to the footbridge
which spans the water. A chill north
wind was blowing: the blue sky was
flecked by hurrying clouds; snow was
coming-she detected the Undesirable
smell of 1t.
She was half way across the bridge
when heavy gust of wind half turned
her, and she decided that this was no
day for pedestrian exercise. Pushing
down the skirts that the wind had
raised and with one hand gripping her
hat she turned and walked back the
way she had come. Ahead Of her she
saw a man strolling, thickset saun-
terer who twirled walking stick and
the scent of whose cigar reached her
long before she came up with and
passed him. A wider sweep Of the
twirling stick almost struck her, and,

but here his first diagnosis was to be
borne out by subsequent inquiry.
The news came to Dick Shannon by
accident, and beyond the interest which
the name of Slick Smith aroused. he
saw nothing in the mStter which called
for his personal interference till the
officer in charge of tho case came to
make inquiries about Smith.
Eyes, know him; he's an American
crook We have nothing on him here
and he has no English record. Who
was the woman?"
Unknown, so far as We can trace"
Nothing in her clothes or handbag
to identify her?"
Nothing. 1t looks like a suicide.
This is the second we've had in Green
Park since Christmas"
That night at dinner. Audrey, glanc-
ing through the evening paper, saw a
three-line paragraph:
1.-THE body of All unknown woman
was found in Green Park this after
noon. 1t is believed that she committed
suicide by poisoning"
She was dead! Audrey went cold at
this confirmation of her private fears
How dreadful! 1t must have been very
quick, for the woman had not been
there when she had passed along the
footpath minute or two before Who
was she? Audrey was certain she had
seen her somewhere.
And then with a gasp she remem-
bered. 1t was the woman that she had
seen a week before, the drunken virago
who was hammering at Lacy Marshalt's
door,
Audrey left her dinner unfinished and
went to the telephone. Here, at any
rate, was an excuse for talking to Dick
Shannon. The pleasure in his voice
when he answered her gave her, for
some reason, warm little feeling of
happiness.
"Where have you been? I was ex-
pecting you to call me up. Is anything
wrong?"
The last words were in more anx-
ious tone.
Nothing. I saw in the paper to-
night that a woman had been found
dead in the park. I saw her. Capt
Shannon mean I was there when
she was found, and think I know her.
There was pause.
I'll come along now" said Dick.

FROM ANT HILLS TO MOUNTAINS

During the last decade of our
growth and progress there has
sprung into existence a new
phase of the policy embodied in
the slogan, Support your home
industries and your home town. :"
From the strictly provincial
application of that principle 10
the end that citizens shall pa
tronize and boost only their own
community, has come the broad
er policy of community develop
ment whereby small cities con.
centrate on a. large progressive
within their midst and boost it.
Where the maximum of progress
is reached by any major city,
there is circle of smaller com
munities about it whose enthusi.
asm and backing of parent
city amounts almost to passion
James w. Elliott, of the Los
Angeles Stock Exchange, notes
as an example the growth of
principle in Southern California
and the Southwest. Although
each city in that region has it's
own interests and pursues them
zealously, in q majority OF cases
the small towns contribute un.
stintingly towards boosting Los
Angeles. That city has had
climate, man-made harbor and
many natural advantages to
make it fourth city in size in the
nation; but in the same analysis
every city within its Hinter!and
counts the Los Angeles Harbor
as it's harbor, Los Angeles
growth as its growth.
The policy is q worthy one.
Various adaptations of it will be
found throughout the nation.
The small towns are situated
like a huge fan about all large
! cities. Ant hills become noun
tains, the work of millions OF
people, each contributing to the
! other and each reaping common
benefits. Nor are the smaller
! towns the only contributors. Ii

cause.
Reese makes no secret of his
belief that the rebel leaders are
men OF. principle, with q real be
lief in the cause which they fos
ter. In his letter to Hoover he
outlined this belief. saying in,
effect that Governor Topete and
his men were as patriotic 'Mexi
cans in their rebellion as Wash
ington had been in his revolt
against the English rule.
One instance cited by Reese
pointed out some of the reasons
for the stand taken by the So
nora governor.
Three million pesos were col.
lected as q gasoline tax by the
Sonora government. A large
percent of it was to be used in
carrying out a program Of high
way building with the borders
of the state. tt was taken to
Mexico City and when Topete
asked for the share due his state
be was refused. The Gales Gil
government, said Reese. declar
ed the money would be all used
| in and about Mexico City and
that it would be twenty years
before the road program in So
| nora could be carried out"
This, said the engineer, is one
phase of the background of the
revolution. He also declares
the religious issue is a mere by.
product of the revolt, having
nothing to do with the real issue
at stake. The rule of Gales is
the object in view from the stand
point of the revolutionary party,
which, in the Altar, as in other
parts of Mexico, has proclaimed
itself in opposition to the poll
cies of the present war lord of
the Mexican government.
| Reese's home is in Altar. For
the past seven years all of his
work has been in that region.
He intends to return there today
and continue his work which is
prospecting and mine scouting.
The United Eastern company,
with which be is associated docs
the financing and development
of the properties he locates. he
says. 10 other respects he is q
free lance.
One phase of his letter to Pre-
sident Hoover was typical of the
life led by the engineer. 1t told
the president that while just past
so years of age, Reese bad cast
his first vote for president of the
United States ia the last election
and that be had voted for Hoov.
