CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

WIEN Mary Della opened .i her
w eyes again, she lay very still,
trying to recall what had happened.
And then she remembered hitting
the Red Mask on the head with
the lamp, of reaching down to tear
off his mask, of falling on some
thing surprisingly soft >. There
was nothing after that.
She realized that she was lying
on the hard floor now. Was the
Red Mask still somewhere in the
dark room? What if she moved?
Would he attack her?
She held her breath and listened.
But only a bass snore from her
mothers bedroom disturbed the
silence.
Slowly she got to her feet, moved
her arm in a circle, cautiously; but
encountered nothing.
Satisfied that the Red Mask had
made his escape while she lay I'M
conscious, she CROPPED her way to
the kitchen, turned on the light,
and propped the door open. There
was nothing unusual in the always
orderly living room except that the
rug was turned back at the corner
nearest the door.
Mary Della retrieved the heavy
lamp, lying on its side in the middle
of the floor, and returned it to the
table. Connected and vested once
more with its elaborate shade, Joe's
Christmas gift threw a welcome
light over the quiet room.
However much the amazing ex-
perience had frightened Mary Della
at the time, it had left her calm.
She had lost all sense of fear and
her only concern about the Red
Mask now was his identity.
Why had he come here? Did he
know that she had written the note
to the police? Had he thought to
eliminate her as possible witness
against him if he were ever caught?
But he had had every opportunity
to kill her there by the door, and
he only had taken himself off as
fast as he could, leaving her with
additional information to give the
police.
Considering the force with which
she had brought the metal lamp
down on his head, it was a big Won
der he had been able to leave the
room at all.
She went to the door, resisted an
impulse to open it and inspect the
landing, and turned the key.

there it cast a faint glow about
him.
Mary Della raised the lamp high
above her head.
He turned slightly. There was a
dull thud, and the big form Slunped
to the floor.
Mary Della, frightened to the
point of intense nausea and dizzi-
ness, caught up the burning flash
light clunsily and turned it on the
upturned face of the motionless
man.
1t was the Red Mask!
Uncertainty she reached down to
tear the mask from the chalkwhite
face. Everything was going around
in a circle She tried to step over
his outstretched arm, felt some
thing close about her ankle, and
fell unconscious across the pros
trate figure.

Visitors were comingl party of English and
Americans had accepted Bwana's invitation to
spend month of hunting with him. Meriem
was all expectancy wondering what they would
be Like, until at last they arrived The youngest
member of the group was the Hon. Morrison
Baynes, bored with his riches and the pleasures
offered by his social contacts Nature had IA
vored him with splendi. physique and hand
some face.

Meriem was at first shy and reserved in the
presence of the strangers. Her benefactors had
seen fit to ignore mention of her strange past
and merely presented her as their ward. The
guests found her charming. She was vivacious,
sweet and unassuming and a never exhausted
storehouse of quaint and interesting jungle lore.
Morrison Baynes was attracted to her from the
first. especially as they were the only unmar-
ried couple there.

One day followed another with monotonous
sameness for Korak, living with his elephant
companions in the forest glade. But for Meriem
his Merem-a whole new world seemed to un-
fold itself daily She spoke English now instead
Of Arabic She could read and write it together
with French Whole phrases of that language
came easily to her out of some mysterious past.
Today sire thrilled over a new excitement that
was about to happen.

And Meriem, entirely unaccustomed to the
companionship Of such as Baynes, was fascinated
by him. They rode often together and his tales
of the great, gay cities with which he was
familiar filed her with wonder and admiration.
With the actual presence of the young English
man the image Of Korak became less real, al

WASHINGTON. Feb. IA grad
ual reduction Of Mexican immigra-
ton instead Of a low fixed quota
is expected to be one Of the fea-
lures Of the restrictive immigration
bill which Will be reported by the
house committee.
Congressman John G. Box Of Tex
as. ranking minority member OF the
house committee on immigration
stated that the committee IS now
engaged in ~re-drafting the Box and
Johnson bills.
We contemplate a fixed quota
for Mexico, probably 5000 70 10000.
to remain in effect a year or posi-
bly, two years before applying She
percentage quota" Box said. 1T Is
believed this arrangement will be
necessary in order to permit South
western agriculture to adjust It
self to the new conditions. However.
/ cannot say definitely what action
the committee of the congress VIII
take. nor when the bill will be re-
ported BY the committee
Harris Bill Favorable
The senate committee on immi-
grafton reported tavorably on the
Harris bill, which proposes to apply
a quota to all countries OF the west
ern hemisphere with the exception
OF Canada and New Foundland. Un-
der the terms Of this bill the Mex
lean quota would be slightly larger
than that provided in the iriglne.
Box bill. Due TO the fact that Il
discriminates against the Latin
American countries by applying q
quota 10 them while leaving the
door to Canada wide open, it Is be-
lieved the Harris bill will meet
strong opposition in the senate.
The decision Of the house COM
mittee to re-draft the proposed
quota measure is the direct result
OF representations made before thC
committee by representatives o.
Southwestern agriculture who con-
tended that enactment Of the low
quota without making provision!
whereby Southwestern agriculture
could secure labor would result ir
serious loss to thousands Of farm

D. c. INSURANCE
LAW HELD FAIR

An emphatic assertion that no
place in the United States is less
in need Of interference by legis-
lation in it's insurance laws than
the District of Columbia was
made this afternoon by J. H.
Doyle. of New York, speaking for
the National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters, when the Reid sub
committee on insurance of the
House District Committee re-
sumed hearings on the bill to
establish a new insurance code
for the District.
Doyle testified that there were
in Washington mo abuses to be
corrected and there is nothing
in the law here which prohibits
the proponents of this bill from
doing the very things they are
advocating through this proposed
new CODE"
Taken all in all. Doyle asserted,
the insurance laws in the District
of Columbia are unusually fair
both to the policy holder and the
policy maker, and he saw no
necessity whatsoever for the legiS-
lation intended in the proposed
bill which had been before Con-
gress in one form or another for
a couple of decades. The spe-
cially called afternoon session of
the committee will be resumed on
notice by Chairman Reid.
