their party will hold the advantage,
inasmuch as the 1882 election will
be national and if the G. o. P.
carries Indiana. the eleven congress-
men probably would be Republicans.
On the other hand, if the eco
nomic situation continues unstable
and the Hoover administration fails,
the state may go Democratic and
all of that party's candidates for
congress may be elected.
The organization disorders which
have caused Marion, Vigo and VAN
derburg county Republican leaders
to view the future as ominous, have
spread to the stronghold of the Re-
publican party in Lake county.
Members of the Harrison Club of
Gary, a Republican organization,
this week started a fight on the
county central organization by
adopting six resolutions, setting
forth:
l. Unalterable opposition to cleo
ton of any official who has proved
himself incompetent or dishonest
in handling the affairs of Lake
county.
2. That a general change in such
officials is not only in the interests
of citizens, but of the party.
Hit Fee System
8 That only candidates for leg
islature who will pledge themselves
to enact. statute abolishing the
fee system receive support.
4. That where a public Office is
burdensome and improbable, it is
unfair to impose its duties con-
tinuouSly upon one individual.
5. That where an Office is found
to be profitable, it should not be
monopolized indefinitely by one
person.
6. That it will stand for new
deal with a clean deck and
pledges support only to candidates
whose efficiency readily is apparent
and whose integrity is above ques-
ton
This code would do much to clean
up organizations in any county

Mayors to Meet
Democratic activities in the state
will receive added impetus when
mayors from the sixty cities which
went Democratic in the fall, meet
at Kokomo to attend the annual
Democratic banquet there, Tuesday.
Paul V. McNutt, former national

Arthur L. Gilliom, former at

believed to be the injection of the

His letter to Eliza Rogers, Repub-

A Sob Story

The adage says it's no use
crying over split milk, but
when Pasquel Ferarro dropped
a sack Of money Friday
the entire Office force of the
Citizens Gas Company wept
about it.
Pasquel. who twice daily car
ries his firms deposits to the
bank, protects them against
robbery with a tear gas bomb,
designed to explode if the bag
be dropped.
In the gas company Office
Pasquel fumbled the sack, and
it crashed To the floor. Gas
drove employees and a few GUS
mothers into the streets. 1t was
several hours before ventilation
rendered the Offices again hab-
liable.

I can see well enough. But if you
do see Mr.. Dick. wish you would
tell him I very much want to see
him before turn in"
The butler, with a Every we'll,
sir" returned to his work, and Dun
dee threaded his way through the
over-furnished, dimly lit drawing
room. He was just about to step
out into the hall when a faint,
muff1ed cough warned him that
some one was descending the stairs.
Not relishing the idea of again
explaining his presence on the dark
ened lower floor, he shrank back
against the heavy silk brocade
hangings, then, because he was a
detective, and because that active
sixth sense of his warned him that
the person stealing down the stairs
was as anxious to be unobserved
as he was himself, he quite shame
lessly peeped.
ut was Clorinda Berkeley. Even
n in the dim light her tall slender
body was unmistakable. And she
was going out, stealing out, for
she was wearing, over the wine-red
velvet evening dress, cape of gold
metal cloth, trimmed with dark fur.
His eyes quite accustomed by now
to the dim light, Dundee could even
distinguish the modernistic pattern
of the batik silk scarf she was pull
ing nervously through her fingers
as she tiptoed down the last steps
of the stairs.
He waited, scarcely breathing,
for he thought she must pass very
close to him on her way to the
front door. But she did not leave
by that door.
"She rounded the stairs, listened
for a moment to the Subdued clash
of voices from within the library,
then tiptoed down the hall toward
the backstairs regions.
Dundee heard the door open very
softly, did not hear it close. APP
parently Clorinda was guarding her
return, that it might be as noise
less as possible.
After a minute Of hesitation,
Dundee followed her to the door,
and listened. Very family came the
sound of a chain being ratified, then
still more family the sound of a
bolt being shot back. Clorinda had
left the house by the back door,
which Wicket had already made
fast for the night.
SO Dick Berkeley was not the
only member of that family who
stole out to keep secret appoint
ments! Whom was Clorinda meet
ing? Seymour Crosby? After all,
they were engaged to be married,
and their first evening together
after weeks of separation had not
been a signal success. But-they
had not looked upon each other as
lovers ardently desiring to be alone.
Half an hour later-a quarter to
12-when Dundee had had tepid
bath to induce sleep, young Dick,
at least, had not returned from his
rendezvous.
Dundee shrugged YEARLY as he
got into bed Apparently the lovely
little Doris had been quite willing
to meet her mistress son clandes-
timely in spite of her seeming re-
luctance.
Still-She certainly hadn't looked
like that kind of a girl" And
hadn't Mrs. Lambert told Crosby
that Doris was very happy in her
engagement to Arnold, the chauf-
feur?
The next questions Dundee asked
were spoken aloud: who's there?
What is it?"
1t was broad daylight and some
one was pounding on his door and
calling his name.

BERLIN, March because these
dispatches dealing with Russian af-
fairs have been concerned largely
with the religious question, it should
not be assumed that the Soyiets are
so occupied with their anti-religious
campaign that they have no time to
pursue other phases in the develop
ment Of their revolutionary pro-
gram.
The fact is that the religious ques-
ton occupies a comparatively small
part of their attention and pro-
vides one Of the least of their
manifold activities.
Probably few persons in the outer
world appreciate that the Soviet
government already is the biggest
single business enterprise in history,

the manufacturing, mining, buying,
selling, transportation, banking, i'm
porting and exporting for nation

sixth Of the earth's surface.

It Is a super trust such as the
world never before has seen. Only

Of private trade is being restricted
further day by day.
Just now this Goliath of trusts
is engaged in a breath-taking
scheme of business expansion in
volving increases in every trade and
industry and every department of
commercial and cultural life, in
Guiding education, exploration. art,

Production during the first year,
scheduled to increase by 81 per cent,
actually increased "a per cent.
This huge plan for industrial ex-
pansion affords distinct advan-
tage to outside enterprise.

The principal needs of the Soviet
from abroad, in pursuit of this in

structiOn OF new plants, and the

In both these respects, the United

CHAPTER FIVE

TINE room to which Dundee had
l. been assigned was on the third
floor of the Berkeley mansion. Dick
Berkeley, ushering him into it upon
his arrival that Friday evening,
had explained:
Nobody but the servants and me
up here. I chose my quarters for
privacy. Sorry, but you'll have to
use my bath, old man. our room
is really what Mother calls my
'den,' but the couch is comfortable.
Mother wanted you to have one
Of the lordly guest chambers on
the second floor, but thought you
might enjoy a little bachelor peace
and quiet. The bathrooms on the
east, extending the length of the
house; otherwise there's nothing
clear across the front but my rooms.
IT don't think you'll mind the
servants. They turn in fairly early,
all except old Wicket, the butler,
and use the backstairs."
Now, as Dundee plodded rather
YEARLY up the winding marble
staircase, his mind was a tumble
of half-formed foreboding of he
knew not what, snatches of strange
conversation, distorted pictures.
A queer, mad evening. A night
mare reaching its crescendo in that
terrible moment when Mrs. Berke-
ley'S broad palm had left its mark
upon Gigi'S cheek. Funny, brazen,
impudent little Gigi! But she had
not deserved that!
His hand, slipping along the cold
marble balustrade, suddenly en-
countered something soft and liv-
ing and warm. Startled, he looked
down as little brown fingers curled
about his.
"Ciqi" he whispered, and bent
over to stare at the forlorn little
figure in anonymously gay paja-
mas, crouching against the stair
