York bowed and left the
cabin. Captain Hawley did not
appear entirely pleased, but
before he could speak Dale ad-
dressed Mr.. Quirk.
"Mr. Quirk, I'd like you to
keep your eye on York. I'm
sure he'll lead us to the lady

Quirk hesitated. He found 1t
hard to frame his words. Finally
he turned with a trace Of alb
jectness to Captain Hawley.
IF I may make a request,
sir-it's an obnoxious duty.
Might I be excused?"
What is this, Mr.. Quirk?
Aren't we running into enough

Quirk saluted and hastily de-
parted. The Captain resented

Dale sat down on the edge
Of the captains desk. He picked
up a pencil and toyed with it
as he spoke.
We've already spoken with
Mr.. Schenck-and learned Of
last nights incidents in Blair's
stateroom. About what time
was it that you went on deck
last night-do you recall?"

"You remained on deck"
"We'd been drinking a little.
I wasn't feeling quite myself.
I'd hardly been on deck five
minutes before I went to sleep.
That's all remember until Mr..

Dale considered a moment be-
fore putting the next question.

II do. We had a brawl and
carried on like men do in

able accusation but it's
rather unsporting to talk about
some one who's dead"
Now came an even more dif.
ficult question.

telling us who the lady WASP"
I'D rather not, Mr.. Dale, If
it isn't necessary"
"It's not absolutely necessary
that you tell us. but 1t may

That's It'll A message. We

But no copy was found. The

At Dale's suggestion, q mes

have been sent to the Falcon

While they waited for the

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
You see, I did believe q
couple Of young men at differ.
ent times and they made 0
fool Of me. so now ! don't be-
lieve in any Of them. Lately
I've learned to like a certain
young man a great deal, but
told him when he got tender
that all men hand you an airy
line, and I didn't believe him
any more than I did the rest
Of the lollypop-passers. He
looked as il I had stabbed him
and said he wasn't that kind.
Since then he hasn't called me
up and is very distant when I
meet him on the street.
UNHAPPY ALINE.
(Answer). Don't take such a
gloomy view Of this affair, my
dear Aline, granted that the
young man was in earnest, If he
took your little jest about lolly-
pop-passing too seriously, he is
probably q bit priggiSh, and
you'd have broken with him
sooner or later anyway. II you
feel you went q little too far
and his feelings are hurt, write
him O note and ask him to come
to see you; then tell him you
were just joking when you
handed out that one about the
penny candy.

who go through life demanding

Don't encourage your l1us-

It is not being done In New
York any more, because q Judge
has announced that 1t Is against
the law.
OF course. there are tense
moments, after q man cells his
wife that her mullins win kiA
him, when she feels like pass
ing him the whole plate and
saying, Take another. Take
two."
And there are bitter pauses;
after q Sunday morning quar-
rel, in which his wife has threat
ened to lend It all, when q
man would cheerfully run UP
stairs and get her the carbolic
acid.
Many q little woman would
lay the carving-knife out handy
for the cold-hearted brute"
who declares that II she doesn't
cut out nagging him for q new
hat, he'll cut his throat.
And many an otherwise ten
der-hearted husband has felt
like opening the door Of the
car, and letting his wife Jump
out, after an afternoon Of Tin
remitting back-seat driving.
After all, the person who
threatens to commit suicide. so
seldom lives up to his prom
iSes.
When a husband bangs out
of the door in the morning
with the threat never to re-
turn, 1t is almost as much Of a
shock as Q relief, to the wife
who has been crying all day, to
have him come In cheerfully
whistling, instead Of on a
stretcher.
And, when a wife rushes
tragically out of the house,
with the vow that she can't
stand life another minute, it's
a blow to the husband who
grabs his hat and runs frantical-
~ after her. to find her buying
a new compact at the corner

threats are startling; but after

Only a Few Days Left
for Registration

The Workers School, central
school of the Communist Party, is
already located at its new head
quarters at "a E. 18th ST., near
University Pl. Registration is 60
ing on now on the 9th floor of the
new Workers Center at the above
address, 18th st. side.
Only a short time is left for
workers to register in the many
vitality important courses. Due to
the large number of workers who
have not had an opportunity OF
registerig as yet, registrations will
be extended several days, instead of
closing on the Goth, as originally
planned. Classes, however, are rap
idly filling up. Workers are adj
yised to register without delay.
It is especially important for the
C. P. units to speed-up the selec-
ton of suitable comrades for the
functionaries courses. The training
of Party functionaries is the GEN.
trail aim of the Workers School.
The revolutionary unions, where
the lack of suffiient funtionary
adres is most acute, must show
