know he was running away with
fifty thousand of the banks

"How should I know? How
should II"
A change had come over York.
He walked slowly around until
he faced Enid. There was an
ominous glare in his eyes.
''It begins to dawn" he began
in q low, vibrant voice. "You
were lying to me! You knew
he was not q rich young fool,
playing around. You couldn't
be square with mel" His voice
was rising.
For Gods sake, don't be a
fool, Dick!" Her voice was plead

"Tve been q fool! I believed
you'll was blind because I
wanted to believe. You couldn't
play straight with any man.
You knew-he was coming
along, with that money-you
were going to throw me over

Only Dale, near the door,
waiting for 1t. heard the knock.
He opened and Quirk stepped in
as York'S words tumbled one on
the other.
"You don't know what you're
talking about, Dickl" She was
almost frantic.

Quirk had grabbed York and
whirled him around. Quirk was
1ivid, in q passion Of uncontrol-
liable anger.
Don't say another word like
that-to her-rll choke 1t back
into your dirty throat!"
York wrenched himself free.
Dale had crossed to Captain
Hawley's desk, and, with . re-
straining pressure on his arm,
paused the captains gesture Of
interference.
There was q strained, awful
silence. It seemed to last inter-
minably. York made the first
move. He rushed for the door
and went out. Quirk and Enid
were alone In the center Of the
room. He made q step toward
her. He made no effort to dis
guiSe his feelings toward her.

and gentle.
She smiled for him, nervous

that!
He has treated me wonder
fully, given me all sorts Of help
in my work, but never once has
said anything about liking

GUS sources that he does like
me very much. And he's never

For a long time I wouldn't go

It seems to me, my dear

impersonal relationship you
now have, and get nothing in

ance Is cold comfort to q girl
desperately in love. But, If he's
in love, and engaged, what's to
be gained by making q dead
set at him-except, perhaps, to
arouse his amusement or pity?
Engaged men are not the easy
victims Of feminine wiles that
married men are as, perhaps,
you've noticed.

est open outbreaks ever pulled
off by gangSterS?
Violent deeds by the notori-
our beer-runnerS and dope
showers and racketeerS were
commonplace. But behind them
was always a motive-profit.
II they killed for revenge, that,
too was for profit; it was the
only way they had Of maintain
ing their organizations and per-
Sonnel and enforcing their gun
made and gun-kept rights to
rich territories, to output plants,
to transportation and diStribu-
ton and monopoly.
But this was no repriSal work.
If the GorioS were shooting up
the Kinky Kings, that would be
simple enough-and who would
care? The Edgewater Kid had
been bumped off, and blood
must pay for that. But who was
this Sweetie Of his that such
goingS-on could be precipitated
over her?
She couldn't be rated as q
member Of the Goldie mob.
Such gangs have no female
workers. Rom a ntic stories
about girls working with gun
men had to do with small stick
up groups who robbed delica-
lessen stores, but not with
wealthy and serious money.truSt
like Gorio's. ..
# there could be such a thing
as living love-Story behind this
set of flaming deeds, what could
that story be?
King Killed MysteriOusly
She had been Kinky's girl
and she had left the West Side
general for a North Side private
in the Goldie ranks. If that had
been why the Kid was slaugh-
tered, well and good-it was un-
usual, but Kings temper and
staggering ego were famous
enough to explain such a breach
Of the code, such a deviation
from the policy Of conducting
intergang diplomacieS for gang
purposes and not for personal
fracaSeS.
Then King had been myster-
iously killed in very unganglike
fashion, in his own home in
stead Of on a lonely road at the
end Of ride or on a sidewalk or
by a shotgun fusilade sweeping
by him outside. Annie might
have done that. She would
know how to get into his home.
Or some one Of Kings own men
might have taken him in a
quarrel-very unlikely, but pos
sible.
Anyway, instead of the Gorios
and the Kinks thereupon start
ing into massacre each other,
came the undreamt-of raids by
Goldie's flock. First, because the
police had refused to free Po-
lack Annie, and then to free
her by force in a manner that
had never been known in Ameri-
can history.
What secret did she hold?
Or what was her hold on Co
rio-known as a man with an
eye for a pretty girl, but better
known as q monarch Of q huge
enterprise which couldn't bear
endangering by forcing a city to
fight him to death where he had
prospered in practical security?
The papers offered large re.
wards for her recapture.
The offers looked good.
Wherever she was, she was
under Goldie Gorio'S protection
and in his custody. Who would
walk into death-sure death as
long as one Of the mob remained
alive-for a few meaSly thou
sand newspaper dollars?
The chief was giving these
quandarieS and a few hundred
more some profound study. It
was very complicated. So was
his situation.

HOOVER To VISIT
STATE IN AUGUST
Proposes Trip of 5000 Miles To
Visit Glacier And Yellowstone
Parks On Way To Visit
Home On Coast

A tour of the far western national
parks during August is the summer
vacation plan of President Hoover.
Starting at the northern end of the
group, he intends to motor slowly
southwark through Glacier, Yellow
stone and Estes parks to his home at
Palo Alto, Calf. On the return trip
he would visit Yosemite and Grand
Canyon parks. The proposed trip of
more than 5000 miles would take the
president through many of the West
ern states on the most extensive tour
any chief executive has taken since
President Harding visited Alaska.
Leaving Washington, the tentative
plans would take him through Min
neapolis and st. Paul, to his first
extended stop at Glacier park, Mon
tana, where he can indulge his love
of fishing.
The president has been informed
by the national park service, officials
of which urged him to make the trip,
that adequate accommodations are
available in Glacier park for the siz-
able party which would accompany
him and week probably would be
spent there.
Yellowstone is in Wyoming and
Montana; Estes in Colorado; Yosem-
ite in California, and Grand Canyon
in Arizona.

COSTE TO ATTEMPT
OCEAN JUMP AGAIN
Frenchman Plans to Try
Flight This Spring.

New York.-Defeated once in his
attempt to fly the north Atlantic from
east to west, Capt. Dieudonne Coste
will attempt this spring to fulfill a
promise made in America in 1928
Reversing I.indbergh's route, the dar-
ing French aviator proposes to fly
from Paris to New York in a tri-mo-
tored Brequet plane, modelled after his
famous ship of last year, the Question
Mark.
Last July he started with Maurice
Bellonte in the craft, powered with a
single motor, to span the ocean, but
faced with headwinds, landed back in
France after a flight of more than
300 miles over water.
Undaunted by the failure and still
tempted by the Atlantic, they refitted
the plane, but headed toward China
and landed in Tsitsihar, Manchuria,
with q new worlds airline distance
record TO their credit. They had flown
494S.59 miles nonstop in 81 hours and
80 minutes.
Later they piloted the plane to a
new worlds distance record over a
closed circuit, flying 1887 miles in 81
hours and 80 minutes.
The promise to fly the Atlantic was
made by COste, then a lieutenant,
when here in 1928 with Joseph Lebrix
! in the midst of a round-the-world tour
in which they carried the tricoor of
France $4,000 miles.
'We do not want to go back to
Paris by plane" the aviator said, be
cause Lindbergh has already done
that; 1t would be useless repetition to
follow him. After we get back to
France we shall plan the east-to-west
fight of the north Atlantic"
