Mary relaxed happily against the
pillows and listened, with only half
her mind attentive to what Dirk
was saying.
He looked down at her, smiling
Too bad" he said. HE was so
anxious to meet you, too"
Meet me?" Mary sat up.
Sure, you. Ethel took me aside
and told me. Connie never would
have peeped. 1t made her furious,
naturally. Ethel said when she
came to your name on the guest

Mary Hardness whose picture he
had seen in the paper.
"She said you were, and what
about it, and he began to kiss his
fingers to the ceiling and exclaim,
All, ravishing! Charmantl and all
that. And right away he said he'd
come.
Burned Ethel up, but she was
glad to get him on any terms" He
grinned down at her teasingIy.
you've got quite rep, kidd"
Humanity, Mary smiled. 1t was
rather delicious revenge to have
had that happen to Connie. But
then, Connie had had her revenge
by asking Dirk. The score was
even.
She didn't ask me-" Mary MUIR
INJURED, puzzled. Was that why?"
"Well-no," Dirk flushed. Then
he burst out. What could I say?
That we'd had fight? I told her
you'd gone to Hot Springs for a
few days to rest. That was when
she asked me to fill in"
He looked at her apologetically
Takes somebody with a strong con-
stitution to get along with Ethel.
She has to be slugged every so often
to keep her in her place."
Mary laughed. "And you're the
brute to do it," she agreed. But
who was this other chap?" Some
how the episode did not ring en-
tirely true something about it
had set her to wondering.
She looked at him with earnestly
puckered brow. "It couldn't have
gotten out about the new will leav-
ing the Jupiter money to me, could
it?"
Dirk's scornful gesture didn't en-
tirely reasSure her.
when was this invitation given,
Friday?" Mary pursued thought
fully. De Iona. De Iona. Where
had she heard the name? THE
Miss Hardness whose picture he had
seen in the papers" That must
have been those awful Friday stories
about her and the Jupiter necklace.
Suddenly she knew De Iona
was the name given in the racing
papers as the owner of The Fly's
horse, 10 Mosca! Could it be the
same man? Was De Iona The
Fly?

MARY was convinced beyond any
1V1 doubt that the Count Enrique
DE Iona, with whom Ethel was
infatuated, was The Fly. And Cor
nelia Tabor barely had missed hav-
ing him in her house as a week
end guest.
1t was frightful, and it was
1aughable. But most of all it opened
up a new view of The Fly and his
methods. So that was his game
tricking silly society girls with the
old, old title racket
Whether his name really was De
Iona did not matter; probably it
was an alias. If so, it was a new
one, for Bowen had searched police
files for a record of man by that
name and found nothing.
Also-and this gave her renewed
heart for the chase-it probably was
the name he would continue to use

almost a groan.
1T was bad taste, but need it.

perhaps-but not now, surely"
Now, If necessary. Whenever I
must" She felt as if she must
burst into uncomfortable laughter.
Dirk" she said, this is the most
ridiculous thing I ever heard of.
It's such a little thing to cause
such big rumpus.
And what's wrong with the Ju-
piter money? Don't you want me
to have it?"

HE stopped the police investiga-

that? Because it threatened you, or
himself? I don't know. I wish to
God I did!
THAT wild kid brother of yours
and his threats when Jupiter re-
fused him money made a handy peg
to hang the murder on. Maybe he
really did it. Maybe he only knew
who did it.!
Eddie was killed purpoSely, per-

shut him up. You want me to
think some mysterious gunman was
responsible for it, for the first muir

der why don't fall in with your
fantastic tale!
"A LOrimOr car killed Eddie;
Lorimor car carried the murderer
to and away from the house, after
Mrs. Jupiter was killed. Whose
Lorimor car? Why not Jupiter's?"
"Jupiter's?" Mary asked, stupidity.
"His, yes! You didn't know he
owned Lorimor car, did you? Well,
he does"
ooh, Dirk" Mary wrung her
hands, chow can you say such things

said or done a single thing

ed, land neither do you. How long

months.

a false move would repel you"

Fortunately for Tarzan there were but three
of them and they we're still very young. though
their teeth were sharp and their jaws strong.
Striking quickly to right and left with his
blade. he scrambled from the nest with only a
few minor cuts and scratches upon his legs.
Lying partially over the edge of the spire was
the body OF the dead thipdar. Tarzan gave it
a final shove and watched it as it fell three
hundred feet to the rocks below.

Lying fiat on his belly he looked over the
edge. He swung slowly around the lofty aere
examining the walls Of the spire with minute
attention to every detail. Again and again he
crept cautiously around the edge until he had
printed on his memory every projection and
crevice and possible hanGnold that he could
see from below And then he made his deci-
sion, though he knew it held but a chance in
a million. Of succeeding.

ANOTHER SHIPMENT IF NUKA BAY ORE IS
 ENROUTE SHELTERS

Capt. Pete Sather brought his staunch vessel, the Rolph III, into port Saturday afternoon from Nuka Bay. Captain Sather brought MT. and Mrs. Mike Deegan in from the Nuka Bay country where they have been for some time on the Mike Deegan and Fred Johnson quartz property. Eighteen tons of ore were also brought in from the mining camp, 13 tons from the Bab- cock and Downey mine and five from the Deegan-Johnson holdings The ore is to be shipped to Out side smelters.
 Captain Sather said that owing to the weather conditions he was able to pick up the ore at the Babcock and Downey mine this time of the year as the ice had been cleared out of that bay. According to MT. Sather, he may not be able to go into there now as the wind may have changed and swept the ice back into the bay.
 A quantity of Christmas mer- chandise was to be taken out to the various Nuka Bay residents on the Rolph which was scheduled to depart this afternoon but found it was unable to leave because wea- ther conditions did not permit the unloading of the cargo of ore to- day. It is expected that the Rolph will get away as soon as the wea- ther moderates so that the ore can be unloaded.

IT'S TIME TO BATTLE.

It is quite evident the Bureau of Public Roads does not wish to build the Missing Link" road either next year or at any time in the near fu- ture if such action can possibly be avoided. The Bureaus policy, as in the past, will be to construct roads where they want to build them; in remote unsettled areas with no connection with major systems.
 Each year Seward and the resi- dents along the route of the long hoped for proposed Seward Moose Pass road have listened to a lot of banana oil" about more surveys, investigations, ad infinitum, until they are sick of it. The time for diplomacy has passed!
 Past observations brings to mind few projects have been secured To- cally until the stink pots" were touched off and everything but the cuspidors hurled This is regret table but a fact.
 In the meantime Seward cannot lose thing by talking plain Eng fish, straight from the shoulder and to the point. Seward will never accomplish anything by being meek and carrying on like gentle men.
 Seward has always stood alone, constantly fighting for every prof. ect and every step forward in the march of progress.
 Now is the time to throw aside the ridiculous role of suave, diplom- acy and fight. We got the reputa- tion of being g. bunch of hogs, skunks or something like that, so
