life "Now know! over at Miss Barbara's, that was fti"
 Jacks face wore a surprised look when he turned from the telephone.
 If there is masquerade dance at Barbara's Sybil planned 1t to cover up her tracks in case the maids found the clothes in her room. But listen, Sue! She didn't know that she was going to need a disguise tonight un- til the last minute. Whoever led her on this chase didn't notify her in advance, that's a cinch. Then she had to throw us off some other trail. Sybil Lester I'll bet, my wisdom teeth, was the gas man"
 Sue nodded. She heard voices in the adjoining room, and when Sarah and Corrinne came out, sleepy-eyed, wrapped up in gay silken kimonos, she let Jack tell them of the ad- venture.
 "Sybil knows all about this frame up," Sarah agreed. "Of course she was the gas man. And she used the masquerade as an excuse for being seen in mems clothing if anything ever happened. Why not call up Bar bara's and see if there it party?"
 Jack took down the receiver again and called the number. Sue noticed with a queer little pain tightening around her heart that he still re- membered the number, and didn't open the telephone directory. But then. she told herself, Loyalty, she still knew Jimmy's number. and Jim my was as far removed from her as though he were thrice around the world.
 Could you tell me. please, of the masquerade dance that Barbara is giving Is scheduled for tonight?" Jack asked, and his gray eyes smiled into Sues as he did. Its on now? Is Miss Lester coming? Oh she there now?. How long ago did she come in?.. You can't tell because they just unmasked? Well, I'll be over. Thank you"
 He hung up, and turned to Cor rinne. "Remember the number of your street chariot that you decided to use for ambling citizens around the streets?"
 "Of course, I've got 1t written down." Corrinne answered. "Pll get It." Sue held her breath as Cor rinne unfolded the paper.

The figure who sat at the wheel . of the taxicab that Sue and Jack had followed from the town where Sybil Lester had ordered Sue to take her wasn't slim and lithesome. It was heavy and thick and undoubted- ly masculine.
 A heavy black cigar glowed in the mans mouth. The very set of his head on the short neck was belig- erent.
 Did he follow the wrong cab7" Sue scarcely breathed the words. "Get the number" Jack com. manded tersely. Sue found it, repeat ed 1t, and scribbled 1t on card that Jack produced from his pocket.
 "Corrinne will know the number of the taxi assigned to her. Sue." Jack went on. T have a hunch this Is the one. There should be some stunt we could pull off to waylay the ming out of ideas. Have you got one?"
 Hail him and let me go as a pass enger." Sue suggested
 Like the seven plaques I will! Do you think I'm going to risk having you kidnapped again? Oh no. Believe it or not, we're travelling the same way now!"
 1T think we've followed the wrong cab," Sue answered, but done care so long as the road is. .togetherW They went to Sarah Slade's. and Sue waited while Jack called the Lester residence.
 "A masquerade ball? don't know but I think Sybil went to one. She's had some gentleman's clothes here and heard her talk about party" The sleepy voice rumbled on, echoing in the room, then suddenly came to

the whole venture lay in his ability
 to return the girl uninjured and to pocket the ransom without laying
 himself open to suspicion.
 With the party waiting at Doorn-
 dee for the continuation of events
 with the detective at Mill Rush
 comfortable in the hammock with a good book and with the members
 of the household innocently about
 their own affairs. it would be "a
 simple matter for him to lay the girl gently on grassy bank under
 the trees where she could safely
 sleep her way back to conscious ] ness.
 But with the alert and watchful young men proving about such ac- | Benito sighed. Anyhow, he told
 himself complacently, he had taken
 every possible safeguard for Gin gers sake. If things went wrong in the end, it could not be laid to him
 A mans first duty was to protect l himself. His one hope was that the boys would loiter about for an hour or two and then rush off to
 town to see what was transpiring there.
 But for the first time Benito felt worried. Ginger would sleep a | couple of hours or so longer he was sure of that-but suppose the
 boys did not go back to town? As | usual with him, in any state of emo- | ton, he set out to feed the birds, and Bard, seeing him, got up from the grass and followed him slowly from tree to tree.
 Don't come too close" cautioned
 Benito. Birds are easy frightened.
 Mel don't scare them. They know
 me-how I'm kind.''
 They do seem to know you" said Bard, who watched his every move
 ment with intent interest. Little bright eyes peered up at him from l}every nest. with no show of alarm, while the slightest stir of Bard'e
 sent every bird. fluttering away in q panic.
 Its because I'm gentle" ex- plained Benito. Wild things don't | like hurry-up. 5cares them. See how slow I move up-see how easy | put my nand out - hear how
 chirrup to them-lile this-Che-ep! Che-ep! They know I will never
 hurt them. I'm too gentle. Che-ep! Che-cp!'
 "Benito," Bard said. what do you think about-Miss Ginger? Do you think 1t would do any good for
 me to search the woods again?"
 Benito moved close to him, his expressive face a-quiver.
 MT Bard T don't think so,' he
 said sadly. "Im afraid we'll never see the poor little darling again.
 don't think she'll ever come back. Don't tell Miss Phil I said so-but
 I haven't got much hope. I think she's gone.
 "Give mo the can," said Bard iabrupt1y With his own hand, slow ly. as Benito had shown him, he sprinkled seeds upon the small floor of the robins house. "Che-ep" he said "Che-ep!"
 That's right" approved Benito.
 That's good. It's gentleness--
 That's what birds like. They can't stand excitement. Don't use up all

NANCY PAGE Here's a Scheme to Get a
 Child to Bed Early
 By Florence r.a ssnke.
ny FIorcnce t.a esanke.

How on earth does one get child- rem to bed at night?" Nancy thought she had the answer to it but Joan was continually teaching her new difficulties. At first Joan went to bed at o'clock. That was when she was two. When she was four she was allowed to stay up until 7 Now she was six. Her bedtime should have been 7:30, but try as hard as she would Nancy found that o'clock was what it really became.
 Neither her niece or her own son had been allowed to stay up when company was at the house, nor were they given more freedom On Friday

Mother, will you put my bed some place else?"
 Your bed! Whats the matter?" "Oh, I just thought maybe it would look nicer in the other cor ner."
 "What on earth? You take the queerest notions sometimes, Mary. Why should I move your bed?' I don't knoW-I'd just like it moved. Bettys mother changes her room around sometimes and it seems like Q new room every time. To-day she had it all changed again and she put on pink spread with stars on it. She got it in the at tic and it's pretty old. she says" Mrs Scott Is a fussy creature. Mary. don't like things changed"
 "All right, mother, but I do get sick of never having anything diff ferent The school rooms always the same; Miss Lester always has on that black dress, too. And the house is always just like it was the day before"
 Don't get temperamental, Mary. suppose if you had your way the trees in the park ought to be re- planted every month, the walks moved around, and the monuments | moved
 "Why, mother, the park looks through it. Some days it's all wet and gray, and some days it's all sunny and bright. The other day
 it looked like fairyland with the snow all over the trees. I saw some little green things growing twice alike. l love it."
 Exercising the Imagination
 we'll, don't know. Maybe l | could move things a little. Grand ma always said I didn't have much imagination. I guess you're like her. She was always dressing things up. For goodness sake tell | Roger to shut off that music. He's got the repeater on and that old record has gone round at least two dozen times It's that gigolo tune and I can't stand it dinned into my ears forever"
 What are we having for din- ner, mot1er?'
 "You might know. Pork and sweet potaroes. I think your father would start something if he did not have them at least three times week. Pm so tired of them I'd like to move to Alaska and eat reindeer"
 "Mother. couldn't we move my room tonight after dinner. I know lovely way to fix it. And I have a way to change the sitting room that would be lovely, too, if you'd try it. Please, mother" "Well. perhaps. Only I wish you were not so changeable, Mary. I don't get tired of things. I think it's sign of weak character some way. I hope you aren't going to have a weak character" All of us tire of humdrum things-some through sight. some through hearing, taste, or smell, or all of them. It is the same with children. Children are susceptible to things around them. Why not humor them and make the home as attractive as possible?

Research which has extended over years has finally brought to the United States what is expected to be a satisfactory parasite of the Jap anese beetle. The parasitic insect. according to U. s. department of ag- riculture reports. is known by the high sounding name of Tiphia pop illiavora Rohwer. The female of the species is the one which attacks the beetle.

further talks-had not closed the Incl
dent. He was receiving plenty of re-
action from within the Nation. There
was q stack of mail on his desk and
among other messages he had invita-
tons to carry his proposals to the peo-
pie In public addresses. One was from
the State Federation of Women's Clubs
Of New York.
Whether this vehicle would serve to
carry Borah further into the political
picture and into the 1882 presidential
situation was, a topic for discussion
among some serious minded political
leaders.
Replying to the invitation of the pre-
mier to come abroad, where he never
has been, Borah gave the elections next
year as possible reason for declining
Has International Aspect.
Evidence of the international effect
OF the Senator's demand for adjust
ment of German PREPARATIONS, abolition
Of the Polish corridor" and general re-
vamping of the European map was seen
last night at the French embassy re-
ception.
One after another of the diplomats
got him aside. Apparently they wanted
to fathom his meanings. One remarked
the Senator would tear up the map of
Europe" 1t was reported that Borah
replied the map would be torn up any,
way If Europe did not first revise 1t.
Senator Borah said of Laval's visit:
ut seems to me M. Lavals visit, speak
ing generally, will be all for the good
like M. Laval very much. He was
very candid and think made a most
excellent impression upon all with
whom he came in contact"

follow. There Is every reason TO be.
lieve an agreement In principle has al
ready been reached and that a confer
ence VIII be summoned to proceed to
a reduction Of debts on the basis OF the
reduction OF the German payments to
the allies.
This is probably one of the most ::s1-
portant and precise points Of the agree
ment which has been reached between
Mr.. Hoover and M. Laval.
Another point which undoubtedly will
have considerable repercussion IS the
agreement for the restoration OF eco
nomic stability. We previously have IN
dtcated the stress the two countries lay
on maintaining the gold standard. Al
though the French premier had 70
hight to obtain this concession, this e.
sential statement, contained In one SEN
tence. has been put in the oficial COM
muniQue.
While the heads of the French and
the American Governments were hold
ing discussions in Washington, the rep
reSentativeS Of the Federal Reserve
Bank and those of the BanQue de
France were conversing In New York.
Such conversations between the heads
OF the banks Of issue are customary IN
these days. The discussions between M.
F. Arnier and M. Lacour Gayet ON one
side and Mr.. Harrison on the other
were not concurrent with those between
Mr.. Hoover and M. Laval.
Banking Systems Agree.
All the same. the two banking sys-
TENS which have been feeling the ef-
fects Of the fall Of the pound, have
reached an agreement to take the neces-
sary measures, necessitated by the pres
ent crisis. They have agreed to MAIN
tain similar policy regarding the rate
Of interest.
The Banque de France has under
taken not to withdraw for the time
being more geld from the United State.
and In any case II she Is compelled TO
do so later she will do 1t in such q
manner as not to embarrass the Federal
Reserve Bank
These common decisions between the
two banks are in full accord with the
desire for an understanding which ex-
iSted in washington between the leaders
Of the two nations
These various measures and the state
ment that the two governments VIII
continue to study all poSosible means
conducive to the sterilization Of ex-
changes are particularly comforting and
their effect undoubtedly win be felt
before long.
To sum up although It has been Inn
possible TO establish q definite program
in such. . short time, the similarity Of
views and interests between the two
Premier Laval and President Hoover
have been able to establish, constitute
the maximum of what could be expected
from such short visit.

BY ALBERT JULIEN,

Foreign Editor of lie Petit Parisien. Paris.
The Official statement issued jointly
last night by President Hoover and
Premier Laval is similar in its phrase
ology and presentation to that issued
at the end Of the Franco-German con-
versationS in Paris.
There is indeed q good deal Of re-
semblance between these two conSulta-
tons because the results expected from
both were more Of psychological than
concrete nature. The great value of
the Washington communiQue is its
warm, cordial character and the desire
Of cooperation between the two coun-
tries which is shown therein.
It will undoubtedly contribute to the
establishment Of confidence. which
is so much needed to put an end to
the present depression.
The communique enumerates the sub
tectS discussed and avoids indicating
the results Of the discussion. It shows,
however, the vast field Of discussion
and, taking into consideration the
franknesS of expression Of President
Hoover and Premier Laval it is bound
to be fruitful thing for future nego-
tiationS.
Real Progress Is Seen.
The French and the Americans know
henceforth their respective positions in
all matters which may confront them
in the future. They know what they
have to do and how far they can be
expected to go In their efforts to solve
their problems. They need no longer
fear unpleasant surprises and disagree
able initiatives nor receptions caused by
exaggerated hopes. From this angle
the results Of the conversations have
shown real progress.
We have repeatedly stated that
neither Of the two men was In q posi-
ton to undertake the responsibility Of
some final agreement. They have been
able, however, to exchange assurance
which will be extremely important.
But in point of fact, they have to act
together. Take for instance the dis
armament question. AS was previously
stated, it was impossible to reach an
agreement on this subject as NJ Laval
demanded security pact while Presi-
dent Hoover declined to give even q
consultative pact, which the French
premier considered insufficient.
It is certain, all the same that France
and the United States will combine
their efforts to make next years Dis
armament Conference q success. It is
significant that the paragraph dealing
with this question should be the exact
reproduction Of the last sentence Of the
French memorandum sent to the League
Of Nations last August.
New Debt Deal Likely.
As far as the intergovernmental OBJ
legations are concerned, it has been
agreed to return to the Young plan at
the end Of the Hoover plan. An agree
ment has been reached in order to avoid
the United States interfering with The
Hague agreement by some new pro-
posals.
Before the end of June we probably
shall be confronted by a moratorium
demand from Germany, and commit
tee Of experts will be called to examine
Germany's capacity to pay, The debt
question will come up in this manner,
and new arrangements undoubtedly viii
