While I think a majority OF
stocks are selling at abnormal de-
preston levels, which cannot last
forever, it must be admitted that
the action of the market con-
tinueS unfavorable.
Also it must be admitted that
at present business news is most
ly unfavorable to the market.
Most observers who are at all
hopeful, therefore, base their
hopes on technical conditions.
But such. conditions are chiefly
known by the action of the mar
ket, so even this line OF reason
ing does not lead to very bulllsh
conclusions.
The plain fact is there has
been such a steady stream Of real
liquidation that the shorts have
had to worry. There was some
covering on Tuesday, but the
shorts could buy all they wanted
without marking prices up.
There has been a good deal OF

"Depression-Proot" Theater
Issues Now Drag Bottom

NEW YORK, May 22.-While
the stock market is in one Of
it's uncomfortable tantrums, 1t
will afford an interesting side
light to compare financial opin.
ions Of a year or so ago with
those prevailing at the moment.
Take the so-called depression,
proof industries Of that time. One
favorite in particular was the
amusement field. The theory
was that in hard times people
would visit theaters oftener in
order to take their minds off
their hardships.
Theater Stocks Slack
Yet look at the quotations of
leading motion picture issues to-
day. Warner recently was sell
ing only a fraction above the
dividend it once paid in its palmy
days.
Paramount reduced its dividend
from 81 to $3.50 annually, and
now the stock is selling to yield
10 per cent at the reduced rate,
an indication Of the lack of faith
the investing public places in the
acknowledged leader of the
industry.
Fox already Is discounting re-
duction or omission of dividend.
RadioKeith is being quoted at
less than half the price at which
stockholders were offered rights to
subscribe to common stock some
time back.
Rails Lead Rally
Thursdays late rally, which &C
counted for a gain of IL points in
the 80 composite stock index of

change on the upside, after 10
consecutive days of decline.
The rails were higher for the
third successive session.

NEW YORK, May % GNSJ.
The railroad stocks and utilities
made an effort to lead the market
into higher price levels today, but
this was offset by the persistent
weakness of the blue-chip indus
tries and specialties.
The meeting of the Iron and
Steel Institute conference failed to
tone up the steel shares, and after
reaching 10112, United States
Steel fell away by easy stages to
0812. Bethlehem. Crucible, Vana-
dunn and other steel stocks were
also under pressure.
Alcohol Off S Points
Westinghouse and American
Can, with Standard Oil of New
Jersey, Eastman Kodak and spe-
cialties like Industrial Alcohol
were under steady selling pressure,
and except for the first period
sold well under Thursdays closing
figures.
A 5-point drop in industrial al
cohol was in line with the reac-
tion in the chemical stocks as a
group. Dupont, Allied Chemical
and Air Reduction lost more than
Q point on the average.
Eastman Kodak lost about S
points and Westinghouse was
down 2.
The amusement stocks and the
1ow-priced oils rallied slightly in
the second hour.
Wage Cut Aids

On an announcement that new
wage cuts put into effect until
September of 1882 would save the

New York Central, New Haven,

Q point on the average.

everything. That's what took me
so long.
You didn't worry, did you? Any
how, your necklace is safe-right
here in old Bates pocket" He
reached into a capacious inner
pocket, and drew out the rolled up
bundle Of napkin-unfolded it bit
by bit in his palm, saw that it was
empty. A horrible, pop-eyed express
sion froze his face.
IT'S gone!' he gasped. 1t was
like the last groan Of a dying man.
ITO you mean to say you didn't
- know that, until now?" Mary
cried. You picked up an empty
napkin-Ive got the necklace. It's
In Mr.. Jupiter's safe"
Devoutly, Bates calculated ooh,
my God" His arms fell Imply
ut his sides.
We'll, how did you-what did
you-did you have any trouble
he suffered, overcome with shame.
Plenty! got back with it,
but my hairs snow white. Tell
you all about it in the morning.
Now don't you fret-it wasn't your
fault"
1t was her turn to pat his shoulder
reassuringly. To help him out, she
changed the subject.
Can We get under way at once?
Did you see Bruce and the countess
anywhere?"
They're on the pier-the kids
gone back for them now. BY the
way, here's something your fat
friend sent you. He was sitting
on the dock waiting when I came
up-he wouldn't give it to the
sailor"
He handed Mary a thick enve-
lope. Curious, she took it to her
room.
A single sheet of note paper
held the words Here's the dope.
Keep these. I stole 'em out of
the morgue, and I've got to return
'em. But I couldn't resist telling
you the good news"
There were clippings, yellowed,
ringed about the word de Iona
with a blue pencil and stamped
on each clipping was date-the
date of its appearance in a Miami
paper
The clippings, read in chrome
logical order, gave the newspaper
account Of the doingS of the cele-
brated French actress, Louise De
Iona, on board Havana line
steamship way back in the year
1924. The steamship line and all
other parties concerned evidently
had succeeded in hushing up the
matter pretty thoroughly, but
enough had leaked out through the
excited tales of fellow passengers to
show up the lady as an adventures
of an old, familiar type.
She was not deported, but evil
IDENTIFY she had been only too happy
to accept the hint of Miami police
officials and return to Havana i'm
mediately.
At any rate, she went-threat-
ening that her husband would sue.
There was no record in the clip
pings of any suit being brought.
Mary put the clippings back in
the envelope, and laid it under her
pillow. Good old George Bowen
to give her this to sleep on!
She went to the portfolio and
looked upward. There, on the sun
deck, as he had promised, she could
see Bates dark figure in it's steam
er chair, silhouetted against the
lighter sky.

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

A S Mary stood shivering with
L n dread, uncertain what to do,
she heard the sound of oarlocks
and the bump of boat as it hit
against the suspended gangway.
Picking up her skirts she ran
along the deck, and almost fell into
the arms of Bates, coming up the
gangplank. She could have kissed
him.
"Oh, Bates, I'm scared! The Fly
is aboard" she whispered, "as my
guest, and I think he's prowling
around after the rubies.
Il just came out on deck and
some one ran from near Mr.. Jupi-
ter's door. I told him Mr.. Jupiter
had them~
stay here" Bates commanded.
He unbuttoned his coat and loos-
ened the revolver from it's holster
under his arm. Staying in the
shadow Of the upper deck he moved
quietly along the bulkhead.
She saw him stop and test Mr..
Jupiter's door, then disappear
around the corner, where the
shadowy figure had run but two
minutes before.
The seconds passed like hours as
Mary leaned back against the wall,
straihing her eyes to catch every
sound. Then Bates reappeared so
noiseleSSly that he startled her.
"All serene" he reported. 1.-THE
old mans door is locked and The
Fly is back in his stateroom-three,
isn't it?" Mary said Eyes" heard
him moving around and there's a
light under the door.
You run along to bed now and
old Henry @. Bates will take care
of things. I'll camp right up there
on the upper deck in chair where
I can see both your stateroom door
and Mr.. Jupiter's. Run along, and
pleasant dreams"
Mary wrung his hand. Bates,
you're a darling!"
Sure I am. But listen, what's
the program now? We didn't find
a thing in De Loma's room, Not a
thing. Had to tear up carpets and

MARY was on the verge of cry
1Vl ing as she stepped out on deck,
but she had too much to think
about to give way just yet.
There was light under Mr.. Jupi-
ters door and he~ first act was to
put the rubies in his possession,
with a breathless account of the
evenings fright, and Bates failure
to show up.
Once the rubies we're locked in
the cabinet safe, she felt better. Let
The Fly get them now, if he could
1--WE brought him on board, and
think he means to stay" she told
him But to tell the truth, I'm ter
ribly frightened Of him e. he's a
devil
She closed her eyes to shut out
the vision of that grinning, lustful
face above her own; involuntarily
she drew her hand across her lips
as if to wipe away his kiss.
Leave him to mel" Jupiter
Numbered. BY God. I can handle
him! Can't shoot the fellow down
in cold blood, but there are other
ways
Where Hendricks?" Suddenly he
was bundle of energy, cracking out
commands. Tell Hendricks to get
up steam at once. We sail at mid
night. If Bates shows up then,
o. K. If not we'll go without him."
Where to?" Mary asked in
emaZement.

you're going to take him-fish-
ing with your"
The old man did not answer. A
demoniac CLEAN was in his eye. "I'll
show him some-fishing," he prom
Used savagely. Wondering Mary ran
to carry his order to Captain Hend-
ricks.
And captain, send a man ashore
to look for Mr.. Bates and Bruce, if
they don't return within the half
hour. We don't want to be delayed
waiting for them"

Did you like your drink" there
was faint suggestion of archneSs,
softly caressing note in her voice
that caught his ear instantly-the
ear Of a born Don Juan, keenly
attuned to such nuances.
He began a conventional protest,
but she hurried on:
Pleased Mr.. Jupiter is so anxious
to avoid publicity and the reporters
will pounce on you if you set foot
ashore.
IF they come here, we can refuse
to see them. But that one on the
pier still may be waiting-there may
be dozens, by now" She shud-
dered, and moved a trif1e nearer.
Besides-that girl on the roof,
the one for whom you danced?" He
looked at her in surprise, and she
shook a roguish finger a him. "Ah,
you didn't think knew? If you go
back now, shall think you go back
to her!"
His gallantry challenged, he spent
the next half hour protesting the
charge, inflamed with the ardor of
the chase, held in spite of himself
by the spell Of this girls loneliness,
doubly potent in the cool moon
light.
1t was nearly midnight before
Mary could get away, utterly worn
and nerve Wracked from the strain
of being alluring without actually
submitting to his advances.
Finally she sent him to his state
room, in a stewards charge. She
undressed YEARLY. Thank God, they
would be under way soon.
Bates had not arrived, nor Bruce
and the Countess. But any minute
might bring them.
She slipped on a negligee and
went out on deck for a last look to-
ward shore. The yacht was quiet
except for muff1ed pounding and
stir below decks where the fireman
was tending his oil burners under
the boiler.
Mr.. Jupiter's room was Just
around the corner from her own.
One of his stateroom windows
opened on the deck beside where
she was standing. She slipped
quietly along and stopped just by
the portfolio. A reassuring snore
sounded within the stateroom and
she sighed with relief.
Stepping on around the corner
she saw what seemed to be
shadow disappearing around the
forward bulkhead. Sitting
scream, she crept back into the
shadows.

HENDRICKS was deeply i'm
Il 4 pressed by the order. He
stood a moment lost in thought,
but he did not seem ill-pleased-on
the contrary, strangely excited and
rather happy.
"So-youve got him trapped, eh?"
he unused. He was a hearty, vital
sort of man, fond of life and with
an Unsuitable love of adventure
which his seafaring life managed
to satisfy only in part.
He was as interested in the
capture of Mrs. Jupiter's murderer
as any outsider could be. And as
for the imminent struggle with a
dangerous criminal Mary could
have sworn he was loking forward
to it with keen anticipation
The Fly wheeled about as she
came up behind him, with the
alacrity of a man trained to keep
his face toward his enemies.
"You mustn't think of going
ashore tonight" Mary told him.
