Fourth hurry through his break fast so that he could be off to work. She saw him come home, night after night, exhausted but happy. She looked at the new fur niture in the living room with the same sort of polite incredulity that she regarded the two new servants | in the house. None of it was true, she told herself over and over, and one of these fine morn- ings she would wake up to find that the dream had ended
 Nelson felt the same way. He had been at home late one after noon when Sam had dropped in to visit Martha. and stood by quiet 1 ly while they two girls had ex- claimed in unison over the many cOnveniences of the new apart ment. Then when Sam had said that she must go, he followed her out to the little coupe at the curb.

SYNOPSIS: I'm rich," ex- claims Fourth Aldcrsea, telling his stepdaughtcr Sam Sherrill, that his invention has proved successful. Sam believes it is worthless and charges Fourth with taking money to promote it from Eugenie Frye, who Is interested in him. Sam is ac- tually head of the family, for her mother willed her complete charge of finances and prop erty after Fourth reduced the family to poverty by bad in vestmonts. Feeling herself re- sponsible for the family's so- cial and fin al troubles, Sam has become engaged to Peak Abbott. Peak is an attrac- tive young millionaire, but Sam prefers Freddy Munson. whom she had intended to marry. Fourth had used his newly ac- quired money to evict his son Nelson and Nelson's wife, their former maid, from the house, by providing an apartment for them. Indignant at Sam's sus- picious about the money, Fourth throws Sam paper and gives her an hour to read it and change her mind.

Laval leaves with ar audience. i! IS his manner of referring to his country. He says, My country"
 M. Briano scys, The country"
 A warmer breeze blows from my country" than from the coun try And the French ike it.
 One reason why M. Laval SC readily accepted the invitation of President Hoover was that the French Parliament was on vacation and not due to resume its sittings until he called it.
 Ordinarily the French Chamber and Senate, do not like to have their Government Chief quit the country, even for a short period. Consequently in the past when Parliament was in session and the Premier wanted to travel he had 10 obtain a formal vote of con- tidence.
 Premier Laval has had no such trouble, but he will have to face a lot of criticism when he gets back His enemies already have protested against his delaying the convoca- tion of the National Legislature until November l2 and accuse him of trying to run the Government without the aid of Parliament.

MYSTERIOUS MIR. BURKE

After a time Sam idly pulled the paper toward her with the tip of her shoe. She read it through care fully, twice. Then she shrugged and, crossing to the telephone, called Peak Abbott's number
 Hello, Peak" she said briefly when he had answered Fourth has contrived to sell his invention to the precious widow Frye. Isn't that jolly?"
 "No!" Peak was incredulous.
 ''No? Well. Fourth has suddenly come into a lot of money from his invention and I'd like to know where else he could have found it. No, I'm afraid the widow is the charitable organization The point is, Peak, that you and I have got to find way to give her money back
 T suppose so. What do you want me to do-call the woman and tell her that she's being taken for a sleigh ride?"
 Tt won't be necessary to call the widow. The man I want you to get in touch with is named Arthur A. Burke. He's the man who signed his name to the contract Fourth has. On the paper he calls him self the president of the A. A Burke Manufacturing Company, out that's just a blind, of course He's really the Frye woman's agent"
 T see. You think that Mrs. Frye is using an agent so as to deceive Fourth as to the real source of the money?'
 T think it's more likely that I am the one who's being deceived Fourth has sense enough to know that I'd hit the roof if I found he was taking money from the widow
 All right. Sam. I'll look MT Burke up the first thing in the morning and whisper gently in his ear"
 No. that won't do Sam said T want you to try to reach him by telephone tonight-right away You see, Fourth has delivered an ulti- matum. Either I am to accept his preposterous story that Eugenie has

 Oh" Sam shrugged. You're talking about Fourths money. It's rather remarkable, I'll grant you, but I suppose it's true"
 "Ill say it's remarkable! Can you imagine fortune falling into our laps and more particularly can you imagine Fourth being respon- sible? If you can, you're different from me. I'm completely defeated!"
 T know" Sam nodded. I've been in a sort of fog myself. l keep telling myself that it's too good to be true, but still"
 Exactly. It cant be true. but there it is, staring us in the face. !" He scowled. Are you sure that this invention business is on the level?"
