CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

A RE you going to marry me or
"a aren't your asked young DR..
Allen beseechingly.
The jury is still out, Lottie an
swered They we're standing at the
rail in Bridgetown Harbor, looking
across the stretch Of water to the
shore.
The deck was deserted Mona had
gone TO the Aquatic Club with an at
tractive passenger who had come
aboard at Martinique.
Going to the dance tonight?"
pursued the doctor.
Lottie shrugged The Miranda
was TO remain until midnight, so
that passengers and crew could at
tend the weekly hop at the Beach
Club.
Perhaps" Her eyes ignored the
earnest young man at her elbow
and sought little bobbinR specks on
the water which were growing
larger
Diving boys!" she exclaimed.
Though the Miranda had been met
in the same way in every port, Lot
tie never tired Of watching them.
There are girls, too, said DR..
Allen.
"GirlsP It's the first port where
I've seen women diving!"
There were girls in the boats, sure
enough.
Maybe they won't dive" sug-
gested the doctor. Maybe the lads
Just brought them along for seen
cry"
The girls at the moment were not
diving There were three of them,
clad in bathing suits Of scarlet,
lavender. and green. Each was
seated in a small boat with her own
flock Of boy divers.
do you dive?" called Lottie, hold
ing forth an American quarter. The
girl in blue looked up and folded
her arms.
Sure" she said scornfully, with
out. moving.
Two shilling, mistress Two shil-
ling!" one Of her escorts explained.
TINE doctor produced two shill-
Il ings and flung them toward the
girl, who arose and dived gracefully
from the boat. She emerged in a
moment holding the money aloft
and striking out for her boat with
swift clean-cut strokes.
She doesn't swim as we'll as the
boys remarked the doctor.
Want your money back?" Lotties
voice was ingenuously curious
Look who's here!"
She pointed toward the shore
where a tiny boat, urged forth by
small shingles held in the hands OF
its occupant, was leaving the quay.
The tiny figure in the perilous
bark was another girl, her head
Haunting a magnificent bandanna
of black and white. The girl was
driving her boat rapidly toward the
Miranda.
She was a novice at handling the
bark apparently, but there could be
no doubt about her eagerness to
reach the steamer.
Presently an agitated parade
reached the jetty, headed by a tiny
half naked, black boy They Sc
lected a boatsman, jumped in the
boat he profTered and were after the
girl.
She turned her head, spied them
and redoubled her efforts, splashing
through the water frantically.
AS she reached the flotilla of ma
tive boats, it was clear that she was
an alien. The natives refused to
make way for her and, tossing aside
her paddle, the girl rose, poised and
cleft the water sharply.
Abruptly she came to the surface
again and swan toward the COM
panion ladder.
She extended a hand, caught the
chain and pulled herself aboard,

Chicago, III, June 25.--(UP)- We are meeting at the critical hours of our nations history---the political events of the next few months will largely determine whether this nation shall lift itself out of depression and go on as the ernment or whether 1t shall go down into chaos and stand in hiss. tory as a colossal monument to mans failure to govern himself
 Never has a democratic conven- tion been held in times more preg- nant with possibilities for good or evil for both the party and for the nation. No party has ever been faced with more critical, q more aroused or more desperate cifl. Zenry.
 The most significant announces ment yet made by any of the party leaders was issued by James A. Farley, manager for Franklin D. Roosevelt when he said:
 "At q meeting of the friends of Governor Roosevelt consisting Of leading democrats from practically every state and territory the fol- lowing resolution was adopted unanimously:
 That it be the sense of this gathering that we pledge ourselves to do all within our power to bring about the abolition of the two thirds rule and the adoption of the majority rule In this conventions"

 Dry leaders are in the back ground. Dr Ernest H. Cherrington, representing the Anti-Saloon League, paces the rear area of the committee room, conscious that he is beaten before he starts.

 l. Shall the party recommend repeal?
 2. Shall 1t propose modification of the Volstead act pending repeal?
 Indications are that the demo- crast will do neither of those things. They are expected. however. to offer the people an opportunity to vote for repeal through state conventions If they desire to do so.

 King Prajadhipok, absolute but liberal-minded monarch, was ex- pected to meet the demands of reb- els. They held the royal family and controlled the government, de- manding the esta blishment of a constitutional monarchy with linn- tied powers for the king..
 The rebel movement was &C., com mplished with little bloodshed or disorder. It was led by. army and navy officers and supported by Siamese suffering from economic depression and a heavy taxation burden.
 The rebels arrested the leading princes of Siam. M
 They sent gunboat to the sea- side resort of Huahin, where the king was resting, to bring the monarch here to make his decis- ion.
