SYNOPSIS: Prisoners on a lonely island, an unusual group of people wait for rescue. Ab- ducted by an unusually daring band, Nancy Wentworth, four wealthy business men and gangster, Lucci, try to with stand the nervous strain of suspense and tropical heat Ashwood, the gang leader, who is young but white-haired and is lame, demands a new form of ransom instalIments of board money. While the money was being collected by the gang from an isolated spot their hydroplane was seen by Jerry Calhoun, Emery Battles and Stevens, a detective, who are searching for the kidnapers. The three start to follow in their own airplane, hoping to find the gangs hidden head quarters. Meanwhile, Ashwood amuses himself observing the reactions of the prisoners to their predicament. He tells Nancy that the have all been selected carefully, and are good psychological material for study. Nancy asks who is paying her board money.

APLANK WITHOUT EVASION.

The Prohibition Plank of the Democratic Party
 is as straghtcut and unmstakable in it's mean
 ing as that of the Republican Party is evasive and meaningless. The former puts the Democrats square ly behind repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and proposes that Congress shall submit to the several States, to be voted by conventions called in each State for that purpose of a resolution calling for repeal and pending that, to modify immediately the Volstead Act to permit the manu- facture and sale of light wine and beer.
 It would completely free the individual States from Federal interference with the control of al- coholic beverages, leaving only interstate move ment of such beverages subject to Federal jurisdc- tion. That is the only stand the convention could have taken and keep in line with the Democratic Partys traditions. It is right and proper that it should at this time pledge itself to restore to the States the power which was stripped from them when the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect than 12 years ago. If any State desires to permit the manufacture and sale of liquor, it ought to have the right to do so without hndrance from any other State that desires to prohibit the facture and sale And the is true of the States that desire to prohibit it. That is what the plank adopted by the convention pledges the party to bring about. And it demands that the Federal Government effectively protect the Dry States against importation of contraband liquors across it's borders from their Wet neighbors.
 The convention went step further. It was wise in declaring for the enactment of such meas ures by the several States will actually promote temperance and effectively prevent the return of the saloon, and bring the liquor traffic into the open under complete supervision and control by the States. There is nothing in this like the moon shine hokum incorporated into the Republican plat form about preserving the gains already made under Prohibition If any State wants to restore the saloon declares the Democratic platform in effect that is it's own business and not any concern of the Federal Government. As a national entity the Democratic Party pledges itself endeavor to induce the several States to legisate against the return of the saloon, but if any decide to license saloons the party recognizes their right to do so without Federal interference
 This is the plank that Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler and Senator Hiram Bingham fought so val iantly to have incorporated by the Republican Con- yention in it's platform, and which was defeated by a narrow margin out of party loyalty to President Hoover who rejected it in favor of the looking ways abomination that was finally adopted and has been unqualifiedly condemned by thousands of members of that party both Wet and Dry as political expedent to trap the votes of both sides

HOUSE COMPLETES BAD JOB.

The House of Representatives Monday completed bad job that was begun several weeks ago by the Senate It passed the Howell bill already passed by the Senate to transfer the powers and duties of the Alaska Road Commission to the Interior De- partment, When this step was first proposed The Empire said it was unwse move, one that was not calculated to produce economy centralize author ity achieve anything except promote traffic over the Alaska Railroad at the expense of the pioneer residents of Interior Alaska. It wiped out one of the most efficient agencies of the Federal Govern ment in the Territory to satisfy a grudge of one man-Senator Howell-whose insistence on making the Alaska Railroad a profit-making property has become obsession
 Alaskans were more united in their opposition to this than they have ever been on any subject in the past dozen or more years. Their protests fell on deaf The "skids were greased" as one Washington observer commented on the pro- posal This is the worst blow of several severe ones dealt to the Territory by the present Congress. Worst because it was below the belt, and because our friends from whom had the right to expect real assistance refused to formally object For the present there is nothing Alaskans can do about it. but day of reckoning will surely come.

the ever-present element of uncer- lating profession Plans are sub ject to change without notice. For instance, if I'm not mistaken, the crew of that airplane up there may , have something to say about our immediate future
 Nancy and Lucci followed the line of his pointing figure, saw a tiny dot in the morning sky. AS they watched it, the faint pulsing drone of its motor came to their ears. The guard on the beach hastily dismounted his machine gun and carried it beneath the shelter ing leaves of palm. Another guard appeared, who began to do things to the breech of the gum. Three men dashed out of the ser vice door and raced down to the hangar. Presently the entire island shook to the laundering noise of the anlphibian's engine. A man appeared at the hangar door, dress ed in coveralls and helmet. He stood there, gazing alertly at the porch, as if awaiting some sign from the white-haired cripple.

A Breathless Moment.
CNew York Herald Tribune )


 Senator Borah crawled away out on the end of the limb yesterday and, to the horror of his admir- ing audience started to right through it.
 As a dauntless dry he damned the Chicago platform up and down and announced that he could not and would not support MT. Hoover Mean time, the battling Democrats have already made it clear that they intend to adopt plank at least as wet as the Republican plank and maybe wetter At the end of his speech MT. Borah seemed certain to be a man without party within a few short days
 There is one cheering thought however which may be said to those loyal Borahites who are cov- ering their eyes lest they see the limb break and then hero crash into third party. He has never crashed yet. All his political life he has been crawling out on the end of limbs and hurling death-defyng threats at his party Often, as in the birth of the Progressive Party in 1912 the limb has crashed, thanks in no small part to the heft of the Senator's political bulk But the Sen ator did not go down with it. When the Progress sve Party swirled dizziy down to Armageddon. MT. Borah was not with it. By last minute feat of dexterity he had swung himself back to the main trunk.
 For there the shade was and safety-good Re- publican votes on Election Day. There is at least chance that history will go repeating itself in MT Borah's precisely as it has always done in the past.

CHAPTER IA.
PACKETS

There was malicious gleam in the cripple's eyes as he watched pelican wade at the edge of the beach.
 Perhaps we'd better take up one question at a time" he suggested to Nancy T happened quite by accident to see a splendid picture of you in the rotograph section of a Sunday newspaper just as I was making out my guest list. Be- heath it was a caption to the ef- fact that you were engaged to one of Americas wealthiest men. Since your fiance established, so to speak, your financial standing, it occurred to me that you would be a vel come addition to our somewhat exclusive little circle
 T am quite happy to say that MT. Macomber, your fiance, paid your board bill without undue pro- test"
 Nancy sat very stiIl for some moments, staring thoughtfully out across the glitering water.
 Tell me, MT Ashwood, she asked at length, why did you come down here yourself when you knew We would all be able to identify you in court if you are ever cap- tured2"
 That, Miss Wentworth, was part of my plan My past efforts have been extraordinarily enumerative, but, being a restless spirit, I have become bored With them. This is my last racket as the worthy MT Lucci would term it."
 When I first discovered the val ue of airplanes as part of every intelligent criminals equipment, he went on blandly. T allowed my imagination to run riot upon the uses to which ga novel an in strument might be put. This plan occurred to me, bit by bit, and I spent the better part of six months finding proper location for my guest house. At last I discovered this island, which is nothing short of ideal for the purpose. I pur- chased a portable house, with all the equipment, gasoline lighting plant, electric refrigerator and the like, and brought it here on scow, where my men erected it. Very simple job it was, too"
 When the house has served it's purpose, I shall disappear My sanctuary awaits me. In it I have grand piano, modern radio and thousands of books, enough to last me until I die. There, comfortable, surrounded with the things I like, shall mediate upon these days of roguery, browse contentedly through my library and perhaps write a book or two"
 He smiled at her, wide-mouth- ed, generous smile, which contrast ed strangely with his words and his actions. She found herself amaz- ed beyond belief at the strange philosophy of this remarkable man She wondered what he had suf- fered, to give him this warped outlook upon life, but her intui- tion warned her that it would not be wise to probe too deeply.
 An, MT. Lucci," he said, look ing over her shoulder, your pres ence this morning speaks wonders for your stamnia. You'll pardon me, I'm sure, but that diagonal bandage gives your face an un- commonly rakish look. How are the other inmates?"

(New York World -Teegram) True, recent G. O. P. doings at Chicago might have inspired anybody. Nevertheless we think there have been two three "sparkles' in the comment specially worthy to go sparkling. For instance: The Republican Herald Trbunes editorial query about Senator Dickinsons keynote speech:
 "Is it wreath of eloquence surrounding great sence?"
 The Hoover Prohibition plank aestheticized by Edwin c. Hill of the Sun:
 "A lily, gemmed with dew"
