I'm not worried about that part of it. The fun will be worth what 1t costs"
 Maybe replied the other doubt Ally. Can't say as it looks like fun to me. More like a whole flock of trouble. But, as just said, you might get your money back. This morning that bunch of fancy law yers is announcing a reward of $100,O00 apiece for the recovery ot the three who were kidnapped the night your boy friend here, nearly got the works. And another hun dred thousand for anyone who causes the arrest and conviction of the leader of the mob that turned the trick
 Tell you what let's do,' Emory burst out excitedly. Lets form partnership the three Of us. If we get any of the reward, well split it three ways"
 Suits me-" agreed the little man, quietly Now If you babies will settle down a few minutes, I'll slip yod a few ideas"
 The three drew their chairs close together and went into a huddle.

CHAPTER 2. AMATEUR DETECTIVES

The mllO-eyeQ, OluISH stevens entered, greeting Jerry casually and offering surprisingly muscular hand to Emory following the in troduction.
 Jus thought I'd look in" he ex- plained, genially. Got your ad- dresses at the field"
 The little mans inoffensive voice dwindled off into silence as he glanced admiringly around the tastefully furnished room. He look ed about as little like detective Jerry thought, as anyone pos sibly could.
 T see you've been reading the papers" he continued, indicating the scattered heap on the floor. This business is getting to be a nuisance. Worst of it is, I'm de- clared in on it, now, for good. All on account of this One-Shot Luc- ci."
 Emory passed him box of ci- gars. He selected one, broke it in half. remained silent for a few moments while he got his chew safely under control, then sat back in his chair with a sight of con- tentment.
 Hear you've been running out of gas down Atlantic City ways"' 1 he confided unexpectedly. s
 Jerry looked at him sharply but the calm little man was plaeidly eyeing a Currier and Ives print on the opposite wall.
 "Uh huh" The detective looked cautiously around the floor, under the table and into the nearest cor ner. Then. meeting the hostile impact of Hawkes. eye, he sat back trying to appear unconcerned. This gum shoe business is a fun nv game" he observed, apropos of nothing.
 "Why?' asked Emory politely. The faded blue eyes met his.
 "A feller doesn't get anywhere all by himself. He chases around to hellangone and then finds that someone else has copped the prize. A lot of ambitious young fellers start galloping off with their tails over the dashboard going to ge5 somewhere in a hurry. Pretty soon. though they come back sort ot tired out and discouraged-like, and are glad enough to get a little help"
 He lapsed into melancholy medi- tation, gazing about the room Jerry and Emory, watching him in- tently, held their peace.
 Me, I always have to take all the help I can get Stevens com plained. Now, in this case, for instance. O'course, I got an idea just the same as you fellers have that the racketeers are stepping out high, wide and handsome
 And I figure, just like you do,' he continued, regarding litho- graph of the "Cutty Sark," with in- terest, that the gangsters arc smart enough to cash in on air planes as the next step up from armor plated limousines as sure means of getting around fast. Well what's next?" He looked at the listeners, his eyes mildly question ing. You boys want to keep or playing single-handed, or could buy a stack of chips and sit ir with you? I got an idea I coulc make the game more interesting for you. And you could pep 1t III bit for me, too. What say?'
 Emory grinned broadly. Int nuaar old chan wasn't such an in.

The Higher Tribute.
(New York World-Telegram.

Boston lawyers proposal to draft Justice Louis D. Brandeis of the United States Supreme Court to serve as President is, doubtless, high tribute to this great liberal jurist
 But still higher tribute we think will be the feeling of host of intelligent Americans that Justice Brandeis should remain Justice Brandeis
 This feeling may be in part the same that under Hay regret for Justice Hughess resignation from the Supreme Court to run for the Presdency-a feeling that the nations highest bench is height enough for any man.
 But in Justice Brandeiss there is also na- tion-wde recognition of the peculiar and extra ordinary value of his hberalzing influence in the present makeup of the Supreme Court.
 Justice Brandeis, think, is one of the largest finest assets of these United States-just where he is.

STOCKS ARE LOWER
| AFTER EARLY GAIN
Dividend Uncertainties Con-
tinue to Play important
Part in Trading.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK, January 28.-Lacking
encouragement from the outside news,
the stock market sold off again today
after an early display of steadiness.
How much of factor the far east
ern situation was it is difficult to say.
That it played some part cannot be
denied The japanese yen was lower
at the opening and japanese dollar
bonds sold Off in this market.
Dividend uncertainties continued to
play a large part in the market. In
view of the action of the United States
Steel Corporation Tuesday, it was felt
that directors of other companies might
be inclined to greater degree of con-
servatism Finally, the irritating delay
in reaching an agreement at Chicago
hurt the market.
Rails in Reaction.
The morning reaction today took IN
the railway shares, as it had not done
in the preceding session. Atchison,
Union Pacific and New York Central
were under pressure, while recent
spectators for the rise in Missouri
Pacific preferred retreated. There was
no break in the disappointing array OF
earnings statements.
Another disturbing influence was the
heavy selling of American Telephone
& Telegraph, for which, as has been
said on other occasions, there was no
adequate explanation. Telephone di-
rectors meet for dividend action Feb
ruary IT and it is confidently expected
that the regular rate will be declared.

standing in the patio never knows what is going
on over his head unless he looks up at the huge
horizontal window" in the roof as it slides
open.
If the air in the patio was heated as ordi-
narily by artificial means. it would probably be
dried out too much for the proper growth and
development of the many valuable tropical
plants which it shelters. These plants in their
native lands are accustomed to a moist atmos-
phere of relatively high humidity and con-
slant tropical temperature which f1uctuates
very little Artificial humidiication would be
essential If these tropical plants were main
tanned in the average public building under
ordinary room temperature conditions
The patio steals some heat from the en-
closed corridors which encircle this tropical
garden in a northerly setting This heat
flows by conduction through the substantial
walls, windows and doors which separate the
rest Of the artistic Pan-American Building
from the patio. The surrounding corridors are
maintained at q Winter indoor temperature of
70 degrees Fahrenheit. The seepage of heat
by conduction from the corridors to the patio
as well the radiant heat from the sun are
sufficient in their combined consummations TO
maintain the patio at a simulated tropical
temperature and humidity even during the cold
est weather which prevails in our National
Capital.
MAYHEM the outdoor temperature ranges from
w % to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and when the
Pan-American Union Building is maintained
at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the
patio gains about 10 degrees of its normal
warmth from solar radiation while the balance
obtains from conduction and infiltration
through walls, windows and doors. Ordinarily

til late April 1t is only very rarely during

are developing. During that period the tropi-
cal plants protected within the cool building
are sheltered from extreme heat in similar
manner as though they we're growing in their
native forests and fields. Throughout the day
they folded with a wealth of sunshine,
while the fountain pool in the center of the
patio aids in providing a certain amount Of
moisture in the atmosphere by normal evapora-
tion. The plants themselves are watered daily
by hand or with hose. During fair weather,

ton. In every respect provision is made for
plant comfort and wel-being and the evidences
are that the South American tropicas are
fooled into believing that they are still resi-
dents of the lands of their nativity instead OF
being exhibition plant immigrants in the United
States, thousands of miles from the soil n
which they were nurtured originally.

wholesale and tank car lots from
East Texas wells partially was re-

against eighteen men.
The eighteen are charged with
theft Of huge quantities Of oil from

ators and railroad station agents

Arrest of twenty-five TO forty
other persons is expected soon.
Taylor said the general plan Of
operation in thefts in the field is:
Operators OF leased wells install
secret lines, presence Of which is
not known to owners or the state
conservation authorities. Through
these lines oil is taken to tank cars
and sent by rail 10 distant refners
who may not even suspect the oil
