CHAPTER XIII

That night, as she got ready
for bed, Sharne tried to figure
things out for herself.
To begin with, she was not
very deeply in love with Mr..
Collins any more. The glamour
that belongs to all rich men
had gone from him, and with it
most OF her feeling Of hero
worship for him had gone. He
was no longer the big Boss" in
her mind. He was a man, with
some money and some property
planning to go away and start
life over again-a man who
liked the boring things that her
father and his friends had al
ways liked. Poker and beer and
cheese and loud laughter in a
smoke-filled room.
And then, she was not at all
certain that he was really in
love with her. There was no
getting around the fact that
she had done most Of the pur-
suing in her love affair with
him. = Putting herself in his
way at the office, telephon1ng
him, inviting him to the flat.
If she married she would want
to be sure that her husband
was madly in love with her. She
remembered a phrase from some
book or other that she had
read-"hot-blooded marriage or
none at ALL" That was the
right idea.
Still, a girl could pass up a
chance like Mr.. Collins pro
posal and never get another one
as long as she lived. Take
Edna, for example-beautiful
and clever and fairly brimming
with life and sparkle and
charm. In spite Of her beaiIy
and her intelligence. Edna was
still hanging on the vine. and
probably always would unless
Jim Barnum married her.
Sharlie lay in bed and thought

ture of herself as an old maid

"tPlease let me think all this
over until tomorrow" she had
said to Mr.. Collins when she
left him that night. ut comes
as such a surprise"
But it had not come as a sur"
prise. Far from it. For months
she had worked for his proposal
of marriage and now that she
lad it she wasn't quite certain
that she wanted it.
She wakened to a typical
out of doors and indoors all the
Sunday in the flat. Gray skies

ness that Dodie knew so well
how to create. The radio going
in the living room, the perco-
1ator and toaster on the dining
room table beside a plate Of
sliced bread and a bowl Of but

ON CHARGE
|0F COUNTERFE|T|NG
Heart Specialist Accused
With German Air Ace
in Big Ring.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 5.-Dr. ".
Gregory Burtan, youthful specialist in
heart diseases, was held by secret serv-
ice agents today on a charge of counter
feiting. The arrest, made late yester-
day. was said to be in connection with
an international ring. of which Count"
Enrique Dechow Won Buelow, former
German aviator, is alleged to be a
leader.
Dr.. Burtan's arrest followed news
from Chicago that agents of the ring
had passed more than $25 900 bogus
money IN Loop banks. He was seized
as he entered his Office, whisked secretly
and then locked up.
Count" Under Arrest.
The count" was arrested Tuesday as
he alighted in Newark from a Montreal
plane, and Federal authorities said Dr.
Burtan also had been In Montreal, re-
turning yesterday by train. A search
of his clothes revealed $4,000 in bills,
but they were genuine.
Although secret service officials de-
clined to give out much information,
the New York Times said DR.. Burtan
was being questioned in an effort to
establish him as a man who accom-
panied Won Buelow to Chicago when
100000 of the bogus bills were car
ried there.
This man, authorities said, fooled
eight Chicago hoodlums in deal to
circulate the bills in Chicago.
Threatened by HoOdIums.
They had accepted the money, the
Times was told, on the representation
that it was good cash owned by New
York bootleggers, who were afraid to
pass 1t on in fear of income tax investi-
cation. Won Ruelow was to pay 80
per cent for the exchange of the old
style $1o0 bills for new notes, it is
charged. When the Chicago men
learned they had been duped they
threatened to take some one "for a
ride"
The counterfeit money was part of
an issue of $5o0,000 printed in Berlin
In 1929. Since then, authorities said,
it has been circulated in Mexico, Can
ada. Guatemala and other countries.

Laboratory tests show Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN provides "bulk" to eX-
ercise the intestines, and vitamin B
to help muscle tone. Also iron for
the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that of lettuce. Inside the body,
it forms a soft mass. Gently, 1T
clears out the intestinal wastes.
How much safer than patent
medicines. Two tablespoonfuls daily
are usually sufficient. With each
meal in serious cases. If not re-
