proposed.
They knocked several times on the
door of Room ]. There was no re-
Spouse.
"Well be back" Hampton said cy-
nically. maybe she's dead too"
They went through the empty din
ing-room, and down short flight
of steps to lower passage. Hampton
led the way, and stopped at door
that was lettered-PLEASE KEEP
OUT-and knocked.
A voice from within beloved SER
les of incomprehensible syllables.
Listen" Hampton contended "You
can talk English, Mr.. Engineer. I
heard you talking to the mate. Be a
sport and let me in. I'm one of the
unlimited guesst on this yacht, and I
have certain suspicious that agree with
yours. We may be able to get to-
gether on them" He waited a few
seconds. Heard the man moving about
and became impatient. "Hey! Are
you going to let me in?"
care you alone?" queried a gruff
voice that sounded somehow differ
ent in English than in the other lam
guage.
"Sure," and Hampton whispered to
Chaplin, "Better for me to see him
alone. Go back to your room, and
I'll see you later"
Chaplin did not go back to his room
just then. He wanted time to think
over the things Hampton had told
him. Archie and the jockey were in
his room, and there would be another
argument. He leaned over the" rail
of the port side, and stared into the
black water. The rain had ceased,
but the sky was cloudy and cast a
gloomy reflection on the water. He
wondered who had suggested to Ar
HE that Hampton had thrown the
two bodies overheard. And if Mrs.
Glass believed it. Decided to go up
on the bridge and have a talk with
her.
Mrs. Glass was on the bridge. star
ing straight ahead. AS Chaplin open
ed the door she said: 81 wish I could
find that darned sextant by morning,
so that I can find out where we are
going"
"Can help you look for it," Cha
pin asked politely.
She turned, and her eyes rested un-
certainly on Chaplin for half min
ute. "If anybody can help anyone
in this mess, I'd be grateful" She
sighed heavily and continued to scrut-
inize Chaplin as though measuring
his ability. And added: 81 am not
the best navigator in the world. New
er did know where I was going in the
dark"
Couldn't your son relieve you?"
"He could if he wasn't too busy
thinking he's a detective. Can't blame
him for that. After what happened
today. Whoever could have killed
Daddy Hart? The poor, old soul
didn't have an enemy in the world.
Most generous hearted creature that
ever lived. And as if it wasn't enough
to kill him, some one had to throw
the body overheard"
"Do you know who did that ?" Cha
pin asked gravely.
eff I did, I'd choke him with my
own hands. Archie says that Hamp-
ton fellow has been running amuck.
He thinks he did it-but don't know
Hampton has violent temper"
Chaplin defended. "He's furious ma
turally, at the deal that's been hand
ed to us. But, even if he had the in
clination-which I am sure he hadn't

San Diego (UP)-The Califor- nia- Pacific International Exposi- tion, centered in a 1,400-acre park, with exhibits from all over the world, will open here June l, 1885, to run until March l, 1886, a citi- zens' committee has announced.
 Zack J. Farmer, manager of the 1882 Olympic Games in Los An geles, is advisor and general dircc- tor of the project, which will be the first great exposition on the Pacific Coast in 20 years. g
 1000 Planes to Fly
 About $5,O0O,O0O will be repre- sented in the exposition. In addi- ton to scientific and artistic ex- hibitions, visitors will see gigantic displays by the United States navy. One contemplated navy exhibition will be the flight in formation of more than 1000 airplanes.
 Cultural and artistic beauties of the southwest, including the San Diego Mission, first of those built by Spanish Friars on the Pacific Coast will be among tourist attrac- tions. The Scripps Institute of Oceanography, where studies of vast ocean phenomena are made, only institution of it's kind in the world, will be open to visitors.
 San Diego business men have been quietly working on the eX- position plans for more than a year. Finishing touches are being put on the $5,O00.000 exposition grounds and buildings, and nego- tiations for exhibits are under way on large scale.
 Other Shows Follow
 The local exposition will prob ably be the first of a series in Cali fornia, lasting for several years, and intended to stimulate recoV- cry on the coast. San Francisco, in 1887 or 1888, will follow with celebration of the opening of the worlds largest bridge, across San Francisco bay, and about the same time Los Angeles will celebrate complete of the world famous Boulder Dam and the Los An geles aqueduct.
 J. David Larson, for several years trade commissioner from the southwest to the Orient, Aus tra!ia and South America, has been named managing director of the c I i f ornia-Pacific International Exposition. A survey indicates, Larson says, an attendance exceed ing 4,000,00O. A previous eXposi- tion 20 years ago drew 2,000,030; but the southwestern coastal plains population, with more than 40 cities, has more than tripled since then.
 In connection with the exposi- tion, the priceless exhibits of the Natural History Museum, San Di- ego Museum, Fine Arts Gallery of San Diego, San Diego Zoologica Gardens (third largest in the world). and other exhibits of sci entific and cultural interest will be open to the public.
 Although cost of the local expo sition is being bore by San Diego's 165,000 citizens and business in- terests, the project has statewide

 Theodora nodded her under standing of how true all this could be, and Mrs Mccarthy added with pride, She's a bold one, and she almost had him. But shed her match in me. You got to watch thim blondes. They're divils. Ye have to smack them down and keep smackin' them"
 She was sorry the last inning began then, for she'd have liked to talk further on the subject. But this was healthy seed sown in her mind, anyhow.
 When she and Mrs Mccarthy had parted outside the Stadium, TheodoIa made for the nearest telephone booth. If Curtis had kept his intended schedule for the day, he would just about be get ting in now from Philadelphia. He'd told her last night, before the unpleasantness, that he was having to spend the day over there with his boss on some special job Tbut what if he'd gotten home early?> Why, he might even have been at the ball game. With that blonde!
 But he answered her ring. A note of joyful surprise was in his voice as he said, "Theodora ?' Then he became quickly defensive. She didn't wait to finesse. She'd been learning direct methods that afternoon.
 She said, Yes, i.'s l., and I've

 She got 1t through his head that she wasn't drunk, crazy, or suffer ing from a head injury, and made sure he understood he was to come over to her apartment as soon as he could.
 When she let him in he was wild -eyed. He caught the door out of her hand and slammed it shut. He clutched her by the shoulders, saying, Darling, darling, are you all right? Where were you. really? Tell mel"

 Between the eighth and the ninth, a stout, fiercely blondined woman a couple of rows ahead paused in her tanklike progress over legs and laps to the aisle and looking up at Mrs Mccarthy, called loudly, Its time you're get tin home, ain't it, Mary?

 To this jovially spiteful inquiry, Mrs Mccarthy chanted back at an imperturbale, The same to you.

 There was no fine point of the game that she didn't know; and she made minute by minute nota- tions on her score card with the stub of pencil. On one occasion both she and the adjacent profes- sor were on their feet shouting and pointing and Theodore felt out classed and kunbied that she didn't know what it was all about. She ventured a question when Mrs Mccarthy had pumped down sputtering.

URGES EXTRA TAX
FOR SPECIAL TAGS
Auto License Head to Ask
50-Cent Fee.

The "aristocracy of low license
plate numbers" is going to have to
pay for the privilege of being a Sc
lect few, if Frank Ffnney, state auto
license department head, has his
way.
Mr. Finney intends to suggest to
Gov. Paul v. McNutt that legislation
be passed fixing an extra fee of so
cents for special plate numbers. Mr..
Finney pointed out that the annual
rush to be among the comparative
few who get low numbers, entails
extra work for the auto license de-
partment.
His method would be to apply the
extra tax to all numbers between l
and 1900. Now, persons desiring any
particular number even over 1900,
may obtain it merely by making
early application.
