other Graces in the world. In fact,
the name was not uncommon.
Footsteps sounded on the deck, and
he crumpled the letter, and showed it
into his pocket, and sat back on the
bed.
Someone walked past the door and
kept on. He returned to the desk and
pulled upon the top drawer. Several
stiff sheets of paper, folded and held
together by an elastic band, covered
SMALL leather folder that contained
newspaper clippings. He loosened the
stiff papers, and noted that they had
the appearance of legal document.
Other footsteps along the deck were
audible. Someone stopped outside the
room door. He had just time to con-
ceal the papers in an inside pocket
Of his coat and drop back on the bed,
before key grated in the lock, and
the door opened.

Archie, grab Chaplin. Well have no

Chaplin made quick lunge toward
Dupont, but Archie sprang forward
and overpowered him. Ryder closed
in with few wild punches, aimed at
Archie, and Grace Devin clawed male
violently at Dupont, scratching his
wrists.
"You little hell-cat!" Mrs. Glass
yelled, forgetting her tears. She
caught hold the girls sleeve, and shook
her roughly.
Grace scratched at her, but the old
ed woman managed to get hold of both
wrists, and dragged her forcibly down
the deck.
In the midst of this scuffle, one of
the crew emerged from the region of
the quarterback, and stood gaping.

men came leaping into the fray. Du-
pont released Hampton into the clutch
es of the first man. The other two
attacked Chaplin and Ryder. Mrs.
Glass continued to propel Grace down
the deck, struggling.
In less than three minutes, the four
were locked up in separate rooms.
Chaplin, somewhat bruised and dis
hevelled, found himself in a strange
room. He heard Dupont's voice, with
staccato infection, babbling the
strange words of the lingo used by
the crew, for a moment OF two, heard
the men walking away, and then every
thing was quiet. His head throbbed
miserably. In the excitement of swift
ly moving events, he had forgotten the
headache. He stretched out on the
bed, YEARLY, and his eyes strayed alb
sently over the room.
A mans shirt was tossed over one
chair, pair of trousers over an
other. Two pair of shoes had been
pushed under the dressing table.
Brushes and other accessories were
scattered about. And suddenly Chap

been put there in error. And began
by ransacking the desk.
A few blank sheets of paper and en-
velopes filled the cubbyholes, and I'M
der these, in one of the recesses, he
came upon letter addressed to Ar
chic Montgomery-12 Vineland Street,
Brooklyn, N. Y. He fumbled with the
envelope, and drew out folded sheet
of paper, and grinned, thinking what
good opportunity this was to do a
little detective work on Archie.
The sheet of paper was filled with
closely lettered writing that looked
like woman's. He turned the sheet
over, for the signature, and discov-
cred the word "Grace." Flipped it
over again and read: Darling: I
am afraid that something drastic will
have to be done before your grand

CHAPTER Nv

AT half past one o'clock, a brown
skinned man, clad in blue uniform
beat rhythmic tattoo on huge brass
gong, and luncheon was served.
The four shanghaied guests appear
ed nattily dressed in new clothes. Mrs.
Glass, still wearing knickers and shirt,
cast cynical eye over the group, and
glowered speculatively, at the clothes.
But, she made no remarks.
Archie led off the conversation, by
asking: what time do we get back
to New York, Mother?"

think that that dumb dumb mate has
lost the sextant. l can't find it any

"Then go up and wrangle with that
heathenish mate" she snarled. make
him find the seXtant"
A long uncomfortable silence fol-
lowed, and as the coffee was served,
Archie said: by the way, where are
you keeping the bodies?"
We took the captains body to his
quarters. Your mother ordered Mr..
Chaplin and Mr.. Hampton to place Mr..
Harris body in Room B." Dupont re-
piled, stiffly.
"But, l looked in the captains
quarters and l looked in Room B, and
they are both empty" Archie declar-
ed.
Mrs. Glass stood up, excitement
blazing in her eyes. whats that?
What did you say?"
Il said that Captain Ogly's body

Archie nodded, and reached for an
other piece of cake.

room. The others followed, Archie

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-While any
calculation involves gueSswork, ad-
ministration of the National Re-
covery Act has added over 10000
pages of new law" in one year, and
the financing of NRA administra-
ton costs American industry at
least 100000, 900 annually. Gilbert
H. Montague, New York attorney,
estimates.
Mr.. Montague is chairman Of
committees on NRA of both the New
York State Bar Association and the
Merchants Association of New
York.
The American Bar Association"
he said, estimates that the trade
practice provisions of 495 codes and
95 supplemental codes prohibit be-
tween 4,500 and 5000 methods Of
business conduct, with each code
and supplemental code averaging
ten close y printed pages and hav-
ing the force of an act of congress
with violations being criminal Of
Tense.
Last June the National Indus
trial Conference board reported that
the total annual expenditure repre-
sented by sixty-four reported code
budgets amounted to $11 500 $40, or
an average Of $181 ,2O2 for each in
duStry.
Using this average as a basis, ID
was estimated that the adminiStra-
ton of all NRA codes, including
those approved, pending or supple
mental, might be expected to in
crease the total cost to at least
$1OO, 100000.
Hundreds of business men, hav-
ing complied with every provision Of
every code that they ever thought
applied to them, are awakening to
the unpleasant realization that they
are today in peril of criminal pen

u. s. SECURITY
COST IN YEAR
is 100000
SEC Has Staggering Cash
Needs; More Work
Planned.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The
governments security business regu-
lation probably cost 100000 an
nually-about four times the cur
rently expected federal revenue from
the program-the United Press
learned today.
Heavy cash needs of the securities
and exchange commission, which is
handling the regulation, became
known today when plans were
drawn for an elaborate increase in
its activities.
The multitude of data and pains
taking detail necessary to regulate
the vast security business, it was
learned, has resulted in steps to in
crease the commission personnel
to at least 800, compared with earlier
estimates Of about 300.
Assumes Supervision
Complete supervision of the ma
tons security markets and most Sc
curities was assumed by the COM
mission Monday. The agency is
charged with enforcing various fed
eral bans on manipulation of stock
market prices, pool operations and
other now unlawful practices.
Because of the previously unfor-
seen wide scope of the commissions
activities, it was reported that the
agency, in current budget hearings,
would ask at least 100000 for its
first years operations.
The commission already has avail
able approximately 100000; repre-
senting a 100000 appropriation by
the last congress and the transfer of
about 100000 from the federal trade
commission.
100000 Security Revenue
Wall street estimates today placed
the maximum in new security rev.
enue to be raised under the Secur-
tiles act at only 100000, or about
a quarter what it will cost to run
the commission. A tax of 1900 of l
per cent is levied on the value of
all stocks and bonds traded on reg
istered exchanges and registration
fees are charged for new issues of
securities.
These figures were based in part
on an estimated turnover on the
New York Stock Exchange of $685.
100000 shares annually at $25 per
share, and bond sales of 1926, 000,-
900 at 80 per cent of par value.
1t was learned today that the
SEC was making rapid strides to
set up branch offices in leading
cities and send investigators into
various forms of field work.
Branch Offices Considered
Under consideration for branch
offices are Boston, Chicago and San
Francisco, leading speculative cent
ers of the country. In addition, a
branch may be established at either
st. Louis or Kansas City. Field
men already are at work Investigate
ing activities of various small stock
exchanges which have asked to be
exempt from operations of the
securities act.
Meanwhile SEC officials have be-
gun a close watch on Wall street
activities with installation in their
Washington headquarters of a gen.
eral news ticker, financial ticker
and New York Stock Exchange and
bond tickers.
