Shaken by agonizing doubts she re-
called that Martin James horse was
at least as big and as strong as Pet
er's Goldenrod. How easy it would
be to twitch over the bride and-by
one thrust of the shoulder-throw
Goldenrod off balance into the black
nav of the ancient mine shaft.
Shuddering, Helena shut her eyes
while the color reiterated from her
face like wave on long beach. Hor-
rified, she beheld a vision of Peters
golden bay staggering-of his reeling
sidewise, of steel shod heels vainly
lashing the air, as the frail wooden
barrier of the mine pit gave way. The
fall was all of seventy-five or hum
bred feet-had she not as child drop
ped pebbles into the chasm?
"Oh," she gasped. "Horrible-no!

Then the reaction came and, tremb-
ling in every limb, she forced herself
to sit down again.
cts imagination" she whispered.
'I'm all upset or I'd never think of it.
What nervous fool I am! The hunt
may not go near Llewelyn's Gap"
Still trembling, she listened to the
deep, bell-like tones Of the pack. She
knew they were circling, for every
sound that floated in through the win
dow was charged with meaning to her
ears.
Lets see now," she murmured, "the
fox is probably crossing the ridge. I
wonder if they'll lose him in that briar
patch by Knowles Rum"
In her minds eye the pale and
heart-weary girl could see every foot
Of the surrounding country; had she
not hunted it year after year until her
apparently hopeless love for Peter
Houghton had driven her abroad?
Responding to some inexplicable
urge she got up, and, seized by a
strange breathlessness, passed the
great fireplace, where charred logs yet
glowed, to fling wide open the window
and listen intently. Were the cries
of the chase veering towards Lew
elyn's Woods?
"Reynard's still running" she told
herself as the steady belling of the
hounds carried more family in from
the distance. "Ah, he's circled again,
making for the Knowles place"
Suddenly her trinity tailored fig
ure stiffened for, from afar, came the
sharp, angry yelping of the pack tell
ing her that they had overrun or lost
the trail. AS clearly as though the
scene were before her eyes, Helena
could see the master signalling back

the field, while he and the huntsmen
prepared to cast for the lost trail.
Ever so plainly she could see the flush
ed and excited hunt members refining
in their horses to exchange ventures
and suggestions. Would they find the
trail again? Would they draw Lew
elyn's Woods if that trail remained
lost?
Slowly the minutes licked by -.
then came the signal she had trembled
to hear, ringing blast of the hunts
mans horns which sent the whippers-
in to collect the pack for trip to the
next covert. With a pang of deadly
panicky fear, she realized what the
next covert would be-Llewelyn's Four
Corners! But perhaps the fox would
not break away down hill; sometimes
they didn't.
Her heart fluttering, Helena turned
and, before she quite realized it, was
running at top speed to the stables,
her fear mounting with each step.
Slowly the sureness of her first pres
eminent returned and cold hand
seemed to squeeze her heart. Some
where out among those tenderly green
hills Martin James must be sitting on
his horse, watching Peter with fierce
intensity.
Cold with fear, she sought the head
groom.
Jarvis" she demanded breathless-
ly but with a forced smile, "did Mr..
James say anything before he left?
He-he was going to leave message
for me"
Jarvis, twirling a dusty tweed cap
between hard, brown fingers, batted
his eyes before the girls pale beauty
and made an elaborate effort to think.

Confession of "Fraud''

DORCHESTER, England. May g.
Close friends of T. E. Shaw, famed as
Lawrence of Arabia, today waxed in
dignant over publication of an alleged
confession that his book, Revolt in
the Desert" was "a dishonest thing"
If Shaw wrote the letter made pub
lie by the Hoover Memorial Library of
Stanford University, these friends
said, it means merely that Revolt in
the Desert" is incomplete and hence
dishonest, as compared with his COM
plete story; Seven Pillars of Wisdom. I"
Shaw's honest work." it was stated,
was the privately printed "Seven Pill
lars of Wisdom" in which he set down
fully and without reservation his in
dignation resulting from the feeling
that British policy after the World
War was contrary to promises he
made the Arabs for their action in
the war.
Revolt in the Desert" Shaw's
friends recalled, was a drastic abridge-
ment of the bigger work produced
solely to earn money and recoup finan-
cial losses he had suffered.

W0BYRD SHIPS
LOAF IN POTOMAC
Vessels to Spend Tomorrow
Night at Quantico and
Arrive Friday.

Far ahead Of schedule, the two
historic ships of the second Byrd
Antarctic expedition today were loaf
ing in the broad lower Potomac
River while members of the expedi-
ton awaited the Nations tribute for
their achievements, to be paid them
here Friday evening.
The men of the expedition gaZed
wistfully at the green shores of Mary
land and Virginia. hungry for the
feel of home soil after two years in
the far frozen wastes where for a
year and a half they saw no green
thing nor even any earth.
Sledge dogs, despite the slow trip
across the tropical seas and the hot
equatorial sun, lolled around the
decks, painting under a warm May
sun. Penguins. formal in their quaint
fulldress, stuck close to their re-
frigerated brine baths. The two ex-
pedition cows and bull, born at
the edge of the Antarctic ice bar
rier, lowed plaintively over their hay
diet as scents of growing things came
to them on the Spring breeze.
The Bear of Oakland, 60-year-old
wooden icebreaker. which rescued
members of the Greely Arctic Expedi-
ton decades ago. and the high, STEEL
sided Jacob Ruppert-strange spec
tacles amid the curious fishing boats
of the lower Potomac which went out
to circle them-weighed anchor to-
day after a night at Piney Point, Md,
and resumed a very leisurely course
up the Potomac
The two ships, according to In
formation received by officials Of the
local Byrd Expedition headquarters,
may anchor again tonight somewhere
in the lower river. They are due to
reach the great Marine Corps base at
Quantico some time tomorrow after
noon and to spend tomorrow night
there.
At Quantico all the members of the
expedition will board the Bear, with its
bow of 8-foot-thick timbers, and will
continue to Washington, leaving ths
Rupert at Quantico. The Bear Is
due of Mount Vernon at 11:30 am.
tomorrow and is to tie up at the
Washington Navy Yard wharf at about
S pm. Friday, where the President,
members of his cabinet, officials OF the
National Geographic Society and other
dignitaries will be assembled to vel

and the long wandering members OF

Expressing the belief the chain let

today nevertheless sought to combat

PROGRAM READY
Allen Reveals Plans to Pro.
vide Jobs for $4,000
on Rolls.

"A complete program IOr DlSITlCt
work-relief under the Federal $4,000,-
100000 appropriation, providing for
steady employment for the $4,000 en-
| playable persons now on the District
relief roster, will be filed with Frank
C. Walker, director of the National
Emergency Council, probably next
week, by Commissioner Allen.
Abandoning reticence Self-imposed
several weeks ago, Allen today re-
vealed his whole scheme for the works
program here would be based on the
theory that projects must be fitted to
the employment needs.
This IS radically different from
proposals OF many State executives in
urging grants for construction Of
buildings and other Improvements,
where careful studies have not always
been made as to how many Of the
unemployed would be absorbed.
IL Classifications Announced.
Calculating his program on sssudies
made over several weeks as TO The
employment abilities of persons on the
District relief list, Allen announced
he had II classif1cations for projects.
These he made public, but the de-
tailed list Is to be withheld until fled
with Walker, who is in charge Of in
formation on the Federal works pro-
gram. The II classifications are:
Low cost housing, sewer system ex-
tension and improvement, highway
improvement. repair or enlargement of
school buildings, school ground i'm
provementS and probably building Of
Stadiums and other school recrea-
tional facilities, repairs and other i'm
provements for District welfare in
stitutions, projects for clerical per-
sons on the relief list, projects for
professional persons, production prof.
ects, such as hand manufacture of
mattresses, bedding and other things
which may be made in relief work
sewing rooms; improvements to Fed
eral department facilities here where
common labor may be employed. mis-
cellaneous labor projects and miScel-
laneous building projects.
1000 Are Unskilled.
Aliens concept of how the program
should work is based on his finding
that on the Washington relief list
there now are 1000 skilled workers,
$500 clerical and professional per-
sons, $500 domestics and approx
mately 1000 in the unskilled labor
class. OF the $4,000 cases there are
approximately 1000 women.
Commenting on the many sugges-
tions for building new schools and
other structures, Allen cited the fact
that there are comparatively few on
relief here who are skilled mechanics.
His proposal for a large low-cost
housing project, to be used as hous-
ing for persons on relief or those
having small incomes, is designed to
provide the necessary work for at
least most Of the mechanics he has
on relief.
This proposal recalled that some
months ago Allen had plans ready
for low-cost housing and had a check
in hand for nearly $4,000 when the
plan was summarily blocked by rul-
ing of Controller General McCarl
that the money could not be so spent.
He believes low-cost housing can be
done under the new work appropria-
ton act.

PRESIDENT WOULD
BRING SHIPS HERE
Plan of Mooring Historic
Vessels Along Sea Wall
Meets Strong Favor.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Washington was virtually assured
today of collection in the near fu-
ture of a number Of naval vessels Of
great historical interest, to be moored
along the Potomac sea wall for perma-
nent preservation. when President
Roosevelt let it be known he is strongly
in favor of this idea.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who is a lover Of all
ships, especially those which have fig
ured in the history Of this Republic,
while speaking on the subject at his
press conference today said, 1T would
be wonderful thing to have a num-
Der of those fine old historic ships here
in the National Capital. I hope the
idea will develop in definite form and
that this hope will be realized in the
near future, but doubt if it can be
done this year because Of . lack Of
money"
The President, speaking in advocacy
of this idea, said that among the ships
that he had in mind were the Con-
stellation, one of the earliest and most
formidable warships of the American
Navy, now at Newport, r. l., Navy sta
ton; the cruiser Olympia, Admiral
Dewey's flagship at the Battle of Ma
Mia Bay, now at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard, and the Hartford, which
served as Admiral Farragut's flagship
during the battle of Mobile Bay and
when he steamed up the Mississippi
during the Civil War, which is now at
the Charleston Navy Yard.
Frigate Not Mentioned.
The President purposely did not
include the famous old frigate Con-
stitution, which has been mentioned in
connection with this movement. This
historic vessel, which was virtually
rebuilt and put in its original form
with money raised by popular sub
scription. mostly by school children, Is
now at Boston, and the President init
mated that for the present, he would
not care to stir up any i'll feeling on
the part Of Boston citizens by taking
this naval relic from them and bring
ing it to the Capital City.
The President made it plain he had
given considerable thought to this idea.
He stated today the idea came to him
16 years ago when he was Assistant
Secretary of the Navy. He thought so
well Of it that he put it in writing
and submitted it to the naval COM
mittees of the two houses of Congress,
but nothing happened then. The
President appeared pleased today that
the idea has been revived by others,
and he spoke certain amount of
assurance when he said he hoped
something would be done some time
in the near future.
In his original plan Mr.. Roosevelt
suggested mooring these naval relics
along an embankment in the neigh
borhood of the Naval Hospital. He
said this custom has been followed by
England, and he suggested it might
be a good idea to charge small fee
of admission merely to pay for the
upkeep of these ships.
Sentiment Here Strong.
There is a strong sentiment in
Washington to bring old ships Of the
Navy of historical value here for
permanent preservation, and the feel
ing is that when the movement gets
well started. now that it is known
