there, it's not coming up until I'm on deck.
Get it? So don't try double cross"
Finch and the Greek just looked dumb.
Finch lowered the helmet and screwed
it tight. They tested the phone and the
pumps, and everything seemed okay. Terry
asked for crowbar. He saw Finch give the
order to the Greek, and the Greek handed him
the bar. Then the Greek lowered him.

Old Lawson said then, Follow it back"
Then, throwing in the clutch, Finch brought
the ship about, and headed her back. The
Greek was leaning far out over the bow. Sud-
denly he began shouting at the top of his
voice. "Hey! Stop! She's here! Right below.
Hey. back her up!''
Finch braced himself, and gave the tug
full speed astern. When he got the signal
from the Greek, he threw out the clutch.

He went out on deck then and looked over
the side. The Amarillis was there all right,
at about six fathoms. He could see her white
side glimmering in the water below. As to the
depth, the job was a cinch.
Stepping back from the rail- Terry looked
about. He wasn't going to be left on the

So that was it. The Greek was burning old

that Terry had come to.

Danger beneath the sea and hsachey ab0Ds
(onclaAng a story Of gold and h0e under Bahama s
by CHARLES BROMFIELD
SUMMARY OF CHAPTER l


GGVYYE GOT nice proposition. The two
w disreputable'lookins men had come
up to Terry McGovern, as he was
removing his diving helmet. He had just
finished raising lighter which had foundered
in the Bay.
What is it ?" he asked.
In cafe facing the waterfront, Finch and
the Greek told him. They had learned, while
they we're rum running, that the yacht
.4mariHis lay wrecked off an isolated island in
the Bahamas. The same vessel that had left
New York with $8O0O0O in currency and
gold. and never been heard from since A
fortune was waiting for him who found it first!
1t sounded good to Terry. They agreed to
split four ways, one for each of them, and one
for an old man on nearby island who, the
Greek and Finch believed, could show them
the reef which had sent the yacht under.
Strange things happened to Terry when they
reached Bahama waters - not the strangest
of which was the sudden appearance on his
tug of a golden-haired girl who told him:
You must go away" She explained that her
grandfather, with whom she lived on shore.
had acted queerly ever since he had helped
bury the dead from recent wreck. Hell
shoot at any stranger" she warned.
And as Joan Lawson was talking, Finch and
the Greek brought in the hostile old man -
struggling against them and shrieking that
they had come to rob him.
Don't worry" Terry bade the girl that
night. Sleep in berth above your grand
father if you can. Call at any sign of danger.
shall be near
He was awakened by her screams. On the
deck he was met by Finch with drawn revol-
yer. We're not waiting any longer for the
old man to make up his mind " Finch told him
grimly. Some other outfit might show up."
The Greek was tying old Lawson and c,us-
ing at him for refusing to disclose where the
AmarHliS had sunk. The girl was crying out
in protest; suddenly the Greek gave her a
blow on the head. This was too much for
Terry. He let the Greek have one behind the
ear. Then it was lights out for Terry.
Evening star., 1935-10-20

His face was contorted in pain. and he was
looking back taking bearings from the land.
The Greek struck match then and held the
flame under the old mans hands. Lawson
screamed. The Greek chuckled and said, "You
sure?"
Terry shouted, Finch, he's doing all right.
What do you want3"
Finch said, II want you to dive"
Terry rolled over and looked at Joan. Her
slender body was shaking with sobs. He
couldn't bear it.
"An right, I'll dive"
Turning, he told the Greek to get the old
man some rum. Lawson had passed out. He
hung against the ropes like an empty bag.
The Greek brought the bottle and forced the
neck between Lawson's teeth. Presently the
old man coughed. His eyelids began to futter,
and suddenly he stood up with jerk.
Straight ahead!' he cried.
He was scared clean through. A second
later he seemed to get hold of himself.
Looking back at the land, he shouted, mo,
weigh enough, let her drift
Finch threw out the clutch then The Greek
raced all over the ship, hating briefly to
lean far out over the side. The tug lost head
way and at last came to STOP Finch turned,
"Well?"
The old man said, "Do you see the reef"
The Greeks voice came back family.

Not the Best" Now

In the course of his inaugural address of last Thursday Governor Cross had oc casion to recall visit that Charles Dick ems once made to Hartford He said i'll part, "Though Dickens was in general very critical of humane and penal instl- tutions as they then existed in England, he was lavish in his praise of our insane asylum, our institution for the deaf and dumb, our very well-ordered state pris- on and the Hartford jail which he de- clared to be the best jail for untried prls- oners in the world"
 Wonder if MT Dickens would say the same thing about that Hartford jail if he were to revisit it to-day. It is admittedly among the worst of our county lnstitu- tions. And it is one of the reasons why Connecticut is turning away from the county jail and inclining toward the jail farm idea, as expounded by Chief Justice William M. Maltbie and other associates And some of our other institutions are at the point now where they must be given treatment ere they break under the strain. Perhaps that's why the governor inserted this bit of f1attery from Dickens in the midst of paragraph dealing with instltu- kional needs.
 We have many things to do in order to bring our program of institutional expan- sion up to 1885. It is going to cost the state pretty penny to do 90. But it's something that must be done. It can't be neglected as it was for many years when republicans were boasting about the ilnan- cial rating of Connecticut and it's ability to pay-as-it-went. This reputation was achieved by directly ignoring the demands for institutional expansion which were as vital ten years ago as they are to-day. To tackle them now imposes difficulties n view of declining state revenues Yet we haink the 1885 Legislature will do more iD tIle way of looking out for our institutions then all that went before 1t.

Public Debt Is Your Debt

. You owe $385. You don't? Oh, yes, -you do! That's your share of the $40,- -cO0, ,O0O, ,O00 debt of the federal state, and -local governments of the country. You . may think you're square with the world :. and owe no man anything, but you're not ----so long as these public debts continue to -mount. It's claim against everything you own or ever hope to own
 : The federal government debt is now -about $28 8,000,0 100000 Git will soon be 1884, ,00O, ,000, ,OO0) and local governments sowe 2O,O0O, 100000. Nobody else is ever going to pay it but you. But it isn't so bad. If you were Britisher, you'd owe ~$991 in the same way. If the World war had gone on another year, you'd probably owe more than you do now.
 Treasury figures reducing these debts ito terms of the individual citizen are for -tunate, because they bring home a thing that people are apt to forget about public debts. Really, there isn't any such thing as public debt. A public debt is simply a collective debt of all of US, and as long as it exists, no man is debt free. DO you own a home? It isn't debt-free even though you've paid for it in full. Have you money in the bank? It isn't solely yours-the public treasury has a potential claim for $385 against it.
 Do you draw wages or a salary! It isn't all yours for certain until these public debts are paid We're too apt to think of the public treasury as some sort Of in- exhaustible fountain pouring out gold from mysterious source. There's noth- ing mysterious about it. It all comes out of your pocket and the pockets of your neighbors.
 And that's true quite regardless of what kind of taxes is used to raise the money. Income taxes, tariff levies, production tax .es, sales taxes, gas taxes, cigaret taxes, amusement taxes, liquor taxes-they all come from one source in the long run, the only source there is-the pockets of the people who work to produce either goods or services. All that is not saying the money shouldn't be spent. The best authorities agree that the country col Iectively can carry far heavier debt than we are now carrying. Probably 1t must. /, But every man, woman and child has "a direct interest in seeing that the money is well spent and that we got something Of permanent value for the money. That is one of the principal thoughts behind the presidents plan to spend it for produc- tive work rather than just dishing it out. It's not how much you spend-its what you get for your money. So the next time you hear of bilion-dollar appropria- .tion, think of yourself. That's $8 out of my trousers pocket. Is it worth it?"

 -Dr E. r. Felt of the Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories Of Stamford, Conn, gave very good program for owners of elm trees, in part as follows:
 l. Cut and burn nli sickly, dy- Ing or dead elm wood, either branches or trees. This work should be completed by early April to keep down the number of elm bark beetles breeding places.
 Z. Should brown discoloratiop be observed in the campium or new wood of the pruned limbs or branches, specimens should lie sent to local or other authorities accompanied by detailed informa- ti0n clearly indicating the location of the tree from which the mas teriai was taken.
 2. A dormant oil spray should be applied to clins showing infeg- tatiOn by scale insects, since this destroys the pests and increases tree vigor.
 4. Spray in May with arsenate of lead and where the best pr0- tccti0n is desired, add also Bor- deaux mixture. Time the appiica- tions to give effective control of canker, worms or elm leaf beetles where these insects are abundant.
 Healthy trees are paramount in areas threatened by the Dutch elm disease.
 Tn the East the disease has in- yaded New Jersey, parts of New York, Maryland and Connecticut. Control areas now exist in Green wich, stamford, NOrwaik, Darien, New Haven and New London. But the small bark beetle, the known carrier of the disease, has wings, and is no respector Of the boundary lines of personal prop erty or towns.

 Thc Dutch elm disease is caused by parasitic fungus which lives and develops in the sap wood un- dcrneath the bark. It has been called "Graphium UImp and re- gently has been found to be the immature stage of an Asoomyccte that is known as "ceratostomella Ulmi." The only known earriefUf the disease in the United Statds is small brown elm bark sbeetle, Scoiytua MbltistitatpB, which is about ne-cighth of an inch long that br. eds only iu dead or dying trees. The adut beetles 'emerglng from the diseased trees carry with them the fungi. They hatch out from early summer until autumn. While these, beetles only lay their eggs in dead or dying elm wood, they ordinarily feed upon the cam- plum layer Of young fwfgs. They generally chew through the bgrf to the campium region at the cr0tches and then cut q short tuD- mel which usually follows the cur. yatuge Of the crotch. IT. this way the healthy tree is inocuiated with the disease fungi. The disease usually works rapidly from the top of the tree to the roots. In the acute form the younger leaves of the twigs wilt first and the wilt ing extends rapidly until the cn- tire tree is involved and the branches beconfe defoiiatcd.
