he had, and had received no answer,
there was little likelihood that he
would call again.
Besides, she could always find an
excuse for not seeing him.
With this decision made, Toby
slipped back into the old routine.
She was at home one morning, in
specting pair of sealed white
sandals and trying to decide wheth-
er or not they we're worth dyeing,
when the bell from the entrance
downstairs rang sharply.
TT must be the postman with a
a letter from Harriet. One letter
had arrived several days ago-a let
ter that described "Aunt Abigail"
Dinwiddie, Aunt Abigail's cooking,
her comfortable, old-fashioned home
and the little town of Plainsville, all
with equal enthusiasm.
Toby, anxious for more news. hur-
ried down the stairs. She opened
the door of the tiny vestibule--and
faced Tim Jameson.
Hello, Gorgeous" he said, grin
ming 1--WE given up trying to reach
you by phone. Decided to come my
self. Run upstairs and get your bon
net. You and I are going on a pic
mic"
How had he known that a picnic
would be irresistible?
I'D love it" Toby said, raising
shining eyes.
THE cars waiting and the lunch
is packed. Hurry up and get that
bonnet on"
Already Toby was on her way up
stairs. She called over her shoulder,
I'll hurry!"
She put on a dress of yellow linen
and tied back her hair with a yellow
scarf. She slipped on low, fiat
heeled shoes, caught up a sweater,
and was back.
The roadster at the curb was new.
Like it?" Tim asked grinning.
| CHE climbed inside and Tim took
- the wheel. Across the bridge to
Long Island. Along hot streets,
past looking buildings, with
the air gradually growing fresher,
less stiff1ing. On and on until pres
emily the ribbon of pavement was
bordered on either side with green.
On until there was the blue water
of the Sound and waves beating
against the shore and breeze that
was cool!
Tim unpacked the lunch--cold
chicken, salad, thermos of iced
coffee, magnificent chocolate cake
and fruit.
After lunch they fingered lazily
for while, then set off to "ex-
plore." When they were tired of
this they came back to the picnic
spot.
Toby settled herself comfortably,
leaning back against a tree and
staring off across the blue water.
Tim stretched out, full-length, pill
lowing his head on his arms.
Suddenly he sat up boldly. 81

happen to make him very displeased with you. You love him, I think"
 To this assertion Marcia turned a quiet, disinterested face.
 "This is it." Rosita paid the driver and started to a gray door.
 This? The jail?" But perhaps 1t was. Marcia remembered that she never had seen the French Jails.
 They entered a long room. Dim music came from somewhere and there were small tables with shaded lights. The ceilings were high and the rooms srnelled 4nusty.
 "The jail?" Marcia asked fearful suddenly.
 "Oh, but we are not going to the jail. We are going to wait here for Robert. Comep
 No, thank you---"
 T think 1t would be wise. Still, if you are afraid-" She turned to the doorman. Andre, the lady is leaving" The man bowed and open- ed the door.
 Seeing the street SO near, Mar cia changed her mind. After all, she could leave any minute. She sat down and ordered @ pot of tea with cream.
 When Q tall young man came to the table she was not surprised. She had half-expected to find Pierre somewhere near Rosita. She spoke coolly. The memory of his mouth on her own repelled any friendliness that might have started because half 6 dozen young people were in Paris in the late, warm spring. She disliked his hair, his eyes, his hands, all of him anyway, she reminded herself. Ughl
 When he had sat down, he smiled.
 You might like to see a little nemento of our first meeting"
 "A Ynemento?"
 The silly fool might have saved flower from her corsage, or Some- thing, thinking 1t would enchant her. "What about Robert Haskell7" she asked.
 MT. Haskell? Oh, he is probably having tea somewhere. Somewhere, wondering where you are"
 "The French jails serve tea2 How very considerate. And maybe they have little cakes and sandwiches, too" Her anger was mounting. She had let herself be duped by Rosita. Rosita, reading character, had known that Bob would be the type of man to get himself into trouble, innocently enough, and had used 1t as an ace card.
 "This will interest you" Pierre put 8 photograph before her.
 White with anger, Marcia gaZed at 1t. There was no niStakirg the two people in it. She was the girl and the man whose arms held her was Pierre.
 That picture without this is no good" Pierre talked on in . slip" pery voice that gave the impression of having been rubbed in oil. "And this one, which I shall show pre- sently to Mademoislle has need of the first one to establish the young lady's identity. Seel"
 He placed a second photograph on the table. The two people were the same. You could tell the girl by her clothes, and her hair and her profile. The man was implant- ing q kiss on her mouth.
 "You--you ." She would have torn the pictures in two, but rec membered, in time, that Pierre had tho negatives.

WAR ON SWAPPING
 TURTLE DECLARED
State Fish, Game COm- mission Starts Eradica.
 ton Drive

Hartford, June 26-A double- barrelled campaign to rid Connecti. cut waters of the wildlife.d destroying snapping turtle and at the same time furnish turtle meat to the needy is announced to-day by the State Board of Fisheries and Game.
 Game wardens throughout the state to-day are being supplied with scores of specially-designed hoop net tSrtie traps developed by Rob- ert c. Smith, of East Killingly, un- der board supervision.
 The traps are to be set in ponds and lakes in every county. Turtles caught will be given away with rec cipcs for turtle soups, stews and other dishes.
 The current turtle campaign Is the fifth in five years. In 1882, 1878 snappers were trapped; in 1883, 1909; in 1884, 1929, and last year 2,400 were taken, the board states.
 The total weight of the turtles caught amounted to 1io,4i0 pounds or nearly 60 tons. fSost of them were turned over to the unemployed and others for food.
 "snapping turtles" declares Sus perintendent Arthur |. Clark, "Arc among the worst deStroyers of fish, wild ducks and other aquatic wild. life in the state. They are said to consume nearly one-third their weight of beneficial wlldlife daily during the summer"
 The board announces the follow ing list of county game wardenS who will have turtles and cooking re. cipes for distribution: Charles Alls- house, 0ranby; Philip W. Deibert, Short Beach; W. 6. Watson, North Franklin; Charles R. Disbrow, Strat- ford; Thomas c. Daniels, MooSup; Seth J. Monroe, Litchfeld: Ray M. Birmingham, East Hampton, and Edward c. Wraight, Rockville.

CHAPTER VII


 At Camilla's exclamation of Ro- sita's name, Phil looked puzzled, and Bob gave long, low whistle. ''Rosita, of course" he said. "It all fits in. But why in the world should Rosita come for Marcia2"
 "rhat would be interesting to find out" Camilla said. Let's get . texicab and 90 to zenis."
 They did. Rosita was not there Tier night off," someone ex- plained.
 "Where does she live2" Bob asked.
 "That, monsieur. nobody knows, the man answered, with 6 careless shrug which indicated that one did not reveal addresses. Bob's hand went into his pocket. The man hesi- tated, then T11urmured an address on the Left Bank. He took the bl1l, bowed, and walked away.
 Wrong address, I'll bet" Phil iilIirmured. "But come on."
 They did. The cas- drew up in front of an old, low house, and a tottering old lady with frizzled gray cufis opened the door.
 'Tsosita?" she repeated. "Oh, yes RoSitaI She lives here, but she is not here tonight. She Is away for the day and night"
 Could you tell us where she is?' Bob asked.
 "That I cannot say. She left no address. I'm 50 sorry."
 Mind if we stick around until nhe comes back?" Phil asked.
 "But said that she will not be home tonightl"
 "Yes, we heard you, but 1t so happens that I think she will" His chtn was stubborn and his gray eyes were narrowed.
 "surely, then. Stay as long as you please"
 she opened the door and led them into . dusty, airless room. In half an hour, Phil stood up.
 "I'm afraid she wins. What about wotting the gendarmes2"
 "A good idea," Bob agreed. T don't trust RoSita."
 Marcia, in the meantime, had been surprised when Rosita's dark face with It's lacquered wings of hair had suddenly appeared in front cg her.
 Miss Cunningham, I should 50 like to see you," she said. Tt iS about Mir. Haskell"
 I'm sorry--that matter concerns you and Mir. Haskell, only She tg1ed to pass.
 "Oh no, mol MT. Haskell is in trouble. He needs you. Please" Tn troubic2 Where?"
 "The jail. It seems that there was Q light and bail was needed And-I came for you when I heard" There had been so many times when Marcia had come to Bob's aid that instinctivcly she listened to Rosita. More than once he had found that he did not have money enough to meet a check.
 Now, q little hesitantly, she turned and followed Rosita. The French girl summoned a cab and they started through the twilight.
 "Robert Is 50 careless" the French girl said.
 Marcia did not answer.
 "And such a warm heart" she continued. "He loves you, think Yes, I think he loves you very much. But he loves others. He would for- get"
 Why should he forget2" Marcia aSked them.
 Rosita shrugged her black-clad Nhoulders. "Oh--if something should

MONTH TRAFFIC
T|E-UP SEEN

WashingtonianS may expect q
tangled downtown traffic situation
for at least another month.
That Is the prediction Of Traffic
Director William A. Van DuZer,
who states that he expects the flow
Of traffic to speed up when traffic
lights are adjusted to the new
conditions brought about by the
new street car rerouting system.
The fact that construction work
is far from completed at Four
tenth and New York Avenue will
cause delays, but when traffic
lights are reset allowing more time
for the movement of north and
south traffic many Of the trying
conditions now in existence will be
removed.
Richmond B. Keech, acting
chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission, explains that until
the street car company gets its en-
tire schedule worked out and in
operation no one can tell just what
the recent changes will mean to
traffic.

BOWERS DUE
TO TAKE PART
INCAMPAIGN
BY EARL GOODWIN

Claude Bowers, U. s. AmbasSa-
dor to Spain, will leave his post
in that war-torn country next
month and return to the United
States to take q leading part in
the campaign to reflect President
Roosevelt.
This has been definitely learned
in high official circles. The in
formation sets at rest reports that
Ambassador Bowers has been dis
carded as a campaign speaker.
More than a year ago the Ad-.
miniStration campaign managers
let it be known that Mr.. Bowers
would come over to this country
for a campaign tour. Time passed
and Mr.. Bowers did not make any
move, and the rumor was spread
that he would not relinquiSh his
post. Now it appears that the
original plans are being carried
out and Mr.. Bowers will be here
in time to add his voice to the
campaign.
Revolt Not to Halt Plans
The fact that Spain is now in
the midst of civil strife will not
make any difference to the cam.
paign plans; the State Depart
ment will place the U. S. Embassy
in Madrid in the hands Of a sec
ond-in-command.
Claude Bowers is one Of the
most dependable Of the Demo
cratic orators and owes his post
in Spain to the keynote speech
he made at the Democratic ma
tional convention which nomi-
mated Gov. Alfred E. Smith eight
years ago. He is an orator Of the
old school, the kind who can
bring audiences to their feet with
lasting cheers, and he is likely
to be in the thick Of the fight
in the debatable territory in the
corn belt.
The fact that Ambassador
Bowers is to take part in the
campaign brings home the fact
that the Democrats are some
what shy of great orators. There
is no doubt that they will have
an army of speakers, marshaled
under the leadership Of Repre-
sentative Sam Rayburn, who is
to conduct the Democratic Speak
erS' Bureau at New York, but
there is q dearth Of the old-tirue,
silver.tongued speakers who have
made Democratic oratory famous.
There will be between 1000
and 1000 speakers for Roosevelt

labor unions
