"a self-seeking, vain"
"Why do you tell me this p,
Dirk said, but then he answered
his question. "Of course you
know Nora Lane was being only
kind to me. But what's become OF
the handsome, moon-struck opera
starr"
"Probably with the women and
children" Jane said. "When | left
! him l don't think | wanted to see
him again But suppose | shall. ("
She let her eyes rove about the
great lounge, seeking Tino Rossi
and she saw him where she had
expected to see him. He was hud-
died close to the boat-deck, with
group of passengers, his face
ashen with terror. He didn't see
anything.
"Tino" she breathed. His face
still carried the wild fear that had
repealed her when she had left
him at the onslaught of the storm.
Then she saw that under his
heavy coat Tino concealed a life
belt!
Of all the men on board Tino
Rossi was the only man who had
on life preserver. But Jane gave
him a chance to redeem himself
in her eyes. If he gave up his life
belt to this four-ycar-old she
could forgive him for lot.
With this mission in mind she
got up and approached Tino. Dirk
came after her.
Tino saw her, and tried to
smile, but his features were dis
torted with fear. "Do you think
the ship is breaking up?" he beg
ged, looking at Dirk. He stood up,
and Dirk "aw the unmistakablc
bulk of q life belt hid under
Tino's coat Dik'a eyes narrow

Jane said, "Tino. there's a little
girl Of four over there who hasn't

tic"
Several men had observed the
life belt now, and made, threaten
/ ing gestures. Tino quailed with
fear. Then there was an angry
mumur Of masculine voices which
rose above the sound Of pounding
waves out there on the, reef.
/ "No, | can't give it up" he
said, in a thin, agonizcd wall.
"The ships going to break up. A

about him, and began to look
around him furtivcly.
She was right. Tino was q COW

doors, flung them open with the
weight of his body and disappear
ed along the boat deck.
Jane cried out. on impulse. and
Dirk was the man who obeyed.
He lunged through the door onto
the deck. .''..''. !. H.
1t was weird manhunt the
passengers Of the stricken S. s.
Oceanic witnessed on the boat
deck. The waves still broke over
the bow and flowed along the
polished boards, rendering footing
difficult. 1t was almost impossi-
BILE for a human being to make
any Roadway against the wind.
Tino had a start, and was cling
ing to the rail, pulling himself
hand over hand against the wind.
His progress was Incredibly slow
as the rivers of water sucked
ABOUT his legs, but Dh'k's progress
was not much faster.
Dirk was in a cr0uching posi-
ton, head down, making his way
into the wind, trying to keep in
the Ice, He struggled up the cab
in wall, occasionally holding on
to a demolished dcck-chair in its
lashings.
1t was like a pursuit in slow
motion. Tino's face was white and
drenched with spray, and agoniz-
cd Dhk's was drenched but grim.
A false hand-hold, one bad step
would lose for either in the race.
Tino lost his footing first, and
wave coming down the deck left
him floundering like mad in the
middle of the floor. Somehow he
scrambled to his feet, and got
hold of q deck-chair before he
was swept away.
Dirk was close behind him,
moving cautiously now. far,. he
saw that Tino. firing rapidly in
this strenuous work, was clutch
ing his gun mcm2cin2ly.
The lights were dim on deck.
Tino plunged into band of
blackness, and Jane saw the vel
low flash and then heard the bark
Of the gun.
One expected every minute to
hear that the ship was breaking
up on the reef, but to Jane this
chase and dcath-grip was agony.
She realized now what Dirk real
~ meant to her. She loved him!
She had been mad to let him go
out there after Tino. Tino had q
gun, and he was SO racked with
fear that he was desperate.
But with her face glued to the
pancs. she saw that Dirk was on
the floor, rising on his hands and
knees, unhurt.
In this moment of relief James
thoughts raced along an limpos-
sible channel. Her mind was dou-
bly, alert; she correlated past
events, time and place, like a
drowning person. All in u flash.
After moment she turned TO the
detective and said. "Now | know.
| know. Tino ish't just q coward,
afraid to give up his life belt to q
little girl. He's the murderer. He's
the one! Tino killed Mannie Jack.

telling the whole world that the
de luxe cruise ship Oceanic was
fast on a reef, and at the mercy
Of the hurricane.
When the passengers knew il
had happened, their plight was
! different. Nothing mattered now
but the saving of lives. Word
came down that the ship was not
sinking, but all passengers were
to be prepared to take to the
boats. They knew, that lifeboats
would crumple up like paper on
the surf-beaten reef. Members OF
the crew were marshaling them
into order, where they remained
miserably huddlcd together, and
clutching their life preservers.
After the shock the orchestra
kept on playing. Ken Martin sang
/ and his songs were for Linda

looking up at him, their love TIL

Still no report came down from
the bridge, though the crew was
standing tensely by at stations.
But the passengers had no doubts
about the intensity Of the hulli-
cane which held the ship il its
turbulent grip. Water was break
ing over the bow, drenching the
boat-deck, flowing off over the
rail like a tOrrential flood.

CAccOrding to
Izaak WGLtOn)

Fishing in Florida at Miami and
Everglades is now excellent and
the weather is warm but not hot.
At night you can sleep comfort
ably, or if troubled with insomnia
or a bad case of "fiShitiS," you can
fish for husky sharks that will
give you real battle.
The writer has just returned
from a weeks fishing at the above
places and had the time of his
life in the company of the follow
ing: Charles Jackson, Deputy Com
missioner of the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries Bill Briggs, District
agent, Eastern Air Lines; Charles
Duffey, city editor Washington
Herald; Ralph Palmer, city editor,
Washington Daily News; George
Huber, Evening Star; Jack How
ley, Washington Post; James Irr,
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; j. Ham
mond Brown, Baltimore News Post;
Kilbourne Castell, Potomac Cour-
Ter; C. c. Clark and Oliver Atlas.
The party flew down and back
in the Eastern Air Line Fisher
mans Special and, judging from
the number and size of fish landed,
Washington should be flooded
with stuffed fish for the next
few months. While tarpon fish
ing at Everglades Rod and Gun
Club, Charles Duffey, of the Wash
ington Herald, caught a 78-pound
tarpon, thereby winning a greatly
coveted silver button. The same
day Ralph Palmer, with a A
pound tarpon, won a bronze but
ton awarded by the Izaak Walton
Club of Everglades, Fla. While
waves of heat settled on the
Nations Capital, we anglers en-
joyed moderate weather.
With uneXcelled hospitality, Mi
ami showed the visiting ScribeS
fishing that left nothing to be
desired. We fought and landed
tarpon, sail fish, bonita, shark,
grouper, jew fish, blue runner,
mutton fish, shook, barracuda,
dolphin and Mangrove snapper.
Over 500 varieties of fish inhabit
these waters and unquestionably
the best time to fish for them is
from April to December.

Concentration, say Walter Ha
gen, is the most essential element
of a great golfer.
He was discussing Gene Sara
zen.
"Sarazen," continued Hagen,
"can make himself concentrate.
"And concentration is the
greatest factor in tournament
play.
"They can change clubs and
the ball and the. courses, but
the same mental quality is
needed today as was essential
in 1913, the year / played in my
first U. S. Open.
WHY THEY LOST
"There were 30 players at
BaltuSrOl who had the mechani-
cal equipment to take the tour
nament. But most of them
couldn't keep concentrating for
" holes. They couldn't dis
miss q bad shot as soon as it
was made and keep their
minds focused on the next
shot.
"I could really concentrate
once, but 1 slip slightly now
upon occasions.
Mechanically, I'm playing
better than 20 years ago. For
five or six holes, go swell, then
muff an easy shot. My mind
slips, something diStractS my at
tentiOn. 1 can concentrate on
the tough shots, but my atten.
ton slides away on the easy
ones"
BOBBY JONES HAD 1T
"BObby Jones had the faculty
Of concentration to a greater de-
gree than any other golfer.
When he won the National
Amateur at Braeburn in 1928,
one of his drives knocked a spec
tatOr flat, but BObby's attention
was all on his next shot, which
was perfect.
