GOLD INCREASE
FOR ENGLAND

LONDON, Dec. 1S G.N.sO.-A
mysterious move to increase the
gold deposit Of the Bank of Eng
land by E65, 100000 was an.
nounced in the House of Com.
mons by Chancellor Of the Elk
chequer Neville Chamberlain.
Chamberlain refused to di-
vulge purpose Of the move, and
speculation rose that it might be
either in connection with the
exchange stabiliZation fund or
with reports France was seeking
Q British loan.
The chancellor said the bank
was authorized to make such an
increase in its gold deposits. In
order to prevent the increased
gold supply from resulting in a
sharp expansion Of credit, Cham.
berlain said the increase would
be only a temporary measure.

HARRIS VS.. HARRIS
i'm Chess CONTEST
ATTORNEY AND POSTMASTER
or
TO Play IN, NEXT
SERIES

Discussing the recent games of
chess which have been played by
devotees of the game in Key
West, Attorney w. Curry Harris
voiced the opinion that the next
series will be played between him
self and Postmaster Sam Harris.
Mr.. Curry said that the game
before Thanksgiving night, which
was played between himself and
Nestor Recio, was not what could
be called very satisfactorily con-
elusive, as his opponent resigned
when the game was just a little
more than half over.
Learning of this defeat Post
master Harris concluded that the
next series would necessarily, if
interest in the games is to be main
tanned, be played by the two Har-
ris experts as opponents.

you're one of the Warrens that have
been in the town since the year one.
I'll be glad to shake the dust of War
renton off my feet. It's time l went
and it's time took you with me-"
He looked at her steadily. Twill YOU
go with me. Sally? Will you marry
me and go away with me?"
1t was as simple as that, being pro-
poseL to. Sally forgot all hel romantic
notions of how and where one must
be proposed to. She saw only Terry,
boyish and excited, sitting opposite
her. asking her to share an adven-
turouc life with him.
I'll take such good care of you,
Sally" promised Terry. ''I'll make
money for U.s."
Sally felt great flood of gratitude
toward Terry. He wanted her to de-
pend on him-she, who had always
been depended upon. she who had
been the prop of her own family.
Il hnow you're above me, you've
got more sense than l have. but
well, I've been hoping you loved me
little" said Terry.
Il do. Terry" Sally said it TIM
idly, trying to be honest with herself
and Terry. Surely this warmth she
felt for Terry was the love one should
have for man one married.
DO you love me enough to 60 away
with Inc? Say you do, Sally"
The thought of leaving Warrentori
gave Sally little shiver of fear and
excitement. 1t brought back the MEM
DRY Of her responsibilities toward her
father and the twins. What would
the Warrens do without the help of
Sally's job?
Don't ask me that, yet" begged
Sally. I've got to have time to think.

Terry believed her and was happy
again full o. excited plans. Sally had

him. but now she knew in her heart
that what sha had said was true. Terry
would be leaving one of these days
sd she would have to decide whether
to go with him or stay behind.
