If you're bound to be fool, I might
as well take your money as anyone.
And there, for months, the matter
rested. Winter settled down. Snow
banked against the safe; ice sheathed
it; it rusted in the February sun.
When the frost came out of the ground
in the spring. the safe threatened to
settle into the mud. so Bob had to lay
platform of heavy oak planking just
above high tide. and move the safe a
few feet till it rested there secure. 1t
remained there, landmark, an eye
sore and challenge. Spring passed
and summer came.
But if Bob did not dispose of the
safe, he did use the motorboat. Dur
ing the winter he had repaired and
painted the hull, and tuned the en-
gine; and in June he began to make
all-day trips down the Bay. Nancy
sometimes went with him, and once or
twice Doc Fillmore and Mrs. Fillmore
Joined them and they stayed two or
three days. camping overnight on
some lovely island.
Jenk watched these proceedings
with a lively resentment. He ap-
preached Bob with an offer to repur-
chase the motorboat. Thought I'd
use it for fishing trips down the Bay"
he said. IF you've mind to SELL"
Bob said cheerfully: "Why. you
know me. Jenk. I'd sell my right leg
If the price was right"
well. the boat amt worth it. but
Ill give you two hundred"
'.Sho" Bob protested. I've put a
lot of work on that boat. Jenk. Worth
more'n you think, to me. I've had a
lot of fun out of it. too. And Nancy
likes to ride in it,
well, what's your prop 'sition?"
Bob said seriously: "Why-I'Il tell
you. Jenk. Ill sell you the motorboat
and the safe together for thousand
dollars"
''The safe? What would l want :"
"They 60 together" Bob said in
fexibly. They came to me together
and they 60 together, Jenk."
'I1l tell you where you can Co."
said Jenk, and did; and stalked away.
But week later Jenk heard that
Bob was loading the safe upon that
old lighter he had acquired two years
before; and he went down to the water
front to see for himself whether this
were true. Bob was there. bossing the
job.
Going to give her an ocean voyage
for her health. Bob?" Jenk asked.
Bob shook his head. mo, I'm about
ready to take her out and sink her."
he declared. Sick of looking at the
blamed thing setting here"
This was bait, but Jenk did not rise
to it. How'll you float the lighter off
the mud. if you do get the safe aboard
her" Jenk challenged: and Bob
looked at him innocently.
why. never thought of that" he
said. Jenk snorted wrathfully and
turned away.
But when the safe was aboard, Bob
hooked hose to a power pump and
pumped the lighter dry. High tide
floated it. The loading had been well
and neatly done; the lighter rode on
an even keel, and Bob anchored it a
hundred yards off shore.
Jenk was uneasy at the sight. He
drove down to the waterfront half
dozen times a day to watch for de-
velopments; but from Saturday
through Tuesday nothing happened.
The safe on the lighter swung to its
mooring with the tide, but that was
all.
Till Wednesday. Wednesday morn
ing the lighter and the safe had dis
appeared. Jenk made inquiries on the
steamboat wharf; but no one there
could answer his questions. The lighter

'Stole it? Say. who would . ="
Jenk heard her chuckle. and said
angrily: Kidding me, eh?"
why, I wouldn't do that, Jenk."
So Jenk hung up, resentfully. But
curiosity still drove him. He tried to
find Bob; discovered that Bob. too, had
disappeared. A dismal doubt began
to beset the man.
Friday night the Coon Club met,
but Bob had not returned, nor was
there news of him. With dinner half
done, Bob arrived.
He came in through the kitchen
door, and he was haggard and weary
for sleep: but he wore good nature
like garment.
Got just time to eat bite" he
told Will Morley. 'I'll have to run
along then, to keep a date. I had to
see Jenk, or I wouldn't have come"
And he looked at Jenk with humble
eye. "Jenk." he said, about that bet
of ours - you knowahat l wouldn't
make a profit on the safe - how'll
you dicker?"
Jenk felt a great relief leap in him.
Clearly. Bob was beaten; sought for
mercy now. mo dicker." he retorted.

then. You and me, we can't afford to

Jenk said triumphantly: 1T was
your own proposition. You'd ought to
have thought of that before"
''Mebbe I had" Bob dolefully ad-
mitted. But we were all sort of jok-

Bob sighed. ''Well, all right" he

Jenk snorted incredulously. What
would woman want that safe for?"
And Bob explained: ''Why. it was
like this. heard tell that Mis- Win
ship had been getting prices on burial
vaults; 50 l went to see her and told
her about the safe. Told her it'd make

MORCENTHAU DENIES THE CHARGES MADE BY HOOVER
 ABOUT FED. BOOKKEEPING
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, IS suing a denial of Herbert Hoov CTS charges that the administra ton had "juggled fiscal reports, Secretary Morgenthau said that the former presidents statements might injure government credit if permitted to go unchallenged.
 Morgenthau denied Hoover's s assertion in his Philadelphia ad dress criticizing the methods of keeping the government fiscal re ports. Morgenthau denied Hoov er's assertion that the treasury was keeping a system of double bookkeeping, separating the em ergency from the ordinary or routine government expenditur eS.
 Morgenthau said two classified tions were adopted in July 1883 to show the public the purpose for whcih appropriations were us ed, saying that the treasury does not ordinarily answer statements about government expenditures made in the heat of political cam paigns.
 Morgenthau added, when, how ever, a former president of the United States, in public address charges the treasury of the Un tied States with intellectual dis honesty and pernicious deceit, public interest demands that those charge be not ignored"
 The secretary of the treasury said: "the facts are that the treas ury accounts are kept strictly in accordance with the law and are not based upon any partisan pol itical considerations"

:332 PASSENGERS SAIL ON VICTORIA TODAY
 BPM FOR SEATTLE

The S. s. Victoria, veteran liner of the Alaska S. S. Company, sailed from Nome at 300 P M today on her last voyage South from here for Seate for the of navigation of 1936
 Loaded with about 332 passengers, reindeer meat and gold bullion, the veteran Vic has made 251 voy ages in the service of the Alaska Line most of them to Nome and Boring Sea and Kotzebue Sound ports.
 Word to Agent Harnish yesterday evening declar ed the steamer would again resume her regular Der ing Sea schedule after modification of two years.
 This objective has been sought by shipper through out the Seward Peninsula, for some time past. It was learned that one shipment of gold bullion totaed approximately $371 000 but due to explicit in struction prohibiting the transfer company from releas ing information regarding gold shipments, it is imposs ibe at this time to determine the full shipment aboard the vessel representing the final cleanups from of mining camps scattered over Seward Peninsula However, it is believed that the shipment might have totaled about three quarters of million dollars less. In this respect however, your guess is good ours, and the definite figures cannot be ob- taned at this time.
 Following is the complete passenger list of the Vic toria which sailed today:

She didn't wait for his answer. Half ashamed, half glad, she hur- ried away. Therefore, she did not know that the man stood where she had left him for a minute before he motioned to the porter to stow his knapsack in taxicab.
 Good thing you're clearing out, my lad he told himself. "You couldn't take much more of that without making a fool of your self"
 It was late that same afternoon that Marcia definitely refused Bob.
 You're the. handsomest man I know, with one exception she told him. You make love divinely and hope you'll ask me to tea sometimes. But marriage, Robbie I'm afraid not"
 "As you say, of course" He didn't plead his suit and she won dered if perhaps Camilla was catering to him. Camilla had money, too more even than she had.

 She did not sail, though. The Paris Tribune carried Q message that delayed her going. It announced that Camilla's fathers fortune was gone. Knowing that 1t was tottering, he had taken a wild gamble--and lost. The state- ment was brief and terse. Camilla, though, was no longer wealthy.
 "Oh, the poor child Marion Creighton, who was Marcias host- ess, exclaimed. "She needs to be gay just nowl Wen telephone her to come down and get up Q house party. She needs fun"
