CRUISE TO NOWHERE.
BY Deck MORGAN q 9,o NEA s.,s. nx
g 1896 kEA Service, Ine.

a week she would remain in that
delightful state where nothing
could happen to her.
But in this moment of tranquil
ity-this ethereal breathing spell
which all Of us mortals enjoy be-
tween the harsher, more real mo-
mentS of life-Jane erred. She
did not realize that, meeting Dirk
Strom, she had broken her splen-
did isolation from reality. HUI
man wills had already bent to
each other and would inevitably
clash.
Powerful, sweeping events had
been set in motion by another
thing which Jane, in her new
found bliss, ignored. She and Dirk
had been singled out by men who
made money out of other peoples
distress. And in this verv moment
she was brought back from her
dreams of security by a rude
shock which left her still and cold
in her berth.
She became conscious of heavy
breathing outside her stateroom II
the hall. The fan above the tran
som kept up sound of humming
of bees. But clearly she could
hear the measured breathing. a
man was there close to the venti-
latOr, and he was obviously wait
ing--liStening. Her hands became
clammy and cold.
She slipped out of the bed and
tiptoed 10 the door. She flung it
open, just in time to see a pair Of
heels disappearing around the cor
ner, into the long corridor which
led to the elevators. She heard a
door opened and shut, and then
she was alone. The electric fan
hunmed. She slammed her door,
locked it and crept quivcling to
bed.
Dirk and the detective sat in
the great dining salon and watch
ed the people come in for dinner.
They had just finished the en-
tree, Long Island duckling and
were prepared for the dessert and
coffee to follow.
Snowshoes was on his favorite
subject Of conversation. "The big
racket in this country right now is
the numbers racket. The football
pool is no small turkey around
Thanksgiving time. But they're
Just a chiseling game on a big
scale. Now you take the jewel
thieves-ie
"You take EN-" Dirk said,
smiling.
"All this talk about unsettled
money conditions has made the
rich people afraid of gold and Sc
curities. A lot Of them are putting
all their money in jewels. The un-
derworid knows it. There are in
ternational svndicates which DO
nothing but steal and market pre-
cious jewels"
Don't talk shop" Dirk beg
ged. "You give me the creeps.
Every person l see tonight, | look
at and wonder if he might be a

blackmailer or an international
jewel thief"
"Jewel thieves belong to an eX-
elusive racket. They wear fine
clothes, have grand manners, and
mingle with the very people who
own the jewels" .n. .
Dirk was watching the old
dowager, Madame Doremus, seat
herself for dinner, close by. Her
companion, the mousy little girl,
was trying to quiet her, but Ma
dame, slightly deaf, went right
on talking in loud, stentorian
tones which everyone in the salon
could have heard. She was idly
lingering a large jeweled pendant
about her throat, and as her
hands turned to the lights a daz-
zling collection Of large diamonds
blazed forth.
81 always come in late" she
said loudly to her companion, $50
as to attract no attention. It's
vulgar to make an entrance"
Dirk smiled. "Now, take that
nice old lady" he said. you're
not going to suspect her of any
thing"
'Hcr Jewels are probably PASTE"
Snowshoes said dourly, and Dirk
laughed. "She's the real thing,
and too wise to como on board q
hip with her real Jewels"
The dining room was crowded
now, and they looked about them
to see three hundred guests merg-
ed into one indistinguishable mass
of fine clothes under the soft
lights. There was q sound rs Of
buzzing bees, as people talked
and laid plans to satisfy their va
rious desires. And there were per-
haps three hundred human wills at
that moment working at cross
purposes.
81 can tell 'em," snowshocs
added. "Therc's a slice Of rich
Park Avenue, a slice Of high-brow
Broadway, and slice Of"
He paused to watch two slccFly
dressed individuals enter the din
ing room. walking stifGly past
their table. "Times Square," hc
said, low. THAT was Dutch LEM,
and bless me! your drinking pal
of few minutes ago."
"Mannie Jackson" Dirk sup
piled.
I'll just write that down."
Snowshoes said, "for future ref
erence. But it's probably phoney
name. They always are"
"There may be few people
like that who stand out" Dirk
said, smilin&, ''but after all there
are probably two hundred just
like you and me, going on this
cruise for a little vacation"
"Maybe," Snowshoes said sour
ly. 81 wish had picked some 9th
er place for my vacation. I'd rath-
er be shooting ducks"
He watched the two men seat
themselves ut a table and glance
furtively about the great room.
Down the center stairs came a
handsome young man, tall and
dark, his clean, smiling face
crowned by well-groomed curly
black hair. He was smiling for the
world to see, and his well-timed |
entry attracted the attention OF
almost every person in the salon. ,

or a three weeks ocean cruise
She received her ticket in place
of the salary due her when the
travel magazine employing her as
a typist suspended publication.
On board Jane meets kandsonc
Dirk Strom who has been skiing
at Lake Placid. He introduces
her to his friend, Srowshoes, de.
tective. Srowshoes tells them that
Nora Lane, famous actress, is OIL
board. Miss Lane owns the fa.
nous kokinor diamond ard it is
known that she usually has it with
her.
Dirk actually is as penniless as
Jane. Injured during the skiing
tournament in saving the life of
child, he accepted the cruise
ticket from the child's father.

him that Mamie is q crook.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER VI
Meanwhile Jane stood before
the small mirror in her statcroom,
rubbing cold cream on her face.
It was almost. a ritual tonight.
She dabbed it on with her finger
tips and rubbed it with circular
motion away from her eyes. She
felt ike one of the movie stars,
comfortable and warm and beau
tiful. Tonight she was so deliri-
ously happy!
She gathered her negligee about
her--the really fine one she had
picked up at a subway sale for
less than a dollar-and danced
to the berth. But she didn't turn
out the light. She lay back, with
her head against the pillows and
sighed. 1t was a long, luxurious
sigh. Here she was on a great lin
er steaming into the glamorous
tropics!
She had been too starved to
wait for dinner in the ships din
ing salon, for she hadn't had any
lunch at all. She had ordered the
dainty little things sent up to
her, and it had come up on a
great silver tray. She had tipped
the waiter eXtravagantly, but she
didn't care. 1t gave her such a
sense Of well-being now.
The city with its teeming mil
lions, the bleak cold winds and
slush ;in the streets, was far away
from her now. She was all alone
-vSandtelose to the sun and the
moon and the stars-where moth
ing humdrum could happen.
Gone were her cares about to-
morrow. In the morning she
wouldn't wake up with that GER
tain dread-that hobgoblin Of
fear which girls who pound the
pavements looking for a job when
there aren't any, know. 1t was
like q suspension of time, and for

Association Rule
on New Players
Defed by Cards
Owners of Columbus to Test
May Is Ban.
By United Press

BY CHited PTeSS
COLUMBUS, o., May 26.-The st.
Louis Cardinals, the storm center of
bitter baseball war in the Amer
lean Association in 1888, when they
purportedly loaded" their Columbus
farm with players who received
above the leagues salary limit,
today def1ed openly a player rule
when it was announced infielder
Heinie Soluble would be optioned
here.
The Association two years ago
passed a rule prohibiting clubs in
the league from receiving help from
another team with the same owner
ship after May Is.
President Don Beach of the Red
Birds said today Columbus was
knowingly breaking the rule.
THE rule was aimed at us and
we regard it as discriminatory.
We've observed it up to now, but
have decided to see whether it can
be enforced under baseball law"
George M. Trautman, who was
president of the Columbus club
when the rule was passed, is now
head of the Association. Trautman
declined today to say what the
leagues stand would be.
II haven't as yet received any of
fetal notification Soluble is to be
here" he said, what course the
league will take will be determined
when he arrives and plays a game
with Columbus"

Good Mounts
Threaten Few
Low Qualifiers
500-MiIe Trials to Resume
Tomorrow at Speed
Oval Here.
BY HARRISON MILLER


1t appears today that a few of the
qualified cars may be pushed out of
the picture at the Speedway with
two more afternoons designated as
official qualification periods.
Only four spaces remain open in
the lineup, and at least eight good
mounts are prepared to make an
assault on the lowest record yet
posted this year. Four more charg-
ers yesterday augmented the previ-
Gus qualifiers, bringing the total to
%. The field is limited to 80 cars
for the opening parade on Memorial
Day.
A heavy wind at Gasoline Alley
kept the less-hardy drivers on the
apron, but four attempted to pass
the speed and gasoline requirements.
Local Pilot Makes Grade
Harry MacQuinn, local speedster
and midget car ace, was the first to
appear before the technical commit
tee. He qualified the Sampson Radio
Special which Chef Gardner guided
into seventh place in 1885. Mac
Quinn'S average time for the 25-mile
excursion was 114.119. He carried
Jimmie Chappell, local mechanic, as
his riding mate.
Others to qualify yesterday were
Deacon Litz, Dubois, Pa, Deacon
Litz Special, 1897; Roy Painter,
Detroit, American Twist Drill Spe-
cial, 109.867, and Ray Pixley, Fuller
ton, Cal, Fink Auto Special, 116703.
The veteran Litz, who on his first
attempt to qualify one week ago ran
short of gasoline, gave his pit assist
ants scare when he stalled on the
northeast curve after he had COM
pleted the 10 required laps.
Turns Off Gas
Litz turned off the gas as he re-
celved the checkered flag and was
not able to coast the remaining lap
for the gasoline measurement. A
battery was rushed to the scene and
the car came back TO the finish line
on its own power
Lltz had promised to hit 116 miles
an hour on the nose in his second
attempt. He missed it by .O03 of a
second. Roy Painter failed on his
initial attempt, but made good on
his second try.
Painter, with Overton Smell, is on
the border line. 1t is now believed
that speed of at least ITO miles
an hour will be necessary to clinch
a place in the starting field.
Pixley, making his debut here this
year in the Fink Auto Special, is
we'll up in the list with record of
6703, which YVES the best perform
ance posted yesterday. He is driv-
ing a combination of two outstand-
ing cars from the 1885 event.
Uses Mays Old Motor

which Rex Mays used to snag the
pole last year is mounted on the

The Phillies are shrewd outfit
from business angle. In Chuck
Klein they have back with them the
player who put $4,000 in the club
treasury. According to big league
experts the Phils received 100000 in
cash when they sold Klein to the
Cubs in 1924 and $4,000 in cash
when they got him back the other
day. They gave up Curt Davis and
Ethan Allen in the recent deal, but
Davis was landed in the draft and
Alien was an inexpensive invest
ment.

herman, died. lie was the discoverer
of Mel OFT, famed outfielder and
slugger with the New York Giants.
Williams was a friend of the late
John McGrsw and OFT played on a
team at Williams lumber camp. The
lumber magnate was impressed by
the batting form of the 16-year-old
lad, paid his fare to New York and
sent letter along advising McGraw
to take a good look. Young OFT
went on from there to gain the base
ball heights.
Primo Camera plans to sail for
his home in Italy following his to-
morrow nights bout with the hard
hitting leroy Haynes in Brooklyn.
At least he'll sail if he's able to navi-
gate after the battle. He was
knocked cold by Haynes in a previ-
Gus meeting.
