CONGRESS NOW
ABOUT FED UP
ON HEAVY DUTY
Indications that Action on
Court and Wage Hour
May Be Delayed
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 2lMora
than one good source on Capitsl
Hill will tell you that Congress is
about fed up with heavy duty bust
ness this session and will adjourn
without action on the court OF
wage hour legislation.
Fragments of additional farm
legislation may seep through and
some emergency corks will be whit
tied to stop the tax leaks. Not al
this can be verified and any pub
lie statement 10 that effect would
be met by outright denials,
But if che rumor can be said TO
support another, the rumor Of pro-
posed scuttling of the court and
wage-hour bills is supported by two
others. One is that Senator Rob
inson, majority leader, has tenta-
lively booked passage for Europe
July Is. That is two weeks ahead
OF the time he has guessed" Con-
gress would adjourn The othar is
that Representative Sam Raybun,
House Majority Leader, also has
plans for an early departure from

Ian Gray was helpless.
"Mr. Ian Gray" announced an enor-
NOUS footman in dark blue livery as
he threw back curtained glass doors
which opened from a landing at the
top of flight of scarlet carpeted
stairs.
Suave, debonair and with an ad-
mirably counterfeited air of expect
ant enthusiasm, Ian sauntered into
small living room that was mas
terpiece of we'll restrained art mod
erne. At the far end of the room Lo-
lita Won Waldeck was sitting playing
with black spitz dog. She was, he
thought, dainty, clean and as fragile
as a Sevres figure in her very smart
afternoon gown of pale green crepe
Smilingly correct, Ian made a lit
tie bow to that sunbeam of girl who
had risen to advance with a wholly
enhancing smile upon lips that re-
sembled red velvet.
"You have a good memory, Monsiue1
Gray. I had feared that you might
not take my invitation seriously"
She had an air of gentle enthusiasm
that seemed wholly convincing. How
incredible it was that this same love-
ly creature had driven Leonard Holt
to the endge of the grave! What a

the counter struck his ear. When ne
turned she smiled up at him with lit
tie golden rings in her ears bobblng
cheerfully.
"That is Heer SchlantaZ of the po-
itzei He loves mein Rosa. All, to
be young again and have such big,
fine man to beat one on ones wedding
night"
When a small, rather anemic look
ing girl appeared from the back OF
the shop, the gazing policeman saluted
deliberately, and clicked his heels at
the same time. Then, satisfied that
all was we'll, he staggered off, twlrl-
ing his moustaches and sternly order
ing an urchin out of the street.
Ian felt better, and, after tucking
the square box under his arm, be-
slowed on the bewildered florists wife
a bill that left a preposterous tip.
"Ach," she exclaimed, beaming on
the pallid Rosa, ''this business of flow
ers is a crazy one; half the customers
are blind with grief. The other half,
like this so handsome Englisher, are
so blind with love they care not what
they are doing. Look Rosa, ezer pen
goe!"
But Ian's thoughts were far from
loving. Five hours of grace were yet
his. Desperate as any poor rogue
with a posse at his heels, he climbed
into his two scatter and drove for the
street on which Lolita Won Waldeck

AS warm breeze fluttered the
brim of his gray felt hat, Ian sighed
too bad he couldn't merely enjoy the
fragrant perfection of the spring af-

how the breeze stirred the two or
three ash-blonde curls that had escap-

brimmed leghorn hat.

on such a day." she smiled and Ian
hated her for those words. Poor Leo
nard was but half-alive!
AS the words left her lips little
flicker of wind twitched the handker-
chief from her lap and deposited in on
the floor of the tonneau. Too late,
Ian noticed it, for the girl had already
bent forward and was extending an
arm to retrieve the restless bit of lace.
With her motion the lace sleeve fell
apart to reveal on the soft white flesh
just below the shoulder an angry red
mark. He had barely time to recover
from his surprise when she smiled up
at him--apparently she had not noticed
that amazing expose.
81 beg your pardon, I didn't see the
handkerchief until you'd gotten it. 1t

REALLY Monsieur-this car almost

"Oh, it's god buy" replied Ian alb

He patted his shoulder. holster, re-
assured to feel the familiar .32 was IN

tic, but he'd get pretty ugly it they
drove him to it. By heaven, he would
save Ilya's and Leonard's pretty little
romance from a hideous end! How
ironical it was-going with flowers
and a smile to a rendezvous with one
who had nearly ruined his career.
AS he whirled the motor along the
sunlit streets, past busy markets, past
booths where faded old women sold
fresh young flowers, ne smiled bleak

"Shouldn't WONDER" he told himself
"but Lolita and her jolly little cousin
If he is her cousin-aren't tangled

Though his brain staggered in an
effort to foresee every contingency
to one who might have seen him drlv-

smartly dressed young man out Tor a
spin.
