into the Z per cents ordered by his
customers, he had been attracted by
a scheduled pool operation In o GER

when his customers money disap-
peared tn violation Of the schedule,
he had thrown his own conserva-

had witnessed their quick demise
Wall street was not aware Of the

those recent, prosperous days: put
on hat and coat expensive

behind him, fugitive from a land

There was q heavy fog ~ wet,

walked away in 1t, and was lost
again.
Marcia met John at 8 o'clock In
the lobby Of her hotel.

said Marcia soberly. THE direct

all about this later, John. Right

Seated In the quiet restaurant
where at midnight a gay crowd
had danced. where at noon hurry

they ordered breakfast and looked

And while their waiter went in

No. the manager said, he could

the young man In question from

the day before yesterday, but had
not returned yesterday, nor this

John Waddell, at her insistence,
took reluctant leave Of Marcia and
went late to h:s office. Drearily
Marcia returned to her hotel room

his third voyage, and sighted a

st. Ursula, according to tradi-
