went out for an after-dinner walk.
At eleven when he returned the foot

through silent lunch with Griffiths.
Once he ventured to say: New

1--WE got story about her." said
Grifiths.
Tell it, will you?"
"You wouldn't like it. It's ghost
story" answered Grifhths, and he
would talk no more on the subject.
Coffee and brandy ended that
gloomy meal and then a telephone
call came from Elise. with the old
brightness and lightness in her voice.
Come over for cocktails after a

ITS no good for me to see you alone"

German. But I'll come. just the

have to be rude to me. though. I'm

said Henderson The others. without
a word, watched the two curiously.
The Marchese did not seem an
noyed. He stepped to the door and
opened it. There is one dogfish in
every large catch of good fish," he
said. Get out, Henderson"
Henderson took stride toward the
door. Then he turned and threw out
his hands towards the Others.

he asked. Its too dirty to wash off

Mack and Tom made small move

something in the amused, attentive,
bright eye of the Marchese stopped
them. Henderson went suddenly from
the room, cursing. The Marchese
stepped after him, closing the door
softly after him. In two or three min
utes he returned.
"A rotten bad break" declared
Older, of Newark. "Henderson's a
strong man It's too bad to lose
him.
Besides, he's been too deep in the

When Grifiths devoted himself to

his legs crossed, wagging one foot
slowly up and down. tamping his
pipe with a foreinger as hard and

COURT SHIFT BRINGS
PROCESS LEVY TALK
With Only 4 or 6 Justices Orig
inally Opposed to Tax Left,
Revival Is Discussed.

BY the Associated Press.
The prospective shift of power on
the Supreme Court engendered talk in
congressional circles today of re-
enacting the processing taxes on farm
products to finance crop control
Farm belt Senators noted that the
retirement of Justice Sutherland will
leave on the court only four justices
Of the six who voted two years ago
to invalidate the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act because of the process
ing taxes.
Senator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho,
one of the authors of the pending
crop-control bill, and Senator Hatch,
Democrat, of New Mexico. said they
had heard discussion of reviving the
processing taxes.
Senator Pope said there was no
proposal to add the levies to the pend
ing bill, because it had gone too far
through the legislative mill. Process
ing taxes could be added to the rev.
enue bill now pending in House
committee, he said
The Senator said enactment OF
such taxes would make possible full
parity payments under the pro-
gram. He and other friends of the
measure had agreed that only partial
parity" payments would be possible
with funds now in sight.
