luncheon. Edith telephoned that you
and Eloise had found her"
That's what l came about, to
warn you. Eloise has the reporters
on her trail. She'll be over in a
minute. But the harm will be
done, am afraid, before you can
stop her."
"Oh, I'm resigned. Edith's COM
ing back tonight. Miss Barnes
brother is bringing her."
"Really?" Adelaide Laramore
was appraising Jane. A shabby
child. From the threshold she had
had a moment of jealousy. But
the moment was past. Frederick
was extremely fastidious. He adored
beauty and this Barnes child was
not beautiful.
Jane was unfastening the ear
rings. aren't they heavenly, Mrs.
Laramore?"
"The sapphires?" Mrs. Laramore
sat down on the couch. Her evening
wrap slipped back, showing her
white neck. Her fair hair was swept
up from her forehead. She had a
long face, with pink cheeks and pen
cilled eyebrows. She was like a por-
trait on porcelain, and she knew it,
and emphasized the effect. 1.-THE
sapphires? Yes. They're the choice
of the lot"
She went on to speak of Eloise.
"She is simply hopeless. She has
told the most hectic tales and all the
papers have sent men out to the
Inn."

early and have been hung up at Al

t'Eloise and Benny and the Cap

you. But she laughed and said she

Adelaide reiterated.
II should see her if / were you,
Mr.. Towne," said crisp, young
voice.
Adelaide turned with gasp. With
her slippered feet crossed in front
of her, Jane looked like a child. For
the first time Mrs. Laramore got a
good view of those candid gray eyes.
They had a queer effect on her.
Eyes like that were most uncom-
mon. Fearless. The girl was not
afraid of Frederick. She was not
afraid of anyone.
"Why should I see herr" Freder-
ick demanded.
won't it just add to her sense
of melodrama if you don't? And
why should you care? Your niece

'.You mean," Frederick demand

Jane nodded. "Make comedy of
it instead of tragedy" !"
Adelaide slipping out of her wrap
was revealed as elegant and distin-
guished in silver and black.

settle my nerves? Eloise is tremen-

plaintive.

His Brother

Raleigh, Nov. 24.-(AP)- Ray
mond Williams, 2O-year-old Negro
murderer, whose confession saved
the life of his brother, was executed
by gas at States Prison today. The
execution came a year to the day
after Nathan Ref, a blanket sales
man, was slain on Thanksgiving day
in Sampson county by Raymond and
Henry Williams, and their brother
in-laW, Lee Simpson.
The brothers were both sentenced
to be executed. After Raymond con-
fessed and took all responsibility,
Governor Hoey committed Henry's
sentence to life imprisonment. Simp-

passed the cell in which his brother
stood. They exchanged ''goodbyes"
but had no other conversation, War
den H. H. Wilson said. Henry will be
removed from Death Row today or

Paris, Nov. 24.-(AP)-The Allies
reported today continuing triumphs
in aerial combats on the western
front as the war turned skyWard in
a manner reminiscent of the dog
fights and flying circuses Of World
War days.
In contrast with the grim waiting
game on the ground, the French said
that their aviators in American and
French planes had shot down eleven
German aircraft in the last three
days.
Reports here also credited British
filters with destroying nine German
planes in two days.
Germany confirmed the increase
in aerial warfare, but disagreed on
the results. Official news agency re-
ports in Berlin declared that Ger
man fighters had shot down five
enemy planes, with only one German
loss in six separate encounters over
northwestern France in the last two
aays.)
The French reported they shot
down two German planes yesterday,
six Wednesday and three Tuesday,
with only one Of their own planes

The British brought down seven
Germans yesterday and two Wednes-

Says In Interview at
Warm Springs Press
Conference.

Warm Springs. Ga, Nov. "a
AP)-President Roosevelt disclosed
today that some confederation was
being given the idea Of a special tax
to finance expenditures for national
defense, which may be increased by
$500 100000 in the next fiscal year
These defense expenditures, the
President indicated at a press con-
ference, will be in excess of ST.
100000, 900, but probably not as high
as 81, 1868, 900, 600. He differentiated,
identally, between appropriations
ana expenditures for defense.
Questions about business and
taxation led the President rto a
discussion Of defense and its financ-
ing.
or course, he said, the objective
Of the administration was to cut
down all expenditures which possibly
could be Whitfield at the present time.
Assuming that reductions can be
made in the budget, that Congress
does not appropriate large sums be-
yond the budget estimates, and that
tax revenues increase as they are
now, the President said, the result
would be a eduction in this years
deficit.
But undoubtedly because Of the
world situation, Mr.. Roosevelt con-
