something about this great hunter which no
one in India had dreamed of.
TOO late, hell!" he bsrked Come on. and
show me the way!"
There's no use both of us chucking up our
lives, Sir Hubert" Cardiff said casually. Its
only matter of one man going in and leading
St. Cowan through the ridge. And you don't
know the way
"Of course don't But if you're afraid to 60.
draw me map"
Cardiff lips frightened. Here was Sir Hubert
shifting his nose at him. and the old chap, as
K.CB and Senior Government Inspector OF
Railways, represented the judgment of all
India. 1t would be story and shame to talk
about in every tent club and residency bum
galow. 1t would get back to England. Not that
Cardiff cared about that. but his wife would
care Her family was an honorable one and the
shame of it would hurt.
"All you have to do. Sir Hubert. is to ride
home and tell Lorna I'll be late l told her we
we're to be gone only three days. 50 she'll be
expecting me tonight. But please don't tell her
it's Rob St. Gowan She knows him"
He wheeled his horse. He had no time to
explain why he hesitated that small moment to

towards the roaring clouds. he wished he had
said something like this:
"Why should risk my life to save rotter
like Rob St. Gowan when he came up here to
the hills to steal my wife,"
OF course he said nothing of the sort. He
was not the kind to discuss his marital prob
lens with Sir Hubert or anyone else But as
he pressed his horse up the CHATS to the ridge
he discussed them almost aloud with himself
He had fallen in love with Lorna the first night
they met at the Government Gardens And she
had fallen in love too - not with him. but with
India This slim jungly man. to whom old
oolonels and collectors and I.C.S. wallahs paid
such respect, typified India. Hal Cardiff was
violent in his love and irresistibly strong. She
was drugged that night by the heat. the glory
of Madras moon the chaos of perfumes and
the maddening monsoon. Life is violent there
and love is fast.
But the frenzy of that night did not last
for her. She found that out after the rains when
they went up to the hills. UP there on the
plantation there were no more gymkhanas,
house parties or the dinners of Governor

were undecided about turning back when they
heard it was Jungle of fire. With miles of burn

herds of buck would flee before it and you could
set up a machan in any tree and bag what you

Flakes of SCOT like black moths fell on their

BY the time the horses were saddled, sparks
lighted the sky brighter than the sun, which
was slowly going out. There was queer sound
to the wind, the echo of teak roaring many
miles away. The wind seemed hoarse. Sir

trapped there. His shikari had warned him not

would not listen.

old irrigation tunnel that cuts through the
RIDGE" Cardiff said. ANY shikari knows that.
But his shkari forsook him. the constable
said.
Look here, this is awful!'' said Sir Hubert.
"Is there any chance of getting to him."
'Of course there is" Cardiff said, through
the same tunnel" He wondered who would
be going up to Kahnoor Falls with such deter
mination. Not hunter, for hunter would be
easily persuaded to 60 back. Furthermore, any
hunters going that way always took the tonga

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., June
24.-Col. Leonard P. Ayres, Cleve-
land banker and economist, in an
address here last night said that
Federal guaranteed lending" was
IAN ingenious political device de-
signed to circumvent public opposi-
ton to spending"
The Governments newest fiscal
plan for stimulating industry was
characterized by Col. Ayres as
lending our way to prosperity"
'The voting public" he declared,
'is becoming increasingly aware that
public spending has got entirely out
of CONTROL" but that this new move
ment for lending our way out OF
depression has gained great mo-
mentum without attracting much
public attention"
Asserting that the newspapers
have given it little space, Col Ayres
said:
Probably we have seldom had in
our history so dangerous an in
stance Of the failures of our people
to pay attention to development
that gravely threatens our whole
national future"
He spoke before the graduating
School of Banking conducted by
the American Bankers Association
at Rutgers University.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Both buy
ers and sellers pulled their punches
in today's stock market but the
former seemed to have a shade the
best of the contest.
1t was about an even-Stephen
argument until the latter part Of
the final hour when selected issues
began to edge forward. Many lead
ers, however, were unable to get
ahead and small minus signs were
plentiful at the close.
The proceedings inclined to NOPE
throughout, duplicating the sluggish
ness of last Saturday, and transfers
for the two hours approximated u.s.
900 shares.
High hopes for further business
improvement, brokers said. pro-
vided the principal speculative prop.
In addition. tension over the Far
East lessened a bit. although Wall
street feared the British-Japanese
row is far from settlement.
The administrations loan pro-
gram was again a negative market
factor, with financial opinion at odds
regarding the opposition possible in
Congress to the plan. Word that
compromise with the Senate silver
bloc might be reached, thus halting
legislative deadlock, was mildly
cheering marketwise.
Among stocks touching new peaks
for the year were Loft and J. C.
Penney. Supported most of the
time were United States Steel, Beth
lehem, Chrysler. Yellow Truck,
United States Rubber Woolworth,
International Harvester. United Air
craft, General Electric, Great North
ern and Texas Corp.
Rising difficulties were encoun-
tered by American Telephone. Con-
solidated Edison, Anaconda, Briggs
Manufacturing, American Can,
Johns-Manville and Douglas Air
craft.
Steels were resistant as next weeks
mill operations were expected to
hold at about the current rate. A
drop is normal at about this time
of year. with a snap-back usually
appearing after the July 4 week.
Motors contested offerings. The
latest upturn in production aroused
optimism for this industry and pre-
dictions were heard of a favorable
reception for new models which
are to come out in August.

more than Z points. Narrowly higher
