Are you trying to tell me that

"We-e-ell, not exactly arrest"

You might try believing that

"Oh, sure, sure-sorry to have

Natalie hadn't waited for that.
She called Long Distance again,

TOM HAD felt quite sure that
Morton Blake WoulI make anolhe'
offer to take ever the island, fol
lowing tIa aectic night when II
had unWlI.-.&Iv offered refuge 10
the ~shipWrecked sailors. He knew
that Hugh Powell had expected
that, too, and When a week passed
and Morton Blake had not been
heard from, both Hugh and Tom
were a little puzzled.
And then something happened
that for a little while made them
forget both Blake and the ship
wreck. The boatman came over
with the morning mail on a beauti-
full blue and gold day, and in the
mail there was a telegram fer Ma
tale.
They were all clustered together
on the pier where they usually met
for a sorting of the morning mail
and the newspapers. Natalie ripped
the telegram open immediately and
they heard her little shocked, pro-
testing gasp.
Brooks" she exclaimed, "Will
you listen to this: it's from poor lit
tie Coralie Simpson. Something
awful has happened. She says, Am
in a terrible jam. Please get ir
touch with me the minute you get
this. Am still in the hospital, but
telephone the chief of police here
Please hurry"
She looked up at Brooks, Devil
dercd.
"But-What in the world coulG
have happened?' she stammered
Il don't knoW-but you'd better
get over to the mainland as
quickly as possible and telephone
her. How about it, old man? Will
you run us over?" Brooks ad-
dressed the boatman.
~"Sure-hop ill.," answered the
man promptly, "Anybody else want
to go along?'
Let's all go. just for the ride
that is, if Brooks and Natalie don't
mind?" suggested Betsy eagerly,
Bill and Terry were going fish
ing; Major and Mrs. Edmonds
begged off; but the others piled
into the boat and it went racing for
the mainland. On shore, somebody
directed them to the small tele-
phone exchange and Natalie put
through her call.
There was a b.lef wait, and then
a voice said, "Oliay on your call to
Richland. : Mrs. Marchbanks. Go
ahead, Rlchlanl.'
"Hello-this Mrs. Brooks March

voice. This is the chief Of police at

DEVELOPMENT OF
GUAM, SAMOA ASKED

fContinued From Page One)
large and small surface vesseis
and seaDlanes.
Rear Admiral Ben Moreell, chief
Of the bureau of yards and docks,
testified that the Guam project was
| virtually the same as that rejected
by congress twice since 1888. Guam
is only 1900 miles from Tokyo, and
| opponents of the Nays previous
proposals to make improvements
ther. %contended that Japan would be
| offended.
At Samoa, far to the south of
Guam and in a direct line from Homo
lulu to New Zealand and Australia.
the Navy would be authorized to
spend $500, 900 for expansion Of the
relatively minor facilities now at Tu-
tuila, bombproofing of vital centers
and establishment of air craft oper-
ating facilities.
The committee was told by Navy
officials that the project was import
ant because the development of avia-
ton had brought the islands into the
strategic picture" in the Pacific.
Informed sources said an outpost
there would be extremely valuable
in the event of hostilities involving
a long-range blockade such as has
been suggested might result if trou-
BILE developed between the United
| States and Japan.
The bill also provides for congress
sional sanction for development OF
the Atlantic base sites obtained from
England.
The committee agreed on an
amendment which would authorize
the work and limit the total cost of
the Navy's share to $116,050 900.
Moreell testified that work already
underway, chiefly with money from
President Roosevelt's emergency
fund, would cost about $62, 900, 000.
Besides the naval expenditures, the
Army expects to spend about s102,-
900, 900 on the bases.
