develope some tomorrow if her

Does Hitler. Mussolini and the

A war of aggression will be
waged. For we cannot and will

June was radiant. That's a sillv

and held out her arms.
A few days later they all had
met at the pier for the distribution
of the morning mail. There were
several letters, also a telegram for
Natalie. When she had read it. she
looked up swiftly, her eyes sweep
ing about the little group.

gram here. The Sea Spritc is at

"Betsy?" asked Natalie eagerly.
You and Tom will Gomez"
I'D love it," answered BETSY
happily, and Tom nodded his smil-
ing agreement.
June and Donald, Major and Mrs.
Edmonds, all agreed. Tom and
Brooks departed for the mainland
TO wire the yacht and make their
plans. They We're all to discover
how very smoothly plans can move
when oiled by tremendous amounts
of money. 1t seemed scarcely more
than a breathing space before the
Sea Sprite, a slim anG. shining
white lady of the seas, dipped her
anchor just off the island and they
We're all going aboard.
Terry, tumbling into the speed
boat to go out to the yacht, sur-
Veyed her sunburned legs and arms,
revealed by the extreme brevity of
one Of her chambray play-suits,
and sighed.

BROOKS AND Natalie received
the news Of PoWcll's visit with the
expected excitement and approval.
Mrs. Edmond was looking along
the beach down which June and
Donald must come. The morning
oet-together, when the mail boat
came in, was a regular rite, and she
WA curious for a first glimpse of
June and Donald.
But she was doomed to disap-
continent. for they did not come.
OF course she had no way of peek
inc INTO the cottage and seeing
what was Transporting.
June aWokc with the splitting
headache that is a traditional part
Of the morning after. For a while
she lay quite still. her mind going
back over the day before when.
publicly, Donald had all bat
thrown her out of his life; when he
had assured the newspaper men
that she was resuming her career.
She recalled the scene that had fol-

the mainland and all the rest of it
was quite clear. Coming home in
the after-midnignt hours wa not

member seeing and talking to Don
sid, but she couldn't be certain
about that.
The door opened and she sat bolt
upright, Wincing a little with pain
at the sudden movement.
Donald grinned at her above the
tray he was carrying.
Careful, or it'll blow off" he
cautioned her.
What will?" she asked family.

like a loon, doesn't it 2" said Don
aid, Wagging his own head solemn
ly. Il know by sad experience

He went on talking while she
gulped the evil-smelling mixture.
A little later, to her own amaze
ment, she found that her headache

ach no longer seemed going around
in circles.

despite scattered profit taking, hedg-

Prices dipped as much as 1-2 cents

the most weakness, but the markets
ability to recover was attributed to
small lot orders coming from mills
and buyers acting on the higher
trend of securities. Spreading opera.

for strength of the September de-

Press Carrier Index Closes
63.8, Up a Of Point For
New 194O-41 High

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-R)-The
new year bull market in rail bonds
swept on to new nights today on a
volume Which traders said was ex-
ceptional for recent years.
Recording it's sixth consecutive
rise, the Associated Press rail index
closed at 63.S, up 4 of a point and
a new 1940-41 high.
Industrial and utility loans were
steady but heavily overshadowed by
the broad speculative investment in
terest in the carriers which began to
assert itself at the turn of the year
after completion of 1910 tax selling.
The surge of interest in rails has
been attributed to a marked rise of
confidence in investment quarters
that the transportation industry, I'M
der the defense drive, was destined
for a large gain in revenues.
Rail bonds, a large number of
which still L selling well below
par, were seen as in line to benefit
from revenue gains, since unlike
stocks, interest coverage is deduct
ible before the tax collector assesses
his claims against net income.
Today a few of the carriers which
had moved up fast earlier in the
week dropped back a little under
profit selling but traders combed
the list for "sleepers'' Of neglected is
