Baby" sued the fashionable Paris sooth-
sayer Madame Maryse de Thanis for $4,000
which she asserted she had paid for Madame's
guaranteed love philtres which she had fed
TO the Baron with no result at all. The Baron
who then had an income of $4,000, 900 year
had been attracted by Baby and apparently
his colossal fortune was all the amulet he
needed TO hold her devotion. At any rate he
divorced his wife and the path TO the altar
seemed about to open to Miss Knudsen.
But unknown to her the Baron had secretly
fallen for Miss Rose-Zell Rowland who was
called the golden girl because she frequently
appeared in cabaret clothed only in a coat of
gold paint
When unexpectedly the Baron cut off
"Babys" charge accounts, which was his chiv-
alrous way of serving love dispossess notice,
she saw her Aladdin's lamp kicked over just
when she expected to light her wedding can
dies at the flame. 1t was then she ran to

selling love charm TO the Misses Dora and
Mabel Lyme of Bridlineton Yorkshire
The ladies were getting on in years and
had been wondering for quite a while how so
many of their friends less favored than them
selves could blithely walk off with husbands
II didn't seem reasonable
In shy and hating mariner they ex-
planned their dilemma TO Mrs Wilkinson, a
chance acquaintance. She had the answer all
ready for she remarked with a smile:
"Of course there's trick about IL. Haven't
you girls ever heard of love charm ?"
After gazing into a crystal and reading
their palms, Ethel May explained that the
charm was a mysterious substance the most
important ingredient of which came from
rare and almost unknown animal in Egypt. 1t
was imported in secret and cost 500 a unit
or dose and could be used only by skllful
hands like her own. To obtain satisfactory
results five units or $500 worth would turn the
trick.

Mix together and roast Collect the ashes
carefully and mix with chocolate candy in
order that the bewitched may not suspect
that charm has been cast over him"
Miss Knudsen elated, followed instructions
exactly. expecting this candied love-charm TO
rekindle the old flame in Empains heart.
However, the Baron reacted with all the
warmth of a refrigerator and Baby" so re-
ported to the seeress. The latter thereupon
admitted she wasn't really a specialist in love
philtres and sent her to a sorcerer in Nantes
who had all the love-charm secrets Of the
ancient Egyptians at his finger tips He
too failed and "Babys" suit followed.
However, Baby" lost her one-time adorer
much as Donysias lost hers twenty centuries
ago. In "Baby's" case the tickle Baron mar
ried the other woman. There is no record
that Baby" invoked anyone Ito lay him low"
but if she had, she might now regard her wish
as more than fulfilled. For at latest accounts
the Baron was a prisoner of the Nazis.
In deciphering the love charm Of Dionysias
and her invocation ito lay low" her lover
Professor Bonner referred to another amulet
now in Oslo in which a lover invokes demon
to torture his mistress in various ways and
bids the demon: Strike her down with fever
unless she meets his wishes"
All Of which seems to prove that Shakes
peare right, when he wrote in "Nidsum-
mer Nights Dream"
"Ay me- for aught that could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history
The course Of true love never did run
smooth"

and discovered then that
another woman was moving
in on the Baron's heart
According to Miss Knud-
sen, Madame de Thanis told
her there was only one
way to nullify this new
influence and Baby" was
sold a small packet sup
posed to contain the ashes
of two kinds of seaweed-
male and female. She was
directed to give this to the
Baron and told that all
would be well.
However, the seeress pre-
dicted ultimate success and
produced a stronger charm,

a male and female lizard
mixed in equal parts. This.

spark in the Baron's breast

Thanis tried more potent
philtres. One of the latter

made up as follows:

from a green bay tree, a
roadside weed, preferably

hauled in the mainsheet, 50 that the craft
heeled sharply. and the rushing water foamed
up to the very edge of the cockpit.
Dan leaned far out on the high side to
counterbalance the boat. just as Roger had
known he would do and at that instant,
Roger slammed the tiller hard down.
As the boat came about. the mast straight
ened up like released spring. The sail filled
on the opposite tack, and the side of the boat
upon which Dan had been sitting plunged
under water With shout of alarm, Dan let
go the jib sheet and grabbed the steel wire of
the shroud, the rushing water tugging at his
submerged, wildly failing body.
''Rog!" he screamed. Help me!'
Roger watched him without moving hold
ing the boat on its course His heart thumped
loudly, the blood rushing in his ears. Wouldn't
the fool ever let 60?
Roger" Dams eyes were bulging now with
the strain. For Gods sake -"
He was gone, and Roger drew in deep
sigh of relief. He looked back, and saw Dan
come up foundering. Roger started throwing
lifesaver cushions at him. there were four in
the boat and he threw them all - carefully

wild, where Dan couldn't possibly reach
them
The sails were Tapping thunderously.
Twice he almost capsized, which would have
been perfectly satisfactory to Roger. for he
had planned on the possibility, and staged
the accident 50 that the boat would drift by
beyond Dams reach.
1t would have been unpleasant riding the
partially submerged hull for an hour or 80,
until he was rescued or washed ashore, but
that was all.
In three or four minutes it was all over.
Dan was gone, and the cushions had drifted
almost out of sight. Roger was wet to the
skin, and felt bruised and shaken all over He
couldn't have put on a better show if he'd
had a thousand spectators. Carefully, he
cruised up and down, to make sure there was
no sign of Dan, and when he was positive,
he headed for the dock.
Ills story was Short simple. He told them
exactly what he had planned to tell them:
1T was all my fault.' he said with con-
vincingly bitter self-reproach. Eve were out
on the big stretch. There was lot of wind;

about all we could handle. l called out Ready
about!, but didn't look to make sure Dan
understood. and apparently he didn't hear
me over the wind. He went overheard in
flash. threw him all the cushions, and tried
to get back to him, but you fellows know what
it is to sail singlehanded in stiff wind, with
the jib Tapping like rag, and - in spot
like that, you're all thumbs. 1t was awful!''
So somebody gave him drink, and every
body tried to tell him that accidents are hor-
ribe things, but they will happen. And that
was all there was to it.
Oh, there was the coroner, and the inquest,
and session with old Ed Beck, the sheriff,
but those things were just formalities. Roger
told the same story every time. with just
variation enough to make it sound natural.
The toughest job of all, really, was the
business conference with little Mona Wheeler,
Dams wife, after it was all over.
She was apparently so stunned by what had
happened that she just sat there staring at
him. nodding her head once in a while, and
twisting her handkerchief Il understand"
she said drearily, when he had finished. Il
knew most of the details. Dan told me. Is

Roger set off across it on broad reach,
- course that would take them out be-
yond the islands, and out of sight from the
shore.
That was the place Roger Hayes had Sc
lected tor the .. accident.
Big and blond and looking few years
older than he really was, Roger himself was
at the helm. His partner, Dan Wheeler,
lounged comfortably on the high side of the
little sailboat, just aft the shroud.
Wen really take busting when we get
out there" Dan shouted above the wind. His
lean. freckled face was glowing He was crazy
about sailing. and wind and wave never
seemed to bother him. even though he was an
Indifferent swimmer. If this is our last sail
together. it's going to be a honey"
He was thinking of what Roger had said
when they started out: This may be our
last sail together, Dan; the way things are
goisg at the Office, I'm thinking of selling
the old girl"
'ThatIl be tough" Dan had said soberly
But it might be the smart thing to do, Rog.
! doubt things are going to pick up much for
us in the near future"
1t was perfectly obvious to Roger that
things were not going to pick up in the near
future for the firm of Wheeler & Hayes, Archi-
tects.
Building was slow, and briorities was a
word with thousand meanings and million
implications. Actually. it was Dan himself
who had put this whole idea into Rogers
head, weeks before, during one of their all
too-frequent discussions of finances.
It's tough situation and there's nothing
we can do about it. Rog No use kidding our
selves any longer: we're going to be splitting
two ways what would be just a fair living
for one, until things start breaking again. But
if a married man can get along, l guess a
bachelor can, eh?"
1HAr one significant phrase had kept COM
ing back to Roger: ". splitting t,Oo W0ys
whal wonld be Just fair Aring for one." If
there were only one of them, there wouldn't
be any split; their partnership agreement took
care of that. Mona, Dams wife, would get his
insurance. paid for by the firm; the business
would belong to Roger.
An idea like that could grow upon you. 1t
could hammer at you all day, and haunt you
by night. Success had been easy for Roger
He'd always made a lot of money. and spent
every penny of it. He couldn't learn to get
along without it.
But Roger was not fool. More. than that,
he wasn't taking any chances. An accident
was an accident. and the snartest cop in the
world couldn't prove otherwise.
Roger had thought about it so much,
planned it all 50 carefully. that it all seemed
like matter of course now. He felt little
flushed and feverish, and his heart was
pounding just bit harder than usual, but
that was all.
! HE little sailboat slipped out from be-
tween two islands. and leaped like live thing
as the full force of the wind struck. Dan
whooped joyously; this was what he liked.
Roger glanced up at the peak of his SAIL
