Should Do Something
With continued amended mo-
tions, and the fast repartee, May
or Demeritt was moved to say
that parliamentary procedure
is now confused" It was straight
ened out, and Carbonell emphas-
lied THAT city license is needed
before the State may grant one
so in fairness to those rejected
something should be DONE"
Rev. DohertY again gained
the floor and pounded away
with the statement that EFF the
law has been violated for seven
years. there is no reason TO con-
tinue violating it,"
Move School
w. E. Fowler, Harris School
principal, upon being recognized,
suggested compromise by NOV
ing the San Carlos school to a
better environment in a reSiden-
tial section of the city, and not
subject the business men to
heavy losses. He reasoned that il
was quite evident that the San
Carlos is a recognized school il
for no other reason than that is
licensed by the Florida State
Board of Education, and further
more, that public funds are used
to support the school, for Mon
roe county contributes funds

to teach English in the San Car
los school.
Only Dream
A Mr.. AriaS, in answer to
Fowler's compromise motion,
which was well received by the
gathered crowd, said that Fowl
er's statements were well-inten-
toned, but it would be "a dream"
to think that a school owned by
the Cuban government could be
moved on such short notice. ut

Fowler then said that Evil
can be removed only through
education. not legislation" The
crowd gave Fowler a tremen-
dous applause.
Grant Seasonal License
City Manager Ellingson, in a
compromising mood, suggested
that all rejected applicants for
licenses "be granted a temporary
seasonal license for six months. !"
Hazel Saunders, colored, was
then recognized by the chair,
and inquired, as did Duffy, the
reason for refusing to renew her
license. She claimed she was in
need of the money that revoca-
ton of her license would deny
her. For three years, have

statues but those occasional dark blots, or
the pile of motionless wreckage where two
cars had crashed. For the next hour he drove
feverishly, without result, along the boule-
wards where he thought it most likely he
might meet his former car, or see it moving
in the distance - until suddenly he realized
with shock that it was quarter to four he
would soon be due at the Louvre again.
AT FIVE minutes to four he rushed up the
broad stairs and along the echoing galleries
to the Murillo The silver bag was where he
had laid it. The unknown fellow w-survivor had
not returned. He added line to the half
sheet of notepaper &c ''WtN return tomorrow
morning al eleren-thirty" and reinserted it in
the clasp of the bag.
That night, dreading hotel peoped only
by the dead, Mark slept on bench in the
Louvre. Rising early, he took some dried fruit
and crackers from the shelves of a food store,
and breakfasted in the sedan. When he had

out some definite plan of action.
1t was then that he made a further discov-

duster to wipe the windshield, he found
diary with an elastic band around it, under
which road map had been slipped. The diary
- which he examined first - gave him the
second initial of his fellow-survivor, but little
more direct information, for it was of an
unusual kind in those days. 1t was headed,

seat in front of the Murillo, it occurred to him
for the first time that if the owner of the bag
was still alive, and remembered where she had
mislaid it, she might come back for it. He
scribbled few words on half a sheet of note

10 MAKE sure it would not be overlooked,
he inserted his note in the clasp with his card
which (as it gave his club) might be reassur-
ing; it would tell the woman that she was not
alone in the world with an Apache Then he
laid the bag down where he had found it,
and hurried to the exit.
For moment he stood at the top of the
steps, looking down the Champs -Elysees,
where those dark motionless blots lay on the
sun-lit grass or the gray stones around the
leaping fountains. He felt like man awaken
ing from wild dream to sharp realities again
How great his need for the sound of human
voice must have become when so slight a
straw of evidence as ticking watch could
send him tearing along the galleries of the
Louvre like a madman!
But as he went down the steps towards the
MA u;ha he had loft
more staggering surprise than that of the
ticking watch awaited him. In the place where
he had left his car - there was nothing. The
car had gone.
There was another car on the opposite side
of the road. He remembered that it had been
standing there when he arrived 1t was a large
sedan, not at all like the small cream-colored
car he had left at the entrance to the Louvre.
The owner of the ticking watch might easily
have taken for granted that the smaller car
had been there all the time; and that as it
was more manageable for feminine hands, it
was equally at her disposal. That would
account for the exchange.
At his first glance through the window of
the sedan he discovered something else "a
tiny red light showing on the dashboard in
dicating that the former driver. careless per-
haps, had not switched off the ignition. If this
had been left for more than a few hours the
battery would have run down. He examined
the engine; it was still hot 1t had obviously
been driven for some hours that morning.
Mark entered the car, settled himself in
the drivers seat, and in half minute was
racing down the Champs -Elysees, glancing to
right and left in search of his feow-survivor
But he saw nothing. There was nothing, in the

ADAMS finally escaped to discover that a
mysterious wave of death" had killed every
one in England but himself. Apparently
quarreling nations, on the eve of World War
III, had all possessed and used at the same
time the same secret weapon. Mark crossed
to France, where he found the same universal
death, and began to fear that he alone, of all
mankind had survived. Then, on seat in the
Louvre, he saw woman's purse, and in it he
found small wristwatch, still ticking

MARX carefully laid down the little wrist
lvl watch and examined the other contents
of the silver bag There was no clue to the
owners Identity except small lace-bordered
handkerchief with the initial E, some Italian
paper money, student s ticket to the Vatican
galleries, and the address of Professor of the
Fine Arts at Rome, who was also Vice
President of the Royal Academy of Italy.
There was letter, however, dated before the

Reading between the lines, Mark gathered
that e. was young American woman who
had been studying art in Rome. She had prob

If the watch was any guide, she could hardly
be far away now. For a moment he wondered
whether the watch had really stopped Per-
haps it had been set going again by his action
in picking it up. But it gave the correct time
- and was almost fully wound.

in the Louvre All was so silent that he must
have heard the faintest football in those echo

despite the deep Stiffness he leapt to his feet
and called again and again, is anyone there?
Hello! Is anyone there?" Only the mocking
echo from distant walls replied, rs anyone
there? Hello Is anyone there?"
He hurried, almost running, through gal
lery after gallery glancing rapidly around
each in turn, under the silent watchful eyes
of the painted men and women on the walls.
Three times he stopped, called aloud, and
stood listening. No answer. Still holding the
little silver bag, he began to retrace his steps
