(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

l LEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
 A new decontrol program is under
 way today for the nations indus tries
 1 Highly placed officials of the , Civilian Production Administration 1 say CPA chief John Small shortly will revoke a control order which
 freezes cotton looms to the produc- 1 tion of essential fabrics and an- : other order which limits the size and shape of glass containers.
 The loom freeze dates back to 1922 when the government stepped in to halt the tendency of cotton
 mills to concentrate on higher pric- ed luxury fabrics.
 In addition, Small is said to have started survey to determine what additional controls on industry can
 be scrapped, when those controls can be dropped and what agencies should be assigned remaining con- , trols when CPA goes out of busi-
 ness next March 31.
 However, Officials emphasize that industrial decontrol will be no such headlong rush as OPA's erasure of price ceilings. But they add that Smalls program will have
 cut the industrial control list to minimum by December 31.

the fogs, and not even the foghorn
sounded any longer.
Suddenly, by the dull flicker of the
flames, that lit up the whole hori-
zon, Nat could see a small white
yacht heading straight for the rocks.
Broussac's yacht He shouted, and
peals of mocking laughter came
back from somewhere near the light
house.
The yacht crew had seen its peril.
Nat could hear the race Of the en-
gines as it fought against the sweep
ing tides, to gain the middle of the
Gulf again. The vessel was so near
Nat could hear voices shouting in
despair from aboard her.
The flames were sweeping stead
lily backward, forming a brilliant
illuminant against the dark screen
of the night. The white yacht stood
out as if some inferno of flames
was playing about her, and on board
her could be seen three figures, one
of which was Broussac's.
Their gestures of despair, the
sweep of the boiling current as
the waves lifted her toward the
ledge of rocks, filled Nat with hor-
ror.
Then suddenly he heard the crash,
high above the roar of the break
ers. For a moment the yacht
seemed to remain poised in mid
air; then she vanished as the under
tow sucked her down. Now there
was nothing visible but the spume-
lashed rocks at the base of the in
visible shaft that should have shot
it's warning light far out across the
Gulf.
Again Nat heard that peal of hor-
rible laughter, dying away in a sort
of wailing cry.
Then the lighthouse boy was rum
ming up. Monsieur, he has gone
mad. He has plugged up the flow
of the oil vapor."
"Can you start the light again?"
"Assuredly, but I am afraid of
Andre"
Nat saw that Mark was on his
hIlSSS dSdAl UeSiue mdueleHlS, WilO
hung, fainting, in his arms. ''Pl
be back in few minutes" he said.
"We'n get Madame Kinross into her
cottage. Take care you don't fall
over the cliffs"
All the remaining men in st. Vic
tor, and many of the women, had
come racing along the shore road
when they saw that the light was
out. For that is something that is
supposed never to happen, perhaps
has never happened more than half
a-dozen times in the history of the
world. Then suddenly the light was
on again, and the beam was send
ing its far-reaching, one-two, one
two, across the Gulf.

"Eh? I go with you'll" shouted
the seigneur. "Come, let us hurry!
Good-by, Madeleine, my little,
precious one!"
It was the tall, gaunt figure Of
Eric Kinross that led the tired little
group. He strobe across the bridge
and plunged like a tnadman into
the smoke-filled wilderness, dashing
the bushes aside with his bare fists
They followed him, somehow be-
Geving against belief that he could
reach the cabin.
A roar of fire, a wall Of flames
leaped up against them. They re-
coiled, tried to beat their way
through, fell back-even Nat Page
fell back, dropped groaning into the
heart of the smoke. But Eric Kin
ross plunged straight into that wall
Of fire, fighting it exultantly with his
bare hands, and shouting, always
shouting.
They heard him striding along
the trail into the distance. Then the
wind blew the flames away, and Nat
and two of his men dashed through.
Following that voice, chanting and
shouting, seeing occasional faint
glirnpses of that tall figure in the
distance.
Fire all about them-then sudden
ly the cabin, one side a mass OF
flames. Eric Kinross in the cabin.
Nat Page fell back again; he could
make no further headway, and his
limbs would no longer support him.
Eric Kinross was striding out,
carrying the figure of man in his
arms, wrapped in his own smoul-
dering clothes. He was all but nude

Meanwhile Eric Kinross, Madeleine's

CHAPTER TX

And Madeleine heard! She knewl
A look of awful fear came upon her
face, but it was not such fear as
Broussac had inspired. This was
. her man, her husband, whom she
had known since she was child.
She never loved him, but she had
always respected him, and she
knew that he was incapable OF lay
ing hand upon her, however hot
his anger.
Now he was standing, towering,
before her, looking down at her.
Then he swept her into his arms
and kissed her. He paid no atten-
ton to old Andre, who, seeing that
Madeleine was safe, slipped back
to the lighthouse, where he had
left the boy, Georges, in charge.
81 have come back, Madeleine,
my little one. Are you not glad to
see me?"
81 always knew you were not
dead. Eric" she sobbed.
''But did you not know where I
had been?"
''No! Nobody would tell me. For
a long time they pretended that
you were dead, but I thought your
head had been injured by a foe,
and that you were in an insane asy-
lum, somewhere in America"
The seigneur laughed. Big men
are accustomed to treachery, which
is the defense of weaklings. It
didn't matter what lies they had
told about him.
''No, my little one, I got into
trouble on St. Pierre. There was
some good brandy there, and I
drank too much. I killed a revenue
man, but it was in fair fight.
They sent me to a prison in France,
and last month I was set free, and
so came back to you"
Madeleine couldn't speak; she
sobbed silently against his shoul-
der.
"There are debts I have to pay,
to the men who betrayed me, in
stead of standing by me-" the Seig-
neur went on, ''but tonight am
thinking only of thee. I am not quite
sane, Madeleine, cherie. In thine
arms, perhaps I shall regain my
sanity and be better able to decide
what to do. I came back intending
to kill at least one man, who OBJ
tanned money for my defense and
kept it :. where is Cousin Horace
Broussac?" Eric cried suddenly.
Il do not know" cried the girl
in sudden terror.
''He is not here?"
''Nol MOI"
''He had better not come here, if
he values that wretched life of his.
And now about this Monsieur OAR
rell, Of whom I have heard. Eh?"
He tilted Madeleine's face in his
hand and looked down into her eyes.
''He is safe in St. Victor. He must
be safe. He could not have been
trapped in that fire across the neck"
"You have not kissed me, little
one.'
''I-I cannot-yet, Eric. Oh, Eric,
understand! Twas only fifteen when
you married me, and I am a woman
now. Five years have passed. You
must give me time to make adjust
ments.
