Dodson, chairman of the committee the services of Hunter and Cald- g.iged to make plans for such a plant.

PAILMGQ POET'S ceoo MOVUIlinM CHAPTER XXXIII "PEARLING!" Winfleld ex-claimed, when Lola said that they could still go to Bob Emerson's island together, despite their hostess' absence. "We will start at once!" "At once? Win!" "Well, as soon as we can arrange to have some friends go along with us. We can get busy right away and get up a party as quick as anything." Lola thought of Norman Stan-dish, then. She had sent him word of her return and wondered why she had had no reply. "Oh." she said carelessly, "dont rush me.

Win. I have a lot to do first summer sport clothes to get and everything." Meanwhile, Martha went back to her office and tried to figure It out. She could not imagine why both Lola and Winfleld should go down to the Municipal Building to see a mutual friend, as they said, who was a clerk there. But they seemed to have told the truth, for she had investigated and learned that no marriage license had been issued to them. She got in touch with Senator Balcom and told him what had happened.

"Look here. Miss Carter," the senator demanded, "did Win say his friend was a chap named Emerson?" "He didn't say." "He has a friend at the license bureau by that name a college mate whose people were caught in rhe crash. By Jove, Miss Carter. I believe I have the solution! Your detectives reported their plans to spend the summer together on some Maine coast island. This Bob Emerson owns a little island.

It all fits together." "So that was it, senator! I believe you are right. They are going to this Island and went down to see their friend to make arrangements. Well, what do you advise?" "Nothing as long as Winfleld and this Larkin girl show no indication of getting married. But keep working on the case. You must gather sufficient facts about the girl to convince my son she is not worthy of our name." 'I'll do everything humanly possible," Martha promised.

She promptly went into consultation with Johnson of the detective agency, urging him to have his operatives redouble their efforts to "get" something on Lola Larkin. HOWEVER, during the next few days, nothing worthy of note was reported. Lola and Winfleld dined together twice and went to a friend's penthouse party. But that was all. Then, Cora Standish, back from Delaware, came to Martha's office.

After one glance at her, Martha groaned inwardly. "Now what's wrong, Cora?" she asked. "That little fiend, again!" "But Cora, she couldn't have followed you and your husband to Delaware, I know her every move since she got back from Hollywood." 'She didnt follow us, but she is after Norman again, just the same. Look at this!" Cora handed her a letter addressed to Standish at the St. Boritz.

"YouU get into trouble, going through your husband's pockets and taking his letters," Martha warned severely. "He doesn't know anything about this one. He's never seen it. $500 Damage Results In Society Hall Fire Damage estimated at approxi mately $500 resulted when fire of undetermined origin brote out early yesterday morning at the Christopher Columbus society hall, 1323 Ninth a.venue. The loss is covered by insurance.

Discovered at 5:30 o'c'ock by the club's steward, G- B. Longo, of 1307 Ninth avenue, the flames apparently had their inception in or about the second floor auditorium stage. The blaze spread through the second floor joists and the metal ceiling of the first floor. Most Of the damage causeu by the fire is represented principally to the repair work being done to the hall in anticipation of the celebration of Columbus day which will be observed on Oct. 12.

Company No. 5 responded to the first -alarm, a still, being joined a short time later when a general alarm summoned companies Nos-6 and 7 and truck B. The three companies were required to lay hose lines in their battle with the flames. Publishers Praise State Publicity Campaign HARRISBURG, Sept. 14.

UP) The campaig- to popularize the state as an ideal vacation-land was praised today by a group of Pennsylvania newspaper publishers. An advisory committee of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers' association talked over the publicity drive with Secretary of Highways Warren Van Dyke, chafrman, and Col. Ernest G. Smith, member of the state publicity commission now conducting a "Sell Pennsylvania" program with a $500,000 fund. Superintendent Speaks At Student Assembly Superintendent R- E.

Laramy spoke to the students of Roosevelt Junior High school in a special assembly period at the school this morning. Mr. Laramy's subject was' "Others" in which he dealt with the consideration which should be howa others in daily contacts. ARTHA removed the note from the envelope and read: Old Dear: You are in for a scolding, and worse. I simply can't understand you.

Haven't you ant courage at all? You used to have plenty. You can't leave me dangling like this. Either you clear this up or I will go to your wile myself! "M-m-m," Martha muttered frowning. "No signature." "Naturally not," Cora rasped now more angry than tearful. "But there is no mistaking whom it's from." "Oh, there is no doubt but what Miss Larkin wrote it.

Cora." "What shall I do?" "Let me think," Martha begged. "We can't get anywhere by thinking. It's action that countf now, and quick action," Cora Standish almost shouted. "Thr thing to do is for me to go straight to Norman and tell him that 1 know all about this creature. Lola Larkin, and ask what his intentions are "And have him give you some smooth lies for the time being and then disappear with her?" "Do you think he would?" Cora was on the verge of tears again.

"What do you think, Cora?" "That's just it, Martha I don't know what to If I did. I'd know what to do." "Of course, when Miss Larkin next sees your husband, she'll want to know why he didn't reply to this." Martha waved the note. "When he learns about it, he'll suspect you took it which will mean a lot of unhappy fireworks." "Oh, dear!" "This is no time to cry," Martha declared. "Now Miss Larkin doubtless telephoned your hotel and learned that your husband was away for a few days. "So she sent this note.

Another day or so will pass before she thinks he ought to be back, and tries to get in touch with him. During that time. I'll see Miss Larkin again and, believe me. 111 see she doesn't snoot me and then run out on me! I'll make her put her cards on the table face up." "Well, do something, please, Martha. And work fast," Cora begged.

THE next day, about ten o'clock, when Martha came back to her office after a brief errand, Rosa handed her a memo. It read: A Mr. Standish would like for you to meet him in the lobby of the St. Boritz at 3 o'clock this afternoon. "When did he phone?" Martha asked excitedly.

"Not ten minutes ago. Miss Carter. He just said to tell you to phone him back if you could not meet him. Otherwise, he will expect you." Martha nodded and went into her private office. "You can just bet, Norman Standish, that I will meet you!" she muttered, and then she began to make plans.

(To be continued) (The characters in this serial are fictitious) POLICE COURT Charged with being drunk, disorderly and resisting arrest, Fred W. Mears, 47, a business man of Mt. Vernon, N. was arraigned in police court yesterday morning before Alderman Robert A. Conrad, presiding magistrate, and assessed a fine of $50.80.

Mears' arrest was the" result of trouble which he caused as a passenger aboard a Pennsylvania railroad train after it had left Harris-burg. He is said to have struck a cook on the diner.

Mears broke away when Officer MacCartney was loath to use undue force. Sergeant Paul Robinson and Officer J.

Edward Wertzberger later took Mears into custody on Eleventh avenue. Mears admitted at the police court hearing that he had been drinking but denied any knowledge of what had transpire'd during the night. Before leaving the city for a business conference in Pitts burg he apoiog-zed to Officer MacCartney for his Hospitil authorities at the state ii stitution locvJ at Nevada, have been apprised of the arrest of Roy O.
