Too Many Beans‘ A A ll l All

CHAPTER. J9

Things were in such a wild stats of confusion at the Le Masters house for the next few days that the robbery at the theater was al- most forgotten.

Nothing had been heard from Zanic Lou and Johnny. scoop cali- ed at Dick Le Masters’ ofllcc and told him his theory of the mystery. There was little doubt that Johnny and Zanie Lou had left together. Mr. Le Masters put the best private detectives he could flnd on their trail, and left the rest to them.

Jane Lee was too ill to worry as to what had happened to her daughter- For days she lay in a stupor, and the doctor came sev- eral times a day. It was the most serious kind of nervous breakdown. he said gravely, and ordered that she be removed to a Sanitarium as soon as she was able to travel.

Sugar wanted to be her sister's nurse. But Dr. Griffin had brought in both a day and night nurse and forbidden the family to go farther than the door of her room.

This gave Sugar nothing to do but take care of Skeeter. And the first thing she did. with the consent of her brother-ln-law, was to send Dillie back to her husband and set herself up as ruler of the nursery.

She was shocked that first even- ing when she left Mrs. Simms and went in research of the baby to find him playing dismally on the floor of the nursery alone. He had lost all the weight he had gained when she was with him, and he didn't look as if a ray of sunshine had struck him since she went away.

When Skeeter had looked up and saw Sugar in the doorway he began to sob pitifully, and she gathered him in her arms and promised again never to leave him. That night, instead of taking the beauti- ful roorn Eurasia had said was to be her very own, she moved back to her little bed in the nursery. And wild horses could not have pulled her away.

At first it was diflicult for the baby to learn to say "Aunt Patsy Ann." But he soon forgot that she had been Mlsus Shoegar. Some- times when Sugar remembered that Skeeter was her nephew she would have to pick him up in his sleep and hold him close to satisfy the tweet hunger in her heart.

While Jane Lee lay 1ike u dead woman in her bed, her husband puzzled over the best thing to do about revealing the story of Sugar Friddle to a puzzled Lorien. Then, he decided sensibly, there was only one course.

It was Scoop who prepared the story in his most dramatic style, and took it to the editory of the

Lorien Blade. There, taking up a column in bold black type on the front page, it was blazoned to a gasping Lorien.

Better the truth than a garbled small-town version of the mystery. Dick had decided, and Cart had agreed with him. Alter all, both Mr. and Mrs. Langworthy were dead and ti]? truth could not hurt anyone e e.

It was three weeks after Sugar learned that she was Zanie Lou Langworthy that Scoop called and asked to see her. She was sorry she had neglected him for so long. So she told him to come right to the house, and waited in the library.

Sugar was shocked when she saw her old protector. He. looked as thought he had lost pounds. '

She went up and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Oh, Scoop." she said happily, “it's good to see you again!"

"Same to you!" His eyes lingered hungrily on her little face.

She was older, he decided. More like a woman, after all she had been through. There was a sweet gravity in her face that made her even more beautiful than when he first loved her.

"How is your sister?" he asked, to make conversation, ’ "The doctor says she's better. But she can't sit up yet. It will be sev-

eral months before she is really well,\, I'm afraid."

There was a strained aiencc be- tween them. Sugar laug ed nar- vously.

‘ f‘We seem to be tongue-tied. By the way, Mr. O'R.eilly, how is your book coming along "

“That's one thing I came to tell you. I finished ‘When l. Man Loves’ today."

"Oh, I'm glad," Sugar smiled. “I know it will be wonderful."

"I should surprise you. But iio you mind if I dedicate it to you?"

Sugars eyes grew round with amazement.

"Scoop! I'd be thrilled to death! You can't be serious!"

“Honor bright, Inllypop."

“What would you say " she hug- ger herself excitedly.

"I wanted to dedicate it to Sugar Ih-iddle. But I decided you might like 1t better if I said ‘To Patsy Ann for the most exciting summer of my life, Uncle Reilly?‘

Sugar brushed at her eyes.

“That's precious] You make me want to weep."

Scoop shook his head solemnly.

“Anything but that, Lollypop. I never want to see you weep again. Why should you? You've everything in the world to live for now. ‘From now on life should be one gay song. You-are happier, aren't you?"

Sugar smiled wistfully.

"Oh, yes. It's strange how happy I am. Maybe I'm not very deep. I seem to have forgotten all the sad .hings, and all the dreadful things. I wonder sometimes if I'm fickle. I can't even seem to worry about Johnny." .

“Don't apologize for a. capacity to be happy," Scoop said gravely. “It's a precious gift.”

He got up and straightened his shoulders.

"This is a farewell visit, too, Lollypop. I'm leaving for New York in the morning."

“Oh," Sugar looked crestfallen. “Must you go away?"

Scoop steeled himself to keep from taking her in his arms and telling of his love. For he knew it would not be best. She was a Lang- worthy and the world from-then on would be her oyster. He was only an Irish roustabout newspaper man, and not worthy of so great a prize.

“Sure? He turned from the wist- ful sorrow in her eyes. “Ilhey can't run the Democrat without me. It's back to the Gay White Way for your Uncle Reilly. Where it's nice and quiet and nothing much ever happens. This town is too exciting for me!"

(C. I’. By Glllrdlnds Special WI")

(YITAWA, Dec. 1'1. - Canadian content in automobiles proved the basis of a. sharp division of "vleiv between Canadian manufacturers who appeared before the Tariff Board today at the hearing into the automobile industry. The preseu regulations require motor cars tc contain 50 percent, of Canadin; materials and labor in order i qualify as Canadian-made and s escape the duty on imported cars.

The Ford Motor Company Lint ted through its President, W. R Campbell, submitted the Canadian content requirements should be higher but other manufacturer"! submitted it should be relaxed to permit of a. 40 percent content on one line of cars providing the man- ufacturer maintained an average of 50 percent for all the cars he pro- duced. ,

Al! were agreed the tariff on fin- ished cars should be maintained at its present level or increased. The group favoring more liberal regula- tions respecting Canadian content were the members of the Canadian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, General Motors, Chrysler, Stude- baker, Hudson and International Harvester Companies. .

Mr. Campbell submitted a lengthy brief and the Ford presentation took up most of the day. l-le said the present system of tariffs, regu- lations and drawbacks on motor cars and parts was chaotic and should be revised.

The tariff on low priced cars, now 20 percent and soon to be 17% per- cent under the United States trade treaty, did not provide sufficient protection, he said. Oh the ques- tion of Canadian content Mr. Camp- bcll argued the making of parts of cars provided more work than the assemify of imported parts and should be protected by a rising of the _ca.nadla.n content requirements.

For the Canadian Automobile chamber of Commerce E. G. Long submitted the present Canadian content requirements made it diffi-

‘cult for manufacturers of my. made

in small volume. to produce in Can- ada. If they were lowered to 40 per- cent for single types of cars while keeping an average of so percent manufacturers would be able to ap- ply their surplus Canadian content on popular lines of cars to cars of another type.

The manufacturers refused to disclose their production costs be- fore a public hearing of the Board or to counsel representing the pro- vincial governments. C. H. 011a]- loran for British Columbia, R. T. Graham for the Prairie Provinces. and Wishart Robertson for the Maritime Provinces, Joined in a. re- quest for this information but chairman George H. Scdgewick ruled it was confidential and need not be disclosed.

Mr. 0'Hullorun said the manu- facturers in their briefs had ap- peared anxious to confuse and con- ceal everything in connection with cos-ts. The man on the street wan- ted to know why he had to pay so much more for a car in Canada than in the United States and it was in the interests of the Board and the manufacturers themselves to make public figures showing ex- actly how the selling price of cars in Canada was made up.

The Canadian people paid about $42,000,000 a year for the privilege of having an automobile industry in Canada, said Mr. O‘Ha!loran, and were entitled to know why such a large outlay was necessary.

OTTAWA, Dec. 11-111 a brief’ submitted to the Tariff Board tn- day by the IPord Motor Company comparative costs of a Ford Tudor Sedan delivered at Toronto and Buffalo were cited to show the differential in prices between the two countries.

‘These items follow:

During the half century of serv- ice, Mr. Clarkin has filled about every position in the gas works in connection with the manufacture oi‘ gas. He has seen a lafgfi Pa" °7 the development of the gas business in Charleston.

He recalls when the peak send- out came at Christmas time. when some 500,000 cubic feet would be the day's output, and it was some Job in those days to meet the de- mand.

He saw the damage done to the system by the earthquake of 1088. During the earthquake gas was Mt completely shut off in the city, al- though there were many breaks in the mains. Emergency repair crews from the North were sent to Char- leston to assist in the repairs.

During the storm of I893, gas was off in the city for a day or so be- cause of a broken and flooded main.- At that time the Washington street gas holder was under construction.

Mr. Clarkln was employed by ‘Thomas Turner, president of the Gas company. At the time he was first employed. coa! gas was manu- factured. "
