. ' . " . "" PAGC 8EYEN V 1 s ft D MASTER of MONEY a I : BY ROY VICKERS "Don't forget that we are husband and wife for another couple of months or o." CHAPTER LIU. Fatigue blunted her sensibili ties. Alan loved her and It was more than possible that she had killed him by taking him thai long Journejt In the car. She could . not even feel anxiety on that score. It was impossible to nurse him. Doctors would not come up-country, so there had been no alternative to Taking him down. Her emotional being was numb ed, and her active consciousness saw' only the necessity to keep the camp in order and he work going until he could return to take com mand of It. She went to the house in Kala maria,' bathed and forced herself to take a meal, then set herself to the task of driving back to the "camp. She had no doubt that she would arrive. Her fatigue had passed beyond the immediate want for sleep and she knew that, ltuteed were, she could go on mov ing and working for several days end nights. For the first time in her life she was drawing on the immense reserves of strength and nergy she had built up by years of healthy living. She reached the shack an hour had planned It and tan work would do the name. - Although he did not know it Abramovel was, in effect, made general manager of the camp. . He spoke four languages, like most of the Macedonians above the In- boring . classes, and possessed English as a gift The first day he troubled her little and by the second day she had slept off her fatigue and plunged with full strength into arranging supplies, pay nod the details of the ork. Every day she received mythical orders from Alan, which planned overnight, and spent the day. in seeing to their execution. In six days the metals were laid and a short train puffed through the camp laden with stone for completing the last few miles of the track. It was on that day that Roger appeared in the camp. "" It van during the Ust hour of work. Shirley was Hit the shack. enacting quantities, when a o at brought him In. ror a moment she stared at him helplessly, believing that his appearance wan an hallucination. fHnllo, Shirley,- be said shamefacedly. Tm sorry to dis turb yon. wanted to sea Bren naway." At the sound of his voice Shir ley stiffened and pulled herself together. "He Is not here he wont he here for a week, perhaps longer," she said coldly. "Why hate yon come here, Roger?" Uninvited, he seated himself. "Can I have a drink, Shirley?" "Ton can -have lime juice and water if yon like. We have no alcohol here." He made a grimace and took the proffered drink. "Are yon living here with him?" . . . Yon must find it pret ty ghastly!" he remarked. "Will you tell me why yem have come, Roger?" she persisted. "This is a rather chilly recep tion, my dear," he said ironically. "Don't forget that we are husband and wife for another "couple of months or so. Also don't forget, please, that I am chief sharehold er la kaeedoniaa Development. That, perhaps, will explain why I have eome. Shirley glared at Mas. The work was Alan's and , here and to hear him claiming it aa his made her angry. "That Isn't true. Alan took the shares from yon la return for the money yon owe him." She watched him smile in the way she had detested of old. "X see he does not take 70a wholly Into his confidence," said Roger. "Brennaway offered to take a million and a quarter in shares in return, for his half-mil-lion investment but as even I cannot affard to rnn the risk of paying back a million and a quar ter for the use of a halt million for one year, I thought I would come out and see exactly what is being done with my property." Shirley was at a loss. She re membered that Alan had written to Roger the day before he went up-country and she had assumed that the whole matter had bees arranged. "I don't follow aU this," she said wearily. "Ton had better go back to Salonika and wait until Alan can see you. He is ill and will not be able to do any busi ness for some little time." "And hat left 70s la charge, ah?" suggested Roger. "Well. I doat think I need trouble him and Fro certainly no aestre to spend aa unnecessary day in thlr abomlaable country. Ton can tell him all X want to know which is simply how far you're got towards completing the railway. I under stand that is the crux of the whole matter. "I can't discuss his affairs with yon. said Shirley. "But why not? There is, no breach of confidence. His affairs are mine, as far as this company is concerned. It is only a matter of courtesy on your pari I can get an order from the court can celling the power of attorney I gave him and then can demand to see all the papers and reports." "An order of the court!" she laughed bitterly. "What use do you think an order of the court would be to you in this camp, Roger?" "(To be continued)! CONSTABLE TO HANG JERUSALEM, Feb. 6. (AP) Constable Hinkis, accused of shooting fire Arabs in the rioting at Jaffa, August 25, was sentenced to deatlr today. An appeal has been filed. Jt ! llllfl DRIVER DIES UTILE. GROSSING WOODBURN. Feb. t. (Spe cial) Ed Wells, West Wood burn farmer, was killed instantly when he was hurled against a telegraph pole by a northbound Oregon Electric wrecking train at the West Woodburn crossing Just after noon Wednesday. Wells car, a light sedan in which he was driving east, was a total wreck, having been struck near the rear wheel and flung with great force into the ditch. Wells was the only occupant of the au tomobile. Following the accident the the ory was advanced that It may have been caused by Wells' ex pecting the train to slow up as it approached the crossing. He was thrown violently from the machine, his head striking the telegraph pole. Wells is survived by his widow, two daughters, Mrs. Thaddeus Harper of West Woodburn and Mrs. Gladys Moore of Salem, . a son, Raymond of West Woodburn, ' and a. brother, Virgil of West ' Woodburn.

He previously boached at West Virginia and Dartmouth. He will go to Eugene February 22. before c'awn and war greeted by Petros who, refusing to sleep, had squatted outside the shack await ing her return. She was able to feel gratitude for his devotion, but he was too Ignorant of the customs of the country to attempt to express It. She knew that it would be foolish to lie down, and while Petros prepared her a meal she wrote to Alan. "Dear Alan, get well as quick ly as you can and don't worry about anything. Tour plans were successful in every detail. Ste phanos and his whole band have been destroyed. With the help of the foremen I shall be able to carry on here juntil you are fit. I witl send a letter down every day by the supply lorries telling you what we are doing. Your Shir ley." She enclosed it in a covering letter to the hospital authorities, requesting them to give it to Alan as soon as he recovered full con sciousness. It was no idle assurance. While in the camp she had seen some thing of Alan's organization, his foresight and ability to provide for the possible failure of others.
