One matter which needs to stand high in the list is leg islation which will permit cooperation especially among nat ural resource 4ndustries that will avoid waste, assure reas onable profit to the enterprise, and still not breed monopoly. It seems criminal almost to slash our great Oregon forests, one richest single resource, and do so at a loss. The same goes for copper in Montana, oil in Texas.

The formula for this is hard to write. The most serious, collapses, moral and otherwise, have been in the field of abuse of credit. The revaluation upward caused by the war threw bankers off their feet; and even the greatest of them guessed wrong on values with -serious consequences to themselves and the country. But, the worst abuse of credit lay in the emission of securities. The whole structure of holding company organization in public utilities is crumbling; and the capitalization based on thin air and ?peculative hopes is vanishing. If business will not control itself, public control will be imposed against the rapacity of investment bankers and greedy promoters. , In the field of foreign affairs the ratification of the Hoover moratorium was blighted by the action of congress in shutting the door against negotiation for readjustment of the war debts of Europe. Now the Lausanne conference with its augury of hope is in danger because of our inflexible at ' titude. As a cold business proposition we might better dicker and encourage European restoration, for our loss of world business in the past two years has been far greater than the income of foreign debts which we may not be able to col lect on anyway. When a bankrupt is being examined the chief creditor ought to be present. We will accomplish more by cooperation with Europe than by isolation. ; It seems stupid in the face of these important questions , the exploration of which should prove alluring to the states- " man, that this country should go into a frenzy over whether it should, have prohibition or -not have it. The latttr ia a subject which! stirs emotions; however so it may be the one ' the masses of 'the people will divide over, particularly when neither of the: great political parties offers anything clean cut on the great questions above outlined.

CHAPTER TWENTY -TWO Ft the blear Hght that began to filter through Colt's study, we looked at each other in wonder ment. Where were we going? The es tablished fact that Guy Everett had lied, and about such an important matter, did seem significant. But Colt was not ready to discuss the case. Instead he thoughtfully con sulted hi watch, while he told me that Gavin had phoned; the por trait of Basil was being cabled by telephoto three thousand miles to trance. It was now fire o'clock in the morning of the new year's first day. Ten o'clock in Paris," the chief reflected aloud. "Monsieur le Prefect must certainly be at his office." And such is the service which the Bell Telephone Company puts at the disposal of all police officials that In five minutes Thatcher Colt and M. Dupont, Prefect of the Pa risian S urate, were talking on the telephone with myself taking notes on aa extension. Hello" -Alio" "Monsieur Dupont?" -Mais ouL Qui est UT" Thatcher Colt." "Ah. Monsieur Colt, mon cher ami I Comment aHez-roua?" "Cest la memo petite vie, Mon sieur Dupont, et rousT" "Ah, e'est In mSme chose, Mon sieur Colt. Can I help you 7" Here the Paris police chief switched suddenly to English out of compliment to his transatlantic confrere and much to my relief. "I am tracing the history of a woman and a man," explained Colt "First I want all the facts that yon can get about the life in Paris or anywhere else of a woman now living here under the name of Lola Carewe, also known as Rosita Jorga," "Ah, ouir And M. Pupoat spelled out the names' carefully. ' i .

M. Dupont gasped. Such Impatient persons, these Americans I . "And what I am moat earnestly hoping you will see your way clear to do," pursued Colt warmly, "Is to hare one of your agents call on one Marcel Grandon, 60, Avenue Diana la the EtoOe district, I as sume show him the telephoto por trait and try to get It identified. Perhaps your people may know him it Is barely possible the young maa has a poke record." "We wffl do our best, Mr. Coltl" "Angels could dofn more, M. Dupont! A thousand thanks 1" "Pas du tout. Monsieur Colt." "Au reroir." i "An reroir." As he hung up the receiver, Colt east a rogue's grin at Dougherty. "We re getting nearer to some thing," he said, "with our picture of Basil'" "Smart as a whip and all that," ranted Dougherty, "but I stfll dont see his connection with this ease." "WeH debate that presently,1 promised Colt. "Meanwhile, Tony, wUl you please now arouse Mr. Vin cent Rowland from, his innocent slumbers and tell him I would like to speak to him on the telephone? In this announcement Dougherty displayed a lively interest. "I waa much surprised, Thatch er, be revealed, "when you put a tail on Rowland. Surely you dont suspect that eld chin-whisker of anything serious?" . Having relighted his pipe, Colt replied: "I do regard the eminent Mr. Rowland with a somewhat jaundiced eye, Dougherty. Truth is, I 1 watching him in the Mayfair din ing-room last night. Just before Lola sent us her note, inviting us into this singular : business. - He didnt wish Loin to write that note. watched him trying to tt4t her. I dont know whether I told you or not, but in my youth I mastered lip-reading. I can listen to distant conversations by watch ing mouths. I saw him implore her to hare nothing to do with me in this matter. Perhaps he feared bar ing his name mixed up In a police ease. Quito reasonably, too. Yet when we went over, ho took the credit for Inviting us." "By Georgel" glowered Dough erty. "That la curious!" "Mr. Rowland Is oa the tele phone," I announced. "Forgive me, Mr. j Rowland," be gan Colt urbanely. "I am sorry to break into your sleep. But there are one or two points the police hare to clear up. What's that? Oh. there is no doubt about it now- plain, unadulterated murder. Yea Well, it's rery kind of yod to be ready to help. I want to ask you two questions. Once, when you and I were talking in Miss Carewe's living-room last night, you started to tell me something that sounded significant. You said. There Is one curious circumstance which, maybe. I ahouldnt tell ' Remember that? No, you didnt finish it Miss Carewe interrupted us." At the other end of the wire, Vincent Rowland was hemming; nervously. "I cant imagine what that was," no protested. "Let me think." "X dont want to bring you down town at this late hour," hinted Thatcher Colt "But It is so im portant " "I remember now perfectly I' crowed Vincent Rowland. "I dont think it amounts to anything much at all. But for whatever it is worth. here tt la. I hare repeatedly warned Lola against her association with aa actor named Guy Everett Ia the first Place 1 dont think the fellow is altogether sane.

She Is was a high-tempered and tempestuous character, Mr. Colt But we had no quarrel we went out on a party together!" "Wen, what did you have words about?" I "About Guy Everett and who else? I told her she was a fool to be advising men in their invest ments. She has friends in some In vestment company downtown and sends them customers. I told her it a dangerous game. I believe the Federal Government is going to send her friends to Atlanta but I am sure Lola thinks thought they are an right And I warned her that Guy Everett was a ruined ! man and might try to strike bock, And she told me to mind my own i"tl business which I wish I had!" . "What la the name of this com- wny to which she sends her wealthy friends for investment?" "The Sock -Ribbed Seeurltieo Corporation.' "Thanks, Mr. Rowland. I will see you later la the day!" "Is that so?" groaned Ytneent Rowland, as he hung up h-i receiver. "That an sounds convincing enough," remarked Colt and Dough erty nodded sagely. He waa about to continue when Colt reached for the telephone. This time It was to instruct Flynn about looking up the Rock -Ribbed Securities Corpora, tion. This eourersatiea finished, the chief sat beck silently and lit his pipe. I knew that the tun had com to examine the evidence. But only a brief review was possible in Colt's present mood; there was too much yet to be learned. "Get out your notebook, Tony," requested the chief, "and take down our discussion during the next fire minutes." "At last we are going to find out just where wo are at!" rejoiced Dougherty with an owlish stare of his blue eyes. The District At torney set down aa empty glass, ran a big hand through his red eurls and cleared his enormous throat Impressively. "I am inclined to believe, Thatch er, that you are Ignoring the ob vious in this case looking for, subtleties that do not exist It Is all much simpler than you make outl" Colt smiled amiably and on treated the District Attorney to state his conclusions. .
