Carolina Mas ter Action Next Week BOISE, Ida., Nov. 17. The Na tional Orange wae called upon today to endorse an acreage reduction pro gram that would not throw an unfair burden upon southern atatee. The resolution was Introduced by D. B. Anderson, state master of South Carolina, who declared for a reduction of acreage as suggested by National Master Louis J. Taber in his annual address yesterday. Anderson tagged It with a request, however, that take Into consideration the fact thftt southern states already had. reduced their cotton acreage and urged that any blanket acreage curtailment not taking note of this would work hardship on cotton growers. Wants Fair Program. A part of his resolution specified that whatever system of acreage re ductlon was adopted should make provision that land taken from pro' ductlon In one commodity should not - be permitted to go again Into pr ductlon of other commodities to the , extent of causing additional distress. Action on the resolutions, Master Taber said, likely will not come be fore the first of next week. He ex pected a. series of other resolutions : to come In bearing on what he con sidered the "three vital matters be- ' fore the Orange and the country.1 These he listed as money, rural credit and agricultural adjustment, In his own address yesterday Taber urged expansion of the currency, call It reflation." he said. Lower Interest Aim. He declared lower interest will be - demanded by the Orange If It follows previous actions, and described this as essential to agricultural recovery. He considered It unlikely any specific rate of Interest will be suggested, Agricultural adjustment matters are "still In a nebulous state," he said, as far as Orange action on them la concerned. ' "The Orange demands that control of agriculture come back to com' modlty cooperatives rather man left in the hands of bureaucratic authority," he said. Methods for bringing this about, he said, have not yet been suggested In resolutions.

(Associated Preaa Photo) t T TO PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 17. (AP) More than 13,000 men have been re turned to work In the west coast lumber lndutry at Increased wages since the lumber code authority al located restricted operating time among 348 mills, It waa aald here today by E. A. Belfrldge. assistant deputy administrator. The 12,000 men have been added. he said, despite the fact that two- shift mills have been restricted to one shift. "Restricting theee mills to one shift was necessary," Selfrldgo said, In order that the code authority carry out the request of the admin istration to spread the maximum number of operating hours among the greatest number of mills over the widest area. "It would-be unfair to allow long er operating houra to one locality, ana so curtail operation and em ployment In another locality." Commenting on the auit filed this Week In federa: court by the Wil lamette Valley Lumber company of uauas to oDtain an Inunction re straining the lumber code authority iram eruorclng production restric tions, 8elf ridge said: "The renpany naa lull latitude to oper. te two shifts If In the aggregate Its pro duction of lumber does not exceed the equivalent of 30 .hours In actual operating time per week." WILL BE DESCENDANT OF AS DOLUR DROPS NEW YORK, Nov. 17. (AP) For elgners are converting dollar Invest' ments Into dollar goods, according to International bankers. In other words, holders of Ameri can liberty bonds In Paris, as they see the dollar go down, sell their bonds and buy American automo biles, or American machinery. The American holder of a liberty bond Is not much concerned about the declining dollar In the foreign exchange market, since the fixed In terest he receives will buy about as much here as It would before. The holder in Paris, however, who holds, for Instance, a four per cent American bond of 91000 par value. will get a 920 aeml-annual Interest payment which is worth only little more than 300 French francs, against trifle over 400 French francs a few months ago, when the dollar was at par. That hurts. So foreign holders of gilt-edged American bonds have been selling them. This has been one of the depressing factors In the bond market In the past few days. On the other hand, some exporters are beginning to note an Increased demand for American gooda from abroad. While the confusion In the foreign exchange markets makes It difficult to do business, they say that the dollar has fallen to such levels that dollar prices of goods are becom lng bargain prices to Europeans. 4 IED PAINT, CHARGE PORTLAND.

"Why, how d'you do, Mr. Tennyson! 1 didn't know you at flrat, you've changed so. Glad to have you with us again, air." His tone Implied that a man who had been down In the far North hunt ing wolves by plane over the snow wastes of the Great Barrens, was lucky to be back In Edmonton alive. "Mr. Dosplalnes Is with you, I suppose. Would you like something nice, a tbree-rcom suite?" "Make It one room," Curt bade, for he had less than fifty dollars and his partner had nothing. He signed for himself and Smash Desplalnea. "By the way, Lacelle, will you ask the desk clerk to phone around to the other hotels and find out where A. K. Murlln Is staying? Superin tendent .Marlin of the Mounted face almost aa dark aa an Indian's. There waa a quiet power about him which set him off from other adven turers of the North who occasionally appeared In the capital for a day or two. They were usually breezy, ro bust, likable; he was poker-faced and silent, with an air of cold aloof ness that repelled people. UPSTAIRS In but room, Curt glanced out the window Into the hotel court where the golden June sun lay like a benediction over the flower beds and promenade; and be marveled at the contrast between his world of today and bis world of yesterday. Today an elite botel, snowy linen, a gleaming bath, servitors at the push of a button: while yesterday at that same hour be and Smash and Paul St. Clair bad been frying a whiteflsb for breakfast on the lone ly muddy shore of Great Slave Lake! After hie year of absence he had looked forward eagerly to visiting the city again, but now that he actually waa back he felt disap pointed. The city Jarred on him. That savage beautiful land, with Ha mountains and blue lakea and foot-loose freedom, had become his home, and It drew him back like the arms of a loved one. After his harsh years abroad and his seven un- i m rm almost afraid of you. You re like a breath right out ot the North!" "And you" he held her off at arm's length and surveyed her "you re looking sweeter than ever, Rosalie. And still hitting off the old fast pace, I see." He gestured at thedlsordered room which apoke of her return from some party late last night her cape and dancing pumps flung one way, a corsage of red rosebuds on the floor, ber silk frock lying where she bad stepped out of It. "Where's A-K still asleep?" "No. He got up early and went over to visit the detachment here In town. He'll be back any time. Let s sit down." She put ash-try and matches between them on the divan "I'm dying for a big long talk. Your letters were as stingy as cablegrams from Borneo. Tell me all about everything your wolf-bunting, pros pecting, this Job the Consolidated offered you, how long you're going to be In Edmonton, and Just every thing." CURT grinned at ber tumbling questions. It was good to be chatting with Rosalie again. Sbe was like Smash Desplalnea, carefree, pleasant, a good companion for light hearted hours. He had long since SYNOPSM: Curt Tennyson has returned to Edmonton after a win ter spent in the sub-Arctio hunting icolvee in an t '-plane. He linde a note from hie former superintend ent in the Mounted Police, A. E. Marlin. aekUg Cw. not to tie up with any proposition before eeeing him. Curt aose to Uarlin's rooms in the hotel, and finds pleasure loving Rosalie Marlin. his fiance's. Then Rosalie's father aomes in. Chapter Two DANGEROUS JOB TPHB sight ot bis old officer sent a warm glow through Curt. Dur ing those seven years wltb the Police, Marlin bad been his fine friend, a kind ot second father to blm. Hla engagement to Rosalie seemed a fitting climax to the un derstanding friendship between her father and himself. "It's mighty good to see you again, son!" Marlin greeted, wltb a strong handclasp. "You're looking as fit as a bigb-power rifle! The North must have agreed with you tremendously. Curt" Rosalie flitted Into the next room to dress. As the two chatted for a tew moments In the casual way of men who once bad been very close to each otber but had drifted apart, Marlin studied Curt searchlngly. A year ago, when Curt Tennyson resigned from the Mounted, he bad been a sick man, not so much phya- the Mounted without ever having a dime ahead or the pleasures tbat otber young men had; and his year down north had been the Drat sunlit period In bis whole life. His affection tor Curt, bis broad human sympathy, prompted blm to say nothing about this other mat ter. But necessity left blm no choice. Last September a big case had burst upon the Vancouver di vision, their biggest since the war. and the worst failure In their his tory. The Silent Squad bad worked on It all winter, be bad worked on It himself, tbe Commissioner bad eent two specials from Ottawa: but no body had got anywhere wltb It, When he thought of the brilliant Jobs tbat young Tennyson used to turn In, ot his uncanny skill, of bow they all uted to depend on blm In hopeless cases, he felt tbat Curt stood at least a chance on this search, where tbe others had long since tbrown up their hands and quit. "-1URT" be glanced around and lowered nis voice, anu tuen plunged directly Into the business "what I wanted to see you about Is this: Over at Vancouver there was a man called Farrell. speculator and promoter ot tbe shady type.

He was to get In from Van couver yestorday." He and Miss Rosalie are right here with us, Mr. Tennyson. That reminds me" Lacelle turned and reached a letter trom tbe mall rack "the superintendent asked me to hand yon this when you registered. If you're having conferences with him, I'll give you a room near his suite." Curt ripped tbe envelope and read Marlins lettor. It waa brief, puzzling. As 1 wirelessed you at Fort Reso lution, Hoaulle and l'l be In Ed monton for sovcral dnys: and I'd like to see you ns soon as you come In trom Great Slave. I hear thnt the Consolidated Minerals have offered vou a Job. Don't tie up with them dennltely till you get In touch with me: I've got a proposition of the ut most Importance to talk over wltb you. A-K. Curt frowned uneasily aa be read the note again. Just what was this "proposition"? Hardly a bid for blm to rejoin the Mounted Police; A-K surely knew be would never go back Into the Force. "Utmost Importance" when A-K said tbat. It meant something extraordinary. With a alight limp, hie rollc ot a war-time crack-up, he crossed the lobby to the elevator where a bell hop waa waiting with his key and duffle bag. A number of people, loitering over their morning newspapers, looked up. saw him, followed him with In terested curious glances His rough flying clothes and the goggled hel met In his hand told them he was an aviator. Thirty-two or -three, he was only medium tall but aa hard ened as a range wolf, with lean Jaw. thin ascetlo lips and hawk-sharp gray eyes. Exposure to summer sun and win ter wooly-whlpper had weathered hla pleasant years In the Mounted, be had come Into sunlit happiness down north. Though he had been In Edmonton only an hour, hn already wished he were In his plane again and heading down the Athabasca, Slave and broad Mackenzie to the musk-ox prairies and white-wolf mountains of the sub-Arctic Curious to know what A-K wanted of blm so urgently, he bathed and shaved, changed to bla "civilized" clothes, and stepped down the cor ridor to the Marlin suite. At his knock he heard a qnick tripping footstep; the door opened an Inch or two; he bad a glimpse of Rosalie Marlin, her eyes still heavy wltb sleep, the candelabra behind her shimmering In ber lovely au burn hair. He had caught ber In amusing negligee one cheek rouged, a powder puff In ber band, a dressing robe flung hastily about her shoulders. . The pretty frown on her face vanished Instantly when she saw who had knocked. "Curt!" she cried, opening the door wide. "You? Five minutes ago I was dreaming about you, and bers you are!" She flung her arms about blm and stood tin toe for bis hug and kiss. "When did you get In? Why didn't you wire loss ns you were coming? Why didn't you give me a ring Just now, so you wouldn't catch me like this?" "Waa mean of me," Curt admit ted, patting her disheveled hair. "Smash and I Just got In. Our plane Is out at Cooking Lake. We left Athabasca at two this morning--" Rosalie whistled. "Six hundred miles, before other people are up! In the old days that same trip used to take Dad from Christmas till February!" She drew him In, shut the door with a deft touch ot ber toe. "Curt, you're looking eo keen! J realized that he did not love her very wildly, but be bad gone thirty two yeara without meeting a girl he liked better than Rosalie Marlin, and he was a bit cynical about find ing any "ideal" person. Rosalie was undeniably pretty, she bad 'the charm of youth and glowing health, she was Intensely alive: and the bond between her father and himself was already as strong as a blood relationship. Be sides all that, she fitted exquisitely Into the now and pleasant way of life which had boen hie during the past year. "The wolf hunting," he answered her questions categorically, "was great; we bagged more than three hundred, and got nine thousand dol lars bounty on 'em. but with gas at five to fifteen dollars a gallon down In tbat country, we Just about broke even. The prospecting last summer and this spring was like most pros pecting a lot of hopes but not much luck. "This Consolidated offer. It's pretty nice. Tbe Consolidated Is prospecting tbat country by air. and their field manager Just got killed In a crack-up. so they offered me the place. I'd have ten machine and about sixty men in my charge." "But does It pay anything?" Curt thought her question rather pointed. "Well, yes seventy-five hundred a year." Before he could ask her what thle "proposition" of her father's was. the door opened and Superintendent Marlin, a ruddy-faced man of sixty with Iron-gray .hair and tired, stooped shoulders, came Into the room. , cent of ths total wages paid on con atrurtton project .la resulted In rspid increase m bom building In j Fress.terin church here.

Glenn LaTinlng who ha 'been here cally as In spirit As head of In telligence tor the western divisions, he had led a bard life, fraternizing wltb gangster circles, following trans to European capitals, and Ut- lng tor months wltb' ths narcotic traffickers on tbe west coast. Three years of that work usually put a man on the rocks: but Tenny. son had been In dally contact with It, and the very worst of It, for seven years. Besides nearly wrecking his health, It had distorted bis whole outlook. He bad seen so much of crime, he had looked down Into depths of depravity so long and so steadily, that he bad lost faith In human virtues. "Thank God, you've come out of It, son!" Marlin thought fervently. For he saw that Curt had completely shaken off that miasma. A year In the far North prospecting, flying, hunting the gray phantom packs, had put him In shape again. "Haven't had breakfast. Curt?" he asked. "Neither have I. Let's go down. We can talk there." He took a document from a locked brief case and thrust It Into his pocket. "Ro salle'll excuse us; she bas bers sent up." A 9 they went down the corridor he Inquired, "What sort of an offer did tbe Consolidated make you. son?" "Oh, nothing to write home about," Curt stalled, wanting to find out first what Marlln's "proposition" was. "It's Just fair, and rather un expected." "When would you have to be on the Job with them?" "By the end of, this week. Tbe Ice Is out now, and the summer In that country Is so short that every day counts." Marlin said nothing more Just then. They went down to tbe break fast room, found a window table to themselves. When the waiter bad brought their coffee and taken their order. Marlin dropped a lump of sugar Into bis cup and thoughtfully watched the bubbles come up. He could sea tbat Curt was eager about tbe Consolidated job. and tor several reasons be bated to break Into those plans As be well knew, Curt's boyhood on that bleak Mani toba farm had been harsh and exlg gent: he had given seven years to gave out tbat he was an English man, but he's not. He's a Russian, and bia real name Is Karakban, Igor Karakhan. I'll give yon a bit ot his background; Lord knows It cost us enough work. During tbe Soviet Revolution in '17 he got out of Rus sia and went to to " Marlin reached into his pocket for the docu ment "and went to" "Germany," Curt supplied lacon ically. He had glanced up wltb sud den interest at tbe mention of Karakban's name. Now he smiled at A-K's sudden start. "In Berlin- in 1920." be went on, coolly taking ths story away from Marlin, "Karakhan bad a band In tbat Engelmeyer money-printing scandal. In Paris hs swindled his fellow-emigres on a confidence game and then cleared out for Buenos Aires" "Walt a minute!" A-K gasped. "Why, you must know the man! Where when how under heaven did you get this data on him?" 'From tbe Justice Department of the States. I. used to trade Informa tion with them." Marlin leaned back, looked at Curt with amazed eyes. "Well! I thought I was pulling something out ot the bag that'd be new to you, and then yon begin telling me things about It) D'you know what Karak han did In the Argentine?" he de manded, as though be expected to stump Curt Yes, I know, A-K. And I know what he did afterward, too. The League of Nations Investigators got too hot after him, so be skipped north to Mexico and ran whisky to Los Angeles. The States nicked blm for two schooners, and he came on to Vancouver. I was keeping tab on blm there when I burned out and re signed." a Marlin did not speak till the wait er had refilled their water glasses' and withdrawn. Then: "I've got a departmental report on him here. but there's no use showing It to you; you know as much about him al ready aa our men who've worked nine months on tbe case." "Let me see It," Marlin handed over a ten-page dossier. (Covvriaht. Kit. IVilKam B Uoiceru) Tomorrow, Curt tikes A-K's ri. quest under advisement. The sfternoon was spent In sewing carpet rags.
