FOURTH INSTALMENT Synopsis What Happened Before At a party in Palm Beach given by Mr. Cooper Clary, Leeson, an attorney, meets Lucy Harkness, known as Devil-May-Care because of her adventurous, eventful life. In a game in which partners for the evening are chosen, Lucy is won by Tom Stevens, who has a great reputation as a successful heart-breaker. Leeson is a bit jealous. Tim Stevens tells Lucy they are going aboard his boat, the Minerva, and she accedes in order not to be "a quitter." Asked if she is sorry that he won her company, Lucy says she is not and that evidently Fate has arranged it. Tim thereupon tells her to stop looking regretfully after Leeson. Aboard Stevens' boat, the Minerva, Stevens tells Lucy of his love. When she replies with contempt for him, he grows violently angry and she becomes afraid of him. He says he will never let her go from the Minerva until she accepts him. To escape him, she leaps into the water from her cabin window, swimming a short distance under water. Lucy reaches land and meets Dr. Fergus Faunce on an island. He takes care of her and takes her home. Everyone is worried about her, and when she meets Steve, he is frantic, regretful and still ardent in protestations of love. Now Go On With the Story "We start from here; then; I took you away with me; I frightened you; I drove you to almost certain death. But . . we start from there. Is that it?" "From where else could we start?" she countered. "And you . . . you can't forgive me, Lucy Harkness?" "Can you make me? That seems to A nice-looking boy, she told herself as he advanced eagerly. Clean, well built, and enthusiastic. She liked this latter quality in him. She liked fresh anger in the viewpoint of life. Too much of it had gone from her; perhaps because the people she knew, played around with were too sophisticated, too ennued with the business of living. Perhaps she could regain some of it from Leeson. "You didn't come back to Mrs. Clary's last night," he accused, as he bent over her hand. "Did you expect me to?" she inquired. "Of course. I hoped so." But you lost," she said. On a foul," he reminded her. She shrugged. "We threshed that out last night. I like winners, as I told you." "Did Stevens keep you away?" he asked. She straightened in her chair. "That's a strange question," she told him. He brushed his forehead nervously. "Well, Mrs. Clary was worried, and . . I don't like Stevens, you know." "Losers never care for victors," she mocked. "It isn't that . . alone. But when Stevens came and falated in Mrs. Clary's patio . . . and you hadn't answered the telephone . . ." "After parties I regain my gritish color by plenty of sleep," she said. "And aren't you being a trifle persistent, Mr. Leeson? I'm not used to cross-examination, or insinuations that I'm unable to take care of myself. What makes you think that Stevens or anyone, could take me anywhere against my will?" He blushed nervously. "I don't mean to be . . impertinent. But . . Well, I don't care whether settles a certain mite settle. It's for a cash. That he come, caddisfly, not to have anythings." "Did you think ue?" she asked id. Oh, I didn't me he cried. "I . . . Most unethical common decency. To my present. "You didn't know Maddox and Roe, firm. Another reason longer than I'd in the new firm, Ma Wilson, Crewe and ed me this morning." "Oh," she said. She hid a sigh o con ended. Here for went to the room a lettte forgot one's h She played a while conscious of some her. She turned, tense gaze. "Hello!" she said. He knew the et Don't let me dis hastily. She shrugged, best lost, and rose from No need to co wheel when one's through. Have you "I can't afford to came to luncheon, on Stevens," and husky whisper, "is five." Why that hour Now Go On With the Story "We start from here, then; I took you away with me; I frightened you; I drove you to almost certain death. But . . we start from there. Is that it?" "From where else could we start?" she countered. "And you . . . you can't forgive me, Lucy Harkness?" "Can you make me? That seems to be the question," she answered. He rose from his chair, fatigue dropping from him like a bath-gown from a bather on the beach. That amazing virility which was himself, but which this morning had been absent, returned to him in a rush. "I don't like equal chances," he cried. "I want the odds against me. Two to one, ten to one, a hundred to one!" "It isn't that . . alone. But when Stevens came and faltered in Mrs. Clary's patio . . and you hadn't answered the telephone . .." "After parties I regain my girlish color by plenty of sleep," she said. "And aren't you being a trifle persistent, Mr. Leeson? I'm not used to cross-examination, or insinuations that I'm unable to take care of myself. What makes you think that Stevens or anyone, could take me anywhere againat my will?" He blushed nervously. "I don't mean to be . . impertinent. But . . Well, I don't care whether is good form, or being done, or anything like that. Stevens' bad, Miss Harkness. I mean . . a rotter. And when you go off, with him, and don't return . ." "The intimation is that I am also bad, a rotter, isn't it?" she returned. "Not at all." His blush was painful. "You know . . No, you don't know how could you? . . my opinion of They are," she reminded him. "And . . and what shall we tell ... People are curious." "I came home," she said calmly, "in my bathing-suit. If your crew and Modane—" "They'll say nothing," he promised. "And, naturally, we won't!" she laughed. "And you'll see me, speak to me, as though nothing had happened?" "I'll do what Fate directs," she promised. He shook his head. "You're no saint, Lucy Harkness. If you were I'd not love you." He ought to make life interesting, Tim., she chuckled. "Trying to outguess a woman is hard enough under ordinary circumstances, but under these you." "It might be interesting, though," she scoffed. "And I almost believe you're frank enough to give it." "You don't mean frank; you mean unsophisticated, Miss Harkness," he said. "Well, I suppose I am. I'm not used to . . well, the sort of people, the sort of things I meet down here." "Why not run back home, then where every one is nice and wholesome?" "Now you're not being you. You know I'm not critical, or condemning. I'm merely explaining. I . . I'm a lawyer, Miss Harkness. And I ought to tell about Stevens." "How ethical!" she murmured. "Stevens is a client of your firm, and I am not. Therefore, you will tell me about him." "Professional ethics can't be permitted to conflict with common decency," he declared. "And he isn't a client any longer. The firm have telephoned that tense gaze." "Hello!" she said. He knew the etiquette. "Don't let me dishastily." She shrugged, bet lost, and rose from the wheel when one's through. Have you? "I can't afford to come to luncheon, on Stevens," and husky whisper, "is five." "Why that hour he asked. She was that her every muscle. Leeson laughed." "After all, Stevens To demand a quarter him on the spot if demand it within a few different. Stevens amount of money for Either he used it should have it accuse it.

Perhaps perhaps suggested cluding the possibility but why annoy a departed with a satire money." "And you'll see me, speak to me, as though nothing had happened?" "I'll do what Fate directs," she promised. He shook his head. "You're no saint, Lucy Harkness. If you were, I'd love you. You're flesh and blood and wavy hair and long lashes and plink and tan skin, and human! You can't fool me. You're going to do something..." "Which ought to make life interesting, Tim," she chuckled. "Trying to outguess a woman is hard enough under ordinary circumstances, but under these... But perhaps your blood has cooled. In emotion we want things, promise things, do things that contemplation causes us to regret. An hour ago death was an adventure which you welcomed. Now airtation seems dangerous. Well, go your own way, Tim Stevens." "I'll go yours," he cried. "The way of Fate." She laughed. "We'll see." "You hate me. You'll get even, some way... He paused, too puzzled to continue. "Of course I hate you," she returned evenly. "I think you're low, bestial. But what has that to do with Fate?" "You're daring me," he asserted. "And you are afraid to take a dare," she accused. "But I've given you all the time I can this morning. I'm due at the Beach Club." He held out a tentative hand. She shook her head. Not yet a while, Tim. Perhaps never. You know, after all, you didn't trump my ace, or move as I putted. You did—tried to do—a thing that you must have known would have caused me to kill myself. But enough of that. We start again." After he left she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. "We start again," she murmured. "But where shall I lead him?" The curved lips straightened harshly, and the hands that rested upon the arms of the wicker chair suddenly gripped them. Then she relaxed. She was able to summon a perfectly natural smile to her lips as, in response to the noise of the iron knocker upon the gate, a Jap admitted Leeson to the palio. "Why not run back home, then where every one is nice and wholesome?" "Now you're not being you. You know I'm not critical, or condemning. I'm merely explaining. I... I'm a lawyer, Miss Harkness. And I ought to tell about Stevens." "How ethical!" she murmured. "Stevens is a client of your firm, and I am not. Therefore, you will tell me about him." "Professional ethics can't be permitted to conflict with common decency," he declared. "And he isn't a client any longer. The firm have telegraphed that, owing to many things he is no longer a client. They've asked me to remain down here a while; ordered me to... to get in touch with him, to get explanations of certain matters, to settle up affairs with him." "And you, out of common decency—was that it?—tell me, who have no interest in the affairs of Mr. Stevens or your firm, that the latter is too holy to deal with the former. Stick to professional ethics, Mr. Leeson; they will get you farther than common decency, it seems to me. Professional ethics are laid down for you; you don't have to guess at them. But common decency is open to interpretation, and a cad will interpret it according to his cadishness." "That is not merely unfair; it is dishonest," he said. His color, his embarrassment had vanished. He was not the nervous youth who had entered the patio, but a cool and collected attorney, willing and able to challenge her, to pick up where she left off. "Why isn't it?" she demanded. "Because when a woman is involved a man must not protect another man." "You think I need protection?" she asked coolly. "This man Stevens is a beast; any woman would need protection from him, and almost any man who wasn't forewarned. And I... isn't anything fair in love or war?" "Is there a war? she asked. "Perhaps there's love," he retorted. "We met last night," she reminded him. "And again now," he said. "And about Stevens?" "There's going to be a warrant issued for his arrest, to-day, unless he the sort of things I meet down here." "Why not run back home, then where every one is nice and wholesome?" "Now you're not being you. You know I'm not critical, or condemning. I'm merely explaining. I... I'm a lawyer, Miss Harkness. And I ought to tell about Stevens." "How ethical!" she murmured.

AY-CARE SOMERS ROCHE DONALD RILEY settles a certain matter. And he can't settle. It's for a quarter of a million cash. That he stole. That's why I come, caddishly, to you, to warn you not to have anything to do with him." "Did you think he'd borrow from me?" she asked lily. "Oh, I didn't mean to say all this!" he cried. "I... I wanted to see... you. And I'd worried, as Mrs. Clary had done; and then... you defend Stevens, and... Well, I've told you." "Most unethically, and not even common decency. Your ex-client—" "To my present client." He smiled. "You didn't know? Your lawyers, Maddox and Roe, have just joined our firm. Another reason why I am staying longer than I'd intended. The firm—the new firm, Maddox, Thammer, Roe, Wilson, Crewe and Lovejoy—telegraphed me this morning." "Oh," she said. She hid a sigh of relief when lunchon ended. Here formality ceased; one went to the room and at hazard of roulette forgot one's hostess, one's guests. She played a while at a wheel, then was conscious of some one standing over her. She turned, to meet Leeson's intense gaze. "Hello!" she said. He knew the etiquette of roulette. "Don't let me disturb you," he said hastily. She shrugged, bet her last few chips, lost, and rose from the table. "No need to concentrate on the wheel when one's luck is vile. I'm through. Have you been lucky?" "I can't afford to play," he said. "I came to luncheon, and am just looking on. Stevens," and his voice sank to a husky whisper. "is to be arrested at five." "Why that hour instead of another?" reinforcements for new business in the metropolitan area of Los Angeles alone, Mr. Ballard said. This area includes the industrial districts of Los Angeles where a substantial share of the company's allocated new business will originate. In addition to $2,000,000 for completion of the newest unit of the Long Beach steam generating plants, expenditures in the metropolitan area will include approximately $773,000 for completion of the La Fresa major sub-station, between Torrance and Redondo Beach, and about $550,000 for additional equipment at the Laguna Bell sub-station between Montebello and Compton. These stations are transmission points of the first importance and their completion will add materially to the flexibility of the Edison company transmission and distribution systems, Mr. Ballard said. The construction of the La Fresa station marks the first instance of locating a major transmission station off the general north and south line of the system of transmission stations and lines which form the "backbone" of the Edison company system throughout Southern and Central California. To meet the demands of greater use of electric energy approximately $7,000,-000 will be expended during 1930 for additional distribution lines and nearly $3,000,000 for extension of transmission lines. A number of new distribution stations also will be constructed to facilitate service from the additional distribution lines. In this connection, Mr. Ballard pointed out that some old-time pioneering for new territory capable of later more intensive development will be undertaken in compliance with the basic thought of President Hoover's national program. Explorations for new business have turned recently to residential business and industrial centers where new adaptions of electricity are creating new business of great proportions. Because the company's lines now reach virtually all sections of its territory and because of the extent of existing service facilities, the cost of connecting new business to the lines has been substantially reduced, he said. Construction of the new general offices of the Edison company at Fifth street and Grand avenue will be completed this year at a cost of $3,575,000. tion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of the Laurel School District of Orange County, in which precinct the polls shall be held in the Laurel School Building; Magnolia Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of Magnolia School District of Orange County, in which precinct the polls shall be held in the Magnolia School Building; located on Magnolia Avenue; Centralla Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of the Centralla School District of Orange County, in which precinct the polls shall be held in the Centralla School Building; Loara Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of Loara School District of Orange County, in which precinct the polls shall be held in the Loara School Building; Savanna Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of Savanna School District of Orange County, in which precinct the polls shall be held in the Savanna School Building; located on Ball Road; Katella Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of Katella School District of Orange County, in which precinct the polls shall be held in the Katella School Building; "Hello!" she said.

Stevens," and his voice sank to a husky whisper, "is to be arrested at five." "Why that hour instead of another?" she asked. She was hardly conscious that her every muscle was tense. Leason laughed. "After all, Stevens has been our client. To demand a quarter of a million from him on the spot is going too far. To demand it within a few hours is slightly different. Stevens was given that amount of money for a definite purpose. Either he used it for that purpose or should have it accessible. He didn't use it. Therefore he must have it. Unless he's stolen it, converted it to his own use. This, we happen to know, he has done. But the police here won't act on the moment. He asked, an hour or so ago, until five o'clock. Said he had the money, but was busy on other things. At five he'd pay. But he can't." She hastened from the room, secured her wrap from the maid, and went out into the blazing sunshine, so incredible in February. The doorman beckoned for a chair, and stepping into it, she ordered that she be taken to her bank. "What's my balance?" she asked the paying teller. He looked up and told her that she had something over forty thousand dollars on deposit. "How much can I borrow?" she asked. The teller summoned the president; there was a ten-minute conference from the vaults Lucy brought securities. The loan she asked was quickly arranged. "And there'll be no word of this leak out?" she asked. The bank officials assured her of their silence. "I'll take it in cash," she said. Well, those who came to Palm Beach did many strange things, and Lucy Harkness was called Devil-May-Care. She had deposited four hundred thousand dollars of the best securities for a loan of two hundred and fifty thousand. If she wanted the cash... Perhaps she was buying property from an owner who demanded money, not a check. Perhaps ... A thousand perhaps suggested themselves, including the possibility of blackmail, but why annoy a good client? She departed with a satchel crammed with money. CONTINUED NEXT WEEK So. Calif. Edison Co. Announces Budget Many know that the State Compensation Insurance Fund is a self-supporting enterprise and not subsidized by the State in any way. However, it is not generally known that the State Compensation Insurance Fund is in the unique position of being one of the largest taxpayers in the State. A check for $181,593.94 was paid to the State Treasurer on December 31st, 1920, in payment of the Fund's premium tax. The Fund, in 1928 competition with over fifty insurance companies, wrote over seven million dollars in premiums and pays the same premium tax as other insurance companies. The State Compensation Insurance Fund not only carries on without aid from the State, but as a large taxpayer contributes to the support of the State. Dr. Hugh S. Cummings, head of the U.S. Public Health Service, says that knee length skirts for women promote health, for the wearers. What we are wondering is whether they do not promote eye-strain among them thought of President Hoover's national program.

Construction of the new general offices of the Edison company at Fifth street and Grand avenue will be completed this year at a cost of $3,575,000 from the new budget. Mr. Ballard also announced. Work on the thirteenth story, class A structure is now under way. The building will occupy a site 175 by 175 feet at the northwest corner and will provide quarters for all Los Angeles departments of the company. At the present time, because of growth of the organization, a number of departments are using buildings other than the present general offices at Third Street and Broadway, which first were occupied by the company in 1918. Other construction in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, exclusive of additional sub-stations, transmission and distribution lines and other service facilities, will include store and garage buildings at Long Beach and Vernon to cost approximately $135,000. The company's telephone communication system, reaching into all of its thirty-one geographic districts, will be extended and improved at a cost of about $153,205. The benefits of developments planned for 1930 by the Edison company will be shared by 360 cities and towns in the company's territory of 55,000 square miles, Mr. Ballard said. Large appropriations have been made for extensions and new business reinforcements in each of the company's thirty-one districts and each district will benefit directly by local expenditures and employment.

Calif. Edison Co. Announces Budget Will Spend $23,601,000 in New Construction During Year Southern California Edison Company's budget of new construction expenditures for the year 1930 will total $23,-601,058. R. H. Ballard, president of the company, announced recently. The construction budget for the year is approximately $5,500,000 greater than expenditures for similar purposes in 1929. "The Edison company in 1930 will begin the second year of a definite five-year program of intensive development," Mr. Ballard said, "and its expenditures for construction of additional services facilities in the ten counties of Southern and Central California will provide principally for extensions and reinforcements to care for an increase of approximately fifteen per cent in the connected load of our consumers. A little over $18,000,000 of the total budget will be required for these new business expenditures in anticipation of connecting up 35,000 new consumers during the coming year with an aggregate connected load of 365,000 horsepower on the consumers' premises." The completion of a 133,000 horsepower steam-electric generating unit at the company's Long Beach steam plants will require an additional $2,000,000. The unit, the second of this large capacity for the Long Beach plants, will be placed in public service early in the new year. Funds also are made available for studies and design for another generator of similar capacity to be added following year to those already in operation at Long Beach. A total of approximately $10,190,000 has been allocated for extensions and payment of the funds' premium tax.
