CHAPTER TWO
The battered old salvage boat
rolled slightly with the surf. From
the galley, BIacksheep's rich voice
lamented in a spiritual.
Jim Mallory kept his grip on
the girl's arm until he saw the
fury fade out of her eyes. She
rubbed her wrist then as if he had
hurt her. She didn't try leave
again, but sat and looked at hien
in a coldly bitter way.
She was pretty, yes. With her
copper -tinted hair and wide gold -
flecked eyes, she was pretty. And
perhaps more than pretty. Jim
Mallory looked away from her,
thinking he'd better watch his
step. Some friend had once told
flim, "There's Irish blood in you,
Jim, and the Irish are sentimen-
tal. You'll be a pushover for a
pretty face, whether it's the right
or wrong One."
He heard this girl, this Mary
Larsen, say, "All .1 wanted to
know was where I could find your
employer, James Mallory, the
owner of the Ajax Salvage Com_
parry "
"He has an office."
"He's never there. I was there
twice, and I could get no satisfac-
tion out of the office boy. But
at least he didn't manhandle me."
"James Mallory won't go for a
pretty face any more than I will.
Now tell me who sent you here
to question me."
He put his pipe between his
teeth again, and this time felt In

before he recovered from his
prise. He heard the splash as
took to the water, and reae
deck he saw her striking out
shore.
She swain well, but not
well, and he knew before she
half way to shore that she wa
going to make it. He kicked
his shoes when he saw the f
falter in her stroke, then rip
off his shirt and dove in when
saw her go under.

somehow, that she wasn't lik
that.
He got her onto the sand, u
where it was dry. She lay wit
eyes closed, shivering, or tre
bling. There was a car parke
up by the road, which he guesse
was hers. He went to it and foun
a beach robe. He took the rob
back and covered her. Her eye
were open now, wide and withon
fear.
"I suppose 1 ought to thank
you," she said.
"You ought to know better than
to swim after a heavy meal," he
said. What he liked about her
was her lack of hysterics. And
he was sore because he liked any-
thing about her, since she had
been put onto him.
"Shall 1 drive
you to where
you're going? Or can you make
it?„
"I can make it, after I rest a
moment. I haven't far to drive,
just to the Hammond estate on
Indian Creek."
Jim Mallory nodded. He'd wait
with her, but only because she
iniglit be more clone in than she
looked. Then the name she had
spoken clicked.
He said, "Jeffery Hammond's
lace?" And when she replied in
he affirmative, the first part of
the puzzle fell into place. Jeffery
ammozzd was president of the
ammond Steamship Lines, and
the Sonora was a Hammond ship.
Jim Mallory felt a secret ex-
citement. The Sonora, a freighter,
had gone down six months ago in
the Caribbean. He had found the
Iocation by accident, and had
written Hammond about a sal-
vage deal. Hammond had been
uninterested,
There were a Iot of queer 'angles
to the sinking. Queerest of all
was the interest shown by this
girl, this Mary Larsen who came
from Hammond's house. You

Hammond, and it didn't seem

this girl to learn the location. As
owner of the ship, Hammond
wouldn't seek the information in
such .an underhanded way,
Jim Mallory said, looking down
at the girl, "So you come from
Hammond's place, But he didn't
send you?"
"No...." She lay there, watch-
ing him with half-closed eyes.
Her lashes were incredibly, long,
"I came on my own, I'll be hon-
est with you. I wanted to find
James Mallory, and ask him about
a certain ship that was lost at
sea."
Why?„
She didn't answer that.
"Did Hammond know you were
trying to find Mallory?"
"No."
"And you wouldn't want Ham-
mond to know what you were up
to?"
Her eyes opened wide, meeting
his with a disturbing steadiness.
"That's right," she said. "Did you
have some idea of telling him?"
He didn't answer. He gave her
a hand when she started to get
up and walked to the car with
her after she got into the beach
robe. She took a pair of sandals
from the car and put them on her
feet. She still looked a little
shaky. She got into the car and
started the motor. It was a big
yellow roadster with the top laid
back. It looked like a lot of
money to Jim Mallory.

U.S. War Taxes
Will Be Severe
.A. $9,610,000,000 war tax pro„
gram "to be felt in every Ameri-
can hone" was laid before the
United States Congress and the
country by Treasury Secretary
Henry Morgenthau,
"The new taxes will be severe,
and their impact will be felt in
every American home," he told
the House of Representatives
ways and means committee, "War
is never cheap, but . . . it is a
million times cheaper to win than
to lose." -
The additional taxes which he
proposed, would, by themselves, be
greater than ever collected by the
federal government in a single
year prior to 1941.
.As a down payment on victory,
he asked doubling of most peo«
ple's individual income tax, with
rates so stiff that a single man
with a $2,000 salary would pay
$230 tax and if he made $1,000,-
000 would only be allowed $1000,-
000. Part of the tax probably
would be deducted from pay
cheques.
About 5,000,000 people in the
United States will pay income tax
this year for the first time.

There was a letter awaiting him
when he got to the office at Bar-
rows Landing. Harris, who ran
the office after a fashion, said it
had been delivered by a uni-
formed chauffeur in a town car.
That was unusual enough for
Harris to note and comment on.
The letter gave him a jolt.
It was an invitation from Jef-
fery Hammond to spend the
week -end at the Indian Creek
mansion. To talk business.

MAPLE SYRUP TRIFLES
Bright sunny days, moderately
cold at night, then gradually mild-
er—all this is synonymous with
maple syrup days. After a long and
monotonous winter nothing is quite
50 refreshing as ma.ple syrup and
the many appetizing dishes it
suggests.
Homemade bread and butter or
rolls, accompanied by maple syrup
is not bad fare and is an excellent
way to introduce this favorite
Canadian spring delicacy. Prob-
ably the nest thing which comes
to our minds is pancakes and
waffles.
As a request for waffles has
