A scanty summer population, for the place was remote and thus far itinexploited, ventured forth In pleasure craft, skirting the rugged and Seventy nor'-east- er li.-i- d lat storm-twate- n coastline, enjoying the smell nd feel of the sea breezes. A furlong off a rocky point where the sluggish swell mounted more steeply over a sunken ledge known as Pollock rock, a young man In a fisherman's dory was shoving his boat slowly and to all appearance aimlessly about He ctood facing forward and thrust at the oars with easy strokes. Passing fishermen sighting him thus employed were mildly curious about the object of his efforts. "What's Tom Jordan doin' over yon-derr "Dunno. Tryin to sweep up an tanchor, maybe.

But it was not enough to eat-lsf- y the curiosity of a girl who since early morning had keep Tom under observation from the porch or window of a long, rambling house that was set on a knoll under tho oaks of a wooded Island about a furlong away. The young man once or twice had caught the hellographlc flash from the tore lenses of her glass ; he smiled to himself, a little sheepishly. ne smiled still more when presently lie saw her go down the winding steps, big slabs of stone, and walk out on the runway to the float, Getting into a rowboat she shoved off and pulled In his direction with a stroke that was of the longshoreman rather ' than of the athletic oarswomnn.

"But you said that you were after treasure. Td never have thought yon - , a fortune hunter, Tom." not it's "I am, though. Only your fortune I'm after.

Princess Is Named as Next Monaco Ruler Monarch Settles Claims Succession. Monte Carlo. to The various claims to right of succession to the throne of the principality of Monaco have been brusquely settled by the bachelor ruler, Prince Louis II, who has issued a his illegitimate decree reinstating daughter, Princess Charlotte, as his successor. , Monte Carlo and Monaco are virtually synonymous, for the entire principality comprises but a few thousand square acres. Theoretically autonomous. Monaco is In practice subservient to the rule of the French government The famous casinos are owned by a syndicate which pays the reigning prince a substantial salary to tend their in- terests. Prince Louis' decree was prompted by claims of Corate Aymard de Chabril-lion- , who insists he Is the rightful heir to what Is one of the few paying royal Jobs left in the world. His claims had been helped by Princess Charlotte's action in renouncing her rights of succession in favor of her son. Prince Ranler VII, when last February she divorced Prince Pierre de Pollgnac. The right of succession depends on Workers on Air Lines Show Increase of 500 Washington. Approximately 500 more persons were employed by the American operated airlines on July 1, 1933, than on the same date in 1932, according to the aeronautics branch of the Department of Commerce.

Louis formally adopted his daughter as his legitimate heir to qualify her. The Comte Chabrllllon, who always had disputed her rights, redoubled his efforts to obtain the succession for himself when Princess Charlotte renounced her rights In a statement In which ihe said: "After having given my family and my country two children who are the legitimate hope of the dynasty, I think I have done my duty sufficiently without being condemned for reasons of state to continue a marriage which Is contrary to my Inclinations." The comte stirred up so much trouble that her father persuaded her to resume her place as the principality's future ruler and thus insure the eventual succession of her son.
