AUTHOR OF 'IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT' WNU SERVICE CHAPTER I Rain dribbled from the figure of the young man on the dock and plashed into a lake the color of cold lead. With a patient gesture he raised his line to ex-"- y sjnine the undisturbed worm. He lowered It in another spot with an resignation expression denoting rather than expectancy. Something hooted at him from the dim expanse of water. He did not need to see the loon in order to Identify Its offensive personality. But he did make out, through the misty pall, the outline of a fellow-Idithe characterization was instinctive motionless in a boat, off the mouth of the inlet. Well, maybe the fishing was better over there. It couldn't be worse. He sloshed wetly Into a skiff and covered the half mile in jerky strokes. The other idiot was seated amidships with his spine humped and his chin In his hands. Neither slicker, rubber coat nor headgear protected him from the quiet persistence of the downpour. He seemed engrossed in his own thoughts. From his appearance they could not have been pleasant ones. The newcomer gave the conventional freshwater greetwell-rubber- ot swered Holmes with a sour grin. "Too busy trying to make an un successful living." Illogically Kelsey felt as If he had known this man, whose name he had learned only five minutes earlier, quite long and well. He said hesitantly and more seriously: "You'll probably think I'm a butt-i- n if I pry into your affairs any further, but is it only money?" "Only? I I !" "Just as a sporting experiment, how about my lending you some? And how much?" "I don't borrow." It was said with finality. "Besides, why should you?" "Why, I hardly know. Except that today's the first time since my Boss' nose. There!' says he. "What do you think of that? Is there any of your bright young men could do as well?" The Chief looks it over. 'Very pretty,' he says." 'But I notice one omission.' 'Omission? What is it?' 'You haven't put in any stairs,' says the Boss. 'Eh?' says Old Stuff shirt 'Oh! So I haven't Well, anyone can put in stairs. Have one of your young smart boys attend to it' "So the Boss sends for me. 'Here's a Job for you, Kelsey. Outfit Mr. Slimpfs house with stairs. These are Mr. Slimpfs own plans; did 'em all himself and is perfectly satisfied with them. Aren't you, Mr. Slimpf?' 'I won't have them altered in any respect says the old bird. 1 ing. "Any luck?" "Uh?" He started sharply, half rose, and slumped back. "Luck," - he repeated dully. "Who are you?" "Kelsey Hare." "Well, Kelsey Hare, can't you see that I'm fishing here?" The stranger's arrogance might have stirred Kelsey to resentment had it not been too much trouble to resent anything. He observed that there was neither rod, line, nor net the other boat, and put a perti-5t?question or was it impertinent? "What with?" The other quite plainly regarded it as impertinent. "That's my business," he stated. "Maybe you've come out here to commit suicide," surmised Kelsey Hare hopefully. "Much as I dislike to disappoint you, I'm not going to commit suicide." "Oh, well, then, neither will I." "Don't let me deter you," said the stranger politely, "if you were considering it" "I did consider it. Quite seriously for a while. Only, it calls for so much effort. What's your idea; would you rather be bored or drown yourself?" "I'd have to have time on that wtien did you think of doing it?" w "Quite a while ago. I've rather lost interest in the idea now. In fact I've rather lost interest In everything. Effect of flu- - Ever have flu?" "No." "It leaves you flat and stale on everything." "I've had a kind of hate on everything, myself," admitted the other. "You look it Has it occurred to you that this weather isn't improv ing any? I'm staying over at Sla ter's Inn. How about rowing back with me and exchanging sorrows over a drink?" At this point the sky really opened up and showed what it could do, Above the downpour the stranger shouted: "My place Is the nearest cover. Follow on." They rowed at speed to the opposite shore where an ancient stone mansion stood, solid and solemn, a stone's throw back from the lake. 'f "That's my Joint" He hauled boat up the strand. "Where the mortgage doesn't cover it, it leaks. Otherwise you're welcome." Shoulder to shoulder against the torrent they crossed a country road to a ruinous gate covered with hon- suckle in bloom half obscuring uns inscription: Kel-sey- HOLM ESHOLM PRIVATE PROPERTY Kindly Help to Keep It That Way MEANING YOUI Si ? rf "Outfit Mr. Slimpfs convalescence that I've taken the slightest interest in anything but my precious self. I owe you one for that But if you won't, you won't . . ." Kelsey strolled about the room,' threw a log into the roaring Dutch fireplace before which their coats hung, passed before a littered table supporting a typewriter with a n sheet still in it, and sat down. "I like this place," he decided. "I've got to put in a couple of months of quiet somewhere. Doc's orders. Why not here?" "Want to buy?" "No. Could you use a lodger?" "I believe you still suspect me of Rash Act" planning the returned Holmes with a sardonic grin. "You needn't concern yourself. Big Brother. The most desperate thing I've got in mind is to chuck my typewriter down the well, hitch my wagon to the alphabet and go on relief." He looked at his guest with eyes that had become suddenly haggard. "I've got to the point where I can't even work any more," he muttered. "What have you got to say to that, Big Brother?" "If you call me Big Brother again I'll crown you," returned Kelsey cheerfully. "You think you're up against it do you! Phooey to you! You don't even know what worry is." "All right" said the other between set teeth. "What's your sad story? And if it doesn't make me cry, I'm liable to take a sock at you." "Listen intently. I'm an architect with a big New York firm. They've got a client who's reeking with money; one of these crusty wise-guy- s that likes to do things be doesn't know how to do, to prove that he can if he wants to.

Says he! I haven't been up or down a flight of stairs since, and I never want to. Now. Got a ground-floo- r room you could rent me?" "Go and pack your things," said Martin Holmes. "I'll row 'em over." In the two weeks following, the young men put in a fair share of their time quarreling like old friends. The chief subject of argument was Holmes' stubborn refusal to accept a loan. It was Kelsey Hare's opinion, frequently and forcefully reiterated, that until the writer went away for a long rest, he would do no good. A hot and misty July morning found the author early at his machine. From the adjoining bathroom came sounds of vigorous splashing interspersed with lyrical outbursts. The machine quit with a Jingle, a click, and a bang. "Hey, blast you! Do you have to sing?" "Not necessarily." "Then don't" The clicking was resumed but almost immediately abandoned again. "I'd rather you'd sing than whistle," said the operator with rising an guish. "Temper," sighed the other. "Product of frazzled nerves.

Presidential Succession Act Does Not Provide for Hours U. S. Has No Chief There is no provision of law with specific application to the intervening hours between the expiration of the President's term and the time his successor takes the oath of office, notes a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Presidential Succession act has application only to the "removal, death, resignation or Inability of both the President and vice president." In a letter dated February 20, 1821, by Chief Justice John Marshall to an inquirer on the subject of who is President from midnight when the term expires to the hour when the President-elec- t takes the oath of office, said: "I have conversed with my brethren on the subject you suggested when I had the pleasure of seeing you, and will now take the liberty to communicate the result. "As the Constitution only provides that the President shall take the oath it prescribes 'before he enter on the execution of his office' and, as the law is silent on the subject, the time seems to be in some measure at the discretion of that high officer. There is an obvious propriety in taking the oath as soon as it can conveaiently be taken. "But some interval is inevitable. The time of the actual President will expire, and that of the Presiden- commence at 12 in the night of the third of March. It has been usual to take the oath at midday on the fourth. "Thus there has been uniformly and voluntarily an interval of 12 hours during which the executive power could not be exercised. This interval may be unavoidably prolonged. Circumstances may prevent the declaration of the person who is chosen until it shall be too late to communicate the intelligence of his election until after the fourth of March. This occurred at the first election. "Undoubtedly, on any pressing emergency the President might take the oath in the first hour of the fourth of March, but it has never been thought necessary so to do, and he has always named such hour as he deemed most convenient "If any circumstance should render it unfit to take the oath on the fourth of March, and the public business would sustain no injury by its being deferred till the fifth, no impropriety is perceived in deferring it till the fifth." March 4, of course, Is no longer Inauguration day since the adoption of the Twentieth amendment to the Constitution. t-elect THANK YOU JARED M. HOLMES. OWNER.

I was busted when I took over. Since then I've been jjolng rather less well." They entered the house which gave the effect of making a gallant last stand against decay and dissolution. In its bleak disarray, Kelsey Hare read much. "Wc.V it' attill here," was his nrraient "Sticking it out against dverslty. The house, I mean." "I know what you mean," returned the owner. "Now I'll ask you one. You say you're bored with life. Would you rather be bored or broke?" Kelsey considered the problem. "I should think being broke would at least keep you from being bored. Il would me." "Probably you've never been broke." "Probably you've never been fcorrd."
