He thought of the solitude of the bows where he had smoked his after-diuner cig- arette the night before, and he fld- geted in his place, She leanta over and natted him om the hand.

They made their way ont on to the deck, where the red and gold of the sunset still stained the clouds and the eelctric light shone palely round the dancing space, "If we sit out," he sald, "you ought to have a wrap."

"S80 that is the ambition of your life," she murmured, after a mom- en's pause, 'Have you no other?" He moved a little uneasily in his place, The restlessness waz back again, driving him toward action, His thoughts {in repose troubled him, His nerves seemed 'tingling with unfamiliar forces. "Let us dance again," he sug. gested, "or walk," She looked at him and he fancied that he read the light of under. standing in her eyes and the smile of her mocking lips, "Why should we? happy here."

"Why?" "Because," he explained. "I am perfectly certain that your grand- father's fortune will be discovered, snd that you will be a rich wo- man," She looked across at him, leaning forward, her hand resting upon her intertwined fingers, her elbows up- on the table. He was suddenly fur. fous with himself for the little thrill of pleasure he felt watching the delicate lines of her thoat and the faint curve of her bosom. "I wonder why you are so per- fectly certain about that money?" she speculated. "And why, too," she went on, "you always look like 8 gullty schoolboy when you rllude to it." "I must have a very Ingenous countenance," he rejoined.

At about four o'clock, as he had expected, the Marconigrams be- gan to arrive, He made his way back to his place. Grace all down her book and produced her code, pencil and paper, all of which were in readiness. "The news {gy still good, T hepe?" she asked politely. "Excellent," he assured her. "Some of these will need very long replies, though." "The longer the better," she told him, "I like very much to practice my shorthand," The work, interrupted now and then by the arrival of other mes- sages, was absorbing and conplicat- ed, It was 7 o'clock before the last coded reply had been dispatched, Grace leaned back in her talr with' a little sigh, halt of satisfaction, half of weariness, "I think," he suggested, "that we have earned a cocktail," She arose with alacrity, They! made thelr way to the little lounge and sat in bashet ohairs looking] down at the sea, Grace sipped her, Martini thoughtfully.

He explained the position to her. She listened attentively, "It sounds intetusting," she ac- knowledged, 'I suppose 'hat you are making a great deal of money." "We have made a great deal, and on paper we are making a great deal more.

Ask your MORE WARSHIPS High Naval Authorities De- clare They Must Keep Pace With U.S. Tokye, Sept, 25~With a program of eight 10000«ton cruisers, eacl capable of 33 knots and armed with ten 8-inch guns, more than half com- feted, high naval authorities of apan are publicly discussing the ssibility that the government will ave to lay down more fighting ships of this class: in order to keep pace with the United States and Great Britain, There has been no thought of or ab work on he eight new ships, four of which arc already afloat with the others due to take to the water within twelve months, The public and semi-public utterances of naval of- ficers, from Admiral Takarabe, min- ister of Marine, down, indicate too Japan's intention of insisting at the next naval conference on a ratio of 10-107 in the allotment of auxiliary warcraft tonnage to England, Ameri- ca and this country, Japan asked for that ratio for capital ships at the Washington conference but finally accepted 5.5.3, The higher ratio for auxiliary craft was informally ad- vanced at the three-power conference in Geneva in 1927. The talk gave rise to recent news- paper reports that a supplementary program, calling for four addition- al 10,000 tonners, 15 first class de- stroyers, submarines, gunboats and others, had been decided upan. The navy Mepartment later said that no announcement would be made at this time, lest it embarrass the MacDon- ald-Dawes conversations in London. It was remarked, however, that no outright denial of the reports was forthcoming. Naval i I and publicists are giving the Japanese press surveys designed to support the claim for the 10-10-7 ratio, asserting that the programs which America and Bri. tain have in hand will give each of these powers between 250,000 and 300,000 tons of modern cruisers of more than 7,000 tons, whereas Japan by the completion of her eight Nachi class ships will have a corresponding tonnage of only 108,400, that is, eight 10,000-ton ships and four of the Furutaka class of 7,100 tons each, Hence, it .is argued, that unless the '| two leading sea powers agree to re- duce drastically their cruiser fleets, Japan must build several more 10, 000-ton fighterse to keep within hail- ing distance, : apan, it is authoritatively indicat- ed, hopes for such actual reduction by Britain and America, thus making any increase in the present Japanese cruiser strength unnecessary. Of the eight new cruisers two, the Nachi, from which the class takes its name, and the Myoko are in com- missioner, Two others, the Haguro and Ashigara arc undergoing trials. The Tako and Atago are on the ways at the naval dockyards in Yoko. suka and Kure and are due for launching this year. The Chokai is in the hands of the Mitsubishi yards at Nagasaki and the Maya is being built at Kobe, Both should take the water in 1930. The Nachi and her three junior sisters are to form part of the Second Fleet, based on Kure, whither the Myoko has just steamed from Yoko- suka after being commissioned. On her way to the western naval base she stopped for two days in Ise Bay to permit her officers to worship at the Great Shrine of the Sun Goddess at Ise, the highest temple of the na- tional cult, Shinto, ach of the prin- cipal units of the navy is thus dedi: cated to the service of the nation, Each of the eight Nachi-class cruis- ers is named for a mountain of rich religious and historical association, and aboard each is installed a minia- ture Shinto shrine' enclosing some relic from the cipal temple of the mountain which gives the vessel its name, The Myoko, for example, is named for Mount Myoko in cen- tral Japan, whither thousands of pilgrims flock each summer.
