MONSIEUR COUSINS
WINS OVER JACK
MIRAGE TO ROME
SYNOPSIS
By Zoe Beckley

SYNOPSIS
Enjoying a honeymoon tn Italy anC
at the same time secretly investigating
the suspected intrigues OF
I COUSINS. his employers European
representative,
JACK DURYEA. together with his
BRIDE
EDNA, is seized by Fascist on the way
from Naples TO Rome.
Had Jack been alone he would
have been tempted to make rash re-
sistance to the demand of the Fascist
to leave the train and accompany
them.
But there was Edna to consider.
Jack knew the Fascist to be hot
headed youths who thought they
were better entitled TO defend Italy
than the italian government itself,
that they were spelling for a fight.
and that resistance would be utter
folly.
He and Edna scrambled their
things together and were escorted
off the train to a crude barracks
while the express went on TO Rome
without them.
Here an English-speaking italian
acted as Interpreter.
Word IS received" he said i'm
portantly, that two Americans
radicals. who wish to NEEDLE in 9TH
ers' affairs-are on the way to
Rome to organize a movement
against the Fascist. We must have
proof It is not So
Jack was too angry to laugh. He
demanded to know who had given
this information" They declined
TO tell and Jacks suspicious were
stronger than ever.
It took more than an hours talk
ing, translating, questioning and
showing of papers to settle the
doubts of the self-constituted guar
dlans OF Italy's welfare-excitable
youths often in clash with govern
ment troops-that Jack and Edna
did not constitute a menace to them.
The Duryea's were then freed with
out apology or amends.
The next train for Rome would
mean a night journey but Jack,
eager TO get there at the earliest
moment. induced Edna to make the
uncomfortable trip. and she was too
weary and unnerved to resist.
They came into Rome the next
morning. The world-famed Roman
wall; the dome of ST. Peters. largest
in the world; a glimpse of historic
ruins and Rome's Seven hills" filed
Edna's mind with excitement
But Jack was on tiptoe . learn
what Cousins had in store for him
at the oompany's Rome office.
"Jaok-oh. Jack, look at those
miles and miles Of erches-the mar
velous viaduct over the Roman
Campagna-a thousand years
"Umm-h," said Jack looking at
his watch and wondering what time
the office opened.
Edna said nothing more until they |
had been driven across the wide |
plaza Of the railroad station and up !

As he emerged from the edge OF

eyes spread Star Pond.
Even in his half-stupefed brain

He remembered the lake. His
