Premier Tardieu of France fol.
lowed with the most extensive
speech of the day. He offered
voluminous statistics designed to
show that France was entitled to
rank with the highest from the
standpoint of naval needs.
He served notice that France S
needs must be considered most
seriously and declared that she
must be represented by q navy
large enough to protect her far
flung colonial possession on all
seven seas.
He gave detailed figures depict
ing the length of Goa ,tline and
length of lines Of communication
between the colonies which
France had to protect in the

He asserted that the absolute

he described could only become

several days ago. In addition, two
dogs already have fallen prey to
the beast.
Reports frequently come into
the Eleventh precinct that the
animal has been sighted, but by
the time police reach the scene
the beast Is gone. Police saw
that undoubtedly some of the re
ports are the outgrowth of an
oVerWorked imagination.
Reports yesterday that the ami
NAL had been captured in Kenil

scene, only to find that it was a
false alarm.
Tracks around Engine House No.

showed plainly that some large
beast had been prowling around
in the night. The animal had q

nounced its tracks those of a

Fowler said that he had no
idea Of the raid on his piggery
until between 6 and 7 o'clock
when he left the house to 60
and feed the animals. When he
got to the pens, he said, none
of the pigs answered his call.
Finally. according to the
farmer, one small porker over

the pens to get his rations. The
others refused to move but mfllcd

1t was not until he walked
into the pen that he discovered
the havoc wrought by the beast
One pig lay dead, its fore legs
nearly severed from the body.
On its hindquarterS a number O1
claw marks were found. The en-
tire side of the pig had ocen
torn open.
Nine other pigs. three Of them
with their tails bitten off. were
laying on the floor Of the pens
and about dozen others were
milling around in terror. AS
Fowler described it:
The pens were a mess. The
pigs were so frightened that they
were trying to climb through
the roof"
Heard No COmmOtiOn
Fowler explained that he did
not hear the commotion in the
pens due to the fact that he had
a motor pump running in the
house and the noise would have
drowned out the racket outside.
Two police dogs on the place
had been penned up. but as soon
as they were loose made for
the pig pens. They picked up
no trail, however.

of the party he had thrown for
some of his newspaper friends. His
farewell party. To a man they
wished him well, fbut not one would
admit it.
They made dire prophecies; they
predicted he would be back in New
York before summer, with a pair of
smoked glasses and a tin cup. And
they had sort of poured him on to
the train Oh, well, it was a
good party.
His mind went back to Anne Win
ter. The slip of paper bearing her
message lay on the little stand be-
side his bed. Paul Collier had said,
in parting: Don't forget 20 call
Miss Winter. And II she has a girl
friend, I'm out of town."
Collier had said he was going to
Long Beach. Roriner picked up
the slip of paper and read it again.
He thought: "I don't have to call
her up-not tonight, anyway" Still,
he had committed himself to Ziggy
Young, and he had nothing to do
tonight.
He rang for some ginger ale and
finished dressing. 1t was warm.
Feb. IS and just like summer.
Probably showing in New York, he
thought. He hoped ziggy Young
was knee deep in slush, covering a
fire or something.
When the bellboy came Rorimer
filed a glass, drank it and picked
up the telephone. "Gladstone $685."
he said.
Waiting for the connection, he re-
minded himself that he never did
have any luck on blind dates. Just
big sap, he thought, and fervently
cursed ziggy Young again.
Hello" he said, ''is this Miss
Anne Winter?"
1t was.
"This is Dan Rorimer-ziggy
Young's friend. You got my tele-
gram, I see"
Miss Winter said she had and
that it was kind of him to take the
trouble. She added that it was nice
to hear from one of ziggy Young's
friends.
HER voice was pleasing. Rori-
Il 4 mer was altogether unprepared
to find it SO. Nice and low, and he
had expected a strident sound, full
OF freckles and long legs. It had
poise. 1t made him think that its
owner knew exactly what to do with
it.
For an awkward moment he
paused. Then he said, "Well, how
do you like Hollywood" And
thought Immediately that it sound
ed very silly.
I'm in love with what I've seen
of it, said Miss Winter. "You see.
I've had a rather bad cold and have
had to stay in. I'm not" she
fastened to add, blaming it on
your climate. I caught it on the
train coming out"
Rorimer laughed. I'm not a Cali
fornian," he said. I'm a stranger
here too"
oh, really? That encourages
me-"
Rorimer said he felt little cour-
age himself and glanced toward the
tray on the writing desk. "Are YOU

She was not.
That's fine" Rorimer said. IF
you haven't eaten, perhaps you'd
like to dine with me. If you're at
all like me, you're not crazy about
eating alone"
II think that would be lovely"
said Miss Winter. Il was just
about to go out to dinner when
you called"
"It's a date then" said Rorimer.
"And later maybe we can dance
unless you think your cold"
ooh, I'm entirely over it now. And
I'd like to, very much"
Rorimer said he would be over as
soon as she was ready. 1--WE needn't
dress unless you want to-"
Then Ill be ready when you ar
rive"
He hung up the receiver feeling
decidedly better. He even felt
friendly once more toward ziggy
Young. Standing before his dresser
mirror he gave final careful ad-
justment to his tie and with mill
tary brushes did a little unnecessary
work on his hair.
It was brown hair, rather wavy
and Of slightly coarse texture that,
once combed, required little atten-
ton. But Rorimer brushed it any
way-straight back above the ears
and glanced critically at the part.
A tanned reflection looked back
at him from the glass, strong
mouthed, firm of chin and blue Of
eye. A not unpleasing face, espe-
cially with regard to the eyes which
had little laughter wrinkles at the
sides and were intense in their blue
ness.
Rorimer's watch showed quarter
after seven. He slipped on his coat
and selected a fresh handkerchief
and stood tall and straight before
the glass while he put on the hat
that he wore only at night. His
days since coming to southern Cali
fornia were bareheaded ones.
A block away from the hotel was
the garage where he kept his car,
sturdy roadster of low price but
sporty lines. The evening, he re-
fected, climbing in behind the
wheel, might turn out rather well
after all.
A girl with a voice like Anne Win
ter's, he told himself, would have
to possess more than ordinary
charm or else the whole world was
wrong. He hummed a few bars
from the theme song Of new pic
ture as he drove.

ment building and found, after look

down the ground floor corridor in
answer to his ring and the "blind
date" came advancing to meet him.
She said Hello, Mr.. Rorimer,' in
nice comradely manner. "You see

His "How do you do. Miss Wiii-
ter?" sounded stiffiy formal to him
and entirely inadequate. Holding
the street door open for her to pass
through ahead of him, he murmured
something about hoping he hadn't
kept her waiting too long for dinner.
"Of course not" she assured him.
t"You got out here SO quickly you
must have flown"
Rorimer said, "Well, here's my air
plane-hop in"
Are you a good pilot?" she asked.
Perfectly trustworthy as long as
my mind is on my work" he assured
her. and was rewarded by the pleas
ant sound of her low-pitched laugh
which told him that none OF the
implications of his remark had es-
capped her.
Nov then" Rorimer said, climb
ing in beside her, where away? Any
choice in the matter OF eating
places?"
She told him she preferred to
leave the choice to him. II really

scientious invalid I have been. I've

whole week. But I mustn't bore

head. Anyway, I'm feeling gorgeous
now"
Rorimer resisted temptation to
tell her that she looked the same
way. Her eyes, dark and wide and
vivid, shone brightly in the gloom
of the car and her hair, he sus-
pected, must be coal black beneath
the fitting, helmet-shaped hat
He said, Have you been to the

"Just once-for lunch"

She nodded her head vigorously
rCheck!"
"We're taking off. Stand by for

around in the street in tight arc.
GONE minutes later, as they were
| - being shown to a table in the
restaurant, Roriner heard some one
call, Hello, Dam" and he turned
to see a young woman waving to
him from one of the tables along
the wall.
Rorimer said, Hello, Johnny" and
saluted, and when he helped Anne
Winter with her coat he informed
her: That's Johnny Riddle. He's
