When the British ambassador dis
cussed Far Eastern affairs with the
State department recently his visit
gave evidence that the administra-
ton policy in regards to China and
Japan Is getting results. For sever
al years, under Secretary Stfmson,
the United States recorded Its Objec-
tons to the Japanese program while
the British, and other nations, stood
aside to let us bear the brunt of the
battle. Even last spring the idea In
London was that Japanese expan-
sion was a problem for us to solve
although British interests in China
are vastly greater than those of the
United States. Threatened by the
possibility of ~JapaneseC Chinese ap-

the fellows. He had felt their laughs
beating against his back. the amuse-
ment in their eyes following him down
the alley. But 1t had been the kind
of laughter he could take.
He and the girl had found a Chi
nese restaurant, q table in q shadowy
rocco cubicle. She had ordered
whisky. When he had hesitated over
his wine card, the girl laughed, hold
ing to his eyes with hers, taunting
him. She knew he was young and his
face had burned for his 40 years and
inexperience; but he had not let his
gaze drop from hers.

Laughter still IN her eyes. Amusement
dancing in the corners of her soft
mouth.
I'D kill any one for laughing at
me-" he had said, furiously. Meant
1t, too!
Her eyes and lips calmed.
Sorry, Blondie," she had said. Got
you wrong, guess" She had reached
across the table and had touched her
hand to his cheek. Her fingers had
been light and cool, but they had
burned him like fire fire that
famed down his throat and across his
shoulders, soaring his senses. Once
he had wondered what the first touch
Of girls hand would do to him. Now
he knew.
Terry writhed on the bed. Sweat
broke out in beads on his temples. He
tried to remember how often he had
stood at the stage door after that
night. Twenty nights? thirty?
Could it really have been a month Of
nights?
Terry rolled over on his stomach,
buried his head in his arms and some
thing like a sob caught In his throat.
He couldn't do it. He wasn't a cow
ard, but he couldn't kill. What did
it matter if the man had come into
Sonia Karsoff's dressing room, if he
had thrown back his round. swarthy
face and had laughed. "Robbing the

Quick tears magnified the boys eyes.
He turned away from her, shame
faced, and leaned against the foot of
the iron bed, as if for support. He was
exhausted now. His body ached. His
eyes felt as If hot fingers were trying
to probe them from their sockets.
Don't be so damned dramatic!" His
voice was thick. But after a moment
he put his palm on the shabby old
Bible.

fellow would be a low hound to do
anything to hurt you" The tears fell
from the corners Of his eyes now and
he lowered his blond head to hide
them.
And while he spoke something In
Betsy snapped into horrible aware
ness. It was like being unconscious
and awaking to torturing pain. Terry
had wanted to kill some one. She
hadn't been sure when she had tiptoed
through the hall with the old family
Bible in her hands. But now she
knew! Terry had hated some one
enough to want to kill him!
The soft stiffness of the house was
ruffled the next morning by burst
Of telephone bells and the lugubrious
boom of the parlor clock striking 8.
Betsy flung a plaid woolen bathrobe
around her shoulders and hurried
through the cold halls to the rafting
instrument. Sleepily she adjusted the
receiver to her ear.

He went back into his room and
clicked the lock behind him. He
waited for a moment, until he heard
Betsy's door close softly; then he
turned out his light and threw himself
across the bed.
For a long while he lay there, looking
uu at the fantastic shadows that the
recurrent flashes of lightning etched
ON the wall.
He thought of the girl who had
come out of the stage door of the
burlesque house; the girl who had
sung the slightly indecorus but very
witty song in the first act. The fellows
from school had made a scramble for
her. This was lark! this was
different, off the beaten path!
this was something that would make
mothers and fathers cut of allow
ances! But the girl hadn't seen the
others. Her eyes, as black as musca-
tel grapes, had looked up at him. She
had said, gayly:
Hi! there, Blondie!"
She was full-breasted but slender;

ratified from his head. That laughter
was in this room now-riding in on the
lightning, ringing and gonging from
the walls. Sonia's terrorized voice was
here, too, crying out, Let the kid
alone, Tigel Let the kid alone!"
Terry's hands clenched against his
pajamas. The beads of sweat rolled
from his temples and into his open
mouth. The veins in his neck swelled
TO livid welts. He'd kill any one for
laughing at him and making a fool of
him before Sonia. He could kill that
man =" he could kill that man .
"Terry!"
He didn't hear. Laughter was beat
ing against him. Stark madness was
clawing at his brain.
"Terry!' '
Betsy's voice at the door. A soft,
pleading voice.
Terry! Open the doorI Please!
Pleased"
Terry leaned up on his elbow, dazed.
The pain in his head fell to one side
and pressed like q burning, fiery ball
against his eye socket. He got up
slowly.
IT thought 80" "I''' told you
to go to bed"
He stood there for a moment in
the dark, helplessly irresolute. Sweat
was Shiny in his hair and on his
cheeks. He brushed his arm across
his forehead, and the moisture soaked
into his pajama sleeve in dark, ugly
blotch.
Betsy didn't come into the room
when he finally snapped on the light
and opeend the door. She just stood
there in her pink pajamas, her impu
dent bow-trimmed mules peeping out
from beneath the ridiculously wide
pants. She was swaying little. like a
small frond with sudden voluptuous
life. She had fathers Bible in her
arms the old Bible, dog cared

'Betsyl How could you? And as

Then he hung up.
Mrs. Seymour was at the foot Of the

telephone. Her eyes were as blue as
the squares Of her gingham apron.
