"I can assure you of that, Mr..
Lang" Vance returned quietly. Then
he added significantly: "Mr. Wrede
is dead"
"Ahw the man murmured. "That
puts different aspect on matters"
ooh, quite. Mr.. Wrede was killed
by dog he had abused"
"Lao-Tza has said," returned Ii
ang, "that he who abuses the weak is
eventually destroyed by his own
.#eSEness.
Vance inclined his head in polite
agreement.
"Some day." he said, "I hope the
wisdom of the Tao Teh King will
penetrate to our western civilization.
-. But, handicapped as we are by
lack of knowledge of the profound
wisdom of the Orient, can only ask
you to help us in our present dilem-
ma. . Will you tell us what hap
pened-or, rather, what you saw
when you returned to this house be-
tween eight and nine Wednesday
night?''
LANG moved slightly in his chair
and let his eyes rest searchingly on
Vance. He hesitated before he spoke,
drawing deeply on the cigarette
Vanc had given him.

an even voice. when l entered the
kitchen l heard voices here in the
library. Mr.. Wrede and Mr.. Archer
Coe were talking. They were angry.
/ tried not to listen, but their voices
rose until they penetrated even to
my bedroom. Mr.. Coe was protesting
violently, and Mr.. Wrede was becom-
ing more angry every second. I heard
scuffle, startled ejaculation, and
a noise as if something heavy had
fallen to the floor. A brief silence
ensued-and 1 thought l detected a
tinkling sound like broken china

Negotiable PrOvisO

1t was further explained that the
proposed bill also would provide that
the certificates would become i'm
mediately negotiable, with discount
of approximately three per cent.
In short, the 100000 veterans
holding these certificates would be
entitled to receive approximately 96
per cent of the face value of the GER
tificates, in cases where no loans
have been made on same.
In cases where veterans have bor-
rowd up to the so per cent allowed by
subsequent legislation, such veterans
would be entitled to a proportionate
percentage Of the certificates face
value.
The proposal authorizes the neces-
sary appropriation from the Federal
treasury.

own heart and Conf1de in no one,
but when any man tried to make
love to her again she would laugh
in his face. And she would go out
with Steve or Tom Merit or any
one, that is, but Barney. A short
life but a merry one, she repeated
with tears rolling down her cheeks.
To prove it, she telephoned Pete
the following morning and spent the
day with her on former patients
yacht, cruising about the bay. There
were men, plenty Of them, and sew
eral were interested in the little air
stewardess with the startling black
lashed green eyes.
Irene was the gayest of all the
girls who had been invited to amuse
the masculine guests of the wealthy
owner of the boat. 1t was the kind
of party she would have scorned to
go on once. She had refused such
invitations when Pete, who made
the most of her rare vacations, had
urged her to come along.
Pete asked with surprise, Whats
the matter with you today? If I
didn't know what a little Puritan
you are, I'd say you were drunk"
Maybe I am. You can get drunk
on other things besides liquor. You
ought to know that"
Il know it only too WELL" the
hard-boiled nurse retorted. "Just
the same, if you don't watch your
step, I'm going to take you home"

: Love was terrific thing to hap
pen to a girl. No wonder she hac
fought it. But she could fight it nc
longer. Exhausted and beaten, she
lay IN Barney's arms and her de-
feat was sweet. His voice came tC
her out Of the moon flooded silence
with a shock.
I suppose I should feel flattered,
he said.
Her dazed eyes opened to the in
credible rlockery Of Barney's laugh
For a girl who is supposed to be
hard hearted, you are certainly
everything else but" the pilot re-
marked releasing her to light a Gig
aret.
Why, Barney" she faltered,
What do you mean?"
"Nothingl" he cried. Want a
cigaret? No? Well, at least Imade
you admit you like it.
Like what?" she demanded, at
tempting to collect her scattered
wits. I don't even know what you
are talking about"
Like to be kissed. That was the
original argument, wasn't it?"
His words were like deluge of
ice water. They brought her up
gasping, incredulous. shocked.
DO you mean to say that's what
you've been trying to do all this
time?"
Again Barney laughed
Why not? Your reputation would
be a challenge to any pilot ="
But you said
BE honest. my sweet It's been
nothing but a delightful game for
both of us"
"A game?"
How could he talk like that?
Without another word the girl drew
back and slapped his impudent face.
And Barney seized her in his arms
and kissed her again long and fer
vently.
If you ever do that again, I'll
turn you over my knee and spank
you, he threatened. Now put on
your hat I'm going to take you
home"
CONFIDENT that he was perfect
~ ~ capable of doing as he said,
she Obeyed him, but she was shak-
ing with rage and shame and fear
All the love which had swept her
off her feet the first time she saw
him was turned into furious, bitter
Silently she followed him to the
car Silently took her place beside
him and to his occasional banter
ing remarks she made no answer.
And Barney's manner did not
change until they reached her
house.

for a sap, didn't you? Well, listen,

L IKE most events which are
IL too eagerly anticipated. the pic
mic was a disappointment. Some
thing had been bothering Barney
ever since they started. and al

1t OF and be more natural. Irene
could see that he never quite sue

They sat in the sand and watched
a glorious sunset They ate their
lunch. and Irene talked more than
usual TO make up for the pilots IN

darkness gathered about them she
too. fell silent
The wind from the ocean was bit
ingly cold She felt lonely and as
II he were deliberately pushing her
away. It wasn't like Barney. It
wasn't like him at all Had she
discouraged him BY the things she
had said on previous occasions?
She sighed and involuntarily
moved a little closer to him, and in
stantly Barney's arm was around
her.

That was better. Guiding her
head against his shoulder. she muir

suggested without moving.

Sitting within the charmed cir
Gle of his arms her heart began TO
beat so violently she was afraid lest
he might feel it. Slowly and males
tically a full moon sailed into view
Lighted ships drifted phantomlike
across a gold-splaShed sea.
What a night" Barney said.
Don't you wish we we're in a plane
flying toward that moon?"
1T would be wonderful"
Barney drew her closer.
Remember the promise I made
you?"
moi"
DO you mean you don't want to
remember it?"
What was he talking about, she
wondered. too confused BY her own
emotions to think clearly.
I promised not to kiss you again
until you wanted me to"
How STUPID she had been to for
get it, That. then. was the rea-
son for his restraint. She had been
so sure Of her own change of heart
that she had not realized Barney
might not understand it.
Putting her arms about his neck
she drew his head down to hers.
Il want you TO kiss me now" she
whispered
Hungrily his lips met hers, and
Irene lost all sense of time in a kiss
which swept her into another world.
Barney's world of stars and moons
and 'nimbuS clouds" OF Joyous adj
venture and love so sharp that it
stabbed deep into her heart leaving
a wound only he could heal
Never again could it be said of
her that she was self-Sufficient
Her longing for Barney would fol-
low him like a ghost on every flight
until he returned to her. Only as
she could identify herself with him
would there be any peace.

stumbled from the car, refusing his
help.
Don't come with me. I can go by
myself"
ignoring her protest, he accom-
panied her to the door before he
said goodnight
Irene did not close her eyes until
dawn. How could she, a registered
nurse and a girl who prided herself
on her ability to read character,
have been so mistaken in person?
She had been certain that he was
falling in love with her. Positive
that he, like herself, had been over
whelmed by an attraction which
though on that first occasion he
had admitted he was doing a little
private investigation, she hadn't
dreamed it had continued to be his
motive His conduct tonight simply
didn't click with any Of her previ-
Gus experiences with him. He had
been different all evening. Only his
embrace had been the same.

all love might mean had dawned

it was just game.

herself the whole affair was in

she had lived long enough to know
that the impossible was what often
happens. She had been mistaken
in her judgment of him, that was
all. Had taken entirely too much for
granted, which was a weakness
common to her sex, although she
had always prided herself on being
above it.
