U. s. Stories Resented.
After being appointed to the United
States, the Switches were considerably
worried over the unpleasant storiei
published in America about the new
Italian Ambassador. Mrs. Suvich re,
sented especially a story describing
her husband as a man with "fshy
eyes" At a dinner in Rome, wher,
this matter was discussed. she turned
to her husband and said, Turn round
darling, and let me see how fishy youi
eyes are" And after a long look sht
gave the verdict: "Of course, they ar,
not fishy at all"

the Ethiopian campaign. Suvich's role
will be to strengthen the ties between
the two countries in a more practica,
manner.
Mussolini is greatly interested In
regaining the friendship Of the
American people. And he believes
that this can be done by more sub.
stantial trade relations between the
two countries. OF course, he has
an eye on the American dollar. He
wants American interests to partici.
pate in the development Of Ethiopia.
He also wants American cooperation
in the economic reconstruction Of
Italy. And the reason why he pre-
fers American capital to any other
financial ENHANCEMENT is because
there are no politics behind Ameri.
can economic cooperation. Money
in America, II Duce believes. is not
political weapon, but a mere
commodity intended to bring material
gains.
Mussolini Already Acts.
Ambassador Suvich is expected to
start conversations with the Stats
Department to conclude a reciprocal
trade agreement. Mussolini has all
ready slashed the duty on wheat and
other foods with the hope that in this
manner he will not only reduce the
cost Of living but will also facilitate
the intensi1cation of trade relations
between the two countries.

There are many issues. But the

The light was still golden when Muir
ray opened his eyes at last, but twilight
was at hand and it was turning cool
again. Though shaken and feverish,
his mind was much clearer and he
struggled to an upright posture.
Hardly had he accomplished this,
when a soft swishing came clearly on
the air and a shadow fell across the
grass. He raised his weary eyes to see
large black bird swoop low over the
lagoon and alight on the old stump
nearby.
Murray watched it duly. He saw
that the blue-black feathers of the bird
were all the more intense because it
had a snow-white tail. AS his gaze
wandered to the birds head, they
came to a sudden focus there. The bird
held something in its beak, something
which CLEANED and glinted in the last
rays of the sun. In an agony of sus-
pense, Joe Murray recognized that
object, and the bird which held it.
Surging hope, conflicting doubt and
tense wonder raced through Murray's
mind. Would the bird take wing in an
other moment? Would he drop that
thing he carried? Was this another Of
those tormenting visions? Murray
trembled from head to foot as he
stared.
Corvus stood upon the stump.
glancing here and there as he always
did. He did not see the tense figure
lying in the high grass; all was quiet
and still and at length, with an awk-
ward hop. the crow jumped to the
ground.
Murray raised his head carefully,
saw the bird walk to the base of the
stump, insert its bill within cavity
there and withdraw it empty! A kind
of sob broke from him as the crow rose
into the air and tapped over to an
adjacent live-oak. Then, with short,
painting breaths, the man crawled
slowly and laboriously through the
grass, dragging the huge trap with
iron determination. his eyes fixed upon
the stump.

up again in another moment and at
tack the jaws again, exactly as an
animal would have done.
His breath whistled between his dry
lips; his face worked convulsively; he
trembled like leaf; he fought mag
nihcently and . . he failed. Then with
groan he sank back and closed his
eyes. He knew that he could not drag
the trap for any distance; he knew
that there was not another soul on the
island. and that there might not be for
weeks to come. 1t had been a Job to
force his way through the jungle on
two good legs, but now . D.. it was folly
to think of movement at all.
AS the conclusion of all this smote
him, he lost his self-control once more;
he turned again to the trap and fought
it fercely with his hands The outcome
of this insane effort was that he fell
back in faint. Half an hour passed
before consciousness returned; then he
sat up again and made a detailed ex-
animation of his leg. The pain was
severe, but he found that the heavy
underCfothing, corduroy trousers and
boots had saved the bones; they were
not broken.
His eye fell on the oak pry he had
used to set the trap; but it was useless,
as he could get no leverage now. In
sudden flare of hope he thought of the
jack-screw. He searched feverishly
through every pocket and examined
the ground about him inch by inch.
The movements caused him torturing
pain and brought home more vividly
than ever the fact that he could not
move fifty yards from where he was.
Wild fancies began to fit through
Joe Murrays brain after a time, and
he began to talk to the surrounding
trees as though they were an audience.
At last, as outraged nature drew
blank about him, complete oblivion
came and he lay back, still and quiet.
Hours passed; the sun dropped
slowly through the western sky and
stood like great red ball behind the
oaks and palmettoes of the lagoon.

Lucia's nerves gave way and she
began to cry uncontrollably. Dulce
reached for her hand and patted it in
amazement.

do believe you're more in love with
that man than am"
For Lucia, there was strange
melancholy in Switzerland's beauty.
The village, smuggling neatly in the
contours of an Alp, was detached with
its busy affairs. There was an ex-
elusive cheerfulness about the cleanly,
little streets which snubbed the dis
tant grandeur of the mountains and
sky But the crisp perfection about her
only increased Lucia's detection.
Dulce purchased camera and made
tireless excursions in search of quaint
pictures. There's nothing like it,"
she told Lucia happily, "'for taking
ones mind off things"
One morning, over coffee, she ven
tured to wonder what Reilly was
doing.
Don't mention his namer snapped
Lucia.
well, really =" Dulce looked as
if she were tempted to make teasing
remark, then thought better of it.
A week later, Dulce went back to
Paris to arrange for her singing lessons.
Alone, Lucia was more conscious
of the heavy lump in her heart. She
took long walks, tried to turn her
mind to poetry. 1t would be nice to
get out slim volume of really good
verse - but it seemed that every
line she wrote sounded like symptom
plaintively described to a doctor.
Then, one heartlessly beautiful
morning. she received a wire from
Paris which put her in a cold rage.
1t read, YOU'RE URGENTLY NEEDED
SAME OLD TROUBLE DULCE."
Lucia stormed about her room, read
ing between the words. At first, she
thought she'd send Duice a con-
temptuous wire that she was through
playing guardian angel to nitwit.
If she had been fool enough to run
into Reilly, she could handle her own

At last he reached it, his hands
shaking. With a supreme effort he
ceased trembling, tore away the bark
at the mouth of the cavity and glared
into it. There, atop a litter Of broken
glass and china, surrounded by a weird
collection of odds and ends, was Cor
vus' latest treasure, the jack-screw
An inarticulate sound burst from
Murray's throat; mingled sob and
exclamation of delirious joy. He
snatched the tiny tool and whirled to
the clamping weight about his leg,
forcing his hands to be steady. He set
the screw upon the spring and turned
it strongly. Slowly, almost sullenly it
seemed, the huge jaws gaped apart and
sank downward,
The man staggered to his feet,
pitched forward at once and caught at
the stump for support. His right leg
was rigid with cramp and, slowly at
first, then more vigorously, he rubbed
and kneaded it until the circulation
began to prick him sharply. Steadily
he kept at it, his heart humping
madly, exclamations of thanksgiving
coming from his lips. Finally he pulled
himself upright again. put his foot to
the ground and took a hobbling step.
AS he limped about, movement in
the oak tree caused him to glance up
ward. There upon the topmost limb
stood Corvus, looking down at the
man curiously, wondering, no doubt, at
his strange actions. Murray straight
ened up and returned the crows gaze
with eyes that shone strangely. Then
he spoke:
81 wondered whether I'd be sorry
for lettin' you out of that mink-trap."
he said distinctly. well, I'll say now
that I'm NOT! Seems kinda funny for
a fella to owe so much to bird, an
a crow at that, an I'll be sunk if l
know how to pay you back"
He paused as thought struck him;
then he grinned widely. "Yes, by
George" he said, slapping his thigh.
81 can do that, anyway"
He turned and, limping to the bear
trap, lifted that sinister thing in his
arms and, unmindful of the cold water.
waded with it into the lagoon. When
he reached knee depth he stopped, and
with a strong, sure heave, swung it
outward. There was sullen plunge
and widening ring of ripples chased
outward as Murray returned to the
little beach. Lifting his eyes to that
silent form perched upon the oak and
silhouetted against the golden glow of
the sunset, he spoke once more:
80 ends my trappin'. think owe
you that, an sure know more about
traps than ever did before So long,"
He drew up smartly, and his right
hand came to his brow in a precise
salute. Then he turned about, picked
up his sack and limped off down the
shore of the still lagoon.
The End ". .-
