Gift, presented last night at the
high school auditorium before a
large audience, proved to be quite
interesting. Each member Of the
cast turned in fine performance
and the acting did credit not only
to the actors but to Miss Louise
Granger, faculty member, who d.
rected the play.
The play itself was of the modern
type but appropriate to the season.
The cast included: Barbara Hol-
brook, Barbara Rodenbach, William
Burke, Wally Radesk, Janet Moody,
Eleanor Stull, Elton Rosenblatt.
The high school choir, making
Its first appearance in recently
bought robes, was quite hit. Many
alumni of the school who are now
at colleges or other scholastic in
3titutions attended the affair and
enjoyed an informal reunion with
their former classmates.

"Oh, / love you" Her voice was
husky. You know ! love you.

She gazed at him appealingly
through hah-closed lids. Crystal
drops appeared In the corners Of
her eyes. Her hand moved toward
her handbag, as II for handker-
chief. ~
"Y-you hurt me so. care every
thing for you, Rex
They told me In that Shanghai
cafe that you were in trouble. I
followed as quickly as could. Then
you treat me like this. Y-y-you
mean everything to me, Rex"
Then keep your hand away from
that automatic!"
Mundy snatched the handbag
from the blonde with one quick mo-
ton. The bag was partly open.
His fingers closed on the cold pearl
handle Of a gun. He let the bag fall
Lets get out Of here, JeanP
He caught Jean Strebor's hand
and ran.
The blonde stood there for q mo-
ment, bewildered by the suddenness
Of the action, unarmed, helpless.
She started to follow them. Then
they heard a shrek. 1t was fol-
lowed by thud, as If she had
fallen. Mundy glanced back invol-
unfairly, but she was somewhere in
the house. They could hear her last
vain words, pleading and then vim
dictive.
REX Rex, darling. Rexl"
The slope led to the road that
had been Widened and leveled, at
Marshal Fang's orders, sufficiently
to accommodate an automobile with
narrow Wheelbase. In the distance
along this same road, toward the
bandits headquarters, dust arose in
hazy yellowish clouds. 1t was COM
ing closer.
The gravity took them downward
in great frog-leaps. They reached
the car. The lowering North China
sun was sparkling as best 1t could
from the grimy windshield.
Clear Road Ahead
"The road ahead must be clear
by now, according to her." Jean
Strebor said rapidly. "Well go
down 1t until we meet my fathers
men. You'll like him, Rex" She
loked up, almost afraid, is II she
had forgotten something. This man
was strong. He could not be COM
manded, at least not by SO many
words. Were i. we're going to-
gether, aren't WEI"
He kissed her, but only for an in
slant. There was little time. Yet
in that instant, as her desirable
young body pressed close to his. he
understood much. They had loved
each other from the first, he knew.
Circumstances and their fierce
prides had kept them apart.
Something within her had yielded
now. He realized that something
in his makeup had weakened, too.
Yet he felt the stronger for 1t.
The motor sputtered. 1t roared
with deep rich purr. The auto
mobile shot ahead with a speed
that threw them back against the
cushions.
II don't know where we're going"
Rex Mundy said, 'but I'd like To
see any one stop us from going to-
gether."
She was smiling when next he
glanced at her. He thought 1t was
because she recognized the meri,
advancing down the road ahead, as
her fathers allies. But when she
spoke 1t was Of something else.

Town CHARTER
F0ESFAIL

FALLS CHURCH, Feb. 19.-=Fail-
ure Of the dissolution Of the Falls
Church town charter was assured
today when petitions which had
been circulated in the town had
not been introduced in the State
legislature, in Richmond. Monday
was the deadline for introduction
Of new legislation.
Petitions for the dissolution OF
the corporation and surrender OF
the charter had been signed by
nearly 200 town voters. Failure
of proponents Of the move to intro
duce the petitions in Richmond
was believed due to the fact that
the Falls Church schools are I'M
der a separate school board from
the other Fairfax county schools.
Town officials and other op-
ponentS Of the move to revert to
county government refused to COM
ment during the course Of the sign
ing of petitions. The impoSsibility
of the move was believed realized,
however, when it was learned that.
the county of Fairfax might not
take over the town debts, which
would prove an extra burden on
the county taxpayers.
