But the mere sound of james
voice, at times petulant, at tunes
gay, brought Ann back to MN.
"Darhngp' he always said to ner
now, in his sly way. 1t was a
phrase that diSarmed her.
On the 10th day of her VacaIioh
Ann suggested to Bill that they
climb the highest peak, Mt. RaI
cine. 1t was an all-day trip, ana
was considered a dangerous clllnO;
One had to use crampons ana
ropes on the upper reaches OF the
mountain. 49,,
Bill was excited about this ad-
venturous undertaking. He posi-
lively beamed.
They were all morning reach
ing the foot of the rocky portlon
of the climb. They lunched from
their rucksacks at the last lean,to'
and after a short rest resumed the
arduous work among the precl-
piece. Above them lay the spiny
peak, topped by an omlnOuS plach
cloud-the ridge which led TO IL

realized the danger the storm held
out to them on the jagged rocks
below. They were half way down
the rocky climb when the storm
broke. In a few seconds Ann was
drenched, ana the water was
pouring in rivulets from rock to
rock.
Bill strove manfully to keep
them from slipping; he Draced
himself when Ann was descend
ing the rocky lodges. There was
but one thought in their minds

way down the mountain. There
was no longer any thought OF
reaching the valley before dark.
Bills face was set, his jaw grim
and determined. He would not
let Ann take chances, though at
times his moves on the slippery
rocks seemed hazardous to her.
He was not only getting himself
down the mountain; he was pro-
tecting her from the elements and
most of her weight on
the rope besides.
In that moment of danger, she
came to see Bill Ware for what
he really was. She had no doubt
that he was in love with her. He
had told her so, time and time
again. He had always been con-
fident of providing his love for
her. He hadn't admitted of de
feat.
Now he was proving his love for
her. Perhaps it was merely the
instinct of a man who wants to
protect the thing that is dear or
necessary to him, but to Ann at
this time Bill was like one of
those knights in shining armor.

BEGIN HERE TODAY


Ann Hamilton, pretty younl
secretary in a large business of
flee, goes to a travel agency te
make plans for her two-week vaca'
ton
Bill Ware, travel bureau en-
ploye, persuades her to go to Lake
Racine. Bill is obvior sly attracted
by Ann, but she give. him little
thought.
Ann goes to the mountain re-
sort and at first is lonely. Then
she meets Ralph Spring, head
boatman, who tells her he is not
interested in girls. Ralph intro
duces her to Jaime Laird, wealthy
playboy. Jaime is handsome and
attentive. Ann tries to persuade
him to do something useful with
his life but he laughs at this. She
also meets Lefty Ponds, married
but flirtatious.
Bill Ware arrives at Lake Ra-
cine and is annoyed to find Ann
with so many other admirers
Ann spends a day sailing with
Jaime and he asks her to make
a weekend trip to Canada. She
says NO"
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER X
Bill Ware took mountain climb
ing seriously. While Ann and
Jaime were sailing on the lake ne
had climbed a little mountain, be-
ing careful not to render unusued
muscles sore. He went at it with
vim. Then, with Ann, he tackled
a stiff climb in the Cascade
Range. After a week of this
gradual process the pair of them
felt like seasoned mountaineers.
Their interest in other activities
waned. Each climb was an adj
venture.
Late in the afternoons they
would go down to the boathouse
and take a swim with Ralph
Springs, the boatman.
Ann was teaching Ralph to
dance, and he, in turn, was show
ing her the American crawl. Their
skill increased day by day, though
Ralph wasn't recOnciled to JAIME $
monopoly of AIMS evenings. He
took her to task one day.
81 believe you're like all the
rest Ralph said. "All you think
about is a good time. The girl
/ marry will have to be made Oh
sterner stuff than most of the
girls | see around here. Silly lit
tie empty heads don't mean any
thing to me- =,
Ann smiled. After all, it was
through Ralph that she had met
Jaime. She couldn't be angry with
him.
And Ann knew that Ralph was
perfectly happy with his dreams
of building bridges in South
America. Like the majority OF
men preparing for a career
Ralph wasn't ready to take any
girl seriously. Ann thought IDLY,
wisely. 'In vacation time beware
of college boys, working their
wav to careers. In spite of their
romantic proclivities, they can't
consider marriage for eight or III
years" ,,
She was flattered that Bill had
changed his vacation plans Just to
be near her, but she couldn't see
him in a romantic light.
e
But Bill had found himself now.
He had seen his Kid brother thru
high school, and his responsloll-
ties had waned. He had a goo
that he liked, and had earned a
raise. Now he was willing to fall
in love! He was looking around
for the girl, and Ann was the
girl. g..
She saw less of Jaime now, for
he complained of his daily losses
on the races. He stayed IN the
furtive little betting room all day
long. trying to recuperate. he
had seemed to change in his defer
ential attitude toward her since
the day she had turned down the

FIFTEEN hundred years ago, the
l Byzantine Emperor, Theodosius
II, built series of walls before
-onstantinople, now Istanbul, that
xithstood severe attacks upon the
lily throughout the centuries. For
4 distance of four miles, from the
Golden Horn to the Sea OF Mar
nora, three lines Of heavy ma
;onry were built.
The first wall was a mere
oreastwork. The second wall rose
IS feet, and the third wall lowered
over the second by IS feet. The
.hree lines of defense were ina
oregnable to attack by medieval
means.
But, in the 18th century, came
gunpowder-and the Turks. When
Mohammed II attacked Constan-
inople, his guns ripped breaches
in the thick walls faster than the
Greeks could repair them. Still,
the Turks could have been held
back, but, by an unusual strategy,

CAREFUL NIGHT
 DRIVING ASKED

Taking cognizalce of the fact that six of the seven automobile fatal ities which occurred over the past weekend happened during the dark hours, the state department of mo- tor vehicles today pointed out "the necessity of drivers operating eau tiously at night and at controllable speeds"
 "The fact that five pedestrians were killed out of a total of eight stresses the necessity for foot traf- fic to be vigilant aG all times" the weekly bulletin adds. Again and again the motor vehicle department has urged foot traffic to use the left hand side of the road, to walk against the approaching line of ve- hicular traffic. In that position, pedestrians can safeguard them selves against careless motorists, while the careful driver is given some warning that foot traffic is ahead"
 One of the fatalities, in which a 47-year-old woman pedestrian was killed on the Waterbury, Woodbury highway, is marked against this city. Others occurred in Stafford Springs, Rockville, Southbury, New Haven. Wallingford and Salem.
 Pedestrians promise to be the same vexatious problem for traffic authorities this year as was the case during 1885," the bulletin states. "The state department of motor ve- hicles' daily trafiic accident repoi | as of March 30. shows a traffic acci- dent fatality of 77 as compared with B for the same period last year"

New York, April 3-CUP)--Stocks and bonds turned irregular today, while commodities were firm and the dollar gained. Business news con- tinued favorable.
 Stock market volume was down sharply.
 Demand for motor shares was a feature for time. Chrysler rose to 101, up 1 1-4 and General Motors to new high since 1929 at 70, up 1-4 point. Both eased. Predictions were made that April auto output would be around 500,000 units, against the March estimate of 50,00O.
 Steels continued to rise early. Bet ter automobile production, helped steel issues. Bethlehem hit a new high since 1891 while U. s. Steel was within 8 fraction of its top.
 Rails proflted for time by fa- vorable weekly car loadings report, but registered fractional losses later.
 Dun & Bradstreet reported sharp gains in retail trade. However, mer- cantile issues had discounted this report and reacted on profit-taking. Mail order shares lost part of recent gains, and department store issues quieted on modest declines.
 Losses of point or more were noted in American Smelling, Mont gomery-W Ward, U. S. Industrial AL cohol, Western Union and Westing- house Electric. Smaller drops were recorded in Atchison, New York Central, General Foods, Internation- al Nickel, Public Service of New

attorney general, Kimberling would be required to obey. Wilenz re- iterated his belief that reprieve would be illegal, but cautioned Kim berling that he should observe one if granted. Hoffman gave no im- mediate indication as to whether he planned another reprieve, although he has said repeatedly that he was without legal authority further to delay Hauptmann's doom
 2. A stay of execution by the Hunterdon County court in which Hauptmann was tried. Justice Thomas w. Trenchard, who pre- sided over that court, already has denied stay of execution.
 3. Communication of sentence by the court of pardons. That court already has rejected two pleas for clemcncy by Hauptmann's lawyers.
 Reprieve Illegal
 The attorney general added that he had already informed the gover- nor that he was without authority to grant reprieve.
 However" he told Head Keeper Mark O. Kimberling, "if an order of ] reprieve is served upon you by the chief executive it is not your duty to question it's validity but to obey it." Wilentz also listed the two other alternatives to execution both of which have already been closed against Hauptmann-a stay of ex- ecution by the courts or a commit tation of sentence by the board of pardons.
 q can readily understand the reason for your confusion" Wilentz wrote. Since the early part of De- cember 1885, through daily state- ments to the press or from impor- tant sources, reflections have been cast upon not only the validity of the conviction but upon all the of- ficials.
 Text of Statement
 The complete text of the letter follows:
 T have your letter of this date, requesting to be advised whether, in view of the present status of the Wendell case, as set forth by Prose- cutor Marshall, the sentence of the court should be executed at the hour set by you, and further whether there are, in my opinion, any req sons why the execution of the sen tence of Bruno Richard Hauptmann should not be carried into effect at the scheduled time-8 D. m., Fri day, April 3, 1886.
 You enclosed copy of a letter from Prosecutor Marshall to you dated this day in reply to your re- quest for information as to the status of the Wendell investigation by the grand jury, in which the prosecutor states that just before the adjournment of the grand jury early this morning it was voted to discontinue the investigation con- corning the alleged Wendell confess sion and the grand jury then ad- journed to meet again Tuesday, April ', 1886 at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Up to this time I have not received or seen any complaint charging Wendell with the crime of murder

SOVIET RUSSIA MUST KEEP OUT
Japan VIII Insist Clashes Can Be Settled Without
 Soviet Help

Tokyo, April 3--(UP)-Japan and Manchpkuo will continue to insist that classes on the Mongolia-Man- chukuo frontier must be settled di- rectly between the two countries, without Russia's interference, 1t was indicated today. The Manchu protest to outer Mongolia against the most recent clash, holding Mongolia solely responsible, was taken to mean that Russias re- minders of it's mutual securaAy a. greement with Mongolia would be unheeded.
 Japanese resentment against Rus sia increased because of charges that Japanese -Manchu soldiers were responsible for clashes. Russia was charged with deliberate distortion of facts. Assumption of the foreign ministry by the veteran diplomat Hachiro Arita was taken to mean that Japan's policy as regards Rus sia will be unyielding. Arita is fully approved by army leaders, and is expected to pursue the strong" diplomatic policy which the army wants on the Asian continent.
 Moscow, April 3-(UP)-Japanese charges that Mongolian troops and airplanes used poison gas bombs in clash on the outer Mongolia Manchukuo frontier were denied angrily at Ulan Bator, Mongolian capital, as "a vicious slander," an official dispatch from Ulan Bator said today.
