SYNOPSIS

John Spencer and his cousin, Geof-
frey Bohun, are vacationing in Aus
tria. Godfrey is a gifted portrait
painter but prefers to paint land
scapes. Strolling in the forest, John
hears voices and decides to investl-
gate. From cover he finds four men
burying man in green livery Who'
evidently, had been murdered. Pna-
raoh is the leader of the gang; the
others are Dewdrop, Rush and Bugle:
Unfortunately, John makes h1mselr
known to the assassins by dropping
a letter with his name and ADDRESS.
He tells Godfrey and his chauffeur,
Barley, of his adventure. GeoHrey'
realizing that Johns life is IN dan-
ger, declares he must vanish. Spen-
Ger discovers that the livery OF the
murdered man corresponds to the Nv
cry Of the servants of Vortex castle'
and tells Countess Helena, mistress
of the castle, what he had seen.
With Godfrey and Barley, John
starts for Annabel, a nearby vlllage.
They encounter Pharaoh. In making
their getaway they exchange shots
with the gang, without serious re-
suit. They arrive at the Yorick estate,
where Lady Helena had requested
John and his cousin to meet her.
She reveals that her father had con-
verted his immense fortune into gold
and hidden it in a secret vault In
the castle. Knowing that his son,
Valentine, Helena's brother, was in
capable Of controlling the fortune,
he had revealed it to Helena alone
just before his death. The news
leaked out, and Pharaoh is after the
treasure. They planned that Godfrey
and Barley would go to Salzburg to
watch for Pharaoh, while John was
to remain at Plumage. Several nights
go by without important incident
John visits Yorick castle and finds
that Helena's brother, Count Valen-
tine, is there and with him, on most
friendly terms, is Pharaoh as Cap
tain flaming. Hearing that John is
stopping at Plumage, Pharaoh speaks
to his servant, Dewdrop. John sus.
poets a plot. AS dinner is announced
Helena and John escape, pursued By
Pharaoh's men, encountering many
difficulties, and finally arrive at {
forester's cottage. Freda, their host
ess gets petrol for their car ant
then goes to Salzburg to get word t.
Godfrey. John finds their car gone
He declares his love for Helena.

ing, for he yawned and stretched
and looked about him. Then he
took his seat on a bench by the
side of the door and servant
brought out a tankard and set it
down by his side.
One thing, at least, was now
clear-if I would have news of my
cousin, I should have to do more
than observe. If / could find the
good wife and hear what she had
to tell. The danger, of course, was
that should encounter some serv
ant. I could trust the farmers
wife, but if Pharaoh had given
them orders, l could not trust the
| servants to disObey.
It was eight o'clock and the light
was beginning to fail when / heard
the sigh of the Rolls on the road

A moment later the car swept
over the bridge, and Bugle laid
down his pipe and got to his feet.

and that Pharaoh sat by his side.
Pharaoh stayed but two minutes
For that time he spoke to Bugle
who listened with evident interest
to what he said. Then he nodded

his clutch. Bugle stood watching
till Pharaoh was out of sight, then
he turned on his heel and went
into the house.
And that was all. 5f.
AS I made my way back to the
foot-bridge, tried my best to be-
lieye that the visit which had just
witnessed was Pharaoh's evening
call. He had been out securing the
country for news Of my lady and
me and was now returning to Yor-
lex with empty hands. And yet !. !.
Pharaohs manner had been ur-
gent. He had not wasted a mo-
ment and the Rolls had not carried
much dust. He might have been
setting out, and not coming in
setting out on some sudden quest.
I decided one thing out of hand.
That was to learn, if could, what
Pharaoh had said.
If this was of any Importance,
Bugle was pretty sure to discuss it
with Rush, and if I could hear
them talking, as once before
I heard the sound of car. This
seemed to come from the farm. !

CHAPTER VI
Eavesdropping.

Eavesdropping.
TWENTY-FOUR hours had gone
i by-and something was serious
~ wrong.
We had passed the day in a hap
piness such as, / think, is given
to very few, but now the sun was
sinking, yet Godfrey had not ap-
peared.
That the forester's wife might
be late had never entered our
heads. We were up betimes the
next morning and were ready and
waiting for Freda at a quarter to
eight. We might have spared our
energy, for eight o'clock went by,
vet she did not come.
Bad news is trying enough: but
when the absence Of news is so
prolonged that only fool would
continue to hope against hope, it is,
I think, a stout heart that will feel
no alarm.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1936-02-27


Count. Me an you mere in the
rooms wot the Willies 'ad. Nothin'
to do but wait"
"Wait?" screeched Rush. '1'ye
waited long enough on this job.
You can talk as much as you like,
we amt no nearer now than when
we begun. Look at Dewdrop there,
calm him Sir an Gaping an
standin' behind his chair"
Its all in the game" said Bu-
Gle. eff"
Yes, / could play that game"
said Rush. "It'd suit me down to
the socks. But who ever plays it
but him?"
"You was took on as I was, an
just as glad of the job. I want
you, says Pharaoh-that's ALL"
"All?" yelped Rush. "Why-"
"All," barked Bugle. Before we
met him in Paris, he never spoke
of the job, an then he spoke to us
all" AS the other sought to pro-
| test, he let out a terrible oath.
| "Why try an put it across me, you
fool. Pharaoh don't ask; he takes.
That was his way-always, an I've
known him longer than you. An if
we play his game, he'll make us.
Sign on with i'm, an you've got to
take wot's comm - that's all I
meant"
Eyes. an wot is comin'?" said
Rush. "That's wot / wants to know.
I Judge a man by results. Three
weeks tomorrow we've been here,
an wot's your Napoleon done? I'll
tell YOU" Bugle groaned. I'm the
frs place he's been beat by a girl
an a groom. He knew they was
comm, an he knew they was car
ryin' gold; an they got away. An
wot else has he done-that counts?
He's let us all in for murder-that's
wot he's done. AS long as young
Arthur walks, there's a rope round
each of our necks.''
"He won't walk long," said
Bugle.
"Says you," cried Bush. "Why
we don't even know where he u.s."
"You make me SICK" said Bugle.
"You know just as we'll as me our
luck's been rank. Did you expec'
that we'd pick up quarter f a
million by takin' weekend trip"
"In course I didn't said Rush.
"Wot l says is this. Up to date
Pharaoh's failed. Dress it up 'ow
you like, he's lost every game"
At length Bugle got to his feet
and crossed to the car. / watched
him start the engine and switch
; on his lights. Bugle drove the car
slowly forward, as though to go
down to the bridge. Then he
brought her to rest and got out,
, leaving his engine running and both
: of his headlights on.

Pharaoh had put spoke in our
wheel.
At II o'clock that Thursday I led
the way into the kitchen, took my
seat at the table and opened the
map.
II must leave you, Nell" I said
quietly. ''There's no other way"
Helena nodded, and hand went
up to her head.
"What will you do, John?"

me and started to make some notes.
| An exclamation from Helena
snapped the sentence in two.
I looked up sharply.
There was horror in her beauti-
full eyes-and these were fast on
the paper on which was making
my notes.
"What is it, Nell?' I cried, rising.
She clapped her hands to
her face.

At this l swore under my breath,
for if Bugle and Rush were about
to go off on some errand, my OBJ
iect must be defeated and most of
nv labor lost. I might be able to
speak with the farmers wife, but
that she would have news of my
cousin was none too sure.
I fastened on desperately.
From the verge OF, the meadows l
regarded the back of the house.
The light, I have said, was fail
ing. but dusk would not come in for
another half hour. Two minutes
later I was fiat against the trunk
Of a lime that was standing IL
feet from the window of what had
been my bedroom four days before.
Now to enter the house was easy,
for all the windows were open and
none of the shutters were shut.
One of the lower windows be-
| longed to the primitive bathroom
which Godfrey and had used, and
since this was sure to be empty at
this time of day, here was as safe
an entry as the faintest of hearts
could desire.

window and swung myself over the

which gave to the hall.

opened ~ the door of the sitting

Rush. "Can you understand that!

1t was half past eight now, an
the hall was dim.
I could hear no sound of talking

Then Bugle, pacing the apron
strolled into and out of my view.
Rush was moving-I heard tn

Z0NFNG BOARD
HEARING ON

Hearing on two proposed amend
mentS to the District zoning regu-
lations, by which a number Of
types Of businesses will be cur
tailed in the industrial and the
second commercial zones, was
opened today in the District Build
ing board room by the zoning
Commission.
The amendment dealing with
the second commercial area details
IS types of business which may be
permitted in this type Of zone
and, regarding the industrial area,
the other proposed amendment de-
tails 80 types Of business permit
ted in this type zone.
Under present regulations the
number Of businesses listed for
second commercial zones totaled
81 business types, while all other
business not allowed in the second
commercial area were permitted
in industrial zones.
Spokesman against the proposed
amendments objected to a clause
in both amendments by which the
Zoning Commission would be
given the power to approve per-
mits for the types Of business and
zoning sought. The spokesmen con-
tended that this power should
rest in the District Commissioners,
rather than the Zoning Commis-
sion, since the latter body is COM
posed of Federal as well as Dis
trict officials.
Those who spoke against the
amendments included James E.
Schwab, representing property
owners in the vicinity of Six
teenth Street Northeast and New
York Avenue; Harold e. Doyle, Of
the wa s hington Real Estate
Board, and Bates Warren, repre-
senting Barber & Ross.

of the United Mine Workers down,
have spurned offers to meet with
the A. F. of L. around the con-
ference table. ..-e g31
If Lewis, his United Mine
Workers and the nine other
unions which were suspended
from A. F. Of L, membership
along with it, will now meet with
Green, or other federation Off
cialS, there may be found still a
means of closing the breach
which has split union labor
ranks wide open for the first
time in half a century.
So said the tired federation
president after the delegates
voted 21,679 to 2,O43 to continue
suspension Of the rebels in re-
sponse to recommendations Of
the conventions resolutions COM
mittee.
Peace Machinery Provided
These recommendations, ap-
proved with but one modification
in the text Of the resolution COM
mittee's report, provided:
/. Continued indefinite Sus-
pension of the rebellious c. I. o.
unions.
2. Continued existence of a
special committee appointed
some time ago to seek a means
of settling differences between
the Lewis unions and the A. F.
Of L.
3. Power for the executive
council to first make peace over
lures and. these failing, call the
A. F. Of L. into special conven-
ton at any time it sees fit, for
the purpose of taking further
action against the rebellious
faction.
The c. I. o. unions were sus-
pended on September S by the ex-
ecutive council, after they started
a drive to organize steel and allied
industries along mass or industrial
lines, and refused to heed cenSure
or command from federation Off
cials.
The federation vote came after
nine hours Of debate. When the
roll call was recorded half an hour
after midnight, Green told re-
porters:
eve will renew our offers to
negotiate. The C. 1. o. unions
will be advised Of the A. F. of L.
decision.
81 will meet with Lewis If he
desires it. If we can be permit
ted to sit at a conference table,
l feel sure that solution to this
problem can be found"
Back Of this pleading was the
blunt assertion of Green and other
craft union leaders that the A. F.
of L. would never submit meekly
to minority rule, meaning the
C. I. o.
