BEGIN HERE TODAY

Julia Craig, secretary to George
Woodford, lawyer, is ambitious to
become a night club singer. Julia
shares an apartment with Amy
Sanders.
Peter Kemp, young lawyer, is
in love with Julia, but they quar-
rel and she tells him everything
is over between them.
Woodford gives a yacht party
ard asks Julia to come as
singer. The guests include Cintra
Lee, dancer; Mrs. Joseph, Widow;
Hugo Nash, and Royal Nesbitt.
Julia goes, later regrets it. The
yacht lands at Evergreen Island
where Woodford has a lodge.
Julia meets Tom Payson, camp
ing nearby, who offers to help
her get away.
The men go hunting and Mes
bitt is injured. Woodford's party
leaves Immediately to get him to
a doctor.
Back home, Julia is hired to
sing on Tony Latta's gambling
ship. Tom Payson comes to the
ship frequently. One night, after
Tom had won heavily, Tony tells
Julia she must discourage Tom
from leaving early.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XVIII
Woodford stirred uncomfort-
ably in his chair. you're sure
you've told no one besides this
Miss Sanders who shares an
apartment with you?"
Julia hesitated, wondering how
much she should reveal to Wood
ford. She remembered having
told Tom Payson that Nesbitt had
been injured-but she hadn't told
him of Nesbitt's disappearance
from the yacht. Suddenly she de-
cided to play safe, to hold from
Woodford the fact that Payson
knew something of the cruise of
the Wood Nymph. And if she
did tell the lawyer that Payson
knew, he might shrewdly connect
Payson with the young man who
had tried to trick his way into
the radio room of the yacht.
/ mo :" Julia said slowly.
"Tm quite sure I've mentioned it
to no one else"
Woodford got up from his
chair and walked to the window.
He stood silent a moment, look
ing out. Then quickly he turned
to Julia again. "When did you
tell Miss Sanders?"
"Only last night"
! Woodford's relief was like a
mask dropped suddenly over his
worried features. "Then she can't
have had much time to talk" he
said. .........
Amy doesn't y talk idly" de-
Tended Julia. "But why all this
fretting over what I've said about
the trip, Mr.. Woodford? Is this
why you asked me to come here?''
! eyes" Woodford answered
quickly. cts extremely import
ant that you or your friend say
nothing about the cruise of the

He claimed Rep. VIM. Lemke,

OFF SENTENCE.
Involves More Japanese by
Giving information;
Gets IS Years
JUDGE WHITENING
in HIS EXCORIATICN

LOS ANGELES. July 7. (UP).
Harry Thompson. former U. S.
Naval yeoman, was ready to be
shipped off to a federal prison
last night as a convicted spy, af-
ter having bought back five years
of freedom by revealing details
of a plot to seize American war
secrets.
Thompson was given Is years
of a possible 20-year sentence, af-
ter a bitter castigation delivered
from the bench by Federal Judge
Leon Yankwich, who said the
lighter sentence was imposed be-
cause he was Informed Thompson
made a last-minute statement i'm
plicating others.
The ex-SailOr was convicted by
a jury which deliberated only four
minutes on a charge Of pilfering
naval secrets from vessels of the
battle fleet and peddling them to
representative of the Japanese
government.
Toshio Miyazaki, lieutenant
commander in the Japanese I'M
perial navy and formerly an at
tache of the Japanese embassy,
indicted with Thompson, report
edly fled when the latter was ar
rested.
Thompson, %, discharged from
the navy eight years ago after
holding a petty officers rank,
stood erect, listening impassively
while the judge, his voice at times
trembling with emotion, dubbed
him "a Judas Iscariot" and "a era
ven who strikes at the foun-
dation of national safety"
His lips twitched slightly when
the judge told him his defense
