iety. That was quite an outburst for
the usually Unconditional Leonard Holt
especially since he was very def
initely and, presumably, happily en-
gagged to the beautiful Ilya Zichonyi,
only daughter of very important
Minister in the affairs of the king
less kingdom of Hungary.
"Now that you speak of it," nod
ded Major Harris deliberately, "seems
to me that's the same charming lit
tie lady who kicked up such bob
berry in Bucharest. Quite turned the
diplomatic corps on their respected
ears, don't you know? AS My Amer
lean cousins Ian and Leonard would
say, she 'vamped' one of our under
secretaries into all kinds of foolish
indiscretions. What the ultimate one
was, I don't know, but she dropped
poor Williughby like hot penny af-
ter she'd made complete damn fool
of him. There must have been some
thing more serious to it all, else
there's no accounting for the way he
suddenly dropped out Of sight. It's
all very well to laugh and joke about
these things, but there is no point
in deliberately putting ones head in
to noose."
A slight chill made Ian SILVER and
he suddenly noted that the sun had
disappeared behind the palaces on
!; the hill across the river.
"There are other rumors, too"
commenced d'Armonot thoughtfully

CHAPTER |

On a certain terrace of the famous
hotel Duna-Palota, where at tea time
smart women show off stupid dogs
and forget even stupidier husbands,
three uniformed officers and two civ
ilians sat drinking cocktails about a
table which commanded an excellent
view of the swiftly flowing Danube.
It was that hour when the setting
sun was gliding the age-old Gothic
spires of Buda, and tinting with red
the roofs of the empty Hapsburg
palaces on the heights. Passing be-
yond these relics of imperial gran
deur it cast oblique golden rays thru
the fresh leafed chestnuts to touch
the gold braid on Count Alexander
Exler's green uniform with a brush
of fire. 1t drew sparkling high lights
from the slender cocktail glasses,
from silver scattered in disorder a
mong the ash trays and made brave
brilliance among the decorations deck
ing the horizon blue chest of Cap
tain Robert d'Armonot, military at
tache' at the French Ministry.
Though the terrace was becoming
deserted, the group about that par
tciular table apparently had no in
tention of leaving their half finish
ed cocktails.
Ian Gray, First Secretary to his Ex-
cellency, the American Minister, sip
ped the last of his Clover Club al
most lazily, then drawled:
"Oh, you idiots and your eternal
drivel about pretty women. I could
forgive you if you didn't always exag-
gerate. You're always promising to
produce Venus herself and all I find
is Lilth or Mademoisellee Nitouche."
"So?" Captain d'Armonot's slender
black brows shot upwards in a quiz
zical grin. "Mon Dieu, but you are
blase. There's no satisfying you"
Across the table from the other
civilian sat blonde young man well
built and with eyes that were SEN
sitive and softly blue. His was a
well-shaped, but none too forceful
a mouth, and chin. He raised his
glass and said with a casualness that
was at once noticeable.
"In that case-here's to the hour

Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-03-19

Hobbs, of New Hanover, started work
on a compromise bill to regulate wine
making in the State.
The House revived measures it had
killed which would require bonds of
all peace officers, provide for pay
ment of teachers in ~ equal monthly
installments, and clarity tax fore
closure laws.
The conference group on the school
machinery act had not reported this
afternoon.
A compromise bill to reduce the
cost of automobile license plates was
up for second reading in the House
today as the General Assembly work
ed toward sine die adjournment by
tomorrow night.
The House, which had tried to cut
the cost from 40 to 80 cents per 100
pounds, concurred last night in Sen
ate amendment to reduce the cost to
35 cents. The Senate, meanwhile, ag-
reed to House section lowering the
hundredweight tax on contract haul
ers from $1.35 to $1.15.
An obstacle to adjournment this
week was seen in the status of the So
called "Ickes bill, authorizing counties
and municipalities to issue revenue
bonds to match PWA bonds. It has
yet to be taken up by the Senate, and
passage would require readings on
three separate days.
