hand on his arm.
Captain tonight, while you
are so lucky, would you take an
other chance-a greater one?"
"Absolutely!" he answered light
ly. What's the hazard?"
When she tried to tell him, her
heart leaped into her throat.
She got the words out at last
Would you-marry me? Without
questions? Without reasons? If
1 were to ask you?"
He was silent so long she Won
dered if she had really spoken
aloud or had uttered the words
only in her mind. She was about
to repeat them when he replied
in a voice no longer light, but very
thoughtful. Marry you? Yes. I'd
even take a chance on that to-
night, if I thought you meant it."

Denny. Think a moment. Do
you realize what you are doing?"
Yes. The Commander is aboard

All right. Wait here. I'll go

And. galvanized into alertnesS, she
stepped out on deck.
After the first startled second,
the swinging light, the crashing
waters. the hunters singing all
blended into something that SUI
fused Denny with an 6Shilaratlng
sense of velocity, a fierce. reck-
less JOY. a new and glorious aware
ness of being. She lifted her face
to the sharp air. "SWifter! Fast
er!" sang an mleaShed spirit pa
pers that would nullify the effect
of the gin-inSpired Hart-BaggS
nuptials But it must be a bona
fide wedding. There must be a
persOnable fleSh-and-blood groom
whom she could take home to eX-
hibit to the cynical eyes in San
Francisco.
ObliviouS now to everything but
this startling idea, she drew her
mothers letter from her pocket,
and clutching it, considered the
matrimonial material available.
Van Cleve-he was a gentleman of
her own world. His life was in
chaos as hers was. He would un-
derStand without too much eX-

imperSonal way. consent to be her
husband in name only, for so
long as she needed him.
But no, Van Cleve. she sudden
ly remembered, was returning to
Tarnigan to await whatever Fate
might have in store for him. 1t
was imperative that she marry
some one who would accompany
her back to San Francisco.
Denny. alive again to her sur

either side were going backward

Denny felt herself caught up as

force and swept on toward a goal

Yet, through all the chaos, a
tiny detached portion of her brain

She reached backward inside
the door and snapped off the light,
so that darkness might mask her
face, within her, defying deStruc-
ton, annihilation.
Then, like needle to a magnet,
her gaze went to the pllothouSe
where Revelry Bourne, the only
really sane thing in this wild
night, stood guiding the Maid. AT
the sight of his dim figure, a feel
ing that transcribed admiration
pierced her. Action there-but not
unthinking action. RecklesSnesS -
for he was taking desperate
chances - but not heeolesSneSS.
Swift to see and lightning to act,
his hands spun the wheel with
an inspired accuracy that time
after time averted destruction by
a margin of inches.
Even in her chaotic emotional
state, this thought persisted. He
had learned to fight, to compel his
river: had learned to twist its
strength to serve his need. Might
not she, caught in the SWlrlmg
stream of humiliation, fight thru
to a victory any sort Of victory
she thought desperately, so long
as it would save her pride.
From somewhere came the an
swer; Fight fire with fire mar

spectacular marriage, like Sylvia'S!
Her mind. suddenly clear, began
to work with mwonted rapidity,
A cabled account of her own mar
riage under dramatic circum-
stances, and Sylvia. receiving it,
could be trusted to make a story
for the press. For she knew sud
denly, desperately. that she was
going to ask Revelry Bourne TO
marry her.
She strove for a manner that
would cloak her agitation. She
must begin by saying something
gay. appreciative. And she must
say it at once, for he was standing
in front of her. Singularly quiet
now, as If he were studying her.

Like a girl in a dream, Denny
stood beside Rcvclry Bourne in the
dark whcclhouse of the Maid, star
ing through the window at the
cleaning river, the bending trees,
the shCreline wheeling past. The
commander, facing them, was re-
peating the marriage ritual, which
she heard only vaguely. She kept
repeating to herself, I'm getting

But she couldn't believe it.

WHITE RUSSIAN
 GENERALS LOST
Two of Them Disappear in Paris Under Mysterious
 Circumstances

Paris, September 23.-(Up)-Two C2arist Russian generals, leaders among Emigre White Russians, were missing today and friends feared one or both had been kidnapped by poe litical enemies.
 Police first sent out Q general alarm for Gen. Eugene Miller, chief of the White Russians. A check on his movements led them to seek Gen. Nicholas scobline, one of his chief aides, and 1t was discovered that Sco2line, too, was missing.
 Recall Another Mystery
 Associates of the missing men at once recalled the still mysterious disappearance of Gen. Alexander Koutiepoff, himself a supreme lead- CT of White" Russians, in 1880. He disappeared here. It was indi. cated that he had been Kidnapped by political agents and that he died on his way to the seacoast. Other reports were that he was taken to Soviet Russia.
 Gen. Miller was to have presided ct 0 meeting of his associates yes- terday. He did not appear. A quiet search was started for him--at first by his wife and their friends.
 Miller Left Letter
 Then 1t was discovered that Gen Miller had left Q letter ct the head. quarters of the White Russian Wal Veterans association last night when search for Gen. Miller wa unavaiNng, the letter was opened It was addressed to Gen. Paul Kus. sonsky, head of the war veterans organization and chief aid of Gen Miller.
 The letter alleged that Gen. Miller had arranged c meeting with c Ger man army officer and on attache of the German embassy. May Be An Ambush
 Tt may be an ambush" the let- ter said. Apparently the suspicion that enemies had represented them selves as arranging the meeting for the Germans mentioned led Gen. Miller to write the letter.
 The generals letter named Gen, scobline, as having arranged the meeting
 Officers Of the Veterans aSsocia- ton hastily summoned Q meeting of all members. Gen. Scobllne attended and denied that he had arranged any meeting for Gen. Miller.

 At the present time Waterbury Is without such aa attraction. Persons desirouS of dining and dancing amid such surroundings have been forced to travel to neighboring cities and towns, the while wishing that such an attraction were available in Wa. terbury.
 Clyde Jennings. manager of the Elton, stated today that work on the Flemish room, which will be shortly accorded another title, has already begun. Following the com- pletion and opening of the new room, the present Rhythm room will also be given another name and used exclusively for banquets.
 Mir. Jennings has planned 6 ten- tative schedule which will allow for dancing on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

On Sundays and Mondays the room will also be open, but only until about 9 or 10 p. m. and there will be no dancing.
 When completed the new room will be approximately the same size as the present Rhythm room. but 1t will be equipped with facilities and features found only in similar rooms located in recognized New York hotels.
 Designs for the alterations to the new room call for enlargement by knocking down 6 wall of an ad- joining room, removal of the fire place and installation instead of a band stand, reconditioning of the balcony which will also be a por- ton of the new room, moderniza-
