They said the clipper carried heavy

Sharp Protest Made In Toxic.

MOSCOW, July 80 tP.-A vigorous
soviet protest against new "provoca-
tions by Japanese e-Manchurian mill
tarists" in the fourth Siberian border
clash this month was before the Japa-
nese government today.
The note, which the Russian charge
d'Affaires in Toxic was told to give
Toxic officials, demanded punishment
of the guilty. and warned that the
Soviet government places the entire
responsibility for consequences of these
actions on organs of the japanese gov
ernment in Manchuria."
The incident occurred near Posiet
Bay, near the junction of borders of
Siberia, japanese Korea and Japanese
supported Manchukuo (Manchuria)
and in the region where japanese de-
clared Soviet troops violated the Man.
chukuo frontier July IL. That episode
brought sharp japanese protest
which the Soviet government flatly
rejected.
There have been two other Incl
dents in that area since July II, but
both were said by both sides to be
minor.
A communique yesterday said Japa-
nese-Manchukuo and Russian troops
suffered an unannounced number of
casualties when the former tried to
occupy a border hill and were de-
cisively driven from Soviet territory"
as result Of measures taken by
Soviet frontier guards.
The statement added that the Japa-
nese government wrongly claimed the
hill near Lake Khasan. Uncertainties
about boundaries have been bases for
number of clashes since 1881, for
there are no natural markers in the
rugged border region and maps are
outdated.
Domei Japanese news agency re-
ported an incident in which 10 Rus
slams were said to have engaged q
japanese patrol yesterday near Chang
kufeng, where the July IL episode oc-
CURED, but the foreign Office in Toxic
today denied it.
Tension resulted on July ~ from
the Soviet rejection of Japanese de-
mands for withdrawal of troops from
the hill in dispute. Japan declared
she rs ready and has every right
to take all necessary steps" to support
the protest, but the Soviet govern
ment replied that Such methods will
not succeed in Moscow and that
the disputed territory belongs to
Russia.

had seen but two, the Japanese
who brought in the meals and
Kitchens, whose manners were still
reminiscent of the movies-seemed
to glide around the house on rub
Der heels. "a
Noel had felt from the first there
was a sort of sinister atmosphere
about the place. Now, after a
night and two days, she was more
convinced of it than before.
And even though she was certain
there was nothing wrong with
Betsy mentally, the child was very
weak, and really should be under
a doctors care.
The next day was Wednesday.
Mrs. Garwood sent word that
Noels day off would not begin un-
til next week. Noel had expected
this and didn't mind, though she
had cherished a faint hope Of see-
ing Laurie and perhaps Julian.
But she really didn't want to
leave Betsy yet. And she had
made up her mind to speak plainly
to Mrs. Garwood about the child's
weakness. Noel didn't believe she
was such an unnatural mother as
not to be interested in helping her
child to get strong and well.
AS Noel walked downstairs, she
heard Kitchens coming down the
formal hall to answer the door.
Noel could not see who was outside
but she heard a woman's pleasant
voice saying: I'D like to see Mrs.
Garwood. This is the second time
I've called. Tell her it's Cora At
wood"
''Mrs. Garwood is facing a ner-,
vous collapse, madam, over the
condition of her child. The doctor
says she mustn't see anybody"
"But Fay and I were always
| such intimate friends" the voice
protested bewilderedly. o "She will
want me, know"
IT have my orders, madam"
Hichens said coolly and closed the
door in the woman's face. He did
not see Noel standing there, but
went to the door of Fay Garwood's
room, just opposite the staircase.
and left the door ajar.
Noel couldn't help seeing inside.
And what she saw gave her q
shock. Fay Garwood was playing
cards with some friends Her arm
was no longer bandaged. She was
using it quite easily.
Also Noel recognized one of the
men at the card table. It was
Luigi's henchman-the man who
had twice followed her home!

oranges and cherries. First Noel
would be the storekeeper, then
Betsy would be, taking turns at
buying and selling the fruit, count
ing it, adding or subtracting as
the case might be.
Noel was rewarded at last to
see a bit of color come into Betsy's
face and a look of interest in her
eyes. Noel found that her mind
worked clearly. There was no
reason at all, Noel decided, to fear
mental trouble or arrested devel-
opment. The truth was, that al
though Betsy tired easily, her mind
seemed quite alert.
When they finished the game,
Betsy rested for an hour. Then
Noel suggested that they go down.
stairs to the terrace and walk
around a bit. But the look that
came into the child's eyes at the
suggestion caused her to quickly
withdraw it. you'd rather not go
to the terrace? 2"
Betsy shook her head quickly.
ooh, nO-nO."
'"Then we won't go. Well just
open the windows in here and walk
around q while. And then I bet
when you see your lunch tray COM
ing, you'll want to eat it all your
self and not leave me a bite"
Betsy actually gave a hoarse
little laugh at that. She slipped
out Of the chair and, arm in arm,
she and Noel walked around the
big room a number of times. Then
they went and stood in one of the
big open windows and drew in deep
long breaths Of the cool air.
But the windows were closed
and Betsy and Noel were playing
store again when the Japanese
servant brought > up the tray fol
lunch. Noel was gratified to see
that Betsy did not regard her food
with quite as much distaste.
After lunch, Noel tucked Betsy
up on the couch and said she was
going to read to her. Noel had
found a book, not a child's book
but one she believed she could
couch in simple language so that
it would be interesting to a child of
Betsy's age.
After reading a while, she saw
that Betsy had fallen asleep. There
was a bit of color in her cheeks,
which had been so waxen white.
The rest of the day passed un-
eventually. Noel didn't hear any
thing from either Laurie or Julian

CHAPTER SO

NO MATTER AVhaL Mrs. Gdr-

Div could not believe that little
Betsy's mind was impaired. 1t was
Noeps firm conviction that if the
child could live a normal life, she
would be as healthy, both mentally
and physically, as any child her
age. Noel made a firm resolution
that in so far as it was possible
she would do everything to make
Betsv's life a more normal life.
That night. by dint Of much
coaxing and persuading, she final
ly induced Betsy to eat a whole
some supper of milk, toast and
fruit. BY 8 o'clock the child was
asleep.
It had been a long day, and this
was the first chance Noel had to
get in touch with Laurie. She Had
been thinking of her all day, WON
dering just what had happened.
Had Jimmy gotten there in time,
or had Laurie gone through With
her determination to marry the
cafe proprietor?
Noel phoned the cafe, to find
that Laurie wasn't there. She then
called Mrs. Blarsom only to find
that Laurie wasn't there either.
Where was Laurie and what had
Happened? Noel felt as if she
couldn't bear the suspense Of not
knowing. She went to bed feeling
4 little sick at heart for it GER
tainly looked as if Laurie had car
ried out her avowed intention. BY
now she was probably Pete Coin
tepas' wife-married to a man she
did not love.
With the morning, Noel again
faced the problem of trying to per-
suade Betsy to eat her breakfast.
The Japanese servant had brought
ND a tray containing food suitable
only for adults. Noel sent him
back for whole milk and cereal.
After some delay, it was brought.
. Betsy looked at the food with
indifference.
"You will eat a little cereal. and
milk just to please me, won't you,
Betsy?" Noel coaxed.
ct did that last night" Betsy
reminded.
..But this is breakfast, and you
must do it again." Noel explained
patiently.
But Betsy shook her head in dis
taste.
Noel gave minute to thinking.
Then she said, Look here, Betsy,

Betsy looked up in surprise, a
little flicker Of interest coming into
her pale face. Friends can play
together and have good times.
Could we?"
"Of course, dear. And friends,
remember, always do things to
please each other. So you must
eat your cereal to please me-"
II will try" Betsy assented.
After that Noel believed nshe

leaned tiredly against her chair
and closed her eyes.
Noel studied her pale little face
for a few moments. To force this
child to study, to discipline her as
her mother had instructed, seemed
to Noel to be an almost inhuman
thing to do.
When Betsy's tired blue eyes
were open again, Noel said, 'See,
darling, we're going to play a
game with these oranges. I'm
