CHAPTER VII
Q Dornford Votes

The festival held that evening in
Tracery's Medici Room was one of
such intimate splendor of matter
and mind that. though I subscribed
TO it, when first I awoke the next
morning, l wondered if it was not a
dream.
/ sat between two Old Masters
on the left the Duchess of Whelp
and the right of the Countess of
Brief. Each glowed with the ster-
ling quality of a forgotten age. Lost
arts made up their being. Sheer
beauty lived with kindness: sheer
hrilliance beamed with good will.
And each admiring the other was
thus exalted. Their natural royalty
was duly served. Powdered foot
men in scarlet livery stood behind
every chair: gold plate winked upon
the table: the choicest fare was
perfectly presented.
And there I will leave an event
which neither Herrick nor / will
ever forget, for that evening we two
hobnobbed with the stuff that queens
were made of in olden days.
That Herrick found instant favor,
] need not say. Indeed, Old Harry
and lie were as good as play, for,

Elizabeth raised her eyebrows.
"T'm afraid you're an idealist,
Richard. And that's a mistake, my
dear. Red Lead Lane should have
shown you But then the COM
plete idealist never learns. If it
makes you happy to set me up in
niche, why then you must have your
way. I'll smile upon you from there.
And sometimes, when you're not
looking, might climb down and be
good-looking girl, with the usual
human passions, weakness for ami
mails and a definite love of dress"
She plucked at her frock. "Can there
any good thing come out of Salz-
burg? My dear, you wait. If you
like the look of me now, you'll get
up and walk at Brief"
There spoke Old Harry" said I:
''but not Elizabeth"
She whipped her arm out of mine
and started aside.

sent for pair of steps,"
Elizabeth laughed. Then she slid
her arm through mine.
'I wish I was going with you.
I've been so happy at Raven: and
if this morning I'd dreamed that I
shouldn't come back, II wouldn't
have gone. It may have been out
of order, but I know I'd jump at
the chance to do it again. I've
much enjoyed my weekend
with a couple of men,"
They'll miss you terribly, Eliza
BETH"
"Sit in the meadow tomorrow
I'll think of you there. Close to
the stream-by yourself: between
lunch and tea. And, if ! can, I'll
sit here-at the head of the steps.
Oh, and please be very careful and
always go armed. Remember, he
knows where you are, and the woods
about Raven are thick"
81 promise" I said. "And on
Tuesday ;"
son Tuesday I'll see you again.
And on Wednesday We'll ride be-
fore breakfast - that's natural
enough. Besides, it'll be my job
to entertain you as guest"
"I'n never be easy" I said,
when you're out of my sight. Here
I know that you're safe: but at
Brief - drew in my breath.
"Can you trust your maid? I think
she should sleep in your suite"
Perhaps you're right. I'll see
what Old Harry says"
"I'd be easier, Elizabeth. You
see, by day I can always be within
call. But by night I can't. And if
you want me to sleep-wel, you'll
do as 1 ask"
My lady lifted her head to the
lambert sky.
"You don't look back" she said,
edo you-when you've put your
hand to the pillow? You're not going
to rest till-till you've carried me
out of the wood?"
"Men don't lay down their honors
before their time"
"And them"
"They lay them down." I said
slowly: "and go their way"
There was little silence.
"What way shall you go, Rich
ard?"
/ drew myself up.
81 don't know. Perhaps John Her
rick will help me. We might do
something together, until Lord
Naseby dies. But I'll always be
at your service. You'll only have
to call me. I'll always come"
"Why do you say that, Richard?"
Because you have made me your
servant-for as long as I live
81 don't want you to be my serv-
ant"
I laughed at that.
''Then you shouldn't have your
eyes, or your mouth, or your beau
tiful ways. You shouldn't move as
you do, or throw smile over your
shoulder, or push back your hair
from your temples with one of your
lovely hands. And you shouldn't
have your nature-which makes a
man want to pay tribute with all his
heart"
"And what does he get-in re-
turn"
"He's paid in advance" said I.
"That very question shows that you
don't understand. To have to do
with you is to run into debt-your
debt. And at once ones instinct is
to do what little one can to pay you
back"

not the nonSuch I think you are.
But it only upsets me, my lady,
and doesn't do any good. I know
you've got failings-you must have,
because you're of flesh and blood:
but you're rather exceptional-'The

That she might admired be- Well,

Raven, and, remembering Old Har-

God that Elizabeth was not with us

said. "The fire-arm has gone"
"Gone?" said I, staring.
"Gone," said Herrick. "As told

and led the way.
For full five minutes we sought it,
and sought it in vain.
At length
Brenda must have it," said I.
''The things not here"
''I don't think that's likely" said
Herrick, 'in view of what Winter
said. And yet I can hardly believe
that Percy Ebert the Good would
steal it away. And tell me another
thing. Why do these crises arise,
when one is so drunk with sleep that
one can hardly stand up?"
With that, he sank heavily down
on the foot of his bed.
AS he did so, a deafening explo-
sion made me jump out of my skin,
and, in one most frantic CONFUSION,
Herrick leapt upward and outward,
as though propelled by some spring.
"My God," said I, and ripped the
quilt from the bed.
Twelve inches from the foot of the
bedstead, broad-arrow ruck in the
blanket declared that below the
blanket something had moved.
I turned to Herrick.
"Are you all right?"
His hands clapped fast to his
seat

mean: but you can't sit down on a

as I have said before, his address
was beyond compare, and think
that each of them whetted the 9TH
er's wit.
When dinner was done, Herrick
and I were left with orders to ''join
the ladies" in ten minutes time:
and when that had gone, we were
led to a glorious salon, whose Six
teenth-century tapestries filled the
eye.
Though the evening was warm, a
fire of logs had been lighted upon
the hearth: before this the Duchess
was resting upon a mighty chaise
tongue, and Elizabeth was stand
ing beside a janb of the fireplace,
one of her beautiful hands on the
chiseled stone, regarding the lei
surely flicker that lowered above a
hillock of rose-gray ash.
AS the door closed behind us
"I have ordered your car" said
Old Harry, ''for half past ten. That
gives us just half an hour, which
should be enough. I've one or two
things to say, and I'll say them
first.
"I think we all know where we
are and where we shall be next
Tuesday at five o'clock. On no ac-
count try to conceal that we have
already met. That way madness
lies. We have all met here tonight
for the very first time. Let no one
be i'll at ease. Except for Richard
Exon, don't think anyone will"
"Oh, madam" protested Herrick.
"Don't interrupt" said Old Harry.
"Besides, you'd be at ease with a
gaggle of Elders discussing the
wrath to come"
! very near laughed and Eliza
beth covered her mouth.
eff you feel uneasy, Richard, al
ways remember at once that though
Brief is doing the honors, you are
Elizabeth's guest. And that, think,
should bring your confidence back.
You will take your man, Winter,
with you, and I shall take three
servants to look after me. One will
be Parish-that excellent English
page whom you have already seen.
Should need arise, we can commu-
nicate through them, with all con-
venience. Tell the police that you
have been invited to Brief, as you
understand, to meet me. That will
set you above all suspicion, such is
this snobbish world.
'One thing more.

has, therefore, written to them to
say that by my advice she will have
the gems reset and desiring them
to be ready with new designs
against her coming to London in six
weeks time. That letter will send
the ball flying: and since she gave
this address, the reply will come to
Sais house and will go on to Brief by
hand, in my private bag.

anything else? Because, if they can,

CHAPTER XVIII

Judy never knew how she got of phat ship. Marvel, following her out of Dwight's room, was admirably self-composed after her passionate outburst, but Judy's lips were white and her knees were shaking.
 Riding home, Jack Hanley mo- ticed her quietness, the way her fingers picked at the bag in her lap. But he said nothing. Maybe he thought it was seeing Dwight again that had unnerved her.
 I'm going straight back to the Enterprise" he said, as the car pulled up in front of her door. "We shove of in the morning. More routine flights. The battle- wagons and cruisers will be 1eav- ing for the North, but no one seems to know whether we'll go later or not"
 She clung to his steady hands. "Call me as soon as you get back, Jack" Her smile was tremulouS. "And happy landingsl"
 With most of the men gone, the station settled into an unusual quiet in the next few days. The wives of the men on the battle ships made plans to drive to Bremerton. Three or four girls went in each car, and even those with children were making the trip.
 The wives of the pilots on the Enterprise were the only ones who were uncertain of what would

 Once curious thought struck her. if ward could know-Ward who had died gallantly with his ship in the dark waters of the At- lai1tic = wouldn't he have wanted Jack to take his place? Jack Han ley had been his closest friend. And Judy was honest enough to admit that Ward had ever disliked the type of man Dwight Campbell was. Why was 1t that she could see Dwight's faults so clearly, and love him still?
 one night as she was lying in bed, and these things were churI1- ing in her mind, -.le telephone rang. Judy had no extension in her room, and she waited, sud- denly wide-awake, for her mother to answer from her own room. But Mother had not heard it. It rang and rang, until Judy reached for her robe and slipped down. stairs. Her heart was pounding with a sudden sick foreboding.

 It couldn't be the Enterprise, she told herself. Her father would not be called in the middle of the night, like this, unless it was something right here in the sta- ton.

 TN STAMPS
Philippine Rice Londs- Marvel of the Orient

THE lessons and the machinery
 of modern agriculture have not penetrated effectively to the farm- ing regions of the Philippines. The water buffalo is still an important beast of the field and the last island census showed there were 2,227,000 of these animals in the territory But Philippine crops are still the marvel of the orient.
 Particularly is this true of the finely developed rice terraces. The Indonesian peoples of northern Luzon rank as the most careful agriculturists, especially the Ifua- go. To them the art of rice culture is one of the most exact and in- tricate in the world.
 So they have built up the series of rice terraces which today pro- duce annually about 100000 to 3,000,000 short tons, valued in ex- cess of $T00, 100000. And at the same time they produce upwards of 1,000,0 metric tons of sugar a year, 200,000 tons of abaca, thou- sands of tons of tobacco, millions of coconuts, tons of coeonut oil and copra. About 96 per cent of the area under cultivation is owned by Filipinos. The average farm comprises about five acres. There are more than 2,000,000 in- dividual farms like this through out the islands.
 Yet in 1897 only 45,90O,00O acres, or 63 per cent of the total area of the islands, were suitable for cultivation, and of this only about 9,743, ,000 acres were utilized for growing crops. There were 13,000.00O acres under grass or open lands and 46,000, ,0O0 acres in forests. The rice terraces are shown above on a 1881 stamp of the islands.

Corsairs Chatter
(By Charlie A. Gerace)


 Back again with more news of whats doing among the members.
 The Corsairs Jrs., after having opened their season brilliantly against the Maple Hills were de- feated by a hard fighting Owl team by the tune of 20-15. In this game Little Joey Sileo one time Corsair was the outstanding star of the tilt sinking four hoops when most needed.
 The Jrs. will take on the Second Cong. this Tuesday at the Pearl Street Community house at 8:3O D. m. The Juniors are out for revenge against the Knights because last year they dropped two close games.
 F9itz Stolfi who started in Tues days game against the Owls played the best game for the Juniors. Be- sides playing 8 slam bang game FritB also went on a scoring spree scoring two field goals.
 Coach Joe Nardozzi's wife, Angie who is an ardent rooter of the Jrs was sorely disappointed by the show ing of the boys against the Owls.
 The Corsairs Seniors held their first practice last Tuesday at the Armory. Those present at the prac- tice were Joe Landolfi, Tony Guer- rera, Tootie Nardozzi, and Paulie OLear. When the boys returned from practice they were all tired out and all they wanted was a nice soft chair.
 Most of the Corsairs are playing with the St. Thomas c. Y. O. bas- ketball teams. On the Senior team are Joe Landolfi, Tony Guerrero, Sal and Frankie Nardozzi and Cal Stolfi. On the Junior squad the boys picked were Fritz Stolfi, Capt. Joe De Palma. Donnie Mancini.
 Now that the Thanksgiving holi- day is over all the boys are begin- ming to concentrate on basketball.
 Donnie Mancini was all smiles last Saturday night because the Tommies who are under his supervision won their first league game at the N. E. ".
 Most of the boys cuddled around the fire Friday night and listened to the slam-bang bout between Henry Armstrong and Garcia.
 Dom Lucian is sporting a new jacket given to him by the mem bers of the CorSairs JrS., in appre- citation for his work to get the suits.
 Harry Bovine our bespectacled Notre Dame fan is hoping that Mo- tre Dame will take over Southern California in their last game and so go undefeated. But win or lose, Harry can always boast of his team for they beat some of the best teams in Minnesota (our presidents fav- orite team) Carnegie Tech, and Northwestern.
 Jerry Coyiello our tonsorial mem Der took trip to New York Sunday to see Larry Clinton and his orches- tra at the Paramount.
 This weeks personnel: Harold Bo- vino.
 Harold, better known as Harry" stands 5 feet inches and has black wavy hair. Harry plays in all three of the major sports, baseball, basket ball and football. In baseball, Harry covers the outfield, and to my opinion has about one of the best throwing arms I've seen yet. In football Harry stands out as a great passer: but this year decided to re- tire for year in basketball. Harry's fav, rite team is that great unbeat- eY team Notre Dame.
 Until next week-so long.
