He walked on with German into the living
room The butler did not follow. -Four or five
doors opened from the room. German had an
impression of men standing behind all of them.
Somebody's been smoking here, inside of
ten minutes" said Criffiths. The servants.
perhaps? Or has our bird just flown? Look
at this!''
He picked up a long platinum cigarette case
which lay open on an end table beside the
davenport.
1.-TWO of them, sitting here, and here" said
Grifiths, pointing to the slightly depressed
cushion at the end of the davenport, and then
to the over stuffed chair which faced it at
slight angle "Sit down there and help me
Think
German dropped sidelong into the chair
as Griffiths took cigarette from the case. A
thin, very thin and sadly familiar fragrance
reached German. The name for it jumped
into his mind an instant later.
"Chanso,s de Nuit!' he cried out.
what the devil are you talking about?"
snapped Griffiths, lighting the cigarette.
'It's her perfume" exclaimed German. on
his feet with excitement. ELISE has been in
this chair!''
Good boy, Johnny" said Griffiths. Here
she sits i. Elise Woodward. And there
sits the Marchese. They talk. As they talk, he
gives her out of his cigarette case one of his
doped cigarettes, like this one!'
He dropped the cigarette on the expensive
rug and ground his heel into it.
''I1l even tell you what the talk was
about said Griffiths. ut was about love,
Johnny The grand passion, love forever!
Evening star., 1938-05-08

German, strangely helpless, walked over
to the chair and rested hand on the back of
it still conscious of those doors, which waited
around them. And now. in fact a door at his
left stirred. then slowly opened. He flashed
a glance at Griffiths but saw the tall man
shaking his head in despair. That door gradu-
ally widened Then in the deep shadow he
saw figure, dimly, like something under
water. 1t was servant who stepped into the
room and stood back against the wall, waiting
for orders.
We've got to get out" whispered German
to Crif1iths. We've got to get on that road"
They're too many miles ahead of us :.
What does the Marchese drive?"
"A long, low snake of green Car from his
native land" answered German.
"And he goes fast?"
Like bullet But there are the police
We can call the police
For what? To stop man who takes
drive with a girl of her own volition?"
But he has criminal record!" said Cor
man.
1--WE can't prove the crime on him now.
Nothing but few REFERS in cigarette case.
That's ALL Besides, you don't want to blacken
the reputation of Elise"
do you mean to say that our hands are
tied behind our backs?" said German.
But he found Griffiths looking at the wide
shouldered servant who stood as passive as
wall decoration.
mario? Isn't it Mario?" asked Griffiths.
The servant shrugged his shoulders.
But that's your name, isn't it," asked
Griffiths.

"Well?" asked Mario.
impassive. 4
We've got to get out OF
here We've got to get on
the road" pleaded German
of his friend.
We've missed" said
Griffiths. Unless there's
ghost of a chance in my
= brain, now, we've missed a
few minutes, as good as
2F8 miles. There's more than
IA one way to get there
Then he added: But.
r. Mario, where have seen
that fine face of yours
before?"
II can't tell" growled
Mario
Near something impor
tant," said Griffiths. 1--WE seen you in the
newspaper your picture near something i'm
portant What was it? Mario, in the ring?
With those big shoulders of yours. you'd be
perfect in the ring. Mario. A picture of Mario
about to fight for a title with a champion
Was that it,"
Mario blinked He said nothing
mo, not near champion in the newspaper.
1t wasn't just picture. I've seen Mario in
the flesh. BEFORE" said Griffiths, rejecting
aloud. I've seen that pale bronze with the
little sheen, the patina - won't call it a
greasy look
The lips of Mario parted, showed his teeth.
and then closed firmly together again.
Where was it Mario?" asked Griffiths.
Were you behind the bar of some big ship.
serving some important man, some big man,
some power behind throne, say?"
The maddened impatience of German was
subdued little as he listened to Griffiths.
thinking out loud, feeling his way forward
to some conclusion.
"A power - behind a throne" said
Griffiths "A power behind - hidden power
"a fellow who doesn't show his hand to the
public d man who doesn't make headlines
but who can fairly shake the nation
Mario, have it! You belong to the Big Fellow
don't you?"
Mario leaned little from the wall. Once
more speech twisted his face into an ugly
pattern, but again the lips closed tightly to-
gether before the words came.
The Big Fellow. That's it. remember,
now. One day at the Pennsylvania Station,
getting off the train and carrying the suitcases
of Big Payne heard him speak your name.
Why. that's great honor, Mario"
"You- you talk too much" said Mario,
and he managed to put wonderful amount
of meaning into the words, jabbing fore
finger at Griffiths as he spoke.
"Why, Mario" said Griffiths, II should
have known you at once A man trusted with
the suitcases of Big Payne - Lord knows
how many regulations you were carrying in
your hands, that day.
He smiled with both eyes and lips at Mario.
To German he said, in swift, guarded mur
mur: He belongs to Payne the political graft
er, the thug. the man behind everything.
But he's here in this house. 1t means a tie-in
between Payne and the Marchese. Waltz
He went to the telephone and picked it up
As he did so, Mario kicked his foot twice
against the wall.
That was what caught the attention of
German, so that he did not hear the number
which Grifiths was giving to the operator
But Mario heard it we'll enough. He heard it

- oRMAN got the car under way at
once and shot it out onto the road.
Have been fool?" he heard
~ Griffiths murmur again. But there
are no more of these quick marriages, now.
Every state has cut down on them"
But there's Maryland!" cried Gorman.
There's that little town where they still
ask no questions
Don't tell me that that's dropped out of
my mindv' groaned Grifiths. How far from
here to there?"
"A hundred and twenty miles, perhaps"
said German. "Al, is that it, do you Think"
"Well see," said Griffiths. IF I've let this
game out of my hand, want it cut off at the
wrist No more thinking about it till we
make sure
So they spoke no more, as German hurled
they reached the house of Nocera. 1t was a
small place with modest front patterned
over by climbing vines. Before they went in,
Gr;ffiths paused to look over the house as
though it had a human face. Only two lights
we're burning in it.
There may be some big trouble here.
Johnny" he said. "You never carry gun in
your car, do you?"
Never" said German, his flesh turning
a little cold.
Then we won't need it. We're going to be
polite until our bones ache Come along"
When they rang the bell, sallow-faced
servant opened the door and bowed to them.
The Marchese, he was sorry to say, was not
at home.
TOO bad to miss him." said Griffiths.
"And Miss Woodward went with him?"
She had not been seen, said the butler.
He was very sorry; and he began to close the
door. German butted it wide open with his
shoulder and strobe in past the man. He was
aware of two dim figures standing in door
way at the foot of the hall.
Luigi #. Mario j.. b0ztenza" called
the butler; and the two men disappeared.
STEADY, Johnny! Steady" said Grifiths.
There's probably no use trying to take this
bull by the horns"
Its the only lead we have" muttered
German, land l have to do something or
go crazy"
1--WE want Elise Woodward, said Grifiths
How long ago was she here?"
I'm sorry" said the butler Miss Wood
ward has not been here -"
when you want to tell lie, remember
not to roll your eyes" advised Griffiths.

If Groonbolt is to roolizo the pro-

and it's management, it must be populated
by good citizons--and good citizens
those. who tako active part in tho
lifo Of tho corrr1ni ty, who mako positive,
creative contributions to tho public
welfare.
We must irvost in tho community,
if VIC to draw from tho community tho
dividends wo had hoped for.
Therefore I respectfully recommend
to each citizen Of Groonbclt tho follow
ing minimum program Of participation in
public life. I Will not hero undertake
to dofond ny recommendations, but
have considered them carefully, ond boz
l1cvo they are essential.
The minimum amount Of timc demanded
by each activity is indicated. T strong-
1y recommend that each citizen give moro

KENNY BAKER
 IS STARRED IN
 COLISEUM BILL
Large Supporting Cast in MT. Dood Takes
 the Air

Although Kenny Baker, popular radio singer, has had several bit parts, he has his first job as lead ing man in MT Dodd Takes the Air" which is showing at the Coli scum Theater tonight and tomor- row night.
 The plot is taken from Clarence Burlington Kelland's story. "The Great Crooner." Baker sings five new song hits in the production, the numbers being written by Al Dublin and Harry Warren.
 His success is due to his winning a song prize which gave him the chance to sing for a week at the renowned Cocoanut Grove. It was there that Mervyn LeRoy, film di- rector found Kenny.
 It was not until two years after he meet LeRoy, that he was given his chance in the movies.
 There is also a large supporting cast which includes Frank McHugh, in the comedy role, Allie Brady, Ger trude Michael and Jane Wyman.
