New Puzzle Also Created
by Russia Signing Pact
with Germany

Europe faces a week which many
believe will bring developments
pointing the way to peace or war
as startled statesmen, puzzled by
the sudden announcement of a new
trade agreement between Russia and
Germany, and also many feverish
diplomatic and military measures
for possible conflict of troops mass
ed on both sides of the Polish-Slo-
vanian and Polish German borders.
Germany's press continued today
to state that the day of Reckoning
with Poland over the Danzig sit
uation is approaching and that Ger
many's patience is fast dying under
Polish insolence.
Poland today moved up reinforce
ments to the German border, under
full war equipment.

talks Jagged, causing much surprise
in diplomatic circles.
Informed observers are cautious
and are not specializing on the con-
sequences. Economic experts said
the signing OF the pact and agree

countries"
Russia Is expected to purchase

The trade agreement is expected
to reduce the American Soviet trade.

MOSCOW, Aug. 81. Anglo
French and Soviet military confer
ences were still going on tagging in
Moscow today despite the dash of
cold water thrown on the proposed
three-way military alliance by the
new Soviet German trade treaty.
The newspapers hail the German
treaty as the turning point of So
viet-German relations.
Both Russian and German pro-
paganda agencies went SO far as to
predict a lessening of political ten
sion between Russia and Germany.

You can get these winsone spun
rayon crepes In delectable mono

mere word pictures fail to describe
them. On your fabric sightseeing
tour be on the lookout for prints that
stylize flight of snow white birds

seashell motif on lime green
background and you will thus sense
the charm and beauty of the new
spun rayon crepes.

a S A proper approach to the per-
: = ennial spring sewing program
that soon will be staged in countless
households, we know of no gesture
that will so inspire to hurry and
get going as to take a day off and
go fabric sightseeing. We make the
prediction that at just a mere
glimpse of the new textiles with
their refreshing departure from
the old, In the way of texture, pat
Jennings and colorings, you will feel
an urge stirring to cut and to haste
and to sew.
In this day and age when won
ders are being performed in the
way of textures and weaves, it be-
comes absolutely imperative that
the woman who would sew success
fully must know materials. This is
especially true in regard to wash
fabrics that are a revelation as to
what science is achieving in the way
of non-shrinkage, color-fast-boil-
proof tones and tints and In the way
of weaves of entirely new origin.
Consider for example the new spun
rayon fabrics that are as lovely and
exquisite in texture as Imagination
can conceive.
When you ask to see these fas-
cinating new spun rayons take note
of their marvellous colorings that
are so refreshingly different from
the usual run. Many of the beauti-
full hues and motifs for design are
traced to fine Chinese porcelains
that excel in subtle soft blues and
canary yellows, lime green's, peach
bloom pinks and cherry blossom
reds. You'll love these new wash
fabrics that are so handsome they
really do not look like washables,
but they are and what's more they
are treated to an anticrease process
that greatly enhances them from the
practical standpoint. Some of the
smartest washable crepes combine
the newest fabric (spun rayon) with
one of the oldest (pure inen).

CHAPTER N-Continued

For an instant there was dead
silence.
Then
''Is that you, Elgar?" he cried
and brought my heart into my
mouth.
I had meant to approach him
forthwith, as Elgar would have ap-
preached him, bearing the dressing
case. But now Cigars failure to
answer would tell him that some
thing was wrong, and, once his suS-
picions were reused, it would be but
matter of moments before he dis
covered the truth. And my lady
was still within range
In flash I had whipped to where
] had laid her down. As stopped

GLAND told me he knew we were
gone.
My hands encountered nothing.
Elizabeth was not there. Being
bound, she could not have moved,
yet she was not there. For an in
slant my heart stood still: and then
I saw that, because of the darkness,
! must be a foot or so out. I felt to
the right to the left. took
pace forward, and stepped on a
rotten stick. Its snap declared my
presence and shot glance at the
car. I could, of course, see nothing
except the beam of its lights. Vir-
gil was quiet as death. Death
The man was armed, and Elizabeth
lay hereabouts. Hereabouts, but
where? I fell on my hands and
knees and began to crawl, sweeping
the cobbles before me with one Of
my hands. 1t was just about here
I knew it. More to the right, per-
haps No? Then ! must have
passed her I made my way
back. As I went, cast to and fro
frantically. And then my hand
brushed something-the sole of her
shoe. My heart leaped up to heav-
en- and then fell down into hell.
It was not her shoe. It was that of
the man I had killed-from whose
side had set out to find her mo-
ment ago
What that discovery meant took
year from my life: for it meant that
before the darkness I was a broken
reed, and when I looked to the head
lights to get my bearings afresh,
their beam was gone.

If you see glimpse of lacy frou-

little afternoon dress of silk crepe,

! shook the sweat from my eyes
and tried to think what to do. And
since my thoughts were frenzied and
mostly poisoned by the knowledge
of what ! ought to have done, ! will
not recite them here, but will state

began to steal forward to where I
believed the car was.
Now / had seen Elgar coming be-
cause he was silhouetted against the
dusk which was keeping the world
without. And since I had no wish
to offer to Virgil the target which
Elgar had offered to me, I dropped
to the cobbles and once more be-
gan to crawl.
To say that I watched and prayed
means nothing at all. I moved like
any shadow and listened with all
my might. Elizabeth's life might
depend on my hearing the enemy
move, and I made the slowest prog
ress because my own advance was
bound to embarrass my ear. tried
to keep the direction I hoped was
right by glancing up at the ridge
poles from time to time, but the
court was so broad that they gave
me but little help, and after min
ute or two I could be sure of moth
ing except that / was not heading
away from the house.
And then heard Virgil move.
The man was away to my right,
and his foot had touched something
that stirred-I think, perhaps, fin
der of broken slate.

imperceptible sound that stood up
out of the silence to make me a
fnger-post, for it was so slight, vet

death.
With hammering heart, / turned

ing to listen, but using the utmost
care to deny to Virgil the cue he
had given to me.

And then I knew I was touching
Elizabeth's hair.

Now had ! not been sure that Vir-
gil was near, would have picked
her up and run for the woods: but
he must have heard me moving and
almost at once have seen me against
the dusk, and then we should have
been at his mercy, because be

that we must both stay where we
were, unless and until something
happened to make it less dangerous
to move.
To show her that it was I, I
smoothed her hair and held her
hands tight in mine. Then, very
gently, ! eased the knot from her
throat and lifted the cord from her

awarded the Hoover medal by the
American Society of Civil Engineers
at its eighty-sixth annual meeting In
New York.
The murderer who came in
handy was a Montana Blacdoot In
dian. Jim Hills new railroad, west
bound from st. Paul, was rather
impulsively started. It ran slap
bang into the impenetrable wall Of
the Rocky mountains. There was
an Indian legend that there was a
pass over the divide, along the
course of the Marias river. Mr..
Stevens, a young engineer for the
railroad, talked to the Blackfeet
about it. There was such a pass.
They knew all about it. But not all
Of Jim Hills wampum could bride
them even to point In that direc-
ton. This Marias pass was the
dwelling place of evil spirits, Of
sorcerers, of dreadful demons, and
all who went that way lost either
their lives or their reason.
Mr.. Stevens mushed over the
mountains with the thermOme-
ter at so degrees below zero and
found no pass. But, by chance,
he found a wanderer in the will
derness, a Blackfoot driven out
by his tribe because he had
killed a man. The Indian had
been having a difficult time. A
few devils and monsters, more
or less, meant little to him.
They made deal. The story of
their days-0n-end scramble to
the reof of the continent through
five feet of snow and bitter cold,
with Mr.. Stevens sleepless as he
kept an eye ON his homicidal
guide, is one of the classics of
the conquest of the wilderness.
They found the pass, and their
return was another desperate
adventure. But soon the scream
of locomotives was crying down
the demons, who, presumably,
moved on.
When the Panama canal was pro-
jected, John F. Stevens fought
through, against weighty opposition,
the lock principle against the sea-
level plan. The engineer in charge,
from 1905 until he was succeeded
by General Goethals, he fiattened
all the demons of disease and dis
order which had licked De Lesseps.
General Goethals rated his work as
among the greatest of engineering
achievements. He was minister
plenipotentiary to the Soviets in
1877, remaining six years and re-
organizing and rebuilding their rail-
roads.
