AUDREY REYNOLDS was saunterlng down
A the main street of Medville on an
- - afternoon in the early fall. She was
not confined, however by any narrow bounds
of time or space. AS she stepped down from
the curb. her lips parted in slight smile - to
acknowledge the acclaim of last nights au-
dence in the Medville High Auditorium.
Again Audrey was savoring her triumph as the
star of Beg or Borro,o. a comedy in three
acts put on by the dramatic club of the high
school,
There was not single flaw to mar the
memory of the evening. After the final cur
tain CALL Gene Walton had come backstage to
pay her ungrudging tribute - and praise from
Gene was sweeter than praise from any one
else.
"You we're SWELL" he had told her fer
venty. Gosh, but you were SWELL,
1t wasn't what he had said - it was the
way he had said it. And then, of course, he
had taken her home -.
Audrey drew long breath and returned,
reluctantly, to the immediate moment She
sauntered into Siebert's Department Store,
tended to her purchases, and sauntered back
into the street again - only to pause, all but
paralyzed, as a TALL well-groomed stranger
swept off his hat and smiled down upon her.
Miss Reynolds" he said.
Audrey hesitated. well" she admitted,
I'm Audrey Reynolds.
Yes - the leading lady in that delightful
play last night"
Audrey stared at him.
why, you mean at the high SCHOOL,"
The stranger nodded, and begged Audrey's
permission to introduce himself. She looked
at the name engraved on the card he held out
to her. He was Mr. H. Crawford Erans.
Now" he went on smoothly, there's
little matter of business I'd like to discuss
with you, Miss Reynolds. l wonder i per-
haps we might step into the Plaza for cup
of tea?"
Now here was a situation without prece-
dent If Mr. H. Crawford Evans had been ten
or twenty years younger - and IT ne.
stranger, had asked her to have an ice-cream
soda at Wilkes Drug Store - she would have
dismissed the proposal at once. But Mr..
Evans, being about forty, could not be con-
sidered as boy exactly. Then there was that
engraved card She found herself being led
across the street and into the Plaza S imposing
Tudor dining room.
Mr.. Evans summoned the waiter with a
casual jerk of his chin - and, after consulting
his flustered guest. he ordered black tea.
watercress sandwiches and betits tours. Audrey
was impressed She was accustomed to Gene
Walton's less formal method of conducting
these matters - usually rauoous shout for
ham-on-rye, with needless injunction to
make it snappy.
'Ill get to the point at once said Mr..
Evans You see it s this way, Miss Reynolds.

in the world, really - to pick up that per-
formance of yours last night. And what a
performance it was my dear"'
But -"
'Well now, III tell you, Miss Reynolds -

He paused, to permit Audrey word or two
of rapture if she so desired. But Audrey was
beyond rapture - beyond comprehension it

Ellen Reynolds smiled. interpreting this
cryptic comment Audrey might have known
that she wouldn't find sympathy or oompre
hension or even vestige of intelligence within
the narrow confines of her own home.
"Well why don't we talk it over" she
inquired mildly. The thing that bothers me,

You don't seem to realize - you don't even

happen Mr. Evans said himself - it doesn't
happen to more n one person in million and
should think when a thing like this happens

She paused, choking - but waved a hand
to command silence. After all, she said
there wouldn't be any reason in the world for
Mr.. Evans to say thing like that unless he

The vast audience roared its

Field Marshal Goering.

president and then Minister Of

took the rostrum and announced
briefly that the Nazi four-year
plan of industrial self-sufficiency
would be extended until 1943.
Hitler made it clear that he
would brook no opposition to his
program within Germany, declar-
ing:
Those Of our citizens who
have not a sympathy for ma
tional socialism are either not
mentally all theree' or else they
are definitely not tit to parti-
clpate in the state.
''The only thing which is
really important is to keep the
people from being ignorant Of
what their government is doing
and we are constantly educat-
ing our people to what we are
doing.
Rigid Discipline
'"The thing necessary for the
army-discipline of the most
rigid SORTS also necessary in
the social life of a nation.
"Our main goal is not only to
bother with economics, as in for
mer days, but to reach into the
lives Of the people themselves"
AS in all his previous addresses
to the Reichstag. the Fuehrer lost
no opportunity to attack Bolshe-
vism as the greatest menace in
the world.
Had Germany gone Bolshe-
visit" he said, 1T would have
thrown the entire Occident into
a crisis unimaginable in scope"
Only narrow minded and in
sular people could imagine that
the Red pestilence would have
faltered before the 'SacredneSS'

blazoned on the borders of dis
interested states.
