CHAPTER TX

Whilst I changed, I gave Winter
his orders. These were, in short, to
pass the night on the landing,
watching the door which gave to
Elizabeth's suite.
eff anyone tries to enter, put your
torch on his face and hold him up.
The door may be opened for him;
but don't like Elsa's face, and he's
not to go in. When you've got him,
lift up your voice and shout my
name, and I'll be with you before
you know where you are. shall be
in the staircase-turret, closely
watching the other door of her Ia
dyship's rooms"
"And if you want me, sir?" said
Winter.
''Pn call her ladyship. She'll let
NE through her suite and on to the
stair. I don't think anything will
happen, and, but for Elsa, I'd tell
you to go to bed. But it's thanks to
me that she is inside that suite, so
it's up to me to see that she does
no harm"
And there I remembered Elgar,
the man for whom Virgil had called
when we had escaped from the tow
er. I had learned from Elizabeth
that he was Virgil's chauffeur and
was as much trusted by his master
as he was distrusted by everyone
else at Brief.
But when I mentioned his name
Hes away just now" said Win
ter, with Mr.. Virgil's car. There's
knock in the engine or something
they can't get right"
$50 much the BETTER" said I, and
spoke as thought.
And that, I think, shows how i'll
equipped I was to deal with a man
of Virgil's capacity, for I should at
once have suspected the absence
of his chauffeur and car. But am
ashamed to say that it did not oc-
cur to me that, if there is work of
a certain kind to be done, the lug
ger viii take an citing, instead of
staying in port. Be that as it may,
I read the danger-signal as being
piece of good news: then I took
up my pistol and torch, and we left
the tower.
To post Winter took but a mo-
ment; and then was treading the
steps down which I had knocked
the servant six days before. My
shoes were rubber-soled, and I
made no sound, but, as I have said
before, the well of the staircase was
Lit, and the first floor, to which I
was going, was very much better
illumined than was the landing
above. Still, there were shadows
enough about, and I carefully kept
to them.
As luck would have it, knew the
whole of my way. I was not going
down to the hall: I was bound for
the picture gallery, where we had
gathered that evening, before din
ner was served. This lay upon the
first fioor-a fine, long room, and
its range of windows was broken
into three bays by two of the stair
case-turrets with which the castle
WdS SC4NC0- Tie Sl VI lIlSSG,
I knew, was Elizabeth's own had
seen her come out of its door at a
quarter past eight.
Using the greatest caution, left
the magnificent staircase and stole
to the gallery's doors. Happily,
these were open, but here the dark
ness was thick, so I put to the
doors behind me and drew my
torch. And there my luck went out,
for the torch I found to be useless.
It was dead.
Now could, of course, have gone
back: but, since Winter needed his
torch, it meant going back or send
ing him back to my room: so I
made up my mind to go on, be-
cause, though should have liked it,

Clarifying the Issue

 quarter of a century after the late Pilsudski's famous Legion entered the war and won independence for Poland Marshal Smigly-Rydz inspector general of the army a member of the old Legion and one of modern Poand's most influential men warns Germany that his nation means to preserve it's liberty.
 The reminder comes at an opportune time. There are indications that agitation Danzg is on the increase The Nazi-controled Free City replies in a defiant to Polish note denouncing Danzig treat ment of Polish custom officers With mobilization of reservists going forward, Germany will have 2250000 under arms by the first week in September They will maneuver in Poland's neighborhood With both the French and British paraments on holiday, Berlin may think it d fitting moment for pressing her de- mands against Poland And the negotiations for de- fensive alliance with Russia look too promising despite the dispatch of Ango-French military mis- sion to Moscow.
 August is thus critical month in European power politics Those who speak of a breathing space in international affairs look below the surface The forces making clash of interests in eastern Europe are still at work. All European statesmen are aware of this Smigly Rydz certainly had it in mind when he told the crowo of 100000 Poles attending the Le zion anniversary at Cracow that, "our conduct as regards Danzg will be adjusted to the conduct of the other side"
 Unlike some of those of western Europe whc pretend not to understand the real question behind the issue labeled "Danzg," Polands leading soldier sees it clearly and states it thus
 Tn these days when we hear all the world the words peace and war-we declare that we re- spect peace just other nations do but there is no force that could convince that the word peace means take for some people and give for others"
 If the marshal has his way any attempt to settle the Polish differences by appeasement for the sake of peace will meet with much resistance an attempt settlement by force. His words not only warning to the Third Reich, but to those ele ments in western Europe which still would like to buy off Hitler at the cost of Polish integrity.

 Wilhelm Prick Nazi Minister of Interior, has given the world new insight into the meaning of "totali tartan war by his decree requiring registration of all Germans from five to 70 years old.
 It does not follow from this amazingly inclusive decree that children of five to be compelled to rive military service The alterations of Nazsm have not reached that point But the decree does show what totalitarian in time It means the complete regimentation of the population under system that will compel each person to serve in the capacity most useful to the state.
 Only five six millions of able-b bodied adult males not engaged in essential industries will bear arms. But the remainder of the population nevertheless will encounter discipline nearly strict They will be deprived of their liberty just conscrpt soldiers Their interests and preferences will be subordinated just sedulousy to the paramount interest of a- powerful state.
 In itself the decree does not tell much concerning he intentions of the Nazi regime with regard to It can be assumed Hitler will not take the appalling risks of precpitating if he achieve vic tories by intimidation.
 What the decree does indicate is that Germany 1914 Her army is larger her Qualifications better her strategy more cunning But in comparison with her probable enemies, the Reich today has not the reserves of industrial power she had in 1914. Germany will begin any in the future with serious shortages of most strategic commodities, with amazingly small gold reserve, with popula- ton weakened and discouraged by years of privaton just though had been going several years To compensate for this far efficient use of the civilian population is planned.

The death of J R. Hickman at Ketchikan removes one of the foremost of Alaskas empire builders from the scene scene which would not have been what it is without him.
 MT Heckman proved the soundness of investing talents and resources in local enterprise in Alaska, being responsible for much of the improvement which has made Ketchikan the modern city it is instead of just little fishing village which it might have been without the vision and effort which were his.
 Against the advice of his parents, MT. Hickman came to Alaska in 1886. The busy years that have passed since he first the Territory have vndicat ed that venture and established him of the most prominent figures in Alaska.
 Few men knew him as Jim MT. Heck man. They knew him rather as Bob, or as U. R." He has been characteristicaly friendly characteriscay aggressive characteristcaly successful Even today after nearly 55 years in Alaska Senator Hickman still was prominently identified with northern progress He was director of the Miners and Merchants bank since it's inception 1906 and it's president for Der of years He head of the J. R. Heckman and Company and associated with the Juneau and Ket- chkan holding concern that known the Hickman Darlington Company He was a director of the Ma tonal Bank of Commerce of Seattle.
 For 30 years he was superintendent of the Alaska Packers Association cannery in Lorng. He built and patented the first successful floating trap in the world and realized profits rom It through the ecKIna FISH Trap Company which dissolved in 1927 when the trap patent expired. Senator Heckman served one term the Territorial House of Representatives and two succeeding terms in the Territorial Senate, where he fathered Alaskas first act.
 Senator Heckmans story is not of luck. It is of hard work persistent work patient work. It is a story, too of great faith in the homeland That faith was exemplified in the J. R. Hickman and Com pany which he organized when Ketchikan struggling little community just at the turn of tht century-1900. His investment was only $10O00-anC since that day he not called upon to put another cent into the business although when its operation. reduced in 193O it had assets of more than $3o0 000

FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1889

Adverse planetary aspects rule today. although the sway is not strong. according to astrology. The configuration may be conducive to depression and apathy.
 It is an unfavorable date for starting anything important. Plans for business expansion would be better postponed, for ominous events will develop in the autumn.
 While the United States will en- joy short period of prosperity, in- ternational affairs will affect trade and commerce greatly through the remainder of the year.
 Women should conserve their re- sources. Those who are wage-earners should be careful not to offend the masculine powers. Sex discrimina- tion among trained persons in learned professions will favor men.
 Women will benefit today by trust ing to their own resources. Those who have definite talents should  rely upon practical development.
 This is a day to complete what has been well begun. Extremely metho- dical habits should be cultivated by both men and women.
 In the evening, criticism of men in nigh official positions is indicated, in the press and on the platform. Bitter differences of opinion will be expressed by statesmen whose ideas 0n national policies will clash fate fully.
 This is a date on which to avoid seeking favors, whether they be from member of the family or from person who occupies a position )f power and influence.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have he augury of year of prosperity, n which those employed will win promotion. Women should safe guard their health. Accidents also are to be carefully avoided.
