Rundhia sensed that he had cast
his fly too boldly She wasn't hooked.
She needed more subtle persuasion.
He shouted to the servant to fetch
the guitar. There was no answer;
the servant had taken him too strict
ly at his word, he was out of ear

again. He swore under his breath.
Then he governed his anger and
smiled at Lynn:
''Will you wait here if go and

"What?"
"You look murderous. Don't whip

His undercover man was waiting
for him in the usual place, by the
gate In the wall that separated the
Maharajah's palace from Rundhia's

low voice without preliminary ges-
lures of respect:
''The priests have learned of Cap
tain Norwood's arrival. They sent
me to speak with his Eurasian spy,
O'Leary, who is a reptile. O'Leary
has already detected the opening of
the mine"
Rundhia thought swiftly, and
spoke slowly: $50 and tell the
priests that Captain Norwood is here
to line his own pocket Say he is
in debt and seeks an opportunity to
pay his debts. His secret report
will be In favor of the highest bid
der. But don't say you heard it
from me. Say O'Leary was drunk
and you heard it from him. Make
it perfectly clear to the priests that
any other officer than Norwood
would be scrupulously fair, so let
them think about it."
Then Rundhia found a servant In
the garden of his own palace and
sent him running to fetch the guitar

army mem there's a good
chance he can be destroyed.
Within two years the Carib-
bean, whose still, limpid
waters were once the home
of swashbuckling freebooters,
will be an American lake on which
a Keep OUT sign can be hung at
a moments notice.
All this defense preparation is not
guesswork. In the first place the
Panama canal, which this month
celebrates its twenty-ifth anniver-
sary, must be protected at all cost.
It is the lifeline through which our
Atlantic and Pacific fleets can shut
tie to protect whatever coastline is
in danger. It is the slender needles
eye through which world commerce
must pass if Europe is engulfed by
war. And if that happens, one of
the belligerents may try to destroy
it.
Vital Trade Link.
Most important, the tropical Car
ibbean houses some of the nation
most vital trade routes from South
America, providing most of the raw
materials in which there is a natural
domestic deficiency. For example,
we get manganese for steel fabrica-
ton from Cuban-American sources
on that island. Brazil also supplies
this material, meanwhile sending
rubber and coffee. Nitrates pass
through the Panama canal from the
west coast of South America and
fruits come from tropical Caribbean
islands.
Specific defense measures in the
Caribbean and the Canal Zone are
under way now as a result of spe-
cial congressional appropriations
just made available. At Panama,
American military planes already
have hangers at the Atlantic and
Pacific ends. Albrook field, on the
Pacific side, has received concrete
runway at cost of $500, 900 and a
new air depot is to be built with
81 SOC, 900 just appropriated. Two
more fields will also be built in
this vicinity.
Guard Three Passages.
As for Caribbean "gateways"
from the Atlantic, new defense
measures will amply take care of
the three principal passages shown
on the map. Windward passage will
be guarded by naval and air bases
at Guantanamo, Cuba, and from
newly acquired naval anchorages
across the straits in Haiti.
A marine air base at St. Thomas
in the Virgin islands takes care of
the Anegada passage with assist
ance available from Puerto Rico at
a moments notice.
The emphasis being placed on this
work by the United States is shown
by appointment of Adm. William D.
Leahy, former chief of naval opera
tons, as new governor of Puerto
Rice effective September 1.
q. S. Friendly With Neighbors.
Of special importance to Uncle
Sam is the friendship of islands
which form the ring around the new
American lake. Puerto Rico and
the Virgin islands-St. Thomas, St.
Croix and St. John-belong to the
United States. Cuba, Haiti and the
Dominican republic, which constitute

'HAIDA SCHOOL
CLASS MEETING
IS LAST NIGHT

Glass of hte navigation school con-
Quoted by the officers aboard the
United States Coast Guard cutter
Haida was held last night in the
High School auditorium with a large
number of students in attendance.
The subject covered at the meet
ing dealt with the topic of laws as
they concern fishing craft and small
boats.
This novel educational institution
which has been meeting weekly since
the early part Of last January has
attracted many boat men interest
ed in obtaining authoritative infor-
nation concerning the proper reg
ulations and conduction of their
craft.
Originated by officers aboard the
Government cutter Haida, the idea
has assumed sufficient dimensions
to become embodied in a Territorial
Legislature memorial for submission
TO Congress requesting that the
scheme be adopted permanently and
a regular officer be appointed for on
shore duty to conduct the classes.
This memorial has passed the House
of Representatives and is now before
the Territorial Senate.
Original teaching staff of the
school and the officers who have
taken the brunt of the work are
Lieut.. N s. Fulford, Lieut. Richard
Foutter, Ensign A. F. Wayne and
Ensign Glenn Rollins.

CAMERA STUDIES
OF SEARCH AREA
TO BE UTILIZED
Reward Committee Will
Decide Suffilienly Of
Evidence Soon

Photographs Of the missing plane
area, taken yesterday by Don Har-
wick from the Marine Always
plane piloted by Alex Holden, are
to be forwarded to the Sitka Naval
base for developing, according tc
Holden
About so exposures were made
using a Navy aerial camera bor-
rowed from the Navy squadron.
The pilot and his photographer
cruised the area for almost two
hours, capitalizing on the first alb
solutely clear weather since the
Lon Cope plane with five pasSen-
gers went down somewhere in the
vicinity of Grand Island over Is
days ago.
1t is hoped that the developed
pictures will furnish a real oppor-
tunity to study thoroughly the Sec
tor which to date has failed TO
produce any evidence of the miss
ing planes whereabouts.
A reward committee composed
of Alex Holden, Grover c. Wlnn,
and Allen Shattuck, appointed TO
determine disposal of the $1,000 to
be paid the discoverer of the lost
ship, have not definitely fixed the
sufficiency of evidence which will
decide payment of the award. Con-
census of the individual members
of the committee has it that a
common sense ruling will govern
the selection of proper claimants.
Parties going out on the search
are requested to register at the
City Hall when leaving and upon
their return to permit officials
to keep check
Two parties composed of Orville
Wheat, Peter Brown, Frank Mercer
and John Penttila, Oscar Koski,
and George Harju registered their
names as leaving on the search
three days ago but have not as
yet noted their return at the City
Hall.
Several halibut boat shippers are
entertaining the idea of dragging
the area with cables but have not
yet launched on the venture.

His eyes, after that glance, remained
fixed on her, even after she was down
from the saddle and standing by the

the first time whether he might not

"At the end of the third day a man
did find me, and he looked like one of
your bandits If anyone ever did. He
did what he could for me, gave me
food from his pack-bread and dried
ham and broccio, the goats cheese
that they make here-and then he
said he would go on to Ota and send
help for me-
He could have taken everything I
had, but he didn't. He was insulted
when I offered to pay him. I am a
Corsican,' he said, and I've never seen
anything so naughty in my life"
Then why is NJ. Duchemin SO

They're all frightened of Mas

"Masquerouge?" she said. who is
Masquerouge?"
THE great bandit. They're all scared
because there's a rumor that he's in
the district. You ought to be scared
too. They're all offended if you aren't

scared of Masquerouge . . He really
is great character, though.
Il remember once the French gov
eminent decided it was time that some
thing drastic was done about him.
They sent out half the French army
to round him up. 1t was the funniest
thing I ever heard of, but you have
to know the country to see the joke"
They didn't catch him?"
The Saint chuckled.
"One man who knew these noun
tains could laugh at all the armies in
Europe"
For a little while the girl was
wrapped in unapproachable solitude of
thought. Then she turned to the Saint
again.
Monsieur" she said do you think
you could help me find Masquerouge?'
They rode out on the dazzling stone
track that winds beside the Tavignano
than the marks that centuries of soli-
tary feet had left on the riot of tum-
bled boulders from which the hills rose
up.
The Saint lounged in the saddle. re-
Taxed like cowboy, letting his mount
pick its own way over the broken
rock. His mind went back to the Cafe
over coffee. after lunch. and he had
said to her: Either you must be
journalist looking for an unusual in
terview, or you want to be kidnapped
by Masquerouge for publicity, or you've
been reading too many romantic
stories and you think you could fall in
love with him."
She had only smiled in her quiet
way, inscrutable in spite of its friend
illness, and said: mo. monsieur-you
are wrong in all your guesses. am
looking for my husband"
The Saints brows slanted quiZzically
You mean you are Madame Mas
querouge?"
"Oh. no. I am Madame Baudier
Louise Baudier."
Then she looked at him quickly and
clearly, as if she had made up her
mind about something.
The last time I heard of my hus-
band, he was in Corte," she said. That
was two years ago. He wrote to me that
he was going into the mountains He
liked to do things like that, to climb
mountains and sleep under the stars

heard the name. that I had read of
Masquerouge in the newspapers about
that time. And it seemed to me, when
I heard you speak of Masquerouge,
that perhaps Masquerouge was the
answer"
IF it was Masquerouge." said the
Saint quietly, I don't think it would
help you to find him now
Her eyes were still an enigma.
Even So" she said, sit would be
something to know"
But you've waited two years"
Eyes" she said softly. Il have waited
two years"
She had told him no more than
that, and he had known that she did
not wish to say any more, but it had
been enough to send him off on that
quixotic wild-goose chase.
He had been leading the way for
two hours. but presently. where the
trail broadened for a short distance,
she brought her mule up beside his,
and they rode knee to knee.
