She wanted to tell him. ir a sudden
burst of fury. Then the anger as
quickly spent itself. Ronnie didn't
want this thing to happen to him!
He loved her, Linda Avery, with
whom he had grown up. But Sarah
was weaving such subtle chains
that he could not disentangle him

the role that Sarah had been play
ing. She had been the martyr. sac
rificing herself, giving up. asking
Linda to come wherever Ronnie
was. And Ronnie, showing that
Sarah cared. must think her sweet,
umselfish. kind. How d he
know she was a plaster saint?
Men were so unseeing. The surface
view. if it were beautiful enough,
enchanted them and they accepted
the girl as she seemed.
In that moment Linda knew a
fierce protection for Ronnie. She
wanted to put her arms around
him and hold him against all hurt
and all temptation. against Sarah.

turity that could bring such heart

You like being with me,

"Oh. my dearest, more than any,

ness" His voice was strangled
and low.
Linda let Robert lead her back
to the inside of the boat. The deck
rocked and she did not know if it
was because the floor Of the water
was unsteady or because her world
was going to pieces.
1T isn't Ronnie's fault" she
murmured, throwing her h e a d

eyebrows, gave her a singing, up

LINDA AVERY, receptionist at a

to rebuild her romance with

SARAH MARLEY, wealthy CLAM

ROBERT BARTON, young ensi-

Linda. He introduces her to
TERRY ADAMS. publicity man,
and Terry's sweetheart,
CAROLINE PICKARD, who h a S

is complicated by
NINA NEVINS, a famous actress,
who is determined to marry Rob-

YESTERDAY: After a search OF
Linda's cabin, the rest OF the

Nc n was around. They began
to walk and Linda strained her
eyes for a tall figure lounsing at
the rail, the familiar pipe he liked

the quiet air. 1881.
In this moment she wanted hlm
more than she had since she mao
left the southern town. She wanted
to lean against him, TO ask MN 70

A cloud that had hidden the
moon broke and the full white light
came through. a thousand stars
tagging its brilliance.
They made a turn and started to

was looking at the moon. She felt
Roberts hand on her arm.
Come on. Linda. Let's go back,
No sense looking this way. He's
probably listening to the captain

Linda down the way that they had
Just come, but her eyes. in that
moment, saw what Rob already
had seen.
Two figures stood close together
near a lifeboat, so close that it was
not possible to tell where one end
ed and the other began. One was q
man and one was a girl. and the
girls hair was golden.
The mans head was bright, too,
and it was stopped as his lips met
the girls.
Then Sarah's voice, part whis-
per. part chant, came clearly on
the air. oh, Ronnie, my darling.
why does life have to do this to
US? Why" Her voice broke. You
do love me. l know you DO"
Come on" Rob prompted gent

was a dream, a nightmare, she
was thinking. Presently she would
awaken in the blue satin bed down
stairs and feel the wind whipping
the curtains and the early break
fast gong would be Ginning in her
ears.
Then Ronald's voice came, a
hurt, young voice. trying to reason
its way to solid ground. L don't
know what this is, Sarah. It's got
me, too. But it can't be love. l love
Linda. Why, l always have!"

CHAPTER

Robert opened his door immedl-
ately at the sound of Linda's knock
ing. He had not locked it, but had
LETT it ajar for the sake of the cur
rent of air that swept down the
passageway. He had removed his
white dinner jacket and his dark,
rough hair a rumpled.
Hello" he said, half whistling.
"You look as though you've seen a
double ghost"
Il have" She drew him by one
arm across the companionway.
Within her room, she pointed to the
carpet. Look"
An emerald, green fire flashing,
protruded from the edge Of the rug.
Robert picked it up and examined
the ring which contained it. Mina's
initials were engraved on it.
so your bunch was right. She
did plant the trinket and the
searching party couldn't find It.
Left hel in a spot, didn't it? She
couldn't speak up and tell them
where to look. Want ne to hold the
ring and tell her it's safe-or hand
it over to the detective?"
Suppose We tell Ronald" Linda
suggested. She had been tired, but
now all trace of sleep was gone.
She felt alive, vibrant, eager, ready
for any conflict.
'Okay, but you'd better let me
escort you around the ship. I place
no faith in that stage-acting lady!
Wait until I get my coat. Better
get a wrap"
When he rejoined Linda he
paused a moment before starting
toward the other cabinway and the
lounge. It's none of my business,
and maybe you'll tell me so, but

Questionnaires Come
Only After Lottery
Fixes Order Of Names
Deferment Decisions
Then Will Be Made
After Answers Are In

While registration today for Sc
lective service does not put any man
in the Army. it begins the process
that will mean for several millions
10 to IS years of obligation for mill
tary service.
If a man is called for training
which may be any time within the
next five years-that will be years
active duty. After that he will be
member of the Reserves for 10 years,
or until he is As. During the Re-
serve period he may be called on
at any time for active service. In
case of war, all Reserves would be
modified.
The registration cards filled out
today will be sent by each regis
tration board to the nearest local
draft board.
The first official act of the local
draft board will be to shuffle the
cards, so that they do not run in
the order received from the regis
trars. The cards then will be num-
bered, beginning with l and run
ming as high as necessary.
Numbers to Be Posted.
The board then will post these Sc
rial numbers, with the name of each
registrant beside his number. Those
who register thus may obtain their
serial numbers by looking over the
posted lists.
The next step in the selective Serv-
| ice process is for the Governor of
each State-here the Commission
ers-to send the director of selec-
| tive service the highest number as
signed by any local board in his area.
Thus the director will have the
highest number placed on card
anywhere IN the country. He then
will be ready to hold the national
lottery. which will take place some
where in Washington, probably
within the next two weeks.
At the lottery a capsule containing
every number from l to the high
est-which may be. say, 4,250-wlll
be placed in a bowl. The numbers
will be drawn. one at time, by
/ blindfolded officials. The order in
which the numbers are drawn will
determine the order in which regis
! trants will be examined for possible
military service.
Questionnaires Follow Numbers.
AS soon as a draft board receives
the order of serial numbers, it will
begin sending out the questlonnaires
which will supply the information
on which classification will be based.
QUESTIONABLE will be sent out
gradually, a comparatively few at
a time, as men are called for by the
Army and in compliance with the
only after the questionnaireS are
gone over and graded and possibly
the affected men questioned in per-
son that the board will decide
! whether men are to be called for
immediate service or placed in one
of the deferred classes. Only those
whose numbers are drawn fairly
early in the lottery are likely to be
/ lassified any time soon.
Close to 100000 of today's regis
/ trants are expected to serve their
year of active duty within the life
of the Selective Service Act, which
is until May IS, 1945
Not more than 100000 selected
men may be trained at one time
the law provides, but this number
is exclusive of those who belong TO
the regular forces and National
/ Guardsmen, in Federal service.

cialist candidate for Governor, wore
black armband protesting con-
scription when he appeared, none
theless, to comply with the law
which required it.
Efforts to keep the registration
from interfering will normal ac-
tivities produced some unusual ar
rangements In Nebraska, the
football squad of the University of
Idaho, enroute East to play Boston
College, was registered on the train
by Coach Ted Banks.
In a Bayonne, N. J., election dis
trict a school band blared through
the streets at m, to rouse out all
eligibles for early registration. For
the first two nours then, registra-
ton quarters were sWamped with
applicants.
In New Mexico the Mescalero
braves signed up 100 per cent, in
Guiding 76 Apaches, six Comanches
and IL members of other tribes.
Almost every city hac its notables
at the registrars tables. Perhaps
Hollywood produced more we'll
known names as many of the men
whose names are advertised from
Broadway to Main street came
within the age limit
A downtown translent registration
station in Cleveland had more than
its share of sports figures. Bob Fell
ler, the Cleveland Indians hurler,
away from his Van Meter 1oWO
home on a duck hunting trip, regis
! tered there So did the football
squad of St. MaTy's College, San An
tonic, Tex.
In Omaha, the Fl,Gt Central Con-
gregational Church declined to per-
nit use of its facilities for registra-
ton. Oficials used a hotel across
the street.
AS registration got under way IN
every American community, urban
and rural, congested and lonely, Off
cials emphasized that every man
between the ages of 81 and SO must
| register
This duty, under an opinion by
Attorney General Jackson on the
eve of registration dayy extends 10
every alien in the country, except
| diplomatic and consular representa-
tives, their families and employees.
Even aliens in the country tempo
rarily must register, under the At
torney Generals Interpretation of
| the selective service law. And sea-
men on ships docked at United
States ports are included.
Rowing Registrants.
The Nationwide process of regis
tering a sizable portion of the pop
ulation in a single day reached into
the hospitals, in which rowing regis
trants took down the required in
formation from patients. There was
provision, however, for those too i'll
to be disturbed, whether at home
or in hospitals, to be registered
later, with the facts to be reported
to the local draft boards which will
oegin functioning tomorrow.
Those traveling-on trains, planes
or buseS-Were expected to register
if physically possible. But there
were no registrars atLard these car
riers, and men unable to find a long
enough stop to register during the
| day may register tomorrow or later

District Re-enacts
June 5, 1917, With
Only Few Differences
Washington Was First
City in U. S. to Complete
Registration Returns

Hundreds of men-"the flower of
the city's young manhood"
waiting in line when the registration
centers opened.
Whistles, bells and horns screamed
a blood-tingling salute, usherinP in
what the President of the United
States declared is destined to be
remembered as one of the most con-
spicuous moments in our history"
That was in 1917 Change a few
words, eliminate the wistles and
bells and the history that was writ
ten on June 5. 1917, becomes the
news story of today.
The story was much the same as
today's, and yet different. The Ma
ton was at war. Today it is at
peace They talked about what
they'd do to the Kaiser Today they
were hoping there'd be no war for
this country.
A Fed More Trimmings Then.
The registration machinery in
1917 was on the same order as to-
days. Schools served as regiStra-
ton centers and teachers as regis
trars, and high school cadets as
uSherS.
But there were a few trimmings
then that were missing today. The
city's citizens associations enlivened
conditions outside the registration
buildings by presenting badges,
books, cigars and other teStamentS
to the registrants, and bands gave
informal concerts throughout the
day.
The regiStrarS-there were only
about 800 of them in contrast to
the 7,000-odd employed today-set
fast pace, enrolling men on an
average of one every five or six min
utes.
Gray-clad veterans of the Civil
War visited the precincts and ex-
tended words of encouragement to
the young men who came to reg
lster for possible war service.
Ceremony at Monument.
The day also was featured by
late afternoon ceremony at the
Washington Monument Grounds.
where the Secretaries of War and
the Navy and congressional leaders
gave patriotic addresses and $500
schoolchildren sang patriotic songs,
and the Marine Band played ma
tional airs.
Then, in the evening, in many
schoolhouseS and public parks, citi-
ZenS associations and other groups
staged patriotic rallies.
The SmoothneSs of the regiStra-
ton machinery encouraged District
officials to hope that Washington
would be the first city to make COM
plete returns of the registration to
the War Department.
1t Was, Too.
That hope was realized-giving
today's selective service officials a
mark to shoot at A corps of work.
ers labored all night, after the reg
istration centers had been closed,
and at l1:30 am, June 6, the Dis
trict's completed list was sent to
the War Department. 1t was the
first city under the wire.
The age limits were different in
1917 The first registration called
for men between 81 and 80 years of
age. The total registered in WASH
ington was 32,327, only about one
third of the total expected today.
