CHAPTER 30.

1t was a gay party at the officers
mess at the air field near Metz
later that morning. Bill Cameron
had exchanged his Nazi uniform for
one of horizon blue lent to him by
the commandant who was about his
size. Rene was resplendant in his
own uniform, although the effect
was somewhat spoiled by the fact
that one arm was in q black silk
sling.
The post doctor had examined his
wound, said it was healing nicely
and compimented Cameron and
Claire on the manner in which they
had treated it.
"A months rest, plenty of good
food, and Rene will be as good as
new" he said, cheerfully.
The commandments wife had
managed to make Claire fairly pre-
sentable in one of her gowns, and
although she was bit larger than
the American girl, some skillfully
placed pins had accomplished won-
ders in making the dress fit.
The three of them ate ravenously
their first good meal in days, and
afterWard, over cigarettes, Rene
insisted on recounting for the bene-
fit of the commandant and members
of his staff Bills exploit in stealing
the Nazi plane.
Start Back for Paris.
1t was nearly noon before they
could escape from their hosts. Then
staff car and driver were put at
their disposal to take them to Paris.
Rene considerably sat with the
chauffeur, leaving the back seat to
Claire and Bill.
First. I must get in touch with
Washington to report my where

about Claire" and then you and l

call on the mayor?" Claire asked,
smuggling closer to him.

but I will live on-under some new

Does Rene-Does Rene know?"
"Yes-he has been told. It almost
killed him to learn Of Maria s
treachery, but he is reconciled. He
knows 1t Is the only solution. He
is being sent to a hospital in the
south of France for a month or two
to recuperate from his wound-and,
II possible, his broken heart"
Poor Rene" Claire mourned. He
loves her so much"
But this is war, Mrs. Cameron"
Noel Yorke arose.
Thank goodness, Bill is taking
me away from it," The girl turned
to her husband with outstretched
arms.

betray 1t and the girl wondered
whether she realized the dangerous
game her husband was engaged in.
Maria seemed serenely self-pos-
sessed, although Claire thought she
detected worried expression about
her eyes.
Was Maria spy? Julie, too?
What a strange thing to stand up
here with two enemy agents look

ceremony that made her Mrs.

After a furry of congratulations
and good-bys, they hurried back
to the hotel to pack for the long
journey. Cameron, who had re-
covered his bags at the embassy
where they had been returned from
the st. Croix, volunteered to help
Claire.
IT have unpacked only one bag"
he said. well have to send most
of our things by boat as the bag

Yorke Appears Again.
The door of Claire's room was
ajar and she had a mor2eEtary feel
ing of panic as she was certain she
had locked it when she left. But
with her husband to give her cour-
age, she pushed the door boldly open
and walked in.
Noel Yorke arose from a chair,
smiling at them, and extended his
hand.
Congratulations, Claire, on every
thing" He turned to the man.
This is William Amherst Cameron,
shook his hand heartily. Thanks to
you, we're both here, happily married
and about to leave for home the
fastest possible way"
Congratulations, again, to both Of
you. You found Frau Weber-er-

pale from the shock of his words.

he said. with faint smile. II didn't
intend to frighten you. But it is true
that I will face firing squad to-

For answer, Claire put her lips

The car dropped Cameron at the
American Embassy to make full
report to the Ambassador, and then
at the ministry of war to let Rene
out. He, too, had a report to make
to his superiors.
A few minutes later Claire was
stepping to the sidewalk in front
Of her hotel and not long after that
was luxuriating in her own bath
and getting into her own clothes.
It was o'clock when Bill phoned

They turned out onto the Rue de
Rivon.
How does that sound to you,
darling?"
IF we weren't right out here in
the street with hundreds of people
looking on, I'd kiss you, Bill
Cameron" Claire answered.
Don't let that stop you. The
French people don't mind-they

Grace Moore Ill;
Washington Concert
Is Postponed
Soprano Is Stricken
Shortly Before Time
For Engagement Here

Four Washington radio stations
went into action simultaneously
around o'clock yesterday afternoon
in an effort to prevent the useless
trek of $500 concert fans TO Consti-
tuition Hall, when Grace Moore,
prima donna soprano of the Metro
politan Opera, was stricken with
grippe at her Mayf1ower Hotel suite
and was forced to postpone her 4
pm. concert performance and re-
turn to New York.
Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey, who
sponsors Miss Moore's Washington
recital appearances, announced that
the performance was postponed until
Thursday evening, March %, at $50
o'clock, after Miss Moore returns
from a concert tour of Florida and
Cuba. Tickets for yesterdays per-
formance, it was stated, will be
honored at that time without the
necessity of an exchange.
Miss Moore reached Washington
around 9 o'clock Saturday night and
went directly to her apartment at
the Mayf1ower for sound nights
sleep before her Sunday afternoon
concert appearance. F. G. Schang,
her New York manager, reached
Washington about noon yesterday
and to his CONSERVATION, found the
noted singer far from we'll and very
doubtful of her ability to sing at all
by afternoon.
Mr.. Schang at once telephoned
Mrs. Dorsey to advise her of the
situation and it was decided to wait
until 1:30 o'clock before calling off
the performance. BY that time,
however. Miss Moore's illness was
unmistakable and without further
ado Mr.. Schang packed her into a
taxicab and started for Union Sta
ton, believing she would recuperate
faster in her New York home than
in a Washington hotel.
Realizing that thousands of con-
certgoers would shortly be making
their way over icy streets toward
Constitution Hall unless the news
reached them at once, Mrs. Dorsey
requested all local radio stations to
advise their listeners of Miss Moore's
illness and the change in the con-
cert date to March %. Several sta
tions made the announcement twice
and in this way hundreds took
warning and remained at home.
But hundreds more were turned
away at Constitution Hall The
pupils of half a dozen large girls
schools in Washington and suburbs
were reached by telephone in time
to save them the trip to the audi
torium.

MONTGOMERY IN 80
UNUSUAL DRAMA

Earl Of Chicago" Will Be
Special Fe AZURE at
Capitol Theatre

Robert Montgomery. so often seen
on the screen as the wise-cracking
-abcut- town, has again proven
himself one of HollyWood's most
versatile actors with his dramatic
portrayal of a Chicago gangster
in "The Earl of Chicago" which
opens Sunday at the Capitol Thea
ire.
1t was no ordinary role selected
for Montgomery. The story is as
unusual and original as any yet
brought to The screen, with Mont
gcmery playing Silky Kilmount,
liquor racketeer, who becomes an
English Earl by Inheritance. Not as
heavy Characterization as the
psychcpathic murderer Montgomery
played in Night Must Fall" which
brought him nomination for the
Academy Award, it is an equally
fascinating characterization and the
star plays it to the hit.
I he situation in which Silky be-
comes a member Of England's dig
nified House of Lords is fundamen-
tally amusing, but there is deeper
significance to his trial before his
peers on a murder charge Silky,
king CT the Chicago underworld, dis
