Council and the National Advisory
Commission for Aeronautics was
outlined by DR.. Vannevar Bush,
president of the Carnegie Institu-
ton of Washington. before the
monthly luncheon of the Tufts Col
lege Alumni Club at the Army and
Navy Club yesterday.
DR.. Bush, who is chairman of the
Commission for Aeronautics, said

its formation during the World War
is one of the reasons this country
is not behind any other in aero
nautical development"
Among the activities of the Re-
search Council, he said, are the
drawing up of a roster Of scientific
personnel to cooperate with the
armed forces in developing new
weapons, the studying of qualifica-
tions of men for flight training and
the gathering of medical research

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

ROBERT opened his door imme-
diately at the sound of Linda's
knocking. He had not locked it, but
had left it ajar for the sake of the
current of air that swept down the
passageway. He had removed his
white dinner jacket and his dark,
rough hair was 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.
80 your bunch was right. She
did plant the trinket and the
searching party couldn't find it.
Left her in a spot, didn't it? She
couldn't speak up and tell them
where to look. Want me 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 wrap"
When he rejoined Linda he
paused a moment before starting
toward the other cabinway and the
lounge. Its none of my business
and maybe you'll tell me so, but
I'm repeating I hope you marry
Ronald soon. Mina's a devilisf
enemy, and now that she's fastened
on you she's not going to let up
until she's made you the butt OF
her acid wit. Though why she
wants me is one Of the seven won
ders." His lean face flushed a little
under it's smooth tan. "Unless-l
might as we'll say it-she'd like
some of the money Uncle Pete left
He didn't die poor and I was the
heir. But that's nonsense. Come on
let's find Ronald"
Ronald did not answer the
knock at his cabin door. After g
little while Robert tried the handle
The cabin was deserted. A pair Of
bahamas was laid out on the bed
