CHAPTER NINE

LINDA FOUND Ronnie waiting
for her in the Iridium room. The
music was low and gentle, gay and
inobtrusive. People looked happy.
Mostly they were in two's. A man
and a girl, a man and a girl
Ronnie looked tired, but his eyes
lighted with swift JOY when she
came toward him
you're the only nice thing about
a devilish day." he said. Linda,
you're stunning!"
Then he forgot her clothes and
studied her eyes.
"Still love me, my Sweet?
She nodded. mo decrease at all.
Why?"
Enough to marry me tonigh;'
tomorrow, soon ?"
This was what. she had wanted
him to say, but now that she heard
the words she was afraid. Inere
was not the assurance anc strength
in Ronnie's voice that should De
there. Still he was tired. HIS
ewes were meeting hers honestly
and his face was serious. Yet she
was aware of some other influence.
She glanced down at the table
and noticed a small gold vanity
case. It contained the initials
as. M" Sarah Markley. So Sarah
had been here with Ronnie until q
few minutes ago. All Of the time
that she had waited for the tele-
phone to ring, he had been chatting
with Sarah. Maybe it wasn't his
fault, maybe it was. She didn't try
to reason it out. She said instead:
Sarah didn't give you much
time to call me, did she?"
The gray eyes twinkled and Rom
MES laughter was whole-hearted.
Finally she joined him in it But
she was here" she insisted. And
there sat waiting for ring, Ron
ME, if I were still ten I'd box your
ears"
He sobered and the weary look
came back. Wouldn't it be swell
to be ten again? Linda, how do
people get in such complications 2"
She waited while the waiter put
a tall lemonade in front of her.
She slipped it slowly. then said:
as that the matter, Ronnie?
He nodded ruefully. "Sarah's a
good kid, but she doesn't know
you can't grab off men like you do
bracelets or furs. Nobody ever
taught her. And why she should
decide to add my scalp is beyond
my limited reasoning. But she's
been proposing and, golly, 1 never
had to say mo- to a girl before"
But you said it," Her eyes
dancing with laughter. So it was
Sarah who was the pursuer. Life
was still a smooth road.
I'm every way know, but she's
giving me time. Linda. I always
intended sto marry you anyway,
when I got around to it, so let's
make it soon." His eyes lost their
ouizzical look. 81 love you, darling.

the world, trailing it across bright
stars and shining meadows. Voices
were a little lower as NouSh the
people in the room realized that
time was hurrying and they had SO
much to say.
Ronnie was asking her to marry
him Just as she had hoped he would
ever since she rode bicycle at his
side down the Virginia lanes, tall
ing off now and then because the
sandy-haired occupant of the other
wheel went so fast. But he was
using her as an escape from an
other girl. And maybe all of this
would retard his career, and he
would remember, years later, that
if he had been patient his name
could have stayed in bright lights.
Oh, this was idiotic. He had asked
her to marry him and Mr.. Markley
was keen enough Snowman not to
let his daughter influence him.
Still
Lets go riding in the park"
Ronnie was saying, pulling a bill
from his pocket and leaving it on
the table. The atmosphere here
isn't conducive to assent, is it,"
They found a hack. a horse
drawn, ct the square across from
the Plaza, and Ronnie told the
driver to go through the park for
an hour. There was no greenness in
the land. Trees held back arms
high and the ground was sodden.
But somewhere S troubadour
| played a song OF spring and the
music floated down the paths.
"Well?" Ronnie asked, and
kissed her.
Linda drew away. If he did that
again her heart would ccumble, her
head would fo:g,.S . nd out di-
rections, the years waiting would
be over. She loved him and he loved
her, orly-there was the Avery
pride. When Ronnie put Sarah in
her place. unmarried, love would
have q better chance to succeed.
Even now, though, she wondered at
her own hesitation. She was afraid
and didn't know why. Afraid for
herself, afraid for Ronnie whom
she adored.
Aloud she said, wouldn't it be
better to wait until you're more
secure professionally to marry ?
After all, I suppose it would be a
blow to Sarah's pride if you fiaunt-
ed another girl before her."
She waited. IF Ron1ie argued,

German-Americans
Told 10 Be More Active
AGAINST Nazi-ism
ssaw
TOO Many Indifferent
To Doneers, CopitoI
5AOraunizer Asserts

While not more than 10000 of the
approximately 100000 Americans
Of German descent can be considered
possible fifth column" participants.
too many of these citizens are in
different to the dangers of Hitlerism.
DR.. Frank Bohn, Washington author
and lecturer who plans to organize
a Nationwide group of German
Americans to combat Nazi influ-
ences, asserted today.
"German-Americans ought to be
In the forefront of the movement
to strengthen the defense forces of
the United States" he declared.
They should be more alive and
active against the menace of Hitler
ism than any other group. Too often
they tend to hide behind a pacifistic,
isolationist attitude. They should
be more keenly aware of their re-
sponsibilities as American citizens"
DR.. Bohn is chairman of the ma
tional Organization Committee of
the Roland German American Dem
ocratic Society, Inc, a group formed
recently to "Americanize and edu-
cate German-Americans who have
become citizens to make them
realize that they should be actively
loyal in their support of the Gov
ernment of the United States"
Son-in-law of Daniel c. Roper.
former Secretary of Commerce, DR..
Bohn said that he will leave Wash
ington Che lives at 1901 Wyoming
avenue N.WD in the next few days
on a lecture and organizing tour of
German-American population CEN
ters in the West and Midwest.
Having established a basic group in
New York City, DR.. Bohn's anti
Nazi society wants to extend its
work to Chicago, Los Angeles and
other localities where fifth column"
activities are most probable. About
half a dozen Washingtonians, he
said, attended a recent meeting of
the anti-Nazi society in New York,
at which resolution was adopted
condemning the invasions of Czecho-
slovakia, Poland, Denmark, Norway,
the Netherlands, Belgium and Lux
embourg.
DR.. Bohn said that Hitler's great
strength in Germany lies in his
"perversion and degradation of
those under Is years of age" A
majority of those over Is are opposed
to Hitler, he added.
