had returned, very much the wors

American, who's head was
swathed in bandages, so that 1t
was a wonder he had been able to
fly the plane all that way.
And they had brought with them
bad news, The island destroyed by
fire. M'sieur Otton> and most of the
staff killed. All their plans upset,
too, Just when they were on the
point of coming to fruition. 1t was
of the most terrible, was it not?
In the very secret offices the
telephones and the private radio
we're working all out. Messages
were flashing backward and for
ward from London. Berlin, New
York and Rome. Safely, who was
in charge of the air station, was
seeing to all that, while Captain
Trent and the girl rested.
But in the evening there was a
brief consultation.
well I guess its all settled, so
far, Safely announced. .There'll
be a meeting at TIL English place
at Chenham, yor know, on the
east coast-in four days tim e.
That's Friday. They'll all be there
Stein, Bronson, Gruchere and
Macholesta, as well as Watson,
Brown, and one or two of the other

your report, and it can be decided
whats best to be done. I reckon
you'll get the command, now that

"Maybe-maybe not. I guess its
up to them.
It was noticeable that Captain
Trent spoke thickly and indistinct-
ly through his bandages.
And what will you do, Cap
stay on here until the meeting?
But Captain Trent shook his head.
Il guess not. There'll be things

mer place, and then only for a few
minutes, after nightfall, and in his
flving kit. That was the occasion
when he had come to kidnap Gun
and Hazeldeane, and had restocked
with gasoline there.
Gun spent some time on a brief
but concise report to X. which he
wrote in code and handed to Tom
my for immediate delivery. A Brit
ish plane was already waiting for
Tommy. and he went off straight
away.
AS they waved farewell, Gun,
who was we'll aware of the risks he
was about to take, wondered
vaguely whether he would ever see
him again. To escape from the va
ried perils of the island, and to i'm
mediately afterward be murdered
in comparative civilization was, he
knew, one of the tricks Fate was
so fond of playing on the adven-
turous and the daring.
He then explained the risks at
some length to Coral, who replied:
"Oh, Gun, if I weren't prepared
to take risks l shouldn't be in this
game at all. Now go ahead with
the great scheme"
Well" said Gun, 1.-The important
thing is that we should rake in all
this gang-the big 'uns as well as
the little 'uns-in one big sweep.
And this is how I propose to do it."
Guns next step, after he had
outlined his plan to Coral, was to
interview a French medico, who,
having been taken into his conf
dence to a certain extent-i.e., as
little as possible-kindly consented
to bandage his face and head in a
very scientific manner, SO that,
when he had finished, only the
eyes, the tip of the nose, and a
hole adjacent to the mouth showed
that the white bundle contained a
human face at all.
At the private air station near
Cannes, which was the property OF

Just one or two fresh, new dresses
will do wonders toward perking Up
your daughters interest in school,
when she's mighty weary of all her
clothes, and they're beginning to
show wear. This is a good time to
start sewing for her, too, because
right now you can get the pick of
new cottons in charming prints and
spring colors. The three little ladies
in the picture show you trio of
unusually attractive designs for
schoolgirls of their respective ages.
Every little frock is just as simple,
as becoming and dainty AS you
want your daughters clothes to be
and they're young as the giggles.
They're all easy to make-a step-by-
step sew chart accompanies each
one.
Little Miss 6-to-14 has very spe-
cial requirements in the way Of a
becoming frock fashion. Her clothes
can't look babyish, or she'll be in
suited; they can't look grown-up,
or you won't like it. But they can
strike the happiest medium-as
does this frock with sleeveless DO
lero Q796-B). And since girls in
this size range are usually shoot
ing up so fast that they're too thin
for their height the high neckline
that covers up the collarbones ano
is finished with a little round
collar, is particularly becoming. So
are the bolero, the faring skirt ano
the wide shoulders, all of which tend
Evening star., 1940-01-28

to emphasize width rather than
height. The waistline is cut to a
point in the front and drawn in
with a sash bow at the back. This
will look so pretty in gingham,
linen or percale that you'll want
to make it up in party materials,
too.
Nothing in the world looks more
charming on a growing girl than
f1uttering, flirty pleated skirt that
swings with her quick movements.
And pleats are just as smart for the
youngsters as they are for grown
ups. The skirt of Pattern No. 1884,
B is made with inverted pleats all
round, and set on at a pointed
waistline that keeps the up-and-
down effect from being too severe.
The simple bodice is finished with
classically tailored collar, and

BALTIMORE. May 81 - The
Maryland State and District of
Columbia Federation Of Labor
opened its thirty-fifth annual
convention at Hagerstown on
Monday OF this week.
Talk among Convention dele
gates prior to the opening session
revealed that strong OPPOSITION to
the reelection OF the incumbent
President Joseph p. Mccurdy was
expected. particularly from the
building trades unions. Early re-
ports indicated that Harry Cohen
Of the Transfers g. Chauifeurs
would be the most threatening
contender for the crown.
Mccurdy's stock went down con-
siderably during the recent Demo-
cratic primary elections when he
proved unable to deliver the AFL
labor vote to Howard Bruce
whom Mccurdy had endorsed. but
who received almost solid OPPOSE
ton from the rank and file and
smaller leaders.
Western Maryland delegates
were particularly incensed at Nc
Curdy'S action and the Allegany
Trades Council endorsed Senator
Radcliffe for reelection.
However. many ola timers in
the movement do not discount
the potency OF the McCurdy ma
chine and the ruthlessness OF Its
steamroller tactics. As one dele
gate remarked Joe probably cam
not deliver so labor votes in the
entire State. but he can hold OF

Rumor has it. though. that
