suggestion. Otto had a dictatorial
manner.
Gun took a cigaret, offered by
Trent, and light, and dropped
into a cane arm chair. Otto handed
him a whiskey Gun raised it to
his lips with a general:
We'll, good health"
But his eyes were on Coral. He
became aware that she was DELHI
erately posing for him - legs
crossed, body in a graceful atti-
tude. Ot'J was aware of it, and it
did not please him.
We'll, Mr.. Gunston," he asked,
harshly, have you had any sue
cess ?"
Gun laughed, with a suggestion
that he was not too comfortable.
I'm afraid not. AS a matter Of
fact, we rather overdid it, I'm
afraid. Instead of becoming talk
alive. as / had hoped. Hazeldeane
got just somnolent after the unac-
customed luxury, and went to
sleep. Better luck next time, may
be-"
All Il is unfortunate, but I'm
afraid there cannot be a next time,
Mr.. Gunston. Time is a factor, and
we cannot afford to waste IL. You
seem to have faileo, Mr.. Gunston"
Ottoy voice became suddenly very
menacing. He paused for a mo-
ment. and then went on:
do you know what we do here
with people who fail Us, Mr.. Gun
ston ?"
Guns smile and his voice were
lighter than his heart, at the mo-
ment, as he replied:
How many guesses may I
have ?"
1T is not necessary. l will tell
you. We--dispose of them"
He pulled a big. ugly looking
automatic from his pocket and
tapped it significantly.
Il see" said Gun, without be-
traying any particular emotion
But please don't anger me into an
indiscretion."
Otto was disappointed. He had
rather hoped to scare him. He put
the pistol away again.
But in this case you shall have
another chance. Mr. Gunston / will
put the cards on the table. You

the guests-you will be the hosts.
There will be a good dinner. and
over it we shall try to persuade
Mr.. Hazeldeane to talk. We shall
explain the good rewards If he
does-also the unpleasant penalties
if he does not. Then. after dinner,
Trent and myself will be called
suddenly and temporarily away.
Miss. Coral we shall leave behind
Then, when we have gone, YOU
will also try to persuade Mr.. Haz-
eldeane to talk. And, afte a little.
you will go away, and so Miss
Coral and your friend will be alone
together for a little while. We
think maybe that will work, Ell ?"
Possibly it will" Gun agreed.
1T certainly is an ingeniou idea"
Inwardly he was racking his
brains to see how this could be
turned to real account. in any way
Otto was watching him closely.
You are thinking, eh?"
Yes said Gun. hastily. Just a
little weakness Of mine" And then.
on the spur of the moment: Il was
thinking perhaps it would be bet
ter IT, after you have gone. we
three vent for a stroll in the gar
den, and l left them there. There
Is a little moon now. at about that
time-and much can be done in a
garden with little moonlight"
Otto laughed.
Good, good. You are quite right,
Mr.. Gunston. I can see that you
have brains-which is. perhaps. as
well. For l hope you understand
that II we do not get what we
want, IL will be the end Of YOU.
Quite the end"
"Oh. I understand Sort OF dog
eats dog business"
And so we need not be keeping
you longer. Tomorrow we shall
meet again"
Gun realized he was. being dis
missed. He realized also that Coral
had been watching him with a Gu
rious expression on her face all
through the interview. He decided
that there was something about
Miss Coral he did not understand.
Once again, at parting. she
pressed his hand and looked. for a
split second. right into his eyes.
She seemed to be trying to convey
some sort of a message. But what
IL could be he had no notion. He
was sure Of one thing only-that
this girl could not be trusted.

TENSION INCREASES

WASHINGTON, May 8 N -
Secretary Hull said today that Off
cial dispatches to the state depart
ment since yesterday indicated some
increase of tension in the Neither
lands over the fear of invasion from
Germany.
He added the department was still
able to maintain its communications
with the American minister at the
Hague, George A. Gordon.
Noting that Americans in Holland
have had long-standing advice to
leave because of the threat of war,
Hull told newsmen that now nobody
could have any excuse for being
caught there by any outbreak OF
hostilities.
In response to other questions
Hull said that Alexander c. Kirk,
American charge d'affiaires in Ber-
lin was coming home on leave but
that there was nothing unusual
about it. Kirk, he said, has been
1ojng strenuous work for some time
and consequently is taking a need

speaking for the Pennsylvania Cen
trail Airlines corporation, which has
already put in an application for

City and Charleston, said that his
company was willing TO take its
chances too. The latter also en-
phaslzed the need of a cooperative
organization to get anything done.
