There are storms and disasters. But
how few they are compared with the

He took a seat in the window,
screened from the gaze of anyone
outside by the wire blind, but quite
able to see anyone who came out
Of the baths.
He hoped Prescott wouldn't de-
lay-the man Pullinger might
emerge at any moment.
AS the waiter brought the two
small cups of dark, steaming Ii
quid, the door opened, and Pres
colt entered. He was a man of me-
dunn height, but looked, for some
reason, smaller. and slighter than
he really was. He had pale blue
eyes set in an almost dead white
face, and invariably wore sober
and respectable black, with we'll
brushed bowler hat. There was a
suggestion of the undertaken
about him, which possibly account
ed for his nickname.
"Sit down, Coffin" said Gun,
quickly. I'VE won't have much
time. The fellow I want you to
trail is suspect-no more. than
that-and I don't even know ex-
actly what I suspect him of. But
I want you to stick to him like a
limpet, see whe:e he goes and
what he does and, if possible, what
he says. In fact, I want you to find
out all you can about him."

Coffin Prescott leaned forward
to get a better view, and Gun
noticed with amusement that the
nostrils of his thin, sharp nose
were dilating, like those of
hound shifting the first faint scent.
Pullinger, on the other side of
the road, turned and commenced
to walk away, without hurry.
"Off you 60" said Gun to Pres.
colt.
Fright you are. See you later,
Mr.. Cotton"
Prescott rose, walked briskly to
the door, and then, as he made his
exit, dropped his pace to an appar-
emily careless saunter.

Gun picked up the telephone re-
ceiver and asked for the number in
q low voice.
"Hullo! Is Mr.. Prescott in the
club?"
II think so, sir. He came in a few
minutes ago. But I'll make certain
if you'll hold on a moment. What
name shall I say, please?"
"Mr. Cotton"
"Er-yes, sir. Mr.. Cotton! Hold
on, please"
A delay. Faint noises came to
him over the phone. Two men talk
ing indistinguishably. A page call
ing, monotonously: "Mr. Digby-
Jones, please. Mr.. Digby-Jones,
please" until his voice died
into the distance. The mufled rat
ting of typewriter.
Gun fidgeted, and wondered who
he could get if Prescott wasn't
there. Minutes were precious, too.
A voice in his ear, loud and sud-
den.
I'm sorry, but your time is up.
Do you want another call?"
Eyes! Don't cut me off,
"Please put another twopence in

Pause again-and then the voice
of Prescott:

"Cotton speaking. That Pres

"Only having a drink"
IT could do with one myself, and
I'm sorry to disturb you, but the
fact is I've got a man here 1 want
trailed, and don't want to do it
myself at the moment. You're
about the best man for that game.
Can you come AROUND here at
once?"
Surely. Where are you' Mr..
Cotton?"
Gun explained.
"There's a very convenient res
taurant opposite, with a view from
the window. Can you meet me
there right away"
"Ill be there in five minutes, Mr..
Cotton!'
Gun rang off and heaved a sigh
of re1iaf "C,offin" Prescott was an
able man at his particular work.
He'd stick to the tail of Mr.. Pull
niger all right!

CHAPTER SEVEN

GUN WATCHED Pullinger and
the red-head. They strolled around
at an even pace, and absorbed in
conversation. Apparently they had
quite lot to say to each other.
Gun rested his elbows on the
sand and supported his head on his
hands-which concealed his face
quite well.
AS the pair drew nearer he
strained his ears to catch a word
or two of what they were saying.
But they spoke in low tones, and
all Gun could hear was that the girl
had a very soft and tuneful voice
an asset in any woman! But not an
asset to Gun at that moment!
Then, just as he was despairing,
she raised her voice, very slightly,
but enough for Gun to clearly catch
two or three words. She said:
ooh, I guess Emil will deal with
anyone like that"
Emil! That was the haWk-nosed
assistant manager, presumably
and she might well have been re-
ferring to undesirables who got
into the baths. Or she might not.
Just as Gun was changing his
position once more, Daphne reap
peared. She had re-made her face.
and was smiling once more. She
came straight across to Gun.
"I had to come out here to dry
off," she announced. Besides, I
don't see why I should let you spoil
everything."e
She sat down beside him, and
then gave the real reason for her
temperance.
II say, what did you mean by all
that rot about you not being late ?"
THE truth of the matter is that
1 was stung by you calling me Me-
thuselah," said Gun. Every man
wants to seem young to a beautiful
girl, you know"
Daphne smiled. This was the sort
Of thing she understood, and liked.
Sorry I got cross" she apollo
gized. There's something terribly
nice about you"
Pullinger and the red-headed girl
had parted, and each were disap-
pearing 6, through their separate
doorWays.
"Well, that's fine" said Gun. He
rose hastily. Il must go and do
something about it. Cheerio"
And he left her sitting there, still
beWildered.
In the coffee room Gun saw Pull
linger again. He was standing in a
far corner, in close converse with
Emil, the Egyptian.
AS Gun came into the room they
both looked around at him, and
Gun could read suspicion on the
dark face, and a sort of amused
contempt on the fairer one. For
some reason that annoyed him. He
did notemind the Egyptians sus-
picion, out he did not at all like
the look of Pullinger, and he re-
sented the suggested contempt.
He had entered the room hur-
riedly, and he hurried across it.
Found his way to his cubicle, and
contemplated the telephone. The
idea in his mind was that he would
get someone to shadow Pullinger,
while he went and had word with
x about it. He had feeling x
would be interested.
Gun decided that he couldn't be
in two places at once. A confound-
ed nuisance that Charles CaZelton
was away-who the devil could be
get hold of?o
He ran over some names in his
mind, and came to Prescott's. Pres
colt would be the man-if he was
in town. Gun knew his club, where
he was usually to be found at this

NURSERY SCHOOL PLANS

The Council met in special session Tuesday, Sep
TENDER 10 to consider the nursery school problem and
70 hear the comments of Miss Alice Nendham Green
Acres School, Bethesda. Mayor Warner,
Taylor and Councilman Kicker present.
The possibility of the Councils entirely sup
porting a nursery school virtually abandoned
the baa s that it would not benefit the Town
whole, though it pointed out that 1t WOULD
doubtedly prove to be a general benefit and that,
for that tier, the general benefits of other
supported activities although
the activities themselves granted valuable.
Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Kicker felt, too, that the
Council could not rari ally support such pro-
ect requi ring that the parents share the expenses
it suggested that the parents whose chi ldren
benefited directly from nursery school training
would be proud and glad to have hand in its
establishment.
The function of the nursery school discussed
influence in the social development of the
pre- school children and Miss Eendham stat ed that
though few famili took advantage Of such an
opportunity, the children who did attend puld tend
to become leaders in their play groups and their

DEFENSES STEPS
PUSHED BY TURKS
National Assembly Called To
Consider Demands Reds
Are Expected To Made

1STANBUL, July 10. Up - Mill
tary preparations were speeded in
Turkey tonight following q call by
the government for an emergency
session Of the national assembly Fri
day to consider demands Russia is
expected to make on Turkey.
Although officials denied receiving
any ultimatum, all quarters believed
a Soviet note would come within a
few days, making known Josef Stall
ms desires as regards Turkey-pos-
sibly asking a share in control of
the strategic Dardanelles.
Reports that Bulgaria might order
general mobilization Thursday added
to the tension. 1t was believed such
a step by the Bulgarains would be
followed Immediately by military and
civil mobilization in Turkey, which
already has 800, 900 men under arms,
and vast concentrations on the Bull
garian frontier.
The reported presence OF Russian
warships off the Bulgarian port of
Varna was regarded as a Soviet
threat to bring the B%ulgarians into
line with Russian demands, rather
than as a direct menace to Turkey.
