rubber stamp on the passport photograph.
The real Herr Steuben is in an English in

Denmark if you've got your reports ready.
IEY have been ready for two day"
Celdart heaved himself from his chair and
shuffled across the room. He returned with
long thin envelope, which Raeburn slipped
into an inner pocket. Then they spoke rapidly
for nearly ten minutes, Geldat nodding as
Raebun emphasized the points on which
fresh information was required.
The usual sum is being paid into your
account at the Swiss bank in Copenhagen,
Herr Geldart. I was told to pass word that
they're very satisfied with your work at the
British Intelligence headquarters. " He rose -

Captain Raeburn? I've got favor to ask.
Not for myself. I'm worried about young

''What kind of favor?" Raeburn inquired.

She's been lucky to last out so long in this
country, where there's a filed doesier for

What have the Gestapo got against her?"
Nothing. But suspicion is enough! The
new District Leader in this area is Dr.. Cesar
Lotze. You've heard of him? His motto is:
Wien in doubt - DEATH Can you wonder
there's twice been an attempt on his Life?
They'll get him next time! But about this
young lady Il would like to help Fraulein

Its her only chance. When you're back in

I'm afraid it can't be done" Raebun
tapped the pocket where he had placed the
thin envelope. I've got to make quick air

There was long silence. Geldart suddenly
lurched from his chair and made for the door.
''You will see herr"

sky upon the city of Kotzberg, million
- leaflets had dropped by night from
British warplanes. Blackout precautions had
been doubled, and pedestrians groped their
way homeward through the gloom of dark
ened streets.
In the older quarter Of the city, a man
{ hurried along a passage and paused at the
entrance of oobbled courtyard. He listened
for the sound of pursuing footsteps, but he
could hear only the mutter of rain on tiled
roofs, and his confidence began to return
High gables stood dimly against the sky.
Not wisp of light was to be seen at any
window. He moved across to corner OF the
courtyard and slipped a thin key into lock.
His blue-tint fiashlight wavered backward
and forward On the stairs as he mounted
cautiously to the top landing.
There was the sound of quick double rap.
After pause be knocked again. This time
the door swung open, and he followed mans
shutting footsteps along passage. The room
he entered was small and narrow. with a
shaded lamp on the table. The air was thick
with tobacco smoke. He unbuttoned his wet
ulster, tossed it over the back of chair.
He had crisp fair hair. eyes of gun-metal
blue, and the high cheekbones of the Scottish
Celt. Good evening, Herr Geldart" he said.
Surprised to see me?"
Captain Raebnnr' Theother manlowered
his short massive body into chair. His voice
had shown surprise, but his face was immo-
bile. It was heavy dark face, the skin PEN

But the eyes with their dropping lids, set
under black wedges of bqows, were of clear
hazel tint, brilliant and alert He Lit his china
bowied pipe and looked across the table at
the younger man.
For two days I've been expecting the

Raeburn shrugged. Don't think me cyni
cal, but can make no promises. You're quite
sure about this young woman? It's favorite
game for Cestapo agents to pretend they're
hiding from the police"
Anger smoldered for a moment in Celdart's
eyes. Are you trying to teach me my busi-
ness? can vouch for Venetia Osmond. A man
can see lot from a sickbed."
''One takes no chances on our job -"
Raeburn began, when there was a gentle
knock.
He got to his feet In the dirnness of the
doorway, he had an impression of slender
figure and an oval face with pointed chin.
Shadowy eyes looked at him doubtfully.

said Celdart in German. please sit down,
Fraulein. Herr Steuben goes back to Denmark
tonight. hope he may be able to help
you"
As the girl came forward into the circle Of
lamplight, Raeburn saw she had deep violet
blue eyes and hair of bright gold. The curved
lips dropped at the corners, and when he
pulled forward a chair they moved in flicker
ing smile of thanks. She sat with her fingers
tightly interlaced on her lap.
"You can trust Herr Steuben," murmured
Geldart Tell him about your brother. I've
left that to you, Fraulein."
MY brother had just come out of hospital
when the war started. He was indiscreet

One evening he disappeared. A concentration

Looking Ahead
AT Tacoma S
l94O-4l Music
Looks Like q Season OF
Notable Opportunity

Never has Tacoma faced the
prospect of music season so
notable as that promised for
1904. The Ladies Musical club
setting an all time record for men,
bership pledges so early in the
season, has guaranteed the coming
Of Lawrence Tibbett, Americas
outstanding baritone. and Dorothy
Maynor, Negro soprano. the latest
discovery in the music world, 10
headline this seasons artist course.
Paralleling this effort of the
Ladies Musical club, the Civic Mu-
sic association is bringing Richard
Crooks and Marian Anderson.
Negro contralto. the biggest box
office attraction on the concert
stage. These four constitute the
headliners on the American concert
stage, each representing diff
ferent but the highest type of indi-
vidual accomplishment in the
American music world.
Added to this Is the artist course
being planned by the College of
Puget Sound. The experiment this
season was so successful that the
committee already has decided to
venture further into that field and
reservations already are being
made.
Apart from that course plans are
being made for the presentation Of
the Puget Sound Symphony or
chestra and Puget Sound Chamber
Music society in at least four for
NAL concerts. Both groups made
a good start this season, the first
under the direction of Louis G.
Wersen and the latter with Erich
Koker as the directing head.
Tentative plans for other VEN
lures into the concert field have
been made, including the presen-
tation of the University of Wash
ington band and the Seattle SYM
phony orchestra, and a season of
opera.
