now as he stepped out of his Rolls
Royce at the palace front door.
The Maharanee came fussing into
Lynn's bedroom:
Lynn darling, Rundhia wishes to
see you. And have told him won't
speak to him until you forgive him."
Lynn laughed: "All right. Come
and hear me forgive him. 1t seems
to me you're more afraid of Run
dhia than am. Read this first:
it's note from Aunty. Isn't it per-
feet? Aunty is one of those people
who never use more than ten
words in telegram.
The Maharanee read the note
aloud:
''Refuse the Maharanee's invita-
ton, pack your things and come
away. Deborah Harding"
"You will obey herr"

Very well, let's keep Rundhia
waiting, while write her a note"
So Lynn wrote a note to her aunt,
but she did not show it to the Ma
haranee.
Lynn and the Maharanee emerged
through the big brass gate and be-
came modern women. The seventy
year-old servant with the key pre-
coded them and announced them,
but they walked into Rundhia's den
as if it were a New York apart
ment, which it rather resembled.
''Rundhia, that you should have
dared to ask permission to speak to
Miss Lynn Harding, makes me hope
you are ashamed and that you wish
very humbly, to beg her pardon"
Rundhia was perfect. He didn't
even make any contrite gestures.
He looked straight at Lynn as il he
and she hadn't even an excuse for a
misunderstanding.

20 Bare Boys of Swim
Class Liven Fire Drill

NILES CENTER, ILL.-The burn.
ing question at the new million
dollar Niles township high school
these days is fire drill.
The first fire drill this season DEM
onstrated the efficiency of the fire
drill system, in which a fire chief,
appointed in each room supervises
evacuation of the building. Six hum
dred pupils were out of the building
in minute As seconds.
Congratulations were in order un-
til someone remembered Instructor
Harold Isaacson's swimming class
OF 20 boys. Some swimmers had
ventured as far as the corridors in
the nude; others were scampering
about the locker room in various
stages of attire. A third group was
at the bottom of the pool, holding
their breaths and figuring they were
safe as anything from fire.

Duty Called Constable
To Go the Utter Limit

The special constable was being
shown his first night beat.
"See that red light in the dis
tance?" said the sergeant. That's
the limit of your beat in that di-
rection. Now 60 on with it."
The new constable started of.
When three o'clock rolled. around,
he did not come in to report, nor
did he show up for duty the fol-
lowing night. Then, along about
4:30 that next morning, he turned
up again, weary and limping.
"Where in thunder have you
been," demanded the sergeant.
Afeeble response: "That red light
was long-distance moving van.
I came upon it 43 miles out when
it stopped because of a fiat tire"

Good for you," Lynn answered.

you are so magnanimous as to &C
cept that speech for an apology.
But ! will not pay Rundhia's debts

heard plenty of Rundhia's prom
ises."
Rundhia smiled at his aunt: "You
dear old despot, you could make me
promise anything!" he glanced at
Lynn. Have you heard from Nor
wood?"
"What about him?" she answered.
Rundhia's eyes watched hers with
masked triumph.
There is more than a -umor,"
he said. There is proof. To the
hilt. Norwood has accepted a bride.
Norwood's number is up"
The Maharanee gasped. She
looked shocked, and Lynn noticed
it. Lynn said nothing.
"Rundhia, what have you been do
ing?" asked the Maharanee.
'The Resident phoned, asking me
to come and see him." Rundhia an
swered. HE has heard about Nor
wood carrying diamonds in his pock-
ct"
Lynn laid down her cigarette. 1t
didn't taste good. "Rundhia," she
said, "who told the RESIDENT"
Rundhia shrugged his shoulders,
''How should l know"
''But I think you do know" said
the Maharanee. "Rundhia," she re-
peated. what have you been do
ing?"
Norwood accepted present of
diamonds, from some agents Of the
temple authorities, to write report
in the priests favor, in connection
with the dispute about the boundary
line and the question of who owns
the land that the diamonds came
from. There's your incorruptible
British officer! Same old story!
Good-by Norwood! They will hold a
court martial behind closed doors.
OF course.
Lynn was remembering. The
physical struggle with Rundhia in
the treasure room was a fact
through which slowly emerged
something less than fact-an i'm
preston. She remembered Run
dhia's eyes when she told him about
the packet of diamonds that she had
seen fall from Norwood's pocket.
She remembered her immediate re-
greet at having mentioned Norwood
and the diamonds, even though she
did it to distract Rundhia's atten-
ton from herself. Regret enlarged
itself now into kind of cold, ap-
palling horror.
"Rundhia," she asked almost
hoarsely. did you mention my
name in connection with this?"

Norwood is a crook, who has

bother about him?"
The Maharanee interrupted:

Gus? II Rundhia learned of some
thing wrong, it was his duty"
Rundhia interrupted his aunt:
DUTY? Norwood insulted every sim
gle one of US, including you, Lynn.
I heard him. He's cad. Let him
take the consequences"
Lynn returned to the main point:
"Rundhia, you say that the Resi-
dent phoned you. But how did the
Resident know? Wasn't it you who
phoned the Resident? If you don't
tell me, I intend to ask the Resi-
dent. There's a phone here. Shall /

MY advice to you is to keep out
of it," Rundhia answered. "They
might make you give evidence. Do
you wish to be dragged into a scsn-
dial? Norwood is guilty. Do you
want to add to the poor devils hui
initiation by appearing in court
against him?"
"Rundhia, was it you who told
the Resident about those diamonds
in Captain Norwood's pocket?"
Rundhia didn't answer. Lynn got
out of her chair and went and sat
beside the phone. It was on a lit
tie table near the Maharanee. She
raised the phone off the bracket, but
let it click down again when Run
dhia opened his lips.
"Since you insist" said Rundhia.
Eyes. l told the Resident. How
ever, he was already suspicious of
Norwood. He was glad to get my
information"
''And you told the Resident that
your information came from rne?"
81 had to. But as I have al
ready told you. forbade hin, to
mention your rrme."
''Then ! am in the position of
having betrayed Captain Norwood?"
do you call it betrayal? He's a
crook. He accepted a brine. Not
the first time either. dare bet
you"
Lynn spoke Indignantly: 81 don't
believe Captain Norwood would ac-
cept bride from anyone. haven't
even the slightest suspicion of his
being guilty, no m after what you, or
the Resident, or anyone may think.
/ shouldn't have mentioned those
diamonds to you. I did it inadvert-
emily, when l felt I had to saw
something and it was the first thing
that came to mind. You had no
right to repeat what I said"
''You should first have consulted
His Highness my husband" said
the Maharanee. "Why didn't your"
because he would have done
nothing, as usual" Rundhia retort-
ed.
Lynn's fingers returned to the tele-
phone, but her eyes were on Run
dhia. The threat of the telephone
no longer worked. He nodded.
Go ahead" he said. "Phone the
Resident, if you care to. wanted to
keep you out of it, but do as you
please"
Lynn stood up. "No," she an
swered. Il will write to Captain
Norwood. will ask him to come
and see me. Perhaps my evidence
would help him. At the very least,
I can tell him how sorry I am"
Lynn dear!" said the Mahara-
nee.
But Lynn was resolute. She
wouldn't listen to her. MAY have

No one answered. Lynn tu<aed

Aunty's envelope into the waste-bas-
ket. She turned both letters face
downward on the blotter while she
searched for envelopes. There were
none in the desk drawer. She asked
Rundhia for envelopes. He found
two. She inserted the letters, sealed
up the envelopes and addressed
them. Rundhia walked out of the
room.

you could persuade him to do any

Monument !! Society
Elects Two Members
Al Annual Meetinq
Group to Continue Effort
To Obtain Fund for
Beoutifying Shuft

Capt. Chester Wells, United States
Navy, retired, and John Stewart
Bryan, president of william and
Mary College, were elected to mem
bership in the Washington National
Monument Society at its 107th an
nual meeting, held at the Metro
politan Club yesterday.
Discussion at the meeting centered
around the "unsightly condition" Of
the lower $50 feet Of the exterior
marble surface Of the monument.
Built nearly 6 hundred years ago,
this portion Of the monument, It
was said, has weathered badly and
the cement patching which it re-
ceived about four years ago has not
improved its appearance.
Members agreed that it was neces-
sary to cut back the marble 6 or 8
inches and add a veneer Of new
marble or white granite, the latter
stone being favored by many be-
cause OF its greater durability.
The society will continue its ef-
forts to obtain an appropriation
from Congress to cover the work,
which it estimated would cost about
$3.50, 900.
State Department Counselor r,
Walton Moore, second vice president
OF the society, presided at the meet
ing in the absence Of former Supreme
Court Justice Van Devanter, first
vice president, who is recovering
from an attack of grippe.
The President of the United States
is president ex offlcio of the society.
Other members of the society are

It had been geenrally expected
that the NaZi-Fascist forces would
make a drive into southeastern
Europe as a preliminary move in
an attempted Blitzkrieg of the
Near and Middle East, including
Egypt, Palestine and Iraq. British
military authorities were reported
intensifying defense preparations
in the Near East and the newly
formed Arab-JeWish infantry fore
es in the Holy Land were being
prepared for active duty. The Axis
push towards the Mediterranean
was interpreted as a diversion to
draw attention from the failure
thus far of the attempted conquest
of England.
Greece's attitude towards the
Jews was recently expressed by
George Kirinis, Governor ener-
al of Macedonia, who declared in
a speech at a Jewish school:
1--WE love you as much as the
Christian children. We do not
make distinctions among Greek
citizens of different faiths. Jewish
soldiers re serving under the
Greek colors and are ready to sac
rifice their lives for the father
land. Your co-religionists in old
Greece are distinguishing them
selves in all the liberal professions.
You may rest assured that the
Jews of this country are enjoying
and will always enjoy complete
equality of civil, moral and other
rights. Love of country is all we
demand"
