Il am opposed to it! 1t may mean
utter disaster. You people in the
Admiralty are making the same
old mistake-underes the
enemy. Suppose Hitler gets wind in
advance of this harebrarned
scheme? Do you imagine he'll be
idle?"
The French will keep Hitler oc-
cupied," said Mountwyn.
Nonsense. man. You don't know
the French Army of today. Hltler's
storm troops will be in England be-
fore they get started.
MountWyn shrugged.
81 don't think so. At any rate, the
decision is made. and the fleet has
its orders. Besides, I have other
troubles just now E. serious ones.
More serious than your country's
welfare?" Sir John asked in an acid
undertone.
Almost E. for me- Confidentially,
it's my daughter
Your daughter?"
"Yes, she's vanished. Into thin
air. I say. it just occurred to me!
Perhaps your agents could help me
find her!"
"A little out of our line" said Sir
John dryly Have you notified Scot
land Yard?"
Sir John Is Bitter.
well no. You see, she's van-
ished before for day or two.
She's a very independent girl,
Gladys. But never for so long. It's
most upsetting."
III see what I can do" promised
the intelligence chief. Daughters
aren't always bliss, are they, Mount
wyn?" His voice was bitter.
"Eh? No. I suppose not"
DR.. Macdonald nudged Sir John.
Steady. Jock! You haven't proved
it on Brinda yet. I'm still backing
the better strain in her heredity."
But Sir John was not listening.
His keen eyes bad suddenly deserted
something of interest in another
part of the theater. He whispered
a few words to Dick.
Dick peered through the dusk of
the theater, now broken to some
extent by the lights from the stage.
BY George, yes!" he exclaimed.
"It's Vaslav. Talking to the chap
that's handling the balcony spot
Queerl I should think he'd be busy
backstage."
Sir John froWned.
so should I. BY the way,
Dick, have you been around back?
I mean to talk to Brinda?"
TO tell you the truth, no. Er d,
was rather thinking of congratu-
lating her after the show" Dicks
misery showed in his face. you
Evening star., 1941-04-05

know we had bit of a tiff over her
going to Vaslav's. My fault. I'm
going to try to patch it tonight"
The rumble of DR.. MacDonalds
voice broke in.
Whats the ruckus, you two2 Did
you come to hold parliamentary
debate. or watch the performance?
All, there's Brinda now, bless
her!"
Sir John Active.
In the gleam of a brilliant spot
light. Brinda whirled out upon the
stage, light as thistledown, grace
full as a bird in flight. On pointed
toes. she pirouetted swiftly from
square to square, twisting in and
out among the other statelier-
moving dancers. The pawns knelt;
a king held out his arms.
Sir John watched with his whole
soul. Abruptly he turned to Mount
Wyn.
You'll excuse me moment.
Come, Dick" Arising, he led the
way from the box. In the foyer, his
whole manner changed. Get around
backstage, Dick! Stay close to
Brinda! And watch that fellow
Vaslav."
But I don't understand, sir.
What-?"
There's no time to explain. But
Evening star., 1941-04-05

Brinda from the balcony since she
entered suddenly went off. Brinda
could see some kind of a struggle
going on in the balcony. Then,
through the theater, rang the au-
thoritative voice of Sir John San
derson:
Attention.! I am speaking for
the intelligence Office. AL men,
bers of the audience will remain
seated. No one will be permitted to
leave until certain precautionary
measures have been taken to appre-
hend enemy agents known to be
present. That is all"
The audience froze into immobil-
ity. With dazed eyes the startled
spectators watched the curtain de-
scend. But stirring drama contin-
ued behind 1t.
Recovering from Dicks blow,
Vaslav rose swiftly to his feet.
Dick aimed another blow at him.
But this time Vaslav leaped aside.
Vaslav Is Swift.
Moving with lightning swiftness,
he recovered the gun. He held it
loosely in his hand, swinging it so
that the muzzle threatened not only
Evening star., 1941-04-05

if you really love my niece, do as I
sayp
"Yes, sir!" Dick saluted, and was
gone.
Sir John beckoned to a man
standing near-a quiet-looking man
in faultless evening wear.
You have your men all posted,
Harlow?"
Yes, sir"
"House covered, too?"
Thoroughly, sir. A ferret couldn't
slip out of it."
Very well. Send two more men
good ones-to watch the operator
of the balcony spotlight. Grab him
when I give the word. All hell's
likely to break loose in here soon, so
be ready!"
Right, sir"
Brinda Is Suspicious.
Sir John returned to MountWyn's
box. He said nothing. But, lifting
opera glasses to his eyes, he
watched Brinda's every move.
Brinda completed her swift circle
of the chessboard. Now, came the
adagio movement, in which the
white queen moved majestically
from square to square, along an Or
dered plan corresponding to the in
exorable rules of chess 1t was at
this point that Vaslav had ordered
some late and drastic changes in the
pattern of her dance.
But, even as she Whirled through
the final gyrations of her opening
figure, Brinda solved the puzzle that
had been tormenting her mind-the
meaning of the obscure figures she
had jotted down in her dressing
room little before. 1t was code
after all, complex and battling, but
nonetheleSS surely designed to con-
vey an accurate message to any one
who knew its key.
But why had Vaslav chosen her
to convey it? In binding flash of
diScernment, she thought she un-
derStood. There. was all official
England watching her across the
footlightS. Her beloved Uncle John,
too Dick. Suppose this really
was a code-this curious chesSboard
dance-a code designed, somehow
to reach England's enemy. How
completely. how utterly, Vaslav
would have her in his power-once
she became his accomplice before
the eyes of all the world!
She could see Vaslav watching
her from the wings. She flashed him
smile, enigmatic, deceptive. If she
followed his directions, the next
square to feel the swift touch of her
flying feet would be the king 4. If
she had solved the code correctly
that would be the letter g. But,
| still smiling at Vaslav's suddenly
startled face. she pirouetted lightly
to queens bishop g. That would be
the letter "S"-since IS" was the
third letter in bishop" Then to
queens bishop 6-"p" then to
knights 81" Then "e" again:
then back to queens bishop g. and
her message was complete
"S-P-I-E-S!"
She did not need to be told that
she had won. A look at Vaslay'
face told it all. Then, as a pistoI
appeared by magic in his hand, she
realized she might have dared too
much.
But, at the same moment, a hard
British fist struck the jaw of the
Prince, and he staggered back, the
weapon falling from his hand.
Get up, you rotten bighter" or
dered the voice of Dick Maiden. Get
up so 1 can smash you again!"

Dick but the other male members of
the ballet. who were pressing curl
ously forward, their gorgeous cos
tunes and painted cheeks strangely
incongruous in this setting of vio-
lence and danger.
Il regret" said Vaslav, sneering,
"that I have no time to accept your
invitation, 1t. Maiden. On some
other occasion I shall be more than
happy to return your courtesy
with interest" A reckless, insolent
smile curved his lips. He bowed to
Brinda. II had no thought of shoot
ing you, my beautiful. could
not have pulled the trigger. 1 only

Solid doors for the cupboards at
the sides of this sink would have
placed the accent on vertical lines
and made the room seem narrower.

free hand he blew her kiss. Then,
lightly twitching the muzzle of the
automatic from side to side, he
backed carefully away, the smile
still on his lips.
AS he reached the short flight of
steps leading to the stage door, and
thence to the outer world of free
dom, he stopped. The pistol became
still, its muzzle centered on Dick.
"On second thought, lieutenant"
Vaslav said softly. II don't think
shall wait for that future opportu-
nifty. Instead, I am going to kill you
now"

Fisk Singers
Charm Crowd
At Concert

In the beautiful and spacious
auditorium of the Incarnation
church at 18Th and Pleasant the
Fisk Jubilee Singers rendered a
concert to a crowd of about 700
persons on Tuesday evening at
eight fifteen. After this last ap-
pearance in the west they left for
Pittsburgh and other eastern
points.
The singers, sponsored by the
Women's Auxiliary of the Mime
apolis Urban League, gave varied
program of spirituals and classics
in group selections and in solo
form. Included on the program
were the favorite spirituals-"Steal
Away" my Soul Would Not Be
Contented," Hear de Lambs a-Cry-
ing" and Swing Low" Very
prayerfully sung was Malotte's
Lords Prayer" and for an encore
after Hills" by LaForge the group
sang the we'll known tongue-twister
"Peter Piper Picked a Peck of
Picked Peppers, truly proving
their worth as singers in enunciat-
ing every "p" and nary a tongue

played a group of three selections
of Chopin, Dett and DeFalla in ex-
cellent style and with such feeling
that he received one of the biggest
hands of any of the groups.
Nathaniel Dickerson, tenor, sang
his group of four numbers in a
very artistic manner. AS many of
the patrons sat and listened to
Dickerson sing, the great artist,
Hayes, came to their minds. The
young tenor has been proclaimed
a second Hayes.
Mrs. James A. Myers, director
of the group, lends much to the en-
semble with the feminine voice and
deserves much credit for the we'll
trained group which has been pro-
claimed by musicians as the finest
vocal ensemble of the Negro race.
