CHAPTER V

In his regal suite In the Palacio
Nacional the next night, Van Has
SEX had replaced his khaki field uni
form with peacock military habili-
ments.
Benning found discomfort in the
presence of Colonel Bravot, alias
Sergeant Gaujos. But Bravot was
70 remain only few minutes, his
departure made the occasion of a
pulling ceremony.
Van Hassek, from the moment of
the French girls arrival, had CEN
tered his attentions upon Mile. Du-
cos. Benning promptly suspected
that she was the real motive for
this Van Hassek party, a show to
turn her head.
But the Benning interest had CEN
tered upon scowling Bavarian lieu
tenant who sat In Van Hassek's adj
joining military room, shut off by
thick draperies. The Bavarian's
erect posture suggested that he was
present on purely duty status. It
was obvious that the object of his
vigil was the Van Hassek Lakewood
desk.
With patient caution Benning wait
ed his time. The hour was close to
midnight when he chose his oppor-
tunity to strike He stalked into the
military room In the manner of a
man who has been drinking too
much The Bavarian sat at his job,
stiff as ramrod.
"A command for you, Lieuten-
anti" Benning blurted at him in
German. You will report at once

N the bar. See to it that you lose
no tineI''
The Bavarian looked up with a
questioning scowl, then sprang to his
feet under the habit of obedience to
a superior officer. He hesitated for
a moment, and stalked through the
heavy portieres and headed toward
the bar.
As the portieres rippled behind the
guardian of Van Hassek's desk, Ben
ming turned the key in the top draw
er. His steady hand extracted the
one document that he found there,
folded linen map.
Behring'S face went taut as his
hand thrust it open and be saw the
legend of arrows superimposed on a
map of the United States and upper
Mexico. A glance told him that the
arrows pointed to vulnerable points
of possible invasion. Behind each

pen to the stamina of those thou
sands of New Workers who live In
night clubs if this blackout comes!
If they couldn't find the night clubs,
they'd be in a bad way. And what
would be even worse, suppose they
got into a night club and then
couldn't be seen in 'em by the col
umnists!'
Mr.. Twitchen was terribly worked
up. ''Take the matter Of photo
graphs" he continued. Pictures
can't be taken during complete
blackout. There must be coupla
million New Workers who lose
weight and go into a decline if they
amt photographed wherever they
go.
eff they have to leave their apart
ments without being seen, travel to
the theater without being seen, and
even enter it and leave it without
being noticed or photographed, can
you imagine what would happen to
their morale!

these classes to go a night In COM

do? Revolt, that's what. And there's
no telling how far a revolt in New
York by people who demand the
spotlight might go. It might spread
all over America.
''And there's the matter of some Of
our big personalities. What would
be the reactions of Elsa Maxwell,
Billy Rose, Jimmy Walker, Dot

right up and expire.

points out that it is the inability of

that causes the pain. Vitamin B1
enables the oxygen to penetrate the
fat or covering of the nerve and
give relief.
It might be well for all who have

is serious health situation and your
advice is needed.
A. - Pain in back and pain
Strengthening up could be due to
rheumatism or arthritis. Pain on
both sides of abdomen could be due
to several conditi0ns-gas pressure
because there is double or s curve

Other causes could be some disturb

BIG CITY BLACKOUT

The move for a blackout test OF
New York continues, but this de-
partment is against it. More people
would get hurt by the blackout than
by any enemy attack. New York
ers, as Elmer Twitchen pointed out
today, can't even get around safely
with all the lights on.
And then, too, there's the question
of morale. What would New York

Although as an essential of his
business, he had learned control of
his emotions, Benning was unable
to put down the racking suspense OF
the next few moments. Would the
Bavarian discover at once that Van
Hassek's desk had been tempered
with? Behring'S brief survey of the
map had given him the vital infor-
nation for which he had been play

could slip away in the night, haul
out the Fernando plane from its

der.
