Afraid so," said Mountwyn. But
take it easy. Sir John. He can't
have escaped"
Sir John groaned slightly. "Worse
and worse" he sighed.
Wen nab him." said Mountwyn
confidently. Nobody can get by
the lodge gates-they've been
locked. It's a 12-foot wall and only
last month I had two strands of
American barbed wire strung along
the top. Besides, it's well lighted
and the lights are on the lodge-gate
circuit. Only the lodgekeeper can
put them out, and he didn't . No,
whoever he is-he's still on the
premises"
Then We'll have to catch him."
gritted Sanderson. IF I could only
get up-do something!" He made
another effort, only to fall back
again.
Brinda placed restraining hand
on his forehead. You mustn't,
Sandyl" she admonished. "Just lie
quiet, DR.. Macdonald will be here
Soon."
Sir John Warns Brinda.
"Good!" said Sir John. BEST not
to bring too many people in on this.
Still -. suppose it's public prop

Not bit of It," said Mountwyn.
Fortunately, we've been able to
handle it quietly. But do you think
we can wait-I mean do you feel
up to it?"
"Of course. What are a couple of
knife scratches to an old army man?
The thing I can't understand is why
I was knocked out so completely.
Wait! The whole things coming
back, Mountwyn. You were handing
me the-er. the article-when the
lights went out. Then you said,
Hang on to itp and I knew you
thought that I must have taken it
from you. Then this fellow bumped
into me and 1 grappled with him.
He was pretty strong and he tripped
me at the same time he used the
knife. My head hit something going
down and passed out"
Good thing you did" said Mount
wyn, "or he'd probably have finished
you"
Little harm, if he had!" Sir
Johns tone was bitter. MY sue
cessor might manage things better"
Sir Johns eyes closed, his voice
died. He shook his head weakly and
tried to continue but Brinda 81
lenced him with soft fingers on his
lips.
Not another world" she ordered.
Eyes blazing. she turned on Mount
wyn, please let him alone! Can't
you see he's too weak to talk?"
Sir John stirred restlessly.
"Brinda!" he called.

CHAPTER TX.
Ignoring Dicks restraining ges-
ture, Brinda swept swiftly forward.
At the sight Of dark stain on Sir
Johns shirt-bosom she was near
crying out.
She knelt beside the PROSTATE fig
ure Of the intelligence chief, SANDY,
Sandy!" Her fingers searched the
f1accid wrist. Having viewed sudden
and violent death so recently, it
was hard for her to believe the re-
assuring news conveyed by the
strongly beating pulse
Sandy, dear" she pleaded. "Oh,
please" Some whisper of her fer
vent appeal reached the tagging
consciousness of the wound man. A
faint smile twitched corner of the
stern, tired mouth.
Look sharp, Mountwyn," he
mumbled weakly, "he's after the ci-
pher!"
Brinda scarcely heard the words
it was enough that he had spoken.

The Roll Is Called on High School Drama Pioneers

Cowl in First Lady" among other
things.
Miss Baker remembers several
high school actors who forsook that
profession to lead saner lives.
Among her drama enthusiasts, for
instance. were Milton Norman, now
assistant corporation counsel, and
Harry Wender. president of the
Southwest Citizens Association.
Miss Baker was pioneering in high
school dramatics at Central High,
though she found a pioneer ahead
of her there. This was Mrs Eliza
beth Walton, who had been physical
education director at Central for
many years and was in charge of
play production. She turned over
the nucleus of an acting group
which Miss Baker discovered had
been given something very much
like professional training. 1t was
fairly easy to get drama recognized
as a legitimate study along about
1922.
Walten Develops Musicians.
Mr.. Dore Walten's contribution
was in a slightly different field. 1t
was under his guidance that the
first really good high school orches-
ira in town came into being at
Tech. And with a good high school
orchestra available, it was the most
natural thing in the world that
drama minded students should turn
to operetta. Mckinley students have
done some notable things with Gill
bert and Sullivan items and Victor
Herbert works.
In recent years high school drama
classes have sent a number of young
people out into the world carrying
enthusiasm for the theater and for
acting with them. Local drama
groups are full of those who find
the theater their favorite avocation,
and there are others who call it
both avocation and vocation.
Walter Pick, for instance, came
out of Western SO full of a yen for
theatrical activity that he became
one of the founders, back in 1884,
of the still thriving summer home
OF melodrama as it used to be
played, the Roadside Theater. Now
he has gone away, however, to be-
come secretary to Movie Star Mel
vyn Douglas. And there was West
ern's Jimmy RaWlS, who now be-
longs to the Army. but who only
recently was a member of the road
company cast of The Man Who
Came to Dinner"
Others Who Gained Fame.
Western also has contributed
Dancer Frances RandS to the pro-
fessional theater And, if you have
heard the Paul Whiteman recording
of All Points West" you know the
voice of Bob Lawrence, who was
an occasional actor at Central High.
This list could go on and on, but
it might be best to stop it by noting
that it was also Control High drama
work which produced the actress
who already has achieved some
thing to which all of her profession
aspire. but few, very few, ever man.
age This is Miss Peggy Johnston
whose Rosalind of a Central High
production of "As You Like It." a
few years ago, was something OF
such charm that she was certain to
be on the Washington Civic Thea
ter stage not long after.
And that's where Miss Johnston
attained the ambition many an &C
tress must envy. Miss Johnston
was playing the ingenue role in a
comedy. Cast opposite her was a
critic (nameless) who had been
dared into the whole thing. And
nightly did Miss Johnston slap him
and hard. Katharine Hepburn would
have loved it, with a new critic each
! night, no doubt.

By HARRY MACARTHUR

Once upon an evening, several
years ago, a professional theater-
goer was discouraged to discover
himself trapped in the same audi
torium here with high school
play. There seemed no escape. He
thought of leaping to his feet and
calling back over his shoulder some
thing about having left pot of
vitriol boiling on the stove at the
Office. but that entailed running for
the door and running was work.
He thought of assuming an at
tack of the vapors or the megrims
so he'd be carried out but he
couldn't remember what the symp-
toms were. So he stayed. And sud-
denly he realized he was enjoying
himself AS he walked out, after,
and not before, the final curtain, he
was wearing an expression of
pleased surprise; surprise, of course,
always being part of the reaction
when a critic finds himself pleased
This is amazing" he said aloud.
Here Is higher level of intelli-
NIlC1l ~ llI9ll oIllOoA SIuNlCIllS
are on a stage than ever I saw"
Why He Was Impressed.
What had impressed him was
something that many a time can
make up for lack of experience in
stage players-a whole-hearted en-
thuSiasm and spirit of cooperation.
This was no commercial product.
but true theater that was a project
OF the entire school, done pour lie
sport. Architectural drawing classes
had designed the scenery, the wood
working shop had made it. Art
classes had designed the costumes
and the domestic arts classes had
made them.
Acting. back in this day not so
long ago, was an extra a-curricular
activity, performed because certain
students just wanted to act, and
usually there was an English teacher
with love of drama around to lend
them a hand.
Delving into this matter of the
addition of dramatic classes to high
school curricula brought almost a
startling reply the other day.
Nothing" we were told, SIS ex-
tra-curricular today" Education
certainly has progressed.
Hyattsville Club Experiments.
Drama in the righ schools cer-
tainly has come a long way since
the major activity was the produc-
ton of the spring play 1t is some
thing of jump from those days
when "A Midsummer Nights Dream"
and The Rivals" we're certain to
be on one or more high school stages
In the spring, to today, when such
group as the HyattSville High
School DramaticS Club is expert
menting nobly under Dennis
Browns direction.
b. In recent years this group has run
something of a series of gamuts
from The Bat" to The Warriors
Husband" to The Tanning of the
Shrew" to "R. U. R." to modern
dress version of Julius Caesar"
and to a number of other items.
Such progress wasn't arrived at in
any short space of time, nor did it
just happen. There were pioneers,
who gave of extra time to student
productions and finally worked dra-
matte classes into the high school
curriculum. Oral English classes
usually were the entering wedge, it
being an easy step from there to
the allowing credits for dramatic
work.
Miss Margaret Merrill, now head
resident at Barney Neighborhood
House; Norman Nelson, principal at
Woodrow Wilson High School;
Esther Galbraith of Roosevelt, Ethel
Prince at Eastern, Dore Walten at
Mckinley and a host of others are
