Dispatch Rider Wants To
Ride Again In This War

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind UP -
Claude Downs, a blade painter in
a local propeller factory, would
drop his tools in an instant IL he
could have his World War l job
again.
He was a dispatch rider in
France for World War II hero,
Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
Downs is AZ, and registered TO-
Selective Service in April. He Is
married and has a family, but is
ready to fight II he's needed.
Downs job in the last war was to
carry messages from MacArthur's
headquarters to Col. Mathew Tin
ley. commander of an infantry reg
iment. He always got through, but
was hit in the arm by flying shrap-
mel and once was blown from his
motorcycle when the Germans laid
down an artillery barrage on the
road he was travelling.
He wears a metal plate In his lef:
cheek-a souvenir OF a bayonet
charge over the top" in the second
battle OF the Marne. when he aban-
doned his cycle TO Join his regi-
ment's sortie.
Downs has nothing but praise
for Macarthur. and confirms stories
OF the generals disregard for
personal safety.
There's man for you he
said. And II Pm needed. that's
the job Id like"

College Study by Mail
For Soldiers in Camps

MADISON. Wis.-UP-The only
correspondence school in the ma
ton operated solely for American
soldiers will swing into action this
spring on the University OF Wis
consin campus, according TO Pres.
Clarence A. Dykstra.
The Army Institute OF Core
spondence Work. as the school Is
known. will give college training by
correspondence TO all men in tho
United States Army who want Il.
The lessons will be sent to the boys
no matter where they may be-in
camps in this country or with ex-
peditionary forces in Europe or the
Far East. Anywhere from 10000 to
10000 will take advantage OF this
Army-university offer, Dykstra esti-
mated.
All courses will be taught by
Wisconsin faculty members but ad-
ministrative and clerical work will
be handled by Army personnel al
ready on the job. Army men will
be trained by the university teach
ers as the courses progress so that
the service itself may eventually
take over the direction of the
school. Both the Navy and Air
Corps already have their own cor
respondence schools. and the Wis
consin venture is the Army's FIRST
step in the same direction.

to say nothing Of a retinue Of other
members Of the cast who had
trailed along and now. hopeful Of
being in the next Drake-Peyton
success, were hanging about like
obedient children, awaiting her
orders.
When they had completed their
parade-it could be termed nothing
else, that exodus from station wait

dozens-August sank against the
cushions and expelled her breath in
loud WEAKNESS.

Anette, tucked In Larry's arm,
scrutiniZed the older woman, her
skillfully madeup face and stun
ming travel costume, a pale gray
silk suit with crisp white collar
and cuffs. Her white gloves were
spotless. Al Of a sudden Anette
felt herself lured by the woman's
theatrical personality, just as she
had that first night when Walter
had taken her backstage.
Il think you look marvellous,
August"
II should. It took me two hours
to get ready" The leading lady's
head dropped against Laurence
Peyton's shoulder. But I'll live
through It I have before. I've
never been able to figure out why
so many actresses, when they ac-
quire fame and money, think they
have to garb themselves like last
years laundress for a public ap-
pearance." She rolled her head to
one side and surveyed the young
girl THANK heaven you are look
ing less like hillbilly."
The hot flush in Anette's cheeks
subsidized Immediately, as she rea-
lied August Drake meant nothing
more with her crisp denunciation
than her grandmother had with
frequent and unwelcome faultfnd-
ing. Comparing the fiery actress
with her aged grandmother filed
her with such hysterical amuse-
ment that she laughed out loud.
Larry gave her a somewhat star
tied glance, as did August, but the
woman's mouth widened into q re-
sponsive smile.
As they walked into the Sussex.
Larry went to the newsstand. The
two women headed for the elevator.
Anette said, TRY to get an apart
ment on the same floor with u.s."
Casually the actress said, "Oh,
I'm not staying in town. It's too
hot. I'm taking a house In Con-
necticut. Wen rehearse there.
Larry will have to stay at the inn.-
Unaware Of the girls disquiet, she
added, Il hate New York sum-
mers."
Anette Jared inwardly. And

She advised me to take this Job:
she helped me fight Lance, but she
Is as much a menace as Lois Lyn-
don. More, because Lois Is honest
Brazen even. August Is covert"
Larry Joined them In a short
while, armed with newspapers and
magazines, the morning mail, two

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

L
JAMES LYNDON stood motion
less, watching his sister continue
her joyous dancing. Suddenly she
stopped and walked to an open ter
race door that overlooked the city's
brilliance. Now this town will
amount to something in my young
life" She Logan to laugh uproar-
iously. after your yanking me out
of Chicago to save Larry - your
precious Anette, too, Of course
and now he is coming here. Oh,
Jimmy"
Lyndon lit a cigaret and found
his hands shaking. With a shame
that approached panic, he thought,
"Why want to hit her, beat some
sense into her, wipe that jeering
smile from her face. And 1 could.
She is so tiny, so defenseless." Alb
ruptly, he knew she was not de-
fenseless. for she stood there, a
slim glittering doll. and controlled
him with sheer wickedness.
He could only say pleadingly,
'Why don't you try to be content
with the unattached young men
who swarm around you?"
She turned back into the room
and leaned against an ornate table.
Its top was of marbelized stone,
polished to resemble lapis lazuli.
There were cleaning white Gala
lilies in a pale blue vase. The set
ting made her even more beautiful,
more softly delicate.
"Why don't you be content with
the unattached young women who
swarm around you ?" As he moved
to her side, she looked up into his
piercingly blue eyes, then patted
his tanned cheek with an emerald
bedecked hand. mot only because
you're very handsome. brother
dear, but also because you have
more money than pills" She
laughed again, not so happily this
time. "I'll answer the momentous
question for both of us. We don't
want the ones who swarm around
like bees. Oh, we 60 to their par
ties, but only after we have paid
our respects to The Violent Flame.
We want just one person. ! have
the nerve to admit 1t and you
don't" She poured two Martins
from a dragon-decorated cocktail
shaker and handed one to her
brother. That's what comes from
your living with mother. 1t has
made you afraid to breathe"
Il prefer that" retaliated James
with a cold directness, ito being
completely incorrigible. And that's
what comes from your having lived
with your father"
81 don't care" the girl declared
passionately. Il wish he were alive
now. He wasn't afraid to have
fun and do as he pleased. He
wouldn't be ashamed Of me. And
don't you dare say anything
against him. she ordered in a
strangled voice.
Il don't intend to-" Young Lyn-
don put out a firm tanned hand
and clutched his sisters bare shoul-
der. Now straighten up. Have
your drink. Wen decide later what
to do"
She drained her glass before
answering. Nothing is going to be
done. You can't send me away this
time. I'll make you look ridicu-
lous." She initiated, with scathing
cleverness, a gossip paragraph.
"'What young man is carrying a
torch for a flame? Too bad his
fathers formula wasn't for heart
trouble instead Of a stomach-ache.'
Nope. Jimmy, don't try to handle
me on a leash as 1 do Pogo" She

put down her crystal cocktail glass
on the tables blue top and paid nc
attention when it fell over and
cracked. Don't" she repeated
try to send me away, not unless
you intend to leave yourself-and
somehow" she added tauntingly
Il doubt If you'll be leaving town."
James Lyndon did not answer.
Almost Immediately he heard the
girl leaving. He took his unfinished
cocktail and walked out on the ter
race where he leaned against the
cement balustrade and looked down
over the whirligig city, wondering
briefly how many girls there were
in New York? Narrowing the mar
gin, how many beautiful ones, with
shining black hair and topaz eyes
ard sweet smiles?
Swarms, Of course. Lois had been
right She had been right, too,
when she told him he wanted only
one person. Perhaps II he had not
gone to Bermuda-but 1t was too
ridiculously late to think along
those lines. 1t was too late to think
about the girl at all, and yet he
was unable to do anything else,
And, exactly as his sister had
prophesied, he did not intend to
leave New York. He caught q
glimpse Of his wristwatch and hur-
riedly swallowed the last OF the
Martini, 1t was almost curtain
time.
Anette walked about the station,
waiting for the train that would
bring Larry and August from Chi
cago, and contrasted the pleasant
mood of the sunshiny morning with
the absolute gloom Of that late
winter one when she had arrived
In New York to begin work for
Bradford and Seymour.
She glanced at her cleaning dia-
mond watch, incongruous In the
early daylight hours, and thought,
with little mental smile, "Still q
hick, meeting the train with SC
much time to spare" The news.
stand enticed her. She bought q
theatrical magazine and a fashion
book, then selected q candy bar OF
toasted pecans and caramel which
she unwrapped. AS quickly she re-
folded 1t In its oiled paper and
showed 1t into her sophisticated
purse. What X Larry should arrive
and find her eating q five-cent
candy bar? And bareheaded! Hur-
riedly she put on her large straw
hat that matched her pearl-button-
trimmed, yellow linen frock.
A few minutes later she moved
near the gates; the first few pas
sengers were struggling through.
Before she actually saw them, she
knew August and Larry were COM
ing toward her, for there was an
additional furry and she could pick
out groups Of people that she knew
were clustered about the famous
pair like clumps Of trees about
bodies OF water. Both Larry and
August possessed that magnetism,
that power Of Turing people, even
when outside the theater.
AS a bystander expressed II,
Somebody that is somebody must
be coming"
1t was like a sudden deluge.
Larry, all broad shoulders and
broad smiles, reaching for her,
kissing her. practically lifting her
into the air and knocking her new
yellow. hat TO one side Of her head.
August, reaching over to plant a
clipped little lipetick smudge on
her cheek, then herding Katie and
