Last Telegraph Links
Cut by Berlin Reds
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, April 28.-The Soviet
Union postal administration has
switched off the last two tele-
graph lines directly connecting
their zone with Western Ger
many via the West Berlin cen
tral exchange.
The West Berlin postal depart
|ment said the cutoff was made
Thursday.
The lines connected the east
zone cities of Dresden and Leip-
zig with the West German cities
Of Dortmund and Bremen, re-
spectively.
Lack of technical equipment
was the Russian reason for the
switch-off.
All other lines of communica-
tions between West Berlin and
the Soviet zone were cut off in
April, 1949, and linked with the
Russian sector exchange. &

took the blame. Said he'd accidentally
switched two orders. But all could do was
to promise I'd try to get you to make an

Eileen's expression hardened. You're not
trying to tell me that brigand with SCARED
face knows one azalea from another"
Bart smiled uneasily.
Seems he does. He's one of my best Gus
toners. He's been away for month and just
turned up again this morning."
Eileen dropped into her only armchair.
Il suppose shouldn't be mad, but it really
is preposterous. All the same, it's my fault,
and I'm very sorry. Whatever are you going
to do about it?"

Eileen sighed. THE azaleas aren't here.

What nuisance! Bart, did you say a lady

He paid cash. - Bart added. always does.
He went out just before you came in"
That man with the big car - who made
pass at me?"
Bart frowned.
That's the man. He often buys here,
mostly roses"
Eileen smiled triumphantly.
Then it s easy. That man wouldn't know
an azalea from cauliflower! Send him the
other one, and let me have the one want!"
Bart and Bob exchanged glances.
81 think we might risk it, Bob. Sure. Take
the one you want, Eileen"
As Eileen went out, carrying the pot of
azaleas hooded in white paper, lean. sad
looking man was staring into the window.
His dropping melancholy eyes gave her the
idea that he probably wanted flowers for
funeral.
When, later, Eileen climbed the two flights
of dark stairs to her studio apartment and
went in, she put on some coffee in the tiny
ktchenette and then returned to her drawing
board. She was commercial artist, and was
having hard struggle. This, and her love of
flowers, had established a link between Eileen
and Bart Faraday.
Bart, highly trained scientific horticul-
turist. looked upon the Faraday Flower Shop
as stepping stone to his real ambition -
nursery for the cultivation of rare chrysan-
themums. Eileen regarded her present work
as path that some day would lead to por-
trait painting.
SHE was wrinkling her nose at the drawing
pinned to the board when the buzzer an
nounced a caller downstairs Rather irritably,
she stood up and pressed the control. The
coffee was boiling and she pulled the plug out
just as her own bell rang.
Opening the door. she stood quite still for
moment, and stared
Bart Faraday was outside and he car
ried pot of azaleas!
why, Bart. IL wasn't expecting youl
Please come in"
Thanks" He seemed to be badly embar-
rassed. That's kind of you
He came in, and set the pot on a low Chi
nese table.
Would you like some coffee?'
II would, but I'm afraid haven't time

FICTION
THERE was nothing I'm
IL usual about the lus-

trous big car drawn up in
front of the Faraday Flower Shop. Eileen was
glad to see it, for Bart Faraday could do with
more of this class of client Whenever she
could afford to buy flowers she always bought
them there. But her modest buys would never
make Bart's fortune.
She was quite near when a big, thickset
man, noisily overdressed came out and opened
the door of the limousine. He paused, coolly
appraising her, from trim ankles up to copper
red hair as she drew alongside His smile was
intended to be one of approval.
Going my way?" he inquired. Happy to
offer you lift
mo. thank YOU
The mans smile had distended deep scar
which ran from his left cheekbone down
nearly to the corner of his mouth. He had
glittering teeth and fine, animal dark eyes.
Eileen hurried on, pulled open the glass
door and found herself amongst glowing
flowers, fragrant perfumes. She glanced back
through the window. The big man had got
into the car, was already driving away towards
Fifth Avenue.
She gave a sigh of relief He had seemed
the kind of man who isn't brushed off so
easily.
''OH HERE'S just what I'm looking for!'
Eileen loved flowers. IF can afford it!'
Bart joined her. a tall, Timber young man
with good head, rather unruly hair and
deep-set earnest eyes. Eileen had set pot
of pink azaleas on the counter.
Would three dollars break you?'
NO | could manage that"
She had always found Bart's prices lower
than Others but had never suspected that he
charged her less than anybody else.
Glad to know it, Eileen. Shall l send it
along?"
NO I'll take it with me"
She was opening her purse when Bob,
Bart's elderly assistant, joined them.
''Wait a minute, Bart" Bob held out
tab. That's sold Look!"
Stupid of me-" Bart glanced at Eileen.
Sorry, but Bob is right. This pot of azaleas
was sold just before you came in"
There's just one more out back" Bob
sai1 anxiously. Practically the same. Let
me show you"
He dived into some mysterious recess and
came out holding a second pot of azaleas.
The flowers were of slightly darker shade
and the pot was rather larger.
Not much difference, is there?"
Evening star., 1951-09-16

no, there's not a chance. l wish it hadn't
happened; but you II just have to tell the facts
to this absurd man. He's making a fuss about
nothing"
Bart sighed, and took up the plant.
Sorry had to trouble you. Please forgive
me-" When Eileen closed the door and re-
turned she found large bunch of violets on
the little Chinese table
Bart FARADAY drove back in the old station
wagon he used for delivering orders. AS he
pulled in to the front of the Flower Shop, the
big limousine pulled in behind him. He won
dered, for moment He had left his GUS
toner waiting in the store.
The man jumped out and slammed the door.
Fixed it?"
Sorry to say, nc"
Carrying the pot of azaleas, he held the
glass door open, and the big man pushed past
him roughly and then turned
Listen! What do you mean - no?"
Bart put the pot down. Bob came from
the rear of the store.
Il mean that Miss Carey -" He cursed
himself silently, for the slip. He didn't want
her name brought into it. MY other Gus
toner had already sent the flowers to some
one else. They were birthday gift
Who's this someone?"
Il don't know. can only say that regret
the mistake. I'll make no charge at all for
these, if you will accept them instead of those
you ordered. In fact ="
The glass door closed with bang. The big
man had gone, leapt into his car, was already
driving off!
''Well =" Bart gasped = What d. you
know about that?"
''Wait minute, Bob said tensely. when
you started out to go to Miss Carey's while
back, d. you know what he did? Tailed you!
What would he do that for?"
The glass door opened. A sad-faced, lean
man came in, his melancholy eyes veied by
dropping lids. Bart stepped forward.
Good afternoon, sir. What can l do for
you?"
Dropping lids were momentariIy raised,
then lowered again.
Kind of curious about your customer
one just went out. 1t was dull, tired voice.
"KnoW his name?"
I'm sorry, but don't"
The gloomy man flicked open lapel; a
shield glittered. "Brscoes the name. see

That's Tony Scarpa. He's big gambling
operator - and other things. Been in Europe.

"A pot of azaleas for lady,

"Ncole Day. She lives on -

She's Tonys steady. Guess the only one he
can trust, at that" He dropped card on
the desk Might call me if he steps in again.
Good-by, now" Police Lieutenant Briscoe
nodded sadly and went out.
