Rallying Power
In Stocks Lost
NEW YORK, Feb. 17-JF)-The
stock market lost Its rallying urge
today as many traders cashed pro
tits on Thursday's upswing. While
there were few weak spots in evi
dence, closing prices were irregu
larly lower. Declines were mainly
in small fractions. A number of
favorites emerged with modest
plus signs.
Best prices were witnessed in
the first hour when leaders got up
as much as a point. Light selling
soon intervened and most of the
list backed down after a number
I highs for the paat year or longer.

CHICAGO,' Feb. 11-(JP)-lm-
prored- - flour business injected
fresh strength into the wheat mar
ket today, with prices up as much
as cent at times. '
Trade remained quiet, however,
and when moderate buying cred
ited partly to milling interests
subsided prices backed down
slightly. Wheat closed unchanged
to 4 higher compared with yes
terday's finish. May 67 -6 8, July
68-.
Corn Unchanged
Corn was unchanged to low
er, May 48-, July 50H-U:
oats higher; rye 1A- high
er and lard 5 to 8 cents lower. ,
While removal of .hedges on
flour sales gare wheat a tempor
ary lift, there was little In the
news to encourage activity on eith
er side of the market. However,
dealers said apprehension of pos
sible crop scares during the win
dy season in the southwest is be
coming a factor.

"Envoy Extraordinary"
By E. Phillips Oppenheim
CHAPTER XXXm
"I hava had no diplomatic train
ing, Tour Majesty, for the more
. settled posts ia the International
world," Matresser reminded bis
companion, "and I am afraid that
the anonymity, which was the chief
reason for my success In some of
, those former enterprises; Is gone."
"That Is exactly what I expected
i you to say," was the smiling re
sponse. "But it is the Empire which
calls for the support of such men
i aa you. Matresser. I have marked
you down for India, Matresscr. That
is where I think you might continue
to serve your country without drop-
ping into the backwaters. . . . I shall
not detain you longer. I most place
myself in the hands of my hostess.
: I only wished jo meet you for a few
.moments ia private. Lord Matres-
: ser, to express to you my thanks
: for .what you have done and my
earnest hope that you will continue
to serve the Empire. . . Shall we find
Lady TringT"
- They walked side by side to the
door which the aides-de-camp had
been guarding. The King held out
his hand.
"If we do not meet again this
: evening," he said, "I hope you will
. think over what I have said,"
Matresser bowed, making suit
: able reply, and it was as he once
' more drew himself erect that the
moment (for which he had been
! secretly hoping) arrived. He looked
, straight into the eyes of Elisabeth
who, with her hand upon her uncle's
; arm, bad come to a standstill only
a yard or so away.
Matresser now was free to follow
his own impulses. He took a single
step forward aad bowed.'-
"I am glad to meet you, Baron
ess,- ne said. "Will you be so kind
aa to introduce me to your uncle? I
do not remember that we have met
formally."
Stamier held out his hand. "My
niece's ' introduction . ia scarcely
. necessary. It is perhaps fortunate,
as she seems to have lost her
.tongue," he observed, smiling. "I
am very happy to meet you. Lord
..Uatressetv If I say no more. I am
convinced tnat you understand.
- .: Matresser shook hands as Eliaa-
Beta. wrui a muaical ntUe laugh, re
cowed herself, while the Baron
made aa eager alga to a taO, very
much beribboaed diplomat who was
looking wistfully ia their direction.
-iouM A presume so far as to
wave my niece for a few minutes ta
rour charge. Lord Matresser?" he
becged. "You win excuse me, Elisa-
beta I our friend there has some
thing, I know, to say to me."
: Neither felt Inclined for plati
tudes.' Their alienee, however, was
: quite enough for Stamier who hur
ried away as they walked in the di
rection of some palms and seated
themselves upon a small settee."
"So you are willing to converse,"
ahe asked smiling, "with a sour-
dertss and a spy? .
. "I have met both ia my life." he
assured her. She looked at his med
als and he laughed.
"No, there are no important deco
i rations yet," he admitted, "bat then
I am only a clumsy amateur."
"And I am not a spy at all," she
declared. , I :- -.,-,.;,:.-.
-, "I have never accused you."
- "Nevertheless." ahe reproached
him, "you refused to take me away
with yea from that Utile aest of b
trims at llatresser." -----
"I knew quite wall," he replied,
"that you were not ia the slightest
danger. I myself was under govern
ment orders. It was Impossible for
me to take yoa away or to let yea
know where I was going." ; -
Government orders," she re
peated. "I do not understand." - .:
- "Nevertheless, t am telling you
the truth," he assured her. "That
plane was sent to take me to a ren
c'ezvQus ia the Ueteger Mountains.
lt sboc2j eras only aa excuse."
Esabeta looked at bias la astoav

ishment. She was
than he had ever
clutched his hand.
Toa must explain." she insisted.
"I cannot bear any more mystery."
"Ask me anything you will." he
replied.
"I know, of course, that you are
aa English nobleman," she said,
"but will you please teU me why
you were singled out for a special
audience alone you came out from
that retiring room with the King
and you were treated on all sides
with extraordinary consideration?
What have you done in life, to have
earned all tnat 7"
"Shot high pheasants with pre
cision at Sandringham," he replied
with perhaps a shade of bitterness
in his tone.
She had half risen to her feet, but
the touch of his fingers, slight
though it was, drew her back again.
"I beg your pardon," he apolo
gised. "That was flippant and un
true but you must remember that
you have already expressed your
opinion of me when I asked you once
a very important question."
"Was that opinion not justified?"
"It waa not justified."
Once more the curious sort of
numbness seemed to pass from her
expression. Once more she was alive.
She was breathing quickly.
"If that were true!" the murmured.
"It is true," he assured her. "What
ever I may have been, I have not
been aa idler. I have no government
appointment or anything of that
sort but it chanced that very soon
after the war. certain facts came to
my knowledge while I was ia a little
known part of North Africa, which
I passed oa to the government with
a few remarks of my own. Since
rthea I have undertaken work for
them work sometimes of slight im
portance; sometimes of moment"
She was looking at him, her moist
lips parted, her eyes fixed.
"Was it you who were ia Berlin
for nearly two months?"
"Yes."
"Was it you whom they sent out
to Africa?"
"Yea," ha admited.
"You were at Count Helm's shoot
ing lodge?" '
' "I returned from there this morn-
tag." he told her. "I flew straight
from Matresser to the Lodge oa the
aight I refused yoa as a passenger."
' She clutched his arm convulsive
ly; then she seemed to remember
where they were aad she drew
little away. , .
"I ought to have guessed," she
groaned. "There were ae many
things I could not understand von
Behrling oh, a score- of them!
v a a m at a .
never coma t nave believed that a
woman could be so foolish aa I have
been. If I had not seen you with the
King: if I had not watched the wav
he was talking to you, I might never
have realised. It was just because I
knew that yoa had the capacity for
so much more." ahe went oa. "that it
made me so bitterly angry when
they all talked about your being
liore Lieutenant of the County and
you spoke of your travels after wild
animals. . . Ana, too, she moat
have known more of you, yet ahe
accepted it so naturally. Where Is
Ann? Ia the here by any chance?"
HaTreaser shook his bead.
"She is spending the evening with
at ex-nflat"
"Tour ex-pflotr
He nodded.
: - "A vary charming yousr man.'
he confided, "who fetched me from
Norfolk, took me ever to my desti
nation and brought mo back again

ing ealled Pilot Number 17 but his
real name Is Prince Mauriea

She buried her face for a moment
la her bands.

Ho was s2rit for a aaogaeat, re
lieved of the weight of words, synw
pathizing with her distress.
"Explanations are such crude
things," he murmured. "I have been
very fortunate because the truth
has come to yoa by accident. It
needed no effort on my part to bring
you understanding. ... I wonder
how long we shall be left here un
disturbed." She raised her head and listened,
There was a deep hubbub of voices
beyond the screen of palms.
"Listen for a moment," she begged.
"It seems so strange to realize what
is happening all around us, how the
reverberation of tonight, this night
of crisis, and the conversation of the
last few days, all streaming across
Europe from that gathering where
you sat with the others all that ia

tory to the reestablishment of all
that we hold dear. Am I a little
hysterical. Ronald? You must for
give me."
I shall forgive you evervthina;
that there may be to forgive because
tonight I shall ask you once more"
She put her band in his.
"Do yon need to ask. dear?" she
interrupted, with a little break la
her voice and a fond gleam in her
eyes. "I am Austrian," she confided.
and emotion makes me hungry.
Have you to go back to the others
or can we find a corner together?"
Find a corner by all means." ho
replied hastily. "To tell (he truth,"
he added as they strolled rat,
"dinner didnt go very well with me.
I waa being cross-examined all the
time by a very earnest lady who had
serious political views. We will con
tinue to exchange confidences, but
confidences about ourselves just
our two selves. and all that is going
to happen to us."
The supper party t deum was so
much of a success that the sudden
intrusion of their host came almost
like a nightmare. Sir Francis, too,
seemed tr carry with him all the
suggestions of an overwhelming,
catastrophe. .
"Baroness," he aald, my dear
Matresser. I owe you a thousand
apologies for this inhospitable dis
turbance. Matresser. we need your
helpt"
Elisabeth raised ' her. eyebrows
slightly. Her first instinct of resent-;
ment showed itself dearly.
"Mr escort seems to be very much'
la demand tonight" ahe remarked
pathetically. -
Matresser himself, although he
had risen to his feet, showed some
signs of Irritability as he turned to
Sir Franda.
"Is it something really vital, sir?"
he asked. "It haa taken me so long
to find the Baroness and we had ar
rived at a stage ia our conversa
tion," "The matter,! Sir Francis as
sured, "is of urgency or I should
not have intruded. My wife is on
her way here to take charge of the
Baroness."
Matresser leaned towards , his
companion. "You win wait for me,
Elisabeth?" . ..
"It depends," she answered with
a slight trembling of the bp. "Per
haps this time yoa are going to
Tokyo or the other end of the world.
My patience has its limits t" 'i
"Please wait" he begged.
"That I promise," she replied.
Matresser was literally dragged
away by his. host
"Royalty has just deserted us."
the latter confided. "Driven home
I think, by the news. I want yoa
to come to my room, Matresser.
Atkinson, my secretary, is glued to
the telephone. Hem talking to Paris
aad is holding the line open." V
Matresser understood at oneaX
? "So the trouble is that way. is it?"
Sir Francis nodded. . Be looked
carefully, around but there was no
one within hearing. They had left
the room by the service door and
were descendicg the back staira.

Rlilliv Ordinance
Proposed
Local . dairymen and distribu
tors, meeting with representatives
of the health - department Thurs
day . night to go orer proposed
changes to Salem's milk ordin
anee to bring it up to date, favored
not only modernizing the ordin
ance, but careful enforcement of
provisions which will protect the
public
The changes, If adopted as pro
posed,' will bring the local law to
compliance with the federal stan
dard ordinance of 1939, and In
some instances will . surpass that
ordinance. For instance, the local
group wants a reduction in max!
mum bacteria count in B grade
milk dropped from 200,000 to
100,000 per cubic centimeter, and
also ask health examinations for
B grade shippers whose milk is
not pasteurized. Neither of these
are required by the fedral law
Other changes are also proposed.
The amendments are being pre
pared at the city health office
and will not be ready for presen
tation to the city council for three
or four weeks.
