"Strike one, George," breathed the girl. "Would you mind telling me what you're going to do?" Fox aaked po litely. Wlllett ehrugged. "How do I know? Start off for the docks and take my cue as I go along. The ship clears at noon tomorrow." Allaire flicked her clgaret Into the shadows. He was right Thinking dragged at speedy action. Step on the gas and catch the signals as you sped by. "Do you want to go along, George?" she asked lazily. "Or hear about It over the radio?" "So long," Wlllett said, Two men looking at her one as tonished, the other with downright ippreliension. "Huh?" said Wlllett uncertainly. "Go along?" "She's funny that way," Fox said rapidly. He felt a little Irritated. Somehow they made him feel like the kind of a person who put his feet In hot water and a mustard plaster on bis chest every time there was a fraught. Her amused glance goaded blm Into going on. "Lay off the lone wolf stuff, Terry. Tomorrow " "Tonight," said Wlllett, not even looking at him, "they're loading the farajalbo.'" His eyes were on the tin. Tonight! Always tonight! Fox was a man In a leaky rowboat buck ing a strong current, and be knew It "Are you serious about going?" His voice was elaborately casual. "Beccuse It you are I'll have to go with you, 1 suppose." . He grinned. "Rule One of the efficient Foreign Officer "Promoting and protecting the Interests of the United States and lu citizens.' " "Yeah," drawled Wlllett, "so they tell me. Hildez will swoon when he sees those clothe-. Better get a coat George." TOX nodded and strode away up the path toward the Legation Club. Wlllett watched him go, and then turned quickly to the girl. "So long," he said, holding out his hand. "You're not waiting for him to come back?" He shook his bead. "Leaving by s side gate. It there was sny trouble old George would be caught In a bad spot." Ho smiled. She liked bis smile, white teeth In the bronze of his face, and his eyes crinkling at the cor ners. ' stay away from docks at night" he said eRslly. "No bsnds playing or people waving lust some damn fools stumbling over packing boxes and wishing they were diplomats" He dropped hor hand and turned away; lenvlng behind something that bad hit him queerly and passed.

His own hand tentatively touched a slight bulge under his left arm. Good medicine for the docks at Rosina B. A lovely girl In evening gown poor Fox had perspired blood. He went out at the side of the Le gation Club and balled an ambling carriage. As a child she had loved to follow parades, chase a brass band and the tread of marching feet. And when the ring in the air passed she had always felt the surge of a desire to keep alive that note of spirited rhythm somehow. The gardens were very quiet, but a note still rang. A thin-lipped young man had come and gone; come her aided by a shaking Embassy runner, and gone with a grin tor the wel fare of an attache. She knew she had seen a 'parade and the gardens were very quiet. SHE got np restlessly and went back to the lighted Legation Club, slipping through a door on the terrace Into a swirl of muslo and the scrape of feet smell of starched holding out his hand. shirts, and cocktails, and perfumes. She surveyed the scene estlmat Ingly a moment, balancing It against thousnnds of others, and then moved straight through a poll to 1) Impor tuning stag line toward the conser vatory.

"Y'know, darling, the lamp of reason kind of backfired on you. didn't It? Why?" Why? Fox didn't care to tell her the reason. Knowledge like that with Allaire West might be fatal. He rec ognized a merciless strain of quick silver In this girl wbo had learned to ask favors from nobody. The lamp of reason he'd never lost It. He only knew that the one thing In the world she recognized was action, quick, spontaneous ac tion. And sincerity was a keynote to George Fox's character. He knew perfectly well lie was falling In lova with her. "I could chase after him ," he be gan. "Don't," she advised briefly. "I don't think he liked the Idea of hav ing you tag along." Her eyes were kind, however. He was nice, he had etyle and somothlng the rest ot this crowd didn't have. A certain boyish earnestness, perhaps. But attaches don't risk prowling around docks. "Thore's LaMarr dancing with Nell," she said suddenly. "I despise LaMarr; he's followed us from Buenos Aires like a scavenging shark in the wake of t ship. Do go forth to war, George, and unhorse yon varlet" He hesitated a moment. There was yet lime for him to dash out into the darkness like a new edition of Svengall at a fifty-cent matinee. Then he took oft his coat and slung It Into a chnlr.

(AP) John Chambers, manager of The Dalles water office, said today that snowfall Is three feet under that of a a salute to the harbor fort and in return the Dutch governor ordered a salute to the American ship. This Incident, unimportant except that It wna the first time a foreign power had saluted an American flag, set In motion a chain of events that cost the Dutch 919,000,000, ruined the Island economically, and probably saved the American revolu tion from failure. Outside Orangetown lay the Brit ish fleet commanded by Admiral Rodney. When he heard that the Dutch had saluted the American flag he demanded an apology.
