VESTIRDAY; Immermoii, n.e trailer , ttrma agitated at the table conversation. After lunch, Felicia drives to Chicago to do tome chopping and Kay ooej Co th Poet Exchange, fmmermait if there buying a reatmcntal in sipnia tike the one connected With the first robbery. Chapter Five One Pating Guest f WANTED to tell Adam the in- cident but two second lieuten ant found me first and estab lished themselves firmly and duti fully at my side, addressing their attentions so obviously to the ma jor's girl that I felt about eighty instead of twenty-four. When Colonel Pennant arrived they sprang to their feet and moved chairs and carried drinks, then ef faced themselves like well-bred children, haloed with knowledge of duty well done. The girls. Colonel Pennant ex plained, were still in the city. "You couldn't get them to leave until the stores close," he went on cheerfully. "I long ago gave up trying to understand the feminine lust for shopping. And when you consider that they have the extra thrill of helping choose a trous seau, I shall be surprised if they don't get locked in. "Felicia is In town, too." I said I had yielded to his insistence and let him order a glass of sherry for me. I looked at him over it and thought again what an attractive person he was. I feel a little im proper being here in bachelor quarters without a chaperone. I don't believe I've thanked you and Mrs. Pennant for being so nice about letting me have rooms here. I assure you I won't abuse the privilege." He looked slightly shocked. "You don't need to tell me that," he said gravely, with a trace of old-fashioned gallantry. "We're honored to have you here. We're only sorry we couldn't offer you cur own hospitality. At any other time " He was going to tell me of the plans for the wedding, which was to ba in September, when the gong rang and we went in to dinner. Immerman was not there. A strange waiter took care of us. But I still had no opportunity to speak to Adam about him. The Club SO MANY tilings were to hap pen at the club during that fortnight that it occurs to me I should describe it in some detail. On some posts the bachelor quarter and the officers' club are separate, but at Fort Michigan they occupy the same building a big new building of grav stone, haped rather like a broad, flat tened letter H The main entrance, approached by a semicircular drive, is in the rtitral bar of the H. Across this section, from wall to wall of the flanking wines, stretches the glaed veranda fur nished m brightly patterned wil low, with a ping-pong table at one end. Behind the veranda is the large room usually furnished as a lounge, with easy chairs and read ing lamps and tablis invitingly spread with mnga-ines. but which is cleared for the forlmchtly hons the meetinss of the Ladies' Bridge Club and for occasional other, pri. vately given parties of the com. missioned personnel. From the rsneled walls of thu room framed oil paintings of officers in uniforms old and modern look benignly down. At the back of the lounge there la the broad main stairway and on either side of it a cloakroom and a powder room To (lie nsht of the lounge, as you enter from the street, is the chromium and red bar, its walls decorated with M UP MARKET New York, June 29 i-P Buying demand faltered in to day's stock market and many traders steppsd aside to awuit further developments in poll tics, business and the European war.

'w;, s-t: Adam seemed to bf everywhere at once. a photographle mural ef a caval ry regiment at the charge. Beyond the bar u the billiard room. The building faces north, to ward the parade ground, the dis tant barracks and, beyond that, the even more distant stables. The past wing overlooks a row of of ficers' quarters and the park and playground which stretches be hind them for perhaps a quarter of a mile to the lake and the of ficers' beach. The mess hall and the kitchen regions are on the ground floor of this wing. Abova them, and above the central struc ture, the bachelors have their rooms. The west wing is principal ly for guests. The guests are mostly army, too. Officers on leave from Mid dle Western posts, with their wives and families, spending two weeks or a month at the lake shore, living in firnished suites of two rooms and bath, taking their meals in the bachelor mess. Wives of officers on duty at the post send their overflow guests to the club. Visiting inspectors, of ficers en route from station to sta tion, may step there overnight. The accommodations are not in expensive, which is one reason, perhaps, why during this last fortnight in August I was the only paying guest. Jefferson Tack THE guest wing is approached from the lounge by a narrow corridor behind the bar and the billiard room, but it has its own doors at front and back for easier access to the street and the long garage' behind the club where cars are berthed. My suite was on the ground floor, on the ex treme northwest front corner, as far as humanly possible removed from the actual bachelor quarters. Next door to me was Felicia Bridewell's suite of rooms. My bedroom window and th side window of m;- sitting room overlooked the tennis courts. My front window faced the western boundary of the parade ground and the road in front of the club where it turned at right angles and passed Headquarters and the Post Exchange before it turned left again and led out of the post. I retired to my rooms when din ner was over and did not appear again until I heard Adam's voice on the tennis courts. Then 1 went out and sat on tha sidelines, watching. For a team that had not plaved together before. Gerald Beaufort and Adam were giving the post champions a little trouble. Col onel Pennant stood at the net and smashed grimly: opposite him. Adam's long arms and legs seemed to be everywhere at once, as if he had as many as a crab. Jeff Tack, taking it very seriously was putting everything he h.d in to his famous serve, and the Eng lishman was returning it with happily smiling ease and a cheer ful "Well played!" for every point scored ny his opponents. JnTerson Tack was the discon certingly grim young lieutenant that the Pennants were so fond of. He had sat at our table at din ner in the place usually reserved for Captain Jones who. someone said, had gone to Chicago to set his wife. JetT had bten no addition to the party, devoting himself al most exclusively to his food, re sponding briefly when addressed. i then lapsing into his customary silence. If he was excited about the imminent arrival of his fian cee he gave no evidence of it. I studied him now, contrasting him in my mind with two of his classmates who were playing mixed doubles with a couple of boarding-school kids on the next court. The two men, the two girls, bore an odd resemblance snut noses, round freckle spattered faces, brown arms and legs and something indefinable thai stamped them as immature. But not JefT.

Green made the recommenda tion in an address to the FBI sponsored national police acad emy. "I feel that we are inviting danger by permiting the com munist party and the nazi bund to continue to operate openly or secretly in this country against the interests of the United States," he asserted. He declared the federation he heads "never has been hood winked by communist, nazi or fascist propaganda" and added.
