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.
A portion of yesterday's rally
seeped into the list at the start

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.

Congressional action to outlaw

nazi bund was advocated today
by William Green, president of
the American Federation of La

danger by permiting the com

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

Strang as it seems, science has new learned the trick ef freeslng light and storing It lot
future usel Thin plates, about the sit of cigar-box covert, are treated with fluorescent materials
and then bombarded with x-rays. Atoms of the lluorescent materials are excited and store up the
invisible light of the x-rays. If left in room temperature, they would soon give oif visible light.
Before this can happen, the plates are submerged in flasks containing liquid air at a tempera

leased by withdrawing the plates, say General Electric technicians.
