The maid tore her eyes from the blond giant whose presence domi- nated the room and withdrew hastily. ‘Willlams murmured some conventional excuse’ and followed her out. ‘Ann, darling!” Two lomg, eager strides and his arms were about her slim figure. “Everything all right?” “Of course, Philip.” They moved apart as her husband returned. John Williams walked across the room, a certain dignity compensating for his lack of inches. “I have ordered tea,” he told them. “You will join me? Thank you.” The tea things were brought in. They sat down. “After all,” mused Williams, stirring meditatively, “there’s something to be; to his feet. said for civilization. For example, it enables me to sit here and pretend that my world is not in ruins.” Hughes smiled condescendingly, drained his cup and grimaced. Ann, glancing at the mantel clock, hurriedly followed suit. “Heavens!” She made a wry face. “What awful tea!” Her husband lifted his cup and| drank deeply. Hughes stood up. “Come, Ann.

He refilled his cup from the earthenware -teapot, then took a small brown bottle from “This,” he explained, “is the ‘anti- dote.” His wife relaxed somewhat but the explorer sat rigid, tiny beads of moisture on his forehead, eyes follow- ing every move Willlams made. The latter poured the contents of the bottle —a white powder—into his tea and stirred it vigorously. “All I have. But it's enough to ef- fectually counteract the poison. “For ome of you only,” he added. There was a silence, then: “I think you are insane,” said Ann, | finally.

POLAND AIDS DANZIG Bolsters Finances in Return for Political Ties. | FREE CITY OF DANZIG, June 12 (#)~Poland has agreed to lend finan- | cial aid to this distressed free city, it was reported last night, but in re- turn will so tighten her grip on Dan- »ig that the Nazis may find it hard to break. While official quarters refused to econfirm the reported agreement, it was believed it would be announced— in as mild terms as possible—when the Volkstag (lower house) convenes. The Volkstag’s session was originally set for 5 pm. today, but invitations had not been issued last night. Arthur Greiser, Nazi president of the Senate, returned from Berlin last evening apparently empty. handed after the Reichsbank turned down his appeal for funds to boister the falter- ing gulden.
