ALAN stood in the basement of the museum and wiped his moist hands. His jacket {hung L osely, his shirt collar was unbuttoned, he wasn't shaved, and his brown, curly hair needed comb- ing. He did advertis- ing copy, and Ben was a poet, but Ben was far more practical in his un- orthodox way. If Ben had seen Mr. Brocker hurrying out of his office with a brief case in one hand and his hat in the oth- er, he wouldn’t be dismally staring at a museum of dead things. Ben would have come to life, for every- thing depended on ‘getting the Sayer msccount. It wasn't fair of Mr. Brocker to go dashing about like that. Sayer's jew- elry account was just another job to him. To Alan it meant everything. Or did it mean everything? By this time tomorrow Margaret would be married to somebody he had never seen, somebody with a 16-cylinder car and a yacht. “Anyway, it will be all over before long,” Alan had smiled desperately the night before as he sat with Ben, | who was biting the curved stem of his pipe. Alan had gone to Ben last, by to Margaret. “T'll help you!” Ben had said those words with so much intensity. The funny thing was, Alan hadn’t laughed. “Tomorrow night we'll do the logical thing. as illogical as it seems. We'll kidnap Margaret!” “Benny—do you know what you are saying?” But Ben kept on talking. Alan did not remember now whether he had laughed or had set his teeth. He must have done the latter. For he remem- bered he had agreed to met Ben some- where at some certain hour, and then, with everything carefully planned, they were going to kidnap Margaret! Alan had gone home to sleep, but he had tossed restlessly and got up early. Then he went to his littie office on the eleventh floor to get an idea for Sayer. No ideas would come to him, and as he was leaving the office he had seen fat little Mr. Brocker | hurrying. Mr. Sayer had frankly told him that Brocker was after the jew- elry account. Alan moistened his lips. Here he was standing in the basement of a museum looking at a girl who was peering down at one of the glass cases. Meanwhile, Mr. Brocker was tumbling in his roly-poly way to get the Sayer account; mean- while, Ben was waiting for him at some appointed rendezvous all set and determined to kidnap Margaret. Alan wondered what the girl, with | hair so deeply black there seemed a | bluish-green tint in it, was so intently | held by. | “Isn't it strange and beautiful?” the girl said. Alan wondered how it | was that he was standing next to her; | how it was that he, too, was staring | so entranced at a delicately carved | tower of tourmaline. “Tourmaline has strange qualities. | When heated its crystals exhibit a remarkable polarity. It is used in measuring the intensity of radium | emanation,” Alan said as though he were trying to sell the tourmaline. He, too, was staring. the night before, after saying good- | TOWER OF HOPE BY FRANK KERN LEVIN, “I dign’t know she said. “But if you look at { those small towers long enough it does grow real and one- . “Do you wander ; through the tour- maline tower &2\ alone?” Alan haz- | arded. | “There’s lxury ‘even in going alone. One goes into the tower of tourmaline as into mystery, “into the strange but most real. One is at last |with the rare, the preciously beauti- ful” She was ylooking at him with her very gray eyes. “I'm glad you've been going alone,” Alan said, and he asked what her name was, and she answered, “Elissa.” Alan saw that under the stained glass window was an archway that led somewhere, and he took Elissa’s hand. He had been in the museum a half dozen times, but he had never known of the place. They were in a little garden with a fountain in the center. Alan looked up and around. “I really believe—" Alan began | after a while. ‘Things seem tinted with green,” said Elissa, “as if really—" Alan put his arm around her. They met again the next evening. First they stared together at the tower of tourmaline. When they were out in the garden Alan laughed. Elissa | did not know why, but she smiled. Alan was remembering how angry Ben had been that afternoon. Ben had waited at the rendezvous until 2:30 in the morning. Ben had shouted, and Alan tried to explain that Mar- garet had been a mistake all along, but it was hopeless. “Though you don't know it, I got my first real account today because of something you said yesterday,” he told Elissa. “What did I say?” 1t seemed something had gone wrong between Mr. Brocker and Mr. Sayer. Mr. Sayer had called Alan up that morning. “The copy I have in mind will have distinct quality,” Alan had explained enthusiastically to the smiling and gray-haired Mr. Sayer. “Show the people the unreal world of mystery and wonder to which precious and rare gems can lead them; the life which, though strange, is the most real, and the key to which is con- tained in the preciously beautiful.” Mr. Sayer had continued to smile | as Alan finished breathlessly—Alan | realized now that the idea was alto- | gether unorthodox. But after a few | minutes passed Mr. Sayer told Alan | to go akead . . . “It's strange, but it seems when | one really discovers wonder it becomes a part of everything he does.” Alan | smiled by way of ending. “I hadn't realized it——" Elissa be- gan. | Alan was looking at her . .. “But it had been lonely, being all | alone in the tower of tourmaline,” | she finished.

STAR, BLUE BOOK BARES WANING NOBILITY Only 19 of 431 Foreign En- voys Here Rank Higher Than “Mister.”” By the Associated Press. Titles of nobility, which once dominated diplomacy, ars fading from the Washington sccne. Only 19 of the 431 foreign diplomatic en- voys and assistants listed in the State Department’s “blue book” boast more than “mister” before their names. The disappearance of titles from the corps is considered especially noteworthy since 14 of the 55 countries represented in Washington are mon- archies, and six others were until the World War.

Count Rudolf Strachwitz is second secretary of the German Embassy, and Count Pierre de Leusse, third secretary of the French Embassy.
