Chapter 18 René TH! Air Service bus jolted into |'h the great city. Berlin! Wide streets, heavy stone houses, poor- ly dressed, unsmiling people, uni- farms everywhere, no flowers. Petronella sat beside a window. ‘The dark Latin youn; the wh had taken upon Yims escorting her, pointed An of interest, as they went. Ir sh had been feeling less anxious, she might have enjoyed his company. He was attentive, amusing, so ood looking, she thought, glanc- ing. again’ at him, that he was al- most beautiful. His straight, thick hair was brilliantined. One lock dell across ‘his forehead. It gave him a wild, artistic air. He was pale, with straight features, and soft dark eyes. It was strange, thought Petron- ella, that nature should have given him such large, nice, ungesticulat- ing hands, ‘At first, when she had allowed him to get into conversa- tion with her, she had judged him \ fo be a professional dancer, 4 dress designer, or. even a young man connected with the bailet. But his hands seemed to rule out these protean. His. name, she had earned, was René Howard. He was French, on his mother’s side. He had inherited everything from her, she thought, except his fists. They were “Howard.” He was so charming, that she had told him her errand. But she had not ad- mitted that Peter had done any- thing to merit imprisonment. Now, he said suddenly: “Miss Mallone, lunch with me at my hotel, the Frankfurt, to talk a little. I believe I can help you, if you will.” Petronella’s brows lift- ed a fraction. She met his eyes. But he was smiling with such amusement, and laughed so infec- tiously at her expression, that she was compelled to laugh herself. “You need not be afraid. I have no Sot designs. Please trust my good- will.” “All right, I'll believe you, but I don't quite see——” “You have not asked me what I do for my living, Miss Petronella Mallone. Now, see, I throw myself on your kindness with confession. I do nothing! I am a slacker, a sponger, a barnacle. Therefore 1 have plenty of time to interest my: self in the affairs of other Leay Some say harder things than tl of me, but I would rather you did not believe them. I am the blue- eyed boy of a particularly wealthy aunt of mine. She is a lonely old woman. She travels continuously She is exhilarating company. She is rather a gay old woman. I am to be her heir. So we travel to- gether. Our relationship is contin- ually misunderstood, but I do not care. I have tried steady Jobs, and { do not like work. People can think what they please. We sel- dom meet the same people, for more than a month. Except in Ber- lin. My aunt has an apartment in the Wilhelmstras. She knows many influential men in Germany. If anyone can help you to see your brother, she can. Since she is always threatening to write her autobiography, this gives her con- siderable influence.” Some illusive change in René, while he was home. She was seated at a littered desk in an immense room. purple velvet, ivory lac heavy, old-fashion was wearing match and shé ‘its over. Bocdee dusty splendor, The 3aroness had white hair, ee remarkable ower ot the top’of her head.

He spoke satel ‘as if, dinning facts into a head. “And you will invite Gen- eral Furoff to have supper with us | at ne Adlon, tonight, Aunt: Fleur?” The Baroness looked at René, | “Very well,” she said. Almost as | if, when he made her a autettio it was a command, thought Petrel’| puzzled. “Did you bring me the beauti- | ful handbag you promised René?” she asked. “You did not | soe o. It is in my suitcase.

He had realized: “The walls are gray. There are no Howe ers.” Peter was dressed in ro weave prison uniform. His rig) arm, which hurt him at the shit The windows in this der, with a dragging, wearying | pain, was in a sling. Outside, it was a gloriously hot early September day. But in despite the shafts of sunshine, still felt cool. The walls must be very thick. It must be deadly cold in the winter. How long would they keep him here? When would he next be grilled with questions, by those angry, steel-eyed men, by the stuffed and officious Prussian officers, in the little office down the | maze of stone corridors? Had they. believed a“word he said? Did think him dangerous, or harmless’ He could not tell. iS: crable German, he had done his best to sound a fool.

But some of eof thelr questions had been awkward. Why had he thought it worth while going, since he zapoke so little man? Why had he taken such terest in political affairs in Ger- | many.

Bush, who boasts a long list of! |records interspersed with a bril-} liant golf teaching career, is en- | thusiastic about his partner call- ling him an amateur, “as good as any in the southeastern district”. | | Lopez has a sound game from ‘tee to green with few weak spots. | He holds the city champion and | has played in a number of state tournaments, placing very high. |Bush holds the Norway, Maine, record with a 28 out and 33 in scores for a par busting 61, low- est score recorded in the North- eastern States.
