PAGE FOUR The Characters Peter Mallone: Adventurous newspaper correspondent. Petronella: His accomplished young sister. Tony Lance: British agent, the man Petrel loves. Yesterday: Demonstrations against the British bring the Mal- lones to Cairo, and Michael fol- lows Petrel. He bumps into Tonu Lance. Chapter 25 Almost Legendary EOPLE call her ‘The Petrel,’ Michael told Tony. Her bro- ther is special correspondent on our old rag, the News. Name, Peter Mallone. You may have met him? He’s a fine sleuth for trouble, Or else they both are. No one quite knows how much success he owes to Petrel. Whenever anything is going to happen, he and she turn upa full month or so ahead of most other journalists. People who know them say, ‘Hello, Something is up. Do you know who that is? The Petrel!’ They’re nearly always right. It’s certainly a good name for her.” Tony Lance sat listening, his face averted from the lounge. Michael did not notice that he was tense with interest. He was too much occupied with watching Petronella, until the elevator closed its doors upon her. He turned to Tony, and went on. “She started going around with him when he was a war corres- pone went everywhere with im; saw him through fantastic scrapes. She used to ride a motor- cycle. Once in the Balkans, she] f, carried one of his dispatches to the frontier, dressed as a peasant girl, telephoned it to his paper, and arrived back in time for dinner with the censor! Of course, the stories About her have grown like rolled snowballs, but she’s the pluckiest thing I've ever met. It isn’t as if she enjoyed danger. She doesn’t. She told me so. There was a time, during that shindy in Dan- zig, in 1933, when she nearly threw it up to go home and marry a man she didn’t love. But she could not do it. She’s in love with some man who doesn't seem to come up to seratch. She adores her brother, and was made faithful.” Tony told him. “I know her, Mike. I've met her. Twice, when she was very young. Then at a arty you gave in’ your flat in mdon.” Michael looked startled, then curious. “Why didn’t you say so before? Why, of course, I remember! You commandeered her and saw her to Victoria Station. That was be- fore I realized she was out of black stockings and a gym dress. I met her nearly two years later, in Rome, ‘and. fell flat for her. Tony, she’s very sweet, a lovely person. Though she’s sophisticated, she’s childish, in some ways. That was why, last Christmas, y thought I'd landed her. She wanted to forget the other fellow. I thought she had. T was too sure of her. I let her get away. Now. we're just friends. Here they come. What did I say?” Like grayhounds, when the shut- ters fly up, showing the track, and the electric hare before them, five men rushed out of the lift, and threw themselves across the lounge. Tony recognized Masters, of the Echo, Tim Cocper, of the Express Mail, Peter, with his eager red head, and blue eyes. Petronella Mallone followed up the rear more slowly. Masters collided with a waiter, and sent two glasses flying. She apologized. Peter's hip sent a chair rolling on its side, and the contents of a ladv’s handbag spread themselves on the floor. He called back over his shoulder, “Terribly sorry!” Petre] helped recover the coins, powder, lipstick. She went into a corner of the lounge, and awakened a press photographer, who. camera at his side, dozed be- neath a newspaner. She sent him stumbling out after them. “You see!” smiled Michael. He stood up. “Excuse me, will you? They seem so excited, I think I'll just ask her what's up, and per- & “Petre! ” Michael went to meet her. ‘Shock Of My Life’ ELLO, Mike!” But even as she turned, she saw Tony Lance. Her hand went to the back of the nearest chair, and held it. She stood quite still, looking past Michael, Straight into his eyes. For a mo- ment, Tony thought she was goin to faint. But in a second, her min had adjusted itself. She smiled. Her lips said, “Yes, Mike?” He heard her telling him: “The police are trying to stop demonstrators from coming into the city over the Nile Sue ‘There aren’t enough of them. I think there is going to be horrible ae unless they re reinforced. I was at Shepherds. ir. Wallis came in, hurt. He said the students were all armed with sticks and iron bars, and hitting the police over the head and shoul- rosie as they rode. He thought they would be forced to open fire. Michael} listened, but he looked from her face to Tony’s with a puzzled expression. “You know Tony ce, Pet- tel?” He spoke stiffly. Something was up between these two. Re- served devil, why couldn't he have Said something just now, instead letting him go fulsomely on it her? If La! hadn’t seen = the day n't they bebate like Horm and say something? along, Tony?” BENTON, Ill.—Mrs. Joel Craw- | | i ford of this city testified in‘ “No, I think Ill stay.” He left | them together. For a moment they stood facing | one another. Then he took her arm, “Come and talk to me.” “Td rather not.” “You've no choice,” They sat down, “You've given me ae biggest | shock of my life, Petri “What do you think you’ve given 2?” “But I haven't changed. You | have, Let me sit and look at you. | When you came in just now, Mike | Maried! telling me about you. | I’ve been imagining you living g quietly in En, apne Married, probably. Instea But he saw that she did not be- lieve him. She was right. He had visualized her in England, but not married. Often, he had told him- self, “she is grobably married. She has probably made her life with- out you.” But he had never been able to believe it, Her gray eyes met his, steadily. She ought to feel pride. She ought to tell him lightly of all the things her life had held for her, while he was not there; how easily she did without him. But she ase, simply. “Tony, I’m very glad to see you again. 1 began to think I never foe I forgot what you looked ike. “I. told myself. you'd probab’ for rotten my existence. But n't believe myself, Does that Pei you very much?” She smiled and shook her head. “One thing about you, you always start a little in advance of where you left off!” “What is the use of Pretending humility I don’t possess? Your eyes ‘ound me out just now. At once. It isn’t any use lying to you. You | know perfectly well the effect have on me.” She felt lost. time she dared not believe he | meant a word more than he said. Rebellious “WTEN, you see me!” she mock- ed. “Thank you for the roses in Moscow. Apart from that, you didn’t take much trouble to re- mind me! No, humility isn’t your | failing.” “Pye been in Arabia and Abys- sinia.” “T know.” “But, Petrel, I thought of you as a different’ person. Saw your future differently. You used fA be | simple, with strong natural in- stincts. You were intended marry a steady husband, have charming children, and live amongst them in a Peaceful Eng- lish home and garden.” “Most women seem eminently | suited for exactly the same But lls, doesn’t work out so that | they gt them.” no idea, after sould pe ht | those cousins eas out of that you'd ever wish to lave ome again. Somehow, I didn’t hear the things Mike has just been telling me about you. Apparently you're almost legendary. The Petrel!” “Michael exagaeraied, They all > do.” But she could not help feeling the warmth of triumph. She met | him now upon level ground. “Funny! Do you know you called me that first? In Rangoon!” He leant forward. His eyes met hers searchingly. He wanted the truth. Truth which he guessed aleady, thought Petronella resent- ‘es, but it ought never to have | bea a prophecy. Whose fault was it, Petrel, that you grew to the | name? Mine? Or was it Fate?” Why should she admit such a | possibility, why should she trust him again? She was rebellious. He had left her before, when he was sure of her. He might do so again. Years had passed, but she still felt that she knew Tony Lance, utterly. Anything he had done, he might do again, to,hurt her. She believ like Pet@® when he let Marigol go, thet Tony acted as he thought best, for them both. But he would never. consult: her. He: rated! the intelligence of women, in an emo- tional crisis, just as Peter did. Low! She answered slowly. “Not fate, Tony—circumstances. At first, it was Peter’s fault. He was imprisoned in Germany. I: rushed over by air, and with the | help of German friends, and Brit- | ish pressure, managed to get him released. The same Germans who were so kind to me then are stay- ing in this very hotel now. At least, the Baroness von Cratzis here. Her - nephew, René, is arriving in a few days’ time. He has turned out to be a very good pilot. He is flying | here, from his last happy hunting ground. Somewhere on the Dal- malay coast, I think. You'll like She watched him, but Tony’s ex- pression gave her no reason to believe that he knew, or had heard of René. Petronella had not even | told Peter René’s secret. “After that, my Aunt, who brought us up, died and left me most of her money, Peter the rest. At first, Peter was only brilliant in patches, Son He could get a story in a marvelous manner. But he did not handle it Properly, or see it through. I coul ord | to travel wi him, sol a along. | I think I helped him, But for over a year now, he hasn't relied on me like that longer. Now, tm just his right-hand woman.

The truth of the matter is that} our national foreign policy is inj | process of developing, with no| one, even the President himself, | being able to defniitely outline what this government will do un- | der. all the circumstances that | might arise. The world itself is| ; in a precarious condition, unlike anything in our generation, and slowly the nations take cogniz-, |ance of new situations. The conflict between totali-; |tarian and. democratic states is; not entirely new but it is to be ‘noted that. .Germany, Italy andj Japan are working together to! secure the fundamental readjust- ments of territory and the po- litical and economic concessions that they want. To gain their ends these three nations are not! only arming themselves but they | are subordinating every phase of |domestic existence to gain mili- | tary power. To anyone who keeps up with developments, such as Japan’s! naval expansion, German mili-; tary preparations and the air activity of Germany and Italy, it: is plain as daylight that these | | Powers plan to use their force, | | if necessary, to secure what they | want. In each of the three coun-; tries the people are subjected to} }stress and strain to support the: national objectives and. the or-} | ganized activity of the nations, | together with all. resources, are; jbeing mobilized frankly to put! them on a fighting basis. It would bea far different pic- | ture if either, or all, of the pow- | ers adopted a dictator form of; government, instituted infernal} reforms and set about to live at | Peace with the world. Such is] not the case. The re-arming, the economic plans and tHe propa- | ganda spread among their peo- ples are justified in order to make others give them what they | term their natural rights. \ In this world situation the peo- | ple of the United States are con- | « seccccccveccecsecoecoces ISLAND POEMS | (Following is the work from the pen of Barbara Greene (Mrs. Henry Pinder) of Key | West.

In Con- | gress, there is abundant support of rearmament but a slow ac- |ceptance of the necessity of a |new orientation in world affairs. There are reasons for this re- luctance. Behind us is a long record of avoiding foreign en- tanglements, of depending upon the two oceans to protect us from invasion and of neutrality toward the quarrels of the rest of the tion there are millions of indi- viduals who are closely identi- fied with other nations. Ameri- 'cans of German and Italian de- ‘scent, for example, find it diffi- cult to accept the new word pic- ture and continue to view Euro- pean affairs in the light of their ancestry. They are not disloyal to the United States and as the will, almost without exception, back the American Government to the limit. Moreover, in the United States ;there exists a profound love of peace, with a realization of the {futility of war. Sincere men and | women, with great zeal, denounce janything that looks like accept- ance of war philosophy. They jare sure nobody will attack us, they would set the world the ex- ample of love and they are sure that it will ultimately triumph. |Their very earnestness makes any political situation arising {out of foreign affairs and defense |preparations. Gradually, ‘how- ‘ever, in our opinion, this import- | f ant group is concluding that the cause of peace will be best serv- ed by a strong nation, prepared to defend its faith under any out- side attack.
