@HURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1939 Peter Mallone: Adventurous correspondent for the London News. Petronella: His loyal sister. James: Petrel’s fiancé. Yesterday: Petrel and James announce their engagement, but @ fortune teller says that Petrel ‘will soon go to another, lover in @ troubled country. Chapter 35 § © The Gipsy’s Prophety N° SOONER had Peter gone to Spain, than the full storm broke, the revol. started os from the North African iy landed their foreign seclonsisad ons PSE and seized the piov- ince of Huelva. Soon, the rebels held control of Spanish Morotco- the Canaries, the Balearic Isla! most of southwest Spain. and Na- varre, the large area north of Ma- drid. In Madrid itself, Petrel read, there were many with insurgent sympathies, so that lorry loads of Militiamen, bristling with arms. patrolled the streets. Private. com- mandeered cars. spilling Militia- men from steps and wings, dashed up and down Calle Acala, searched houses suspected of harboring F’as- cists, and fired at those appearing in their windows. if the search had roved unsuccessful. Orders were roadcast, dismissiny officers of the army from heutenants. up- wards. Martin Rowdgfjfieard the rattle of Militia mac! ine guns, at- tacking the Montana: Barracks. above the heavily censored report which Peter's voice read to him, from the press room She read Pe- ter’s dispatches. Once, he man- aged to fly over, to the French side of the frontier, where the beaches were still filled with holidaymak- ers, who sat “watching the war” He sent photographs. to his paper. which he had obtained in France. of the rebel troops under General Davila, attacking Irun. They showed peasants in blue overalls. slung rifles. and red berets: Carl- ists in khaki, with white skiing socks. and Sam Browne belts: wo- men, who had joined in the rebel- lion, and were armed. like men. Soon after Peter made this expedi- tion, they learned that his plane had been commandeered by the Government forces. Petronella met some of the refu- gees, among them, he _ friends the Lorillos from Madrid. They ar- rived at Victoria Stat:or. with the equivalent of a few pounds, in pesetas. a pathetic bundle of clothes, and two tiny suitcases. This was all they had been able to save from the beautiful villa which she remembered as their home. She remembered that they had a son. “Where is Emilio?” “We do not know, Miss Mallone. He is fighting. It was his duty.” the mother answered. She accepted Petronella’s invitation to stay at the cottage, with a storm of grate- ful weeping. Peter had managed to send a letter by these friends. Tt had escaped the censor. In it he said: “Tony has turned up. so we're both staying at the ‘Bristol.’ see a good deal of each other. It is lucky for me. He has a friend fn the Telefonica building. and I may find it easier to make. and receive calls, with his influence. He says pain will be an international bat- tle ground, befor. this grim busi- ness is settled I asked him if he had any message for you, old dear. I know you'll want to know his an- swer. He said. ‘Mv congratulations, that’s all. But he talked about you. He said it seemed odd to find me alone. He feels. as I do, that you've chosen to io the most sane thing you could. With such a job. he couldn't help making you a pos husband. And even though he loves you, he couldn't give it UP. But he wants vou to be happy.” “Even though h: loves me,” thought Petronella, and tried, but failed, to feel scornfu" of Tony’s exaggeration. Staring Headline *TSEREAFTER, Peter'@letter was long and :nteresting, filled with calmly stated details of the révolution. The fact that no censor stood beside him. finge: on switch, had not tempted him to sre ate. One or two scenes of b! ity. which he had seen, he recorded. But the letter gave an impression of truth, which other rideapaet headlines, announcing widesp: atrocity, had not. Martin Rewiion thanked Petrel, when he reeeived three of the four sheets, and pub- lished most of it as an “uneen- sored letter from Spain.” The news became worse. Despite Peter’s pri- vate assurance that “most of the bombs they are droppi: ober and do little damage,” Petronella found it impossible not to be anx- ious. In the streets, few yards, Peter was teld to arriba,” hands up, and had his pa: pers examined. James was very understanding of her wretchedness. This key the first real danger Peter had en- countered, since she left him. He knew her su| titious fear that fate might, se ty, separate them from one an- other permanently.

Our legal enactmentS should be respected. % | The oath of office, which supposed to be a serious cere- noes binding our officials to | strict {regulations ‘of constitutional gov- ‘ernment, is frequently swept aside as meaningless. We are supposed to be govern- ed by laws and not by men. Of- ficials are not supposed to have the right to” ignore ‘enactments that they have sworn to enforce. No one ever takes an official po- sition without swearing to uphold the laws of this government by every means in his power. Many of our officials have re- cently assumed the role of a die- tator. When laws are infringed, they make no effort to enforce them if not to do so is to their advantage. If, for political or oth- er reasons, they consider it desir- able to ignore these infractions of our legal codes, they apparently consider it their privilege. Their oath of office is often forgotten. We are a lot of dumb victims of the lawmaking habit. Our leg- islators seem to think that any- thing can be remedied by this means. And perhaps it issneces- sary to make another law defin- opens itely stating ‘that it is the duty of officials to honor their oath. of office. \ ‘The recent. wave of vidjent jSthikes could ‘not ly have ‘occurred if the laws of the va- rious states had been properly, enforced. Strikes in some in- stances were called by a small minority of the workers, and jthrough threats and intimidation plants were closed. As to the rank and file of la- bor—the majority are not by any means in favor of such lawless- ness. The sympathy of the gen- eral public, which is so important to workers, will disappear with the continuation of such policies.

And this administration has removed some af these signposts. it is apparently desirous of re- moving neaily all’of them. It has dot only ignored the rules of con- stitutional government, but it is apparently desirous of changing or removing the regulatory pow- er of the United States Supreme Court. This clearly manifested on frequent occasions. The administration would apparently like us to aban- don the guide which has shown us the safe and sound road to the continuance of our freedom. It would apparently like us to start on a new road, without signposts of any kind, without regulations - We would then be on our way but we would not know where we were going And it seems difficult for peo- ple to understand that the United States Supreme Court does not make our laws. It is governed by instructions that are so clear and dependable that it is difficult for \“SURPRISE NIGHT’ GREATLY ENJOYED Key West Lions Club “Surprise Night” was presented to a good turn-out of residents last night at the Palace Theatre. The produc- tion was given to raise funds to help defray costs of the club’s Community Center project. Between regular features, using amplifying system of the theatre, member Lions presented three main features: Country Store, with distribution of over one hundred prize awards; a musical treat furnished by Paul’s Ha- waiian Quartette, compliments of Fred Marvil’s Cabana, and Pro- fessor Quiz, leading a question- naire having to do with guessing tunes as played by am augmenta- tion of John Pritchard’s orches- tra. Lion “Nevy” Armayor per- formed admirably as Professor Quiz.
