The question of whether or not the city of Key West is going to benefit from the publicity attendant upon the “strang- est of all legal cases” being bandied in corner conversations is around street lately. For the moment, to be sure, the eyes nation are focused on our city, if not more so, however, upon the man, Karl Tanzler von Cosel, the cause of the pub- licity mow issuing forth to all newspapers. ht there, one can see, is where it can be safely stated that no lasting pub- licity value can be attached to the story of an aged scientist who kept the remains of s dead sweetheart in his home for seven Future visitors will perhaps think West in terms of—“Oh, yes, this is that strange case came to light’. But they will not have been drawn to the ause of that story. | Strange case or not, however, the fact { remains that Key West receiving a of publicity at the moment. the facts | of t years. of Key where city be is ‘large dose” who are we to disown any of surrounding the cause.

GERMAN RULE IN ITALY Before Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in Benito Mussolini was the big noise | irope, and talked much about Italy’s s a conquering nation. But in re- | years Hitler has overshadowed Mus- solini, and many believe that Germany may eventually dominate Italy. It may be recalled that German the Italian | last 1,500 | years. In the 5th century the old Roman | empire was broken to pieces by successive in the of early German crowned em- ; year 800 the greatest rulers, Charlemagne, was | peror by the Pope in rome. Then during thé existence of the so- called Holy Roman Empire, which con- tinued with varying degrees of power for nearly « thousand years, the emperors | In fact, its official title was “the Holy Roman Empire of the Ger- man Pecple.”” These German rulers often | exerted little real authority, however, and the history of what is now Italy, like that of most of the rest of Europe, is one of al- | most continuous strife and warfare. After the World War internal condi- tions in Italy became increasingly des- perate, and to avert the threat of civil war King Victor Emmanuel appointed Mus- solini as premier in 1922, believing him to be the countr, strongest leader. Under Mussolini considerable material progress was made, but whether his alliance with Hitler will benefit Italy i¢ very doubtful. There are jndications of the possi- bility that Italy:may-once more come un- der German domination, regardless of the | outcome of the present war.

You see, I had a bit of bad suck. Mrs. Pennant’s car was “gone,--but she was at home. The colonel phonea the sentry at the gate, and he said the ear had left tl.e post not ten minutes before, headed for Chi- cago. He didn’t know who was driving, nor whether there was more than one person in the car. “I thought you had that story, and that your life was in danger. re- For all I knew you might have] ,, been kidnaped. It didn’t even oc- cur to me to look for you at the club. You see, I quite lost my head. I started in pursuit, while Colonel Pennant notified the state police. Not until I had left did anyone think of Julia, and when y went to look for her, she} gone, too. They decided you | were together, and their anxiety abated. They waited for me to bring you back. Actually, of course, it was a wild-goose chase. Julia had soon turned off the highway and was driving about on the back roads. It was a fool thing to do, without telling anyone, but I gather she was in a state of mind. I got-baek just be- fore she did. and when I found out you-and: she had quarreled. of-course I thought of the club.” | He paled. “I got there just in| time,” he said grimly. “I was tiptoeing along the corridor, won- dering where to look for you, when I heard your scream. The killer took to his heels when 1; broke the door down —he had| dropped his gun, evidently in a} fall, and had no time to look for it. I thought at first he'd killed you. I went through the bedroom after him—he got out a window. I saw him making for the garage —saw a moving figure, anyway. I shot him. Meant to kill him at the moment, but he’ll not get off so easily, I'm glad to say.” “You—you were armed?” “I'm always armed.” He unbuttoned his impeccably tailored suit coat and showed me the butt of a gun nestled under his arm. I should never have sus- pected it was there. He buttoned the coat again and I could detect no slight bulge to betray its presence. Gerald’s Goodby REALIZED that I was staring and dropped my eyes.

I was so thrilled I expect I looked half witted. “Then you savei mv life,” said tritely. “And risked your ew to do it. If he had been armed—” “It would,have been worth my | life if I hadn't,” said Jightly, | “Think I was anxi to face] Adam?

He stood aside and watched Gerald out of the room, but he said not a word. He watched un- til Gerald’s footsteps diminished into silence. Then he came over to the bed and just looked at me. “That fellow’s in love with you,” he said accusingly. I raised eyebrows. Adam’s Arms UST what was your mission in New York?” I asked po- litely. Abruptly his annoyance faded. A teasing smile twitched his lips. His eyes sparkled. ° “A few blondes, a few night- clubs. Is that what you mean?” I leaned on one elbow and thumped the pillow. “What did you accomplish?” I demanded bitterly. “You're not belittling blondes as an accomplishment? They’re }second only to redheads — all jright, all right, don’t work up a temperature!” He sobered abrupt- ly. “I learnei three things: that Ivan was a liar and a money-mad scoundrel of whom his poor old | parents had despaired: that San- jdra had backed his play with all |the money she had in the world and lost every penny of it; and in a trunk she had left in storage I found a vague, pitiful letter to Jeff from his father—a deathbed letter explaining that he had left j Sandra the ten thousand dollars |beeans2 it was the smallest part of his est2te, and that there was silver on the Ozark farm—” “Oh, Adam—that fiend of a girl! I can really despise her now. Of course it was just a sick man’s delusion, but to let Jeff think that his father died hating him—” “He knows better now. I did that much.” He paused, regarded me searchingly and forced a note of lightness into his voice. “I sup- pose that was a touching fare- well I just witnessed — Beaufort wouldn't dream of going behind another man’s back.

He interrupted himself to draw a deep breath and expel it in a single caustic commentary: “Hooey!” Having spent, along with the breath, a measure of suppressed |fury, he returned to his milder manner and Nis apparent neces- sitv to interoret Gerald to me. “When I first saw him last night he was nearly out of his mind.

And then I thought of something else. “You were right about Julia,! Gerald. She’s been in love with Jeff for—forever.” “I have eyes,” he said. “I'm sorry.” “Why should you be sorry? I'm not. Julia's a grand girl. I like her. But I”—he stood up, grin- ning a little—“I’ve no time for romance. And besides” — he touched my hand lightly and the} smile spread to his eyes—“I’ve always had a weakness for red ee And now I’m going to say goodby. I’m leaving early to- morrow, and I may not see you again——” “Gerald—I’'m proud. to know you. You—you won't forget us?” He shook his head. The smile was still on his lips, but not in his eyes. “If ever you should need me, no matter where or why, wire me in care of the bureau and I'll come.” He touched my hand again. “Take care of yourself.” He looked affronted. “It’s no laughing matter,” he | said stiffly. “I’m trying to say that J don’t blame either cf you. Beau- fort is a fine fellow, quite apart from his glamor: and I hope—I hone T can lose like a gentleman.” “Oh, so you want to join the lesion yourself!” The power of speech seemed briefly to desert him. He opened his mouth, closed it, looked around for something to throw, then abruptly grinned. He sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyes shedding blue sparks like the broken ends of a live wire, and bent above me smiling. “Confucius say man who boost brother through window may find self left out in cold.” he said. Under the electrical bombard- ment of those eyes, my own con- versational prowess flagged. I stared back at him in tranced helplessness, saw that he was de- liberately waiting for me to speak. “Confucius nobody's fool,” T said weakly. “But much talk, little do—” He gave a quick, voiceless laugh as his arms swept me up from the pillow.
