Blaine Howard, can insurgents on the border and loved hopelessly, is Kkilled on the .« Western Front in France. Captain John Vaneering, aviator, whom she later married, dies in an airplane crash. Bue she cherishes most the | memory of Howard. Dagger visits Dick Welling in Paris, an old friend of her childhood on a ranch, now an English lord and married to Blaine | ~ Howard’s widow, Emily. She meets the Duc de Pontoise, French gen- eral who was a friend of both How- ard and Vaneering and he in turn falls in love with her. In the “‘ French fashion he proposes first through his aunt, Princess RaKov- ski, but Dagger says she cannot marry him. Nevertheless the Dul obtains permission to plead his own cavse. Chapter 26 THE DUC TELLS OF HIS LOVE DePontoise waited upon Dagger the next day. He was his usual self, except for a slightly tense look about his mouth, and a tinge of color in his cheeks, mirrored in Dagger's own. There was, 100, a formality in his manner which he had abandoned since they had es- tablished terms of irftimacy. Sol- cierlike, he went abruptly to his subject. “My Tante spoke with you yes- terday,” he said. “Yes, Raoul.” “I regret that I must seem pre- cipitate,” he continued; “but as yo . have no relative within reach “I am my own mistress,” she re- “piied kindly. nything you have to say you may say to me, but per- haps 1 should warn you—" she hes - jtated— “T told the Prince: “Please,” he interrupted.

He did love her, loved her splendidly. Why was she unable to return a love so fine? Must she live under an evil star, ness which .came to other women no worthier than she? “If I might answer you as you wish, Raoul!” she explaimed. “Perhaps you will yet,” he re- turned, undaunted. “I have loved you since the first afternoon I saw you. Doubtless it is enough that I say that, but if 1 may, I will add that I have never met a woman I would rather offer my name to. You will not misunderstand me, Degger. We think the same about these matters. Raflk is an oppor| {unity to you, not a means of grati- fying social ambition.

Preliminary conversations, looking towards a challenge for a race to be held possibly no sooner than 1983, are now In progress. No challenge, however, has vet been lodged and none will be until English yachts- men and the New York Yacht club agree upon the details. Not only is the Guiness family in- terested, it was learned Saturday. but one of the leading French Yacht clubs has put out “feclers” to de- termine what might be done in the way of arranging a French chal- lenge for the cup. If the French do challenge it will be the first time that any country other than Great Britain has essayed to win the tro- phy emblematic of world yachting suprema English and American yachtsmen, interested in cup competition, have been meeting at the, New York Yacht club this week, discussing rules for future races. It was learn- ed on good authority that they were prattically agreed on four major changes in the rules under which the 1930 cup series was run. These changes are. Approval of all metal yacht. Limitation of the waterline length of yachts to §3 feet. Kor the 1930 76 feet was the length. Approval of mechanical below decks such as were the defender Enterprise. Limiting of the crew to 20 instea.l of 33 which latter figure was the limit this year. These changes, yachtsmen said, would greatly reduce the cost of building and sailing the yachts. It was estimated that a boat could be built under the proposed new re- quirements for as little as a quarter of a million dollars. This yeai vachts cost nearly $1,000,000.

Rushing to the aid of the beleag- uered institutions, the Federal Re- serve bank at Atlanta yesterday made two shipments of $5,000,000 and $11,000,000 by train, airplane, and a Cuban gunboat, and a third shipment, by a secret route, of $9,- 000,000. The bank already had available in its Havana branch vaults here about $20,000,000 so that $45,000,000 can be used to restore confidence anl meet all ‘demands upon the eight clearing house members if needed.

SPANIARDS URGE - ALFONSD 10 QuIT Stage Mass Meeting in Favor of New Republic Madrid, Sept. 29 (P—Republjcans of Sgain were roused today to freat- r efforts to end the monarchy, us fiery appeals of their leaders in the old bull ring here Sunday echoed throughout the land. Twenty thousand persons, 10,000 of them from outside the city, jam- med the arena in a meeting made possible only a few days ago with the lifting of the censorship and the ban on free speech. They heard the chiefs of the movement flay the monarchy and espouse a republic in what was said to be the greatest re- publican demonstration in recent years. Delegations from every part of Spain were present,_ most of them carrying banners with slogans print- ed in large type. The red, yellow and purple, republican colors, were ev- erywhere about the bull ring. Omi- nously yet unused even as a threat, muzzles of machine guns poked from vantage points commanding | the crowd. Perfect order was maintained, al- though some of the speeches were inflammatory in the extreme. Civic guards, police, and plain clothes men watched over the assemblage but were not called on for more than ordinary police duties. When ths meeting was over the crowd dispers- ed without untoward incident.

Marcelino Do- mingo, representing the Catalan re- publicans and the radical socialists, was another speaker. FARMER'S PLOW UNEARTHS RUINS Mosaic Floor Picture Shows Hercules Yamped by Sirens Italica, Spain, Sept. 29 (A — A mosaic floor picture of Hercules be- ing vamped by the sirens, with every indication that he is going to be lost unless he runs away from temptation very quickly, has been found in excavations of the luxurious villa of some wealthy Roman who lived here 2,000 years ago. A The excayations of what was once a great Roman city herg, under way for some years, have revealed one of the largest known ancient amphi- theaters, not excepting the city of Rome itself. The Italica arena seat- ed some 20,000 persons in the days when Christians and slaves were thrown to fight wild beasts and glad- jators battled to death with metal nuckles, some of these appurte- nances of Roman prize fighting being found nearby. This coloseum and subsequently Italica were discovered because a farmer's ploy ran into an immov- able stone as he was opening up a hillside farm. He dug to get the stone out, but the more he dug the more stone he found. It was part of one of the huge walls of the am- phitheater, which had been filled in by the natural accumulation of cen- turies, and had become a grassy, wooded hill, looking just like any of the other eminences in this re- gion. Any of the hills may hide other ruins, it is said. After years of work this hill was cut away and the am- phitheater exposed. Archaeologists still are at work all around, and have many years of work ahecad of them. They have dug out the caves where lions were kept for the Chris- tians. They have found busts of Hadrain and of Scipio Africanus, who found- ed the place. They are concentrat- ing now on unearthing the remains | of the villas of ancient Roman lux- ury, with beautiful mosaic floors, fountains and baths. Much recon- struction work is necessary to re- assemble the floor mosaics, but they being put together skilfully by experts of the provincial archaeolo- gical itors can see with ng fidelity something of what old Roman splendor must have been here. | LR e p : [ Flashes of Life ] e ————— ) By the United Press.
