Archie Lamsdea, myself, Hugo's friend. Ottllle American heiress, whose tisttr was murdered. Yesterday: bring Ottllie to the villa and find Dunning there. She runt into hit arms, sobbing. Chapter 18 The Big Swindle held her as foe would a child, patting her shoulder with a clumsy tenderness.

"There, there!" he soothed her. "That's the girll Cry it out, honey! Sure I've heard about it all, but oiJy yesterday." He stared across her bowed head at Hugo, with somber indignation. "Mr. Stern," he said, "was this necessary? Couldn't you have left the telling to someone nearer her? It's cruel to get news like that from a stranger." Hugo shrugged, his face a dusky red; but before he could answer, Ada provided a diversion. She had been standing staring from one to anothe of us, her eyes round and itartled; but now she caught her brother's arm.

"Hugo," she said, in an all too audible whisper, "who is this girl? She's Hugo laid one brown, muscular hand across her mouth. "Ada, my dear." he said, "this young lady Miss Ottilie Wills. She hat come here to have tea with us, but she has just received some rather disturbing news, and I think she would like to be alone for a 'ew minutes. If you'll have tea ready for us on the terrace in half an hour, 1 think everything will be straightened out by then. Ada went reluctantly.

"See here now, Cttilie." Dunning was saying. "Look things in the face, like a good girl, and show your grit. You're not helping Melanie any by crying yourself sick." The chestnut head shook 'violently; a muffled sob was the only answer. Hugo poured out a stiff tot of brandy, laid his hand on one limp, dark-blue shoulder, and shook it. "Here.

that!" he said harshly. "Drink this up at oncer She lifted her head, drowned dark eyes stared at him resentfully. "I can't," she said, in a voice between a sob and a choke. "Go leave me alone, can't you?" "If you haven't drunk it in one minute," said Hugo, "I'll force it down your throat." A sudden flash of anger sparkled through the tears, but she drained it at a gulp. Hugo sighed and dropped into the nearest chair, like a man suddenly tired.

"If you feel able," he suggested, "we might begin our discussion." The girl disengaged herself and crossed to an old, gilt-framed mirror, sight of her tear-stained face. Whether as a result of the brandy or her sudden flare of anger, she was completely restored to self jontrol, and she even achieved a wry sideways smile at me as she passed. Applying a powder puff with vigor, she whispered to ne, "May Heaven help the woman he marries!" She perched herself on the arm of Dunning's chair ana laid a hand on his knee, which he covered instantly with one big "Just tion. Ottilie, that letter was loaned to me by Mr, Lumsden this morning. I came here for the purpose oi giving it back to him.

but 1 must tell him, and you too, that its contents are ineradicably engraved on my memory. You don't have to give away a thing unless you want to." In her turn she looked from one to the other of us, with dark eyes that were wide and questioning and considering. Then very quietly she folded her hands in her lap and sat upright. "You know, Cuthbert," she said. "I think we'd be wise to trust them.

I believe they could help us a lot." "Well," he drawled, "it's a strange thing, but I have the same impression; only this time, gentlemen, ii must be agreed that all the cards are on the table. Is it a jar- gain?" "It's a bargain," said Hugo dryly- Mr. Dunning crossed to the empty hearth, stood with his back to it, and looked down on us with a large benevolence. "Well," he said, "I guess it's up to me to start the ball rolling, bul to do that I've got to go 'way tark to a certain night in Prague, three and a half years ago, when Dr. Raditch, Vice President of the Czechoslovak Republic, was shot down and killed as he left the opera-house.

The shooting caused a flutter in the chancelleries of Europe, and an almighty slump in international securities." He beamed at us with the complacency of a conjurer who has Sreduced a particularly fine rab- it. "An interesting situation?" he commented. "The most interesting bit of it was the amount of insurance against just such a fatality that was collected by a number of innocuous people in various parts of the world. Gentlemen, that was the teginnlng of what, from now on, we will call the Big Swindle. And here's the continuation of it, right up to date." Then he to spin the queerest yarn that I had ever heard.

Foretelling The Future TpHE assassination of Raditch, he 1 said, was the first of a series of strange fatalities, involving men of every conceivable nationality and calling, but, in each case, men of such outstanding importance in commerce, finance, or politics, that their sudden demise caused a considerable slump or panic in their particular sphere of activity; and in each case, it was subsequently discovered, the possibility of their deaths had been heavily covered with a number of insurance policies, taken out by a variety of seemingly unconnected people in all quarters of the globe. There had been longish intervals between the first three or four deaths, but latterly they had followed each other thick and fast. But nobody ever dreamed of tracing any connection between the various deaths. The men involved were of such widely different races and professions, their deaths were so easily and naturally in the case of accidents, the accidents were such as might have happened to anybody! where murder or assassination were involved, the killer either escaped or, when caught, was found to have a legitimate political or personal grievance against his no STORM (Continued From Page One) With gale winds and drenching ownpour forecast, valley residents lug In while city officials prepared or emergencies and ordered double duty for policemen and firemen.

how much have you told them, Ottilie?" he queried gently. "Nothing that matters," she said. "Only how Sis ran away from home and Pat came over to find her. Oh, Cuthbert, have you heard about Pat too?" "Sure, sure," he soothed her. "But how much do you wish we should tell them?" I suddenly realized with dis.nay that the weapon we had proposed to use for bargaining was at that moment lying, presumably, in the big man's pocket; and that, as he had unquestionably read it, its market value was now prec.sely nil.

From the look on Hugo's face, I fancied the same thought had occurred to him. Cards On The Table "TjEFORE we go any farther," Hugo broke in sharply, "I should like to know Mr. Dunning's exact status. I understood he was a journalist." The girl gave a little breathless chuckle. "Oh, Cuthbert!" she said.

"You've never been pulling that gag again? Gentlemen, I assure you that Mr. Dunning is no journalist. He's a detective in fact, he was Unck Virgoe's bodyguard, 'way back before 1 was born. Then, when he got tired of working for hire, he quit and founded the Dunning Detective Agency in New York." "With branches In St. Louis, Chicago, and San Francisco," put in her subject dryly.

"Don't you go leaving out my background. Ottilie." "And it's like this, Cuthbert," the girl went on, "this gentleman. Mr. Lumsden, has a letter from Sis, written just before just before her death, that he's promised to show me if I tell him- -things." Mr. Dunning looked from Hugo to me with a grim little smile.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen," he said, "but all's fair in love and detec- one, Dunning said, smelted a rat. The paople taking out the policies were so completely unconnected and so widely scattered that the most fantastic flight of fancy could not have imagined a connection between any two of them; here was the one weak link in the the insurance companies involved were seemingly as unconnected as the policy-holders, they were actually bound together by the vast, impalpable spider's web that holds together world finance, for over a certain sum the bulk of their liabilities was carried either by Lloyd's, the Bureau Veritai of France, or the American Bureau.

They had been discussing the news of the day, the main items of which happened to be the sudden deaths of two prominent men.

One of these, a middle-Europe railway magnate, had come to his end by a fall from an aeroplane. Tho other, the President of a South American republic, had met with an even more natural and understandable death, for he had been shot down in the course of a revolution. But, said the elderly French- aan, the point which interested him was this: in the current number of a certain small almanac, the Grimoire ostrolopique, published somewhere on the C6te d'Azur and purporting in its crude, unlettered way, to foretell the future, both these fatalities had been dieted, not only with uncanny accuracy of detail, but actually in the very months in which they had subsequently occurred.

Brownsville and the Rio Grande valley "boarded up" today as a tropical hurricane moved over the gulf toward the 235-mile stretch between Brownsville and Tamplco, Mexico, While city leaders conferred on possible emergency measures, Pan American and Branlff Airways stood by to move Its flying equipment inland to San Antonio if the storm veers this way. About 30 persons on Del Mar, summer resort on Brazos Island near the coast, were expected to move to the mainland during the day. The storm, about 250 miles out, was expected to strike early tonight. Brownsville boarded up Its power plant to prevent Interruption of service and warehouses took the same precautions to protect their goods. Capt.

Edward V. Rlckenbacker, Eastern Airlines head who flew In with a party of officials this morn- Ing, contemplated leaving before the storm's expected arrival farther down the Texas-Mexican coast. Election judges and clerks had little to do in the run-off primary voting as residents got ready for the blow. The U. S.

weather bureau said there was no cause yet for serious alarm. The tropical hurricane, an advisory said, was 2SO miles southeast of Brownsville and moving about 16 miles an hours toward Mexico. A brief rain squall and a wavering baromether were the only evidences this morning of the storm's approach. W. J.

Schnurbusch, weather bureau chief, said the barometer at 6:30 a. m. C. S. read 29.87, then rose to 29.91 at 10 a.

m. A normal barometer here reads about 29.95. A 10-mile wind was blowing. Schnurbusch said the storm appeared to be much less severe than the hurricane which caused great damage to the Rio Grande valley In 1933. Brownsville Is at the southern end of the 90-mlle-long valley.

"On the occasion of my appointment last February as assistant secretary of state," Berle wrote Mr.

Roosevelt, "you wcra good enough to agree that the appointment might be considered temporary-and that-I might ask to be relieved when certain work was got forward. "This has now been done. I have enjoyed every minute of it. The time has come to go home, and I offer my resignation to take effect at your pleasure In September."
