Cool er.i serene, Christine insists that they knots tehct they're doing. Chapter Three The Immovable Object THINK you are sincere, tain Clyde," Christie- Forrester said. "But I was surprised to hear you speak of warships, and law.

I doa'i think, from what I've heard of you, that you care very much for either one. I thought at first that you wanted to get rid of us merely because we were embarrassing your plans." "That's ronsense." James Clyde said shortly. "What cuts into my plans is this Dyak revolt. I never in, my life knew so many Dyak tribes to get together in one war before. There are praus here from every river on this side of Suman- tang, from the Mukunjan to the Tomarrup." "And farther than that." Christine Forrester Tnurir.ured.

that she wanted to get rid of us even more keenly than we wished to be rid of her. "There are some things it takes much more than canvas to change, Captain Clyde," she said presently. "I will tell you this, quite frankly. If we do not succeed here, there is nothing waiting for us in England, nor any place else ia the world. It's true that my father was a wealtky man when he left the East India service.

But he was not wealthy when he died. He left us very little more than this boat and 23 plan. His plan was carefully "studied, and he had put into it every resource he could coajjuaRd. There is nothing for us to do but to try to complete his project if we can." "I don't know what your father's project was." Clyde said, and his tone doubtless against his will--implied that whatever it was, he didn't think much of it "But you'll have to lay it by. Six months from r.ov.% or even three, everything here will be different." "Unhappily, it cannot be postponed." Tiie irresistible force had met the immovable object, and Clyde was not used to that.

He did not always have his own way, any 1 more than anyone else; but what he could stand was a sima- i tion he couldn't get his teeth all. He shot to his feet now, his tem- ln Hollywood Twice Blest, Thrice Crowned The sweat began running down my ribs. He shot her an estimating glance. "I admit I came here with a purpose," he said. "But that's been spoiled by the picnic party ashore.

Neither you nor I nor anybody else is going to be able to do a nickel's worth of business here. What Lam trying to make you see is that you must do just what Tm going to do give it up make new plans--get out of here for a while, and wait for this thing to clear up." "We expect to" wait," the girl said. "And we expect to wait here." I thought Clyde would blow up at this. But he took a deep breath, and swung his exasperated gaze away from the girl and out across the Avon's rail toward Suman- tang. Over there, the gongs were still whanging.

The mud-flats of Bal- ingong beach were beginning to show, glistening and deserted. Ealingong town you could not see. It was two miles up the sluggish ugly Siderong, whose poured wide from between walls of marsh jungle. "My bet," Clyde persisted, "is that Balingong is already down. There nejrer was much of a garrison there.

The Rajah Mantusen is probably wiped out if he he would have got a messenger to me by now." "You are speaking of your problems, Captain own." It was the first time she had said "my" instead of "our," and he looked at her sharply again. "In any case," she said, "there is certainly nothing for me where else. I may as well tell you, Captain Clyde, that we are here because we have to be; you may have your choice to go or come, but we have none I tell you this because I believe your solicitude for us to be real," "You have canvas and an offshore breeze," Clyde said stubbornly. "That's all it takes to get out" Old Captain Stocker gave off an incomprehensible humming grunt at that, as if it jarred his fever- sluggish mind to an instant's wakefulness, Forrester, busy holding his attitude of standoff courtesy, said nothing at all Neither "did the girl. Dismissal HE -was looking straight into Clyde's eyes, cool and self-pos- per cracking, and shouted at her exactly as if she had been a man.

"I tell you, it must!" Christine Forrester a i aloof, composed, and said nothing. She simply stood up. and remained standing, making it nest to impossible for Clyde to sit down again. Mystery Of The Avon ACK aboard the Linkang, we went to the far side of the from the Avon, stripped off, and had ourselves sluiced over with buckets of tepid salt water; then, barefooted and in dungarees, we Iqunged under our own awning, which was a little different from the Avon's. Ours was a jury-rigged bit fores'l.

and instead of tea things we had a half cooled tar bucket, and a line of washed-out clothes hung up by our China-boy. It must have been just as hot aboard the Avon, but somehow there I had not noticed the heat, in spite of necessity of wearing clothes. Now as I lounged barefooted on the Linkang, the sweat began running down my ribs before I was dry of salt water. My uncle paced and fretted; he did not seem to perspire, but instead seemed simply to smoke. "At first," I suggested, "I thought the yawl was sent here to spy on us." "Spy on us!" my uncle snorted.

"Who'd ever send that outfit any place to accomplish anything?" He made the idea seem much sillier than it really was. Granting it unlikely that a vessel with a girl aboard should be sent into these islands to spy upon a gunrunner, the thing" was nevertheless possible. The British can sometimes be unbelievably unwieldy about any such performance, mystifying their competitors by the sheer cumbersomeness of their devices. And the Avon was one vessel which was supposed to be accounted for at this moment in an entirely different part of the globe. 'It's a funny thing they lay-to just a day ahead of us," I argued.

"With a thousand islands to choose from, they nave to come and spoil our plans here. There has to be a reason." (CoimtU. J93S.

The coniess.onai in famiJy is one of the ira- pjrtani in the child's hfe If he leara to hide his small infractions, then all the conSdcnce. ao necessary to close ties is de- sir oved. Otltn parents Bonder why their children Jjn'l tell them more a'oo-t Why did no: John come and say he had broken the garage window? It was only an accident and he might have that nobody would Blame him. Yet he kept the secret to himself, and even tited to fib about It. Doesn't he trust his loving mother and father? They are truly puzzled and distressed to think that he does not have any more faith than that Discovery Inevitable.

But John knows the reason. He has been very unhappy about the xvhole affair, staying over at William's house since school, and acting so queerly all evening. Dad didn't see it when he came home. beCtiiuc John iuii piled t.oiue over the window. But in the morning, it would be discovered without doubt.

But Dad had had to go out. and the beams from the car ill is evening had disclosed the damage. Then there was a scene. John refused to be honest. He suggested a dozen ways it could happened.

They knew better, and here was mother crying, as she said, not because John had accidentally hit it with a clothes pole he was stack- Ing in a corner for her, but because their son would stoop to subterfuge. Although they said this. John knew better. If he had come directly to his mother and confessed his trouble, she would very likely have said. "Oh.

John, what will your father He has so much trouble and so little money. I am afraid he will be terribly cross." And her worry would upset the boy as well as his father's wrath. Ills Only Escape. He just couldn't bear it, and so had sought escape in craft. This made him more miserable than ever.

If only he could report his sins, innocent or blameworthy, without a lot of emotional storms on the part of his parent, he would most certainly have marched right in and said, "Mom, I broke a window. I couldn't help it, because the pole got caught on the old Christmas tree and when I went to loosen it at one end. it hit the window at the other end. I put three of them away safely and this was the last. I'm sorry.

Mom. but if Dad gels the glass, I can put -it in tomorrow. They only charge fifteen cents for a small pane." All children dread the worry and the outbursts that attend confession. They fear this more than punishment. Parents who wish to keep their families truthful, should curb most of their emotional outbursts, so that an easy road to truth will lie ahead.

Charles McCarth. dramatic editor of the Washington Evening Star in reviewing "Night Must Fall," eerie piicliulcgteal drama by Emlyn Williams and current production of the club said: "Author Williams wrote the play for himself and therefore, logically erough the character which he intended to play upon the stage is the most important and taxing. Leon Yourtee proved equal to the task, however.

In fact his portrayal of Dan, the suave page boy who has killed, and who feels the urge again as dark comes on. was a bit more than one might expect from an amateur. The ingratiating smoothness, the occasional troubled mental attitude, the simmering urge to do physical harm was made properly convincing. A sterling performance for a college actor." Yourtee is a senior in the College of Engineering, as well as president of the FootUght Club. He is a graduate of Hagerstown High school and was prominent in high school dramatic circles.
