PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE: 9- MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12. 1934 RUSS TRADE LEADER PAYS VISIT HERE Bognadov, Guest of Tech President, Is Tendered Dinner at P. A. A. '( i 2: mi, jw.

t- -w i Peter A. Bogdanov, head of the American Trading Corporation of Soviet Russia, better known as Amtorg, visited Pittsburgh Saturday as guest of Dr. Thomas S. Baker, president of Carnegie Institute of Technology. His visit, he said, was made chiefly to renew business acquaintances.

He was also guest of honor at a dinner at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association. kept pace with him with difficulty. "I wondered what had happened to him," Boris said at last. "Did you lick him?" "Yes with a great deal of difficulty." Orleneff was silent again. After a time he said he liked a good boxing match.

Anyway, things look a lot different to me from what they did few days ago. Another thing I want to say is that the trick I pulled on you was the "lowest down thing I ever did. I've been trying ever since to understand how I could do it.

I'll be ashamed of it as long as I live." "You were desperate and half crazy," Pomeroy said selfconsciously. "I know now what you were up against. Forget it." "Look at the price we've paid for it," Orleneff brought out. "Do you know what's been ringing in my brain all day, as if some one kept shouting it at me? The wages of sin is The wages of sin is Cyril has paid those wages all right." Boris ended with a groan. "And so have I.

Look at what I'm up against!" "You're getting morbid, old man. Snap out of it. These deaths have nothing to do with your bringing me here." "Go on thinking so. I'll never agree with you. The bill has been presented, and we've paid in our different ways.

I'd rather be where Cyril is than have that to think about the rest of my life." "I never listened to such wild talk. Pull yourself together." Continued Tomorrow. A S'Ji I each- i'-r V-v con Grateful walked back to Andy's cottage with the caretaker to wheedle even more provisions-from him, Pomeroy suspected, while Orleneff and Pomeroy started for the house. "Captain Kidd was supposed to have made this island his headquarters for a time," Orleneff remarked as they plunged through the storm. The words were taken from his lips by the wind and Pomeroy barely caught them as they whistled past his eari.

Both men plodded doggedly tnrough the storm, heads down, bodies braced against the force of the tempest. "If he didn't it's probably the only island in the Atlantic that escaped him," Pomeroy muttered, closing his eyes for an instant to kepp ice pellets out of them. I guess he was here all right. There are excavations all over the island where treasure seekers have been digging for hidden gold," Orleneff said absently. "There was a bunch of them here only 20 years ago." He had clearly been talking against time.

Now he brought out desperately, "God, how I hate to go back to mother! I can't bear to see her so wretched. And all this must be playing the mischief with her nerves and her eyes." "How is your sister taking it? I haven't seen her today." Walk Around Island Irma will stand up under it. She always does. And of course none of us really realize yet what has happened. It's a cataclysmic thing, if Cyril is gone, too." "I know." They had reached the space in front of the house.

Orleneff suddenly stopped and planted himself like a panic-stricken child. "Look here," he said, "let's walk around a while. Do you mind?" "Xo, I'm with you." "I'll show you the island. It's very small." Fomeroy reflected that there were more pleasing diversions for a day like this than a walk on a tempest-ridden island out at sea. He thought of Irma and the library and its luring fire.

But he understood how his companion felt. "Good idea." He added as they turned from the house. "It will give us some air." "It will do that, all right," Orleneff grimly agreed. They started around the house toward the sea, and the wind met them with a shriek of protest. Orleneff was walking as if he had escaped some unseen peril.

He followed the vague, drift obscured outline of the path leading to the summer house, and when they neared it Pomeroy spoke again. "I fought a fist fight there with your cousin," he told his companion. Orleneff stopped short, and stared at him. "You did? When?" "Friday." Boris walked on and Bruce r- Offer of Job "I'll take you on myself some day, for the honor of the family," he added slowly, and broke out, "That fight was only two days ago. God!" He pushed on toward the sea, through the clearing in the trees.

Pomeroy gave him a quick side glance. He did not like the look in the other's eyes, or his nerve driven, headlong progress. "Orleneff," he began, and found that he almost had to shout to" make his voice heard above the howl of the wind and the crash of waves and tortured evergreens, "if I get one of my friends to offer you a job will you take it?" "As office boy?" He caught the twisted, sardonic grin on the young man's lips. "Not as bad as that. Something that will give you a living income to begin with and a chance to go on up.

How about it?" "I'll take it." After an interval Boris added, "Thanks." "My idea is to get you all back to New York as soon as we can leave here," Bruce went on. "I can arrange to get same cash when we reach the mainland. I'll stake you till you're on your feet, if you will let me." "Thanks again. It's mighty decent of you. More coals of fire and all that." There was another silence which Boris finally broke as if he had not observed it.

"I want to say while we're on the subject, that I'll try to mak good. I think I've learned some- WORLD'S FASTEST MULTI-MOTOR SERVICE Boeing planes Two pilots Stewardess Heated Cabins.
