He was a journalist (with Edgar Ansel Mowrer for a time). He wrote books and plays, and collaborated with Max Reinhardt for a spell. He was a special en voy for Lenin, and was with Karl Radek in Berlin. He knew Rathe nau, Ciano, Mussolini and quarrel ed with the latter. He knew the Hitler crowd in their early days, and was nearly murdered by them. He went to jail in Yugoslavia, partied with the GPU, traveled widely and with wide-open eyes in Russia, spent ten days with Hitler himself, invaded Greece on his own, and otherwise covered most of the Continent, and even tually America. This is the sort of book he has written. Its style is a peculiar synthesis of staid German, moody Russian, gay Viennese. And it has the virtue of leading yo;u on, and on. * -V BRILLIANT VIOLINIST Nicolo Paganini, who lived from 1780 to 1840, was one of the most brillian violinists the world ever has known. Noted for his compo sitions for one string, the G, he •was able to extend the range of the G string to four octaves. i the One flPElfllPE HUMPHRIES WRITTEN FOR AND RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION;;;: SYNOPSIS Three young airline hostesses, TIBBY LANE, sweet and natural; STEENA WINTERS, beautiful and sophisticated, and MARG BAKER, plain, sturdy and direct, share an apartment to gether in New York, where they are based. A friend of Tibby’s, TOMMY DARE, is spending h i s first year out of medical school at a clinic in Brooklyn. Steena sets her cap for WAYNE COURTRIGHT, wealthy official of the airline. He * * YESTERDAY: Tommy and Court, right both visit Tibby on the same evening, and each appears ready to outwait the other. CHAPTER FIFTEEN The evening, with Tommy and Wayne Courtright both calling on Tibby, did indeed turn out to be a long and exceedingly painful one, but not for the reason that Tibby had feared—that they would try to out-stay one another. As it turned out, that did not prove possible, as Courtright was forced to leave unexpectedly for a reason so unpredictable that Tib by well might have regretted its being the cause. When all attempts at the polite amenities sputtered out, Tibby gave up trying to make small talk. Instead, she turned on the radio. There was one of her fav orite comedy teams on the air, so laugh-provoking that surely they would help break the tension—for there was no denying that the room was filled with a sort of ten sion by now. The two men had not taken to one another. Maybe because they were so different, Tibby decided. Tommy was so boyish and blunt, acting so sus piciously of the other man’s pres ence; Courtright so suave and pol ished—and apparently so indiffer ent to Tommy’s existence. The comedy team did not seem as amusing tonight as usual, may be because it is next to impos sible always to maintain the same high level of entertainment—or maybe because Tibby’s guests were not in a receptive mood. She was wondering, rather desperate ly, what she might try next when the program was interrupted by an important news flash. An airliner had been forced down in the Great Lakes region. Its radio had reported engine trou ble, that a forced landing would be attempted, but nothing had been heard from the big ship since. It was feared that there might have been serious trouble, especially as the pilot might have had to set the plane down on a lake which, although frozen in places, probably would not be strong enough to hold such weight until help could arrive. To Tommy this was not such an out-of-the-ordinary or upsetting news flash. He would have said that was his reason for objecting to Tibby’s position as stewardess: such accidents, although not fre quent, were bound to occur every now and then. They justified his viewpoint . But to Tibby and Wayne Court right this unexpected bulletin came as a personal shock, to Courtright because the ship that was in trouble belonged to the airline of which he was an offi cial; to Tibby because Marg was on that particular flight. “I’m afraid I’ll have to go,” Wayne said, his gray eyes turning to steel, but showing, nevertheless, that he was deeply perturbed. He knew how such an accident, even though it should prove slight, de stroyed confidence in the com pany. Tibby said, “My other room mate—the one I told you about— Marg Baker—she’s on that ship.” She had not questioned his having to leave so abruptly. She did not feel any relief at his going now. Her heart had contracted with fear; all her thoughts were with Marg. “I’ll let you know the minute I hear anything,” Courtright said. “It may not be as bad as it sounds.” You must try not to wor ry.” In spite of his calm manner, it was evident that he was wor ried, too. Not in the way Tibby wa s— about Marg. "Oh. please do!” she followed him to the door, her face white now, drained of all color. “I shall wait in. Phone whenever —or whatever you hear, at no matter what hour. I shan't be asleep.” Of course she could not attempt sleep until her fears were abated. “I’ll phone tonight,” Wayne Courtright said. It was a solemn promise; he looked into her eyes as he made it, holding her hand in parting a moment, too. It was as though he were trying to add re assurance, and give her some of his strength, should she need it. At least so Tibby felt, feeling at the same time her panic subside a little. As he had said, it might not be nearly so bad as it had sound ed over the radio, coming as such a shock, put so briefly. Tibby must hope for the best. The pilot would land his ship, even if he had to land it on the thin ice of a lake. Such feats had been achieved be fore; a forced landing did. n o t necessarily mean an accident. Apparently Tommy still had not got what this all was about. Why should it have caused such an abrupt leave-taking on Court right’s part—with that goodbv scene he had staged at the door? Tommy did not see why it had been necessary for him to ho 1 d Tibby’s hand so long. Or why she should sit up all night waiting for him to phone. “I don’t get it, he said, as Tib by came back into the room. Her face was so white that Tom my jumped up to pull up a chair for her. “Why should he—that Courtright fellow—rush out of here as if the place were on fire? How can you be sure that Marg is on that particular plane?” “Mr. Courtright is one of t h e heads of the company,” Tibby ex plained to him now, if somewhat belatedly. “I know Marg is on it. Captain Mercer is the chief pilot. She always flys with him.” “One of the heads, eh?” That did not explain everything, even yet, to Tommy. Why should one of the company heads have been call ing on Tib? She was only a hum ble—and rather new—employe. “YOU might have been on it,” Tommy said. To him this was the important issue. It ought to show Tibby why he thought she ought to be willing to sit at home and wait for a man, even though he had told her to forget he ever had said that. She said, “But I’m not. Marg is.” To Tibby that was the only thing that mattered. If anything happened to Marg, dear, plucky, loyal friend. . .but she had prom ised Wayne she Would not worry, that she would hope for the best. “No use your sitting here stew ing.” Tommy was in agreement with Courtright when it came to this. He hated to see Tibby so dis tressed. “Why don’t we go some place—a show or to get a soda— anywhere to put in some time.” “You forget I promised to wait.” Tibby’s dark eyes reproached him. “Until I get a phone call, I mean.” “I didn’t forget. There may not be any more news for hours. You can’t just sit by the phone a 11 night.” “I shan’t leave until I do hear something more.” Tibby’s tone was firm. She looked as if even a fire could not have budged her. Tommy said, ‘‘I’ve told you all along you ought not be mixed up in this flying business.” He did! not mean to scold at a time like | this, with Tibby so concerned, but! he could not allow such an oppor tunity to slip by without remind ing her he had been right a 11 along. She made a little weary gesture with one hand. “Please. . .1 e t’s not bring that up now.” A little tact—and polish—would not hurt Tommy, she thought. He did not seem to realize how she felt about Marg. Courtright had, although he did not even know her. “Okay, okay. . .” Tommy only had been trying to help. He guess ed all he could do was stick around, too, until a phone c all came, even if Tibby did not seem to wan* him, now that her other gentleman friend had departed — was that “lug” a friend of hers? —and after the welcome she had extended at first. He was still sticking, Tibby was still waiting for the phone to ring, when Steena came home. She had not heard the news flash, but she had seen the headlines of an ex tra. She was nearly as anxious as Tibby about Marg, so that, at first, she did not think anything of it when Tibby remarked that Court right had promised to phone as soon as there was any further news. “Wayne—was he here? Too bad I missed him.” Steena took it fox granted he had called to see her, so she did not think it strange that Tibby should be waiting for a call from him. Besides, Tibby’s doctor was there. The three of them would wait together. 4 (To Be Continued) Miami Fishing Craft Ordered Off The Sea MIAMI, Fla.. May 4.— !.4>1 —The Coast Guard announced today that fishing boats in the Miami-Miami Beach area had been ordered to remain in port. No explanation for the order was given, and there was no word about how long the ban would con tinue. A similar order last Feb ruary kept small craft in the har bor for about 48 hours.
