Italian King Confers
Honor On Pino Grandi
BERN, Switzerland. March 25.
(ft—A Stefani dispatch from Rome
said today that King Vittorio
E'manuele III had conferred the
<;unreme order of the Annunciata
on Count Dino Grandi, former am
bassador to Great Britain.
Count Grandi has held high rank
in the Fascist government and
was minister of justice until last
February 5, when he was replaced.
His name has been associated
with various reports reaching
Switzerland that peace fee 1 e r s
would be made ^to the Allies.
Another Councilman
Files For Election
Garland S. Currin, newest
member of the city council, fil
ed his candidacy for reelectlon
with Chairman H. G. Carney
of the city elections board
Thursday.
He is the second candidate
to file for the forthcoming city
elections. Ronald Lane, also an
Incumbent councilman, filed for
reelection Tuesday.
Mr. Currin, a wholesaler
here, was appointed to the city
council last November, tailing
over the seat vacated by the
resignation of Mayor Hargrove
Bellamy, now a major in the
Armys' adjutant generals’ dc*
njnrtment.
HEAD THIS FIRST:
Everyone thought Agatha Brown
was an old maid, but she had
been secretly married for 25 years
to Prof. Otto Haider of Western
college She had left him in World
War I because she learned he was
a traitor. Now, in World War II,
she discovers he again is going
to sell one of his inventions to
the enemy. Still loving him, and
hoping to save him from himself,
she steals into his dormitory room
at the college and begs him to
be true to America. He tries to
smother her in a closet, but she
escapes.
(Now go on with the story)
chapter seven
Agatha at first thought of going
directly to the police and asking
for her husband's arrest.
Fear stopped her.
Otto would know who had told
on him, and he would immediately
take the revenge he had been
holding over her head as a threat
all these years. No, she had best
catch the first train home and in
calm surroundings lay out a plan
of action. Her power to think was
completely paralyzed now by her
emotions. She was conscious of a
terrible loss—and at the same time
of relief.
Subconsciously the possibility
that someday she might go back
to Otto had always lingered in her
heart. Now that possibility was
gone forever. Otto had torn him
self out of her life.
And yet she still loved him—not
for what he was, but for what he
had been. She couldn’t make sense
out of it. He had struck her; he
had flatly refused to give up his
traitorous ways.
No, she could afford no hasty
decision. She must think this out
in the quiet of her home.
There was no train this late at
night. At an all-night service sta
tion she telephoned for a taxicab,
and paid the exorbitant fare for
the 40-mile drive to Braxton.
At Braxton the train service was
better, although the best she could
get was a coach. Through the
windows she saw the first glow
of dawn appearing as the train
slowed for Barsdale. The milkman
saluted her at her gate. "Up early
this morning, Miss Agatha.”
"Yes, very early.” She was dead
tired. She went to her room and
climbed wearily into bed. Her
family must have found her there,
because they left her undisturbed
until almost noon. She wakened
groggy with the warmth of the
room and the dreams she had en
dured.
Still she had reached no decision.
Her sister’s greeting held a note
of suspicion as Agatha descended
for lunch. “By the way, I thought
Miss Pierce moved from Braxton
a month ago”
“Miss Pierce”
“She was the one you went to
visit last night—all of a sudden—
if you remember.”
“Oh-h, yes. I’m still half asleep.
I didn’t remember about her mov
ing until I was almost there. I—I
went to see ‘Gone With the Wind’
instead. Had to come bacn on the
last train.”
“What a silly waste of time.
You'd already seen that picture
once.”
“A year ago,’ Agatha reminded
her. “Where’s Clemantine
“Shes driving John back to his
camp.”
“Driving But why would she do
that He could take the train.
We’re supposed to save our tires.
Agatha’s sister sighed hopeless
ly. “Sometimes I wonder if you re
really human. Don’t you know what
it means to be in love
“Perlipas—I do.”
“Don’t you realize that young
man is going to war? Clemantine
may never see him again. Wasting
tires! I wish they could use mine.
Agatha ate her lunch in silence.
She knew her sister would not un
derstand.
Her problem tortured her. She
knew she must stop Otto quickly.
His invention was nearly finished.
She had a duty to her country that
must outweigh any personal fears.
She must not let that invention fall
into the hands of the enemy.
But if she acted so soon after
her encounter with him he would
be sure to connect her with his
undoing. Out of revenge he would
reveal the secret she had guarded
so carefully from the world.
Clemantine believed her mother
was dead—but she was not dead.
Clemantine must never know the
truth: that “Aunt” Agatha was her
mother: that. Professor Otto Halder
traitor to America, was her father.
There had been three Brown sis
ters originally—Agatha, Joan and
Beatric. Agatha remembered her
mother as a pious woman, always
helping others. She had no memory
of her father. He had died when
she was less than five years old.
Beatrice had been the first
daughter to marry and move away.
Joan was less fortunate. She chose
a husband who was unable to sup
port her. Agatha, too, married —
but kept it secret from all except
hor rri ntVi
Joan, when her husband deserted
her, came back to live at home.
Agatha joined her. broken hearted
over Professor Haider's perfidy.
Both young wives became moth
ers at about the same time. Joan
and her baby died. Clemantine
lived, and was passed off as Joan’s
daughter.
Almost no one knew the truth.
Even Beatrice was deceived. Aga
tha told her husband in hope of
straightening him out, but it was
not effective, and the secret went
no farther. Mrs. Brown died 15
years later, leaving the knowledge
of Clemantine’s birth only to the
estranged parents.
It was then that Beatrice decided
Clemantine should not be left in the
care of “an old maid.” Beatrice
Gallishaw and her husband moved
into the old Brown home whose
ownership was divided equally be
tween the two women.
The Gallishaws even wanted to
adopt Clemantine. but Agatha put
her foot down firmly. "She’s been
like a daughter to me. I’ll not give
her up!”
And that was the nearest Aga
tha had ever come to telling the
truth to Eeatrice.
Now—it was all coming out—the
whole mess. Agatha could picture
the he4dlines about Professor Hai
der, the man she had once loved—
the man, God pity her, she still
loved. He would be hated by every
decent American. And he would
drag Clemantine down w’ith him.
He would see to that, because he
knew what it would do to his wife.
No, Agatha could not let it hap
pen. She would not!
Professor Haider must not be
allowed to speak.
But how to silence him How

loved him
She shrank in horror from the
obvious answer.
But why not? This was war!
John Callahan was going out to
kill men not half as dangerous as
this traitor.
Could she find the strength to
do it? Could she conquer her
heart?
She must. There was no other
answer. She must kill him, as he
had tried to kill her.
She must do it in such a way
that no possible clue could ever
point in her direction.

NAVAL AVIATION
PROGRAM TALKED
Cadet Selection Board Of
ficer Speaks To High
School Students
Thirty New Hanover High school
seniors heard an explanation of the
Navy’s V-5 program for Naval Avia
tion Cadet training by Ensign Ben
jamin J. Sheppard, Jr., USNR, ot
the Naval Aviation Cadet Selection
Board, Atlanta, Ga„ at the High
school Thursday morning.
Ensign Sheppard, who is working
with the Wilmington Civilian Naval
Aviation committee to enlist 17-year
old high school seniors and graduates
for Naval Aviation Cadet training,
outlined the Navy's new- enlistment
program that accepts 17-year-olds
and permits them to complete their
educatlon before going to active
training duty.
Their flight training will not be
gin until after they have reached
the age of eighteen, he said. A
scholastic requirement for enlist
ment is that to be eligible, an ap
plicant must be in the upper half
of his class. The applicant must al
so be recommended as to moral
character and qualities of leadership,
by an anonymous board composed
of not less than three members of
the faculty of his school.
Ensign Sheppard pointed out that
young men so enlisted will be as
sured of receiving officer pilot train
ing leading to their “Wings of Gold’’
and commissions as Ensigns in the
Naval Reserve, or Second Lieuten
ants in the Marine Corps Reserve.
Their year’s training will begin at
one of several colieges for indoctri
nation and instruction, after which
they will be transferred to Naval air
stations for further training.
The civilian committee here is
composed of W. A. Fonvielle, B. B.
Cameron and J. G. Thornton.
