PAGE TWO QfWpMAIWO SM)l£s ** Ji'jtuozvX' creator of jQtpin®} EE AD THIS MUST: Fifteen years "before me story opens Elisabeth Domain, a beautiful singer, who is a divorcee, is mysteri ously murdered as she sings on a high mound on the pretentious coun try estate of Monsieur and Madame dc Jouvellc at Volnie for the enter tainment of the latter’s luncheon guests, including the Marquis Jean d’Erlemont, a distinguished society favorite. The tragedy caused the de Jourclles to sell their chateau but the identity of the purchaser could siot be learned; in fact it seas occu pied only by a caretaker, uho died, and then his uife. Chief Inspector Gorgeret, uho had narked on the Volnie chateau mystery years before, without success, and his aide, Fla mant, arc endeavoring to arrest one. Blonde Clara, friend of Big Paul, a fugitive crook, who is scheduled to arrive by train at Saint-Lazare. A pretty girl alights from the train who they presume is Blonde Clara and they follow her. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STOHYj CHAPTER 3 BUT GOROERET was too old a hand at the game to "stick close" in actual fact to a young woman who had already given him the slip so cleverly, and who must necessarily be on the alert. He kept well In the background, observing the hesitation —real or assumed —of Rlonde Clara, who seemed to be trying to find her way out of the station as though it were her first experience of Saint - Lazars. It was easily apparent that she was too timid to ask the way, and just fluttered about as though uncertain of her destination. "She’s a clever young thing!" mut tered Gorgeret. “Why?” "She’ll never make me believe she doesn’t know the way out of the sta tion! If she’s pretending no* to know, it’s because she thinks she may be followed and she’s taking precautions.” "I believe you’re right,” agreed Flamant. "She looks like a person with someone on her trail! Rathar nice girl, too . . . easy to look at.” “Now, now, Flamant. hold hard! Clara’s a very sought-after young person. Big Paul’s crazy about her. Hullo, she's allowed herself to find the stairs at last. Here’s where v»e hurry! ’’ They followed the girl down thv stairs to the Cour de Rome just out side the station. There she hailed a taxi. Gorgeret got close to her. He saw her take an envelope from her bag and read the address on it to the chauffeur. Although she spoke in a low voice, he distinctly heard her say: “Drive to C 3 Qua! Voltaire.” She got into the taxi. Gorgeret In turn hailed a cab. But at that pre cise moment the detective from the prefecture whom he had so impa tiently awaited came up to him. "Ah, there yon are at last, Renaud!” grunted Gorgeret. "Got that warrant?" "Here it is,” said the man, giving Gorgeret the warrant and further in structions. Alone once more, Gorgeret found that, the taxi he had hailed had dis appeared, and Clara’s taxi had turned 1 the corner of the square. • He wasted another three or four minutes finding another taxi. But 1 the delay didn't matter. He knew 1 the address. "Sixty-three Quai Voltaire," he di rected the chauffeur who drove up. But Gorgeret might have felt less 1 eelf-satisfied had he known that, someone had shadewed himself and Flamant from the moment when '• they leaned against a pillar In the 1 station, waiting for Train 368. This 1 someone was a slim man of medium 1 height, bearded and of a bronzed 1 complexion. He w r ore a dark green raincoat, somewhat the worse for wear. Unobserved by the detectives, 1 he had managed to steal up close to ] their taxi just as Gorgeret gave the 1 address And as their taxi started, : he jumped into another that had just, driven up, telling the driver: "Sixty-three Quai Voltaire, and ] ■tep on it!" Number C 3 Quai Voltaire was a ] high gray house whose big window.-: overlook the River Seine. The i ground floor and part of the first ' floor wera occupied by an antique i shop and a bookshop.

Monsieur Raoul’s flat was just over the lodge and below the rooms occupied by the marquis’ secretary. A rather dark hall led straight into the drawing room. To the right was a bedroom, to the left the bathroom. On that particular afternoon the drawing room was empty. It was barely furnished with odd pieces picked up here and there. There had been no attempt at arranging the room; it lacked any intimacy, look ing like a temporary abode, a forced refuge that the tenant might at tiny moment be called upon to leave. An armchair was drawn up, back to the door, between the two win dows overlooking the beautiful per spective of the Seine. Close to it on the right was a small table on which stood a sort of casket like a receptacle for liqueurs. A grandfather clock against the wall had just struck four. Two min utes passed. Then came three knocks on the ceiling, at regular in tervals, like the three strokes an nouncing the rise of the curtain in some theaters. There followed three more knocks. Then a hell shrilled, the sound seeming to come from near the liqueur casket, like a muffled telephone ringing. Then silence again. And then it began over again. Three raps on the ceiling, followed by the muffled ringing of a telephone bell, only this time the bell continued shrilling from the liqueur casket as though from a musical box. “For heaven’s sake!” groaned the husky voice of one just awakened in the drawing room. “What the hell is It?" An arm slowly emerged from the right side of the armchair facing the windows, an arm that stretched out to the casket, raised its lid, and seized the telephone concealed within. The telephone was engulfed in the armchair, and the voice, a little NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE. Under and by virtue of authority vested in that certain deed of trust executed and delieverd to R.

But the tele phone conversation must have com pletely roused him, for he lit a cig aret, still curled in the hollow 7 of his chair. Rings of blue smoke rose above the back of the armchair. The clock pointed to 10 past four. Suddenly an electric hell started ringing at the flat door. At the same moment, a panel hetween the two windows slid back, apparently worked by some hidden mechanism set in action by the electric bell. A rectangular space about the size of a small looking glass tvas Ji*- closed, revealing a mirror like a luminous cinema screen, in which was reflected a girl’s charming face framed in golden hair. Monsieur Raoul sprang to his feet, exclaiming aloud: “Heavens! What a InveTy grea* ture! ’’ He stood gazing upon the face for a moment. No, he could not re member ever having seen her before. Pressing a button in the wall, ha made the panel slide back into place. Then he examined his own reflection in an ordinary mirror that showed him a w 7 ell set-up man of about 35, faultlessly dressed and flawlessly groomed.

By EMI EE GAUVREAU Editor of the New York Mirror Written for Central Press and Daily Dispatch. New York, Dec. 7.—ls you should ever see a play in Russia remember that the audience believes the story unfolded on the stage is not play-act ing but something transpiring in real life. Attending my first night perfor mance in Russia I was more interest ed in the reaction of the audience than in the play itself. The first play I saw in Moscow which had crowded an audience to the rafters, had to do with a straving artist who was trying to paint a mas terpiece and make enough money out of it to marry his sweetheart. The background was Paris and the Latin Quarter. On the scene appeared a mail in a long overcoat. eH was muffled into it up to his chin and walked about as if he had been moved on casters. One sensed instinctively that he would develop into the comedian before the first act was over. Revealed as Premier Soon, the man in the long overcoat revealed himself as a Premier of France with a red sash and many sparkling decorations. He attracted the attention of the attractive sweet heart of the artist after their eviction by a soulless landlady who cared nothing about art. This scene takes place in the French Latin Quarter. The man with the decorations cap tures the lady, buys her an excellent dinner and fine clothes and she leaves the artist. The Russians sat in a tense attitude as this story developed. There Were some mutterings when the man with the decorations stole the sweet heart from the artist. Conscience Pricks In the next act the artist’s sweet heart manifests some pangs of con science. She pours out her soul in a fine soprano voice. There are three encores before the comedian comes in, dressed in his diplomatic uniform. The young lady has decided to go back to her starving sweetheart. The decorated diplomat hovers about and hides in a packing case at the rendezvous while the lovers meet. He pops into his crate as the lovers turn about. At this point the Russian audienec bursts into laughter. Two brawny men appear and turn the crate over, bouncing it and making it uncomfort able for the inhabitant hiding in its wooden covers. When the comedian emerges again he is blinded with saw dust and brushes it out of his hair as the audience howls with laughter. In this instance the comedian had to repeat the performance before the big mass of people outside of the footlights could be quieted down. Need less to say the artist recovered his sweetheart and left the French pre mier in complete discomfiture. The Russians were satisfied and went home in street cars, hanging to the side doors, practically being drag ged through the streets as the car groaned along the rails. A Russian Theme The next performance I saw in the same theatre had to do with a tyram nical Russian grand duke who went to sleep after having failed to decide between 20 beautiful chorus girls ders sed as peasants’ daughters. Before he dozed off on the stage, while the chorus danced intricate steps which might have kindled the envy of George White, the grand duke amus ed himself by attempting to spit on a certain mark about which a number of his courtiers were gathered. All this was in pantomine but rocked the audience with laughter. This bit of vulgarity could be forgotten when one listened to the music from a superb orchestra and a perfectly trained bal let in brilliant costumes. There are brilliant theatres in Mos cow and Leningrad. They fascinate the foreign visitors. The classic operas and the ballots continue to be given in the Bolshoi theater, once the Grand Opera House in which the czar appeared with his family on first nights. Workers Occupy Royal Box Now the royal box is crowded by workers and peasants in their work ing clothes and caps, leaning over the plush coverings and laughing at their comrades who came in later and had to be satisfied with more obscure seats. Few will admit that the Moscow Art theater is not the best of its kind in the world. You will find, also, that the cinema has been raised to a fine art in Russia. There is a certain ori inality in the Russian theater which will never be forgotten by those who have enjoyed its performance. REFORESTATION TO RECEIVE EMPHASIS Facilities for Producing Seedlings As Planting Stock Are Greatly Increased DnPy Dlspn'tf h Burma. In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Dec. 7.—Facilities for the greatest emphasis ever placed on the reforestation phase of forestry in North Carolina will be made available next season through cooperation of the Civilian Conservation Corps, State Forester J. S. Holmes asserted today. The first step in this program, Mr. Holmes pointed out, is the increase in facilities for producing seedlings as planting stock at the Department of Conservation and Development nur sery, near Clayton in Johnston coun ty. Preparations are now being made, he said, to plant seed enough to pro duce approximately three times the former distribution from the nursery.

The said defendants, Mary Marrow and John Gales will further take notice shat they are required to ap pear at the office of the Clerk of Su perior Court of Vance County at the Court HoUse in Henderson, N.

This the 16th day of November, 1933 HENRY PERRY, Clerk of Superior Court, Vance County D. P. McDuffee, Attorney for Plaintiffs. lished at the Clayton nursery with 12 men detailed for the purpose of help ing to increase the productive capacity Temporary barracks are being con structed at thie nursery for quarters of the men during the next several months. As a result, or me allotment of la bor, Mr. Holmes estimated that it will be possible to produce a million or more seedlings for reforestation next year in comparison to a former aver age of around 350,000. These seed lings are distributed to landowners at a price less than the cost of pro duction, to encourage the planting of denuded areas. The State forester said that it is the plan of officials of the conser vation department to put all land in the 14 1-2 acre nursery property suit able for the purpose in seed beds this winter for the anticipated bumper crop of planting stock. As demanded for seedlings increases, he hopes that the capacity of the nursery may be expanded still further. Bearskins are put into moth-balls ...when Winter hits the North Pole!
