Everything that was worth being discovered about steel had been known for over twenty years. And yet what if steel could be manufactured strong as ever and sixty per cent lighter? He shut his eyes to avoid the necessity of talk ing to a sallow rice broker from Cochin China who, puffy cheeked and green bronze with malaria, came by, parading his newest pe tite amie, a frightened looking Russian child. At the outside she would be seventeen, North esti mated. In a mild effort to escape com plete boredom, North tried to di vert himself in stud vine fat old Colonel Dupleix and his faded blonde wife. . Why did so many retired army offiers linger in Shanghai? Perhaps like Captain Nicholas, late of the Indian army, he really didn't want to live there. There were a lot of people who, for obscure reasons, lingered on and on in the International Settlement, comfortable in the knowledge that the longer arm of extradition could never drag them away. Light-weight steel? So deep into his arm chair sank the man from G-2 that a copy of L'lllustration fell from his knees, but he made only a faint attempt to recover it. It seemed incredible that by adding a new mineral the twentieth cen tury's fundamental metal could be rendered little less ponderous than bronze. North blinked. Why, by heaven, trains, autos, buildings, battleships planes all would be revolution ized! If the Consul-General hadn't exaggerated there could be no doubt that the nation owning and guarding well such a secret could ipso facto become the paramount Power.: "Ehfcien, mon ami Hugh, ca va?" Passiblement, bien merci." We make up a table of baccarat, you will join us, no?" Command ant Du Bois, the French military attache, was standing above him, smiling and trim in his blue, red and silver uniform. Again H struck North as odd that the French and other Continentals should cling bo passionately to uniform off duty, while Anglo-Saxons shed them at the first opportunity. "Thanks, Etieme," the Ameri can's rather Indian-like head tilted comfortably against his chair back, "another time I should be delisrht- ed. I'm tired and this rain de presses me." "Ah, what a cow of a day." The Frenchman's shrug was inimitably Gallic. "I understand. It is like trying to be gay at a funeral. But if you feel inclined, meet me in the bar later. I have with a friend who just landed." "From the Empress of Finland?" "Yes. A most charming lady. She said' the voyage was of the most miserable. A biento." "See you later," smiled North and promptly relapsed into his state of troubled inactivity. One of the discoverers of the new pro cess had decided to overlook ethics and to cash in on it. Well, it wasn't to be wondered at Army officers were Jby no means overpaid. Moodily twirling a liqueur glass between blunty sensitive fingers, North debated whether the Em press of Finland might not have numbered among her passengers the subject of his conversation with Consul-General Reardon one Luther Adams, late major of the Chemical Warfare Corps? Possibly G-2 in Washington had been point edly confident that the deserter would eventually turn up in Shang. hai, prime haven for the world's rogues. Dispassionately' Hugh North tried to picture thisLuther Adams. Thanks to a very meager descrip tion, his imagination would have a free rein for another five hours. By that time his cable to the D. C. I. division should remedy the deft' ciency. - . Light-weight steel! Urn. Its possibilities were limitless stag' gering. No wonder the temptation to realize a fortune on it had been too much for Major Adams. (To be Continued) Sutton-Messer Reunion Will Be Held July 4th Plans are underway for the Sutton-Messer reunion which will be held on July fourth on upper Cove Creek at the John Sutton estate. R. P. Sutton, president of the organization, requests all connec tions of both families to make plans to attend. It won't be long now till the girls who haven't anything to wear will call it a bathing suit. 16 Haywood County Mars Hill College Sixteen students from Haywood attended Mars Hill College this year.
