; I?OWDEN regarded Petrel for a
i minute. He grunted. Looking
hack over the years he had known
the two Mallones. he had to admit
that, up to the present, she had
certainly helped, rather than hin
dered Peter. Perhaps it might be
•s well to give ner a little sound
advice on his behalf? She was
more likely to listen than he was.
She seemed to have her pretty
head well screwed on, this slender,
girl. whon. he was be
ginning to like so well. She had
common sense, combined with
imagination, and emotional con
trol. He had discovered her
strength, the day she flev to Ger
many with such determination.

I’ll hand you the works. Petrel.

and golden rules for all journal

envelope. “1 shall write them out
for you. See that Peter digests
them, will you? There are a good

“Like throwing away blotting
paper, and never saying important
things over telephones?"
“Yes. and managing to stay in a

Petrel nodded. ‘So that wrs it!
I couldn’t help liking him. Poor

be guarded very carefully?”
“Yes."
“Ought you and I to know?"

“I may tell Peter but probably

*That’s right When will you

“The day aflei tomorrow. 1 won

half laughing. ‘Where do you

Rowdon cocked an amused eve at
her.
“He believes in asking tor

offered to have the girl and boy to
stay. But they never came.”
“If I were you. I’d keep ex
tremely clear of any Russian rela
tions," advised Martin Rowdon.
But although he did not wish to do
so. he found himself pigeon-holing
the information she had given him
in his mind. It might be useful at
some future date.
“I think you will find it health
ier. and much more beautiful in
Czechoslovakia,” he smiled at her.
They spent the following Christ
mas in England, at the cottage.
Petronella returned home two
weeks ahead of Peter. She left him
in'Yugoslavia. She wanted to put
the? cottage in order. Her move to
thefr little home at the gate of the
re-occupied “Forest House" had
beet, twice prevented. First, by
he/ joining Peter In Vienna. Next,
after the operation in London,
which had put his troublesome
shoulder right again, when he was
sent to Madrid. James and Mrs.
Randall had had to come to the
rescue, and supervise the final re
decorations, and the addition of
the bathroom. Now she stayed
three days with them, while the
rest of the furniture was at last
moved ii- Once more, she spent
busy days sewing curtains.
She had plenty to engage her
NAMES OMITTED
Local chairman of the Histori
cal Pageant committee, who
staged the successful pageant in
Bayview Park last Friday eve
ning, and who were responsible
for the news release in Satur
day’s paper, inadvertently left
out the names of the following ■
mind. Her memories rendered her
glad to be at home again. Strange,
the way travel changed your idea
of travel. When you accompanied
a war correspondent, she qualified
the thought. Before she saw Spain,
the name “Seville” had vaguely
suggested sunshine on the old
stone of castle walls, white, dusty
roads, castanets, the light music
of guitars, orange groves. Now it
conjured up anxiety for their
friends the Mataxa’s, heat, dust,
fear, firing. When she thought of
Spain, Petrel saw in her mind a
little old woman in black running
across a sun-scorched street. She
saw her throw up her arms and
fall, to lie in a spreading pool of
her own dark red blood. She had
lain in full view of their hotel
window, like that, long afte r Peter
had gone out, to make sure that
she was dead.
Before she accompanied Peter
to Eastern Europe, she had imag
ined colorful, comic opera coun
tries Now, she rememhered drab,
angry little soldiers in shabby
uniforms, shouting absurd insults
at one another, across the neck of
neutral road between their fron
tier barriers. She saw a Bulgarian
civilian, angrier than the rest, be
cause he found himself compelled
to live among his enemies, sud
denly whip out an old-fashioned
revolver, and fire a wild shot
which hit the hindquarters of
an inoffensive mule. Sufficient!
Thanks to Peter’s gift for being
m the right place at the right mo
ment, she no longer associated
Yugoslavia with music, footlights,
and Drury Lane. She remembered
how, for five miles, inwardly hys
terical. outwardly calm, she had
held a sopped handkerchief to the
face of a young man. who looked
like losing the sight pf his right
eye. They had driven him in the
car to the hospital.
Ransom
\VVEEK before Chnstmas,
James asked her to spend a
:!;;y shopping in town, and to meet
him for dinner, and a theater, in
the evening.
She war just about tr> start the
car. to drive herself to the station
to catch her train, when she saw
the maid from the "Forest House."
She was running down the path.
She waved; she was carrying a
letter. Petronella waited. She had
been to dinner with the new peo
ple who had taken her old home.
Their name was Harringay. They
were a kind, middle-aged couple,
with no children. They had taken
Mary on as cook, Hodgson as their
gardener. This girl was their new
kitchenmaid.
“Good morning. Miss Petrel.
This letter come—look! Cook won
dered if she might have the
stamps. Russian, she says they
are.” The envelope was addressed
“Miss Morovitch.”
Petrel looked at the letter. She
took an instant dislike to it. She
tore it open, and gave the girl the
heavily postmarked stamps.
She read. Her first reaction was
anger, her second, fear. The Ogpu
had arrested one named Boris
Morovitch. and were holding him
in custody until his relatives in
England paid eight hundred rubles
ransom. Mow much was that?
What had this cousin done? Why
had he been arrested? If they sent
tlie money, would he be allowed
to leave Russia? Petronella went
slowly into the house again. She
telephoned the Daily News office,
and was put through to Martin
Rowdon. He greeted her gladly.
“Can I come and see you today?
I've had a letter 1 don’t like, or
understand It is from the Soviet
Government. I’d like to show it to
you. It was sent to my aunt.”
She heard his exclamation. T
I can't manage lunen. Can you dine
; at my home? My wife wants to
meet you ”
“I’m sorry, the fair haired young
man is taking me to the theater."
“Sensible girl. Glad to hear it.
You'll enjoy it.’ Come straight
along here. then. Petrel, as soon
as you get to town.”
On more she sat in Martin
Rowdon s outer office, waiting to
see him. But this time, she waited
only a few moments. He rose from
his desk He shook both her hands.
He sat with the letter smoothed
out before him. scowling at it. He
raised his rough gray head.
“It’s a lot of money. Can you
afford it? You’ve been selected as
a sufferer from the Ogpu traffic in
ransoms. They simply arrest citi
zens having relatives abroad, and.
without accusing them of any
thing. name the amount of ran
som. If you don’t pay, your cousin
will remain in prison While you're
about it. it would probably be
cheaper to pay a little more, and
1 get him out of the country. Other
wise, he may be imprisoned
again."
“But it’s simply scurrilous!”
"Personally. I should ignore it
It’s a pity you gave cook the
stamps It might have been re-di
rected back ‘address unknown.’"
“But the poor wretch would be
kept in prison.”
“I expect so.”
*Tve never seen him, but he is
my cousin His father was mother’s
brother. We shall have to pay. The
trouble is. both his sister and
father are living. It may cost us
more. * believe my father will con
tribute as much as he can afford
whe.i he hears about it. He was
very fond of mother." Martin
Rowdon sat looking at the letter
for a moment He raised his eyes
again. He had made up his mind.

Ball Grand Success
Key West Yacht Club Costume'
Ball Saturday evening was voted*
a huge success by tne committee
in-charge, with over 300 guests
assembling in the Casa Marina
Patio.
Beautiful, nautical decorations
had been furnished by the com
mittee working in co-operation j
with Peter Schutt, manager of
the hotel, and over half of the
guests were in elaborate costumes
with masks, ranging from Ferd-!
inand the Bull get-ups to pirates,
kings, queens, and a host of oth
er original and dressy affairs.
Guy Carleton acted as master
of ceremonies. Following the
Grand March, prizes were award- :
ed for best costumes. Winners 1
were: D. A. Printz* for the best
comical costume; Mrs. George j
Hardenberg, best original cos
tume, and Mrs. Peter Schutt, the
most beautiful costume.
Visiting yachtsmen were hon-;
ored guests at the Ball, and a
good number of them were in
attendance, though the tiring ex
periences of the race from Ha
l vana to Key West found some of
the crew members absent. The
Ball was planned to finance ad-;
ditional Garrison Bight operations
for the Club, and to finance cost
incidental to the yacht race.
