faced by the problem of finding a I Protestant clergyman willing to 1 many, a divorcee—Mrg. JVarfleld, her new legal name. It Is expected that the duke's wedding day will be made public some time next week, in tbe form of an announcement In lhe official “court circular." which records activities of the royal family. By that time, the place and form of the ceremony are to be de- , cided. 11 the duke elects to be mar-| tied at the British embassy at Paris, witli a clergyman officiating. it is believed likely that the government may recede from its opposition to the attendance of ■ one or more members of the royal family. But if he decided to lie martied at tlie Chateau De Cande at Monts. France, where he is a fellow guest with Mrs. Warfield, It is said that the government may insist that no member of the fain- ; ily attend even incognito, because a ceremony at the chateau would undoubtedly lie a civil one under French law Dr. Charles .Mercier. I mayor of Monts, would officiate. Mrs. Warfield Is said to favor a chateau wedding, semi-public. But ft is reported here that the government holds it would not be in keeping with the dignity of the royal family to lie represented at a wedding there. It is likely that before the wed-' ding. King George and Prime .Minister Stanley Baldwin will reach an amicable agreement, I which most people believe will leave the Duke of Kent, the youngest of the four royal brothers, free to attend the wedding in some capacity. Neither the king nor Baldwin was expected to take i | any course that would make the ; Duke of Windsor's wedding his last activity of public moment for ; a long time, people here hope—the occasion for any ill feeling.

CHAPTER XXX “How," Sandy asked, “did you come to acquire this interesting family 7" “Through my weakness for the princely gesture and a certain sense of loyalty toward those who at different times have suffered through serving me faithfully. I looked up their dependents and provided for them. The other four I nominally adopted when they were small children. I arranged for their education and support up to their coming of age, when I made settlements on them. Unfortunately they have not turned out as well as one might hope.” “How did they happen to foregather?" Sandy asked. “That was an error on my part, committed over three years ago. Just before sailing to elose up certain interests in the Far East I assembled them in New York for what I fondly hoped would be the final settlement of my intentions in their behalf. They expresed themselves as entirely content with the arrangements made. To my own satisfaction Vinckers and Hester were mutually attracted and married, when Jarvis and Flavia decided to follow their excellent example. I gave them handsome wedding presents in addition to my other provisions and thought that I had done my duty and might rest in peace and tranquillity It never occurred to me that they would join forces in a conspiracy against me.” “Did they know about Isobel?” Sandy asked. "Ah, there was the rub. They did . not, at that time. loiter they learned about her and felt that I had put one over on them. That was what has led to all this.” Sandy reflected for a moment. “Well, it looks as if they had managed to jam the gears so far as concerns your plans for Isobel, Colonel. Pride is as you say her caste mark so that I don’t think she will be willing to remain a member of your idopted family. She is going to pick up her skirts and step politely out of it." “But dammit man, why should she?" the Colonel demanded testily. “There's not one drop of the same blood in the whole boiling of us." “No, and she loves you very dearly,” Sandy said gently. “But the trouble is, the source of benefit has been a common one ... I mean the same.” “Well, what of it?" the Colonel challenged. “Is there anything to be ashamed of in accepting the bounty of a personage like myself who has been at different times the power behind '.hrones and presidencies and sultanates and dictatorships . . even if none of them were such groat shakes," he added with a grim smile. “I have been a bit of an autocrat myself at odd moments, hither and yon all over the globe. An admiral in China and general in Central America, pasha in Turkey and was once for some months rajah of an island in the Banda Sea until the ammuntion ran out. It ought to be an honor, sir, to -be under my patronage, by gad.” He leaned forward, thumped his desk, glowered at Sandy for a moment from under his white bushy eyebrows, then leaned back and said with a sudden return to his habitual serenity and a sort of boyish candor: “Oh, well . . after all, it’s a lot of tosh." “What is?" Sandy asked. “My stuff. Cowrie shell courts, Turcoman titles, Mandarin muck, black-and-tan bunk ... my whole bally show Rings on my fingers, bells on my toes, elephants to ride upon and all the rest of the opera bouffe. After all. at best I was never more than a rather elever gun-running scamp and a really able mining engineer, if I say it as

I Wallis Warfield remained In the ' seclusion of the Chateau De Cande this morning after listening to yesterday’s coronation program in London The weather was excellent and the duke was expected to golf this afternoon or tour the countryside with Mrs Warfield. It was expected that by tonight he would have a special movie film he ordered of the coronation. Ho hoped to get It last night but | It was delayed. o Burrell Wright Quits Republican Committee Indianapolis, May 13 —(UP)—Burrell Wright, treasurer of the Republican state committee and undefire tor more than two years for alleged bi-partisanship" reeirned today. He submitted his resignation at a meeting of close party friends in the Columbia club after a conference with former U. S. Senator James E. Watson. Wright could not be reached for a statement immediately hut friends said he resigned "in the Interest of the party harmony". He had been criticized repeatedly during the last, two years for accepting a position as attorney for the Indiana Brewers Association which placed him in close connection with a heavily Democratic state legislature and Frank McHale, leader in the McNutt anj Townsend Democratic ad- : ministrations. o COMMITTEE IN prom ""on j months, additional funds may be required later. Hopkins estimated that an average of 1,730,000 could be provided with relief jolts during the next fiscal year under the 11,500,000,000 program. At present he said 2.225,000 are on the rolls. The full committee's support for

shouldn't. You tell Isobel that’s really where the loot came from, but that it was by no means always that. I know mines and I know natives and elephants and some dozen languages with twice as many lingoes, and aside from that I’m just a kindly old fraud. Tell her that, Sandy. There’s a good chap.” For the first time Sandy was inclined to believe that the Colonel might really be all that he had formerly claimed and possibly more. There is no dash of modesty, of self disparagement in General Paresis. Its delusions of grandeur are a superiority simplex, rather than complex. It rears grandiosely until it totters backward in collapse. He shook his head. “No, Colonel, that wouldn’t be good psychology.” “Why not? If she believes me to be the whale of a rascal I proclaimed myself a little while ago she's apt to quit ms cold. Ecfuse anything more from me. Then there’s no telling what she mightn’t do. She hasn’t a rupee of her own, and I warned you once that there’s nothing she’d hate so much as to play beggar maid to her husband’s King Oophetua. You might lose her. “I'd rather take that chance than have her tremendous love and admiration for you fall flat That nearly happened and it made her sick.” “But wouldn’t she rather I were a kindly old fraud than a bloody pirate ?” “She would not She’s a woman of spirit A reformed pirate, yes ... but not one only in a diseased imagination. She’d be crushed to think you that sort of sham.”

The Colonel’s face blazed out again. “Mash’Allah, sir, but I believe you’re right. Kismet What I told you rides." He smote the desk until the room quivered as if in a seismic shock. "And if you insist on proof, then you needn't go farther than Nassau. Ask the Governor. He know his East Indies, too. Ask His Excellency if he ever heard of the Red Rajah of the Banda Sea ... my thatch was fiery in those days . . . and see what he says. But you needn’t tell him that the Rajah has shifted his base to the Bahamas ...’’ He checked in full course, stared at the doorway and gulped, stopped talking as if somebody had switched off his loud speaker. Sandy swung round in his chair and saw Isobel standing on the threshold. She had, he guessed, come within earshot in time to catch the last of the Colonel’s impassioned discourse. But she did not look shocked, dismayed. Her eyes were starry and there was a high flush on her cheeks. Sandy perceived instantly that his psychology about her had been exact. Perhaps this would have been true in the case of any young woman of her caste and spirit. It might be a blow to her now to be convinced that for years she had lived on the bounty of an arch desperado and disturber of the peace of many satrapies. But even that, Sandy was quick to understand, u’as far easier to bear than a blow from the hammer of the iconoclast • • • As they stood leaning against the parapet of the terrace with the still darkness all about, Isobel said softly: “And so the old dear really was the sort of bashi-bazouk he described himself, and now he is a romantic figure of the past.” “All of that, I’m afraid,” Sandy admitted. “Very likely more. But he had his saving grace. He paid his shot.” “Well, I suppose I'm unscrupulous, Sandy, but I'd rather he were that than a fraud or a paretic. Especially the former.” “It blazes out of him still,” Sandy said. “His sword 1b sheathed and the flame of his torch no more than

the president's $1,500,000,000 fund today came after a sub-committee had voted five to four to cut the amount one third. The sub-com-mittee, headed by Rep. Clifford Woodrum. D., Va., was overridden after administration loaders put pressure on the committee, composed of 28 Democrats and 11 Republicans, to vote with the White House. Hopkins characterized relief aid as a possibly permanent federal obligation, predicting that between 4,500,000 and 5,000,000 persons were likely to remain Idle even with a full return of prosperity. WPA plans for spending the sl,500.000.000, Hopkins said, call for $75,000,000 to be allocated to the resettlement administration foi rehabilitation loans and grants to needy farm families.

a red glow, but it flares up in a sudden gust.” “Yes . . . for a moment he was terrible. When he accused Vinckers of stealing the necklace. Vinckers didn’t know that it was your present to me. I hadn’t shown it. or told about it.” “You were right. They didn't seem the proper audience for a display of gems.” “Hester told me all about it poor thing. She’s not so bad, Sandy. They are none of them so bad. Just pitiful. They never had the right sort of a show. No parental love, no background, no ties to keep them right. Jarvis was naturally a wrong one. Flavia’s about to cut away from him. Her father was a shipping agent in Shanghai, but she was sent to San Francisco to school. Poor things. They’re four pathetic irresponsibles. Hester got mixed up in some revolutionary movement in Moscow.” “What’s to happen to them?” Sandy asked. “I don’t know. But it’s not for us happy ones to smash them.” “I’m sorry now I did." Sandy said, contritely. “Oh, that was nerves. Let’s leave them here.” “What?” “Leave them with Uncle. He understands them. If they get round him, work on his soft old heart, what of it? I don’t care, and certainly you don’t Let them have it all.” She pressed closer, gave her low laugh. “You’ve got your stockings, old sweet . . . and I’ve got you.”

Sandy caught her in his arms, absorbed her honey sweetness for a fourth dimensional period of space and time, then loosened his fragrant armful and dived through the house to the office where the Colonel was still sorting his papers. The ancient pirate, if indeed he was that thing, looked round questioningly. “Colonel Carlton . . .” “Mr. Crewe . . .” “What should you say, sir, was my keynote?” “Well, right off the bat I’d call it fast bowling. Speed.” “Right. I’m sailing for Nassau in half an hour. To get married there. Isobel is coming, too.” “The one,” said the Colonel, twinkling, “would seem to embrace the other.” “Such is the ultimate object. You must come too. If there’s any delay through formalities we shall shove on for Miami. How soon can you start?” “Now,” said the Colonel, and swung shut the safe door. Sandy ran back on to the terrace. He placed his boat whistle to his lips and blew a wailing call. A blinker flashed out there in the murk. Then Sandy turned to the other siren at his side. “Run and pack, and quick. The richest cargo yet is going aboard.” Isobel gave her muted laugh. “I go, avatar of Levantine merchant princes. History repeats itself. There’s no doubt at all that centuries ago you traded in silks and spices and apes and peacocks and emeralds and amethysts and carried them in your galley through the Pillars of Hercules and north to barter for tin and copper and barley corn. Once you put into a lonely island and stole a girl who was waiting for you without your knowing it, or knowing it herself, and that girl was I.” “Yes,” Sandy said, “and that cargo was the richest of them all.” Isobel tilted back her head. She sang softly, extemporizing the tuneful verse: “Heart-beats, pledges, sunny seas, bright stars and golden honeymoons... CopyrUht HS« by Mn. Knury C. Bowlan!
