CHAPTER I IT looked to Captain Hugh North, D. C. 1., as if this was going to be a dull evening — something exceptional at the Cercle Sportif Francais. At the prospect he experienced an indefinable resentment and morosely surveyed desolate expanses of a lounge which would normally be seething with that unconquerable if febrile vivacity of the French. At the Cercle men as a rule were only as proper as they had to be and women were as dashing as they dared. Yes, tonight was an off night. Customarily one could recognize a plethora of second flight diplomats, self important consular attaches, debt harassed army officers, hard bitten adventurers and downright blackguards a-plenty. One could provoke a conversation on any topic under the sun—be it the latest and bloodiest Tuchun war to the proper planting of tea roses. As varied and disputable would have been the ladies in attendance; they ranged from the French Con-sul-General’s sedate grande dame, co-regent of Mme. la Repubiique’s little satrapy in Shanghai, to a certain questionable Russian princess whose morals, indeed, were not questionable at all. Especially Hugh North would have enjoyed watching the Cercle’s Russian, Italian and Spanish members, as well as those few inexplicable Americans who, like himself, preferred a vital if non-exclusive tableau to the stodgy conservatism of the Shanghai Club. Tonight, however, light rain and a damp wind sifting down from the upper Yangtze with the piercing effectiveness of a bayonet had reduced the gathering to a minimum. “Just my usual muddy luck, Wong,” North remarked to the lounge steward. “And I was wanting a breather.” “Breatha, sah? My not know that cocktail, sah.” Wong looked desperately uneasy. "My ask bar ; man.” “Never mind, Wong—just tell b’.m ' to turn off that wretched rain in-, stead.” Buck teeth glimmered with comprehension. “Yessah, Cappen, my tellem. Cigar, sah?” “No. I’ll smoke my pipe—no ladiea to object tonight.” North settled back, his brain yet vibrant with tension. It had been a bad half hour he’d spent standing in the Consul-General’s private office listening and looking out on the yellow, rain-lashed Whangpoc. Os course Mr. Reardon had exaggerated. 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 talking to a sallow rice broker from Cochin China who, puffy cheeked and green bronze with malaria, came by, parading his newest petite amie, a frightened looking Russian child. At the outside she would be seventeen, North estimated. In a mild effort to escape complete boredom, North tried to divert himself in studying fat old Colonel Dupieix and his faded blonde wife. Why did so many retired army officers linger in Shanghai? Perhaps like Captain Nicholas, late of the Indian army, he really didn’t want

jectured as the value of this estate soon after hie death at Southampton, L. 1., on Aug. 26. 1937, the esI tate, except for a email portion of It is to be turned over to the A. W. I Mellon educational and charitable trust to be devoted to charitable [ and educational purposes. In the inventory filed today was ! listed approximately $35000,000 In j personal property. This appraisal excluded Mellon's real estate holding®. which are estimated to be worth $2,000,000. Gifts Deplete Estate As the inventory fas filed, H*. M. Johnson, secretary of the late Mel lon, isued a brief explanatory statement pointing out various g'fts the financier had given during his life-

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 long arm of extradition eould never drag them away. Light-weight steel ? So deep into his armchair 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. Lightweight steel? It seemed incredible that by adding a new mineral the twentieth ' century’s fundamental metal could be rendered little less ponderous than bronze.

\TI WvW “We make up a table of baccarat. You will join us, no?” Commandant Du Bois asked.

North blinked. Why, by heaven, trains, autos, buildings, battleships —planes—all would be revolutionized 1 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. "Eh bien, mm ami Hugh, ca va?” "rasriblement, bien merci." “We make up a table of baccarat, you will join us, no?” Commandant bu Bois, the French military attache, was standing above him, smiling and trim in his blue, red and silver uniform. Again it struck North as odd that the French and other Continentals should cling so passionately to uniform off duty, while Anglo-Saxons shed them at the first opportunity. "Thanks, Etierme,” the American’s rather Indian-like head tilted comfortably againet his chair back, "another time I should be delighted. I’m tired and this rain depresses me.” “Ah. what • cow of a day.” The Frenchman’s shrug was inimitably

Mme, these gifts cutting down the value of his estate al his death. “During his lifetime, In addition to bls large philanthropies to public. Institutions in Pittsburgh, such as tho University of Plttsbuigh, and the Mellon institute of industrial research and other public, charitable and educational projects, Mr. Mellon gave to his charitable trust securities and cash to a value of over $35,000,000 and a collection of works of art estimated by expert* to be approximately $50,000,010, the statement said. His charitable trust now is constructing a $15,000,000 national gallery of art in Washington to House the art ollectlon that has been given to the nation. An endowment truet

Gallic. “I understand. It is like trying to be gay at a funeral. But if you feel inclined, meet me in the bar iater. I have with me 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 bientot." “See you later,” smiled North and promptly relapsed into his state of troubled inactivity. One of the discoverers of the new process had decided to overlook ethics and to cash in on it. Well, it wasn’t to be wondered at—Army officers were by no means overpaid.

Moodily twirling a liqueur glass between bluntly sensitive fingers, North debated whether the Empress 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 pointedly confident that the deserter would eventually turn up in Shanghai, prime haven for the world’s rogues. Dispassionately Hugh North tried to picture this Luther Adams. Thanks to a very meager description, 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 deficiency. Light-weight steel! Um. Its possibilities were limitless — staggering. No wonder the temptation to realize a fortune on it had been too much for Major Adams.
