*- ' I l Mme. BadourcfT beckoned to her. “Look!" She indicated the peephole in the curtain. “The house is n- arly full." Hrinda glued her eye to the aperture. People were still coming in. Would Dick be there? A coolness had com* between them since his abrupt decision to accept the hospitality of Lord Mountwyn. And there had yet been no official intimation that he had broken his engagement to Lady Gladys. Her glance roved the pit, then the boxes. She gasped. Lord Mountwyn! Seated beside him— Dick! And in the same box, the gaunt, straight figure of Sir John; the massive head and stocky shoulders of Doctor MacDonald I A wave of happiness surged through her. Dick hadn't approved —but he had eome to see her. And Sir John, too. in the midst of his responsibilities and cares, had remembered. But... where was Lady Gladys? And why hsdn't any of them come backstage? Perhaps they would yet—Dies, if not the others. "I think 111 go to my dressing room," she said suddenly to Mme. Badoureff. “By all means," responded tbs ballet mistress huskily. "It will be a half-hour before you eome on, and you will need the rest, I think." As Brinda reached the narrow iron stain leading to the dressing room, a slip of paper was thrust into her hand. “From Prince Vaslav," Mid a , man's voice that somehow rang a familiar, sinister note in her memory. She turned quickly, but the messenger had vanished. In her dressing room, cbe opened the message. It was in Vaslav’s arrogant scrawl; “Adored One: These are the changes in steps 1 mentioned. I beg you to study them —depends upon your ronowuig

t.iem exactly. 1 love you msoiy.— Vasalv.” She crumbled the note angrily. Then she opened it again, smoothed it, and studied directions. “15, 4,8, 8,8, 13, 22, 17 .. ." There were two lines of them. She bit her lip furiously. How did Vaslav expect her to remember so many changes on short notice? Then, in imsgination, she translated them into the jargon of chess, giving each square its proper title, end assigning to herself the role of Queen. “Queen to King’s Bishop 4; Queen to Knight's 2; Queen to Rook's I’’... she jotted down the moves to remember them better—for she knew chess as well as dancing, even though she had never let Vaslav suspect it "Oh!" she exclaimed. A word had suddenly leaped out at her from I the paper — the single word: i "READY." Coincidence? She studied the moves again and saw | there a certain order about them—- ! a definite pattern. If she omitted i the “Queen" in each instates, and, ) putt ng the names of the other squares under each other, eelected t a certain letter of each word, they . made a kind of sense. Was she dreaming, or wad tbs Chessboard i Ballet a means of conveying some i message in code?

More Indiana Doctors Will Enter Service Doctors, Vets And Dentists Await Call Indlsnspolls, March '2l —<VPJ— Hoosier doctor*, dentist* and veterinarian* will recelvr question nalrr* next week which eventually will “strip Indiana of every available doctor" for service In the armed forces, Dr. Charles R.

"In many small towua It may be m < Mgary to take the only practicing physic lan or dentist." Dr. Bird asserted. “In such cases, the public health service has the power to assign a ductor to the community. Older doc tors can aerve in thia assignment." Approximately 4.200 Hoosiers have m-dlcal degree*. Os the*e. 3,000 are practicing but only 2.600 will be eligible for service with the ai med forces.
