FRANKLIN The greatest sea stovy of the century was written in the acific ocean 65 miles from Japan on March 19. Truth is ranger than fiction and the odyssey of the, U.S.S. Franklin, rcraft canier, outshines any salty sea tale we ever read. The U.S.S. Franklin was struck by two bombs from a ngle Japanese dive bomber. There followed ten hours of im battling' against. fire, death and disaster. Almost 100 ns of explosives and many thousand gallons of gasoline were t off. The great carrier became a floating hell as explosion ter explosion rocked it. Three hundred and forty-one of mse on board were killed. Another 431 are missing. The bombing, the fires and the resulting blasts were lough to sink-any ship. ' - But the U.S.S. Franklin and its crew are made of stern uff. They escaped and under their own power came back to l American port for repairs. A dispatch says, and we agree, i ere probably will be no greater story written of individual avery in this war than those of the men of the Franklin no defied the bursting bombs, the brazing gasoline and the panese; declined to abandon ship and finally brought the anklin through, battle-scarred and flame-seared on every ch of her upper decks, but with her band playing "The Old ay Mare Ain't What She Used to P.e." ' Alvin S. McCoy, a war correspondent for the Kansas City :ar,. was -aboard and wrote: '.-.' '.-' ' ."This flattop is about as long as three city blocks: as gh as a four-story building . . . One was killed, or he is ill living, depending on where he happened to be. Each peril saw only what whs happening in his own little confined va unless he survived the hail of shrapnel on the hellish ig'ht deck. Persons in one room, talking a direct hit, would s blown to bits; while those in an adjacent one might escape iscathed. No human power could have saved the men under rect bomb explosions or on the fire-swept hangar deck." There were thrilling details of the rescue of more than 00 of the Franklin crew. Heroism 'unlimited and superb sealanship saved the carrier mid about two-thirds of the ship's en. 1 '' ; -' - : ' -. ,' . ; .

SYNOPSIS " Ian Gray, First Secretary to the American Minister to Austria and his friend, Leonard Holt, are sitting with a group of officers on the terrace of the famous Hotel DunaPalota, when the conversation turns to the fascinating Countess Lolita von Waldeqk. Several broken hearts are attributed to Lolita and d'Arrnonot. one of the officers, ' claims a fatal duel was fought on her account. Leonard cannot stand the insinuations and comes to Lolita's defense. Ian wonders at his friend's interest for Leonard is engaged to Ilya Zichonyi, charming daughter of a Hungarian minister. That night, Leonard borrows $1000 from Ian who wonders what his friend wants with such a large sum. Arriving early for dinner at the Austrian Ministry, Ian waits in the conservatory. After a short while, the most beautiful woman he ever saw appears. Unobserved from his nook, Ian sees her cry. From the house a man calls "Lolita", and, drying her tears, the girl goes inside. . Later, Ian sees her surrounded by eager gallants and asks for an introduction. He is stunned to learn she is the notorious Countess von Waldeck. CHAPTER IV To cover his mounting color he bowed so low that the row of miniature medals and decorations glittering on his left lpel of his dress suit clinked softly. ' "It is a great honor," he managed to articulate, "to meet the beautiful Countess von Waldeck." When for the first time their eyes met fair and true, Ian was conscious of strange exhilaration. . .What the devil? Vainly he tried to read beyond those clear and tranquil blue eyes. ' . VMonsieur Is English or an American," she stated softly. "Dieu, I am sure of it; else by now you would have made a dozen gallant speeches which mean nothing and bore one so terribly." "Yes," he stammered, and cursed his sudden uncertainty. Damn it, 'he, Ian Gray, was as embarrassed as any school boy speaking in public for the first time! "I am at the American Ministry." "Oh." Her lips formed a perfect, ruby hued circle, then her face lit. "Ah, I have it you must be I-an, that friend of whom Leonard Holt tells me so much." "Leonard talks too much it's a failing he has. I I hope he hasn't been telling tales out of school." Laughing lightly the girl in the I.auvis ball gown held up a slender blue veined forefinger and tilted her blonde head just a little, to one side, i "Is this a guilty conscience, Monsieur? But I will set your fears at rest. Monsieur Holt has painted you as the bean snbrenr par excellence a sort of modern Bayard." "Lord forgive him for those lies," laughed Ian and drew breath to further pursue the conversation when a new contingent of guests arrived. Among them were the gay Captain d'Arrnonot and, as sharp a contrast an might be found, Major Harris. When they beheld him standing somewhat dazed on the outskirts of the throng hemming in the fragile beauty of Countess von Waldeck, they both treated him to a mocking lift of the eyebrows. ' - " 'Cre win d Dkn you waste no time!" cried Captain d'Arrnonot, vsry dark and picturesque in his artillery dress uniform of black and red, "Remember about the fools who rushed?" '"Deuced stunning girl. Singular pnrity of face and form. Eh what? Doesn't look a bit like the siren I've heard about more like some nice girl who's just put up her hair and let down her skirts.' Refreshingly fresh, eh what?" ''"',, Ian noted that even the usually somber eyes of the big boned Welshman lit when, for a moment, the thron of those pleading for introduction parted to afford a glimpse f that laughing girl whom the other -' - - -.- -wr ij.H'w H'-a'Hv h
pinning to hate from the bottom of ! heir souls. .' , ' ', ' -;. - Oraduaily the babble of voices nrcw louder as fresh contingents of guests arrived to be greeted by His Kxcelloncy, Baron von Satzmar, the decorous, white haired host, the lean' old aristocrat which Ian felt, as he looked morosely on, belonged rather to the vanished glories of the dual empire, thn to. the shabby little republic he now represented. Just one item remained to jar the' big First - Secretary's already shaken equilibrium. Among the very last guests to arrive was Leonard Holt He, after making hurried respects to Baron von Satzmar, but oblivious of everything else, made his way stiaight to the side of Countess von Waldeck who, as Ian noticed with sharp misgivings, received him will) an almost possessive enthusiasm and called him "dear boy" or sS.nething very like it. ' . Well schooled re liuman nature, Un's eye sought a group of liberally bejeweled dowagers who, like superannuated Pekineses, sat staring at the company, throngh their , lorgnettes with hard, Bright eyes. Immediately white tiara crowned heads joined by twos and threes. "Urn," thought Ian bitterly. "And when they get finished poor Ilya will have been pitied to death." He rather wondered what the proud old Baron Zichonyi would do and say if or rathrr when these whispers ever reached his ears. The Baron could not in any sense be described as a man of easy-going disposition, and Ian heaved a long, troubled sigh as a pair of uniformed footmen threw back the doors of the dining room to reveal a resplendent blaze of silver, napery and cut glass. The dinner proved an unhappy one for Ian. As a dinner partner he drew Senorita Martela, an Argentine damsel who possessed enormous eyes and an apparently irrepressible desire to make a conquest of him. In vain Ian attempted to ward off her leads with his usually effective stock of witticisms, cynicisms and epigrams, while feasting his eyes on that almost ethereal personality across the table. To his deep dismay he noted that by evil chance or deep plotting Leonard had secured the place at Lolita von Waldeck's left. There he sat apparently unable to tear his eyes away from that perfectly moulded form in white, though she, with a conscious effort at preserving appearances, constantly diverted her attention to the utterly captivated white-haired Spanish minister on her right. While returning automatic replies to Senorita Martela's not wholly discreet and incessant flow of bandiage, Ian found time to study the distinguished middle aged gentleman who appeared to be Lolita's escort. - There was a peculiar upr ward tilt to that much decorated
1 nobleman's dark and very clear eyes
that suggested a strain of Magyar or Slavic blood in his makeup and prompted conjecture as to Count von Bradensee's antecedents. The Count's round, almost hairless face was set with a glimmering monocle and bore the jolliest of wrinkles about the corners of eyes and mouth ; yet there were certain lines in that pink white face that ought not to have been there. Ian decided that Count von Bradensee was nearing sixty, for the last of his hair that struggled to survive! like a stricken line of infantry on the field of a disastrous battle, was deeply gray. A curious little man he was and not without dignity for all his continual outbursts of laughter. Across his shirt bosom Lolita's escort wore the yellow and red ribbon of the Bavarian Order of Saint Hubert and just below his smartly cut white tie sparkled the cross of a commander in the French Legion d'Honneure. Count von Bradensee was apparently a good natured bon vivant, for he sat there listening politely to the flow of tmeonsequential gossip tumbling from the Belgian minister's breathless and' fat little- wife like cl from a chut. v ..
"fan 'frowned; Good "Lord, but Leonard was making a complete ass of himself tonight! Wasn't like him, either. He'd have to take the boy in hand when they got home. Ilya, poor child, would be completely miserable. . - ,i "Really Monsieur, you are scarcely flattering," he heard the rather sharp voice of Senorita Martela saying in edged banter.1 "You have not taken your eyes from the Countess von Waldeck in five minutes. Do you think she is so very pretty?" "Eh ? Oh no, she's too blonde, too brittle." Stock answer number three to brunettes. What a bore all this diplomatic business was. Had the Argentine charmer been a blonde he knew he would have said, "Oh- no; dark people depress me, and Miss So-and-So, although she is beautiful, is most distressingly dark." He barely lasted the delicious consomme, toyed with his souffle de volatile and felt increasingly annoyed at himself. Why the deuce did he find himself looking once more at Lolita von Waldeck? He swiftly analyzed the impulse. It intrigued him to reconcile her faintly sinister reputation, with that singular gracious and - wholesome looking young girl. Moreover, he wanted to know why the this-and-that Lolita von Waldeck had cried so bitterly to herself in the conservatory 1 Why did she apparently resent her escort and what was he to her ? The fellow looked harmless enough. Deliberately he fore his eyes away from those almost ellinly delicate features and it was then that he noted for the first time, seated at the far end of the table, a bearded officer who wore the elaborate, goldslashed green uniform of the Bulgarian Royal Guards. The expression on the Bulgar's wolfishly lean face was hard as basalt, and there was a glitter in his jet eyes that instantly challenged Ian's attention. On following the line of the Bulgarian's gaze, the uneasy First Secretary realized, with a sense of shock, that this dangerously hostile glance was bent on Leonard Holt who, like the infatuated pup he was, was at that moment whispering some amusing nonsense into the invisible emerald decked ear of Lolita von Waldeck. The irrepressible Argentine was gushing something about polo. What did he think? - "Yes, yes," murmured Ian aloud. "These Argentines put on a deuced good showing on Long Island last year. I'll never forget how Lewis Lacey, etc., played r- knocked the ball half the length of the field" And so on and on. But while he talked his attention was upon that bearded Bulgarian officer, for between that individual's purely automatic smiles, there was to be glimpsed a cruel, tight expression about his narrow lips.' .That Bulgar undoubtedly was pretty mad about something and didn't seem possessed of self-control in any quantity, . . . By the time the coffee and liqueurs were served, Ian found himself wondering what to do. Never in his career in the Foreign Service had he ever been so thoroughly at a loss. Hia own feelings defied analysis. In spite of everything, he could not fight off the overwhelming magnetism of that dazzling . young woman who had furnished th topic of- conversation during the cocktail hour. If indeed she were a professional heart-breaker, she was, without doubt, the most deceivingly innocent-appearing one he had ever beheld. - "Wouldn't mind seeing for myself," he thought and followed the sway of her white shoulders as, with the ladies from the diningroom, she betook herself to the green and gold salon. Ian managed a distressed expression when the Senorita Martela reluctantly abandoned him with a provocative smile and whispered "Mas tarde." - " ! (To Be Continued) CopjiilK. lilt, kr W. V. W.
