"Dh Ra Ca « VX THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1928 . young Russian, who describes him- Miss Edith Brown. pretty sten- _bgrapher, is lifted from her dull life of routine into a land of adven- ture and romance by a ehance bit of dictation which she takes down from the lips of a man who says he {s dying--Colonel Dessiiter, renow- ned explorer. The next morning, when she starts to the bank to place her notes and other docu- ments with which she had been in- trusted in a safe-deposit box a3 In- structed, she is attacked by ruff- fans and saves her bag only because she had strapped it to her wrist, and by the timely intervention 6 of a stranger. She safely deposits her papers and then successfully rebuffs an impostor reporter wha comes to worm out information. She finds her acquaintance eagerly sought after by people of all sorts. One, a prominent Communist, Noel Frankland, she likes least, although her chum, Frances Austin. does not snub his - uncouth advances. How- ever, Frances finds a rea) admirer and Edith a partial confident n a se merely as "Paul' and invites the girls to the resturant where he ..and his parents eke out a bare liv- ing to which he adds a pittance earned as a professional dancer. Then comes a mysterious invita- tion for Frances to a party from the Princess Strepaff with espeec- fal instructions to "bring Miss Brown along." Arrived there, the reason for her invitation is soon ap- parent. She meets Mr. Pennington, M. P., who takes pains to argue Miss Brown into disclosing her sec- ret for the best Interests of the country. But she realizes that it's _peally the Communist Party for which he's pleading and remains obdurate. Finally she recognizes a personal ad in the Times as her summons again to meet Desuiter's agent in one of the government buildings where a certain John Glyde, cousin and executor of Des. . sitor, produces her notes, which she had instructed the bank to de- liver to mo one but hersolf, and bids her transcribe them. 'When, to her amazement, she finds the notebook pages blank, both realize that her documents have heen tampered with. Then it dawns on Miss Brown that John Glyde Is none other than Dessiter himself. His death had been announced to throw his enemies oft the track, and immediately he enlists her help to thwart any scheme to get her notes into the opponents' hands. Now Read Today's Installment of This Intriguing Oppenheim Story JL At precisely the hour when Miss Drown descended from ths upper flights of the great huilding in Whitehall and entered tha automo- ®ile which was to convey her safe- to Shepherd's Market, Malakoff, for the second time in the day, gaz- ed upon caviare. He was one of six men dining together in a priv: ate room above a cafe in Shares- bury avenue--six men who together comprised what was known as the 'Action Committee of the Advanced Communist Party, revolutionaries all of them, in control of almost unlimited funds, and with an agenda which was never put onto paper. Ther were all men with a secret ambition to become Robespierres of the revolution to which they were pledged, sworn ensmlies of all manne; of compromise, out to rav- age the world with brimstone and fire, if necessary. One was Malakoff himself, the his stomach in times lika these?" Malakoff pushed away his empty plate and sipped his wine critically. "No man fights the worse or thinks the worse for being well fed," he declared. "You, my friend Thornton, are a hard worker, you are very much in earnest, but yon are too gloomy.' Thornton looked up with a dan- gerous glitter in his eyes. He had eaten and drunk sparingly and he had taken no part in the conversa- tion. "I am doing my job," he said, a little somberly. "Last aight, while you all slept in your beds, I was round Camberley, Farnham and Woking way. T pinned a thousand of our latest messages on the trunks of trees all round the camps --4d thousand, mind you, and I'm doing something of the sort every day--I--Thornton--ex-sargeant in the Guards, V. C.! Do vou know what would happen to me if were found? Bow street first. Then the military would ask for me-- court-martial, all over in ten wmin- utes, muffled drums and a volley. I've seen it happen to others nretty often during the war. You fellows aren't taking on much of that sort of thing." "I'm not so sure," Malakoff ob- served, pouring himself out some wine. "If Dessiter had !ived anoth- er twenty-four hours, 2: If his stuff had ever reached Downing street, I fancy it would have been Bow street for some of us." "Colonel Dessiter was the most dangerous man to our cause who ever worked for the government," Pritchard declared. '"Somzhow or other he got underneath. Lucky for Phillj 8 ), Orpripe prought the book. If he has, that's the end of our anxieties." A frightened-looking young man with flaxen hair and pince-nez was ushered into the room. Pritchard greeted him brusquely. "What's the trouble?" he asked. "Sit down and tell us about it." The young man appeared out of breath. He accepted the chalr, how- ever, and glanced a little doubtfully around. "You can speak out," Pritchard assured him, "What's the trouble? Have you brought the packet?" "I haven't had a chance," the newcomer explained nervously. "I doubt whether I ever shall have, There's something wrong down at the bank. I'm not sure that they haven't tumbled to it." "What do you mean?" Pritchard asked sharply. The young man wiped the pers- piration from his forehead. A nonth ago he had been exactly according to pattern--a respectable, plodding young man, well established in suburban social circles, a shining light of the tennis club, an empryo golfer, one of the M. C.'s of the fortnightly subscription dances held at the Balham Institute. There was a girl, the chance of a rise mext month, the managemen' of a small branch always among the possibili- ties. All gone. A moment's subtle temptation, and now everything drifting away, the ground crumbling beneath his feet, all that smug but happy future fading into the clouds. "I'd got the real packet in the rext compartment to the dummy one,' he recounted. "I didn't have a chance to get away with it be- fore closing time. During the last one," he Continental agent; another was Bretskopf, the firebrand nf Barce- " lona, a man erazy with the lust lor destruction, whose brain was al- ways in a state of fury, to whom jogic and common sense were pap for the babes, whose speechmak- Ing had become In thesa days no- thing but tirades of blondshed, then there was Pennington, for all his suave manners many times more dangerous, eloquent, a link between his party and the Socialists; Noel Frankland, an ex-officla member ct this committee, whose very exis- tence he would often deny in the House of Commons; Thornton, an ex-goldier, who had fought valiant- ly in the war, come out af 1t with a grievance, ard who was now the pioneer of treason in the same 'ranks, where he had once been a hero, and Pritchard, secretary of the Seamen's Union, a thin, cadav- erous-looking man, with a mass of fair hair and an inexhaustiple gift of words. Malakoff attacked his with appetite. + "Twice in one day!'" he murmur- ced. "We live--indeed we live! 1 :Junched with the lady who deigns 'to bestow upon me just now a pass- ing preference, and for Yngland, her food was wonderful. However, fi eat too much.

"There was never a revolution without women," Fraaklanq mur- mured. ""There's too much eating drinking and talk, to my mind," Thornton pronounced sullenly. caviare with aeress and us that Kroogner stuck to him, though he paid for it with his life, poor chap." Malakoff nodded gloomily, "I ought to know all about Dessi- ter," he remarked. "Every onc of our continental branches was in a panic, He virtually ruined our great coup in Bucharest, and Rome nearly closed down." '"Dessiter was the worst enemy our cauge has ever known," DIen- nington declared, leaning back in his chair. "Personally, although we have done everything that is poss- ible through this branch, I can't feel that we shall be out of the wood until we have thal notebook in our possession." The service of dinner had drawn to an end and the waiters had left the room. Coffee and liquaurs were upon the table and everyone was smoking. Conversation became more intimate. Pritchard had squared his chair round to the table. He was the cha'rman of the branch and there were matters later on for official discussion, "They've got nervous already In Downing street," he observed, ts he began to arrange his papers, "I told the Prime Minister myself yee- terday that if he really thought of appointing a commission to discuss the mining question, we might come together, but nationalization must be one of the subjects to. be discussed. There was a knock at the door. Pritchard looked up witn a frown. "Who's that?" he demandad. A waiter brought in a note. "A young gentleman is waiting downstairs, sir," he announced. "Said it was most important. They- 've sent him on here from W estmin. ster." Pritchard tore open the waveiops and read the note. His frown deep- ened. "Send him up," he directed. "Who is it?" Malakoff inquired. "It's the bank clerk from South Audley street," Pritchard explain- ed. "He's been to see Caldwell-- been waiting there for hours--and Caldwell has sent him on here.

Hubbard visited the vaults himself, Just before closing time I had to go down to sort out some deeds, Mr, Grewcock: went with me. which was in the compartment lab- eled 'Miss Brown' had gone,' " "And what about the real one?" Pritchard demanded, his voice shuk- ing with anxiety. "That was there all right," the clerk replied. "I could see it through the wire doors. I put it in an.empty compartment under 'C' instead of 'B.' "Why couldn't you bring Pritchard exclaimed. "How could I?" the young man asked, almost piteously. "Grewcock never let me out of his sight.

You can he oft when you like, and there's no charge agajnst you, either. You haven't stolen anything--you've just broken trust. You'd better clear out if you can't get the packet. If we'd hada man on the job----!" The young clerk rose to his feet. "I never promised to do mor than I have done," he declared, with a trace of spirit. "I didn't mean to do as much. I came here to tell you how things ware of my own accord. I wasn't obliged to." "That's right," Pritchard agreed in a milder tone. "Have a drink and a cigar." The young man drank a whisky and soda greedily. "Then we may take It as an ab- solute certainty," Malakoff inter- vened, with a meaning glance at Bretskopf, "'that the original packet fs in the safe in South Audley street and will be there until open- ing time tomorrow morning?" "An absolute certainty." the oth-| er assented. "No one went down tof the vaults again after Grewcock and I came out, and when I left the bank the keys had gone and the watchman was on duty." | Pritchard nodded. "Well, we know where we are, at any rate, then," he sald. "We won't detain you any longer. If you'd like a letter to some friends on the Continent--that is, if you want a job of any sort--" "No!" the young man interrupt- "No more of this sort of busi- 1" ed. ness for me! Ho hastened off. Pritchard sat with his under lip thrust out, think- ing deeply. Difficulties made a stronger man of him, ¥rom across the table Bretskopf, with folded arms, watched him steadily, a triumphant gleam of anticipation already shining in his eyes. To Be Continued Tomorrow MRS. LEVINE SAYS CHARLEY ALL RIGHT Makes Study of Erratic Hus- band and Understands Him . New York, Aug. 15.~How would you, gentle feminine reader like to be the wife of Charles A. Levine, the famous trans-Atlantic aviator? Well, there's no use going into that. You simply aren't, that's all. For Charley, the demon of the air and something of a genius to boot, has a wife and she is, New York admits, one wife in 1,000. Mrs. Charles A. Levine. under- stands her erratic hubby like Gene Tunney savvies Shakespeare, and for the same reason. She's made a study of him--she knows him and she trusts him right up to the hilt. The pretty, dark haired Mrs. Le- vine's real problems commenced more than a year ago when Char- ley, who until that time had taken no part in international affairs, suddenly kissed her and climbed into the monoplane Columbia be- side Clarence Chamberlin, He and Chamberlin landed in Germany and fame, and Mrs. Levine found herself confronted with one of the most difficult of all housewifely problems. Her husband had al- ways been headstrong. Now, he was both bull-headed and famous. The Levines are blessed with plenty of neighbors and friends, and this fact has not made it any easier for Mrs. Levine. Few if any of the items concerning Levine that have been carried in the public prints from time to time have es- caped the attention of the Levine neighbors and friends. Famous Flight Some of them recounted Levine's famous flight from Paris to Lon- don, in which it was conceded by experts, until he made a spectacu- larly successful landing, that he would probably break his neck. One of many others detailed the smash-up in which the hedd of the Levine family participated with Bert Acosta. More recently, the accounts of Levine's holiday in Europe with Acosta and Miss Mabel Boll, blonde and winsome "Queen of Diamonds," have been added to the burden of neighbors and friends. Not a casual acquaintance of Mrs. Levine missed seeing the most recent news picture of her hus- band, which depicted him disport- ing himself in a cut-away bathing suit with Miss Boll, who wore a cloak trimmed in white fur and a smile that would make Peggy Hop- ing without further delay. "I'm not a neglected wife, dear, it's absurd," Mrs, said. She had just returned to the Le- vine summer house at Belle Har- bor, L.I., after a week in Connecti- cut with the Levine youngsters, whom she keeps in excellent health and spirits. Mrs. Levine returned to discover a batch of "sympathy" that she had to laugh away. A local tab- loid had featured a story that she had been shocked to find a sign in front of her home annonncing that it would be sold at auction, August 25.

O. had illustrated the story with the bathing suit picture. Mrs. Levine was in a state of mind aptly described as "both in- dignant and amused." "Mr. Levine has no secrets from me," she said. "Why I was right behind Mr. Levine when he signed the contract for this deal. I knew although the tabloid editor didn't, that we had planned to sell our Belle Harbor house before Mr. Le- vine sailed for Europe. We are tired of it, that's all." But that is the sort of thing Mrs. Levine has to go through as the wife of a famous man. "And as for the story that he hasn't written to me since he sail- ed, why it's ridiculous, my dear. Why I get a long cable from hime every other day." Mrs. Levine's lot is not easy, but she bears it gracefully. "I've been the victim of much gossip for a year," she said. "They don't let me alone. I am not jeal- ous of Miss Boll. Mr, Levine hax my undivided confidence in every- thing he does, and I have no in- tention of suing for separation. We are happily married." Mrs. Levine didn't say so, but it seemed evident that she would be still more happily married If ehe received less of volunteer sym- pathy which she has no earthly use for.

ATTEMPT T0 ROB HARRIS, SASK, BANK Vault Contained $15,000, But Could Not Be Harris, Sask., Aug. 15.--Bank robbers attempted to rob the Royal Bank here Sunday night, but secuY- ed nothing, as they were unable to open the vault door. The yeggs secured entrance to the bank premises by breaking the glass in the door of the staff room at the back of the bank. Once in- side the room they hacked away at the lath and plaster partition they entered the main office. Inspection by police officers showed the men had drilled a hole in the vault door combination and set off a charge of nitro glycerine. The hole was not deep enough, and the explosive only had the ef- fect of detaching the outer rim of the combination lock and imbed- ding it in the ceiling of the office. It is believed the robbers fled following the explosion as they left behind three old blankets and some comforters which they had taken to muffle the sound of the detonation. The telephone wires from the bank had been severed. There was about $15,000 in cash in the vault. ------------------ BRAZILIAN DIAMOND AREA IN TURMOIL Prospectors Riot After Be- ing Paid Counterfieit Money Rio Janeiro, Brazil, Aug. 15.-- The diamond regions in the states of Grosso and Goyaz have been thrown into an uproar by rioting prospectors. Several towns have been looted and a number of mur- ders committed by the enraged na- tives who claim that they were paid by grubstakers in counterfeit money. The natives found they could buy nothing with money which they re- ceived for weeks of toil in the heat of the wilderness. The prospectors turned bandit and started an intensive search for the persons, who, they claim, cheated them with the fake money. When the police tried to prevent them from entering several towns they burned houses. Several skir- micshes have been fought by police and small detachments of soldiers with the bandits, who number sev- eral hundred.
