THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1928 PAGE SEVEN ' Things had gone a little wrorg with the dinner at the Cafe Russe during Paul's absence Some hign- sty compatriots had dined and de- manded a second portion of soup, which had necessitated the remain- der being watered. The remnants of the veal offered to tha twa late arrivals were skimpy, and the oranges for the compot of frait were certainly sour. Paul waited upon the two girls anxiously, and with a happy after thought brought them a bottle of white wine, "My father desires ta offer you the compliment of this bottle of Hungarian wine," he announced. "It is perhaps not so good as the best French vintages, but it is the nearest which is grown to our own country, and Is a great deal drunk there." "Won't you take ome glass with us, please?" Miss Brown invited, after suitable acknowledgment had heen made and glasses raised to the general who was seated in a distant corner with a crony, Paul hesitated. "May 1?" he asked. "I do not think that any one else will come in tonight. To tell you the truth,' he added simply "we hopa not, he- eause there mothing mare to eat." "That is our fault," Frauces de- clared. 'We were hungry and we have eaten everything. Wa have top good appetites really to be at- tractive customers at any vestaur- ant. You'll have to charge us more money, Mr, Paul or clse give us less "I fear that you came off rather badly tonight,' he regretted. "¢Pon't be absurd!" Miss Brown scoffed. "I was almost afrald that I should have to leave some of that delicious veal." Frances and Paul smoked cigar- ettes. Miss Brown sipped her cof- fee with an air of content. "I like your little restaurant, Mr. Paul," she confided, during a pause in the conversation hefween the other two, 'There is something so homelike about it. Dut your people--your clients -- are very silent. There ig scarcely any laugh- ter and not much conversation. They come and go like ghosts," "They belong, all of them," Paul reminded her, "to the suffering elasses, to the people who are still dazed with their misfortunes. Yet sometimes it is different, I have a cousin, Alexis, who every now and then has money. He sells mot- or cars for an American who treats him very well, When he hag made a sale he sometimes brings every one connected with it in to dinner, He always lets me know before- hand, for they like to drink a great deal of wing, and they like special dishes prepared. Those nights we make quite a profit," he sighed, 'hut they do not come often,' "We will have a. great celebration Jurselves," Miss Brown promised, 'as soon as all these troubles are wer." That will be very pleasant." That night Malakoff received the scond shock of the day, and pro- ably the greatest of his lite, He, with Bretskopf, Krasser, Fronk- ind, Pennington ani nother Communist member of Parliament 1s guests, was seated in his private )itting room at the Hotel Splendide, gaged in the consumption of a very noteworthy banquet and the lormation of a variety of einister plans. Toward the eni of the re- past the head waiter, who had heen serving them, ushered In without snnouncement two visitors, The younger, obviously the subordinate In the business on hand, remained In the background; his companion, plthough without any form of greeting, advanced toward the din- prs who recognized him with amaze- ment. "My name is Marab:ls," he an- nounced coldly, "My companion is Mr, Digbp Holmes, of the Home DMce. I have business with three of you gentlemen--=Serge Malak- Mf, Ivan Bretskopf and Paul Kras- ot." "Business?" Malakoff repeated angrily. "You come at a strange hour and in a strange fashion, Thig Is a private dinner party." "I should have been here weeks before on the same errand if I bad had my own way," Marahels replied. "As it is, however, kindly listen to me," "Qur business hours," Malakoff declared harshly, "are between 311 and 4. If you have anything to say to us, come and say it at Kines- way tomorrow. You may be able io bully your weak-kneed Govern- ment, but we're not afraid of you." "I come armed with powers," Marabels said quietly, "which make such remarks ridiculous. I am the mouthpiece of the Britis Govern- ment. Kindly listen to me aiten- tively." Malakoff had relapsed into his Blass, impressed agains: his will. retskopf glared across the taple. *It has come to the knowledge of the Home Office," Marabels began, "that a steamship from a Baltic port is lying off the coast of ireland with a large cargo of arms and am- munition of which Lopez and Sam- ue] are the nominal econsignees. Evidence is forthcoming 'hat these arms are a gift from the pation which you represent, Mr Malakoff, to be landed and distributed here among the disaffection our popu- lation. This circumstance, in the unsettled conditions prevailing just et present, is mot rezarded with favor by His Majesty's Govern- ment." "We are not here to please His Mzjesty's Government," Malakoff Dlustered. "" rmore," Marabels econ- tinued, "it bas been pointad out to the authorities that you, Malak- off, were present in the house of Lady Hannerton at Camberley one night a short time aso when an English ex-sergeant shot himself rather than be arrested for the dis. semination of seditious literature emanating from sources over waich you have control. You were the guests that evening of Lady Han- nerton, who has heen asked to leave the country on account af her undesirable activiteis in aa Buglish military center. "The Home Secretary, therefore, has decided, under a special ordin- gnce, to dispense with the usual procedure in such cases and has fis- sued deportation orders for you. Serge Malakoff, Ivan Nretskopf and Paul Krasset, and Mr, Digby Holmes here, wha represents the Home Office, will see you off at Liverpool Street Station at 10 o'- clock tonight. "You can Inspect the orders if you wish, You will embark from Hull and travel as far ag Flushing in a gunboat which His Majesty's Government has placed at your dis- posal, After that your movements will not concern us, but it is as well for me to add that in the pres- ent state ol political unrest your re- turn to thiy country is not desired and will be rendered impossible." Malakoff rose to his feet, a thin, swaying figure of defiance, "This Is my answer to you and your Government," he declared, "I am here not on a mission to them, but on a mission to the people. I decline to leave the country, I speak for myself and my friends-----w3 are here and we stay here. Tomorrow I shall make public this visit of yours, and you shall see then what will happen," "The law does not permit such an outrage," Frankland declared. "I shall hring the matter up in the House tomorrow." "You will have every apportun- ity," Marabels assured him, 'so long as you do not abuse your pos- ition, As for you, gentlemen, I beg you, however, to accent the inevit- able. You have half an hour In which to make any necessary pre- parations."" Malakoff sat down and poured himself out a glass of wine. He turned his shoulder upnn Marahols, "We have had endjugh of this foolishness," he said, 'This Is 8 private party, and you intrude." Marahels motioned to his 2omp- anion who moved toward the door, Then Malakoff"s heart sank, One -- two---three--and a further pha- lanx behind, There they stood, re- presentatives of the Irrefutahle law, something grim and inevitable in their size, their precise uniform their immobility. "1 trust," Mr. Dighy Holmes sald | suavely, *'that T shall not have to make use of escort with which | | have been provided. It is my duty to gee you upon the 10 o'elnck train Mr | Malakoff, with your two friends, | and it is the duty of the escort of police, by which I am accompanied, to take any steps which may he necessary to aid me in the exeecu- | tion of my duty." Malakoff flung on to the table the remainder of the glass nf wine which he had heen drinking. "It §s an outrage!" he shouted.' "You will answer for this." ! "The people will hang you all upon the lamp-posts hefore the! month is out," Bretskopt snarled. | Marabels shrugged his shoulders ever so slightly. { "Try to persuade your friends,!| Mr. Pennington," he begged, as he; | turned away, "for the sake of their, | own dignity, to accept tiie situation. You know, for yourself, that the | law in this country, slow thouzh it, may he to move, can mever for a moment be flouted. FKEvery oppor-| | tunity will be given to you to ex- | press any grievamce yon may feel on their behalf in tie House of Commons tomorrow. all make it my personal duty tc otiend and! reply to you." ! Pennington turned refuctantly to- ward the delegates. "You'll have to go," he declared. Marabels departed, closing the door noiselessly behind him. Mal- akoff, Bretskopf and Krasset, each standing, watched his disapnear- ance, silent, with murderous faces.' Frankland, too, had risen and was walking restlessly up ang down the room. Pennington, with his bands thrust deep in his trousers pock- ets, his chin lowered, sat staring on to the disordered tablecloth. Mr. Digby Holmes, his eyes fixed upon the clock waited patiently. In the background his escort st9od at attencion, | In three weeks there wers seven-, teen commissions sitting, four of, whom had already decision accepted, and their recommendations being carried into effect. Every day Miss Brown on her arrival in Whitehall! found her pile of work diminishing. There came a time when Des-| siter, who had been travelling up| and down the country upon a spec-, ial mission, came in from an fnter-| view with Marabels, threw himself into an easy chair and sat there for some time in d2ey» thought. Miss Brown knew better than to disturb him, but her hear: sank a little at the idea of what wight phe! coming. | "Miss Brown," he said at last, "XYO is on its last legs." | "I was afraid it might be so," she replied sadly. "Don't forget," Dessiter enjoin- ed "that ours has been a wonder- ful page in departmental history. We pass away in triumph and not to oblivion. No one will ever know! the details of our work but we helped, Miss Brown--we helped 2 great deal." { "Mr. Marabel himself has acd + day. Everything is simplicity itself with the knowledged that," she reminded him. "That last visit of yours ta Moscow and Archangel, the meeting with--" "All to be forgotten," he inter rupted, "Let those things pass oul of your mind as they are doing from mine. Our work, however, has been appreciated. AMarahels would see to that, of course. They have just offered me a baronetcy, which I have refused, and a money grant which I do not need, I am glad to be able to tell you, Miss Brown, though," he went on, "that they are allotting the sum of £5000 for distribution among my personal staff in lien of any pension. My staff consists ol you." "Five thousand pounds!" Brown gasped, "It will bring you in about 250 a year," he continued. "Not an im- mense sum, but enough to make you independent." "It is very wonderful," she wur- mured a litle wistfully, "put I'd rather go on working." Dessiter smiled. "There comes a time," he said, "when one reaches the natural end of one's task. It is the opinion of the Home Office, and my own, too, that in these days of a vasily better understanding hetween the men whom we used to consider fire- brands and the Government, the abolition of such a bran~h as XYO is not only advisable, bu! almost imperative. We don't want to say upon men with whom we are work- ing in friendship, XYO is doomed, Miss Brown," "And won't there be any other work?" she ventured. He shook his head. "Not of thig sort. Why? Do you want another post?" Miss "If you are going to undertake any position at all," she replied, "I should like to continue to be your secretary." He rose to his feet, walked to the window and stood looking out for a moment. There wag a gleam of pale sunlight upon the river, frag- ments of blue sky overhead. "They have offered me a choice of two posts," he confidea abrupt- ly, *I don't know. I am 41 years old and I am a little tired" "You ought to have a rast,' she agreed. "Think what you have heen through during the last seven months alone." . He nodded but sald nothing. Paer- haps his thoughts were traveling hackward, There were many thril- ling moments of which he had nev- er spoken. Yes, there ware plenty of memories, Perhaps Miss Brown was right, Perhaps he ne2ded a rest, "Come tomorrow: morning as usual, he enjoined presently. *I may have made up my mind hy then, # » (To be Continued Tomoreow) SOLINA | Solina, Aug. 31.--Mr. Lewis Guy | and Miss Dorothy Hayes, of Colum- bus, with Miss Ellen James at A.

DYNAMITE CAP FOUND IN COAL BY WORKMAN Kitchener, Sept. 5--A dynamite cap measuring about one and one- hali inches in length and one- quarter of an inch in diameter was | found in a car of coal by men un- loading the fuel at Breithaupt's tan- nery Friday. Alone in a box, the cap is thought to have been left among the coal when the fuel the mine. It would have been casy, accord- ing to an employee at the tannery, to have shovelled the explosive into the furnace without noticing it. In this event the explosion which would invariably have followed in the close confines of the furnace might have been sufficient to create consider- ably havoc. The possibility that the explosive had been placed in the coal deliber- ately is not believed. The box in which it was contained measured three inches by two inches and might easily have become lost in a shovel of the fuel and added to the flames. The cap is one of the usual speci- mens. "It has a good load," one man said on examming it. Asked whether the dynamite would have been sufficient to have caused a serious explosion in the event of its coming in contact with fire, he stated "I'd hate to try it."
