They sighted the Diego Ramirez Rocks one morning an hour after breakfast; and Mary put on her coat and went up the companion and found Richard exuberant as a tri-umphant boy In the knowledge that his calculations had been ac-curate. The men forward were shouting instead of talking, their voices high-pitche- d with triumph, knowing that presently they would turn at last northeasterly for the long run home. "Now, I'll snatch a wink, Mr. Forbes," Richard told Mat. "Call me when we come abeam of the Rocks." So he and Peter went below with George and Mary; and Richard stripped off his great sea coat. Mary said: "You're dead for sleep, Richard. Go lie down." He nodded. "I could sleep three days in a row," he agreed. He went into his cabin and closed the door behind him. Mary made George lie down in his bunk for warmth's sake, and covered him over. She returned to her own cabin, and drifted off to sleep. Later she roused a little; heard Peter say in the common room outside her door: "I tell you you're wrong. But anyway, watch yourself. Dick will But Mary knew.

Cer-tainly he had lost control of him-self. She moved toward him, said pleadingly: "George, you're sick. Let me put you to bed. Please!" "I'm sick to death," he told her. "Sick of you! Don't touch me. I've shut my eyes to your wantonness long enough." His word stopped her like a blow. Richard protested gravely: "George, you're talking in circles. If you've got anything to say, say it. What's on your mind?" "I'm talking about you and Mary making love to each other all the time," George told him; and his own rage choked him, and he coughed, bending double, clutching at his chest, his face dark with lack of breath before he could speak again.

Why wouldn't you make love to her, when she begs for it? Captain Corr, leave her alone. No matter what she says. Because if you ever touch Mary again, or speak to her, I'll kill you." Richard said miserably: "Man, you're sick!" "Maybe I am. But I'm not too sick to pull a trigger. I've killed as big a man as you, with a pick-axe, and he had a gun! Don't you touch Mary again, or speak to her. "Speak to her?" Richard echoed. "Why, sure I will; and I'll touch her too if it comes that way. Have some sense! Why wouldn't I?" George cried explosively: "Be-cause you're in love with her, and she with you!" But on his own words, a paroxysm of coughing swept him, bent him, silenced him. He dropped the revolver on the desk, clutching at his chest with both hands. It was long before he could speak again. Through that long moment Rich-ard looked at Mary, and Mary looked at Richard. Before the mo-ment ended, each knew. It was true! While their eyes met in that long exchange like a revela-tion, like vows exchanging, these two forgot George, racked and help-less by the desk. His words un-locked at last a long-close- d door. What he said was true, and while their eyes held now, they both knew it! They knew that they had loved each other always, and would love each other always. They had not guessed the truth before; but they knew it now forever, beyond doubt, beyond change, beyond forgetting. Each thought wonderingly: I was blind not to know then that this was true. But now they knew. Now they knew; and the knowledge was a gulf deep and terrible and hopeless. Their eyes held hard, till George recovered; and they did not know he had recovered till he crossed to thrust at Mary with a movement like a blow, to break the bridge of their exchanging glasses, and to cry. pitifully furious: "Don't! Stop! You shan't even look at him so!" She spoke in a panic of haste, des-perately denying, as much to per-suade herself as her husband. Mary whispered: "George, George it isn't true!" She looked at Rich-ard again. She knew it was true, knew he knew. "It isn't, please! she cried like a prayer George faced her, challenged: So it's not true?" Of course not!" hand, brushed it He lifted one past her like a scornful blow. You're a liar!" Mary begged: "George, please! He swung to her, staring at her narrowly.

She sat up in swift alarm. As her feet touched the floor, she heard Peter go on deck again; and then George opened her door. He grasped her arm, his fingers crushing it so that she uttered a low cry of pain. She looked up into his face and saw it twisted and con-vulsed by some terrific passion; and she whispered in a quick terror: "George! What's the matter?" He said harshly, "Come out here! I want to talk to you and Captain Corr." Holding her, he wrenched open the door of Richard's cabin; and Richard asleep in the bunk opened his eyes, his head rising from the pillow, and then his whole body rose as he came to his feet in a sharp alarm, steadying himself with his good hand. "What's wrong?" he asked. He brushed past them into the common room, leaped toward the compan-ion, thinking only of the ship, think-ing her in danger. When Richard, emerging from the cabin, brushed him aside, George had lurched toward the desk; and before Richard reached the foot of the companionway, George dragged open the top drawer of the desk and lifted out of it the heavy old revolver always kept there. At his cry, his command, Richard turned and saw the weapon leveled at him firmly. For a moment he did not move, staring in a bewildered astonish-ment; but then, his concern still for his ship, he said curtly: "I'll be back!" And he went up the companionway. Mary began to understand wna was coming: to foresee the content of the next half hour. She heard, as though far away, voices over their heads; but she did not look up. She stared at George as though he were a stranger seen for the first time; and she waited for Richard to return as for a rescuer.

DARAMOUNT'S "The Lady I Eve" is certainly one of the best pictures that has come out of Hollywood in years and years; it's the third excellent picture in a row for Preston Sturges, who wrote and directed it. Henry Fonda acquires new laurels as a co-median, Barbara Stanwyck is completely delightful, the rest of the cast (which Includes Charles Coburn, Eric Blore and Wil-liam Demarest) couldn't be im-proved on. The company launched the picture in New York with something differ-ent in the way of a cocktail party, A night club was turned more or less into a Garden of Eden, and five pretty girls were engaged to act as Eves. Since there's a snake that plays a prominent part in the pic-ture, one was provided. Dr. Ray-mond L. Ditmars, curator of rep-tiles at the Bronx zoo, was present; he felt that the party would do much to dissipate the popular phobia against snakes. A consultant psy-chologist theorized on perfect wom-en in general and the five Eves in particular. Then Emma, the snake, departed for the xoo, and the wom-en guests breathed easier. Whether you're an "Andy Hardy" fan or not you mustn't miss "Andy Hardy's Private Secretary," if you want to see the debut of one of film-dom- 's best bets. She's Kathryn Kathryn Grayson Mickey Eooney In "Andy llardy'i Private Secretary." Grayson, who's not quite eighteen, and is being hailed as a real dis-covery. Eighteen months ago, when she sang at a Los Angeles musical, she attracted the attention of Metro ex-ecutives. Before the afternoon was over she had an appointment with Louis B. Mayer the next day she had a contract. After that she checked in at the studio school-to- ok a regular high school course, had lessons in music, diction, make-up, dramatic training. She has a magnificent coloratura voice, can sing C above high C, and it is predicted that she may become one of the greatest coloraturas the world has ever known. She's de-lighted over being in pictures but in another two years she's going to tackle the Metropolitan opera. Hortense Monath, who recently appeared as soloist with the NBC Symphony orchestra, has made a name for herself as a concert pianist in both Europe and America, play-ing with many of the most famous orchestras. She really has a second career; she browses in the musical litera-ture of the ages and brings forth each year a series of programs for the New Friends of Mnsi, one of New York's more Important musi-cal organizations. She thinks there's too much sameness about most mu--sic- al programs she also dis-approves of Intermissions, encores, stage seats and prima donna-do-m There's no telling how many of our future radio stars will succeed because Fritz Blocki, producer of "Your Dream Has Come True," gave them a start. Auditioning for the program is no ordinary affair. The entire week preceding a broad-cast is spent in listening to the many people who want to appear on the program; when it's difficult to make a choice between actors, a record-ing of the voice in question is made and the radio department makes a decision. As biff name actors and actresses have no meaning on this program, the unknowns have a wsnderful op-portunityand nnder BlockJ'a skill-ful tutelage they are sure of getting excellent training.
