"I require an agreement," Na- than stated fimly, "a treaty, sign- ed and guaranteed by your Gov- ernments, giving back to our peo- ple absolute" freedom. In this agreement they would regain their citizenship, they would lose their chains. They would have the right to deal with equality, to live with respect--to walk the world with dignity."

Nathan smiled. but it cost him an effort. "I've kept my word to the Allies," he said. "But another day like yesterday on 'Change, and the House of Rothschild will close Its doors.""* 1;

Nathan smiled. Wordlessly he helped Hannah into the waiting carriage.

Julie lifted her face to her lover's... "Give me the ring- quick!" she whispered.

Fitzroy slipped the ring on her fbger. Embraced Her tenderly, adoringly. Bent to kiss her lips yearning toward his.

Nathan leaned from the window of the carriage. "I hope the en tire war is not going to be conduct- ed on such a romantic basis," he sald drily.

If, at the end of that time, you're still alive-and you seem to be the type of young, man that can't be killed-you may come and talk with me in London."

A flush of happinessmantled the young man's face. "Thank you, sir" "he said, helping Julie into the carriage.""I shall count the days."

On the battle-field, shaken by the din of combating armies, two hands attached a small tube to the leg of a carrier pigeon. Into the smoke-laden air it rose, soar- ed away.

Nathan unrolled the tiny slip of paper. His eyes blazed as he "read:

ting their love.

When they reach Grand Canary; the largest island in the group, Baxter's scientific skill is summon-
