New York, March l9--J. f. Bur.
didge, clerk in Sidney Smiths drug
store at No. 5l9 Halsey srteet. Brook
lyn, was alone in the place yesterday
afternoon when the telephone bell
rang. He answered it,and IA familiar
voice said:
''This is Helen Daenzer. 1 am at
Wolfe's drug store. l am going to
commit suicide will you please come
right around and identify my body p
Before Burdidge could gasp out a
reply. almost before the sound of the
voice had ceased. the report of pis-
tol shot came over the wire to his
ears.
Leaving the store unguarded he ran
to the drug store of Edwin j. Wolfe,
five blocks away.
AS he rushed in, pale and beath-
less. a man was bending over the
body of Helen Daenzer, stretched out
on the floor near the telephone booth.
She had shot herself in the head and
was dead.
A crimson stream trickling from
the booth told where the deed was
done. On the little shelf where the
instrument rests were found two notes
which the woman had hurriedly scrib-
bled in pencil. One was to the pro-
prietoT of the store and said:
"Some one will come to identify
me. Please excuse mo for making
all this trouble" "
The contents OF the other were:

A0Orea Island, the Happiest and
Fairest Spot ON Earth.
Hugo Parton, writing in the Outing
most beautiful spot on earth today is
the island of Moorea, one of the Society
islands, in the south seas. AS a con-
trast to strenuous American methods
this description sounds alluring:
whenever you are thirsty word
will send a 1.-THE brown body scraln-
bling up tall palm tree trunk, and in
two minutes green cOcoanut IS ready
for you to quaff-the nectar Of the
Polynesian gods. 1t is worth the trip
down here to eat the native 'vittals,'
for you get at every meal things you
never tasted before, and each Sc ,n.s bet
ter than it's predecessor; to see your
dinner Of fresh water shrimps sharks
fins and roasted sea urchins. The ba-
nanas you eat-there are eleven varie-
ties baked, raw, fried, dried--,row a
few rods back in the valley; ditto the
breadfruit, the pineapples and about
everything else on the board. It's nice
to have your morning coffee grown in
the back yard. Guavas grow in such
profusion they are used as pig food,
grated cocoanut is fed to hens, while
sensitive plant is considered excellent
fodder for cattle.
For perfection of the human body
the Tahitian is unexcelled, if, indeed,
he is anywhere equaled. They are
large race, both men and women being
noticeably taller and more fully devel-
oped than Anglo Saxons doubt if
any Society islander ever went through
whole day in his life without having
wreath Of flowers ON his head or
blossom behind his ear The love of
flowers Is innate with man, woman and
child. They can't pass through a patch
of woods without emerging with gar
land. Every gay mood calls for flow
ers on their hats, in their hair, behind
their ears, and their life is an almost
unbroken sequence Of gay moods.
Scarcely a native on the island of
Moorea can speak a sentence of Eng
lish, but every one you meet greets you
with courteous smile and the well
coming word 'Ia-ora-na' (Yorana)."
