Il don't know what to do with my
self evenings" sighed Ronald Cray,
leaning out of the back window of
his bachelor apartment and survey
ing the gloomy flats around him.
Two months before he had been sum-
moned home from New Mexico, where
his power dam had made him famous,
to take charge of the engineering de-
partment of his company at head
quarters. His salary was ample, he
had wealth, he was only twenty-five;
yet he had managed to make nc &C.
quaintances in the big city.
A free life in the West had made
him different from the average city
bred young man; he thought the me-
tropolis stiff and its people devoid of
interest
Suddenly as he leaned out, survey
ing the huge buildings and specializing
how many thousand lives ran on in
them, light sprang into being in the
building opposite, on the fifth floor,
on level with his. Behind a drawn
shade he saw the silhouette of man.
He was STOPPING over a table and,
as Cray watched. he saw the shadow
Of woman behind him. Suddenly her
hand plunged downward. The elon-
gated object in it looked like a
poniard. 1t struck the man in the side
of the neck and he rolled over.
The woman stood looking at him for
a moment; then, with a gesture of
triumph, she flung the poniard out of
the window, raising the shade little.
Cray heard metallic tinlzle in the
court below Then followed darkness.
He leaned cut, astounded at what
he had seen and hardly believing it
real. How long he waited he did not
know. Suddenly his bell rang.
He went out into the passage and
saw, standing outside the door, one of
the most beautiful women whom he
had ever met. She was twenty-three or
four. Her eyes cleaned with feverish
intensity, her hair was disheveled
and her hands were red
Save me. Hide me, Help me-" she
pleaded.
Cray did not hesitate an instant. He
pulled her through the doorway and
led her to the bathroom. He filled the

belong to five different periods Of
building and rebuilding, and the
earliest of these (temp. Gallienus)
were doubtless not the first. Theo
doric's work comes next; considerable
fragments of it's courses of stone and
herringbone brick can be discovered
by anyone who hunts for them. A
later style is shown in the work as
cribed to Charlemagne; and after that
come medieval and renaissance fortifi-
cations, each marking a period of pros
perity in the city's fortunes. 1t is not,
however, Roman Verona that people
love and travel to see, but the Verona
of the middle ages, the Verona of
Romeo and Juliet, of the Scaligers
and the great artists-Pisanello and
the rest-a city of the south in which
the northern breezes also blow, and
where between east and west, LON
hardy and Venice, divergent ideals
meet and sometimes mingle.
Lombards Were Active There.
Theodore and his Ostrogoths be-
longed by desire and in fact 10 the last
age of Rome, but their successors the
Lombards clearly ushcred in the mid

barbarians, but in time Italy civilized
them, and during that process LON
bard architecture was born. Anywhere
from Cividale in the east to Pavia in
the west, traces of their early activi-
ties may still be found-barbarous at
first, presently growing nobler, till by
the seventh century they were capable
of raising churches which are still de-
lightful to men of modern refinement
At Verona the Lombards were particu-
larry active and, were 1t worth while,

to a gentleman who was magnificent
in his ideas, his ways of living, and, to

with figured pilasters, allegorical stat

the top of all.
The rushing Adige, twirling in S
form through the city, is feature con-
stantly in evidence. In the older parts
that remain, the house fronts rise
plumb from the waters; modern i'm
provements employ the banks for
streets. The Adige is not river you
can casually punt across. Il is in a
violent hurry and insists upon being
bridged. The Romans built a sturdy
stone bridge, now called the Ponte
della Petra, and two of it's ancient
arches remain, as well as the base of
some other piers. OF course radical
restoration and much rebuilding have
been required from time to time, the
Adige floods being frequent and might

onese have learned to their cost. Most
of the existing bridge was the work of
Fra Giocondo. who was employed upon
it in 1920 III the eighty-fifth year of his
age. The battlemented Ponte Gi Cas-

PAPER SITUATION TOPIC
OF WASHINGTON PRINTERS

The Typothetae of Washington, at its
meeting yesterday. discussed the paper
situation. which is causing concern to
members of the organization. The
printers have been seeking ways and
means of protecting their customers
under the present unsettled conditions,
and to this end had Ross p. Andrews
review the conditions and outline flu
ture prospects. Mr.. Andrews stated
that the conditions were unlikely to
improve for two years after the war.
and THAT If 1t should continue it would
be practically impossible to purchase
many Of the standard grades of paper.
He advised the printers, therefore, to
put themselves in a position to protect
their customers. and prophesied that
conditions would be such that the
printer would be unable to do more
than take care of the customers with
whom he had regularly done business.
Frank B. Reyes of the Potomac Elec-
trotype Foundry. talked to the printers
on the proper method of preparing
work that was to be eIectrotyped, and
his suggestions were of much beneft
to the printers.
Franc E. Sherry. president of tho
organization. addressed the printers on
the standard list.
After the melting, the printers held an
oyster roast, with plenty of good
things besides oysters. Robert Schwer-
in -and William H. Delaney, business
secretary Of the organization, were
the committee having the matter in
charge.
Others present were the following:
Lewis M. Thayer, Joseph L. Shaw,
Thomas P. Moore. Mr.. Friedman, Al
bert Weyraugh, Charles F. Crane, JOS
eph L. Shipley. Mr.. Limerick. B. Wag-
ner. Mr.. Radcliffe. William Rosser,

best in the country.
He said that altogether since the in

War Department had purchased Atty
nine aeroplanes, not including the
eight authorized and now being pur-

WCT|M0F FRAME Up"
SAYS GOV. BRUMBAUCH
Declares Pennsylvania Senators
Tried to Force Him Out
of Contest.

PHILADELPHIA, April s.-Martin
G. Brumbaugh, Governor Of Pennsyl-
vania, has barred his teeth to his po-
litical opponents by making the open
charge that United States Senator
George T. Oliver recently attempted to
force him to withdraw as a presiden-
tia1 candidate and permit the Penrose
forces to dominate the state political
situation.
Gov. Brumbaugh asserted that he
was the victim of a political frame
up and that he would fight to
finish." not only for Endorsement of his
presidential aspirations but for the
mittee.
The method taken by his enemies to
make him leave the race, the governor
said. WAS the production of a check for
81, 900. made by David 3. Oliver, brother
of the senator, payable to and Endorsed
by the governor, which was ostensibly
campaign contribution which he had
not reported In fling his election ex-
pense account. The governor says
Senator Oliver tried to use this check
as a club over him to make him sur
render to the Penrose forces
The governor in his statement said:
David B. Oliver WAS one of my dear
est friends. He knew my financial con-
dition. He sent me this check with a
letter in which he expressly and def
niteiy requested me to use 1t for my
personal. not my political, needs. The
money was never used in any way in
my campaign and is therefore not re-
ported In my expense account"
