Sidney was a mighty pretty girl. The
June night was in his blood. He was
sorry he had not kissed Carlotta good
night. He rather thought, now he
looked back, she had expected it.
AS he got out of his car at the curb
a young man who had been standing in
the shadow of the treebox moved
quickly away.
Wilson smiled after him in the dark
ness.
"That you, Joe?'' he called.
But the boy went on.
Sidney entered the hospital as pro

Sidney sat alone and viewed her
world from this new and pleasant
angle. She could see the garden ant

turning her head, view the Wilson

mostly at the Wilson house.

But he was clever with the guile Of
the pursuing male. Eyes of all on him,
he turned at the door of the wardrobe

Of dozen nurses.
''That patients address that I had
forgotten, Miss Harrison, is the cor

"Thank you."
She played the game well, was quite

made her eyes shine like stars. She
saw only the magnolia tree shaped like
a heart, the terrace edged with low
shrubbery, and beyond the faint CLEAN

across from her. To give SO much
pleasure, and so easily! How young
she was, and radianti No wonder the
boy was mad about her. She fairly
held out her arms to life.
All, that was too bad! Another
table was being brought; they were not
to be alone. But what reused in him
violent resentment only appealed to
Sidney's curiosity.
CarlOtta Harrison came out alone.
Although the tapping of her heels was
dulled by the grass, although she had
exchanged her cap for the black hat,
Sidney knew her at once. A sort Of
thrill ran over her. 1t was the pretty
nurse from Doctor Wilson's Office. Was
it possible-but of course not! The
book Of rules stated explicitly that such
things were forbidden.
"Don't turn around" she said swift
ly. ''It is the Miss Harrison told you
about. She is looking at u.s."
CarlOtta'S eyes were blinded for a
moment by the glare of the house
lights. Then she sat up, her eyes on

in her dreams. This man was older,

She had not been mistaken. Here,

''Your wish is my law-tonight," he
said softly.

VAW1ER TRIAL MAY Bf SENSATIONAL
 VIRGINIA CASE
Professor to Defend Him self From Charge of Kill
 ing College Student,

Christiansburg, Va, April 27. = Charles E. Vawter, professor of math- ematics at Virginia Polytechnic insti- tute, will be tried here at the May term of the Montgomery county circuit court charged with the murder of Heth, Jr., who was prominent in so ciety and sports. He has indicated, through counsel, that his defense will be based on "betrayal of friendship"
 Early in the morning of March 13, Heth, clad only in pajamas, was found mortally wounded in an upper hallway of the Vawter home at Blacksburg, where he was an. overnight guest. Three bullets from revolver had en- tered his body, the range of the shots being upward, indicating they had been fired from the stairway. Pro- lessor Vawtar was arrested on war rant charging him with the shooting, but was released under $1,O0O bond after waving preliminary hearing.
 Just before he died, early in the morning of March 15, in the presence l99f Lieutenant Clement Heth, of the United States army, and Common wealth Attorney R. I. Roop, Heth said:
 Charlie Vawter shot me. He has not got thing to stand on."
 Counsel for Vawter issued a state ment two days later declaring that the "evidence will disclose betrayal of friendship and confidence reposed." It said "the day has not come when the honor of a Virginia home is no longer sacred and we feel our client will have nothing to fear at the hands of a jury of his countrymen."
 Vawter at Liberty.
 Vawter's bond was increased to $10,- 900 after Heth's death and he has con- tinued to live at home since the trag- edy. Apparently there has been no break in the home life and Professor Vawter and his wife have continued to receive their friends.
 Mrs. Vawter is regarded in this sec tion as one of the most beautiful wo- men in the state. Before her marriage she was Miss Rachael Henderson of Salem. The Vawters have too small children, a girl and a boy, both of whom were at home on the night of the shooting. Bernard Williams, a student, was the only other occupant of the house, where he had room.
 Both the Vawter and Heth families are socially prominent and an impos- ing array of counsel has been retained by the opposing sides. Judge w. W. Moffett will preside "Jack" Lee, of Lynchburg, one of the most famous criminal lawyers in the state, will break a precedent of twenty years to assist Commonwealth Attorney Roop in the prosecution. Heretofore he has steadfastly refused to take part for the state in 8 murder trial. J. Hoge Tyler, IT,, of Radford, also has been retained for the state. Vawter will be defended by Corless & Colhoun, of Christiansburg, and R. L. Jordan, of Radford.

PAIR uf YOUNGSTERS
 ADMIT TAKING CAR

Harry Parnell, son of oscar Parnell, and George McVey, son of George D. McVey, both about 15 years old, ac. knowledged to Police Chief Frank Stewart yesterday they had taken Rev. w. J~E. Cox's car from in front of the First Presbyterian church Thursday night for the "joy ride" which ended in the serious injury of Lynn Colbert, also about 15 years old.
 Young Colbert was injured when the car was wrecked on the Country club road shortly after the start of the "joy ride" His companions de serted him while he was unconscious, according to Colbert's statements.
 Dr. Cox said yesterday he had no idea of prosecuting the boys, as it is expected their parents will pay for the damage of the car.
