She went into the room with him,
confident in that belief. Myers closed
the door behind them and placed his

astonishing to see how Lancaster
braced himself for the ordeal. He
drew himself up, standing erect, and
faced the others.

WAGNER TELLS
OF ERROR IN
LAP COUNT
Race Starter Satifies Every
body But Senator ]. E. Col
gan, OF Baltimore

Fred j. Wagner, peer OF auto
race starters, who brought his pc
culiar genius for this work to the
Laurel Speedway last Saturday,
went to a meeting of the speedway
corporations directors at 800 North
Capitol street last night, and ex-
planned why Peter De Paolo really
won the 250-mile inaugural handi-
cap, after Robert McDonogh had
first been declared victor.
He explained to the satisfaction Of
everybody. except State Senator J.
q. Colgan, OF Baltimore. who came
to the meeting with fire in his eye.
Senator Colgan, It Is said, was
the man responsible for the scan.
dalous tanning of active news
papermen in the press stand. Ac-
oording to all reports, he took
sixty Of the 100 press badges AM
distributed them among his personal
friends, while active newspaper1nen
were forced to squeeze themselves
into uncomfortably restricted space.
Words Not Minced.
He did not naince words at last
nights meeting. He charged that
Ernest N. Smith, general manager
of the American Automobile Assoc1-
alton, under which auspices 6atur-
days race was run, had cursed him
over the telephone earlier In the
day. Mr.. Smith was not inclined
to deny the allegation.
AS the wiId-eyed part or fhe
meeting was beginning to burn it
Itch fVAo
OF acrimonious remarks, Mr.. Wag-
rer recited his little piece, soothing
the spirits OF all-except Senator
Colgsn.
Before he was through, It was
evident that the senator had been
provided with an excellent setting
IL he should care to sing "AH
Alone" Even w. =. Schloegel, or
Baltimore. president Of the corpora
ton, had sided away from the I'M
placable one, who sat seething in
his own fire.
Prayed For Safety.
Wagner told the directors that
he had solemnly prayed a few min
utes before the race that God would
spare the lives OF the thousands
who, due to inadequate policing,
had been permitted to crowd
against the infield rail. In CASE
OF serious accident to the racing
cars, said Mr.. Wagner, the ma
chimes might have been thrown
against the rail, endangering hun
dreds Of lives.
He stated that the inexperienced
scorers, hired by the speedway cor
poration, had been responsible for
falling to give De Paolo the accu-
rate count OF laps during the race,
thus apparently showing McDonogh
the winner. He explained in de-
tail how the slip occurred, and the
directors were satisfied. He recon-
mended that the work in the future
be done by trained A. A A. officials,
and this plan met with favor.

and more glasses of beer and in the
end Charles suggested that he haG

wonder where he had stayed so long.
But Aristide did not want to hear of il

in no time
Charles was easily persuaded. Berthe
would be angry anyway, so he might
| as well hang for an OK as for sheen
| And he wanted to see Aristide's place
| So the fiacre was called and the
friends were driving through the mild
| night toward Cours La Refine On the
way Aristide wondered that he was
not drunk at all. His legs were
heavy, his words did not come quite
| easily, but his mind was entirely
clear. In fact, clearer than ever
He saw all things with a strange
lucidity; he understood himself and
fate and life ever so much better than
ever before. To be sure, he could not
talk well, and walking was a nuisance,
but the riddle of the universe held no
more mysteries for him. He was in
sight and wisdom personified. He
knew all things, and, knowing them,
he disliked them.
They arrived at the studio. dis
missed their fiacre, mounted the
stairs and entered the apartment
Charles was deeply impressed
"Wheew. Aristide." he whistled,
what place, What d place. You
do yourself we'll"
AriStide had switched on the lights,
filled two glasses with liquer, taken
out the cigarettes, and, having thus
fulfilled all duties of hospitality,
found a big chair in which he settled
himself
Yes, L guess it's all right" he said.
''only l liked my old place better.
That view over the roofs of the big
city. that was great And my old desk
just at the window, and from my
couch I could see the young moon
and the morning star. Here-well,
here all is soft and pillowy and artis-
tic. Hate it like hell"
Charles was surprised
IF you don't like it, Aristide, why
do you keep this place."
Aristide shrugged his shoulders.
Why? Search me. | don't know.
Ask Loutre. Take these cigarettes
for instance. Dimitrinos. Don't like
them, either They're bitter. Petit
Caporal taste ever so much nicer. But
Dimitrinos are expensive they are in
style. So / have to have them.
Loutre, you know. He makes me do
all these things. Damn Loutre"'
Charles took it all as joke.
We'll" he said, laughingly. you
ought not to damn him, even though
your tastes disagree. He really made
you. Thanks to Loutre, you're ia
nous"
Yes" admitted Aristide, its true.
I'm famous. and he made me. Funny.
Could make comedy out of it. All
the work | did. all the books l wrote
did not bring me as much fame as the
one thing l never wrote at all"
Charles sat up. The fumes of alco-
hol were somewhat clearing from his
brain, and he was staring his surprise.
What" he exclaimed, you did not
write Loutre?'
NO" Aristide assured him, mot a
line of it
But then-then-who wrote that
book" demanded Charles. eXcitedly.
Evening star., 1925-06-13

'Loutre, of course" Aristide said
impatiently.
Loutre?'" asked Charles, bewil-
dered. But you said you did not do
Loutre.'"
Nonsense" growled Aristide. II
said / did not write that damned
stuff. For mercy's sake, Charles,
don't be such an ass. Try to under

| had not sou. Went to Kersac to
get some money. If / had asked him
outright he would have kicked me
out. SO | told him Loutre. He gave
me 100 francs for 1t. He was the
first one to believe in Loutre, to be
impressed by him. That was the be-
ginning"
Again he fell into his musing silence,
and Charles, who did not know what
to make out of all these confessions,
did not disturb him; in fact. he al
most fell asleep. But just when his
eyes became really heavy, Aristide
startled him with the question:
Tell me, Charley, are you super
stitious?"
Charles considered the proposition.
"Oh. I don't think So" he yawned
II pride myself ."
Pride yourself nothing" interrupt
ed Aristide. Don't talk rot. OF
course you're superstitious. We all
are. We all live by our superstitions
and die Of them. Fear, sin, con-
science-in the end nothing but the
superstition of Taboo. Gamily, coun-
try. patriotism-superstiti of the
Totem. Superstition wherever you
look. Racial superstitions ingrained
into US from prenatal days and per
sonal superstitions acquired or per
haps remembered from some weird
nursery tale or the shadowy corner
of an unfamiliar room. You've got 1t
as well as all of us. Counting cob
blestones. Looking for odd and even
numbers. Touching wood. and what
not"
Again he fell silent. but after
while he spoke out of the depth of his
chair:
You know. Charley, l always had.
from the days of my childhood. a very
personal superstition. Funny kind at
that. You know how kids sometimes
draw faces-a round circle, two eyes.

Aristide grfmaced.

Different. Legend perhaps. Yes,
that's it. Legend. Loutre's a legend,
coming out of some dim beginnings
and growing, and growing, and grow
ing"
He sat for a while silently and
smoked, and Charles, who did not
quite understand and who was too
drunk to care greatly, dozed in his
chair. Suddenly Aristide looked up
and said:
Tell me, Charlie, who told you first
of Loutre?'"
Charles tried to remember.
Who told me first of Ioutre? he
repeated. Let me see Why, Berthe
did. Ever so long ago. She came

Aristide thought deeply.
