Said to Have Admitted Leaving
Accident Scene Without Stopping.

Charged with leaving the scene of
an accident without disclosing his
identity, Aaron Trachtenberg, % years
old, 439 K street, was arrested last
night by Detectives Edward Kelly
and George Darnall, it being alleged
that his car struck and severely in
jured Miss Mary Hart. "A X street
while crossing the roadway near her
home Tuesday night
Trachtenberg is said by the detec-
tives to have admitted being the
driver of the car, explaining his fail
ure to stop was due to the fact that he
is on parole from the Lorton Reforma-
tory and feared his parole might be re-
voked.
Discussing the accident with the de-
tectives, Trachtenberg said he drove
to Baltimore after his car struck Miss
Hart, throwing away his license num-
bers on the way there. He was re-
leased on bond in the sum of 81 900
for his appearance in Traffic Court.

TEN years ago, there was

in anticipation with the
caption: That Night"

darkness that suggests
mystery and possible dan

Barbara glanced toward the back
of the house. There were two tiny
noclxs of bedrooms under the caves.
Then she spoke impulsively. why
don't you move in here for few
days, Maria, until things straighten
out for you? There's room enough"
Maria shook her head. Guess I'd
better not. You'd get awful sick of
me. have terrible moods some
times. Let's go out to dinner" She
pulled out coin purse and spilled
some nickels and dimes and q soil
tary quarter into her lap. II can
eat"
They went out together into the
snowy street. Maria -eapered like a
smaR boy.
They dined at little Russian cafe
in a basement, where for the price of
an ordinary restaurant meal, they
were served with European delica-
cies and with trif1es of nuts and
sweetmeats for dessert that Barbara
had never tasted before.
= ~ ISIS FURNl ADLS ATTITUDE
IMI toward Barbara changed per-
ceptibly. Sometimes she
glanced away in confusion when
Barbara looked her way. On two
occasions she refused to go to lunch
when Barbara asked her.
Miller gave Barbara most of the
leading stories. Miss F'urnivall
seemed glad to yield the more siren
uous assignments to her. But the
relations between them were not
comfortable.
Barbara looked in at Miss F'urni-
Wallis door one afternoon. The desk
was cleared and Miss F'urnivall's
wraps were gone from the hatrack.
She went out of the building with
a vague sense of trouble disturbing
her. 1t was not time for Miss F'urni-
vail to be gone.
When Barbara reached Washing
ton Square 1t was quite dark.
The fires inside her little apart
ment were lighted and one lamp
glowed in a corner Of the living
room.
There was no sign of Maria. Bar
bara went to the kitchen and put
the tea kettle on before she took off
her hat and coat. Then she passed
by the fireplace again and stopped
to look in the flames as she went.
The door OF her bedroom was
closed, although she had left it
open that morning.
She opened it and went in. The

string.
When the messenger appeared she
handed him the bulky package.
Take this to Miss Daisy Olivero, 70

the corridor next morning.

Are you very busy today? Miss
F'urnivall hasn't shown up yet and
we're almost swamped. Could you
run off some Back Stage Brevities'
for her column before you start out

Barbara walked toward him. "I'n
manage 1t somehow, Mr.. Miller.
Have you any idea what's delaying
Miss F'urnivall?"
Not the slightest" said Miller.
removing his big cigar. "Deuced in
convenient time for her to play off
on us, with the anniversary number
going to press in two days. Her
telephone doesn't answer"
"She must be sick" interposed
Barbara "She went home early yes
terday"
"Oh, yes, know she'd be here If
possible. Betsy is the soul Of re-
liability. Lord. 1 guess she has a
right to be sick. after these twenty
years of work. Betsy isn't the sort
who ought to be working for her
living, anyway. She's not hard
enough to hit back at the world
when 1t tries to knock her down.
She ought to be knitting beside some
mans fireside."
Barbara shifted. "And working
harder for room and board than she
works for the salary you pay her.
I don't know that she would be any
better of, depending on some man.

dressing table between the dormer
windows met her gaze. Its drawers
were standing open, with their con
tents streaming over the sides to the
floor. The articles on top of the Ia
BILE were disarranged and -he scarf
hung half off.
Barbara ran toward it. She
searched frantically in the lower
drawer. Her ring box stood open.
1t was empty.
~ ARBARA jerked the. drawer
III out and emptied its contents
on the floor. Then she
searched through the ribbons and
gloves and handkerchiefs. But the
rings were not there.
She went out to the dining-room.
The silver had not been disturbed.
Passing through the Iving-room, she
noticed for the first time that the
samover was lighted. On the table
beside it sat a cup and saucer. The
cup had contained tea. A bunch OF
mignonette in a glass of water was
beside 1t.
"A slip of paper protruding from
beneath the saucer attracted her at
tention as she was about to turn
away.
Dear Barbara: This is a fine
howdy-do, you'll think. But you
don't need those rings, and 1 do.
Daisy got mad today and turned
me out. Just to pay her back I'll
let you keep the samover. I
shouldn't wonder il 1t was as val
liable as these two diamonds-it's
been In her family for ages and
ages.
IF you don't want it, try hook
ing it. Some day I'll pay you back
for the rings. I'm really sorry to
have to do 1t. for you've been nice
to me. But a girl must live.

you the wrong to coming to live

have bought you more mignonette,
but had only quarter.

Good-by and good luck. Maria"
Barbara read the note several
times Then she put out the fire
under the samovar and telephoned
for a messenger. In the interval
before his arrival she wrapped the
samovar in strong brown paper,

my peace any longer. I'll run over
to Miss Furnivall's home this after
noon and see how she is"
t'Good idea," said Miller.
Just before noon the Office boy en-
tered Barbara's room. "Queer-look-
ing dame outside wants to see you,
Miss Hawley. Says her name is
Olive Oil or something like that"
Barbara smiled. ~"Show her in"
The woman who entered a mo-
ment later was slim and graceful.
Her skin was dark. and a rich color
burned in her cheeks. She wore a
coat Of some strange, embroidered
fabric in many colors.
II am Daisy Olivero." she an
nounced. "Since couldn't see you
the other day. I've come to atone
for it. I'll give you the interview
now, If you like"
Yes, indeed, though it will have
to go in the next number now. It's
too late for, the current number But
first tell me whether the samovar
arrived safely I've been anxious
about it."
Miss Olivero smiled languidly.
Eyes, 1t came. And 1 was glad to
see. 1t, too. rather thought my
little pet was gone for keeps that
time. Maria had host of original
little stunts like that. But this was
the most serious she ever played on
me-"
II didn't understand that she had
actually taken it without telling
you," said Barbara. 81 supposed
she had explained about it and
meant to take it back to you in a
few days. But 1t seems she meant
to pay for my rings with it,"
Daisy Olivero laughed again, this
time more heartily. mo. she didn't
take it for that purpose. Maria
never thought that far ahead. She

ment we had on Schopenhauer She

macy about him, and 1 was very
angry and went away. When 1 came
back, the samovar was gone. didn't
worry so very much. for thought
it would return one day, as soon as
Maria got over her crouch.
But things got worse instead Of
better. We quarreled next day
about Norman BelSGeddes' stage set
tings, and the day after that she
said my welsh rarebit wasn't fit to
eat. Finally we had the grand blow
up over who should take care Of the

Of coming to live with me, answered
Barbara.
Miss Olivero lifted her eyebrows.
Lucky? You don't know how
lucky"
The talk moved to Miss Ollvero's
stage career. She spoke Of it with
a depth Of feeling. From time to
time she rose and walked about the
little room as she talked.
I'D like to play always in the
Village" she said, at last, turning
to face Barbara. Her eyes burned.
That's the only place that knows
what ! am trying TO do, the only
place that will hear what / am try
ing to say. It'stonly in the Village
that one finds freedom and beauty
and the natural life. Down there,
we know what living means. We've
got rid of all the old outworn com
pulslon and stupid taboos that rule
the rest Of the world. It's the best
an artist can find, in this day and
age.
But unlucldly, in the Village,
we're all poor. And even can't live

print that in your story"
Barbara gazed admiringly at the
earnest face of the woman. IT wish
I knew your Village. It's Just a
legend to me at present, Miss
Olivero."
The actress lifted her eyes to Bar
bara's. Would you like to meet the
real Village?" she said. Come to

little studio party, for few. people
who are doing things. Wear what

chair. WHAT she exclaimed.

here. I'd like chance to meet peo-
pie who are doing things and living
as they want to live and defying the
world They must be a brave and
happy lot"
And an unwashed lot" added
Miss Furnivall.
"Why, Betsy, don't be SNUG old
standpatter. You know lots of real
people have come out OF the Village.
Look at Susan Giaspell and Edna st.
Vincent MilIay and Floyd Dell. And,
anyhow, you should see my fireplaces
and the little loft where I'll do my
writing"
Miss Surnivall's brows were still
supercilious. did you look for
cockroach es?"
Barbara burst into laughter. Dear
me, Betsy, 1 believe you're Jealous
of the Village. You just don't want
me to move out of your neighbor-
hood. Now, isn't that it? Why
don't you come and live with me?''
Miss Furnivall shook her head. Il
wouldn't fit in, and you know it"
"Well, / want to know what it is
now, at any rate. SO you mustn't

ARIA appeared to help with the

Ill sitting on the piano when she
first entered, carrying her suit case
and bandbox. The trunks had al
ready been deposited in the middle
of the room.

cigaret and kicked her heels against
the piano Hello, therei ! just

ing. A house that's completely empty

Barbara smiled. "I1l come, glad.
ly. But I'll have to come alone.
There isn't man i can ask in New
York"
Miss Olivero was gathering up
her purse and gloves. "Rlght-o.
Catch a taxi and come alone, about
9 o'clock"
She left the office and It seemed
to Barbara as if a cloud had come
when the bright coat left.
AT 5 o'clock she left the Foot
lights plant and walked toward Fifth
Ave. Miss Furnivall's apartment
was in a building on West Fifty
Ninth, just off the avenue.
There were no buses in sight on
the avenue. so Barbara walked leis-
urely up the street, breathing the
clear wintry air with pleasure.
The apartment building in which
Elizabeth Furnlvall lived was shah.
by. 1t was situated, with character
istic New York incongruity, between
two pompous stone houses with fret
work iron doors. On the steps or
one stood a large stiff-necked fo(
man. holding leash to which wse
attached a Pekingese dog not much
larger than rat. The man stared
over Barbara's head as she went by.
When she entered the hallway OF
Miss Furnivall's building, she was
surprised at its appearance. Thick
dust lay on the stairs and the odor
OF friend food hung about the cor.
ners.
Barbara went UP the stairs to the
third floor. A door Immediately at
the head of the staircase bore Miss
Furnivall's number.
She knocked lightly. and then
more loudly. No one answered. She
knocked again, but there was silence.
Then she felt the knob. 1t turned
unexpectedly, and she went in.
Barbara fell back against the door
as a rush Of gas met her nostrils.
