Flashes of Life

NEW YORK-In the view Of
Christopher Morley, dramatic pro-
dUcer, some Of New York's ultra
smart set have an unhappy, empty
and fatuous life. In a lecture he de-
nounced them for being noisy and
rowdy at his revival in Hoboken in
the old melodrama, after Dark;
or Neither Maid, Wife Nor Widow"
MATAWAN, N. J. - Mathilda
seems to have made one Of those
endurance records. She remained II
a tree-top five days and five nights
yoWling. The reason was a bunch
Of wasps in the lower branches. Not
until they were sprayed with poison
did she descend. Mathilda is Mrs.
Margaret L. Terhune's cat.
O'BRIEN'S BRIDGE, Irish Free
State-Where the River Shannon
flows there is much heat, light
and power. The stream has been
harnessed in the service of the ma
ton. President Cosgrave pressed a
button that started it to work.
BALTIMIRE-Miss Dorothy Burns
who would be a fighter, has been
denied a license by the state ath-
letic commission. Its doctor found
she was not fit. She is a boxers
widow. Her real name is Mrs. Anna
May Hess.
BLOCK ISLAND, r. 1t is
easier for Amelia Earhart to look
down at the top of the ocean than
up at it. In a divers suit, all ready
to 60 to the depths, she yanked at
a signal rope and was pulled back
aboard a boat. These divers GER
tainly must have their nerve" The
transatlantic flyer remarked.
PITTSBURGH, PA.-The milk
man stands acquitted Of heinous
offenses. DR.. H. NJ. Johnson Of Mel
Ion institute, has discovered by an
automatic machine attached to beds
that noise as a sleep-disturbing fac
tor has been greatly exaggerated.
When street noises were at a mini
mum sleep was rather light for
most subjects.

to intensive thought Once Epic rose and ap-
preached lower 2. He was greeted by deaf
ening snore. He jumped back, and then smiled.
1t was at least some relief to know that Mistuh
Warren was heavy sleeper.
He knew he had to do something. Some
thing drastic. Something that would prevent
a resumption Of hoStilities In the morning.
Each combatant knew that the other would be
armed. They were the type Of men who would
not start shooting under other conditions. II
only one of them should be unarmed and the
other knew it. Suddenly Epic's head jerked
back as an idea struck him: an idea both bril-
liant and dangerous. It could work and then
again
Epic recalled the llsty Enore that had ema-
mated from Mr.. Warren'g berth o few minutes
since. Suppose that, while the hon1icidal gen.
tleman slept, he-Epic-should insinuate his
hand into that berth and extract therefrom the
gun that was ambitioning 70 separate MIR. Dom
cyan from his earthly existence? Once Epic
had the gun securely hidden, he would visit Mr..
Donegan in the drawing room. He would APP
prise that gentleman of the fact that his arch
enemy was on the car IN totally unarmed
condition. Mr.. Donegan would not shoot Mr..
Warren 30 long as the latter was glnless, and
MIR. Warren could not shoot Mr.. Donegan for
the same reason.
It was really an excellent scheme. There
was only one flaw, and that was its distinctly
hazardous nature. Suppose Mr.. Warren should
apprehend Epic in the act OF taking the gm7
Mr.. Peters might make some sort Of an excuse
On the other hand, Epic reflected, o cor
nered rat takes on many attributes Of the lion.
It was either that-"or else" And the cor
else" did not make any vast appeal to Epic.
With pounding heart, he made ready for his
Intervention. He extinguished al Of the ceiling
lights save one. He traversed the aisle three
or four times to assure himself that all the
passengers were sleeping or else totally disin-
terested in what might be occurring elsewhere
In the car. Then he stationed himself outside
lower 2.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-16

An ecstatic smile spread over Epic's ebony
countenance. No question of the fact that Mr..
Warren was an enthusiastic sleeper. Epic was
certain that he would not wake when his ex-
pert fingers slipped through the curtain.
Mr.. Peters drew q long breath, controned-in
some slight measurable palsy of fear that
shook him, and slipped one lean arm through
the curtains Of lower 2.
Deity and noiselessly he searched He knew
every square inch of the section and avoided
with scrupulouS care any contact with the slum-
bertng warrior. Eventually he located MIR. War.
ren's trousers. A swift feel conveyed the in
formation that, wherever else the gun might
be, 1t was not in those trousers. Epic quested
along the little shelf into which the daytime
headrest is converted at night Nothing there
but square blanket. Then the hammock.
Socks. collar and tie. pair of felt slippers.
and then
Epc's fingers closed around something large
and heavy. He knew instantly that his search
was at an end. With infinite care he withdrew
his SpoiIs from the section. One glance sufdced.
He held in his hand large leather holster that
was weighted down by a decidedly efficient
looking revolver.
Not sound from lower except snoreS
Epic's heart sang exultantly. The most difi-
cult obstacle had been huTdled in safety. There
remained now only the minor matters of con-
cealing the revolver and INDUCING in a little
diplomacy with Mr.. Donegan, who lay slumber-
ing in the drawing room.
Still apprehensive, Epic sided into the cor
ridor between the main car and the smoking
compartment. There In the dim half-lght-
and looking fearfully over his shoulder as he
acted-he Withdrew the revolver from its rest
ing place. And as he did so. something hap
pened; something Of which Epic was blissfully
unaware.
A FLAT, Oblong object slipped out Of the
holster and fell noiseleSsly to the floor
Mr.. Peters did not notice; he was too engaged
in being frightened, watching for observers and
staring at his trophy.
It was indeed q gun. Large and ugly and
murderously clean. Epic returned it to its
holster, slid holster and gun under his coat.
and tiptoed into the main corridor again. Then
taking particular pains to make no sound
he opened the door Of his linen closet and con.
cealed the revolver underneath some sheets on
one Of the topmost shelves. He locked the
door, shook his head in the manner of q diver
coming up for air, and made his way to the
smoking compartment, where he could find time
to congratulate himself on his courage and
foresight.
He felt the reaction from the terrific tension
OF the past hour. and so-soon after the train
left Anniston-he lolled back against the leath-
er cushions and dozed. He slept without inter-
ruption until the train approached Atlanta,
where it was due at o'clock.
Mr.. Peters had mapped out his course Inn
mediately ON leaving Atlanta he was going to
enter Mr.. Donegan's drawing room and explain
conditions. That much was settled

Epic had been thrilled by accounts Of the

Wave Is General
Bv United Press

An intense cold wave held the
greater part of the United States in
its grip today, bringing death and
suffering.
Bitterly cold temperatures, carried
on driving wind, were reported
from the east, midwest, northwest
and far west. The south and south
west also we're shivering in sub
normal temperatures.
One death was reported in New
York, six in Chicago, one from In
diana, one from Wisconsin and one
from Iowa-a total of nine. Traffic
accidents were numerous. streets in
many cities being covered with ice.
Record lows were touched in
nearly every state, InSiana reporting
that the thermometers there regis-
tered the lowest marks for Noyem-
Der in sixty years.
