TOdny's True
Story

IN HE trouble really began as
Jane and Bob stood at the
edge Of q Florida flying
field, watching the gracefully ar
irving and departing planes.
Nevertheless Bob failed to
realize it, to see the dark clouds
gathering. He still considered
himself the luckiest fellow on
earth. For, hadn't he pursued
Jane from the sunny South;
hadn't he won the "yes" Of the
pretty, petted, spoiled daughter
of the Van Tners-Self willed as
a princess and as hard to
satisfy?
The answer to that was-yes.
But, were his difficulties ended?
The answer to that was-no.
Jonas Starke, international
promoter and his father, had
warned Bob that a girl so
elusive was more than likely to
constitute a life problem, but
Bob's eloquence and sincerity
had at last won Jonas gruff
consent to the Florida jaunt.
Bob smiled again now as he
thought Of how triumphantly
he could meet the pater and
tell Of his victory in the arena
Of love.
AS the tall, well set up young
man stood at the aviation field
with Jane she suddenly discov-
cred that there was something
else she wanted.
Lets go up, Bob" she ex-
claimed, her black eyes spark
ling, her crimson lips parted.
If Bob had been observing he
would have realized it was more
OF a command than a request.
Instead, he only grinned at her
in surprise.
"What-me? Get into one Of
those things? Not for a million
dollars, Janey!" Jane could
frown. And she di''. Also, she
pouted.
Don't mean to convey that
you're afraid?" she asked. a
trifle contemptuously.
Anything you like" returned
Bob, laughingly. "On the
ground for me-"
Jane looked piercingly at
him with her swapping eyes.
Then, with a shrug, Lets
motor back. Mother wants us
to go to the Alcazar tonight.
She's perfectly dotty about
Spanish dancing, and they're
having Senorita zita, from
Cuba. The band there does
jazz very well, too, and I want
to dance myself"
20. K" answered Bob, tax
ing her arm. "I'd dance til I
dropped for you."
On the way into town Jane

FLIGHT.

you. She was only a casual
acquaintance"
"M-mh!" murmured Jane
doubtingly.
Bob looked sharply down at
her. That's a fact, Jane.
Nothing between us ever: cross
my heart. Not jealous, are
you?"
Hardly" answered Jane with
a slight curl Of the lip. But she
fell into silence just the same.
The ballrom Of the Alcazar
was flooded with multi.colored
lights and pleasing decorations
Of the Spanish type. The fash
ionable crowd was as brilliant
as q flower garden in midsum-
mer, with its gay frocks and
shimmering with gems.
The much-advertised Zita had

said as Jane went out with her
bag: ''I think you're making q
mistake" Jane kissed her-but
she went.
For a long time Mrs. Van
Tiler sat, thinking. Just be-
fore midnight the phone at her
elbow tinkled.
She answered: mo, Jane
isn't here Mrs. Van Tiler
speaking =" Jane has gone

Limited Sorry, Bob
Goodbye"
AS Jane sped out of the
South, she. sat in reverie q
great deal Of the time. Over
and over again she told herself
she had made the right deci-
sion. Which, possibly, showed
that she was having a hard
time to convince her Subcon-
sciOuS self Of that.
Ending q long, hard journey
or so 1t had seemed to Jane
she heard the station call and
followed the porter carrying
her bag out and down the steps
into the great terminal. Jane
sighed, as she had done re-
peatedly on her runaway trip.
She insisted on taking her
bag, and then she followed the
crowd along the platform to the
exit gates, not with her usual
Springy Step-more like one
very tired and quite discouraged.
She pushed through to the
gateway and was about to ask
for a taxi when someone seized
her arm. Jane angrily, indig-
nantly shook herself free and
stopped in her tracks. Then
she looked up to see who It was.
She gazed into the face Of

"Why-why, where did you

"How-how in the world did

Jane.

Jane gasped again. You've

There was menace in his voice.

here, you may as well get Q

"Righto," said Bob, as he
picked UP her bag. Lets CO."
The Washington times., 1930-01-10

was the swift thought that ran
through her mind as she flashed
a smile up into Steve's face.
He was drawing her aside
from the crowd now. He wanted
to talk to her.
Let's get out into the air.
he said to her.
And when they were outside
the shop he had another sug-
gestion to make.
why don't we go UP the
street to the Seminole and have
q bite Of lunch?" he asked.
Lovejoy looked longingly past
him at the roof Of the big ho-

. whirled across the mirror-like
floor in response to a third en-
core, passing very close to the
chair where Bob sat, with Jane
beside him. A spotlight was
thrown uopn her as she moved
and for a moment she and Bob
were in the fullness of its glare.
Bob looked admiringly up into
the face Of the dancer, clapping
his hands, crying Bravo" with
the rest, and was rewarded with
a special smile from the star Of
the evening.
"It's frightfully stuffy-let's
go!" exclaimed Jane. rising sud

In the open she waited i'm

after she had alighted, she
stood facing him, pale, silent.
why, why, Jane, what is
the matter?" pleaded Bob.
'Only this" said she icily.
I'VE have made a mistake. I
should never have permitted
you to carry me off my feet as
I did. It is enough that / have

She handed him his ring and
rushed into the house, refusing
to listen. Bob heard the door
slam. He took several steps
toward it, but, with shoulders

Jane paced up and down a
moment. Her mother sank
back in a chair hopelessly. 1t

Do Not Regret the Past!

such the mistake should be
wiped from the slate-not en-
Shrined in vain regret.
It is human nature to feel

What human nature does not
take into consideration in this
process of self-condemnation
the fact that under given cir
cumstanceS at a given time and
stage of experience the same
thing would be done in exactly
the same manner.
It is because you have grown
in experience between then and
now that you see wherein you
failed.
The only important thing is
to be sure you do not make the
identical mistake NOW. This,
and to stop condemning your
self, stop sacrificing yourself to

Norrie was exactly the kind

Lovejoy could remember.
Norrie shared the flat with
three other nurses.
The three other nurses were
trained ones, who wore white
professioual-looking uniforms
and went but on all sorts of
difficult and important cases.
But Norrie never finished her
training at Mercy Hospital. She
had taken some kind Of a
special course in caring for
children, however, and she was
what is known as "a trained
child'S nurse"
Nature certainly had intended
Norrie for q mother. She
adored little children, and chill
dren inStinctively trusted her
and liked her.
But so far as Lovejoy knew,
no man ever had cared enough
for Norrie to. ask her to marry
him and give him his children.
She was not the sort Of girl
who instantly attracts men.
She was tail and slender, but
she had very little grace and
allure, There was nothing
Of the flirt and siren about
her.
Her brown eyes were direct
and keen. Her mouse-co colored
!, hair was brushed straight back
into q flat coil at the back Of
her head. She had no beauty.
None at all.
But she was sweet, and some
how she looked as sweet as
she was which is q gift in
itself.
She was shopping on this
cold clear morning for little
presents for the crippled chill

One Of them is for you, and I

reached the crowded down
town district.
She looked down at the little
silver wrist-watch that she wore.
"It's eleven now," she added.
Lets meet each other at
noon. and have lunch at Ting
ley's."
Tingley's was a tea-room at
the corner Of Fourth Avenue
and Jones Street. It was
little place that made a Spe-
cialty of salads and sand
wicheS, and it was very popular.
When Lovejoy opened it's doors
at 10 minutes before IL that
morning she found it packed.
Every one of its red lacquer
tables was taken. and there was
q crowd Of people just inside the
door waiting to be seated.

close to Lovejoy's ear. And
swinging around, she found her
self face to face with Steve

She was so surprised that she
left one of her four packages
fall. And even through it's pa
per wrappings she could hear it
smash as it struck the marble
floor of the room. It was a
china powder boy she had just
bought for Norrie.
Steve picked it up. feeling it
with his fingers.
"It's broken - whatever it
was" he said, his face very red,
''and it's my fault. You'll let
me buy you something else to

Lazzaro Spallanzani
By Archibald Henderson, Phi. d., LII. d.

THE year 1929 was memor-

the birth of the justly famous
Italian scientist, Lazzaro Spall-
anzani.
Born on January IL, 1929.
he lived an extraordinarily
rich, active and fruitful life
Of 10 years. After receiving ex.
cellent preliminary training in
his birthplace, Scandiano, italy,
he prosecuted advanced studies
at the Jesuit College at Reggie
di Modena in 1744.
Subsequently he developed
strong scientific interests at
the University of Bologna,
where he was encouraged by
his cousin. the famous woman
scientist, Laura BaSsi and by
ValliSneri, professor Of natural
history at Padua.
In 1854, at the early age of
20, SpallanZan1 was appointed
to q profesSorship at the college
at Reggie. Six years later, he
accepted the chair of physics.
which probably included natu-
raj history. at Modena, and
thereafter consistently devoted
himself to scientific work.
It was we'll said by Minot, q
few years ago, that "Spallan-
zani established the modern
standard" in science. This is
we'll evidenced by the following
quotation from the introduc.
ton to one of Spallanzarrs

One of the great controver-
sizes of the time ragged around
the question of spontaneous

periments on mutton gravy,
proved, as he thought, that life
comes spontaneously from dead
stuff.
He had taken the precautions
in his experiments to plug up
his bottles of gravy with corks,
to keep out microscopic organ
isnS in the air; and also to
heat the bottles for a short
time.
Spallanzani distrusted the re-
suits of Observation-Disclosures,
which had profoundly impressed
the royal. society of England.
He repeated the experiments
under conditions of modern
scientific accuracy-sealing shut
the vessels with glass-and boil

The result was: No organisms
