 He was gone. The front door whir of his car as it started away.
 She groped her way almost hlndly back to the desk chair and sat down. Her brain was in riot, in chaos. It was her subconsciors mind that was prompting her now. She picked up the telephone book. found the number, and called the Herald Star.
 After few minutes she pushed the telephone away from her. No one there knew where Phil was.

WESTERN SEES
GOOD NET TEAM

Along with preparation for other
sports, the local high schools also
are developing tennis teams. And
from all indications each will put
forth a team to compete in the
regular interhigh series and in
outside competition as well.
Western is perhaps better for
titled than any of the others with
veteran material, and is natural
favorite to retain its champion
ship. In fact, so plentiful is the
net material at the Red and White
School that two teams likely will
be formed. One of these will tackle
the harder teams on the schedule
while the other will compete
against foes of lesser note.
Bernie Welsh, who is ranked as
the ace of all local high school
players, takes the No. ranking
on the Western team. George Hol-
man, Walter Miles and Henry
Classic give Coach Charles Bish
three other experienced courtmen,
and there are about two dozen
others out for the squad of less
experience. Only Jack Lynham and
Anthony Latona of last years
team have been lost.
Coach Ray, of Eastern, ex-
poets to mould strong
team from a squad of 20
candidates with Gilbert Hunt
and Joe RObey forming the
nucleus for the team. Both
are highly capable racquet
men.

Mystery ShroudS the identity
Of a woman. about 35 years old,
who was brought to Emergency
Hospital shortly before noon to-
day in the Fourth precinct patrol
wagon from the Rose Gardens,
near Takoma Park, Md.
The woman, though not entirely
unconscious, is unable to talk and
seems in q dazed, Semi.hySterical
condition. Nothing was found by
which she could be identified.
Physicians at Emergency HoSpi-
tai are at a loss to account for
the woman's condition, They say
that it is apparently q mental
trouble, possibly arising from o
long period of depression, but
this is frankly q conjecture.
The woman is Of medium
height, rather stout; and Of
fairly dark complexion. She
wore q brown coat with Q fur
collar, q dark dress. and no hat.
The woman was found lying
face down on the grass after
police received an telephone call,
telling them q woman apparently
was dead or injured at the
Gardens. The call was anony-
