he found himself in a low-ceilinged smoky pool
room. Grouped about a green table were eight
or ten young men.
They were furtive and shifty and they had
o mannerism of speaking from the side of the
mouth, but they remained silent, and a voice
that seemed to be the voice of the pool room
itself came to the judges ears:
"I am guilty., and this crowd of toughs

he entered his teens.

criminals and would-be criminals. gave him

OF the racketeer. I taught him to look up TO
bandits and booze runners and gamblers, for
they are great men in my world.
And yet, as plead guilty, don't blame
these young gangsters here too heavily. For

THE judges eyes were misty. He blinked to

heavily rouged and powdered, dressed in o

"Iu plead guilty, too, judge" she said. She
looked at him for moment, embarrassed by
her own candor. 1.-THE kid fell for me- I'm the
only girl he ever liked.
"You know, he didn't talk an awful lot, but

me to wait and says he'll get it for me. And
that was why he went out and pulled that

And then the girl vanished, and it seemed to
the judge that he was lifted up so that he could
see the whole city its buildings glittering in the
Spring sunlight. its myriad smoke plunes tossed
on TO the North in long, santing lines by the
!resh South wind, and as he watched he heard
the city's voice. confused and compelling:

The voice trailed of and the Judge prepared
to pronounce sentence. It all seemed clear to
him now. The strange figures of his dream
united to form a whole that was touched BY q
bright light from beyond the clouds; he could
see clearly, could see the pitiful, tragic forms
of SHINING men and women could look into their
hearts and find there not the baseness that he

Adr1h at Sea in n Rubber Boat

While Harshman drifted In his little rubber
bubble In a shark-infested sea, the entire
Navy searched for him afloat and in the cir.
The entire fleet, assembled for its Spring ma
neuvers, turned to and searched under orders
from Admiral Jehu ". Chase to seek Harshman
until he was found or hope had to be abandoned.
Approximately 1876 surface vessels and 200
airplanes of the feet participated IN the search.
They covered an ocean area Of some 5000
square miles and the coastal area from Panama
to the countries adjacent to Colombia. The
search was continued for three days without
the slightest success before the searchers were
called on.
The slender young pilot was warmly COM
mended for his courageous 6ght for life by
those high in the naval service.
'I am highly gratined both at the courage
and fortitude displayed by Harshman during
his exciting incident in the Pacific and ct the
perfect functioning Of the material provided
our naval aviators,' said David s. ingalls,, As
sistant Secretary Of the Navy for Aeronautics.
T ''Harshnan, having found himself under the
necessity Of landing far at sea in the Pacific
In . land plane, accomplished this In such q
manner that the plane and fiotation equipment
were not damaged, but could be and were inn
Mediately put Into operation. The fotatSOn
gear sustained the heavy metal-constructed
plane and engine for over eleven hours. As
1t began finally 20 give way HarShman made
ready with the rubber boat which is provided
as part OF the, equipment of this type land
plane, and in this was able to continue afloat
until he was rescued five days later. The entire
incident Is q high compliment to the personnel
Of our naval aviation, to their training and
to the material provided"
Harshman's rubber boat was picked up by
the Cerigo and was found to be in good condi-
ton when inspected following his adventure
The little boat was forwarded to the Navy
Bureau Of Aeronautics and at the present time
- at the Anacostia Naval Air Station.

an unreasonable little beast and she hated him
and he wasn't worth grteving over.
Mr.. Kingman was in the hall when she
walked in.
"Are we going?" he asked
Eyes, right now. Stacia took her hat from
the sofa where she had thrown it and called,
Good night Ma"
Ma didn't answer. She was good and mad
all right.
THEY got started at last after Mr.. Kingman
had upset garbage pals on both sides of
the street while turning the car around. They
headed north in silence Up the Bronx River
Parkway over the road that stacia had Travelled
SO often with Jimmy. Mr. Kingman held his
silence, so Stacia had plenty of time to think
OF those trips in Jimmy's little car.
Jimmy was sweet kid all right She won

telephone him in the morning and he would
be around tomorrow night. Perhaps they'd ride
over this ground just as she and Mr.. Kingman
were doing now. Only, Stacia thought, as
Kingnan side-swiped a sentinel light, not so
swiftly.
They stopped for gasoline in White Plains.
Stacia figured that they would turn back then
but, no, Mr. Kingman continued north.
Stacia yawned. and Mr.. Kingman said:
L
on riding till I'm sleepy. Otherwise won't
get any sleep tonight"
Are you going to keep riding in one direc-
ton until you're sleepy?" Stacia asked.
He did not answer, and Stacia wondered what
the trip back would be like.
It was 80 when they finally turned some
where in Connecticut Mr.. Kingman wasn't
sleepy, but he had just had idea.
"Tn go back, think" he said. IT was
sap to disappear tonight. Francesca will be
giving everybody her side Of the story. I ought
to be running around telling people my version"
That's right" Stacia yawned.
It long, hard trip back to her house,
only Mr.. Kingman talked now. He told Stacia
all that Francesca would be telling people about
him and he told Stacia all that he would tell
people about Francesca.
Stacia was dead tired when the lavender
limousine scraped its tires against the curb In
front of her house. She did not think it neceSa
,sary to extract a promise from Mr.. Kingman
that he would do nothing rash. He was too
excited now and anxious to see his friends for
she was too sleepy
When the alarm rang the next morning, she
felt like remaining in bed. It occurred to her
that Mr.. Kingman certainly couldn't object TO
her taking the day OF. He probably would be
staying home today. But Stacia rose and

Bang!

But he had really hung up the receiver.
Stacia went to work with a heart that felt like
lead in her bosom. She cried a little in the
subway train. The three-room apartment
which she and Jimmy had planned was lost
now. And so was Jimmy-to her.
Just before noon Mr.. Kingman put in his
appearance He entered with jaunty step and
q face wreathed In smiles. As he passed Stacia
he gestured to h:r. She followed him to his
desk
What do you think?" he asked her.
Stacia gave up.

fairly blazed at Mr.. Kingman, who had always
seemed so big and masterful. What for?"
Why, for being peevish about her going to

Stacia's lips curled In contempt. Somehow
he was not Mr.. Kingman now. He was just
poor, weak individual in need Of Q dressing

manhood saw her through the darkest moments
when couples began to stroll arm in arm. up

Suddenly the bell rang. Stacia opened the
