Milton J. Cross announcing on the Slumber Hour over an NEG WIZ network nightly has inspired a resident of Wheeling, w. Va, to write a poem of seven stanzas in appreciation. It is entitled "The Slumber Hour. Dedicated to Mill ton Cross" The opening stanza follows:
 "When the shades of night have
 fallen,
 And the tasks of the day are
 OCT
 Then comes the peaceful soli-
 tude,
 And the program I long for"
 A panhandler accosted Jeff Sparks, NEG announcer, and made the usual request for a nickel for a cup of coffee. mister" Sparks was moved by the mans appear ance and led him to a restaurant where he bought him a full dinner and listened to his tale of woe. The man declared that once he had been a musician of reputation but now had no work. Sparks became enthusiastic and offered to arrange an addition at NEG. The man thanked him and they parted. Next morning Sparks diligently made ar engagements for the appointed au- dition and waited for his friend to arrive. He still is waiting.

The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1931-04-10

Forster wouldn't be able to hear any
ordinary sounds. "He must be a
timorous old rabbit Of a rascal" he re-
marked, rather low but in his natural
voice.
Rhoda was rather startled at this
and admonished him to be careful, but
she smiled in agreement with his char
acterization of Forster. And when she
saw that Martins voice hadn't reached
the old mans ears, she said in a tone
that matched his, HE thought for
minute this afternoon that I'd come up
to shoot him; made me take my hands
out of my pockets. And Conley was
in the room through that little door
down there almost before I'd had time
to do it. Only don't see," she added,
"why he wouldn't want him to listen
as we'll as look"
II think I do" Martin told her. "The
poor old goat lives in terror of physical
violence, you see. imagine he's some
thing Of a crook. He must have to
have lots Of talks with people he's
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1931-04-10

Yesterday was great day on the
new railroad between Baltimore and
Washington, being the first day of its
being opened for travel all the way
from the depot at Baltimore to the
foot Of the Capitol hill in this city,"
said an article in the National Intel
ligencer of August 20, 1885.
at was glorious sight to see four
trains of cars, with each its engine,
extending altogether several hundred
yards in length, making their entry
by this new route, to the delight of
thousands Of spectators in the grounds
directly north of the capitol. These
cars, besides bringing back our own
mayor and members of the corpora
ton and city guests who went out
to meet them, brought about as many
ladies and gentlemen of Baltimore as
made up the whole numbers Of about
a thousand persons carried by the
cars. These, accompanied by two
bands of music, after debarking,
marched in procession to Gadsby's and

CHAPTER XII
Sound-Proof

The next moment they heard the
click of key. For some reason this
closet was supposed to be kept locked.
What sort of closet was it? Martins
right hand reaching into the corner
rested on cane. That might come in
handy, he thought, and he gripped it..
The door swung open, letting in
quite lot of light from the corridor,
but at the same time cutting off his
view Of everything but the inner face
of the door. He heard gasp from
Rhoda and growled what the
devil!" in a mans voice. Conley's!
There was a click Of switch and the
closet light came on overhead.
$50 this is where you've got to, is
it," Conley said. II had an idea you
were still on the premises. Well, the
old man will be glad we haven't lost
you. Come out Of there!'
At that Martin shifted his grip on
the cane, noting as he did that its
rubber shod furrule was heavily
weighted, and kicked shut the closet
uOOE WAtA q S10As
The unexpected and unaccountable
sound of that door slammed to behind
him must have frozen Conley for an
instant. for he and Rhoda presented,
as Martin first saw them, the effect
of tableau vivant, Rhoda backed flat
against the wall-only was it wall or
was that middle panel in 1t a door p
Conley gripping her by one arm in
the midst Of his arrested attempt to
haul her away. The next instant he
turned, saw Martin and jumped for
him.
Martin, who had already shortened
his grip on the cane, knowing that he
wouldn't have room in that closet for
a full swing, met the rush with back
hand stroke at the side Of his assail-
ants head. Thanks to the thick rub
Der cap with which the ferrule was
shod the impact was practically noise
less, but the big detective wilted and
went down under it like stock yards
steer under the maui.
Rhoda and Martin gazed at each
other aghast across him.
Its all right" Martin said. "It's

wanted was to get rid of me, and he
thought he had. And then 1 heard
my uncle talking to Mr.. Forster and
simply bolted in a panic. 1t was per-
fectly silly, but I'm glad I did or
wouldn't have been here now"
"What happened after Max knocked,
me out?" He had already begun ex-
ploring his pockets.
"He took an envelope" she said.
"Out Of that pocket; the first one he
felt in. I suppose 1t must have been
the ticket and trunk check he said
you'd stolen from him. He didn't look
inside. Just crammed it in his pocket
and went out, as quickly as he could"
''How long ago rwas that? mean,
how long was out?"
She turned away from him as she
answered, II don't know. 1t seemed
a long time to me. Was it something
important that he got WAY within"
He told her how he seen Max car

he decided, "is to get out Of here and
beat it to that baggage room. / know
the way to the stairs. That's how 1
got in"
But almost as he spoke there came
the .clatter of a metallic object fall
ing downstairs. Somebody on the other
side of that door had just had an un-
foreseen encounter with Martins
waste-paper basket. Then, as they in
voluntarily stopped with held breath,
they heard key driven into the lock.
Right at hand was door, a little
ajar, opening into what was probably
a closet. Martin, catching Rhoda up
with one arm as if she'd been a pack
age, fairly lifted her inside and shut
the door after them. They heard the
stair door open, they heard steps along
the corridor. But, instead of going
by, the steps paused outside the closet

Care of the Piano

Do not shut your piano off in cold
room, as this will cause all metal parts
to frost, and then when the room is
heated to sweat and rust. AS a rule,
when piano has rusted, this is what
has caused it. If it must be left in
a cold room or house. throw over it
several blankets, quilts or anything to
keep out the cold. Excessive damp
ness will cause veneer checks, so will
excessive heat or cold, and then the
only remedy is refinishing. However,
extreme heat is even more injurious.
The temperature of the room contain
ing a piano should be kept as normal
and as even as possible all the year
