Oh, 1t was impossibly cruel that
he should have been free at the
very hour she was saying the words
that bound her for life.
The newspaper dropped from FL

The nightmare went on and on.
Presently Steven returned to the
room and she heard herself talk
ing to him. She was scarcely con-
scious Of what she was saying.
She understood that Larry must
have gone to the apartment two
nights before to tell her he was
free. Her mother must have sent
him away.

She followed him to the inclosed
veranda, where supper had been
laid for two. She acknowledged
the introduction to Fergus, the only
servant on the place. and thought
vaguely that she disliked him.
The butler moved about, saying
madame" this and madame" that,
until she could have screamed with
the reiteration of the fact that she
was Stevens wife.
Wild, impossible fancies assailed
her. She thought of throwing her.

to let her go. No. She could not
do that.
TN time she would forget. She
L must forget. She was Stevens
wife now. Only this morning she
had promised to cleave unto him
through sickness and health,
through poverty and riches. There
was no escape from those solemn
VOWS
She heard whispering tree
branches against the window panes,
the tapping of invisible water, the
sleepy, occasional chirp of a nest

Outside we're firefies drifting to

blackness Of a perfect night. Inside
the table cleaned with candlelight
shining on fine old silver and china
and touching the purple of hot
house grapes.
Across the table Steven smiled at
her. so proud and confident, so Sc

She must try to remember, she
thought sardonically, that if her
own heart broke it broke amid
pleasant surroundings. This was

When they were inside it was not

the breath away.
DO you like the place, Ellen?"
Steven asked softly.
"Oh-so much!"
MY darling, darling wife" he
whispered.
There was something in the
husky, whispered voice that filled
her heart with panic. Not now
not now! Not until she had a little

Steven must have read her face.
When he was beside her, he put an
arm about her shoulder and led
her to place by the fire. She
heard him speaking.

With that he was gone. Ellen

TWO CAPITAL GIRLS
SHOT IN ROBBER|ES
Four Bandits Steal Two Cars
and $50 in HoId-ups in
Washington Vicinity.

Stimulating tactics such as terrorized
the residents Of st. Marys County dur
ing the past week, quartet of armed
bandits shot two Washington girls,
stole two automobiles, and obtained
about $50 in cash in three hold-ups in
northeast Washington and nearby
Maryland last night.
Mary Vacarro, 18 years old, first
block of v street, Washington. was
shot in the ankle, and Rose Vacarro,
also 18, of the 400 block of Eleventh
street southwest, her cousin, was shot
in the leg
They we're both struck by the same
bullet which was fired, police say, at
the ground as the bandits were de-
parting, after holding up the two girls
and their male companions on the De-
fense Highway at Vista. Md.
James P. Vincent, %, sailor at
tached to the U. S. S. Cormorant, was
robbed of S13, and Albert c. Pettingill,
sailor on the submarine Rs driver of
the car, was relieved of So Miss Mae
Hyman, 18, of the 300 block of E street,
was also in the car at the time of the
hold-up, police reported
County Policeman Ralph Brown, who
rushed the wounded girls to Sibley Hos
pital, and directed the police search for
the bandits, said the quartet of high
waymen were shabbily dressed and wore
masks. He does not believe they have
any connection with the BLACK shirt
gang of st. Marys County, theory ad-
vanced by State police.
Chagrined at the small amount of
money they found on Vincent and Pet
tingill, one Of the bandits remarked,
You're a bunch of cheap skates and
fired the shot in disguest, according to
Officer Brown.
The quartet, said to consist of three
white men and one colored man, is be-
lieved to be the same gang which earlier
in the evening robbed Thomas Fowler
of Ritchie, Md, of $35 and his automo-
bile in Anacostia Park. Mr. Fowler is a
brother of Lieut. John H. Fowler, ballis-
tics expert of the Police Department.
A short time later the bandits held up
Mrs. Deborah E. Lawson, 43, of the
3400 block of Twenty-fourth street
northeast and took her automobile
and 50, abandoning the car they had
stolen from Fowler. This hold-up oc-

After the Vista robbery the bandits

Meeting Informed of Drastic
Increase in Need of
Welfare Work.
PLANS FOR 1888 DRIVE
OUTLINED BY LEADERS
Larger Contributions From Middle
Bracket of Givers Is Declared
Necessary.

The drastic increase in the need of
welfare work during the Winter and
means of enlarging contributions to the
Community Chest were discussed yes
terday at the last of four meetings to
familiarize members of the Speakers
Institute of the Chest with facts for
use in the coming campaign.
Outlining plans for the 1888 drive at
the meeting, held in the Willard Hotel,
Newbold Noyes, campaign chairman
and ElWood Street, director of the Com
muity Chest, told of the steps which
must be taken if the Chest is to an
swer the many calls for help next year
New Plan Explained.
Mr.. Noyes explained the new plan for
solicitation whereby contributors will be
asked to give so much per day for the
welfare of the city. He said any in
cerase in funds would have to come
from the middle bracket of givers, those
who ordinarily contribute from $25 to
500. The wealthy are giving to the
utmost of their ability and the poorer
working classes are also doing their
best. but the class in between could and
should give more, he said.
Mr.. NoyeS said the increase in need
for charity work would come to some
extent this year from those who last
year were able to contribute in small
amounts to the Chest. This class of
relief, he pointed out, must be given by
experienced social workers who while
aiding family of this class, can do SO
in tactful manner without injuring
the morale of those aided. This type
OF charity work is necessary, he said if
the city is not to have an army of
pauperlzed citizens when the depression
is over
The speaker also called attention to
the necessity of maintaining character
building organizations for the protection
OF youth and the renewal of courage,
faith and stability.
Assumes Wartime Aspect.
Mr.. Street said the coming campaign
Is taking on a wartime aspect, except
that the city is facing the combined
forces of poverty, disease and crime,
augmented by the depression, instead of
an armed, human foe. Reports from
the various agencies, he added, clearly
indicate the growing need for relief
work
Joseph D. kaufman, chairman of the
publicity unit addressed the meeting at
the request of Mrs. John Jay O'Connor,
who presided. He announced that the
slogan for the campaign this year was
adopted from the Lords prayer: Give
Us This Day Our Daily Bread" 1t was
a slogan, he added, about which every
race and creed can rally.

Janitor Traps Self
On Window Ledge
High Above Street
Fire Truck Required to
Rescue Worker From
Sixth-FlOOr Perch.

Like the man who cut off the limb
upon which he was sitting, Wilford
Holman, colored, assistant janitor at
the Marne Apartments, 24O0 Thirteenth
street, embarrassed himself yesterday by
shutting himself out ON an 8-inch ledge
six floors above the street. He re-
manned there an hour before he was
rescued.
Holman was trying to take down an
awning. Unable to remove it from the
inside, he eased out on the ledge, and
by wiggling his body around, managed
to close the window and get the avn
ing loose Then he found he couldn't
get the window open.
Finally cries attracted hundreds of
persons witnessing the Western Central
foot ball game. The rescue squad was
called to get the imprisoned man down
before he fell from the ledge. But the
squads ladder was too short and a
fire truck from No. station had to be
called to furnish a longer one. BY the
time the firemen reached him Holman
was two frightened to try to descend
and his rescuers had tohhold him by
the ankles to steady him until they
reached the ground.

former seriously.
Stephen G. Chasko, %, the student,

a severe injury to the spine, received
when the automobile in which he was
riding and another car collided at
Third street and Virginia avenue south

he always has escaped uninjured,
though plane after plane has been
wrecked around him.
He Joined the famous Caterpillar Club
early in the morning of March 25, 1890,
when he and Dick Merrill, flying miles
apart, were "pinched off" by one of the
most unexpected fog banks in the his
tory of the line. Treat, fighting to
get out of the fog belt before his fuel
was exhausted, was forced to jump,
landing safely on the battlefield of

breadth escape. landed at Appomattox
Court House, Va.
Almost exactly a year later. Treat
became seconddegree Caterpillar
when his plane crusted over with ice,
which put all of his instruments out

Treat stuck to his plane until it went

Three years ago his motor virtually
exploded over the Potomac River just
after he had left Washington. He
headed for the mud fats on the Mary
land shore across from Alexandria, Va.
released two parachute flares, turned
on his landing lights, and was setting
the plane down nicely when an iron
fence loomed out of the darkness.
He pulled up into a stall, crumpling
the tail of the plane in back of his
seat, plowed through the fence and
tore off wings and landing gear. He
unfastened his safety belt and climbed
unscratched out of an almost totally
demolished plane.
Only a little while before he was
caught in a fog with balky motor be-
tween Baltimore and Washington. He
found an opening near Glenburnie,
Md. and let go two flares. The flares
started grass fires in the field which
offered the only possible landing place
He coolly selected a landing area be-
tween the fires and dragged his mail
out to safety.
The life of Verne E. Treat, night
mail pilot, has been one crowded with
danger and eventful beyond the lives of
most men. Now he is hoping that in
