The Runaway Wife
By VERNE CONNELLY

That's beside the point. Look here,
you've seen enough of her-what have

Not a thing"
See here, Vie, I don't get your view
point. That's what I hire you for-to
analyze people, and here, in the most
important case OF my life, you go cagey.
Is it because you don't want to hurt my
feelings-is the truth worse than I can
stand?"

thing. Use your own judgment. I've
got nothing to say"
One day when Jean felt she could
not stand the strain any longer, her
suspense came to an end. The detec-
tive agency telephoned her to come to
their Offices that afternoon. Hurriedly,
she disposed of her business for the
day, and locking her desk, went out,
hoping, yet fearing.
Jim was reported as keeping deli
catessen store on West Seventy-fourth
street. She tucked the address in her
purse and went down to the street. All
the blue devils In the democracy seemed
to be playing fast and loose with her
soul. Now that she faced a meeting
with Jim, she was afraid. Suppose he
made scene, demanded that she come
back to him! She summoned courage
to hail a taxi and rode the distance,
harassed by multitude of emotions.
When she opened the door of the lit
tie store Jim sat in the rear, his chair
tilted back, smoking pipe just as when
she had last seen him. There were no
customers. Jean thanked God for that.
Jim rose slowly from his chair and
an
closer he. recognized her. He stepped
back and put his hands before his face

EASTMAN RANKED

French Fear Englishman in
4OO-Say American Has
Competed Too Much.

M tin and Jean Keller, middle
" distance runners both, appear
to be the class of the track and
field section Of the French Olympic
team
Martin, who campaigned here sew
eral years ago with some success, prob
ably will concentrate on the 400 meters
while Keller's principal objective is the
8OO-meter title.
On his arrival here Yesterday with
the the 81 other members Of the in
vading French delegation, Martin In
dicated that the man he feared most
in the metric equivalent Of the quar-
ter-mile was not Big Ben Eastman, but
the Englishman, Tom HampSon.
..THIS fellow Eastman" Martin said,
"Ah. he Is the man We must
all beat in the 400 meters, but
let me warn you, England is sending
over great quarter-miler named
Hampson. In that last 100 yards
poof he Is gone"
Hampson generally has been regard
ed as a more formidable contender at
300 meters than 400, in which George
Rampling Is English champion, but
Martin evidently believes Hampson is
more to be feared
Martin was wondering. too, whether
or not Eastman would be In shape by
the time the Olympic games open
July 80.
1T IE must be careful" the French
i i man said. He Is running too
much. We have been reading
about him in France. For four months
he races every week. That Is too much.
He may have done all his running by
the time the Olympic finals come
around
The French team, including repre-
sentatives in track and field, rowing
boxing, cycling. fencing, equestrian
weight lifting. wrestling. swimming and
yachting, will leave New York Thurs
day night for Washington and then will
