This, of course, was a fib. He escorted
Frau Mayreder with no pleasure what
ever. He wanted to be left in peace.
This stout and elderly matron got on
his nerves with her tender glances and
the faint tremor of her voice whenever
he spoke to her. Mock-turtle soup, he
thought meanwhile Beef a la mode.
Rice and fruit. During the last days
visions Of food sometimes 1oated so dis
tinctly before his eyes that he tasted
them on his tongue and swallowed them
down.
Suddenly he heard himself talking.
Apparently he was engaged In polite
and easy conversation. He felt as II

third was saying with easy flattery
"Oh. but why, dear lady? A little en-
bonpoint is much more attractive. Be-
lieve me, the men like that much better,

They were now in the avenue OF
mountain-ash that led to the Seespitz.
I believe I'm going to have an illness,
thought Martin number one. There
something wrong with me. Another
Martin gave his sound arm to Frau
Mayreder and earned his dinner by a
succession of gallant speeches.
The dinner at the Seespitz consisted
that night of Italian salad. roast beef
compete fruit tart, and cheese. The
odd thing was that Martin had no
appetite: and he felt on the way home
that re would have to throw himself
into the lake as the only means OF
ending his troubles.

talking to Herr He'll, and he is in a very
bad way. He is starving, though ne
won't admit it. He won't accept pres

beach, then you can pay him a little
extra and he can have his meals with
us. He looks the picture OF agony,

But why should 1 also suffer agony
by learning to swim? Invite him as
often as you like and leave swimming
out of it." said DR. Mayreder dejectedly
HE won't accept invitations unless
he gives lessons" she answered, and sc
Frau Mayreder's tactful and Spartan
decision won the day.
Next evening Martin went to the
Seespitz to give private lesson.

"Y don't know what's the matter but

with q woe-begone air.

said anxiously. Come and see us, DO,

Eyes, ! will Thanks, I'd like to-"
Martin said thinking of the lunch OF
i've courses-though. indeed, he felt no
actual hunger any more. His stomach
had gone as small and hard as stone.
But Frau Meyreder was so embarrassed
and Martin so shy that the invitation
was left in the air like Hindu magi-
clans rope. and nothing came OF It.
Toward evening, however, Frau May
reder went again into the town, driven
by irresistible impulse. She went to the
bathing beach.

reder wandered about the town from

rooms thick with smoke and through
vaporous windows.
Excuse me. I'm looking for my hus-

shame at her own conduct. At last she
came upon Martin in front Of the sta
ton Martin who had just had a
trunk to carry, was standing i'll front OF
a railway timetable posted on the wall.
He was staring intently at 1t in an oddly
rigid attitude perfectly motionleSs ex-
cept that he put his hand again and
again into his pocket and took furtive
and surreptitious bite of something.
Frau Mayreder had a. sudden illumtna-
ton. She knew what was the matter
with Martin. and the knowledge clutched
at her throat and tore her heart as 1t
had never been torn before.
"Ah-good evening, Herr Hell, she
said. She knew at once what had to be
done now. How nice to meet you. It's
boring in Frauensee nowadays. Will
YOU come to dinner with us tonight?

"Are you fond Of dancins?" asked
Frau Mayreder, who had walked out
with Martin onto the terrace.
"Passionately, dear lady. Are you?
Shall we turn on the gramophone?
Martin asked as amiably as his wretch
ed plight allowed.
L don't dance any more. I'm too
old" said Frau Mayreder.
"Oh, can't allow that" said Martin,
with a great effort.
mo, no. Don't ask me. I'm too old.

hoping that everything is not over. But
suddenly it is all over. We don't count
any longer. The others come to the
front, the younger generation-the
Lyssenhops -"
Martin gave a start. The name
struck him full like blow in the chest.
Frau Mayreder kept back the tears that
came into her eyes. She was very sad,
and the music from the Petermann in
creased her sadness. She felt the fool
ish exaggerated sadness of girl. But
she had decided to say something final,
and she pulled herself together and said
it.

Then, please leave me out Of them.
I want you only to tell me If you are In

Frau Mayreder sighed and looked at
Martins neck as he walked away and
vanished from sight. And then she
lowered q little coffin into her breast.
She saw this little coffin quite clearly.
1t held the last STRINGS Of passion, the
last memories and girlish thoughts Of a
woman whose youth was over.
"I think we'd better go home next

INT LOOP GOING
 EASY ON SALARY CUTS FOR PLAYERS

New York, Jan. 21-CUP)-Of- ficials of the International baseball league have virtually repudiated action of Major league clubs by re- fusing to come out point blank in favor of wage slashes.
 Warren c. Giles, president of the Rochester Red Birds, who presid- ed at the meeting yesterday, ex- plained to newspapermen that a "brazen declaration" of wholesale salary cuts would not help the general economic situation. He said International league owners plan- ned to cooperate in making con- tracts with players and not to faunt reductions before the public. For this reason, he said. The league would not admit that any salary slices were to be made.
 The International season will open April 13, 1t was announced. Opening games will be: Rochester at Jersey City, Toronto at Newark. Buffalo at Baltimore, and Montreal at Reading. The schedule will comprise 168 games, as usual.

ROBINS DRAW MUCH 1882 STOCK FROM |
 HARTFORD FARM
Mattingly, Refs, Richards Look Good for Steady Work With Brooklyn
BY LEO H. PETERSON Limited Press Stan COrreSpOndent

New York, Jan 21-A new man. ager and a likely looking group of rockies give Brooklyn fans hopes that their Robins will land a high perch On the 1892 National league ladder.
 Max Carey. the former Pittsburg and Brooklyn outfielder who was selected to succeed Wilbert Robin son as pilot of the Robins, faces a difficult task, however. in keeping the club in the first division.
 He must reorganize the entire club for the disappointing showing the team made last year furnished pretty conclusive evidence that new and younger blood was needed on the roster.
 Carey's biggest problem appears to be in building up a pitching staff. He will have heavy hitting outfield, a fair infield and average catching.
 Among Those Present
 Nine veterans and five rockies form the staff from which Carey will choose his mound corps. The veterans are Dizzy Vance, who as usual is a holdout, Fred Heimach, Austin Moore, Clyde Day. Babe Phelps, Jack Quinn, Joe Shaute and Hollis Thurston. Quinn is too old for anything but a few in- nings of relief pitching and Shaute, despite a fair showing last season. cannot be counted upon heavily. Adolph Luque, Cuban hurler, who was with the club in 1881. probably will be given his unconditional re- lease.
 The pitching rockies are Arthur Jones, purchased from Kershaw, s. C., Lawrence Mattingly, John Kri- der, Van Mungo and Phil Gallivan, all recalled from Hartford. Mungo showed up well when he poined the club last season and Is expected to win starting assignment.
 Al Lopez, Ernest Lombardi and Val Picinich form fair trio for catchers but Paul Richards, re- called from Hartford. may oust one of them. Richards is tagged as a most promising prospect.
 Lefty O'Doul and Babe Herman will form the nucleus of the out field. Carey is looking around for a centerfelder who bats right handed. Johnny Frederick played center last year but fell off in his hitting and With three left handed batsmen in the other gardens, the Robins looked woefully weak against southpaw pitchers. Murray Howell, Robert Parham and Albert Cohen, all of whom were recalled from Hartford, are the best of the outfield rockies. Howell is the only right handed batter in the group.
 Knew Their Stuff
 The infleld probably will be com posed of Del Bisonette at first, Neal Finn at second, Wally Gilbert al third and Glen Wright at short. If the latter has recovered from his ankle injury. the Robins may make plenty of trouble for the other National league clubs. The old saying in Flatbush. "when Wright fs right, 50 are the Robins" has rung pretty true.
 Gordon Shade, short; Frescc Thompson, second. and Jack War. ner, third, are other veteran in. flelders. Bobby Refs. third basemar who came to the club from Hart. ford late last season, is the best of the rookie prospects.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-21

Briefly the facts are:
 The National Boxing Associatino Is through with Max Schmeling and within 10 days will take his name off its list. of champions. The N. B. A.. then will conduct a tour nament to select a new champion.
 Title Bout Brewing
 Negotiations are proceeding in New York for a match between Schmeling and Jack Sharkey with the winner to be recognized as champion.
 Thus the N. B. A. and the New York commission each will have its champion.
 Already Mickey Walker has claimed the title, because Schmel- ing withdrew from a match with him at Miami, Fla. Jack Kearns, Walkers manager, was due here to-day to appear before General John V. Cllnnin, president of the N. B. A., to formally claim the championship. ..
 "Titles are won in the ring" said Clinnin when advised of Kearns' intention. Mickey will nave 10 HBHL tHc olheE iCouhho contenders in a tournament"
 The Inst Hurdle
 When Jack Dempsey completes his second exhibition tour in April and announces his plans, the whole heavyweight situation may be clarified. Any real champion will have to beat Dempsey.
 Joe Jacobs, Schmelings man ager, obviously is worried about the N. B. As action toward vacat- ing the Germans title. He called Che Clinnin long distance and asked if Schmeling signed to meet Sharkey in June whether the N. B. A. would continue to recog- nize the German as champion.
 Poor Joe
 well have a new champion by June," Gen Clinnin told Jacobs.
 II don't think the N. B. A. IS treating Max and me right" said Jacobs.
 ''The N. B. A. has been very lenient with Schmeling, Mir Ja- cobs," replied Gen Clinnin, but he has shown no inclination to even want to fight. We can't toler- ate that attitude"
