THE LOBSTER POTS.

"It doesn't matter-whatever you like.'
 A giant wave slapped agaings the boat and cascaded over them. Dan looked up, startled out of his anger. Black clouds pressed down upon them. Dan tossed his oilskin to the girl and l1astened to fasten a huge canvas cover over them to help keep from swamping. Contrary to all fisherman's lore, the storm was beating in against the tide. The sky was terrifying.
 Dan could feel Hedwig's wet body trembling against him. He let the steering wheel slip from control an instant and kissed her fiercely on her salt incrusted lips.
 Roughly he told her, That will show you that you can't expect men to respect--a thief"
 She did not answer. And with all his hate and love and disillu- sionment, he clung to her, as the sky tore itself apart with fury and the sea. opened up before them.
 Opening the door of the Cott Club, Bill Hinckle leaned out to smell the freshness of the morning after the storm. Lobster pot oWn- CTS, who had taken shelter in the shack during the downpour, listen

nocence, he shouted, "Ill catch him! I'll show you it wasn't me-! I'll ram him down your throats!"
 He flung out of the shock.
 The tide was running strong as Dams boat chugged past the Coot Club in the darkness, the third night of his vigil. A dim light gleamed in the Coot. Club shack.
 Half an hour later his anchor plunked into choppy waters off the point. He crouched down in the bottom of his boat to wait for the lobster thief. The night seemed endless. The smell of distant thun- der was in his nostrils. The tide would be turning soon after day. break, bringing the storm in with it.
 The creak of oars reused him to panic and listening.
 The unknown rover had pulled in his oars again.
 Just in case it was the thief Dan slid off his shoes, oilskins and trousers noiselessly. It was good he had worn his bathing suit. May be he could swim up on the fellow quietly. He raised his head stealthily.
 He couldn't believe his happiness. The lobster thief was forgotten. Standing up in a wave-tossed row. boat, was slender. sun-bronzed girl in a bathing suit, her blonde

explained in rapid, matter of fact manner, s"The doctor said wasn't to worry father. He was so sick"
 Dan half rose to stop her, but she rushed on with her confession. T Hast month, a notice came say- ing they would sell our house for taxes unless we paid the tax bill. I didn't dare show 1t to my father" she said. ''I was out rowing one day to try and forget things and came on the lobster pots.s
 Why didn't you borrow from your rich friends?" Herb sneered.
 1T did ask them,'' she admitted reluctantly. They were all awfully and one of the girls did give me an evening dress.
 A four-pound lobster shuffled across the floor, but no one looked at him with pride. "Could-could you divide these Holsters and arrest me for the rest ?" Hedwig suggested, looking from one wooden or resentful face to another. II know money would n't make up for what I've done, even if I had money enough to give"
 There was an uneasy silence as if every man were thinking of the times he'd pulled his pots, empty. No one wanted to make the first move to call the sheriff. The cul- prit was there among them,S but her punishment embarrassed them.
 At last, Bill, Hinckel spoke in his tolerant voice, "Once when was a kid, stole ten watermelons. I wanted money for a motorcycle"
 His remark fell fiat. Then, slowly, old Griffith brightened.
 Yep" chirped the old fellow. "Member when the penny coun- terfeiters was making bad pennies out past the railroad bridge? I passed em for them. I thought was Dirty Dick the Highwayman."
 Then and then only, tears filled Hedwigs eyes, tears that the fel- lows pretended not to see. One by one they departed. At last, the peace and tacit fellowship of the Coot Club had been restored. Each took his share of the Holsters, making remarks about their size or fierceness, just as if he had pulled them himself.
 "I can sign a note for you at the bank to take care of the taxes," Dan suggested shyly when he ard Hedwig were alone. And if youd help me, could get fancy price for those plants that only grow for you"
 You'll have to teach me book keeping," she insisted.
 "No, Hedwig, you'll just have to grow the flowers" he answered, repeating "Hedwig" over again in sheer joy at saying her name with out the Miss at last

 Holsters could go free"
 "No," she said gravely. She was caught all right, but she wasn't going to tell him why she did it.
 Six foot two though he was, and twenty-two his last birthday, he wanted to bawl like kid. He steered clumsily over to his own boat.
 "Get in, please.'' he ordered when they were alongside. Without murmur, she sprang into his boat. She made no com ment when he tied up her boat to tow in behind them-her boat with its damning lobster catch. T suppose you thought it was a lark" he demanded roughly. She made a futil little gesture with her hands as if it were hope less to explain.
 , You rich folk think you can get away with anything. I suppose you didn't know or care that poor old
 Griffith rows six miles back and forth for the pleaseure of finding his pots empty"
 T didn't think it was lark" she brought out.
 Her head was dropping now be- fore him. Until. then, he had not
 realized how much he had loved the proud tilt of her lovely head.
 What did you do it for them" he shouted without getting a reply.
 "Do you know what I am going to do to your" he threatened.

 As quietly as if he were catch ing the lobster theft, he slid over board to swim and join her.
 With a vague uneasiness, he mo- ticed that her rowing seemed to have an obpect. She was pausing now before lobster pot marker. No marker had her name, he knew. Enthusiastically, she was pulling up the ropes. hauling the unwieldy contraption into her boat!
 He started to shout a warning to her, but a wave splashed down his throat. When, his eyes cleared again he saw her slender hand reaching down cautiously into the net. He hurtled himself forward.
 The lobster pot slipped from her grasp and clumped into. the water. Unheeded, the rope slipped after it. The marker followed with a it. The marker followed with a splash. Hedwig faced Dan, rigid and guilty, a huge lobster waving his claws wickedly as she held him in her frozen hand.
 There was no greeting between him and Hedwig. They stared at each other with mutual horror. On

 The noise of motor boat stopped at the landing. They crowded around the dripping door, way and peered out curiously. To their amazement, they saw Dan Lyons and the Lawrence girl com ing up from the landing. Both were drenched and weary Dan carried a heavy sack.
 The men fell back to let Dan and the girl enter. They stood around while Dan opened his bag. spilling out a crawling host of Holsters on the floor.
 "So it was you who took our lobsters," old Griffith snapped at Dan like some snarling litle dog.
 No, it was ghost" Dan joked wearily, too tired to expose He'd wig now. It hardly seemed inn portant.

 A dozen voices cried out. The rum runner advanced on Dan threateningly. Old Griffith shook his fist under Dams nose. Words growing babble of accusations and threats.
 CULPRIT CAUGHT, BUT WHAT TO DO?.
 You'd better get out of here, Miss Lawrence" Bill Hinckle told the girl.
 "No,' she said. She pushed right into the thick of the row. Their rising voices hushed
 T pulled your pots," she told them. Dan was bringing me in to you."
 "Once maybe" Herb was unwill- ing to forego the violence he was about to wreak on Dan.

Arthur Misunas, former member
Of the T'ri-State gang who turned
States evidence to save himself
from the electric chair, will be
brought here from Richmond to
testify at the trial of John slim"
Dunn, alleged member of the

Misunas is awaiting sentence,

to prevent any attempt by Robert
Mais and Walter Legenza to
"bump him off," as they have
sworn to do.
It was Misunas' testimony which
resulted in Mais and Legenza be-
ing sentenced to the electric
chair. They staged a. sensational
jail break after the sentence, kill
ing one guard and wounding
several others.
Dunn, who was questioned in

The World of Music
Metropolitan Quartet Rouses Capital Audi,
ence to Enthusiasm With Splendid
Program Here

A succession Of thrills, and un-
doubtedly the most triumphant
concert Of the season was that
presented by the Metropolitan
Quartet in Constitution Hall yes
terday afternoon.
Again Constitution Hall proved
too small to take care of musical
Washington that came to hear
these four really great singers.
Every seat was filled, and some
200 more were packed on the
stage.
1t was easily the most enthusi-
aStic audience. of the season.
and not without reason. For the
entire program was a series of
climaxes. 1t hardly seems posi-
BILE that music so we'll known as
that presented should be so thrill
ing, but with these four operatic
stars the audience went simply
wild in its enthusiasm.
The highlight of the afternoon?
It would be impossible to say.
Some, perhaps, would accord the
honor to the beautiful blonde
Grace Moore as she sang that
marvellous aria from Nine. But
terfly."
Others might accord the palm
to the brunette Rose hampton for
her rendition of the aria from
lie Prophetic" one of the finest
things ever written for the con-
tralto voice.
Then, too. there was the blend,
ing of these two great voices in
that love duet without peer, the
"Barcarolle" from the "Tales Of
Hoffman" certainly one of the
finest renditions ever given Of
this.
For those who care for the
more robust music there were the
splendid prologue from I'll Pag-
liacci," and the ever-popular
toreador song from Carmen" "
sung as solo by Richard Bonelli,
an outstanding baritone.
If there is to be one regret
about the entire program, it was
in the selections given by Edward
johnson, an excellent tenor.
For his solo he gave the aria
from Louise a number not par
ticularly well known and not a
composition of great fire. Then
for an encore, he gave the Eight
eenth Century setting of the
"Masque of Comus," a pretty thing
but not of the highest caliber.
With so many things to be sung
by the tenor voice, it seemed a
pity there was not a better selec-
ton. Mr.. johnson sang these
well, however, and made up in the
splendid duet with Bonelli from
Carmen" and in the delightful
love scene with Miss Moore from
Romeo and Juliet"
The four voices blended in mag
nificent fashion in the garden
scene from Faust"
Miss Moore's first solo was that
sparkling Gavotte from "Manon," !"
music that might we'll have been
written for her, so we'll did she
fit the part, and never has an
artist been given such an ovation
as greeted her last note, in that
clear bell-like voice.
1t was a long program, and
late in starting, but the huge audi.
ence sat with no thought of time
nor food. It was after 7 when
the quartet took their final bow,
but the audience would gladly
