SUSPENDED
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-21
By MARGARET RoMER

Awakening s1ddenly from a sound sleep, opened my eyes just as black angular shape slid noiselessly over the window sill and unfolded itself into the form of man. A gleam of blue steel flashed in his hand.
 Somehow I suppressed a scream, fearing that he would shoot if ] endangered him by making his presence known. My husband was enjoying the sleep of perfect ob- livion in the other bed.
 It is remarkable how clear a persons mind is at such a time, and how many ideas and memories can pass in review in few short seconds.
 I lay motionless as if asleep, but through narrow slit eyelids I half saw and half sensed the movements of the black figure.
 First he stood r11otionless ob- serving us carefully until he was satisfied our sleep had been undis- turbed by his professionally steal thy entrance His first cautious steps were in the direction of the chair across which friend hus- bands trousers lay. Knowing from my own experience he would meet with little success there, almost sighed with relief.
 Then I was seized with a pain full dread. Surely he would go next to the dresser, and there was my purse with ten dollars in it. How thankful was that had my en- gagement diamond on my finger and had not left 1t on the dresser as often did. But there was my string of real pearls, my gold pins and the ring from Tom Magnon.
 Good old Tom! He would not take that ring back when he broke off our engagement--said he wanted me to keep it always, to re- member him by. And I did It was a perfect little diamond in a most novel setting. Ten years had passed since I wore 1t on my en- gagement finger, but it was a most precious possession.
 Periodically indulged in fits of reveries, questioning myself as to whether or not I had done right in refusing Tom. He had repeatedly told me his life would be ruined without me. But didn't "ll young lovers tell their fiancees the same story? Tom was of good family, had a heart of gold and was a prince of a fellow to be with. But he was ne'er-do-well--a drifter- and, yes, I had to admit he was weakling.
 But the ring! How I'd hate to lose it! I wanted to cry out! But no, must control myself I lay tense, still watching with eyes all

If only I could get my hand on our gun! But there was no chance. It was in the bottom drawer of the dresser. had often wondered whether or not would be able to shoot if I were faced with an emergency Now, as saw the burglar slipping my treasures into his pockets, I knew I could.
 Something caught his interest. could not see what it was. But he bent over it intently, examining it as closely as he could in the dim radiance afforded by the moon. Then, one flash of light showed me that the object of his interest was the ring from Tom. No doubt he knew diamonds and the unique setting attracted him too.
 With catlike stealth, he tip-toed over to my bedside and stood gaz- ing intently down at me. I was paralyzed! A thousand emotions surged through my brain Did he fear had heard him? Would he stab me? What would he do next?
 Somehow I kept on breathing and pretending to sleep. Perhaps was too frightened to do anything else. He stood perfectly motion. ASGos anu 4CAS AAAS ea6O VII AAAV AOA what seemed long, long time, yet it was probably only minute or two.
 Then he noiselessly retraced his steps to the dresser. I breathed a little more easily now, and even dared to open my eyes little.
 Silntly he replaced my ring in the jewel box, drew my coin purse from his pocket and laid it on the dresser. Then, with almost care less haste, he returned to the win- dow by which he had entered, fo1d- ed his big frame up like a jack knife, and slid out into the night again. He hesitated a few seconds on the window sill and looked back at me The moon shone full in his face.
 Was I mad? Could it be? Yes, ti was Tom! sat bolt upright. But he slid silently over the sill and was gone.

 VERY PLEASING
Students and CO-Eds to Prepare for Another
 of Their Dances

Los Angeles.( Apri, 7--CU.P)- After 36 hours of quarantine at the Kappa Alpha Theat Sorority house on the University of California at Los Angeles campus. 26 co-eds and four male students marooned with them slicked themselves up to-day for fresh social start.
 Unfettered by university regula- ,tions, the students prepared for their second "quarantine" dance since the keep out" sign was post ed on the front door by health au- thorities, fearful of an outbreak of scarlet fever. So far. as is known, only one co-ed is i'll.
 The male students, employed ct the house as walters. bus boys and general handymen, averaged six dates apiece last night when they had their first dance in formal at- tire. The radio provided the music and the function set something of record in the number of wall fiowers' occupying chairs during each dance.
 Real music vii lbe provided at to-night's dance. An orchestra play ing at a fraternity dance next door will blare it's loudest so the music will carry through open doors and windows.
 Tho quarantine will be imposed on the sorority house until Monday at least when health authorities examine the students for signs of the disease.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, April 7-(UP)-Buyer of wool continue to hold out of the market. as evidenced by one of the q1ietest weeks the Boston wool trade has experienced for many a month.
 This is due in part to offerings of new clip woofat prices below those of comparable old wools, combined with the fact that the manufactur. CTS are fairly well covered for wool needs in the present between sea. son" era.
 Bullish factors include the fact that growers in many part of the west refuse to part with their hold- ings for less that what figures out to be higher prices than is usally considered the market. All in all. it is spotty and decidedly mixed situation. with prices soft and mighty little business passing. Un- der such conditions, prices are nominally unchanged.
