to her"
A little reluctantly she
threw the car into gear, and
again skirting the town, drove
down the dusty road into the
Mexican Quarter, stopping at
last before the sunny, well
kept garden where Lolita lived.
There among the early flow
erS a child was playing, and
looking up to see those two
descending from the car, he
smiled in eager welcome, and
rising to his feet, ran uncer-
tainly toward them.
Instructive Fear
Questioningly Lowell'S eyes
raised to Nora'S, and in mute
answer she nodded, her own
eyes wet. Then clumsily, but
with curious tenderness, Solon
Lowell reached down and
raised the boy in his arms.
His voice trembled.
"Poor little devil" Nora
heard his murmured words,
and through a mist Of tears
she saw the old man stoop and
lay a wrinkled cheek against
the dark, soft face Of this
child, in whose veins ran the
same blood as his own.
Tightly, hungrily, he clasped
the boy. then at the sound Of
a door opening he raised his
face to see a girl standing
there. At sight Of them she
stopped, half afraid, and still
holding the child in his arms,
Lowell turned toward her.
IT have come to see you and
talk to you," he said gently.
II am Solon Lowell"
With quick, instructive fear,
she made a step forward, as If
to snatch the child from his
arms.
But reading that unspoken
apprehension in her face, he
added. do not be afraid. I
have come to help you if I can.
This boy. He is yours?"
"Si." Very low, the voice re-
piled in the lisping Spanish
Of the border.
The man hesitated. "And his
father is-my son?"
To Nora it was as if an
eternity had passed before the
girl answered. In dull anguish
she felt her nails cutting into
the palms of her hands, then
once more, scarcely loud
enough to be audible, Lolita
answered, Isl"
Heartbrokenly Nora turned
aside. She wanted to be gone,
to be alone. It was as if in
that despairing moment the
very desert had become hateful
with all its flood of thronging,
.surging, lifelong memories that
she wanted to blot out but
could not. Motionless she stood,
her eyes fixed on the ground,
not daring to raise them, no
longer able to endure the deep,
understanding sympathy in the
old mans gaze. And once
again, as if from very far away
she heard his voice.
Understanding
"You love Dick, Lolita?"
For a moment the girl stood,
perplexed, then rapidly shaking
her head she answered, But
it was not Dick, Senor. It was
Bruce. Oh, I thought you knew
1t was Bruce"
"Bruce!" Amazement and q
dawning understanding mingled
in the mans voice.
"But surely. Look" On q thin
gold chain about her neck she
drew from beneath the loose
blouse a small gold ring. Very
proudly she held it, gliStening
in the sunlight.
"Three years ago, Senior, we
were married at the church in
Mexico. He did not dare that
you should know, fearing that
in your anger you might
separate us. So it was to be a

View of New Jersey

TRENTON. N. j., Dec. 6 U.N.SO
Ellis H. Parker, famous chief of
detectives of Burlington county,

Bruno Richard Hauptmann did
not kidnap or murder Baby Lind

The Governor disclosed that
Parker has been working secretly
on the case for a long time, be-
ginning his investigation at the
request of United States Senator

Reiterating a previous denial
that he had asked Parker to

Governor Moore wrote to Mr.

himself in the case. Parker has

PEIPING, Dec. 6.-Troops Of
Gen. Shang Chen, governor of
Hopei Province, were reported to-
day to be moving towards the de-
militarized zone in Eastern Hopei
where Commissioner Yin Ju-Keng
set up an autonomous state.
Twelve Japanese airplanes, nine
reconnaissance ships and three
big bombers flew over Peiping to-
day-the third day such a demon
stration was held-and Col. Tan
Takahashi, Japanese military at
tache, said they were probably"
investigating the reported activi-
ties of Shang's army.
Neutral observers expressed the
fear that any trouble in the de-
militarized zone would be made a
pretext for new Japanese pressure,
calling for an autonomy covering
all the five northern Chinese prov
inceS.
Stretched on the ground outside
TakahaShi's office was a huge
japanese emblem directing the
pilots of the planes to drop mes
sages at the headquarters of the

Senator Norris, veteran Ne
braska Progressive, announced
definitely today he would not seek
denomination to the Senate but
would devote his time next year to
campaigning for President Roose-
velt's reelection.
He made this announcement in
a written statement:
II believe President Roosevelt
deserves reelection and I expect
to support him actively, regardless
of party consideration. 1 can per-
form this duty more effectively if
1 am not the candidate for Sena-
tor of any political party.
Il will therefore not seek re-
nomination and will not be
candidate in the primary"
Norris definitely closed the door
to his seeking the Republican
nomination. He left the door
open, however, to the movement
of his friends to place his name
on the Nebraska election ballot
through petitions as an indie
pendent candidate for the Senate.
Such movement is now
planned by his friends in that
State.
Asked concerning this move
ment Norris replied he had re-
ceived no information about it at
all.
Under Nebraska law, it was
learned, the name of a candidate
may be placed on a ballot for the
election through circulation Of
petitions. This can be done even
after the regular parties have
held their primaries and have
chosen their candidates.
