her head and looked up at his strangely
sober face, waited.
He did not kiss her. Abruptly he
rose, Stalked across the room, picked
up his hat and moved toward the door,
Ann sat up, grinning. You don't
have to look SO tragic about it," she
said.
Bill ignored that. He said, Lee

tonight and tomorrow. If he shows
up tomorrow afternoon, keep him en-
tertained until I get here, will you?"
Ann stared, puzzled. But why
should he come here? You told him
to come to your apartment"
Bill opened the door, pointed gravely
at the small metal letter on the cross
panel:
Apartment K, the Charleston, Four
teenth street northwest. You'd bet
ter memorize that, Ann. It's your
present address and you may need it
sometime" He lifted hand in that
typically loose gesture of his: "As they
say in Sanskrit-" without a trace
Of smile-"I1l be seeing you"
For the second time that night, Ann
stared at that closed door as If she
had just suffered a severe electrical
shock.

"Bill-how are you?" Now that Lee
was no longer moving the crowd
began to press forward again.
"Where'l I see you, Bin?" The
two policemen behind Lee suddenly
put him in motion again. Let MIN

they'd never get him out alive.

girl ought to fall Tor. Better give
those brown eyes plenty OF play wnen
you meet him, Ann. You might
score direct hit"
At the apartment Ann found a note
on the table addressed to Bill. 1t was
from Mollie. Bill read it and handed
1t to Ann:
Had a call from Lady Lyol almost
before you reached the elevator.
We're leaving by auto at 4 am. ana
she wants me to come down there
and sleep. Tell Ann, Rita ran IN and
dressed and went out with Carl again.
Better warn Rita. That Runbrecker
female is hard. Expect to be back
the latter part Of the week. LOOK
after these nice children while I'm
away. ToOdle-Oo. Moll."
Well" said Bill, IF Carl and Rita
can do 1t, so can we. Get dressed"
But Ann shook her head, firmly
I'm dead, Bill. Thanks, though. Sit
down and I'll fix us cup of tea. I
need it."
When she had put the small kettle
Of water on the fire, she returned to
the living room, and dropped on the
couch.

in 1t. Why else should the simple
knowledge that she and Bill were alone
in the apartment so accelerate the
beating of her heart?
Bill was watching her, curiously. He
took turn around the room, humming
softly. Presently he halted. Don't
try to do everybody else's worrying,
Ann" he said. 1T doesn't pay"
Speaking Of platitudes," said Ann.
She dropped her. head back and closed
her eyes. "All right, grampa."
Bill took a step toward her. "And
another thing-dont sass me or I'll
give you a padding"
Eyes, grampa" She did not move,
did not open her eyes.
One long stride brought Bill to the
couch. "One more repetition of that
classic line" he began, threatingly;
but before he knew what she was doing
Ann had wiggled to one side and run
around the couch, crying, "Grampa,
grampa, grampa."
Bill vaulted the couch easily, and not
to be outdone, Ann vaulted it with as

once more. Laughing until she had
barely enough strength to run, Ann
dashed to a corner of the room and
pulled a chair between them as Bill
followed. Then, in a desperate effort
to reach the couch again, AIMS toe
caught a fold in the rug and she
sprawled.
Bill caught her up and carried her
to the couch.
Are you hurt, Ann?"
Ann didn't want to grin, but she
couldn't help it. You idiot-you've
probably broken my neck" She was
lying full length on the couch and Bill
was on one knee, leaning toward her.
She started to rise, but his hands
closed on her arms and held her.
"Bill-you're hurting!" His face

 New York, Oct. 17.-(UP)-S Stocks moved irregularly today and trad- ing frightened as the European sanctions" situation grew grave.
 Periods of strength throughout the session concentrated on special stocks and new groups. Recent leaders met considerable profit taking fro mtime to time, notably some of the motor shares. Toward the close steels were depressed or outlook for little gain in U. s. Steel Corporation earnings.
 There were many strong spots. Liquor issues presented the best group performance. Schenley fea- tured by rising to new high, at 49 3-4 up 2 1-2. Western Union touched 60 for the first time this year where 1t was up points net. United Aircraft featured strong aircraft division. Gains of a point or more were made by such issues as Borden, Clark equipment, Com mercia1 Credit Simmons company, Spiegel May Stern, Crosley Radio, and Curtis Publishing company.
 Railroad issues were depressed. New York Central broke below 22 against previous close of % 3-4. Union Pacific touched 96 up 1 3-4 and later sold off to 93 1-2.
 Westinghouse Electric reached 85 IA and then slipped back to be- low 84. Other leading industrials had similar experiences. However, late selling was not particularly heavy and some resistance devel- oped.
 During the session a long list made new highs for the year or longer. A few made new lows, not ably Alaska Juneau which was down more than a point. Silyers also slipped back with U. s. Smelling OH more than point.
 Packard was most active among motors. It touched new 1885 high at 6. Chrysler had periods of weak ness. Many traders were reportedly buying General Motors and selling Chrysler. .

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 17-(UP)- In the train shed of 8 railroad sta- ton here last night, Gov. George H. Earle signed pardon papers full filling wife's fearful plea that her convict husband be permitted to die a free man.
 The prisoner, Curtis F. Thomas of Herrisburgh, near death from tuberculosis, was expected to be released from Eastern penitentiary in Philadelphia today. He was serv- ing an l8-month sentence for breaking into a freight car.
 Mrs. Thomas told the pardon board yesterday her husbands death was but a matter of days, perhaps even hours. She begged his freedom.
 The board quickly agreed, but the papers still needed signature of Gov. Earle, who was out of the city.
 Her cheeks tear-stained, Mrs Thomas waited patiently in the governors office for his return. An attache met him at the station where Gov. Earle signed the par don.

 Harar, Ethiopia, Oct. 16.-(De- layeD -(UP)-An American medi- cal missionary hurrying from the ogden war zone to beg Emperor Halle selassie for hospital supplies, reported to-day that Italian troops are using chlorine gas and dunn dunn bullets with devastating effect against whole villages but are en- countering fanatical resistance. The missionary, Robert w. Hockman of wheaton, H., a graduate of Northwestern university of Mus kingham college at New Concord. O., said his Red Cross station at Jijiga has treated hundreds of hor- ribly mutilated victims of the out lawed dunn dunn bullet, which spreads when 1t hits, and of gas that burns the lungs and blinds every one in it's patch.
 Italian airplanes dropping bombs on villages over a huge area from Italian Somaliland almost to Ji1iga and from the British Somaliland border to the Webbe Shibeli river have sent intending lines of broken victims crawling back to Jijiga and smaller interior towns, he said. Hockman left his hospital post to seek supply of antidotes for the chlorine gas that has kept his small hospital filled fro days. Chlorine gas is the standard gas of the in- vading army, he said, but mustard gas has made occasional appear ance. Hockman estimated that the veteran and skilled fighter Ras Nasibu has more than 100000 ef- fective fighters hidden away in the canyons and jungles of the valleys up which Gen. Rondolfo Grazi- ani is driving his Italian troops. Tt may be the greatest ambush of history" Hockman said earnestly. Airplanes by scores have bombed and machinc-gunned Ethiopian ground almost two weeks and have , devastated dozens of villages but have made little advance, he said, against the guerilla bands that hide in the bush while the aviators cir- cle unalarmed overhead and then fall with savage delight upon Italian regiments.
 After two weeks of fighting, J Hockman said, the Ethiopian lead CTS are so confident that they boast they will drive Italians out of Africa --out of Sonaliland, Eritrea and Lybia. The men down at the front are supplied with everything they need except Times, lemons and fresh vegetables. N Quite few oi them have Gcurvy but Ras Nasibu has ordered citrus that should rem edy the condition" The only military supplies needed, he said

 During August

Washington, Oct. 17-(UP) - Gifts valued at more than $5,000,- 900 were made during August py Jesse Isidor Straus, nulti-milliorl- aire ambassador to France. and his brother Percy s. Straus, president of R. H. Macy & O., the securities and exchange commission disclosed today.

 No Reason Given
 No reason was cited for the huge gifts but they are believed to fall in line with similar gifts made re- gently by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and George F. Baker, presumably made in anticipation of higher gift taxes to become effective January l.
 Other important gifts by wealthy individuals during August also were shown by sec. reports today. In other security transactions, many insiders" were shown to be selling securities.
