on the empty ship.
1t wasn't empty, really, for there were eight
passengers, the white officers, and Filipino
crew. but it gave the feeling of being so. of a
long, low-lying hulk, lethargic and ponderous
and empty on the empty sea. Mrs. Wyckoff
felt theatrical poignancy in the velvet dark
ness and thought of fulfilled wishes as ash in
the mouth.
1t had been so with this trip, this caprice
of woman of her income and standing
travelling by freighter from the west coast to
the east. Her contract for doing the dialogue
OF picture in Hollywood had ended. leaving
her full month before it was necessary to be
IN New York for the rehearsals of new play,
and then had come that sultry dinner in AL
Levys Tavern when. after the third old
fashioned, she had said to Ralph that it might
be fun to 60 east by freighter. 1t would give
her a new background. new material for
future work. She had studied the moulded
rams heads on the wall and had suggested
that he come too - with her.
Ralph dropped his cigarette into the white
foam and she knew that he was looking at her.
even though he didn't turn his head; neither
of them did anything towards breaking the
detestable silence, for just mental picture
of him, his lips moving close to Edna, was
enough to dry up any words she might have
forced herself to speak. Mrs. Wyckoff re-
assured herself that she had done lot for
him. launched him with the crowd, forced

placidity of the Panama Canal
- and Mrs. Wyckoff leaned her back
against the iron railing Of the forepeak and
speculatively watched the swift transition
between day and night in the tropical sky.
There would be no moon. The deck outside
the port cabins would be deserted and in
darkness by two. Mrs. Wyckoff decided to
Kill the woman there at two.
She had stopped thinking of Edna Harris
as a person since that hot afternoon off San
Salvador when she had gone up the ladder
onto the bgidge-deck and had found Edna
and Ralph Carson in an embrace that Cap
tain Demon had remarked was hardly
platonic."
Mrs. Wyckof had smiled pleasantly. had
said to them. $50 sorry." and had moved to
the other side where, with the captains
quarters between them. she had lain against
the unyielding Stats of deck chair and
thought how convenient it would be if Edna
Harris should suddenly be dead.
Crushed pink and pistachio green were
dying in shafts in the darkening sky; coming
towards her was Ralph's easy figure. She sue

had reached her and she smiled very brightly
when he was quite close. looking tall and fiat
in dark oordroys with blue polo shirt wide
open at the throat. After moment during
which he too lighted cigarette, he pointed
towards the last of the pistachio shafts and
said: That's nice cloud"
Isn't it?''
He turned and leaned strong forearms on
the iron railing. then studied the white foam

knew, for ten minutes, this deadly silence;
then she would say something bright about

professor and the architects son would play
bridge until midnight while Ralph, relieved of

literary position and of her money whereas
with the Ednas he could loosen up and be
somebody himself
Have one" he said.
Thanks"
Ralph snapped match and held it cupped
against the wind, the flame burning his hand
as she lighted her cigarette, then he lit his
own; neither said anything about the hand.
even though few weeks ago she would have
fused about it, and he would have expected it.
She had opened up such new worlds for him,
smart women, intelligent women wellknown
stars. That was what Mrs. Wyckof as
palliative to stabbed pride nmsed increasing
hatred on - the fact that having had such
right and consequential people handed to him,
he should so easily slump back again to what
she thought of as hot little tramps.
Ralph was getting dim in the nights swift
darkness. Mrs. Wyckof threw away her
cigarette and said: well. on with the nightly
battle. They must be waiting for me by now"
She could feel him staring after her, his
back against the iron railing; the wind was
cold as she went down by the deck house, then
up the ladder to the bridge deck She looked
from it and saw Ralph's head and shoulders
in dark miniature. Then she stood for long
moment looking intently down towards the
portside cabins and wondered whether she
would have the strength to lower Edna's body
with sufficient ease and quietness over the side.
Captain Demons contract consisted in
mixture of sound whist and poker, and he
played with gusty elan. Mrs. Wyckof liked
to have him as a partner. and after three
weeks they had come to understand each

rum. in which she did not join them. She
wanted to be quite sure of herself when the
moment came to knock on Edna's door,
The radio was going in disoordant blasts.
She bid small slam in spades and made it
and endured the vigorous congratulations of
her partner whose triumphant voice ripped
farthest aft. and the Yale professor turned off
the radio and started whistling 'The Carioca"
off key.
Evening star., 1935-03-17

At midnight they stopped and, after Cap
tain Demon had enjoyed his nightly Jest of
locking the score sheet in the safe, Mrs.
Wyckoff went below to the door of her cabin
Ralph's cabin was next to hers and both of
them opened on passage next to the saloon.
Ralph was waiting, as he always waited, and
said: us there anything you want?"
mo, nothing, thanks. Good night"
She went inside and closed her cabin door.
The hour was one of doubtful privacy. People
were still in the saloon and their voices came
in loudly through an opened transom that
could not be closed. She drew the curtains
over the rooms two portfolios and stood by
the wash basin. gripping its edges tightly and
shutting her eyes. The whistled Carioca drew
near, entered the saloon, stayed, monotonous
as the straining Creak of the ship and the
steady sound of wind in rigging /
Mrs. Wyckof washed her face and the tepid
water felt icy on her blazing skin. She then
remade it. very carefully, and looked ten
years younger than her age and very smart,
without the careless blowsy youth of Edna
She sat on the settee. after turning out the
lights and methodically went over her plan.
If Edna's door were locked, she would
knock softly, or else call in softly through the
opened port Both were directly on the narrow
deck. 1t was odd that Ralph himself should
have suggested to her the weapon, during a
general discussion about weapons at tea time
last week. He had claimed that nothing was
so effective as black Jack made from putting
a cake of soap in the toe of sock. 1t left no
mark.
There were so many sides to Ralphs past
that even she had never plumbed, this
criminal knowledge. for example. about the
technique of crime. She wondered, and it was
the first time that she had done so, whether
he had record. He didn't look like criminal
or as if he had ever been one and there should
be, she thought some identifying mark, like
the mark of Cain. In panic she turned on the
lights and looked into the mirror Her face
was quite clear but would there be some
mark, some expression upon it, after two.
She would make Edna come out onto the
narrow deck, where quiet voices would be lost
in the noise of sea and wind. She would tell
Edna that Ralph was i'll and that they would
have to d. something about it. The excuse
was inconsequential. Then she would direct
Edna's attention to some fancied object over
the rail and, while Edna's head was turned.
swing down with the weapon. catching
Edna's body while it would still be balanced,
and not let it slump onto the deck. Mrs.
Wyckoff knew from many nights of observa-
ton that no one ever passed along that deck
and also that. because of its ceiling, it was
masked from the bridge Even if the body
were to splash little, its sound would be
either disregarded or not heard at ALL Quite
quickly it would be swirled aft and left behind
to sink at leisure in the sea.
She undressed, put on heavy silk dark
wrapper, and turned down the lower bunk.

HEMPH|LL ASKS
SCRAPP|NG.OF
BANK RULE
BY Universal Service

Striking at the heart of the Ad.
ministration's banking bill, the
American Bankers Assoc alton
yesterday demanded it be purged
of provisions for centralized bank
control.
The demands were contained in
a letter to Chairman Steagall Of
the House Banking and Currency
Committee, and incorporated in
the record after the committee
had heard testimony of Robert H.
Hemphill, financial authority, rep
resenting the national monetary
conference.
Scrap Federal System
Mr.. Hemphiu urged the Federal
Reserve and National Banking
System be scrapped, the U. S.
Treasury be made the depository
of all Government funds, and in
dependent banks be placed under
exclusive State control.
The ABA Endorsed the first and
third sections Of the act, but in
sisted the controversial second sec.

/. To strip the Secretary of the
Treasury and Comptroller of Cur.

of one, to preserve IN eir indie

Demands More Cash
Mr.. Hemphill demanded an eX-
panded supply of currency from
the $3.50 per capita figure to $3.50.
He said lack of money and
banker control of the Treasury
are responsible for the wild cat
booms and subsequent depressions
of the past"
