She stopped in her climb upward.
Several rungs were missing in her

three weeks.
She returned to Mrs. Martin and

When she reached New York, Mrs.
Martin loaned her enough money to
pay the hotel bill in Indiana. She sent
a certified check.
To her intense joy, her check was

In her tenth year on the stage she

She heard first a wild shout; then a
terrific crash; then silence. She walked
casually out of the hotel to the end of

Above him was the broken rope; near
him was the battered suitcase - it

one which she had worn so often

"A Policeman's Lot Is Not Happy

lCarclynne Snowden, the Georgia

BY a tragic coincidence, Astrid met
her death in the country in which
she and Leopold were vacationing

SWEDEN STUNNED
BY ASTR|D DEATH
PopuIace Weeps Openly on
Streets Over Passing OF
Beloved Princess.
By ths Associated Press.


STOCKHOLM. August 29.-Citi-
zens of Stockholm wept openly in the
streets of the capital today as they
learned of the death of their beloved
Astrid in an automobile accident near
Lucerne.
The Belgian Queen had the undis-
puted reputation in this, her native
land, as the most beloved of Swedish
princesses.
No single event in years has SO
stunned Sweden.
Men and women wept unashamed
tears as they read first accounts of
the death in hurriedly prepared news
paper extras.
Parents Under Doctors Care.
Astrid's aging parents, Prince Karl
and Princess Ingelborg, were reported
under a doctors care, with the mother
Frustrated.
Other members of the Swedish royal
family were hurriedly summoned.
Business in Stockholm was momen-
tarily halted as word Of the accident
first spread about. Workmen dropped
their tools to read the newspaper ac-
counts. Many openly declared that
Astrid's marriage to Leopold was the
most perfect love match in the history
Of Swedish royalty.
Many anecdotes were retold. One
of the favorite stories was that OF
Leopold and Astrid Strolling together
with other couples in a Stockholm
park in the evening hours.
No princess had more democratic
training than Astrid. Her education,
a classical one, included course IN
housekeeping and cooking.
Young Princess Served Tea.
Many visitors to Prince Karl's home
In days gone by had tea served by
the young princess.
The fact that Sweden so clearly
remembers the Queen Astrid who at
tended Ingrid's wedding made today's
news seem more difficult to accept.
During that visit Stockholm crowds
assembled repeatedly before the royal
palace to insist upon seeing her alone.
News of her death also shocked
Norway and Denmark, where flags
were Immediately ordered at half f-staf1.

change as testimony of sympathy.

pointed to consider closing the ex-
change as testimony of sympathy.
Absence Not Widely Known.
Thousands of their subjects did not
know the royal couple was away from
the capital. Earlier in the week they
had met President Lebrun of France
on his incognito visit to Brussels
and had lunch with him at the French
Embassy.
1t was expected that one of the cab
inet's actions would be the proclama-
ton of q national period of mourning,
perhaps for six months.
The Queens death found none OF
the royal family in Belgium. Besides
the three royal children who were with
the King and Queen in Switzerland,
Prince Charles, Leopold's youngest
brother, was away on holiday. Govern
ment officials made urgent attempts TO
reach him.
Brussels world exhibition, which
was the place of joyous scenes Of
entertainment for the thousands who
visited it throughout the Summer,
assumed q funereal touch when the
news of Astrid's tragic end arrived.
Exhibition officials debated closing
the huge fair for day or two.
Throughout the nation, the Belgian
flag was lowered to half staff. A flood
of kilograms and cablegrams of con-
dolence poured into the royal palace.
