gingerly into the unstable thing and crouched,
his knuckles white where they gripped the
narrow edges. Expertly the boy padded
through maze of narrow passages that
criss-crossed through grass high above their
heads. A smart boy, in his hick way, Mink
admitted
Abruptly the progue bumped upon the
shore of hummock an island of rising
ground. And there, just as though they had
never left it, was the faint path winding
through the tamarack scrub. Mink was glad
to scramble out of the dugout log and get his
feet on solid ground once more.
Stills hundred yerd up road" The boys
voice drawled from behind him. Not whin-
pering now. flushed and tense.
A hundred yards That was too suddenly
near to be SAFE But Mink had all he needed
to know. He turned hurriedly to scramble into
the pirogue again. But his own effort of land
ing had pushed it little distance off shore.
Brown water lay between. The boy sat in
dolently in the stern. Throaty warbles and
soft trills whistled from his lips
Mink experienced a premonition of unease.
20. K. kid" he said Let's CO. kid. You'll
get your five dollars the minute get back"
Zeb Turneys brat made an expert flip of
his paddle. Silently the pirogue slid back
wards round the bend of the narrow brown
channel. The pure mocking bird melody broke
off. Only the Cracker brat's voice came out of
the emptiness. Never a whimper in it now.
Calmly matter-of-fact.
HELL mister. You all amt comm back"
Evening star., 1935-09-22

Damn the brat for an avaricious Judas.
But that just showed that the little savage
had the most primitive conception of money
values. However, it was just as easy to prom
ise five dollars as to promise quarter.
"O kr' Mink conceded. Come ahead"
He pushed the boy in front of him. holding
him by the scruff of the neck, as a victorious
mongrel holds a rabbit. The boy went before
him whimpering.
Mink felt that he could afford to snarl his
smile. Why not? His was no dangerous pro-
fession of raiding moonshiner's lair risking
bullets he got his pay for supplying infor-
nation leading to the arrest. -
faint path led out of the palmetto to a
sheet of iridescent scum and there disappeared.
But the boy stepped to saw grass tussock
and from that to another. Like stepping stones
they made road through black slime - for
those who knew just which tussock The boy
whined from ahead: "Y' amt give me ma
faive dawlars yit."
You amt showed me yet, Mink growled.
"You get yours when get back" His temper
was on edge. He didn't like this balancing on
grass roots. But he'd stick it out; all he
needed was glimpse at the place and he'd
get out.
The tussocks merged into open Everglades
savannah. That is to say, what looked like
prairie grass grew out of deep brown water.
A couple of slender dugout pirogues nestled
amongst the tall stems,
The boy squatted on his heels in the stern
of one and took up paddle Mink crawled
Evening star., 1935-09-22

Where's yer dad, KIDD" he asked brusquely.
The boy stopped his trills and warbles long
enough to answer the direct question with
amazingly direct candour.
'Paps daown swamp a ways. maxim
shine"
Take me to him." Mink ordered. He
winked a pink -lidded eye. Il got some bust
ness with him
The boy still whitfield. 'Us Glades Crackers
got no business with TURNER'S
Mink knew exactly how to handle kids. He
made quick reach and caught the boys right
wrist. "Gett'n fresh, yeah?" He twisted the
arm smartly behind the boys back. 80 then
we'll talk different" He pushed the arm up
wards between the shoulder blades.
The boy cried out once, then bit his teeth
together. Mink's throaty laugh was like the
buzz of swamp rattler. He had all the con-
fidence of experience in his methods. Gutter
brats of the slums - give them little torture
to break down the morale they had never pos
sessed, and promise of a reward to arouse
their cupidity for money they seldom saw. 1t
always worked. This rube brat would be a
cnch.
Mink applied another twist to the rack.
"C'm on now. They says you're smart brat.
Lead me to yer dad an | give yer quarter
Another twist now.
1t wrung a scream from the boy, and forth
with submission. "Ow-oo-oh! Please, Mister! !!
All right -- ah-ow-w-w!'' Or at least it was
partial submission. "Ah'll show you all for

face bent abSorbedly over his whiting. Care
tree as mocking bird, he whistled content
ment Scrawny chickens scratched in the dust
A lean hound scratched himself and snapped
at droning swamp flies. Just Cracker shack
in the Everglades country.
Mink Parsons craned his tortoise neck
warily over fringe of palmetto scrub. His
lips split in thin snarl at the scene. 1t had
done nothing to him; but he hated it. Hehated
all of this southern country. So empty; so
lar from the big city; so devoid of all the COM
forts and congeniality that man needed for
his work - such as poorooms and backstair
hang-outs.
He never would have come here, but that
the aftermath to his most recent deal had
necessitated a quick flight to the most obscure
hide-out he could find. For Mink's profession
was what he styled Intelligence Agent, but
what the police bluntly called stool pigeon"
Mink had been quick to seize upon hint
that Zeb Turney was going to be away from
home this day. attending to his quiet little
still and if that were so, and the kid would be
alone. that would be - Minks snarl became
smile as he surveyed the deserted scene -
it would be just pie for Mink.
Zeb Turney's brat, they had told Mink,
was smarter'n mockin bird. But Mink, in
his experience, knew exactly how to handle
kids - if they were alone and unprotected
So Mink slouched down to the shack.

Theme from Second Movement of Symphony No. BY
Randall Thompson

The All-American program Of
the National Symphony OrChes-
ira, under the direction Of DR..
Hans Kinder, yesterday afternoon
in Constitution Hall met with an
enthusiastic response with the
composers each taking several
bows.
Among the composers whose
works were played, Randall
Thompson. Roy Harris and
Charles G. Vardell, jr.. were pres
ent at the concert. Deems Taylor
and Daniel Gregory Mason were
unable to come.
Probably the most popular work
with the audience was Joe Clark
Steps Out" by Vardell. The roll
licking rhythm based on the old
song "Joe Clark" itself a dance
tune, made an attractive light
number.
The "Chorale for Strings" by
Harris, was more serious in form
and seemed to portray the pentup
feelings and desires seeking ex-
preston through the medium OF
sacred music.
Thompson's Symphony
BY far the largest and most
comprehensive number was the
"Symphony No. e." by Thomp-
son. While making liberal use OF
syncopated rhythm, Mr.. Thomp-
son firmly denied that any part
of this work was "jazz," as an
nounced by some authorities.
Said Mr.. Thompson:
''The themes of this symphony
were taken from my childhood
memory Of popular songs, and
this would definitely class them
under the older heading Of rag
time before the term jazz was
used to designate a type of
music.
The theme shown above is the
main theme of the second or
Largo movement of the Symphony
No. 2. It has a decided syncopated
form, and is slow in movement.
Each of these movements were
brought together to form a SYM
phony because of their contrast
ing forms inspired by the general
desire to use popular American
music.
The program opened with
"Chanticleer" overture by Mason
and ended with Taylor'S "The
Chambered Nautilus" sung by the
Washington Choral Society. The
choral society, under the direction
Of Louis Potter, gave a careful
rendition Of the work.
The lack of male voices, COM
mon to most volunteer choruses,
prevented a good balance of parts
so that at times when the orches-
tral accompaniment would swell
in volume, the soprano section
only could be heard.
Following the concert, a recep-
ton was given by the board of di-
rectorS of the National Symphony
Orchestra Association at 1925 F
st. N. w., to the members of the
association in honor of the Amer
ican composers represented on the
program.
Ballet Russo
The Ballet Russo de Monte
Carlo will give performances Sun
day afternoon and evening in the
National Theater. This noted or
ganization will present dance inter-
pretations of Tchaikovsky's "Sleep-
ing Beauty" and Fifth SYM
phony," and works by Rossini,
Borodine, Boccherini and DeFalla.
The Ballet Russo has met with
great acclaim wherever seen in
America as well as in Europe.
Fifty dancers, with three carloads
Of scenery, 5000 costumes, and an
orchestra make up this greatest

The program for Sunday after
noon at 2:30 will consist of the
