said together, Your servant. Nlademe-

terrs, after the war.
Elva bowed a little and then she
stared minute at this older man. She
asked, What is it. Father?"
Abe said: These fellows are two
pianists that got lost and landed in
Jacobstown and they want to use
your piano - till supper" He said
kind of mean. Maybe they could
give you some pointers"
Elva looked at the foreigner like
she was trying to remember some
thing.
The old man nodded sort of careless.
''If could loosen my fingers for half
an hour, Mademezel. on your piano. l
would appreciate it forever. Tomorrow
night must l play in consairt." He
meant concert.
"If it's all right with Elva," Abe
said short and not too nice. Its all
right with me. The pianos there IN

said. very quiet. "A half an hour will

Elva. noticed, had been watchin'
the old man kind of puzzled and then
she looked at the young fellow and he
smiled. She smiled back, still studying,
and it was a pretty friendly smile.
But come in," she said, and we
all went into the parlor.
Everybody in Jacobstown was
proud of that piano. 1t was genuine
concert grand and I'll bet there wasn't
its like in any of the big towns -
Keosauqua or Bonaparte or even
Eldon, where the railroad junction
was. 1t was an enormous big thing,
and in summertime often we could
hear it playing on Main Street, two
blocks away.
Elva lifted the lid and took rag
out of the chair in front of it and
busted the keys. Then she lit the old
goose-neck piano lamp at the side it,.
She said, IF there's any music have,
you might want -"
The old man smiled. mo, Mademe-

The girl sat at one end of the sofa
close at hand and Rudolf sat on the
other and I stood with Abe at the
door. The old man kind of shook his
hands and wiggled his fingers and all
of sudden he jumped on that piano
and knocked the stuffing right out of
it. He went up and down from one
end to the other about three or four
times, gettin' faster and faster till it
sounded more like steady yell than
separate notes; then he got himself
set in the middle of the thing and
went burble- e-burble- -burble for a while
with all his fingers goin' at once, and
then he spread his fingers out and
raised his eyebrows and he went down

again at Elva. THE touch could be

That made Abe sore as the dickens.

That piano cost plenty and it was
about the best kind of piano there is.
Abe started to say something but the
old man Just smiled at him sweet and
patient and shook his hands at the
wrist like he was very sorry about
something, and turned around and
took few more whacks at the piano.
| never heard a piano that sounded
like that one before or since - and
the funny thing was that that piano
never sounded like it before or since.
Then he turns to Rudolf again.
Which program tomorrow night?"
Rudolf said something that sounded
to me like Jimmy Rooster - what's
that? Oh, knew it couldn't be that.
Kammeny Ostroe? Maybe that was
it it doesn't make any difference.
1t was a kind of a sweet piece but

they blurred. And not only that but
sometimes it seemed like that piano
just couldn't stand up - And there he
was. just long-haired old man.
You'd Of thought he'd have stroke.
And then he got up quite sudden and
bowed to Elva and to Abe.

around to this Rudolf, but Rudolf
wasn't paying any attention. He was
kind of watching Elva and Elva
wasn't paying any attention. She was
looking at the piano player hard, and
sort of puzzled.
Rudolf almost frowned. YES" he
said. 1--WE must go. This kind gentle
man has invited us to stay at his
house"
Then Elva seemed to kind of wake
up. NO" she said. mo. You must
not go. You must stay here. and We
must hear more music. would give
a year of my life to hear =" In her
excitement she clutched at Rudolfs
arm, in a childish way. But all the
time her eyes were on the old man,
still puzzled.
THAT is too much fee even for him,
Mademezel. That is too much fee for
anyone"
Now | guess the old man remem-
bered how Abe Beecher had spoke at
first and thought it was his turn to be
stiff. 1T is impossible" And he bowed
at me. I'VE have an engagement.
But Jim will stay too for supper,
won't you, Jim?"
Naturally said I'd stay. I'd never
eaten with the Beechers. not being a
society kind of fellow, and l wondered
what it was like: but the way Elva
asked me of course | had to stay,
except / said to this Rudolf, IF that
suits you folks"
Abe was standing looking like he
didn't care much for any of this and
if Elva didn't watch her step, he'd
blow off any minute.
'Mademezel." said the piano player.
and then l saw that he was just as
likely to blow off as old Abe Beecher.
1t looked like he was going to turn
them down cold.
Elva was young and you wouldn't
think butter would melt in her mouth.
But she was female. too. So she cut
them both short with, "I'll go and
tell Mary" and out she went flying
with her pale dress floating behind
her, through the hall door to the
kitchen. 1t left us men folks standing
there feeling foolish and not knowing
much what to say, all except the piano
player, who just stood looking after
her, in a brown study.

substantiate this he offered the
minute book of the county cleo
ton board, showing that no mo;
ton was made for the printing OF

There is no reason for alleg-

weeks after he had completed
three years in Nazi concentration
camps.
The award was interpreted wide
ly as likely to be regarded by Nazi
Germany as a direct atfront, as a
frank criticism of it's policies.
This was believed to be respon-
sible for the recent decision of
Halvdan Koht, Norwegian foreign
minister. and Johann Mowinskel,
former Norwegian premier and
foreign minister, TO resign from
the Nobel peace committee.
So serious was the incident re-
garded that it has been suggested
that the committee received word
that Ossietzky was likely to refuse
the award.

declaration to the world voiced
plainly it's suspicion that Ger

Cartegena harbor Sunday.
Both. Italy and Germany are
charged directly with permitting

Regarding Germany, the gov!

of its intention to intimate that
it was q German torpedo that
damaged the cruiser. -.t
The statements said:
