He was gone, casually. like going to
catch the morning train! This might
happen again. day after day! She
stood quite still until she saw the sun
rise. She wandered into the house,
ate what was set before her and
wandered out into the garden again.
She walked where she and John had
walked, striving to imagine him at her
side. Abruptly she stopped - quite
still. Thunder from the north and
east rumbled through the stiffness,
pushing it aside. She looked up and
stared at the sunlit, cloudless sky.
No: not thunder Then she spied vul
lures against the cerulean blue
vultures in formation. Came the high
increasing drone Of engines in the sky,
shrill shrieks streaking downward. the
thunderous distant crash of a bomb

door. She pounded on it with her fists.
John! John! She sank to her knees
and sat with her cheek pressed hard
against its studded planks. her eyes
closed tight.
Hours later Mara found her. She
refused to move. even to speak. He

of her billowing skirt blending into

a statue. looking down at Mary. then
turned and moved away as silently as
she had come. When she returned,
Don Paco walked at her side. He
leaned over to take Mary's hand.
Come, ehica: come with Don Paco."
She rose and walked beside him like
one in trance He led her back to the
house, sat on a couch and drew her
down beside him. He and Dofia Man.

crops and vintages. of flocks and pas

watching the slow lengthening of the
shadows. Would this day never end?
When at last the room darkened, a
catch came into her breath. a catch
like stified sigh. She could feel the
suspense of Don Paco. of Dofia
Manuela. even of Mara. Throughout
the long day noise had been the source
of terror; now it was stiffness that
struck at the heart. They were wait

dull red light rose only from the cups
of glowing charcoal in the long range.
BY its illumination they could have
seen each Others faces. but none

to move. He opened the door and

sunset" He turned to Mary. "As for
you, Seaorito. 60 with Dofia Manuela."
With the fall of night came blessed
calm. Safe in Dona Manuela's hidden
retreat, John and Mary could look at
each other in unhurried wonder, each
making sure the other was alive and
true. While Mary watched. Dofa
Manuela doctored Johns crushed
fingers, applying some pungent de-
coction to the accompaniment OF mutt

They followed it until they stepped

Their hearts leaped with the same
beat. She chung to him and they kissed.

 IN "TOP HAT,"
 CAPITOL FILM

 Piccolino

Dancing and singing to the tunes and lyrics of Irving Berlin, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers set a new high for screen materials in ''1op Hat now showing at the Capitol Theatre. The two stars in- troduce a number of new dances, climaxed by the Italian favored Piccolino, which is their answer to public demand for successor to the "Carioca" and the "Contin- ental"
 Splendid support is accorded by comedy cast which includes Helen Broderick, brilliant commedienne of the Broadway stage, Edward Everett Horton, Erik Rhodes, and Eric Blore, the butler of The Gay Divorcee.'

BATON ROUGE, La. Oct. 13.- If the Louisiana State University lineup, as printed some morning in your favorite wspaper, reads "Tinsley, right end" and "Tinsley left end" it won't be 8 typograph- ical error.
 You know about Gaynell Tinsley of course-the Bayon Tiger end who crashed the starting lineup as a | sophomore, who won all-American rating as junior, and who is com p,eting his college career this sea- son.
 Gaynell has cousin on the L. s. U. squad this year. He's L. M (Chicko Tinsley, rated as an excel lent end while playing in 1885 with Louisiana junior college team.
 The name of Tinsley stood out in bold letters in Louisiana State grid annals even before the advent of Gaynell.
 Jess Tinsley, all-Southern tackle of 1928, first brought the name into I the football headlines. Jess, another cousin of Gaynell and brother of Chick, was the outstanding star of the Louisiana State grid teams of 1926-27-28, when he won his all- conference rating despite the fact the Tigers made up weak team.
 L. s. U. is in the Southeastern conference now, and it's a long jump from junior college compe- tition to conference post. But there are lot of Louisiana fol- lowers who will bet that Chick will make good in big way-as long as there is Tinsley blood flowing ir his veins.
