 Sometime after supper, there was a knock on the front door of Paul Revere's house. Who ever it was did not use the knocker. Paul, Jr. opened the door and admitted a boy of his own age; who walked directly toward Paul Revere, who met him half way. "Mr. Revere, the boy said, in a low tone. ''Dr. Warren sent me. He wants you to go to his house quick. He thought it would be risky for him to come here."
 "All right, sam." With an ap- proving look at one of the clever est patriot spies, You stay here till I come back"
 "Thank you, sir" said Sam Ballard admiringly at Paul Re- were, as he put on his hat and went out.

Cambridge, Mass, April 16-(U. P.)-The mystery of the vanished bride-elect puzzled police of two states today. Edith Arnato, g, come v brunette, disappeared in Central Square theater crowds Monday night after telling her fiance, Frank Ecalfani, g, of Boston's north end: @T1i see you tomorrow night"
 Possibility the girl may have gone ko New York, where she has rela- EiyeS and where former fiance is employed, led police in that city to join the search. Only the night be- fore her disappearance, she had visited the former fance, Arnold De Martin, 21, former Harvard Univer- sity library clerk, at his brothers home here. After talking with Miss Amato, De Martin returned to New York.
 Are Still in Love
 Brothers of De Martin said the couple still were in love. Good luck to them, whatever they do," added the brothers, Theodore and Francis. Miss Amato's sister Amelia ridiculed the suggestion she had eloped with De Martin. "She wouldn't run away from Frank" she said. "She told me that she loved him and was going to marry him."
 Hcalfani told police his flancee said she had an appointment with a shoe factory forewoman from whom she had asked work, but investiga- tors were unable to locate the wo. man.

WHITE MAN HAS
 BECOME 'NECRO'

Santa Ana, Cal, April 16-(UP)- A white man whose skin was turned black by rare disease, was given lone chance in million" to survive today by one of the specialists at- tending him. If he lives, William L. Morrison, 49, will get back his white skin, the medical expert predicted. The specialist, who requested that he not be Identified otherwise, is one of 50 southern California doctors called into clinic over the case. Morrison said his skin has black ened since January, starting at his hands and face and creeping over his body.
 He is a citrus worker and his ail- ment began soon after he spent sev- eral weeks working in the black smudge of citrus orchard heaters during 8 cold snap, but doctors said the smoke was not to blame. They diagnosed his disease as the rare "Mellanosis," a skin ailment usually fatal. A husky 200-pound man be- fore the disease weakened him, Mor- rison is now under observation at St. Joseph's hospital. He suffers no pain and is hopeful of recovery.

Stirring Home Incidents Recalled By Democrat
 Historian
BY JOHN BARR

A hundred and sixty-two years ago next Sunday evening (April 18th, 1775) Paul Revere, Master Mechanic of Boston sat down to supper as usual with his family in their pleasant home, that he owned, in the then aristocratic North Square. He was at that time 40 years old. Gathered about him were his wife and seven children-Debora, IT; Paul, Jr., 15; Sarah, 13; Frances, g; Mary, 2; Elizabeth 5; and baby Joshua.
 Paul Revere was a hero in his own family. They were all very proud of him-and he was of them. To his daughters, as to his wife, he was the ideal man; and to Paul, Jr.-he was a wOn- derful pal. On the historic oc- casion of the Boston Tea Party he was the Chief of the "MO- hawks and had taken young Paul along with him as a husky young brave disguised in war paint and feathers.
 There was another worshipful admirer of Paul Revere present at supper that night of fate his devoted dog, Old Scout.
 Paul Revere's family knew that he was an upright and suc- cessful business man, the recog- nized leader of the Mechanics of Boston; and they knew, too, that he was the trusted confid- ant and associate of Dr. Joseph Warren and Samuel Adams and John Hancock, and that when there was a particularly danger ous thing to be done for the ratriot cause, Paul Revere was chosen to do it. They knew of secret meetings at the Green Dragon Inn and of Paul Re- vere's mysterious absence on long horse back journeys; and even while they were at supper that night they knew that King Georges soldiers were contin- ualIy passing the house and watching every movement of its inmates.
 But they did not know-what we do--that that supper was go-

 dead, In their night -encampment on the
 hill, Wrapped in silence so deep and still That he could hear, like a Sentinel'S
 tread, Thc watchful night wind, as it
 went, Creeping along from tent to ten, Ard seeming to whisper, "All is
 welI!" A moment only he feels the spell O. the place and the hour and the
 secret dread Oi the lonely bellfrey and the dead; For suddenly all his thoughts are
 bent Cl a shadowy something far away, Where the river widens to meet the
 bay A line of black that bends and floats On the rising tide, like a bridge of
 boats. Meanwhile impatient to mount and
 ride, Booted and spurred, with heavy
 stride On the opposite shore walked Paul
 Revere. Now h patteG his horses side, Tow gazed at the landscape far and rear,
 ~.i, impetu0us, stamped the earth, And turned Gnd frightened his sad
 dle-girth; Ert mostly watched with eager
 search The beIlfry tower of the Old North
 Church. As it rose above the graves on the
 hill, Lonely and spectral and sombre and still. And To! as he looks, on the belfry's
 height A glimmer, and then gleam of
 light! He springs to the saddle, the bridIe

1.-TWO of a kind, Old Scout" responds Sam, with grin, and batting his shaggy head.
 In hardly more than 20 min- utes, Paul Revere returned. Hur- riedly he changed shoes for rid ing -boOts-fiung on his surtout or long Overcoat-thrust pistols in his pocket.
 Don't expect me back tonight" :" he said, speaking rapidly to his wife and Paul, Jr. Put out the lights and go to bed. Goodnight, dear" to his wife, kissing her. A kiss for each of the girls and baby Joshua a whispered word to Paul, Jr a wave of his hand to all as he went out into the night, closing the door quietly.
 Ten minutes later--just as Sam Ballard was about to leave there was scratch on the door. It was old Scout all excite- ment.
 What is it, old fellow?" every body asked. N>
 "Oh, here's a note fastened in- side his collar" exclaimed Deb- ora. Its from father. |. Quick! he forgot his spurs"
 Here they are," answers Paul, Jr., and he and Sam Ballard fasten them to Old Scouts cOl- lar so as to be hidden 2 in his long hair.
 Old Scout wags his tail and feels the importance of his job.
 GO straight to Paul Revere!" they charge him-and let him out.
 What happened from then on through the momentous night and the following day, is, as we know, one of the most thrilling and epoch-making chapters in all history-so beautifully and dra- matically told by Longfellow in his Midnight Ride of Paul Revere!

With q high card value Of and a
strong nve-card suit, Mr.. Stearns' bid
was nevertheless shaded. However. he
felt it better to open the bidding rather
than show his suit at later stage.
Mr.. Maier's one-diamond response was
natural, and now South made the mis-
take of overcalling with one spade.
OF course, he did have fair hand in
high cards but was lacking in playing
strength. Holding one more trump,
his bid would have been correct.
Having q minimum bid, Mr.. Stearns
naturally passed, and when Mr.. Maier
doubled he was delighted to leave it
in. After thinking things over care
fully, he opened the king Of clubs.
Maier won the trick with the single
ton ace and promptly led the king Of
diamonds. Declarer took with the
ace and shifted to the ten Of hearts.
Realizing that his partners failure to
return = club indicated q singleton
of that suit, Mr.. Stearns took that
trick with the ace and cashed the
queen and jack Of clubs, Mr.. Maier
discarding both his hearts. Mr.
Stearns now led heart, Mr.. Maier
trumped and played the queen, jack
and another diamond, which Mr..
Stearns ruffed. Mr.. Stearns now led
another club and declarer, who had
discarded q club from dusmy on
the fourth diamond lead, trumped
with the four spot. Mr.. Maier over
ruffed with the seven, and declarer
won with the ten. led the deuce of
trumps and won the last two tricks

Maier and Stearns, as they could not
have made game on their combined
hands.
