By SAM JACKSON

LOS GATOS, Cal, Sept. 16. - After having sacrificed at least $100,000 in concert fees to enjoy two years of leisure close ito the good earth" Yehudi Menuhin IS about to pick up his violin and re- ISume his travels.
 The boy prodigy who grew ac- customed to the applause of the musical world at the age of six is now strapping, bronzed athlete of 20
 When he steps onto a San Francisco concert platform Sept. I28 it will be somewhat suggestive of a boxers comeback, with two im- portant exceptions Yehudi never has taken the count, nor has he broken training.
 Family Likes Open Spaces
 It was an unusual decision of an unusual family that brought one of musics brightest luminaries into voluntary seclusion in the Santa Cruz mountains.

 So, for the time, blonde Hephzi- bah will content herself with some joint recitals with her famous bro ther.
 Yehudi asked for violin when he was two years old He didn't get it. But his father-who had brought his bride from Palestine and was struggling for bare exis- tence teaching Hebrew and math- ematics in San Francisco-saw that the boy went to concerts.
 At five Yehudi got a midget vio- lin and was allowed one hour day to practice. He memorized nearly every piece with his first playing His father had to drive him out doors for a normal amount of rec reation.
 At six he had given reeitals and had gravely announced: When am a man I shall play even better than Heifitz and Elman."
 His career since then-up to the time he changed from tails into swimming trunks-is musical his tory. He went into retirement just after a world tour.

Allan P. Kirby, who in surprise
move last May acquired control Of
Allegheny and with working direc-
ton of $4,000 miles of railroad lines,
intend eventually to dissolve Chesa-
peak Corp, Young said.
The three, II the present plan is
accepted, will hold about 43 per cent
of the stock of the new Chesapeake
Corp. Conversion privileges have
been granted, however, which may in
time reduce their holdings to less than
10 per cent, they said in statement.
Chesapeake Corp. now owns about
355 per cent of the common stock OF
Chesapeake & Ohio. Other roads
under working control Of Chesapeake
Corp. and Allegheny Corp. include the
Missouri Pacific, Pere Marquette, Erie
Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Nickel
Plate" Wheeling a. Lake Erie and the
Pittston Co., the latter operating coal
properties.
1t was understood the Missouri Pa
ciflc was not included in the Eastern
consolidation plan. and eventually its
securities now held by Allegheny Corp.

they got to their feet the water was

Mike grinned crookedly. grimly.
We'll have to swim for it, I guess"
oh, Nike Mike"
n Err voice was swallowed up. She
felt herself lifted high, hurled
out on the crest Of the rushing tor
rent. She heard Mike yell at her.
1nstlnctively she flung off her wrap
She struck out. Her heart beat again
when she saw Mikes head pobbing
close. He had hold of tomething.
He was yelling at her. Sb. fought her
way toward him. He reached out an
arm and drew her in. The thing he
had hold of was the roof of chicken
house They clung to it desperately,
felt themselves being torn and bat
tered, were pushed beneath the sur
face, hurled high on the crest of boil
ing foam. Yet they hung on.
Hours passed. Days. Years. Avis
knew that Mikes arm was around her
waist, that he was supporting her.
Consciousness came and went, slipped
away Darkness shut down. Far, far
away she heard sounds she knew to be
the turmoil of the food. Then all
things were blotted out.
She opened her eyes to the sound
of cracking wood A fire was burning.
She lay near it on dry ground. Mike
was feeding the flames
The rain had stopped. The roaring
OF the flood was close at hand
Mike came and knelt beside her.
He grinned. I'VE got here. Don't
ask me how. We're safe In the
morning there'l be boats out look
ing for refugees"
Mike! Oh, Mike"
He looked at her tenderly. Listen,
kiddo, you've grown up. IL just

there it occurred to me what a sorry
old world this would be il anything

Mike. my darling!"
And so they huddled there beside
the fire, clinging to each other, glad
to be together, waiting for the dawn

down to New Orleans to work for an
exporting company. With his going
Avis felt that the world had slipped
from under her. He "rote-gay,
chummy letters that made her feel
worse than if he hadn't written at all.
And then, in January, 1887, he re-
turned to Snughaven, buoyed up by
plans of establishing local Office for
the exporting company.
The day he returned it began to
rain. 1t had been raining ever since
a steady, warm doWnpour. Already
the river was up above flood average
On Saturday of that week Mike
took Avis to the annual country club
ball She couldn't understand why he
had asked her. She didn't care. 1t
was enough to be with him. May Sims
was there. May was two years older
than Avis, beautiful, bewitching bru-
nette. She had known Mike before her
folks took her abroad to finish her
education.
1t was close to midnight when Avis,
dancing with Pete Herrick, happened
to glance into the cocktail room and
saw Mike and May there And what
she saw caused her heart to stand
still
Fifteen minutes later she accosted
Mike in the lobby.
Il want to go home Mike I've a
headache"
He stared at her Mortified. Home?
Why, it's the shank of the evening"
If you don't want to take me, I'll
get taxi"
He grinned cheerfully and got their
things.
THAT was the night the levee broke.
1t happened at 1926. Riding
along the Marsh road Avis and Mike
heard the ominous rumbling growing
louder and looked at each other. They
didn't need to hear the screaming of
sirens and the shrilling of whistles to
tell them what had happened. They,
like every one else in Snughaven, had
been expecting it, fearing it.
Mike stepped on the accelerator
They shot along the marsh road till
they reached the North and South
highway and turned south. Water
