terday. The young guests were
taken to the Carolina to movie
first.
When they returned to the
apartment, which was decorated
artistically with dahlias and snap
dragons, they were invited to the
beautiful table where the birth
day cake, topped with eight tiny
candles, formed the centerpiece.
Ice cream was served with the
cake. Place cards were attractive
as well as the snapper favors and
dainty baskets of candy and nuts.
The guests were, besides JoAnn,
Arlene White, Maxine Finn, and
Marylin Colene, and Miss Annette
Revely, of Rutherfordton.

too cold and stiff to care. The driving
had her hypnotized her bright
lights on the road ahead - the ribbon
Of the road pouring in a steady stream
toward her and disappearing under
the radiator. Her hands and arms
were stiff.
Behind her, to the left, another
battery of those little barking noun
tain guns opened fire. 1t was half-past
four by the clock. The Dusselhorn
was completely shrouded in morning
mist. and the clouds were over the
shoulder of the hills to the right. She
ran through wisps of them occasion

Suddenly. directly over her head,
there was hacking roar, and the belly
of plane flashed over her not hum
dred feet above the road. Instinctively
she came down on the accelerator.
The planes motor banged in a fash of
red fire and suffered loudly.
The road in front of her lay straight
down the mountain, and the plane
was following it in a steep glide. She
raced after it. It was far down in the
darkness ahead of her lights now. but
once more she saw the explosive red
flash of the engine just above the trees.
Then it was gone She braked her car
and pulled up, switching off and stand
ing up to listen. Nothing: and then.

struck and splitting under the blow.
Somewhere down there the plane had
crashed.
She started her car again and raced
on down the road. A few minutes later
she ran over something and slammed
her brakes down hard. The roadway
was full of twigs with new leaves on
them, silver in the lights. What she
had run over was a small tree branch.
The plane had struck into the tops of
the trees and ricocheted.
Her heart pounding, she switched
off her motor and listened. There was
no sound except the heat crackle of her
silent motor, the dawn wind in the
tree leaves, and the bark of an awak-
ened dog far up the silent mountain
side.
She knew that she had to get out
and look for the crash, but she couldn't
move. She was stiff there, gripping
the wheel with fright, her throat dry.
Then she got out into the roadway.

to the rear of the car. fumbling for the
trunk cover. 1t was closed tightly. She
opehed it and groped inside. The boy
was gone.
When she was climbing slowly up
through the hills after leaving St.
Beloise - that's when he had done it.
Frightened by the lorries at St. Bel
oise, he had watched his chance and
dropped off on the fly.
She walked back to the front of
the car.
A man was trying to climb over the
stone wall to the left and about twenty
feet in front of the car. She saw him
outlined against the family tightening
sky. He was like drunk. wavering on
the wall, getting leg over it and
letting himself down into the ditch
beside the road. Suddenly and without
knowing she was going to do it, she
called to him. He staggered up the
TOAD into the path of her lights, brush
ing back at his hair and wiping the
backs of his hands across his eyes. He
was Captain in the Twenty-Second
Regiment of Artillery, with staff
brassard on his left arm.

Josephine remembered her fash

Aunt Wins Fight
Over Boy Star
Parents of Young
Bartholomew
Spurned

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.-Sole
guardian of precocious Freddie
Bartholomew British boy film
star, will be his Aunt Cissie,"
Mrs. Mylicent Mary Bartholomew,
from now on.
A bitter two-year custody battle,
waged by the 15-year-old boys
parents, Cecil and Lillian Barthol-
omew, ended in District Court of
Appeals here yesterday when the
Court turned down the parents
request that prior decisions made
in Superior Court be set aside.
PAID $4,000 A WEEK
Freddie was brought up almost
from infancy by his aunt, who
was the first to recognize his act
ing talent and start him on the
road to wealth in Hollywood. His
latest quoted salary is $4,000 a
week, which he won from Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer after staging a
"one-boy" strike.
Freddie's Aunt Cissie," whose
guardianship he has always pre-
ferred to that of his parents,
legally adopted the little actor last
year. At that time she almost
ended Freddie's film career for
good, for, during a contract battle
with M.-G.-M., Mrs. Bartholomew
made the startling charge that
Freddie was in the United States
illegally, since he had been brought
from England as a performer
while still a minor, contrary to
English law.
CHARGE FORGOTTEN
This was forgotten, however,
when M.-G.-M. raised Freddie's
salary from $375 to $1,000 and
finally to $4,000 a week.
Two years ago Freddie was the
recipient of a kidnap-threat letter
demanding $4,000. The note was
reported to Omen and Freddie
got a bodyguard, although he
never knew what the bodyguard
was for.
All Freddie's father got from
his son apparently was pension
from the Canadian government al
