William G. Handy, whose soubri-

part in the presentation of a play
produced by the Nina Mae McKin-

written around his life.
In order to lose as little time
as possible from the Cotton Club

CHAPTER XII

They reached Chicago on bleak
November morning. Wind was blow
ing across Lake Michigan in wintry
gusts, and the weather man pre-
dicted snow. 1t came, a blizzard
out of the north. For two days they
were storm-bound in boarding
house run by an old nurse of Con-
stance Venable 's-one of the many
whom CARTS unfailing generL sity
had helped.
On the third afternoon when the
city was digging out of snow drifts
and the sun was making a half
hearted effort to show it's face, their
hostess said: "Why don't you two
go for a little walk? I'll look after
the children. I'd really like to; and
breath of outdoor air will do you
good"
"Come on" said Don, brighten
ing at the prospect of some activ-
ity. eff you get tired, Nora, we'll
drop in at a movie for an hour"
That's right" urged the woman,
glad to be of service to these friends
of her beloved Venables. you'll
find a theater three blocks down.
It's a cheap place, opened only a
week ago; but it'll do to get warm
in"
'Sure!" agreed Don, land lurid
picture won't hurt old folks like us!"
The wind sprang up again as they
started out; and the sun, discour-
aged, retired behind a cloud.
81 guess three blocks'n be about
enough!" Don laughed as they
ducked their heads against the
weather. "Those Italian winters
have spoiled us, Nora; but l hear
we're liable to fry in Arizona. That's
one place / haven't been, my dear,
and I'm crazy to see it. There's
our theater ahead now. Looks cheap
all right. L bet the SHOWS packed
solid behind that false front roof.
There's weight to this snow, Nora.
l hope"
What Don hoped was lost in a
gust of wind that fairly blew them
into the lobby of the theater.

She said, turning to look up at
Don: "That verse about the shin
ing palace is an invitation, and if it
arrives when Dads in relenting
mood, he may accept it."
Don said nothing. 1t sometimes
troubled him that in all these years
Nora had never lost hold of the con-
viction that her father would reach
moment of surrender. Person
ally, Don didn't believe it, not after
the old mans silence when in
formed of the arrival of his name
sake, James Lambert Mason. It
was hard for Don to forgive that
silence when he recalled how, spent
with the hours of fear and anguish,
Nora had looked up at him from
her narrow berth on that storm
tossed ship, to say: Tiff it's only
a boy, dear, so we can name him
for Father, I sha'n't mind-any-
thing. lit will bring us togeth-
err"
Well, unused Don, turning away
from his wife's eyes, it was boy,
and it had not brought them one
inch nearer. Jimsy was more than
three years old, and his grandfather
had not expressed the slightest in
terest in his existence. It wasn't

Smart Grow Often Has to Fight Other
Birds, but He Always Calls for Help

The natural enemy of the crow is
the hawk. Blackbirds, bluebirds,
swallows, and at times robins, will
fight them viciously. However, the
crow is smart-smarter than most
of the feathered world-in that he
will fight only when backed by a
company of his kind. Virtually all
other birds and animals hunt alone.
The crow will feed alone, but
when trouble arises he begins cav
ing for help and a whole platoon
of his companions is soon on the
scene to help. Because Of these
gang methods, however, the crow
furnishes excellent sport for the
shooter because he is easily de-
coyed.
Anyone armed with a crow call
can have excellent sport calling and
shooting the black robbers. There
are several ways in which to hunt
them, advises a writer in the Chi
cago Daily News.
A stuffed or live hawk or owl
is an excellent decoy. The decoy
should be placed in the open and
the gunner should hide in nearby
woods. Then he should blow his
crow call Justify. He soon is re-
warded by the approach Of crows.
Another method is to locate a
roost, where the crows come in by
the thousands for the night. This

wished to be king. She prepared all
the details of the deed, even drug
ging the bodyguards. She said that
she would have stabbed the king
herself, but he resembled her father
as he slept.
Macbeth killed the sleeping king,
and was the loudest in his surprise
and sorrow when the deed was dis
covered the next morning.
Banquo, close friend and fellow
officer, dared to show Macbeth that
he suspected the truth. Macbeth
later had him taken for a ride and
murdered because he knew too
much.
Life as king did not bring joy to
Macbeth. Fear mounted in his own
heart, and he increased the number
of spies in the homes of his noble
men. Murder followed murder. AS
soon as he felt that any man dis
liked him, he notified his killers.
Hatred of Macbeth grew on all sides
of Scotland. Finally the time
seemed ripe, and Macduff went to
England for help. From personal
spite, Macbeth had the helpless wife
and children of Macduff murdered.
Lady Macbeth Dies.
Life for Lady Macbeth was one
long punishment. She had to watch
her husbands degeneration, know
ing all the while that she might
have prevented it. Finally, her sub
conscious mind got the upper hand.
Sleep was not restful, but was DOM
mated by thoughts of the murder of
King. Duncan, whose blood she kept
seeing on her hands. She became
totally insane.
In the last act of the play she
died, and when Macbeth heard the
news he said, "She should have
died hereafter. There would have
been a time for such word" She
would have died anyway! (But it
might have been at more conve-
nient timely

The elements of tragedy are
many. Macbeth violated every du-
ty: to his king, to his subjects, to
his wife, to God. AS hatred and
murder increased in his soul, love
and sympathy decreased, until his
wife became to him as stranger,

not have disturbed his activity.

There was no reason to think he
would not be amenable to the sug-
gestion that there was vast
amount of interesting material on
their own West. Don planned Sc
ries of articles called Seeing
America First" submitted the idea,
and waited impatiently for the ver-
dict.
Not knowing that the great man
was away on a vacation, the letter
seemed long in coming; but it
brought good news. The editor con-
sidered this plan "most interest
ing" and requested that Don stop
off in Chicago on the way West to
consult a personal friend of his who
had been over the ground recently
and might give him some valuable
data And would he plan so
that the first article could be run in
February?
Nora wept with relief when she
heard the news-Nora, who so sell
dom gave way to tears.
''I've been dreading so awfully to
start out again." she told him, "but
this is different. If, as you say,
we can stay at San Diego until after
New Years, everything will be
easy. I can settle you somewhere,
and then go to a hospital for the
event. And next spring we can
come home for a long summer.
Don't mind my CRYING. Don. It.
it's only the heavenly relief"
"You poor dear nonad!" said
Don tenderly. And then added: eff
all goes well, darling, we'll install
furnace here next summer so we
can stay as late as you want to in
the fall"
II believe" smiled Nora, wink
ing away the last of her foolish
tears, II believe you've discov-
cred the advantages of a home
yourself, Don!"

in Don to comprehend how anyone
could be so stubbornly resentful-
so unkind. Impatient at the situa-
ton he once said as much, and
Nora answered.:
"It's not just that, Don. You see,
he loved my mother above anything
on earth, yet she hurt him unspeak-
ably. And, though it wasn't my
fault, perhaps, I hurt him, too. I
think he doesn't dare let me get
near him any more. Don't you un-
derstand? He's afraid of being hurt
again."
So she mailed her postal, hoped
for a time, and then decided that
the hour of relenting had not come.
But despite this disappointment
Nora was very happy that summer.
Don was always glad to remem-
Der how happy she had been. AS
the months passed, her new home
became almost as perfect as she
dreamed it could be; and even Tom
Littlefield admitted that the ball
room" was not too big.
"And it's coy, isn't it?" prod
ded Leonora, determined to make
the old carpenter give in.
20, it's coy enough" he as
scented, albeit grudgingly; "but /
still, think, if you was to ask me,
Mis- Mason, that it's all out O. pro-
portion to the size O. the kitchen"
"But we don't live in the kitch-
en-" Nora retorted.
"And amt ever heard O. any,
body Twin in ball room, either, !"
snapped the old man.
He was frequent caller, as was
the notary at the Port. The latter
had standing invitation to Sunday
dinner, which was quite as likely
to be served on the beach as in
the banquet hall. Afterwards he
would find his way into the big liv-
ing room and browse among the
books, sometimes reading aloud
from his beloved poets to Nora,
sometimes reading from "Peter
Rabbit" to the boys.
Hes as good as a grandfather, %
said Don one Sunday afternoon
when he found the old man with
both children in his lap; and then
wished he hadn't spoken because
Nora's face clouded at the words.
The summer drifted by. Septem-
Der came, and with it the chance
Don was hoping for, something he
had kept secret from his wife fear
ing to cause her disappointment
should it not work out. For Nora
had limited to the little boys that
Santa Claus might possibly bring
them "baby sister, and Don was
determined that their mother should
not be dragged to Europe If such q
step could be avoided. He knew
that the Letters from Cape Town
had proved even more popular than
the American editor expected.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1938-05-20

he thought he could beat the laws
of right and wrong, but fearful
life and violent death showed him
that he was subject to the same
world as other men.
Most everyone recalls the plot of
Macbeth" either from the book
studied in school or from some
stage production. A sketch will re-
establish it.
Wife Leads Plotters.
Macbeth, a general in the kings
army, won a great victory, as the
play opens. The king honored his
favorite subject by planning to
spend that night at his castle. I'M
mediately Macbeth and his wife re-
veal that this is the opportunity for
which they have been planning.
They will murder the king in their
own castle, and no one will dare to
suspect Macbeth, the hero.
When her husband faltered in his
scheme, Lady Macbeth forced him
to the deed by calling him coward
ly, for she knew how much he

takes some time and quite elaborate
preparations. Once the roost is To-
Gated the shooter should watch the
line of flight of the crows and build
himself blind in woods or field
in line with this fight. Then around
the blind he should stake out decoy
crows, silhouettes or stuffed imi-
tations of the black birds.
When the fight to the roost starts
in the afternoon the shooter occupies
the blind, calls Justify at the APP

kills them much as a hunter kills
waterfowl.
Crows, conservation departments
declare, are excellent eating.
