Her arm frightened. Her hand
moved in gentleness from his tenn
pie down along the thin line of his
jaw. I couldn't have either. It
was always you. It was because you
had been there that I had to come
back. loved you awfully that sum-
mer and have always since. I
thought just being here But it
wouldn't have been any good. The
night Kate and I came-the cabin
was just as I had remembered it.
But had no feeling about it until I
found your sweater, this sweater,
and knew it was you who was
there"
THAT old sweater. It was new
the summer you were here. You
remembered"
'.I remembered everything, how
you had your hair cut short so it
wouldn't wave, your hands, could
have drawn them from memory
your crooked smile that disapproves
of me, the way you walk, all the
things that make you-you."
"Oh, Gay! You make mel can't
say" His love for her, SO long held
in check, broke through the re-
straints he had set. Logic and COM
mon sense were lost in a rushing
flood of tenderness, passion, relief.
They had this time together, now,
tonight. The past was blotted out
and the future obscure. They were
together on the small secure island
of the present. ''I've wanted you
So" he said in shaken phrases. 1--WE
ached to hold you like this.

and in accordance with tribal ira
ditions. He'd been surprised but
touched and pleased, though he hat
ed the fuss. He hadn't realized,
then, that she was substituting the
symbols of marriage for something
that was lacking, the one thing that
made it right. That was before he
had watched her grow more and
more remote, not sharing her
thoughts with him, making excuses
for not being alone with him, shut
ting him off behind a wall of light
mockery through which he could see
her but could not touch her, not ac-
tualIy, not the Gay herself, whom
he loved.

MARY COHAN WEEDS ANOTHER PLAYER
Daughter of Geo. M. Conan ElOpes With an AccOrdi-
 on Player This Time

r Doylestown, Pa., March 6-(UP)- Mary Conan, estranged from her fa- nous father, George M. Conan, ever since she eloped with @ banjo player 12 years ago, was married here today to George Rankin, an accordion player.
 The ceremony was performed by @ justice of the peace. The couple had obtained a marriage license Friday - but under Pennsylvania law had to wait three days, so the two returned to New York last week end.
 The couple came here right after their performance in New York night club last night but the cerc- mony was held up until telegraphic confirmation from Reno was obtain ed on, the brides divorce from her first husband.
 Miss Conan still wore her eye mascara and other makeup from her night club appearance while witnesses described the bridegroom as tired and little disheveled."
 The couple was accompanied here by Helen Meany, Greenwich, Conn. newspaper woman, and James H. Burnside, New York flyer, who act- ed as the only witnesses.
 "Who's going, to tell your father?" Miss Conan was asked after the cer- emony.
 My God, that's Jimmy's job," she answered nervously and declined to comment further. She said she would have statement for the New York papers when she returned this afternoon to "fix up the family af- fair, so they'll understand"

Stoneham, Mass, March 6.-(UP) Seven Stoneham youths, including two sets of brothers, allegedly con- fessed to lice today that they had set 13 building fires, two of which caused 5000 total damage, and a score of grass fires since last sum- mer.

would have been fit comrade for Dr. Johnson, Van Loon gets angry at only two things-stupidity and intolerance. He loves his creature comforts, adores good food, and en- joys cooking it. He speaks 10 lan- guages and dialects and writes the English which he learned when he was 20 with classic simplicity. He speaks it with a touch of Dutch brogue. He's good enough at card tricks to have been admitted to the American Magicians' Society, and he loves to fool people with them.
 Though he has been for 30 years an American and is well satisfied by that, he remains something of the best type of European cosmo- politan. His work for Finnish relief would take all the time of a lesser man, but Van Looms tremendous energy has enabled him to write "The Story of Democracy" at the same time, putting into every line a big measure of the steam-pressure under which he lives.
 Questioning everything at every point, Van Loon has large faith ill man, looking toward a future beyond our horizons.
 Tt took us one million years to learn to use our hind legs" he says Tt may take another million be- fore we can learn to use our brains"

SHENANDOAH IS
 STILL IN DANGER
More Coal Mine Cave-Ins Are Taking Place in
 Other Sections

Shenandoah, Pa, March 6 - (UP)--Coal mine cave-inS which already have damaged quarter of this city of 22,000 threatened today to spread to two other sec- tions.
 The cave-ins that started ap- proximately 1000 feet below the northeastern section of the town on Monday, spread to the south section today.
 Mining experts who risked their lives exploring the labyrinth of mine tunnels beneath the town said that a new cave-in was immi- nent in an area above the spot where the Philadelphia and Read ing Coal and Iron company, worlds largest anthracite produc- CT, has extensive diggings.
 Another cave-in, they said, ap- peared to be starting on the fringe of the 24-block area already affected by the wide settlement of earth, rock and coal.
 William Maximonis, one of the CARS4 Uo W44V WOAAV bVAOW 4dob AAA6AAt and again today, reported that timberS in some sections of the mines t,'slt have been abandoned in the south section were rotting He said their collapse would affect @ 1O-block area.
 Other experts said the same sit- uation prevailed in the extreme northeast section, where mine was abandoned 30 years ago. Un- less the supporting timbers are re- inforced, they said, a collapse oi some 40 to 45 feet will result. They added a fear that there appeared little that could be done to bolster the weak supports.
 overwhelming Assures in tht areas already affected gave rise tt fears that many of the damaged buildings might collapse. The Go. zinsky building was condemned when an inspection revealed | was near collapse.
 With the imminence of new cave-ins there was some belle, the earth conceivably could swal. low up the entire town.

OA1 kJdSC Q VI OOOdy OCAIEVCAo
 Nobody is 50 well qualified as Van Loon to write about Democracy. He is Democracy in the flesh, and what flesh! He was born in Hol- land, and he has contempt for the gaudy imperial ambitions of big countries that only those people know who come from countries too small to have any such ambitions. He has Dutch bluntness and Dutch practicality. He looks no more like a professor of history than an ele- phant looks like an aard-vark. But he has been working at this history thing for long time. When he was 10, he set about writing "A Uni versal Encyclopedia of all Historical Knowledge" He has been working at 1t ever since. He's 57.
 HAS WRITTEN
 MANY BOOKS
 He has been in America almost all his life, and is as proud of his citizenship as he is of his Dutch origins. He covered the Russian revolution of 1905 for American news services. He returned to the United States to lecture in history at several universities. He went back to Europe to cover the World War, and then came back to teach history again. He wrote for rewspa- pers. He lectured He wrote books. The prodigious energy that matches the n1asSiveneSs of his body will never let him rest, and day be- ginning at a. m. and ending at l a. m. is nothing to him.
 The books that have come pour ing out of his typewriter began to flow first with "The Fall of the {. Dutch Republic" in 1913. It has continued without ebbing ever since. In 1921 he became famous when his "The Story of Mankind" took the country by storm. It was written in a new way, illustrated with draw ings which at first sight looked am- ateurish, but which on closer study proved full of meat. "The Story of Mankind" was a children's book Or was 1t? Adults bought it for their kids, but the kids found they couldn't get it away from their par ents. Lewis Mumford acutely said, "It is one of those great books in which the words are for children ard the meanings for men,"
 So it has been with all his later work. Written in simple terms, yet without sacrifice of authenticity, success has followed success. There s,were "The Story of the Bible" "The @Story of Wilbur the Hat" 'Toler- ance," America" Life of Peter Stuyvesant," Man, the Miracle Maker" R. R. The Life of Rem brandt van Rijn," Wan Looms Ge- ography," An Indiscreet Itinerary" An Elephant Up Tree." and "The Arts" Nearly all were tremendous popular success. Our Battle" an indignant arraignment of European dictatorships, tumbled from his red hot typewriter in seven days.
