cigarette under his heel, and pushed the
apartment bell. His location flashed through
his mind once more - he was at 48th Street
and Eighth Avenue, with Times Square and
millions of protecting people block away.
He heard her footsteps as she came to
the door. and quickly shifted the carton to
both hands. The door swung open and
he threw the box solidly against the frail
little body. The old lady dropped like a
stone. He stepped over her with slight
shudder.
In HER bedroom, he went methodically to
work, emptying dresser drawers and boxes
and shaking out clothes His elation kept
down the hysteria boiling up in him, and
his search was rewarded when the little
jewel box tumbled out of the folds of an
old satin dress and spilled the brooch on
the floor.
For just second his fanatical gaze
gloated over it; then he scooped it up and
stuffed it into his pocket. But just as franti-
cally he took it out again. That wouldn't
do. With snap of his fingers he had it; he
loosened his necktie and unbuttoned the
top two buttons of his shirt He dropped the
chain and brooch over his head. and it hung
warmly against his flesh. Moving out of the
room he unfastened and readjusted his tie.
He had to get the jacket he had folded on
the bottom of the carton. As he entered the
kitchen, the old lady groaned and stirred
from her position among the cans. which

A Short Short Story

TsE whole thing was snap. All you had

ing was over. For three years you had
carefully watched an old lady. Why?
Because she had a diamond brooch strung
on silver chain. and you knew the value
of that lump of carbon. Since you wanted
it badly enough, you were extremely careful;
barring the unexpected, you would have it
in matter of minutes.
And the props needed for this perfect
crime were so few and simple: A white
apron, a carton of canned goods, and a
dirty shirt. Total cost -$2.47! Sweet,

and finally the elevator started up. Then
he sided over to the service staircase and
started quietly going up. He quickly climbed
four fights - then froze as the elevator
went past on the return trip. He set the
carton down and gathered his breath. Not
much chance of anyone stumbling on him
here; and if they did - we'll he looked just
like hundreds of delivery boys.
Three quick, deep drags on a cigarette
to straighten out his nerves, then he lifted
the carton to his shoulder and climbed the

Nora Vain VIII Relate Germany
Reaction To Post War Conditions

Nora Vain, who went to Ger
many for the Atlantic Monthly
and whose articles are appearing in
that magazine, will be the third
speaker in the Wyandotte Civic
Lecture series when she speaks on
Revival in Germany" at pm,
February IA at Roosevelt high
school.
Miss Vain returned from Ger
many in December after spending
several months talking to Germans
and travelling through the Balkans
and Austria. Her chief interests
are the everyday German, the way
he lives, and his reactions to pres
ent conditions.
From 1884 to 1888 Miss Vain and
her husband lived in Germany,
Austria and .Czechoslovakia. Be-
coming interested in the rise of
Hitler. she made friends among all
classes of Germans and for a time
lived with family of grape grow
ers in the wine-making region.
Her daughter attended German
schools for time and worked with
the youth groups.
When Miss Vain and her hus-
band decided to leave Germany she
realized she had been the object
of a careful watch by the Gestapo
and that all three manuscripts for
her book Reaching For the Stars"

pie as she could list on a sheet of
paper if she would agree to write
nothing political about Germany.
She refused.
During the war she administered
the Kappa Kappa Gamma fund for
homeless and refugee children in
Europe and since the war has con-
tributed all her earnings from
books and lecture tours to this
fund.
A Quaker by birth and educa-
ton, she had many friends in Ger
many and a real affection for the
German people. Because of this her
picture of Germany is all the more
interesting.
The lecture is sponsored by the
Wyandotte Association of Women's
clubs. Music will be provided by
Mrs. F. w. FroStic and Aarne Ok
konen. Ushers and ticket takers
will be in charge of the Senior
