He felt a faint resurgence of his customary en- editor, who leaped after news like a vance statement direct from Dr. Cava- naugh. He has identified the body as days, flashed out of the darkness. Res- olutely. he summoned the old habit of concentration. But it was easier to ig- nore the world outside—the room with its voices and bells and clattering con- fusion—tban t3 blot out that other, in- ner confusion which made his thoughts a glamour of yuestionings. He hammered out & lead—jerked out the sheet and tore it up—flung the wadded scraps on the floor in the gen- eral direction of the waste paper bas- ket—and began again. His fingers pounded rapidly, steadily, clackety- clack, pause, clackety-clack on the keys of the battered typewriter. As each sheet of copy paper was whipped out of the carriage, with “more to cum” typed at the bottom, a copy boy at his elbow whisked it out of his hand and ran with it to the city desk, waited for Jimmie's rapid perusal, and ran again to the copy desk, where he sent it hurtling down the tube to the com- posing room. The city editor bent over room, arranging a lay-out—Cavanaugh, Don Elisworth, Sheila O'Shay. Peter himself took the last sheet from the typewriter and laid it on the city desk. Jimmie looked up. his desk, with a man from the art vocabulary on a misplaced initial in a two-inch item; but when by a jug- gling of captions the mayor of the city was labeled “Bank Embezzler,” all that he had said was, “Oh, dear!” “You look all shot to pleces,” he add- ed. “Go out and get a good lunch and then walk around for half an hour. Here!” He thrust two silver dollars across the desk to Peter. “The lunch is on the house.” He had remembered which the members of the local room staff were likely to lunch on a sand- wich and five-cent coffee. “Thanks,” Peter said indifferently. “I'm all right.” “Do as I tell you!” snapped the city editor. “And your follow story will be_page one, and sign it.” Peter drifted past the desk where the society editor was indignantly, though in cautious tones, discussing the shortcomings of Jimmie with the water- front man. “Mrs. Ames is one of the most prominent society women in town—the Van Alstyne Ameses, you Kknow.” The waterfront man did not know, but grunted sympathetically. “When she wants her picture in that it was the day before pay-day, ons time In his life he had written a good story—and did nok onte, Muff Sleeves in London.

The familiar din of the Jocal room typewriters, the shouts of “copy boy,” the “bling” of telephone bells, which usually were unregarded elements of a normal atmosphere, smote his ear as separate sounds, dis- tinctly as if he were hearing them for the first time. All this rushing to and fro seemed futile and unimpor- tant, like the scurrying of mice across ® barn floor. What did it matter, any- way, whether the Herald beat the Rec- ord by an edition? The city editor caught sight of Jim- mie’s tall, angular figure over the head of the society editor, who had just succeeded in claiming his attention. “Talk to me about it later,” he said brusquely. “But she’s on the telephone—" the society editor expostulated. “I don't care if the Angel Gabriel 15 on the telephone!

We're holding the presses for you.” Peter thrust the face of Barbara out of his mind.
