THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, JANUARY - 7, 1929. THE VICARION—By Gardner Hunting (Copyright, 1928, by Public Ledger) INSTALLMENT L T was a curious room. To eyes accustomed to outside laylight, coming in suddenly to its dim in- erfor, it seemed at first to be done in white tapestry, in extraordinary ion and extraordinary taste. Phyllis Norman stopped short just fnside the entrance and looked about or with an_oddly startled feeling, uncomfortable, and _took her of Brainard’s. He had led hout telling her what to expect. He laughed at her sudden | top on the threshold. She wondered he knew the ghostly effect of the jace, and the shock it might give | one who came into it unwarned. | Radley had been a little given to a sort_of practical joking lately. And| Phyllis did not like it me on: nothing’s going to hurt he said, crossing the room to the chairs stood grouped ex- as if for an audience to witness what was to take place here. But Phyllis was noting that even the floor was white. What was it—a z of snowy fabric under her feet? why, the whole place seemed to sort of envelope of white, walls floor, all of a plece, all of a ., continuous. chat is it, Rad?” she asked, trying the footing on the strange floor cover as she might try thin ice; and then following him slowly across. “It's my studio, of course,” returned Brainard, turning on a light at the nt and showing the whole in- r almost aglare with spotlessness. shadows the whiteness. g in the room to cast airs and the two who had just entered turned and looked | 1as wou! whert pectantly, or. s people Norman glad you could pull him away from { home!” | Brainard did not answer at once. | He secemed to have lost the sense of | her voice and his arm had fallen away | from her shoulders. He was gazing | about critically, lost in some last study {of detail like a showman on the eve of an opening. “Eh?” he said. But Phyllis did not repeat. She went instead and sat in one of the white enameled chairs and covered her eyes with her hand, to shade them from the glare—and from chance con- centration of his glance. She was hurt and thought it would be small to show it. She schooled herself in such matters, and was a little ashamed that she needed to do so. She thought perhaps self-control came naturally to really big people. A knock at the door announced the coming of others. They had followed from the Norman home in the big car. | Radley had brought Phyllis in his coupe. Brainard hastened over to let them in; and Phyllis uncovered her s to escape her mother's specu- ulative obscrvation. Mother was alto- gether too keen: she had already seen too much of what Phyllis was trying lately to hide. Dad, In they came. somely cut gray that went so ex- traordinarily well with his frosting hair; mother, a little stout now, a little slow in her adoration of her childr comically appealing in her jealousies for them; girlishly naive in her keenness for life and things; John, with his dark, regal young head and restless, affectionate eyes, his sturdy his extraordinary vul- nerability to beauty, and particularly to tha beauty of the willowy slip of a feminine thing beside him, and Carol FROM BEHIND THE ROCK CAME A GIRL—A LIVING, BREATHINC >, FRIGHTENED GIRL. in his hand-| BUUUUBOT It was a part of Carol that she said and did what she sald and did openly, and scorned pretense, even to spontane- ous affection. But Radley had shut off the light and his voice sounded with a new loudness in the dense darkness that | followed the glare. To Phyllis, too, | there was a ring in his tone that told lof deep excitement in him; she had | known that this occasion meant more to him than he had said in words. An answering thrill swept through her, and a vague unreasoning dread. “There is just one thing I want to |say to you, dear people,” Radley sald, | “and that is that none of you is to be frightened at anything he sees. It |is all perfectly within control. T can't | say that it is a new art that I am going to demonstrate to you; but in | a sense it is a new device—or the re- sults of a new device and its opera. tion. I can stop it instantly by turn- ing a key, just as you have been ac- | customed to tune in or out of a wave |length by turning a dial on your radio | receiving set. | “Five or six years ago—say in 1929— | people thought that the last word had been said, the last device perfected, in the field of reproducing mechani- | cally various manifestations of—well, of human activities—for the purpose of preserving them and exhibiting them OLNSLI® [0/ O\, detail; warmth; the smell of the salt breath of surf—Nature’s own reality thrust up here where but a moment ago steel and stone and plaster had gresumnb]y been—daylight where night ad been—reality that suddenly shook one’s faith in the tangible! No one in the room exclaimed now. No one seemed to breathe. The illu- sion, if illusion it were, was too com- plete, too overwhelming in its convinc- ing quality—sound, scent, color, depth, heat! The amazing quality of it grew upon the senses with every instant of experience, till bellef in the walls about her, in the very chair to which_ she clung, was snatched from Phyllis Nor- man. It was no fluttering, fleck-flawed film that made this vision; it was no rasp- ing, static-broken voice of the radio that brought forth these sounds. A million minutiae no celluloid had ever registered stood perfectly before her eyes, valued as only incredulity itself could value them; a thousand subtle gradations of sound yet beyond the latest refinement of known amplifying devices played upon nerves strung taut by sheer rebellion against such a mir- acle. And the feel of sun—the scent of spray! Why, one could rise and run into that world hanging there, as Phyllis Norman knew it must be, on or behind an invisible curtain of white— |at will. But a lot of things like motion ! pictures, radio, hints of discovery in | | | | slowly about her, her vision unpleas- | ently tried. Even the door, past which she ‘had come in, was white, covered | with the same material that lined the | Toom. - The studio was_high, rectangu- | lar A the £od in Xhich she stood, but, | curlously, ptively unsquared at the farther side, as if the wal's, ceiling and | floor all converged slightav toward that | end. And as she looked Inquiringly at | this feature, Radley crossed over to that | side and swept aside with his hand the half of a dividing curtain—a gauze curtain, sheer almost to transparency but which, because of the light falling | uwpon the nearer side, had screened | the space beyond it and so had ap- peared to be the limit of the.apart-| ment. | “Oh!” said Phyllis involuntarily. | For here was further material for curi- | osity. Beyond the curtain the converg- ing® walls actually drew together in a form like a funnel with its large end | toward her, and terminated in a black | spot strikingly conspicuous in the other- | wise universal whiteness, where gleamed | what locked like a great, unwinking | eve. Absurd fancy, perhaps. But the thing stered at her like a suddenly | awakened Cyclopean orb, flaring un- | lidded, grotesquely like and unlike | gomething alive, at once subtly sug- | gesting and denying mystery. “Well, T don't know what you are| staging for us, but your room gives | & visitor the most ridiculously uncanny | sensations, Rad. Are you designing to | make us comfortable here? 1 don't| know what mother will say.” | “I'm going to entertain your mother, | Phyl,” answered Brainard, smiling with that quiet new masterfulness which the | girl had steadily recognized in him as | a thing that was growing. Radley had been utterly reticent as to what he was doing, but the signs of achieve- | ment and of a corresponding inner | growth were upon hin “Your preparations suggest a show. T should call this a ghost room. Do plan to show us a,ghost?” She crossed to him and put her hand | der his arm. She loved this fiery, intense young man, whose purposes like his hard, firm-muscled young body, hard, firm, quiet, controlled—with | a sort of unswervingness about them that sometimes frightened her a little. He put his arm around her—his power- | | young arm—and held her close 10 his 'side. But his eyes were on the| great eye in its shroudlike setting vond the curtaln, end his though were mot on the sweetness of their | contact ntific study had not made Rad-! ley Brainard conform to a desiccated, bifocaled type. He was very much a | live young man. There was red blood his lean checks and in his square | hands and in his straight lips as vigor in his quiet step and in the way his hair stood into a pompadour ite custom and military brushes felded with military rigor. Light in his eyes shone from a fire within him ot an inteflectual bonfire but a constant, steady burn- | mg of vital powers besides. When he | looked at her—when he had time to look at her exclusively, and not merely through her at some visioned goal to- ard which he was thinking, his gaze iighted fires n Phyllis. She believed then, what he oftener said. that he so loved her. He had said it times enough. He had asked her to marry m, and she expected fully to do so hen June should come—unless ho ased to see her ay all before the happy day arrived “I think you are gro Radley, in one sense at le m. “You may need glasses 10 see the person who should always be nearest to you. She was not deeply resentful of his sbsorption in his work; but sometimes she was vagu pprehensive. She quelled her misgivings and was con- scious that she chose to think as she hoped that the interests that distracted him when her only scemed to absorb him because they were on the surface. “You must have something remark- le to exhibit to the assembled fam- » she said, smothering jealousies and trying to indulge his immediate pre- occupation. “We haven't foregathered in such solemnity and with such weighty purpose in many a long day &s you seem to have imbued us with. Even Carol and John are going to take time to be here. And dad! I'm g far-sighted, t,” she told herself, exquisite, little, fragile, wise- eyed, boyish, modern, who talked | frankly, judicially, startlingly, of being his wife “as soon as Rad and Phyl were out of the way”; this was Phyllis Nor- man’s family, as was, and was to be. Radley received them as if they be- longed to him. He always did; that was one of the things about Rad that stirred’ her anew every time she ob- served it. She loved him to love her dear family. For they were very dear to Phyllis, from dad, who pooh-poohed | and purred under the demonstration | of affection, to John, who resented it and lived on it. hurt dad he had lived nicely through it; it would one day hurt John, but he would live the more for it. They all exclaimed at the white room—and came over to the chairs like so many children at a Christmas tree, delighted with the prospect of novelty and surprise. It made Phyllis feel mature and widely experienced and | barely a bit forlorn. She did not rea- son just why; she was nearly 22. “But where’s Aunt Relief?” Radley | asked quickly, as they settled to the seats so obviously set for them. “She sald she would stop and come with you. “Oh, she phoned, Radley,” Mrs. Nor- man answered. “She decided to come in a cab.” “Well, I'd have brought her myself, it——" Brainard began; and then for- got what he had intended to say, per- haps what hé had intended to do for the aunt who had been mother to him since his boyhood, as he adjusted the gauze curtain and softened the light again. And then Aunt Reltef Brainard her- self opened the door and joined them, | looking enough like her nephew, who was the apple of her eye, to forepicture what he would be when he was her age; but as typically an old maid as a Brainard could be anything typical. She had an appraising eye, but she could palpitate. She was as slender as a misses’ model; but at 55 played Chopin on a piano that was not auto- matic, and adored vaudeville. “Well, Radley,” she said, as she glided across to them—Aunt Relief had | learned to glide before young females strode, or even slouched—*“well, Radley, what shocking thing are you going to exhibit to us here in this—this | morgue2” They all laughed, greeting a new- comer’s humor hospitably. But Phyl- ! yes wandered about the shadow- room again. ‘Well,” said Radley, burning with tm- patience to begin what he had to be- | gin, “I haven’t any orchestra to play an overture. Besides, there hasn’t been There | any score written for this piece vet.| But Il begin showing you what I have to show, and then lecture to you | about, it afterward—if it needs a lec- | ture.” | “Gratitude, Rad!” murmered Carol, | sliding down in her chair till her thin little flanks rested on the bare forward edge and the tender nape of her meck ion its back. | “Youre very conmsiderate, young | man,” said Mr. Norman, “May I smoke in here?” *“Of course,” returned Brainard. And | he waited, ‘with his hand hovering | about the keys of the lights, while | young John also took advantage of the | permisston. . nderstand ft—yor're going | “As—I to show—us a new—-" Mr. Norman s pufiing his words out with fra-, grant smoke. “Yes,” supplied Brainard, “some- presently | thing so entirely new that you are the | | first people not directly implicated who * will have seen it. |you a little, I thi deal. It's hard for me, after working 5o long over it, to know just what a normal, fresh reaction to 1t will be. | “Gurgh! Lovely!” droned _Carol's | youthful contralto. She looked like a It's going to startle her particular rose was of a leathern young sophisticate indulging in sweet girlishness, Phyllis sometimes won- dered what she really was; it was im- possible that any 19-year-old could be o supersaturated with guile as Carol scemed—or so artless as the other glimpses you got of her. Probably she was neither, and was only wise enough to pique your psychoanalytic instinct. She sat now wih her hand frankly lying in young John's——!:‘ot holding his. | | If the world had | ink—maybe a good | the psychic fleld, theories of vibration, and so forth, were full of promise— full of prophecy, I might say. It seemed to me that we were on the verge of much greater things. I gradu- ated from college in June, 1929—just six years ago this coming Spring—and I could think of nothing eise but de- velopment and combination of the various means of gathering and trans- mitting and perpetuating life!” He paused as if to quell a tide of emotion, and his emphasis on his final word flung his feeling over them like a spell, “Six years!” he went on, after a moment. “It is now 1935—and I think I have brought some of the prophecies a step toward fulfillment. I am not going to explain what I am showing you till you have seen it. I think you may be less impressed by what you see at first than you will be after the explanation—because you are so used to discounting marvels. But you will presently recognize that there is some- thing more here than mechanically recorded sights and sounds. It is this that may startle you; I am frank to say that it terrified me at first!” He paused to moisten dry lips. “But re- member, I control it. Il stop the moment any of you ask me to. 74 “My soul, Radley!” interrupted Carol. “What manner of sorcery are you go- ing to introduce us to? If you don’t live up to the sensations you are grn- ducing in me at this moment, I sl mildly protested Phyllis’ be a blighted woman!” “Carol!” mother, as she always protested at Carol's unheltered speech. “Your prologue is great, Rad,” sald | John with a light laugh. “The beauty lof it is that it seems so unstudied and spontaneous and yet creates such | prodigious suspense.” “It will take some Radley.” Mr. Norman was clearly caught by anticipation. “Let's have it.” “I hope it’s nothing improper,” in- terjected Aunt Relief. And the curi- ous part of it was that she was quite sincere, She had come to her nephew’s California home, as she often said, | because California was a place to slide down life’s last hill gracefully. But she retained some of the graces of a childhood of half a century ago. Phyllis found herself grlp?nm the arms of her chair. She relaxed; it was absurd! Why was she taking this thing so seriously? One would have thought she recognized some menace here by that mueh-explotted power— alleged to be feminine—called intuition. ;Om would think that some moral { boundary, say, was indeed about to be oversm;fi)ed—for Phyllis had begun to | live while moral boundaries and preju- { dices were still standardized. “Hurry, Rad,” urged Carol impa~ tiently. ~ “I haven’t had such a lovely isensation as this since I can remem- iber. And nothing bores one like a ' sensation merely sustained.” | “Very well, tmevi—look,” said Brain- {ard scargely above a whisper, as if jawareness of his spectators were drop- i ping out of his mind. | Phyllis heard the soft click of some | button or key, as a startling mecha- inism_was tripped. Out of the darkness !on the farther side of the room the | white curtain there began to be visible 'in a soft, rosy glow. The light was ! singularly luminous. Its source was | plainly at a center that corresponded to the position of the great eye she had seen behind the hanging fabric. The curtain itself became invisible as the light grew with a sudden flare to an intensity of red radiance that struck | fie lving up to, one could wet one’s feet, pick up the shells, feel the rock's cool shadow, breathe the reek of the sea—therel Right there where the 'wall of Radley Brainard's studio reared its solld bulk! Or—or was she dreaming—had she dreamed? Where was the real reality? But she forgot even to question. From behind that warm rock, glisten- ing in the sun, with an entirely un- dramatic scurry, came a girl—a living, breathing, frightened girl—her bare feet dark with clinging sand, a strand of hair unbeautifully dragged wet across her face, her hands clawing. heedless of grace or hurt, at the great rfiughf.sbor;e,d hdex'ha cl:d‘ Ll'nhn scant slip of a fade g suit, her eyes fl‘l?l“ with unstudied terror of pur- sul Her fright reached out and caught the watcher by the heart, Prlghb:fmt its counterfeit! A young man followed her, the brute of him showing heavy-muscled shoulders through unaccustomed tai- loring, his face distorted with an in- imitable mixture of ruthless delight and crude pretense at propitiation. As he caught her where she stopped at bay, she turned and struck at him with clenched fist that reached his lip in a strangely knowing blow—that had force enough in it to bare his teeth and make him wince from it. Effect uncalculated! It threw a blaze of re- vealing light upon the character of the cornered feminine thing that could strike like that! Spurt of innate ferocity—like a cat's lightning clawing! But he caught her by the extended wrist, his fingers sinking into her flesh, his blackened nails a vivid detail against its whitening, blood-striped tex- ture, and he twisted her arm till a sob was from her that wrung the nerves of lisleners. A hoarse, rasping, toneless breath that was like the very extract of despairing fear and pain! “Oh! Oh—oh! Don't! My God— Waddy! Stop! I'll—oh, Waddy, for the love o'—" She went down on her white knees, her satin suoulders writhing, to re- lieve the twisted arm. “Thought you'd made a clean get- away—what?” the man demanded, her down upon the sand. But Mrs. Norman suddenly screamed. “Oh—John!—Radley! What—Oh, stop him! I—where—oh, stop!” There was the sharp click of an elec- tric switch; the light dropped instantly from the tone of day to a rose tint. The figures of the man and the girl on '.h; sand grayed suddenly and went out. Sounds hushed, rock and shore melt- ed away info nothing. Darkness. Then the soft glow of artificial light in the white room! Illusion? The mind of Phyllis Nor- man had forgotten to make concession to it. What she had witnessed had not been acting—she had not listened to dialogue. What she had seen and heard had been life itself! With a terrorizing hot rankness upon it! She was breath- less with it—her heart throbbing pain- fully; fear, pity, horror had left no room in her for remembrance of self and circumstances. She came back with a qualm of nausea to knowledge that she still sat in the white chalr, in the whité room. A sensation like that of looking from: a car window at a parallel moving train till one belleves himself moving—and béing dropped back into dizey stiliness when the other train 1 vanishes. Like that, multiplied to pain! They were all as much dazed by the sudden cessation of the scene as they had been enthralled by it. Carol was A;.‘t{‘z_ first to ‘supenk. e you could stop it, Radley!” lefll:y Brainard laughed.

It's not pictures—nor radio! It's not—-" “No,” sald Brainard quietly, but th a low ring of triumph in his voice; 's not pictures—nor radio. ateg,b:zndchbog:‘—c long step!” “But—su ngs, Radley!” gasped Mrs. Norman. “They're not fit—" She stopped and stared back at the white curtain, incredulous. “Don’t say you're trying to guard my ¥ innocence, dear,” murmured Carol. “I traded it in long ago for the new_model.” “But, Radley,” sald John Norman slowly, “I don’t get this. Are you— hoaxing us?” ‘'Ot course!” exclaimed Carol. “He’s got somebody back there who is a i like heat into her eyes. Her mother cried out with a sharp little exclama- tion of distress. But almost at once the Ilight diffused and glowed with a pleasant softness that was like a balm to the first shock. A slow, rhythmic sound made itself heard. It was like the soft brush of the wind in trees—no, like waves on might have attended to [Cecil Bruner rosebud, Carol did; and | the beach—Summer waves, lazy, warm, soothing.

But—-" She paused, as if brash cer- tainty wavered. “There's nobody back there, Carol,” Brainard answered. He had come over toward Phyllls and was lighting a cigarette. To Phyllis the spell that had held her was slow in dissipating. “But somebody had to act that scene,” protested Carol. “Yes,” returned Brainard slowly; “but the people who acted that scene are—dead!” “What? Well, then it is pictures!” Carol turned again toward the curtain. “And 1if it is, then it certainly—is pletures!” “But _Redley!” exclaimed Phyllis, Anding her voice at last. “That shore —the surf—the sun! 1It's life—that you turn on and off, as' you like!” (16 Be Contiided Tomortow.), dropping to a knee the better to twist CLOSING HOURS FOR CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS 11 om. day befors oublication For Sunday. 5:30 o.m.
