86 THE EVENING STORY The Solution. AY BURKE had read somewhere that “poise was the ability to smile calmly in the face of your tormentor.” The words came to her now as she sat acing her acquaintance, Mrs. Powers. ot gllt Mrs. Powers meant to torment. ndeed, she was quite unaware that she doing mores than to advise and nsole. ”"Yuu see, I've always known Ambrose and Taresa,” she said, in her husky, ll-throated way. “I call them by f:flr first names because I always have fnown them and known all about them, which is more. Now, my dear, talk fbout cats and dog: o= May smiled. “They are my husband’s | father and mother. I've always expect- | #d to have them come and live with me pme time. PFrank explained it all when married him. He is their only child, nd old people must be looked after by jome one.” “It's too bad,” sighed Mrs. Powers. PYou'll never see another happy min-| te. You don't know them as well as| do. Of course, I suppose you do know fhem a little, but doubtless they've al- ways appeared at their best when you | were around. And then you don't live | In the same town with them. I did for | long time—next door. My dear. they ;egm to quarrel at breakfast and they keep it up all day. Theyve always fought and they always will.” «“Nevertheless, I shall be able to get plong with them. They're Frank's father and mother, you see.” This was definite enough, but Mrs. Powers was pot to be convinced. She stared a little at the imperturbable younger woman. “Well, I'm sorry for you. You've got our work cut out for you for the next n years,” she said as she arose to go. At lunch Frank said: “I telephoned | dad that I'd meet him and mom at the 7 o'clock train. Theyll need a bit of . something light. And you'll hat their room is warm?” He paused. “May, dearest, 1 expect you're going to need a lot of patience, but I don't see what else I can do. I haven t money enough to keep the dear old folks in their hor';m n(nk:i of course we 't cut loose and go there. ’.3‘11 know, dear. Itgs all right. It's the right thing to do. Well get along, pever fear.” “They—they've never agreed the way you and I do,” poor Frank said. Mey smiled. “Few married folks do. But they may love each other just the same. And they're getting old. % “Yes, that accounts for a lot of it mitted. "T';‘lk:‘:t‘gvenlng Mr. and Mrs. Burke, sr., prrived.

Mother!” groaned Frank, but his words were lost in the rising uproar, and, rising hastily from the table, he fled, leaving r May to wrestle as best she col with the ue. lsuny passed through several phases of feeling—amusement, pity and blank apprehension of the future. Leaving the old people at the table, she arose pnd went upstairs to the farthest cor- ner of the house. After an hour she came back down fo find Mother Burke washing the dish- es, her beautiful old face wet and crum= pled with misery. “May! We're a pair of old—v-vul- tures,” she sniffed, “to behave like this the first morning. But we've always done it, and I guess we.always will. But we didn’t use to get mad the way ‘we do now. Ambrose is so het up that he’s gone to walk.” ’ “Maybe he'll walk it off,” soothed Mt “It’s too bad. You might such a lot of comfort together.” “It's worse than having a wen,” Bobbed Mother Burke. “The least little thing and we're started. And neither of us seems able to give up till—till we've sald every last thing we can think of.” May laughed. “You old dear!” she paid. But she thought: “This is a serious matter. I must think of something. It's simply that they must have an outlet for their tem- pers. If they could concentrate on pomething or somebody—let me see!” ‘That afternoon May went downtown take! || for years to help clean and stimulate Bnd came home with a large parcel un- der her arm. Dinner was not a success atmospherically, and afterward in the living room May provided a large, shin- ing, red and black checkerboard. “Come on, Frank, it's time for our game,” she said. They sat down and ranged the checker men upon the board, May with slightly unsteady fingers. It was a ven- ture—she had told Frank that it was— still one had to do something. If her scheme carried all would be well; if it didn't— “I don't know a thing about this,” whispered Frank. “Never mind, neither do I,” whis- pered back May. They bungled through a few moves while Father Burke drew near to watch. Soon the old man was direct- ing Frank. Then Mother Burke drew near and directed May. The game be- came an exciting contest. May's cheeks warmed with interest and she tried not to laugh when Frank gave her a wink which denoted that the scheme was working. “Frank, you're no player. Let me play a game with May,” ordered Father Burke. Relieved, Frank arose and the old man sat down. A moment later May was called to the telephone and she asked Mother Burke to take her place. An hour later Frank and May peeped into the living room. The old pair sat absorbed, fighting for dear lives. “It was an inspiration!” whispered May's ear. had to do something, Frank; they'll fight so hard over the checker- board that they can be agreeable to each other the rest of the time.” “I understand you're getting along beautifully with Frank's folks,” Mrs. Powers said to May weeks later. “Ev- erybody is remarking how peaceable an old pair they are.

JERSEY SLAYER OF BOY IS SENTENCED TO CHAIR Kudzinowski's = Defense Counsel Plahs Appeal From Death Ver- dict on Insanity Plea. By the Associated Press. JERSEY CITY, N. J, Janfary 17— Peter Kudzinowski yesterday was sen- tenced to die in the electric chair in State’s prison during the week of Feb- ruary 24 for the murder of Joseph Sto- relli, New York East Side boy, in the Jersey City meadows. The 25-year-old wandering workman from Scranton, Pa., sat unmoved as Judge Charles M. Egan pronounced sentence. Kudzinowski was found guilty of first degree murder by a jury last Friday after a three-day trial. The jury's verdict carried no recom- mendation of mercy and Judge Egan’s verdict was mandatory. Alexander Simpson, defense counsel, said he would appeal to the Court of Errors and Appeals. This appeal will automatically stay execution of today's sentence until the State’s highest court shall have passed on the case. Simpson contended that Kudzinowski, who, police said, confessed the murders of the Storelli boy, Julia Modzianowska, Jersey City girl, and Harry Quinn, Scranton youth, is insane. -— Modern electric vans for delivery of letters and parcels are to be used by the London post office. this new car will attract? ‘VEILED PARSON’ BACK IN LIMELIGHT AGAIN Reason for Moody Shielding Face Has Never Been Established. YORK, Me, (#)—"Handkerchief” Moody, the seventeenth century preacher whose exploits furnished the inspira- tion for Nathaniel Hawthorne's famous “The Minister’s Black Veil,” still lives in the memory of this city's church- men. He was conjured out of the past recently when the First Congregational Church, his original charge, effected a change in pastors, Rev. Walter H. Millinger of Pitts- burgh, Pa., has succeeded to the pulpit of the famous clergyman of colonial days, but it is not likely that he will follow his predecessor’s example of hid- ing his face from his congregation with a black silk handkerchief. Hawthorne's tale has the minister wearing a black veil because of a sec- ret sin, but no reason has ever been discovered for Moody's idiosyncrasy. Records have been searched in vain and the common explanation given those who visit the site of his activities is that the parson received a disfiguring wound In battle which he desired to hide from the world. It is well known that “Handkerchief” Moody was a valiant soldier in the early days of the Nation and this explanation has been accepted as logical. At any rate, his name appears on a tablet in the church whose affairs Mr. Millinger will direct. PLANE REACHES PANAMA. Flight From Miami Made by Is- lands and Central America.
