DAILY SHORT STORY- POISON IN JEST By Mary Faith Geary. HEN they bumped them in the Saganitz gang they did it gracefully. With them it wasn't a question of staging 8 nmoisy rubout; they reasoned that s quiet demise, quiet and ominous, could put the fear of eternity and Lou Saganitz into a mug’s head easier than a spray of tommy-gun shells. Among Lou's elosest friends only one knew how the bumping was ac- complished. That one was old Doc Smith, and he'd devised the scheme. His flabby lips were often wont to recede over tooth- less gums at his own cleverness, for nobody had ever traced his method. “Autopsies showed nothing. Nobody could prove that Lou’s victims weren’t stricken by heart failure—or, for that matter, sun stroke. The hitch was that the poison was effective only on sunny days. Doc Smith had taken advantage of the similarity between a certain substance | | —available in nature abundantly—and the chief elements of the blood stream. The substance was made from the green coloring in leaves. A few ounces in a drink and the stage was set. The next time the victim strolled in the sunlight strange grapplings and assaults took place among the mole- cules in his blood. A little lapse of time—then the hearse. But—the poison was effective only In sunlight and for only four days. * K K X CAME the day when Lou decided Mink Sabbath must die. As col- lector for Lou's chain of bookie joints Mink had appeared too frequently with alibis that business was awful. Lou didn't believe business was aw- ful. From the way the papers were playing up the races he was convinced the public was definitely horsey. Then why the drop in the returns from the bookies? Lou’s mental fin- ger pointed at Mink and Doc Smith gurgled in glee. The night that Mink was feted by Lou Saganitz marked a new high in the mob's celebrations. Lou reasoned that Mink's offense was great; his death feast should be in keeping with his offense, and Lou rented an entire | night club, complete with entertain- ment. So Mink Sabbath was duly dosed— and that night it rained. Doc Smith repaired to Lou Saganitz's penthouse through the downpour. The party guests had reeled out of the club in various directions, Mink himself hail- ing a cab to take him to his hotel. Lou peeked out at the darkened sky through the tall windows of his pent- house. “It'll clear up tomorow,” he opined. | Smith joined him at the window, gazed in turn at the falling sheets of rain. “If it doesn't,” he said, “we'll still have three days.” But two of those days passed under & veritable deluge of rain. The wind blew a steady northeast gale; dirty cloud shreds rushed across the tips of the skyscrapers; not once did the sun appear. Now Lou Saganitz was by no means a patient man. He had determined that Mink Sabbath should be rubbed | and rubbed he must be. Doc Smith came to Lou at the latter's urgent order. Mink was peacefully asleep. 1 “You know any other way of erasin’ a guy s0 it can't be traced in an autopsy?” “No,” quavered the doc. “You better find a way,” Lou in- formed him. “I ain't waitin’ for a | stretch of clear weather to throw another party for a guy I'm gettin’ rid of. And be- sides, banquets cost money.” He pointed a finger in emphasis. “I want Mink in the mor- gue tomorrow.” Doc Smith gulped. “If you could have some of the boys—" “No shootin’, either,” Lou vetoed. “I'm not havin' anything traced to me. But I want that guy gone. And if they have to trace it w you, I'll be sorry for you. ‘T MIGHT have been all to Lou, but |~ it was just the beginning to the doc. | One day of grace. If it didn't clear by tomorrow— It didn't. Dawn the next day was & mocke! | do the night in darkness. And Doc Smith was desperate enough to call on Mink Sabbath personally. Behind him came a moving man, bearing a tall, boxed package. “How d'you feel?” the doc asked | protest. “You're looking bad, awfully How's your diet? Here, take off your shirt.” he had worded the violent protest he felt. The flunkey undid the package sun-ray lamp. Doc Smith lost no time in getting the device plugged in | the wall. An hour under the lamp, and under the hopeful glare of Doc Smith’s col- orless eyes, and Mink was peacefully | asleep. Another hour and the doc gave up in fearful despair. The only result from the lamp was the slow isppeannce of what soon would be a healthy tan on Mink's back. He left him there, the doc did, and went in supplication to Lou. Lou use of those guns he was so reluctant to call upon. He swung the door open—then his | jaw dropped in amazement. Lou Sag- | anitz was smiling at him; grinning, in | fact. He arose from his desk and ex- tended a hairy hand. “Brilliant!” he said. Doc Smith allowed his hand to be | shaken. He still couldn’t believe either his eyes or his ears. “How?” he asked blankly. Lou snorted. “You don’t need to act dumb with me, doc! I got a kick out of the way you made sure of him. The sun-ray lamp was genius enough, but getting a lamp with a short cir- cuit was a masterpiece!™ The old doc gulped. “Good old rain,” Lou continued. “One of Minks windows was leaking. ‘When he got up to turn off the lamp he stepped in the puddle of water. Electrocuted!” Lou guffawed pleas- | antly. “We’'ll send flowers, of course.” (Copyright, 1935.) SUES FOR $10,150 Woman Says Horse Was Wrong Side of Road.

It was & bright office—flowers everywhere— and Mrs. Lancaster, a relic of former loveliness, in severe black crepe that made her eyes seem all the bluer, her hair all the grayer, got up from her desk with hand outstretched. Betsy sald, shyly, taking the chair which the older woman indicated. “You're very kind to help me, Mrs. Lancaster.” She sat there then, her fingers tight on her leather purse— a lovely, blond little person even in the worn sealine jacket, the black flannel dress with its starched white collar, and the cheap felt hat with a perky white feather run through the ribbon at the back. Mrs. Lancaster “Not at all, my dear. a darling. Like most women—old and young—I find him firresistible.” She paused for a moment. “I see you're looking at my walls. Those are pictures of little girls I helped to put across during the debutante season last year. That's Eugenie Stanford there. Yes, wearing the white lace dress and carrying the old-fashioned bouquet. Her father's a commander in the Navy. That was the Stanfords’ first year stationed in Washington and | they didn't know many people. Most of my little girls are from the con- gressional, diplomatic and service groups new to the Capital.” Betsy had been looking at the photo- graphs. She had never seen so many. The walls were covered with lovely, radiant girls in their debut gowns. All were autographed with some affectionate phrase for Mrs. Lancaster. Betsy wondered if she ;chnmed for her services, and Mrs. Lancaster, as if reading her mind, said: “I usually charge $750 for the sea- son, arranging teas, dinners, recep- tions, luncheons—seeing that Initial calls and party calls are made. All that. In other words, I do the work and my little girls go to their own functions just as if they were a guest instead of hostess. They have nothing to worry them.” An hour later, as Betsy was leaving | the hotel after having learned how many cards to leave when calling, when to turn down corners, how to answer invitations, how to introduce groups and individuals correctly and a few pointers in tact, graciousness and etiquette—Mrs. Lancaster loaned Betsy a book on etiquette and told | her she must study it thoroughly— she saw Jennie Travers in her dull- red, streamlined roadster. Jennie was | caught in the late Connecticut avenue | traffic before the building and was not accepting the delay any too good- naturedly. Betsy noticed that her coat was ermine and that she was smartly groomed and gowned. A rich young person whom working girls stare after and envy. Jennie pulled up to the curb and leaned out of the window. “Hello, Betsy! I was just down to the hospital to see that brother of | | yours! hanging from the ceiling and his | Even with his broken leg head all done up like a Turk's, he is still the best-looking thing I've been fortunate enough to stare upon! Get | in, worm!” Betsy, climbing into the car beside Jennie, remembered the afternoon she and John Storm had been in Harpers Ferry. Jennie had come thinking she was involved in Raoul's murder, | wanting to help, and had spent the | afternoon talking to mother and father and Terry. Terry had said afterward: “She's a peach, Betsy. If I wasn't so nuts about Sonip I could | bear up under a date with her!” “I went to see Mrs. Lancaster,” Betsy said, hugging her jacket close around her slim waist. “Marshall thought I showld.” Jennie looked disgusted and missed colliding with the car in front of her by a split hair. “Nuts to Mrs. Lancaster, the old Jesse, James!” The other social secretaries—Okie-Dore!— but Nannie Lancaster! Arf! “Why, Jennie?” “She shakes down more girls every year! Socks them $750 and talks them into bhaving parties at hotels. Then she gets a rakeoff from the florist, the hotel, the engraver, the stationer, the God-knows-who! It's & racket. A nice paying one, though. May go into it myself some day. The best people do!™ “Oh,” Betsy said, softly. “I didn't know. Will she send me a .bill? For just talking with her today, I mean?” “One that will knock your eyes out, my lamb!” Jennie blurted out. “I think the old gal has a word- weighing machine hidden under her desk. She weighs her speech aft- erward and sends a bill for so many words per pound. And I'll bet she talked 40 tons if you were there over 10 minutes!” “Oh,” said Betsy again, feeling a little 11l. Mrs. Lancaster just couldn't send a bill!l She should have asked before going to her office, of course. But she had thought that because of Marshall, Mrs, Lancaster was being sweet. And now with Terry needing every penny, and the bills at the house accumulating, and her father still out of work . . “Who's the brunette with the heart- shaped face down at the hospital? She ogles Terry as if she’s about to expire of love for him. I've seen her somewhere before.” Betsy told her all about Sonia. “I imagine you saw her, Jennie, at the legation thé night Raoul was mur- dered. She was the dancer in the cerise brilliants.” “Right,” said Jennie. “I place her now. Also, I have an urge to pop her one in her lovely black eyes. She’s too pretty and Terry is too in love with her. You should have seen them at the hospital. It was—well, poison- ous! I said to myself, ‘Well, Jennie, old gal, if you have any sentimental notions about Terry Seymour just put them back in your little canoe and get going down the stream.’” "Jennle. you don’t like Terry. I . . . not that way!” "Wmnd you believe me, Betsy, if I told you that I fell in love with Terry two years ago when I saw him boxing at the intercollegiate tourna- ment? That I never forgot him. That when I saw him at your house Thanksgiving afternoon I went home biting my nails—foul habit—and pull- ing my hair?” “No,” sald Betsy, dimpling. “I wouldn't.” “Which just goes to prove that you haven't bats’ brains!” The of the day of her debut Betsy rose from her crumpled smiled warmly. | Marshall is | Sweet child. | bed. The air had an fcy chill. She went to the windows and closed them, conscious of a fatigue that dragged at her feet like iron chains. She was tired—ghastly tired. The office, the debutant parties she had gone to with Marshall and Libby—he couldn’t drop Libby too soon after getting the position, he had told her over and over—to the hospital, the calls after work with Jennie, the mad racing about and borrowing of clothes from Maysie Parker, Jennie and Dora Pinch, and the frantic telegraphing to Barbara Stone for more borrowed dresses, so that she could attend the | parties, had taken its toll. There had been nights of lying awake, too, after balls and dinners, wondering where to get money for Terry's hos- pitalization even with Sonia miracu- lously producing another $500 which she said she had drawn in advance from her theatrical agent. Betsy crossed the room to the mir- ror now and stared at her wan little face. She said, softly, to her re- flection, “Miss Betsy Seymour, a hag- ish-looking individual, made her debut today. She wore white satin trimmed with ermine, thanks to Miss Barbara Stone, popular motion picture star.” Barbara, bless her! had generously sent & trunk of dresses used in films, including & new one in which she asked Betsy to make her debut; a | glamorous white satin with a train, | & collar to the throat and no back, nd a jacket trimmed in bands of | ermine. She was wearily hooking herself thinking how nice it was that John | Storm had telegraphed last night that he was flying down from Boston for her debut, that Barbara was flying | from Hollywood for it, too, and that Tommy Collins had said that he was going to send her roses with the $5 he had made from the sale | | of his first piece of poetry, entitled, “To a Lovely Deb,” when her mother | opened the door. There was no ador- | ing look in her eyes now, no bright, | flashing smile. Instantly Betsy thought | that Terry had had a relapse, and her breath caught in her throat. Without a word her mother handed Betsy the morning paper, unfolded it and pointed to the bold black script | of the headlines: Elizabeth Stockton and Marshall | Van Devanter Secretly Wed One Month Ago. | Betsy closed her eyes and swayed on her feet as if about to fall. She grasped the edge of the dressing table! Mrs. Seymour’s face became a blur, | the flowers of the wallpaper ran into one bright mass of color. That head- line meant that Marshall had been married to Libby the night they had | parked on the Speedway. That Libby’s husband had kissed her . . . Libby's husband! Outwardly silent, Betsy cried aloud in her thoughts: “It isn't true! Let something happen to prove that this isn’t true! It can't be true!” But it was true. Libby and Mar- shall, one month ago, had quietly | run off to Rockville and been mar- ried. (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) G. A. 0 FORCES MOVED | Workers Go to Offices in Old Moses Building.
