. @ Wooster, loftily. [ DAILY SHORT STORY STRAIGHT MAN By Edward Skill. T HE Woosters are the nicest peo- ple I ever knew. ‘They have the pret- @ tiest flat in town and I used to like to go up there, but T'm not going any more. It's all be- causs they have e “butt-in” habit too strong. The ‘Woosters always start in when I ar- rive to get me to a tell them a story. Mr. Wooster is very fond of tell- ing stories and re- lating incidents of his real life, and he remembers them all. If he ever shows signs of for- getting them Mrs. Wooster reminds him. But they like to hear other peo- ple tell stories, too. Of course, I have never yet told a story to the ‘Woosters, but I've tried to several thousand times. Mrs. Wooster always meets me in the hall when I go in and says, “Now there's some awful nice people here and we've just been waiting for you. Tell some of your best stories, will you?” I always blushingly say, “I don't know any real good stories, but I'll do my best.” So Mrs. Wooster pilots me proudly into the parlor and says, “Mr. Redkid | is going to tell you the funniest story you ever heard in all your lives.” Jove to be “press-agented” like that. It helps the story so much. Well, I start in. I say, “When I was out in China the last time, I was stopping for a while in Hong Kong. There was an Irishman there, work- ing on a railroad.” “Irishman?” says Mrs. Wooster. “I thought you said you were in China!” * x % % DID,” I remark. “In Hong Kong; but this Irishman was out there, [J Mrs. Wooster. “I “Oh," says thought they were all Chinese out | there.” ‘Oh, mot dear,” says Mr. “There are people of all nationalities to be found in China. There was a man that I used to work for who had been to China. all, he never used any of it. but just kept it to show to people. He had it under the parlor table—" “He ‘kept’ it under the parlor table,” interposes Mrs. Wooster. “Well, ‘kept’ or ‘had,’ what's the dif- ference?” demands Mr. Wooster. “Oh, nothing,” says Mrs. Woos!er. "Only you always say ‘kept.’ “Quite true, my dear,” admns Mr. Wooster. “Well, as I said, he always | kept this chest of tea—but I am in- terrupting Mr. Redkid. Go on with your atory, Redkid.” “Oh, no, indeed,” I say modestly. %I want to hear what happened to that chest of tea.” *x ¥ X X 0" SOME boys stole it and put | ‘Wooster, chopped hay in it,” says Mr. “and the man kept the| chopped hay for years. There’s a lot 1! He brought back a big chest | of tea that he was so proud of that| TN “Tell some of your best stories.” | | | | more words to it, but that's the point. And now please go on with the Irish- man in China. You say he was working on the railroad. Is this the story about the Irishman that tried to climb into the hammock in the berth in the sleep- ing car, thinking that was the place tosleep? I've heard that on “No,” 1 say as calmly as possible. “They hadn't got that far along | with this railroad. | They were making a grade for the tracks and he was the boss of several hundred - Chinese laborers.” “I thought they always had Mexi- cans working on the grading for railroads,” interposes Mrs. Wooster. “They were laying the grade for a railroad near our Summer home a year ago and they were all Mexicans.” “But this being in China,” I reply, “it was easier to get Chinese.” “Of course,” says Mrs. Wooster. “I never thought of that. But how did the Irishman talk to the Chinese? I shouldn't think they would have understood him.” * ok ko “THAT‘S the point of the story,” I responded. “I'm coming to that.” “Yes, my dear.” by the way, can laborers reminds me of an Italian who used to sell vegetables to us every morning.” “Oh, sometimes he came around about noon,” interrupts Mrs. Wooster. | “Yes,” continues Mr. Wooster, “but more often he came in the morning. Well, he had sold potatoes all Winter | long and that was about the only | says Mr. Wooster. “But | English word he knew, because he| had to keep shouting, ‘Po-ta-toes, po-ta-toes!” But pardon he, Redskin; g0 on with your story.” “No, no, no,” I say firmly. happened?” “Oh,” says Mrs. Wooster, “when Summer came they had the Italian sell flowers, but he would still shout | shoulder just as she was about to step pAmencan v'A“mmobnp po-ta-toes.” Did the Chinese try to| kill the Irishman, Mr. Redkid? I} should think he would have been| awfully afrald of them. I am.| Weren't you awfully afraid of the| Chinese, Mr. Redkid? Did they ever try to kill you? What did you do?" By this time I am so mad that I could cheerfully bite two 10-] -penny | nails into small segments, but the maid appears and announces that dinner is served. “well, after dinner, Mr. Redkid,” | says Mrs. Wooster, “you must tell us all about the Irishman and the Chi- nese. I'll bet it is the funniest thing. | But vou can tell us after dinner.” I've never succeeded in telling that story to the Woosters yet. But I haven't given up trying. Some day, | if T persist long enough, I'll probably | find out how the man discovered his tea was chipped hay. (Copyright, 193u)) CHAPTER VIIL ATSY awoke the next day about 3 o'clock with the vague feeling that she hadn’t slept for even a second. She had heard the P grandfather clock in the hall down- stairs chime one, two, three. She had heard it strike five. Then she must have failen asleep. Still, even then, thoughts and memories and sounds had stalked 4 through her mind. Kitty Cavendish's laugh had been there, Lee's tortured | face, Courtney Vallance's words just 8s he had sald them when driving home from State circle: “Would it help any, Patsy, if I told you that I care a lot about what happens —that I'd like to give you a screen test. If Dmetrieff thinks you have a voice ~you have a voice!” Words, faces, sounds, shrieks—all night beating against her subconscious | mind; twisting her in bed; making her #ob in her sleep far beyond any reali- | ation of it. She was awake now, weak and spent, and lay looking out of the window, the sunlight slanting golden across her silken curls, the delicate pallor of her cheeks, her desperately unhappy blue eyes. Old Ephraim had put a small breakfast on the table beside her bed as was his custom, but she couldn't eat it. She fell as if she could never eat egain. And it was all her fault. She had done with her life just what she had promised herself that she wouldn’t. She’d fallen in love and the man was Navy, attractive to women—but, thank God, not by them! —and married. And no matter how hard she tried there was nothing that could stop her from loving Lee Caven- dish. Ted came to her door then, and al- most as soon as he knocked he opened it and thrust his dark head around it. Oscar. Ted's little wire-haired pup, slipped through the opening, skidded giddily on the round rag rug and made | a leap for Patsy’'s bed—and Patsy. ® His tail wagged apologies for his un- controlled affections and his licking tongue was more eloquent than words. Patsy sat up and hugged him in her arms and said: “Come on in, Ted. My, you look like the morning after, all| right!” She had known the moment she saw | Ted’s face that something was amiss. She wondered swiftly what Virginia Keith had done now—if Tippy was mixed up in it. All of Ted’s troubles nowadays circled around Virginia. Ted had a newspaper rolled in one ¢ hand and was beating it nervously ’ against the palm of the other. When he reached Patsy’s bed he opened it and said: “I think you ought to see this, Sis. It's a hell of a mess.” And he pointed to Wally Walter’s column. Still Patsy thought it must have something to do with Virginia. She gave one of Oscar’s ears a tug and said: “Go to sleep, you imp!” And sbediently the pooch retreated to her pillow, curled himself up and went to sleep. She read the paragraph, her face paling, her slender fingers trembling . until the paper rattled. With tor- tured young eyes she lopked up into ‘Ted’s compassionate face. She said: “Has—has Lee seen this?” “§ think every one in Annapolis has, 1 | Patsy,” said Ted. “I was with Lee all his annual message, delivered yester- her‘"l to you | mem | ¥ morning. There'll be a court of inquiry and a court-martial, all right. But| Lee’s more worried about the insinu tions against you in this rotten thing than he is about himself.” Patsy moistened her lips. “It doesn’t matter about me, Ted. Really. I only hate it because of grandfather. But Lee—you know what the Navy means to Lee!” Ted tried to be cool and practical | and soothing. “If Lee has Comdr. Raguer defend him he might be ac- law that that man doesn't know. I | think he could recite backward from | ory the Navy Digest. Lee might | get off with just being sentenced to stay at the foot of the lieutenants’ list ror a couple of years, or remain there ! until he had lost several hundred num- | bers. The only trouble is, Lee’s case is so damn weak. Even if they had | testimony from the witnesses at that | mock wedding—and that would re- quire wiring ali the four corners of the world to locate those officers—there would be no one to prove what was in Lee’s mind. That he didn’t know he was being legally married. Kitty's testimony would be, naturally, that they had planned it all out beforehand. The long and short of it would be Lee's word alone to go on, and the judge advocate and ‘those seven officers sit- ting might not be convinced. And I understand in a case like this that the verdict has to be unanimous and can't g0 by majority. Suppose one man— | say like Capt. Richards, who is hard- hoiled as hell—wasn’t convinced. Then Lee would be out of the Navy, court- martialed, disgraced.” Patsy covered her face with her hands for a moment. Then they lay still and pale on the candlewick spread. “What does Lee think, Ted?” she finally asked. “As far as I can gather, he intends to plead guilty, get out of the Navy and divorce Kitty,” Ted told her. “He said this morning that he was going to tell the court that he didn't want any counsel. He has an idea that, con- victed or acquitted, he will forever after be-held in dubious respect by his fellow officers. And that’s a stiff dose to drink.” _ Patsy’s eyes widened. “Oh, Ted, he mustn’t do that! He mustn't. Don't you see, it wasn't his fault—it wasn’t! Surely the court would understand, recommend clemency! Surely, if Lee stood trial—" Ted reached for a cigarette. “I'll talk to him, Patsy. I'm on my way now to Worden Field. He's with the Plebe team this afternoon.” Then he cupped her chin with one hand and said: “Keep it up, old girl!” and left. After foot ball practice Lee met Ted at the officers’ quarters. As they walked through the yard toward town, Lee’s eyes were full of the poignant memory-filled beauty of the academy —the massive granite buildings rest- ing upon foundations of fine tradition and heroic deeds the monuments of the heroes of the past as an inspira- tion to the heroes of the future. He stood and looked about him. There was Mahan Hall, with many happy recollections of first-class hops; the superintendent’s house, the goal that would be reached by one or two of his class after hard years of serv- let him tell it his own way, | your speaking of Mexi- | “What | uitted. There’s nothing about naval | ice; Maury Hall, where he had sweat- ed over math and silently prayed to old Tecumseh; Memorial Hall, with the deathless words of Lawrence flam- ing down—"Don’t give up the ship!” ‘Ted said: “What the devil are you doing?” “Thinking,” Lee answered huskily. “One day soon it will be anchor’s| i aweigh for me and one last look af the yard.” “That’s what I want to talk with you about, Lee,” Ted said quickly, glad of the opening. He stared straight into Lee's face. There were unaccustomed lines about his mouth, he saw, and shadows under his eyes. He looked as if he had not slept for a month. He thought: *He's taking this hard. He looks a good 10 years older than he did last night.” determined. mess, he said, clean up. youth, his bad judgment in one wom- an and his cowardice in not resign- ing from the Navy the moment he knew he was married, staring him | full in the face. Ted said that he had | | put the wrong meaning back of] “cowardice,” but Lee only shrugged 1 and said: “Skip it, Ted—please.” It was & nauseating that nobody could saw Kitty come out of a flat front red-brick house across the street, | luxurious silver foxes dangling aimost | to her small patent pumps. Kitty |saw Ted and Lee, too. She waved at them and smiled and as she ran down the steps to her car parked at the curb she waved again and threw them a frivolous kiss. Resentment began to rise in Lee, welling up from the core of his being |as lava stirs and rises within a | volcano. Kitty smiling at him, throw- ing a kiss! She had her revenge now! She had dipped her jeweled, scarlet- tipped fingers in poison, had splatter- ed it in his and Patsy's face and now | she was happy—and no doubt felt| justified. | Ted said: |us a kiss after turning that lousy ‘What's the a woman | | story over to the papers! wheeze about | old scorner— “I don’t know,” said Lee, his jaw a hard knot. And then he said,| 'gnmng his teeth, “Have you ever| | hated any one enough to kill them?” | Ted said, “Lord, no!" But he thought, “I'm lying. I've wanted to, | kill all the men who have paued over Virginia. I think I've wanted to kill Virginia! That couldn't be| love! I couldn't really love Virginia and feel like that! But what is it?” Suddenly a dark, fashionably dressed young man crossed the nar-| row street, stopped at her car nnd\ put a detaining hand on Kitty's into the auto. She turned, still smil- ing: and then her expression changed | completely. | Ted sai By the gods, that's Victor Caldwell stopping Kitty to | talk with her. You know—he's the | mystery of Annapolis.

I, July 6— Morris Rothenberg, president of the | Zionist Organization of America, in day afternoon at the thirty-ninth an- | nual convention of the organization ,in session here, censured the policy of the mandatory government in Pal- estine as “futile.” He called upon the British govern- ment for a “more positive policy.

Wise as out- lined Saturday night by Dr. Israel Goldstein, president of the Jewish National Fund, who has assumed the role of “peace-maker” in the Wise- Rothenberg fight for the presidency. Dr. Goldstein had said that Rabbi Wise definitely would become presi- dent and Rothenberg would become chairman of the Administrative Com- mittee.
