of Turner Gilmore, tt wa.« * hot.
Indolent day in July. Marcia was not
particularly hungry, but she had gone
to tb* diner for lunch because the
porter had warned her as he hurried
through the car. “Lost call foh lurvrh
la de dinin’ cah. ahald!" and because
she knew that It would be late when
she arrived In Detroit.
The Jider was tilled with people,
languidly awaiting thetr-chilled salads
and Iced drinks, while the waiters

A man sat across the table, obvl

nothing unsual in that fact-for Alar

men tn crowded diners before this.

Avoiding his gaae. she turned and
looked out of the window, as if pon

she was striving for composure.
Never had she felt s* self-conscious
in a strange presence. When she
tried to write, her band trembled,

Mrs. F. R. Harris, who is chairman

treat she provided fer the people of
Henderson.
Although the singers were delayed
by two minor accidents and arrived
too late to get supper or even to go to
their homes before the program, they
gave a lovely concert, most artistic
and inspiring.
The choir director. Professor Ernest

highly evident last night. Every num

Marcia raised the tumbler or Ice

the sharp gray eyes of the man who
was watching her. They were keen,
but not bard. They held r. sugges

distinguished appearance. Hts hand

and well-kept, and the soft, white
cuff of his shin protruded slightly
from his coat sleeve, quite property.
The waiter returned In rustling

with swift experienced movements.
She looked up with surprise at the
ntiick service, as he set before her a
grilled club steak. It waa not her
order.
"Bat, this ts not my order. - she ob
jected.
‘‘Mine, I believe." the man across
the table suggested, and spe was
compelled to meet hts smile of
apology. The waiter begged her
pardon, and transferred the order to
him. moving his Implements over the
table as If he were playing a rapid
game of checkers. The steak was
moved across the table with a flourish
significant of crowning a king
A smile hovered about the man's
lips, and he met Marcia's eyes again.
In amusement. She answered his
smile amiably.
“Sorry to take It away from you."
he remarked pleasantly. "But no
doubt, you prefer to have your own
order."
“Oh. yes. 1 shouldn't care for all
that lunch today." she replied, as tr.e
waiter added potatoes, a comhina f lon
salad, fritters and hot cofree.
The heat never affects my appe

than cold on days like thre, and more

He dtd not offer to begin eating,
and asked, when she glanced at him
curiously, "May 1 wait until you are
served, and Join you? Allow me"

get cold." she reminded him. then

The selections were of the highest
order, beginning with the ancient
sixteenth century Italian music by
Palestrina, and ranging through the
ages and nationalities, Norwegian,
Russian, English and the present day
and most modern of all classics, the
French Dubossy.
The vocal solos by C. L. Gray. Wil
ma Planzer and Vera Smith and the
piano solo by Alma Andrews, who
is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs.
S. R.‘Harris, also were very pleasing
to the audience.
Probably the most appealing of all
the numbers was "That Sweet Story
of Old” in which little S. W. Taylor,
Jr., sang in his sweet trble voice with
the choir humming the accompaiment.
The choir left this morning for

“Yea I am."

“Oh, no."

"Business or pleasure?"
"Is this an Income tax question

inquired.
He laughed pleasantly. “Oh, I beg

“Do they always answer you?"
"They have to," he shrugged
slightly, and turned back the lapel of

“Scarcely that! You appear to be

300 Yards of Main Levee
Spouts Water Through
Sandbag Barricades
Glendora. Miss,, Jan. 15. —(AP)
Tallahassee county today faced the
gravest flood crisis in .history with
300 yards of the town’s main levee
spouting water through sand bags
in eight or ten fresh cracks.
Levees were weakening worse than
at any time during the flood of a
month’s duration, and all man power,
with the aid of a few convicts, was
thrown into the dykes to save the
levees east and west of the Tallahas
see river.
Heavy rains swelled the Black
Bayou up around the higher residen
tial section of the town, while the
sea’s water through the front levee
today was sending two inches of water
through the stories of the business
section adjacent to the levees.
