A bomb in the men's room of the Majestic was not so devastating. Two charwomen, Mrs. Annie Ascot and Mrs. Alice Gallagher suffered cuts und bruises when knocked down. The Capitol theatre in Lynn was badly damaged.

course, she said nothing about the several considerations involved. Harry removed his glasses and laid them on his glass-topped desk. He studied them a moment, looked up. “Doesn’t it seem a bit drastic ?” he said. “Can’t the police help?” She explained why they couldn't. “Well, I’m sure your mother wouldn’t want you to do it," he said. "It’s really none of my business, but it seems to me that this Harrow has put you in a rather awkward situation.” “But it isn’t his fault,” Kay said. “Maybe not, maybe not. Well. Kay, that’s my idea, anyway. I’d merely be very careful and have as little as possible to do with Harrow beyond earning my salary. As you say, he’s only going to be in town a few days more, anyway.” “Well, thank you, Harry.” She rose to go. “What do you intend to do?” he asked. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “It is silly, isn’t it?” “It may not be,” Harry said, replacing his glasses and looking at her gravely. By dinner time Kay had made her decision. What prompted her she couldn’t say. Curiosity, perhaps, a perverse spirit, or an interest in the man Harrow. This last she denied to herself the instant she thought of it. Anyway, she found Harrow and said: “I’ve been thinking over what you suggested this morning, and probably it would be best if I came onto the yacht for the next few days.” “I’m glad you’re so sensible,” he replied. “Really, it’s the safest course. Thate to sound like a calamity howler or a melodramatic, superstitious fogy, but I do think it’s the best thing to do. You’ll be perfectly comfortable; you won’t have the long trip every morning and evening and you’ll be out of danger.” “I’ll get my things and come back this evening.” “Do that. I’ll have Kelly help you. He can take the ear. Dinner will be waiting for you her".” “Oh, don’t bother about that.” “No bother at all. I’ll get Kelly.” Kelly, a thick, red-faced man, quiet as a block of stone and evidently as hard, drove her across the river in the big car and waited while she packed a bag. Harry wasn’t home, so she left him a note: “Harry—l’ve decided Mr. Harrow was right, after all. At that, it doesn’t seem to be anything to worry about. I’ll stay on the boat until it sails. People don’t need to know about it anyway. See you at your office tomorrow. Get in touch with Mr. Harrow if anybody comes prowling again.—Kay.” After dinner she and Harrow sat on deck enjoying the cool breeze. Darkness had come down upon the roofs of the town, upon the river and now the lights of automobiles were beginning to move like fireflies in procession across the distant bridges to the north. Strangely enough, Kay felt peaceful, secure and absolutely at home. Next day Harrow announced that he thought he was about ready to get away at any time. All he really had to wait for now, he explained, was Ida Campbell’s return from Washington where she had flown to a party. The mere mention of Ida in connection with the continuation of Harrow's cruise began to upset Kay She told herself that it was ridiculous that she should give it a thought, but that didn’t prevent her from doing so. It was merely that she hated to sec Ida so obviously casting a net at Harrow. At least that is what she told herself that morning- booking out over the water, Kay realized that in a day or so this lovely river would be the emptiest, most desolate body of water in the world“Kay,” Harrow said, that night, “I certainly wish you were coming along with us.” “I’d like nothing better—in a way.” Kay admitted. “But Ini afraid it wouldn’t be the thing to dn ” “Well, as I’ve already told you, I’ll not try to influence you one w_ay or the other, but you certainly belong aboard this boat when it noses out into that channel and heads south. Palm Beach, Miami, Key West, Havana—and on the way back Nassau. Nights like these, and the soft winds and warm ocean. And it’ll be great to get away fro™ all this bothersome business thats been going on. I think that s going to qufet for a while at least andwrteinly we’ll be away from . once we put out of here. That will be one relief. I’ll hate to leave you behind, though, Kay. _ . ifis hand moved quietly off the arm of his chair and titled upon her hand. “It’s beengran' “Vmi’re a creat girl- And don t ioi eet I’m really convinced that some of thlV days well be see!ng voir name in lights up there m New York- I only hope that when we do.

it will be in one of my shows. Long way ahead, of course, but it's possi bie. If a few years ago anyone had told me I’d be sitting here tonight on this boat, taking it easy—well comparatively so—l’d have laughei in his face. You never know. Kay " “No. you never do,” she admitted. Neither of -hem spoke for several minutes. But Kay’s mind was racing about, this way, that way. and in circles. Suddenly, without realizing it in advance, she found herself saying: “Earl, I do want to go. May I?" Harrow looked at her, his lipa grinning slightly, his eyes shrewd, amused. “Need you ask?” “I know you must think I’m an awful fool,” she blurted, laughing nervously, “but I can’t help it. I guess it’s the way I do things.” “You’ve red hair,” he said. “I have at that.” Their eyes met and held a long time without wavering. First Harrow smiled again; then Kay. Harrow’s hand came forward. Kay took it and returned hard grip for hard grip. “You're the right sort,” he said. “Thanks. And you’re not so bad.” They heard a step behind them and turned to see Spike Winch. “Sorry,” he said, “sorry. Didn’t mean to butt into any conversation.” He turned to go, but Harrow called to him. “Spike, we’ve another passenger.” “Yeah?” Spike said slowly, looking from Harrow to Kay, a slight smile beginning to show on his broad mouth. “Kay’s going to come along with us, after al). Now we’ll be sure to pick up some fish. She’s good medicine.” “Uh-huh.” Spike swallowed and shifted his position. “Well, I’m glad you’re coming, Kay.” “So am I; thanks, Spike.” “Will you excuse me?” Harrow said, “I have to make a call.” He hurried down the deck and walked lightly down the plank. “Seems happy,” Spike observed quietly. “Earl?” “Yean,” Spike said. He began to shake his head. “I don’t know.” “What don’t you know?” “About your coming along. N° l that I don’t want to see you do it.” he added quickly, “just that I don't know, that’s all.” He shrugged. “Maybe it’ll work out. Maybe." “What do you mean, Spike? Tell me.” “Nothing to tell you, Kay. Just talking. Go ahead—forget it. You know what you’re doing. Don’t pay any attention to me; I'm kind of screwy sometimes anyway.” Spike went ambling down the deck, hands in his pockets. Kay’s eyes followed him, puzzled and concerned. Spike was a gloomy prophet, but Spike was also a shrewd man. What now? When Harrow came back he suggested taking Kay over to the house for the rest of her things and to make her arrangements for sailing. “When we do leave it’ll probably be all in a hurry,” he said, “and any hour at that. So you’d better be all ready in advance.” As he led her down the plank, Kelly and Wagner appeared from behind. Harrow looked back. “Never mind, boys,” he said, “just a little quick trip and it’s still early.” "Okay,” said Kelly, or Wagner. Spike stood leaning against the rail. As Kay and Harrow got into the coupe he lifted a hand lazily, let it drop. Kay gave him a little wave. He turned and disappeared inside the deckhouse. Neither es the men were at home when Kay and Harrow arrived, so the business took only a few milutes. She gathered together some fishing tackle and a few old clothes, left another note to Harry, promising to stop in at his office in the morning. They walked down the drive, Harrow carrying her grip and some of the tackle. It was a dark Florida night, the moon not yet pp from the ocean, and the odor of jasmine was strong and sweet in the air. Something happened. What, Kay couldn’t tell well afterward. What she saw was a figure rising from the hibiscus near the gate. She saw, or thought she saw, something glittering. She heard a quick succession of noises—first a soft thud, then immediately a clatter, and upon that a sharp report that made her ears ring. There was » brief grunt and th" figure disappeared. Kay whirled toward Harrow. He was standing behind het, an automatic in his hand. At his feet were her fishing rods and her bag. With his free hand he seized her shoulders, whisked her hack and pushed her to the ground. With the other hand he raised the automatic.

COLO WAVE IN STATE BROKEN Slowly Rising Temperatures Today End Season’s First Cold Wave liidiaiiupollH, Dec. 12 — (U.R) — Slowly rising temperatures today ended the season's first cold wave in Indiana. J. H. Armington, meteorologist at the U. IS. weather bureau hero, said the lowest temperature tonight probably would average 25 degrees. Indianapolis recorded 11 de grees early today, Terre Haute, 14; Fort Wayne, 12; Evansville, 20 and northwestern Indiana 16. Only one death from freezing was recorded in the state but numerous tires were attributed to the temperatures. Hugh Strycker, 63, South Bend, was burned when he used oil to start a fire in his stove. Mrs. May Agnew, 50, living west of Columbus, was in critical condition from burns suffered when her clothing caught fire as she stood with her back to an open grate. A small fire in a wooden locker at the state prison was extinguished quickly by convicts using ■hemicals. Damage was slight.

COLD WEATHER RETAINS GRIP Reavy Toll of Life Is Taken In Territory East Os Mississippi Chicago. Dec. 12— (U.R) —Temperature records of 60 years standing fell today before a cold wave over eastern United States which threatened crops in the semi-tropical everglades and took an incalculable toll of life west to the Mississippi. The midwest gained surcease from the succession of blizzards that have swept across the coun try for two weeks, but a weather bureau bulletin warned of a new blanket of cold air sweeping eastward from the northern Rocky mouiitaius. Storms over the north Atlantic delayed the mightiest liners and kept air lines alive with calls from small vessels for aid and directions. The steamer Jean Jadot stood by the disabled British vessel Usworth in a mid-ocean gale. Ice coated the surf battered coast from Hudson's bay to the far south. Possibility of a thaw encouraged 2,000 men still laboring to clear Chicago streets ot the heaviest December snowfall in 31 years, which fell in a freak “blizzard” over an area 20 miles square. New York and New England, on the other hand, expected the coldest December 12 singe 1876. The mercury touched 5 above zero last night in Boston, 15 below at Mount Washington, N. H-, 10 above in New York and 25 below nt Adirondack mountain points. New York City opened its armories to thousands of homeless men ami women and Mayor Fiorello La Guardia announced plans to open stations where coffee and doughnuts will be given for the asking. Residents of the eastern gulf states dug forgotten overcoats from the mothballs as snow rode in from the north on a 3<>-mile wind. Miami. Fla., thermometers dropped one degree below freezing before midnight. Smudge pots burned in citrus groves far to the south. Snow fell yesterday in Tampa for the third time in 40 yeans and the first time since 1906. The anew was general over the Carolinas. Virginia. Northern Alabama. Northern Georgia and Eastern Tennessee.
