'Silent’ Piano To 6o In Production Piano Exhibited At Industry Trade Show CHICAGO (INS) — They’ve developed a piano with a silencer on it. Brit don’t unplug your ears" yet, folks and neighbors. It wx>n*t be ready until after the first of the year. The piano runs on electricity and has a switch which shuts oft the sound no matter how hard the keys are being pounded. But it comes equipped with a set of ear phones so the player can listen in to the sweet masic—or din—he’s making. The same switch that shuts oft the sound also regulates the volume to fit the size of the room. Besides the on-and-off feature, the piano is portable. It can be folded up like a case with its music rack serving as the handle and stacked in a closet. The piano, which weighs 1 about 89 pounds and has 64 keys, was exhibited today at the 1954 music industry trade show in Chicago. A spokesman for the Rudolph Wurlitzer Co., Chicago, said the

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN HALF an hour. An hour and five minutes. An hour and ten minutes. Joan decided she wouldn’t watch foe Todd to come from the operating room any longer. She would close tear eyes and count to one hundred before she looked down the haD again. She had reached fifty-nine when she beard a fami- . liar reassuring voice. “Well, now, there’s no need to be so tense and tragic!” Her eyes flew open. Dr. Rogers stood there, his cherub face wreathed in smiles. “Oh, Doctori Is he—” “Fine as a fiddle. Back in his room and tucked up like a baby. Got it just in time. Tell him for me when he wakes up that he can have five helpings of turkey next week, if he likes.” Joan telephoned Todd’s mother ' while she waited for Todd to emerge from the ether. “He’s all right! He’s going to be fine,” she said, her voice sounding her thankfulness. “No complications. No, I’ll wait till he can speak to me before 1 come home. Yea, I’ll tell him! Good-by now." Then she called her own mother to reassure her, too, and after that she went back to Todd's bedside and sat down in a chair dose beside him. Presently he half-opened one I eye. “Hello, honey,” he murmured. The nurse bent over him, taking his pulse. Soon the nurse went out, with a quick smile for Joan. “He’s all right. He's tn' a natural sleep. I'll be back soon." Joan nodded. Not until then did the question that had been hammering in the back of her head make itself heard. But now it seemed to roar through the hushed evening quiet of the hospital room. The cost of tonight's little fracas. How were they ever going to meet it? The wedding money was gone. Practically all of it used for furniture and for 'the stuff they had bought for refinishing it. Her royalty that she had been saving—somehow that had van- | ished, too. “And it's all my fault," she thought. If only she had listened to Todd in the beginning. How right he Sad been!

It had been over a year since she had last seen her publisher. She had called there once, soon I after her return from Europe, to

She had worked all last winter andhad sent in the completed manuscript in May, Just before her wedding. She put in a call for Mr. Adams of the publishing firm and waited. The girl at the telephone switchboard was addressing her. “Yes?" “Mr. Adams is tn conference now, and doesn’t know just when he will be free. He suggests that you talk with Miss Bishop. She is the editor of books for young people." “AB right" “Down the corridor and to your right The last doer." “Yes, 1 know the way," she said. “I met Miss Bishop earlier.” > The young editor was as friendly as the president of the company had been. They made an appointment to meet in the New York office. * “I'm so glad to see you again," Miss Bishop said, rising and extending her hand. “1 look busy, don’t I? This desk! Well, I am of course. Children's Book Week just behind and the Christmas trade ahead. But Pm glad to take time off to chat with you. How is your third story coming along? Have you begun it yet? And where is Jane going this time ?” “That’s what 1 wanted to talk to you about.” "All right. Let’s talk. You’re not having any trouble, are you?” Joan nodded. "That's ft. You see, I’m net—" She stopped for a moment. “Well, this series started out to be a kind of travel series, as you just said. I based both of my stones on my own experiences. But since 1 came back from Europe, I haven't traveled at aIL And don’t expect to. So—- “ Well, I seem to be stuck for a start. In fact, I guess I’m stuck for material for the whole thing.” Miss Bishop's bright eyes were suddenly alert and keen, though her voice remained calm. •Goodness,” she said. “That docs sound like a predicament I don't really believe, though, that it's as bad as you make out You must have some kind of an idea buzzing about in your head. Haven’t you?” "If I don’t need to go on making this a travel series— yea.” "Well, you don't Who said you did? There's no hard and fast rule about it Why not have Jane stay at home for a year.? Let her have some of the regular, normal experiences that most girls have. I think your renders might like thnt. For instance— ’’ She checked her-

I thought ' Jan» migMMStay at home and goL. into business. Would that be all right?" “Fine! What kind of business?” , *Td thought of antiques.” Miss Bishop looked thoughtful. “By herself? Not by herself, I think. She wouldn’t know enough, would she? With an older person, 4>erhaps. One who is experienced. Does that appeal to you ?’’ “Yes.” Joan nodded. “Frankly, this thought came to me recently. I haven't developed it at all, because 1 wasn’t sure whether you’d approve. But she has to earn money, you see. In this book she simply has to earn money." “Does she? Why?” “Because of—because of sickness in her family. Hospital expenses and an operation. For her mother or father, 1 think. Perhaps it had best be her father, since he is the wage earner. That makes earning money a more pressing need, I mean." “Yea, good reasoning. So Jane must help out financially and goes into business. It sounds as though you might have a worth-while and interesting story there. Let me see now. Antiques. Yes, I believe that will da We have no heroine on our list at present who is embarking oti that venture. They seem to be secretaries or nurses or radio singers or newspaper girls.” She nodded briskly. "Go ahead! Try it. And let me hear how you are coming along.” ... Joan was dismissed and she knew it. But her mission was only half-completed. She said hesitantly, ’There’s just one more thing.” “Yes?” .. “I really hate to bring this up! Tm sure it’s out of order. Especially when 1 just received my royalty check a week or so ago. But I'm in a spot. You see—" Her color deepened and she rushed on. "You see, 1 always base my stories on personal experiences. And—well—there has been illness in my family. My husband had to have an emergency operation. It left us most awfully broke.” She forced a small laugh. “So I wondered if perhaps it might not be fixed in some way so that I could have an advance noW? On Jane at BofiiCi 1 mean. Even though I haven't started writing yet?” Bhe stopped, unbidden tears rushing to her eyes and belying their brave look. (To Be Continued)
