PHINTEK Hri YEAHS OLD SAN FRANCISCO <UP> — Col. James B. Handcock, 102. claiming to be the oldest if not the bust of the oldtime profession of itinerant printers, has just reached San Francisco after a jump from his last working place at Salt Lake City. When he has worked all he wants to at San Francisco, he says he will move on to Sawtelle or Yountville and then to Seattle, where, true to the old-time ethics of he profession, he is
"tramp" printer.
Colonel Handcock’s title is as genu-
Salt Lake City, and physicians insisted he would have to quit driving the car. However, it has not prevented
ine as the bullet in his leg which he, him from continuing his travels.
He seldom stays in a place more than 10 days, and turns his job over to the next printer who come along, provided the younger man suits him. Handcock insists he is known in enough printing offices now all over the United States to be sure of certain work for the remainder of the 10 years he has given himself to live.

him.
CHAPTER X VHIIEN Jackie caught sight of ” Knox aud the reporter following him out of police headquarteis he gave way to blind panic as he realized that they had discovered his secret. Leaping into his car, which had been parked in front of the building, he tore down the crowded street at breakneck speed, ignoring traffic lights and causing pedestrians to scatter in all directions. “Look at the fool go!" cried the lieutenant as he made a clash for a patrol car nearby. "Come on. Steve. We've got to stop him. before he kills aomebody else.” Hut catching the wild-eyed youngster proved an Impossible task. He drove his big car like a thunderbolt, avoiding other cars by a miracle, turning, twisting, cutting corners, completely beside himself as he envisioned what might happen If he were arrested and charged with the murder of Bobby Sanborn. Its siren screaming, the police car followed close behind but could not catch up. even when open country was reached. "He's driving like a maniac,” Steve shouted once above the roar of the motor. "Our only chance is to corner him or head him off.” Knox nodded grimly and pushed the accelerator to the floorboard. The reporter took a deep breath, shut his eyes and settled hark into his seat as if expecting the worst to happen. And it did. Jackie gave way to his old failing of cutting a curve too close. As a truck loomed around the bend ho twisted the wheel madly. The great car. traveling ninety miles »n hour, swerved far out to the left side of the road, failed to recover and crashed headlong into a telephone pole ... When Knox's machine roared up, slowed down with a screech of brakes and skidded to a stop, Jackie was lying sprawled under a mass of twisted steel and shattered glass. "Done for!” Steve said quietly. "He can't be,” gasped Knox. “Quick. Help me drag him out of the wreck. We've got to get him to a hospital." "How about it, Steve?” Knox asked over his shoulder a few minutes later, as the car hurtled back toward town, its siren screaming. "You'd better hurry,” answered the reporter, w ho was crouching over the unconscious Jackie in the rear seat. "He's going fast.” At the hospital a doctor shook his head gravely as he examined the boy. "Hopeless," ho said. "He might come round for a little while with a blood transfusion.” For answer Knox started stripping off his coat. "No ... No ... 1 can't... I'm hurt ... I can’t do it." were the boy's'flrst words as he partially recovered consciousness under the effects of the transfusion. “That’s it,’’ said the doctor, stopping the How of blood, and beginning to unstrap the officer's arm from that of the injured youth. “Do any good, Dr. Grayson?" Inquired Knox as. white and shaken from loss of blood, he rpse from a wheel stretcher besidu^r6e bed. “A little. He seMdestronger." "No . . . HOST. 1 can't do It. I Can’t .... l^dSso ... Please don’t," Jackie waa''moaning again. "I don’t want them to know.” "Jackie,” said Knox as he bent over the bed. "Jackie, you were trying to tell us something about that bus crash ... What was it ?”
“Don’t ask me to write that,” panted the boy after a slight pause. “Please. Please don't . . . Where’s Betty? Betty knows ... Betty, please don't look at me like that. 1 can’t do It!" His voice suddenly rose to a scream and he struggled to get off the bed. Then the words trailed into a sobbing gasp as be collapsed. Dr. Grayson leaped forward and Jabbed a hypodermic needle into the patient’s forearm. Then, as he relaxed and groaned faintly, he said: “He almost went that time." “You’ve got to keep him alive . . . You've got to,” pleaded Knox. “I'm doing everything 1 can but another shock like that will finish
him.”
Desperately the traffic officer looked around the room ns though for help. Noticing the nurse who was working with Dr. Grayson, he took her aside and whispered earnestly with her for several moments. As Jackie started to babble again the girl leaned over the bed and began repeating the words Betty had spoken at Miko Andrews’ place.
/ / The dying boy (lung an arm across his face as though to shield it and sank back on the bed sobbing. “What’s the matter. Sis?" he asked at last In a low. dazed tone. . . . “What's happened?” There was another pause and Dr. Grayson leaned forward anxiously, hypodermic In hand. Then be went on: “Change places with you? What for? Drunk —that’s right . . . They'd better not find me behind the wheel . . . I'm drunk! Sure. I’m moving . . . over ... right.. . now." The voice trailed off into a whisper- stopped. The arm fell back against the pillows. "He’s gone!" Dr. Grayson said after applying a stethoscope. "Well!" Knox took a long, shivering breath. "If he ran look back from wherever he Is. .t must make him feel better to know he's told us.”

"Jackie,” she said softly. "We’re just leaving Mike's place. Let mo drive with you. Hangs can go with Mike.” There was a perceptible pause, then a faint smile twisted Jackie’s mouth. This time the suggestion took effect. “I get it,” ho muttered. “Y’ou think I'm drunk, too!” Knox turned quickly to a court stenographer who had been called to the room hy Steve and motioned excitedly for him to take down the scraps of conversation. "Got a cigarette on you, Sis?” Jackio was mumbling. "Oh, 1 can get along without it ... O. K. Stop at this hamburger stand.” Knox shook his head at this wandering and leaned forward as though to Interrupt, hut was silent when Steve laid a restraining hand on his arm. "Hello, Betty . . the voice was meandering on. "Get ’em all right ... No, no you don’t. I'm driving now . gonna show you how an expert drives . ..’’ There was a long pause, then "Shouldn’t be driving . . . Just missed that car ... Mustn’t let Betty know . . . Mustn't let Betty laugh at mo ... Drive fast so Betty won’t know I'm drunk . . He stopped talking. His breathing quickened perceptibly. Veins stood out on his torehe id as he strained his head away from the pillow. Suddenly his eyes opened for the first time and stared glassily straight ahead of him. His expression turned to one of horror as he screamed wildly: "Look out! Quick!" He made convulsive movement with his right foot as though Jamming on brakes, then wailed: "They won’t hold! . , . 1 can’t stop! Look out . , . Betty— We're going to crash I”
paniment of the clicking of newspaper cameras. At first she missed Jackie terribly. Despite his weaknesses he had been her pal . . . Then, so gradually that she scarcely noticed it. Lieutenant Knox began to take her brother’^ place. They spent many quiet hours together that spring while the color slowly returned to Betty’s cheeks and the laughter to her eyes. They were married on Labor Day, and kept the spirit of the occasion by spending the entire morning moving hag and bag age into the bungalow they had purchased from Mr. Tweets. The little fellow fussed about them as they worked, offering innumerable suggest inns which they cheerfully ignored. Finally he went out to his car and returned with the inevitable package. “ ’Tain’t much of a wedding present, folks,” he said as he laid the parcel on the kitchen stove and began removing the paper. "But It’s the only thing 1 could think of and Its really mighty good for the nerves." “Thanks, Mr. Tweets! That’s swell of you,” laughed Betty as she accepted the bottle of celery tonic, “Stay and have a drink with us.” “No, thanks, folks." Tweets shook his head and started backing oat the door. “The quicker I got away from this place the better.” He scampered down the front steps, but In the middle of the path suddenly turned back toward them. “If you want your money back,” he offered, “it ain't too late.” “No, thanks. Everything’s simply marvelous." the newlyweds laughed. "Well.” The sourness of the agent’s face was belied by the twinkle In his eye. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” THLKND. ^

Period Designs Popular for Summer Formal
By JEAN ALLEN International Illustrated News Writer HOLLYWOOD The latest fasnion note in the film colony has to do with the popularity of period designs for those graceful summer formals so popular with milady for evenings at supper clubs or resort dances. Many of the smartest creations reflect the influence of the Second Empire period as in the charming dance frock modeled above by Claire Trevor. Slacks are also becoming increas ingly popular, so much so, in fact, that they have displaced skirts for many occasions on which such casual attire would have once been thought quit unsuitable. Slacks are now worri even for many evening affairs, around Hollywood hotels and to afternoon affairs. At the same time, fashion leaders of the film colony are not forgetful of the feminine charm of such an intriguing outfit as that worn by Rochelle Hudson. The skirt is long and full. The bodice is form-fitting
with long sleeves and fuschia velvet buttons mark the front closing form collar to hem. One of the highlights of Miss Hudson's frock is the full, sunburst pleatings around the high neckline and wrists, forming a simulated peplum. Fuschia colored velvet ribbons add a charming touch to the neck, waist and wrists. I he Margot" influence invades Hollywood in the beguiling evening gown worn by beautiful June Lang. It is a pale pink mouseseline over pink taffea. The cape, composed entirely of ruffles, is detachable, and is balanced by a skirt that Is very full at the lower edge. A wide sash of matching grosgrain ribbon is loosely knotted at the front. A frock of such design is (“specially suited to one of the height of Miss Lang whose dainty beauty and graceful figure require a judicious setting.
