Is Cupid Armed With Gun?
|Whcn Esther O'Rourke apparently decided that the traditional darts of Cupid weren’t sufficiently effective, she "went gunning" for her man and attempted to force Phineas Crooker at the point of a gun to take her to a Chicago suburb and marry her. At least that’s the story police said was told by Crooker, a Marlboro, Mass., candy broker, when he appeared to lodge a complaint against Miss ' • Rom ke. resulting in her detention in a police cell. Crooker, reJcs ■••d on 5200 bond, left post haste, seemingly convinced tilat such ^ alarming leap year tactics are not for him.
“Yes," Armand admitted between confusion and eagemeen, "I I was following you. You did smile at me a minute ago, didn't you'.'" "I believe 1 did." He said, hurriedly, “I was just wondering if you'd ask me to sit down, if I knocked on the door of the hex " "No," she said firmly. His f’.cc lengthened and she laughed. “But I would have taken you with me, Locgfacc, to Box B, where I'm going now’.” "Really? May I come along then?" Her gloved li^nd touched hi.s arm. •Why not? It is a better place to talk than here and we really eeemed fated to meet this evening." In ardent silence Armand looked at her and they proceeded to box B. "This is blind nick you know," Armand said when they were seated. "I was with some friends on tho v/av to 111? o r a tonight—” Her eyes widened. “But I was on
“I agree,” Armand said, swallowing hard. "It is funny.” "My dear," Prudence broke in e* citedly, "the Baron keeps looking over here. That must worry Olympe.” Armand was at the door with Gaston as the latter said to him in an undertone, "You've had a good lesson, my friend.” The reply was grim, effectively concealing the deep inner wound. “Don't think I haven't learned It by heart.” Marguerite addressed him imperatively. "Sit down Long-face, sit down. What is your name?" “Armand Duval," he returned shortly, “and I’ve never had any reason to be ashamed of it.” Her smile grew a little strained as she saw that Prudence and Gaston bad disappeared and Armand was prepering to follow them. “I’m not always sincere,” she said huskily. "One can't afford to be in this world. But—I'm not sorry the mistake happened." It was the closest she had ever come to a plea. He bowed formally, gallantly. “Nor I But," his glance tra\^ elled bitferly to de Varville, "there is a brandy awaiting me and other interests I believe, engage your attention." Finality was in his voice and in his step as he vanished through the door. V/earily, Marguerite tcaned back in her chair. So it was ended before it had begun. She was hollow, like an empty shell. Something had bloomed there, briefly, and then been coarsely plucked from its roots, all too soon. A crisp voice spoke to her from the dooiway. "Mademoiselle GaU-

Shyly, "As you say, fate must have hr.l s imetlung to do villi this, tonight," He gained courage, “i’ve hoped for it so long." He added wryly as she laughed, “You don’t beiieve me?’ Her smile softened it. “No.” He spoke forco.uUy, "But I’ve sc n you often, cn the street, in shops, at the th.et.e and each time, the woiid seemed belter “Tell me," rhe answer “if what you say Is true, way have you never spoken to ma before?

those who find joy in marine pictured. Air-travel in South America, except for hops across the Caribbean, not exceeding 700 miles each, is chiefly over land, or at least within easy view of coastlines. The tourist’s thrill is derived from the immensity of the Guiana jungles, the great delta of the Amazon, or the magnificent panorama of the Cordillera With these impressions there conies also the fascination of beautiful metropolitan cities. On the Pacific, however, cumulative impresisons are chiefly of the sky and marine. True it is that lovely ventured Honolulu and wellplanned Manila give memorable pictures from the air and pleasure when on the ground, but in the main, it is cumulous clouds, endless vistas of white-capped blue sea, or lemon-and-white skies at sunset, that linger in the traveler’s mind. In the early stages of air travel, when the flight operation itself is of
special interest, the mystery of navigation is fascinating. Here the transpacific trip has the call over the South American ride. The strange process by which the proximity of a beacon light can be announced before it is seen, the ability to diagnose typhoons even when the head-winds are yet light, the occasional dropping of the “drift bombs” to measure deflection from the course due to wind, have a peculiar interest to the uninitiated. A counter-attraction in Latin America is the highly developed system of weather reporting. This reporting is so systematized in ths Caribbean that the hurricane cannot truly be considered a menace to pilots. High up iii the Andes are little weather stations which report every mood of the storm king to the passenger planes before they leave Mendoza or Santiago. It is possible to predict some of thr> remarkable travel developments that will follow the further extension
