He listened to the marquesa until the door opened and Juanita appeared, lovely In yellow tulle, carrying his roses.

"The Mystic Krewe of Comus Is masked and in costume," Kirk ex plained, as they rode toward the theater where the ball wa3 to be held. The master of ceremonies calls out your name and you step upon the floor. At supper we unmask. You never went to a bail like that, Senorita Flore3?" The senorita never had. "Oh.

but Ysabel!" exclaimed the marquesa. "Then you will put on a mask, Mr. Stanard! How we gon' know you?" "You'll know me," said Kirk, "because I shall wave my hand." At the theater Kirk took them to their seats in what was the parquet circle. The parquet had been cleared for the dancers. "The high-sign, Marquesa," he said as he left them.

"Like this." But there were so many high-signs. The Krewe of Comus, appearing an army of PIerrot3 and Harlequins, beasts, pirates and devils, followed their queen with the court ladie3, marched about the ballroom, then broke ranks in the dance. The house murmured excitedly as the queen, white and splendid, sat upon the throne. The lights grew dim, and a silver knight blew a blast on his trumpet "The Marquesa de Cabrera!" he called. The marquesa rose and moved across the floor, bright heels flashing.

A masked black devil bowed low, received the marquesa in his arms. They moved out upon the floor. "Miss Bettina Byrnes!" A slip of a girl in blue met a grinning Cheshire cat. "Mrs. Dick Preston!" Sleepy eyes and a red wind-blown bob.

A tall Pierrot bowed. "Senorita Ysabel Flores!" A whisper went through the house. "Who i3 she?" "Came with Kirk Stanard. Visiting here with the Marquesa de Cabrera that first one, dancing with Adrian Fouche." Juanita was dancing with a black, and orange Harlequin. "I know your voice," said Jua-, nita.

"I know your dancing." Kirk wondered why the confes-' sion should make him so happy, "You could not disguise yourself from me, either," he answered in ai low voice. "How is Mrs. Belaise?" Juanita: asked. "Bored with Biloxi. She never goes there till the carnival is over.

She wants you and the marquesa to visit her in Biloxi. Will you do it?" "I'd love to." "It will help us to keep her there, and it's a part of the coast you wouldn't see otherwise," offering every reason for her going except the one closest his heart. What would prevent hl3 visiting In Biloxi? "I'll take you to Ship Island while we're there and to the isle of Caprice, the Monte Carlo of these parts. The marquesa will let you, I know. "I'll speak to her tonight." The devil, dancing with the marquesa, passed close to them, his eye3 meeting Juanita's under his mask.

Kirk, observing him, said, "He's got the third dance with you, and he can't get it off hi3 mind. And I've got the supper dance and the last. I can't get that of my mind either." "Does it burden you?" He nodded. "Like balloons that won't let me stay on my feet." The encore was a waltz, the lights dropping low. Strangely enough, Kirk guided Juanita through the dancers almost in silence, returning with her to her seat just as the marquesa and Me-phisto arrived there.

Mephisto kissed the marquesa's hand, bowed to Juanita. Juanita daneed with the Cheshire cat thi3 time. The marquesa danced with Kirk. "He 13 charming," she confided to Juanita. "We are going to their place in In Biloxi?" "When?" Juanita asked.

"I cannot tell. I must see Mister Divitt first." (Copyrigil. Dadd. if tad Co.)

The injured women were taken to the hospital in one of the Prince's cars, which he summoned immediately, and he himself departed in another car. The accident ocurred when the Prince's car turned out of the club driveway and smashed into the other machine.

UP) Means Associated Press Chapter 15 AT THE COMUS rIVITT came with the Marquesa Cabrera down the stair of the (Hotel Tijon and through the patio Into the parlors.

Divitt, glancing at Molly In her cage, looked for Juanita. Juanita was not there, nor Gabreau. Divitt, furious, went over to Molly. Molly knew nothing. Molly's eyes were on the marquesa.

Divitt turned abruptly, bidding the marquesa follow him. II found Gabreau at the top of the stair outside Juanita's door. "I Just' come," Gabreau explained. "She," pointing to Juanita's door, "go out because Ledbetter yell at her. He foller her.

I come out, land both gone." "Get back," said Divitt. "I'll take jcare of this." lie himself, upon entering the pa-tlo, had seen a man coma from the door and go out the gates. It had jnj doubt been Ledbetter. Divitt knocked on Juanita's door. The door opened, and Juanita i stood, trembling and furious, about to speak, halting at sight of the marquesa.

Divitt had closed the door. "I hear Ledbetter has annoyed you again," he said and, as Juanita remained silent, added, "Marquesa Cabrera, this Is Juanita or, as you will know her, Senorita Ysabel Flores. You may speak freely before the marquesa, Juanita." The marquesa herself began to speak freely a liquid patter of Spanish, at which Juanita, who had acknowledged the introduction by an upward movement of the chin, grew milder as she replied In the same soft music. The marquesa caught her hand. They sat down on the bed.

Divitt, too, sat down. The change in Juanita wa3 worth watching. "She is wonderful to find," the marquesa said, turning to Divitt. But Juanita had clouded again. "May I see you alone?" she said to Divitt.

Divitt opened the door. "Pardon us, Marquesa. Just a moment, on the balcony." The Marquesa graciously took her leave. "I prefer her to go, myself," Divitt explained when he shut the door, "for she knows nothing. You may speak freely to her about your jwork, but that is alL You came the Argentine, are In my house.

That's all she's been told. She ha3 just come from Spain no fortune, but a marchioness and a worthy companion." "Thank you," said Juanita, "but If I am to be insulted and my veil torn off "Your veil? Where?" "In the court Mr. Ledbetter followed me." "It Is dark in the court," said Divitt. "And Ledbetter will not be admited hereafter. I shall instruct Gabreau.

Moreover, you are not to be in the parlors every night You'll be out with the marquesa. Is that all?" "That is all," said Juanita. "Except I appreciate You are very kind." "Not at all," Divitt answered, opening the door. "You have brought many new people to the place. You will come back all the fresher.

All right, Marquesa." Kirk called for Juanita at the Tijon the night of the Comus ball, waiting In the Marquesa do Cabrera's suite. Kirk had telephoned, had been connected with the marquesa. They vould go Juanita and the marquesa. Kirk carefully selected the flowers. White roses for Juanita.

Orchids for the marquesa. Orchids did not suit her Kirk decided when she appeared in a red satin dres3 and huge earrings. "Carnations," thought Kirk, "or red and yellow flowers." LOCAL MEN TO ORATE AT AMBER SOX PICNIC Col. W. C.

TRINCE OF WALES IN AUTO ACCIDENT LONDON, July 31 (P) The Prince of Wales, returning from a 'PICKUP SYSTEM CONDEMNED (From Williamsport Gazette) It is rather disconcerting to read that the reports of missing persons in various parts of Pennsylvania, as compiled by the State police, totaled 893 for the first six months of the present year as compared with 4S3 in the same six months period of 1930. The Increase, almost one hundred percent, is accounted for in large measure by State police officials in dissatisfaction with conditions in general and the ease with which anyone may adopt the role of "hitch-hiker." Whereas, in the "horse and buggy" days a girl or boy runaway had difficulty getting many miles from home, the State police' say that, since begging rides has become common, they often pick up such runaways hundreds of miles from their homes.

And because "hitch-hiking" often LEGAL NOTICES ADMINISTRATOR'S I N- tice is hereby given that letters of administration on the estate of Jeremiah W. and Mary A.

WADEL. brought sullen silence, evasions, lies. "The police ask questions," says Little Italy, "about the men who shot the little ones. They get no answers. Even if the word were passed to the police, and the men were arrested, who would go to court to say they were the right men? "No, our way is different.

The men will pay. But not to the police." The neighborhood is not a squalid one. Four and five story apartments line the street, and trim, green window boxes are visible at every tier. It is a middle-class Sicilian colony that lives there, on the edge of black Harlem. Shop-keepers mostly, truckmen, factory workers, a few laborers.

With the donnishness of all Sicilians, they almost have a little city of their own. Fraternal club rooms are numerous among the basement places, and here and there a speakeasy, now tight-closed against intrusion of the curious. Crime and its shooting have touched the neighborhood before, but nothing like this daylight atrocity that has caused reverberations from the state capital to the White House. The scores of policemen thrown into the district, and most of the Italian-speaking detectives, say that this generally has been a peaceful spot. At least it is a neighborhood where a citizen could feel safe, and where he had no thought of danger in allowing his children to play in the street.

But now that death has struck, and two oc" the four wounded children are in a critical condition in a hospital, Little Sicily is afraid. Doubly afraid, for it cannot loose its tongue. Housewives and aged crones, who spend most of their days leaning on cushioned window sills and staring into the street, only shake their heads. "I saw nothing, signor. I was in the kitchen." Shopkeepers who were about their business only a few yards from the scene of the slaughter all tell the same story.

"The bullets came and I ducked. When I went to the street there were only the little ones in their blood." Old Joe Salcia the pushcart man, must have been at the corner. he insists, "the cop, he came and run me off in the morning. I not see the big black car." And so it goes. Scores of children, from adolescents to babies, saw the five little victims fall under the leaden hail.

Questioned, however, the youngest only stare, big black eyes distended with fright, and answer not a word. The bigger boys and girls, schooled in the tradition of silence by evasion, will describe volubly how they were playing at the other end of the iblock. -1 'CHUTE JUMPER KILLED AT ATLANTIC CITY ATLANTIC CITY, N.

"LITTLE ITALY" SCARED, WONT TALK ABOUTSHOOTING (Continved from vaqe one) fellows and the wounding of four others. Only a few doors down the street, at No.

210, a cheap little white wreath, wilted in the blazing sun, announced the presence of death. Scarcely a foot from it, flecked into the brick wall of the apartment house, was another grim symbol of the slaughter a group of seven bullet marks. From within, behind closed shutters, came the wails of a grief-stricken mother. Mrs. John Ven-galli's 5-year-old Michael there lay dead.

The children of the neighborhood had come there time after time to join the line that constantly filed by the little casket. They were silent, but not particularly awed by the presence of death. They were respectful as they listened to Mrs. Vengalli pray for her Michael. They crossed themselves dutifully and even added their prayers that another son, Salva-tore, might recover from his critical wounds.

But this was exciting to them; this was better than the movies. As a matter of fact, all the movie men were here dozens of them, with their cameras and microphones. Group after group had posed during the tragic aftermath of the shooting the weeping, praying mothers, the alert-looking policeman who had rushed in, empty handed, the children themselves, looking sad and distraught. But they tired of posing by the pock-marked walls of No. 210, of gazing sadly at the blood-stained steps of 209, of shaking their heads solemnly at curious detec tives and reporters.

So they got a miniature tin automobue ana, time after time, re-enacted the raid of the terrorists. Their play, however, ended differently than had the real attack. Each time the "death car" passed, and the screams of wounded were heard, some of the larger boys always wrought swift ven-genance on the cowering "gunmen" by slitting their throats. There was significance in this act. Questioning of scores of per sons milling in the street had, FOR RENT FOR RENT Apartment, third floor.
