THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. 'NEW YORK, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 191U. 1 1 1 1 Z7 I SOCIETY BEDFORD STARTS DRIVE FOR $500,000 i The Eagle' "Complete in Two Weeks" Love Serial THOSE WHO DANCE By GEORGE K1BBE TURNER L0CKW00D SCORES REPUBLICANS WHO 'KNIFED' CANDIDATE To Wed Brooklyn Man self out to be was to lie abed, so the Carney girl went out, got his breakfast and brought It back to him.

tiny came back fur he hadn't slept anv too mill that night before. "Whnt'd you get anything?" she aked him. standing before the mirror, pulling lier hiilr in order. Kane, watching yimight he'd never seen such hulr in his life nor a "Iralghteer, finer-looking girl. "Nothing much." lie said, not tell-Ing her yet what bed done.

"Did yon gf-t anything out of her?" "No." she told him. excepting that the Greek's pretty sure to be back here late "Hut what will we do then?" she risked him. "If I but window 's closed up "Well we'll work It out some w.iv." he told lier. "But I'm sorry now I dldnt hang onto that first Idea I had about sneaking In a dictagraph." he went on not telling her yet what he'd done, but getting her ready, thinking the more anxious she was the more she thought she was in a hole the more satisfied she would be when she found he had pulled her out of it by this thing he'd put In there even If she had .1 AS1 The engagement of Miss Beatrice Boynton, daughter of Mr. and Mra.

Frank B. Boynton of Ithaca, to Lester M. Lehrcnkrauss of Brooklyn and Huntington Bay, has just been announced. Miss Boynton's family is well connected in Brooklyn. Mr.

Lehrcnkrauss is the son of Julius kehrenkrausa, banker, of this borough. "He's gone already," she told him bout the Greek, "aft-r having word for us that he was sorry but he could not help It. Hi' had to go out ot town to see the politicians on the may for The. What's really going on Is he's stalling, waiting until he hears from Hlaney, Just how he's got to net. lo's uen drinking so this poison that Hlaney's keeping his hand right on him all tho time for fern- he might go jtony-oyed and spill the whole thins." She was getting piettv nervous herself Kane could see that over the way (he thing was going.

"Whatil do?" she asked him, her face getting flushed. "Supposing he don come back here This leaves ns only two nights more!" 'Well work something for you, said Kane. He was getting good and porry for the girl. "He being out of here, we can use that lime just os veil as he can. You take her out," he told her about the Vernon woman.

"And I'll take a look around to see what I can see, while you're gone." He hadn told her about that telet phone thing of his remembering what Hie suid about the dictagraph: thinking lie put It in first and tell her afterwards. "And this would give him his chance to put it In. He went Into that gaudy lierlroom of the Greek's and lo'Kil around to see where he would Het up this new style telephone-this Instrument for listening In. He would have liked to eel It up somewhere near the bed, where they'd be lying when they talked. But then he saw that would be taking too many chances.

Then he saw there was a woman dresser on the wall next to theirs, one of those fancy ones they have with the big swinging oval minor. So finally Kane, hurrying all tho time for fear they might walk in on him, took' out his little hit and gotthiough the baseboard and ran a wire un in back of the dresser and put the little receiver in there. Just below where the mirror would swing back. He cleaned everything up, so far as he could see, and got back in his own room and on the bed there, lying there with all his clothes on but his coat and shoes, ready to duck in under when tho women came: and lay waiting then for them to come in. But It was a long time before they got there.

He got up after a while and shaved himself, and while he was doing so, he was more or less worried about that scar they had painted on his face. It was there all right as they told him it would be. But it looked to him as If It might have faded put just a little. He wished anyhow it wasn't there. He had to take nil kinds of pains with his shaving not to get It wet or rub It.

They said it would stand some wet, and any ordinary ruhblng it might get but you didn't want to be too reckless about handling it, especially when you knew It couldn't be put on again, if it ever did go wrong. After he shaved, he lay down again on the bed and lay there another while waiting, listening for the girls to come back. But they didn't show up for quite some time. And he got to thinking naturally of that girl he was with. He lay there thinking about her quite a while.

There might be some excuse for her being hauled Into that life by her brother you could not tell! And she might use that pis. tol, at that. If anybody bothered her for he certainly thought in spite of what Monahan had said to him, the girl was all right, "She certainly acted so up to now." he said to himself. And dropped off to sleep on the bed a minuto before More About Books thought It would be taking too iu.in chances. lie got up and ate lunch with them stun out of the delicatessen shop, of course.

Anil then went back in ami lay down again, saying he could stand some sleep, which was no lie, considering the facte he had been awake practically all that night before and ould be probably the coming one. lie tested out his telephone instrument, once when the two women were In the other bedroom. And It worked fine. You could hear pin drop. And then he (rolled over ni'd t'ol; a good long sleep, till t'lev go) him up for dinner.

i Thev played crnls that night- women's poker, lie had a chance to practice on th Greek woman how he'd act when the Ore'; finally shewed up. And when the d.d not rone toward 11 clock. Mine told them he was going to call It fi and went back and trot his lis-eiilng machine n'l ready for him when he did show up. "The next train from Trenton." the Greek's woman, had told them, before he went into the room. Just before midnight.

So probably he'll think he'll come In right after that." (To Be Continued) JEWS AS POETS ARE PRAISED BY SPEAKER "The American Jew today Is mak ing a real contribution to American poetry, as well ns to science, commerce and finance." said Dr. Kilns Llebcrman. prlncipul of the Thomas Jefferson High School, speaking hist night on "American Jewish Toets" a the Temple Sinai. Arlington ave and Bradford st. "Robert Browning, one of th greatest of all poets, had Jewish blood in his veins, and James Russell Lowell was proud to trace his ancestry to Jewish sourreR, and In this connection It is hard to realize that today one of his descendants Is now condoning the exclusion of Jews ut Harvard University.

David, author ot the Psalms, and King Solomon were among the first Jewish poets, ami today, in America, the is contributing a good deal to American poetry. "The American Jew has been ac-cused of being primarily a materialist, of being too much in love with gold. This charee is not true. Gold was his only escape fiim persecution, and the Jew, endowed with his natural wit, quickly sought bis only opportunity, which was in commerce. However, the Jew is a poetic dreamer, as well as a business schemer." FOR NEW BUILDING I "Composite Brooklyn Boy" Is Auctioned Off as Work Is Lined Up.

The composite Brooklyn boy was auctioned off" last night at the Ho- tel St. George for The oc casion was the start of a 10-dny campaign to raise half a million dol lars, for the construction of a Boys' Building us an adjunct to Bedford Y. M. C. A.

Would you give a thousand, five thousand dollars for his mind? How much would you give for his soul, and how much for his body? What would you give for a combination of the three?" Will Supercede Old Buildings. The proposed building will super cede the old structure on Gates, near Xostrand which was closed more than a year ago because It had out lived its usefulness and was Inadequate to fill the demands placed on Its facilities. The new boys building will cover 1,800 square feet and will extend from Gates ave. to Monroe at.

In the rear of the men's building. John T. Barry, chairman of the Bedford Branch briefly de scribed the need for such a structure as the proposed edifice In Brooklyn. He said that the campaign to ruise the (500.000 must not be approached as solicitations by beggars but from the standpoint that the adult, com munity owes a duty to the men of tomorrow. He Introduced former Congressman Frederick W.

Rowe, chairman of the campaign commit tee, as the toast master. "Today Brooklyn has reached such a point of development," said Hr. Rowe, "that boys are compelled to play on the streets.

A LIGHT BLUE ROMANCE "PEGGY OF BEACON HILL," by Maysle Grcig. (Small, Maynard Co.) This book's cover Is light blue with the figures stamped on It in black of a youth drinking out of a flask, unother tooting a saxophone, a girl in a sleeveless gown'blowlng smoke rings, and a couple jazzing a bit. All I his is in harmony with the contents, which relate to the unconventional adventures of Peggy Mason, girl from North Cambridge.

in the pseudo-Greenwich Village of Boston. As the story opens. Pegiry Is darning a sheet. She looks out onto the courtyard bf the large apartment house wherein sha dwells, and murmurs resentfully half aloud. i ages, mat what they all are; little two-roomed, three-roomed cages, those apartments.

holds some woman, like a rooped-up bird; a canary with no liberty. So she keeps on murmuring until she rips the sheet and says, "Oh. damn." Shortly after she is the inheritor of a thousand dollars from an uncle, so rehrls against her fiance, who would gladly support her for life in one of the apartments, and makes for Beacon Hill, Boston. After experience In a revue she becomes part owner of a coffee house, falls In love with a married man; after an almost all night petting party goes to his apartment and has breakfast with him, and otherwise thinks she is being devilish.

"I don't knows" said Kane steady- ng her. "We'll work up something." But by and they heard the voices stop in the other room and hey knew It was no use for them to stay there any longer. "You'd better go over to your side the room," ho told herfor they had agreed beforehand to kind of split up the room between them. each one to have their side. "You'd belter turn in," he suid, "and get romo sleep.

You'll need it before his thing is over." And after a while she said she would, and she went over and lay down on tho bed in some sort of a Lloose gown she had put on when she first came In His could see' her just dimly reach In a nd put something under her pillow an auto matic pistol, ho thought It might he and thought what Monahan had said about watching her always; and alter that something else again! Then at. 3 clock he went and rlropped out one of the little pebbles he had brought in for the purpose, with the piece of paper wrapped around it, for Monahan. "Out with B. tonight, No other news! he had written on it. Looking out Kane thought he saw figure coming out of the shadows three stories underneath, and pick ing lit up.

Then he went back, lay down In the corner- where she had fixed It up for him on the floor, with a blanket and one of the pillows. John Kane dldn sleep. He was kind of sorry for the girl. It was a hard thing for any woman to be going through. He looked over to the bed, where the girl was, ana she was lying awake, too, he made un his mind though she didn't move a particle either.

But finally he saw her raise her self up partly, an Inch at a time, looking over, It seemed like, to where ho, was. Ho didn't say any thing; he just lay there waiting. And bv and by he saw her reaca unuer the pillow where her autonmtic was. It gave him a jolt naturally es peclally remembering the dope that Monahan had given mm about tnis whole thing, maybe, being some kind of a plant. But It was dark he could scarcely see her, just her outline: and he figured she could Bee him still less, down there the corner on the floor, with nothing to outline him, as she had, against the wall.

So ho ay. ready to Jump all the time. But still -waiting, not believing she would shoot anyhow especially when she couldn't see him at all. And he couldn't iilte believe she would shoot anyhow. And then he almost had to laugh out loud for he saw what she was doing.

She was sitting there, telling her beads, praying for her brother probably. She had had her rosary under her pillow probably. It was a queer thing, too wh-n he thought of It that thief's woman sitting there In the dark praying. He then said his own prayers and went to sleep, The next day was the one that they had It framed up that Kane or this Scar Henry, as he made, him They 13th M. ami For twenty have know In International and of their done more buying maker They International with special Says 5th A.

The lack of support by the Republican clubs of the 6th and' 23d Assembly Districts, according to Charles Lockwood, Republican leader of the 5th A. led to the defeat of the Senatorial and Congressional candidates In these districts, and was deplored by the former Senator In an address last night before the members of the Kings County Republican Club at their regular mtetlng in their club rooms, 202 Patchen ave. Mr. Lodttrood declared that it was it great surprise to him that the members of the clubs in the other districts did not stand behind their candidates, as did those of the fith A. II.

He said that not only did they not full to support their can- lldates but that many members went out against them. He declared that the tabulation of the votes showed better the existing condition, as Gov. Smith had but a plurality In the jth A. D. of a little over votes, while In the 6th nnd 23d Assembly Districts his plurality was over 6,000 and fi.til'ii votes, respectively.
