Cop Retains His Job Though He May Be Rich
CLARA WAS
SOBBING
By JANE OSBORN
'A'.VA'A'.'.'A',VAV
Hollywood, Cul. Everybody knows
policemen are skeptlcul, and Herbert
R. Reynolds, traffic officer of Holly
wood, Is no exception. In the squadron
at the police station, fellow officers
recently crowded nround and congrat
ulated him on fulling heir to $500,000.
"Maybe yes and maybe no," Rey
nolds commented, leuvlng hurriedly
to take up Ills duty aa directing traffic
officer at Hollywood's busiest corner.
According to Attorney Charles
Knudson, the money was left Reynolds
by his father-in-law, Mangug Brown,
In Philadelphia.
Despite a year's separation between
Reynolds and bis wife, the Brown
family la said to bold a warm spot In
Its beart for Reynolds, who submitted
to eight blood transfusions to save
the life of bis sister-in-law.
14. lsaa, AicClure Newspaper Syutlicate.)
Bertram sat at the fragile bit of
furniture that his landlady had desig
nated aa a writing desk aud begun to
write.
"Dear Bill:
"So far 1 haven't found life In the
big city so very exciting"
Then he stopped, laid down his pen
and listened Intently. After a full
minute of ucute listening, hearing
nothing, he resumed.
"I left the hotel and am living in
a boarding house. Of course no man
wants to live In a bourdiug house al
ways "
Again the fountain pen was laid
down and Bertram listened, looking
Intently at the wull In the direction
from whence the sounds came. The
sounds were faint, but quite surely
they were sobs. He heard them again
low, soft, heartbreaking sobs sobs
that would Induce at least mild nos
talgia In the heart of anyone so far
from home as was Bertram.
"The girls here aren't anything won
derful. To be sure I've seen some
thpt dressed better and looked smarter
than the girls home. There are a
couple of girls In the office, but I
never cared about mixing business
and"
Just then a succession of sobs deep
er and more poignant than the lust
were heurd and then a quick, really
startling thud. Bertram listened for
the cry or shriek that he t hough t
ought to follow this lust sound of
trouble but none came, so he resumed
his brotherly letter.
" a girl In the boarding house that
looks pleasant and rather pretty that
I've spoken to because we sit oppo
site each other at table. If I get really
lonesome I'll get acquainted with her,
though she seems a bit stiff and might
not be Interested."
Bertram wrote a little more, telling
his brother of his share of success In
his work and of his plans for the fu
ture and then the soft, low sobbing be
gan again.
"I guess I'd better quit," Bertram
wrote. "This old house must be
haunted or something. Anyway there's
a queer noise coming through the walls
that makes writing hard. Hope It will
stop before I try to sleep."
The next evening just as Bertram
bad opened a new magazine, lighted
his favorite pipe and spread out on
the lounge chair which was the only
really luxurious piece of furniture In
his room, the same sort of soft sob
bing began. He closed his book.
Rainy night though It was, he donned
his hat and coat and went out, found
a nearby public library, took a book
on engineering from a shelf and pro
ceeded to work over most complicated
problems of his profession.
The next morning at breakfast Ber
tram scrutinized the faces of all the
boarders In the dining room, and he
went thither early and left late so
that be might be able to see them all.
He tried to And one In which lingered
traces of the sadness that had been
poured forth in that soft, gentle sob
bing In the next room. Nobody there
could sob like that, he concluded, bo
perhaps It really was a spook.
Meeting his landlady In the hall
that evening, he asked her whether
the room next tils was occupied and
in that way drew from her the Infor
mation that It was now, and had been
for the past two years, occupied by
Miss Clara I'ringer.
"She sits across from you at table,
smiled the landlady. "Nice girl and
not at all stuck-up teaches school
high school, I think sends money
home to an Invalid aunt "
"She Isn't unhappy " began Ber
tram.
"Bless your heart, no," said the
landlady. "What would she have to
be unhappy about? got a good Job
got her health, and doesn't give a
whoop for the men."
"Of course, of course," said Ber
tram and went up to his room.
He had determined to forget all
about the sobbing and would perhaps
have done so hud It not disturbed his
peace of mind that evening. It was
very faint, very much subdued and
might not have been audible to one
possessed of less acute sense of hear
ing than Bertram.
The next morning Bertram scrutl
nlzed Miss Clura I'ringer rather closely.
True, he observed, she appeared to be
happy, but there were light shadows
under her gray eyes, a delicate turn
to her pretty lips that might betoken
sorrow. Certainly she looked a little
more weary, now, than she did when
he first came to the boarding house a
month before. Without quite meaning
to do so he asked her If she had. been
at home the evening before, and she
aid that she had. He asked her If
the Intended being at home that eve
ning, and she replied: "I haven't
planned anything," In such a way that
Bertram boldly asked her If she would
"go to the movies" with him.
The next night he sat In his room
and the sobbing began : Listening
more Intently than ever, he heard be
tween the sobs a low, pathetic mono
tone of words. Now perfectly sure
that Ida neighbor must be absorbed li
some consuming grief Bertram felt
that U was almost hla duty to take
her out when she would consent to
go, to divert her at table, and in every
way try to take her mind from her
great sorrow. And for some reason
or other Clara seemed to have no ob
jection to being thus cheered by her
fellow boarder.
Then one night as he sat In his room
he heard the sobbing again. He had
not heard It for a week, perhaps be
cause for every night for a week he
had taken Clara out to a play, the
movies," a lecture, the art museum,
a walk In the park and once to dinner
where they danced.
Following a long pause came more
sobs and then without warning a thud
that seemed to be just beyond the
wall of Bertram's room. Bertram lis
tened a second and then quite clearly
came a cry of pain, and then silence.
In the minimum of time Bertram
was In the hall, found the next door
unlocked and had made his way into
the room. There he found Clara sit
ting on her daybed rocking back and
forth nursing her right arm lu the
bend of the left one.
"Ouch," she said with a pretty pout.
and then she jumped up from the day
bed and offered Bertram a chair In
her little room. "You fell, didn't
you?" he asked.
"Yes," she srdd. "T don't seem to
be able to leurn the trick, l'id you
ever do a stage faint? You have to be
perfectly limp and then you can go
down without hurting yourself but It
takes a lot of courage, and this time I
hurt my arm bo that I couldn't help
crying out. You heard nie, didn't
you?"
Bertram had moved his choir very
near to Clara on the daybed. He was
looking Intently Into her eyes, search
ing them for the tears that lie thought
must be there. "And I heard you
sobbing," he said with sympathy.
"Miss Prlnger Clara won't you tell
me? Won't you let me help yout If
my love would be of any help?"
"Of course It would If you really
mean It," said Clara, looking very
much surprised. "I'd no idea you felt
that way about me. But really I
wasn't sobbing. That Is, It wasn't real
sobbing you see I'm to be In a play
that the teachers are giving at school.
And I have to take the part of the
unfortunate sister whose lover Is lost
at sea and I have to sob and then
faint when they tell me he's lost
and I've been rehearsing every night
for weeks. It's so hard for me to sob
perhaps because I've always found
so much In life to be merry about."
"You darling," said Bertram taking
her Into his arms. "I wanted to marry
you any way but I'd so much rather
marry a girl who didn't spend her eve
nings sobbing."
Now He Never Would
Get Those Smackers
It was a $6 murder. One negro
shot another. This Is hl9 verbatim
police confession, with the names al
tered because so-called confessions are
often repudiated:
"I went to call on Mr. Brown at
his home on Antolne street. I knocked
on the door and Mr. Brown said to
me: 'Come right In, Peg-Leg,' so I
went in.
"I looked at Brown and I says to
him: 'Brown, would y'all mind glvln'
me back them six smackers y'all owes
me?
"Mr. Brown he just smiled at me
and he says:
" 'Peg-Leg, they ain't a chanct In the
world fob you to get them six bucks.'
"I look kinda hard at him and I
says: 'Brown, where for you get that
apple sauce Ah ain't eer goln' to get
them six smackers?'
"He reached right Into his pocket
and hauls out a big black gun. He
done laid It on the table and then
he says to me :
" 'I'eg-I-eg, I told you you ain't got
no chance to get them six bucks.
There'B man proof layin' right there
on that there table.'
"Well, sir, took one squint at
Brown and then I got geared. I reck
oned he might shoot me. so I Jest fired
as fast as I could.
"Course, they ain't no use mah tell
ing you I never will get them six
smackers now."

Insulation From Milk
It is said that there has been de
vised a process for making Insulating
pieces out of milk curds. The curds
are stirred Into a paste with cold
water, and coloring matter is added.
If bo desired, the result being heated
to the boiling point. After the paste
has been boiled for ten minutes, con
tinued stirring reduces It to a uni
form pulpy consistency. This pulp Is
then taken, while still hot, to a hy
draulic press fitted with hot molds of
the shape In which the Insulation
pieces are wanted. After being pressed
Into this shape the pieces are cooled
and dipped Into formalin which adds
the needed quality of a preservative.
