I.uey hud left her Rolf clubs by tho din '"' 1 InK-room door. I quietly extracted one, of them. OroepiiiB to the door of the don, ' 'r.j-t' J peered Intdde. The man was softly opening and shutting- the "0 drawers of -my desk nnd pouring ' the- light beam "down into each in turn. This puzzled mo for I had .C-l over a ruR, betraying my position. Quickly recovering myself, I sensed a leveled plHtol in the man'ri hand. .Leaping forward, f brpusht the brnnfiie over my shbulder In a HirVGopJnff (ire. I struck blindly but landed a vicious blow on his nhoul dcr. Evidently the blow numbed his arm for the pistol dropped, un- explodod. LetthiK go of the brasslo I flunK myself at the fellow, lie could use only one arm' at first, but he waM bf-yond me in, Ktrermth and I don't bollove. I ever encountered such feroolty in a human being be fore. Ho put into the struggle a fury, a malignancy, a diubollcnl cunnliiK of which I was Incapable. And thin, mark you, -with his one hand. IVoV he brought tho other into play and I knew that he was polite to be too much for me. His f Infers wore like tnlon they seemed to be cracking tho sinews of my throat. , , Wreathing became agony, my ch duranco was leaving me, my head felt as If it were splitting asunder. Just then Polyandrla got between our foot. We stumbled over her nnd crashed to tne floor. ' The man grunted as If Polyandrla's claws had gotThome. ' Ho kept his grip op my throat, but I, lost mine on his. Moreover, he. maneuvered my body and his in such a way that I felt on my face and he came down astride of me. I tried unnvalllngty to fling him off. Cries for help rose In my throat, but I could not voice them; his grip tightened be- hc.z ,fnc' : "IIIh grip lUchtciinl. expected tofleo.hlm;rfllrig the cab .

Silence still. Color to Suit Emotional Needs . Latest Invention Announced for ! Putting Heart Throb in Talkies .By Howard W. Blakealea, Associated Preses Science Editor. iEW YpRK,. May a. (P) A new development In the "talkleaV whoroby a producer may "turn on the moonlight" for lovo scenes, or uao all the tints from blue, to red to run th,e gamut of emotidns, was announced Ijcforo the Society of .Motion Picture Engineers here to day. ' ' , - , Tho invention restores tho "col ors' which wero lost to some mo tion pictured -when tho "sound track" vfns introduced along the edge of tho photographic film. This does not mean pictures In natural colore? but Whadlng the whole scene to Any . iesired tone. It not only restore ithe color which was lost, but according to tho announce ment gOes further by replacing olght lost'toneii with 16 new ones. It Is designed to get, completely away from flat; 'neutral grey. - ( Tho restoration process was anr nounced by Loyd A. Jones, head of tho physics department of the Eastman laboratories. , , Ho said that tho colors will en able projection of scenes in all- over tints, giving tho blue of the sea to views needing that quality, orango peachblow to iove iCfcnes, cneerrui glow to iirelit scenes, yellow brilliancy for sunlight, emo tionally cool green to the forest, repressive dork blue tp murky night views and a pompous royal purple to ceremonial occasions. : "Careful study and experimen tation,"' said Mr. Jones "may lead to tho development of this lan guage or symbolism into a power ful emotional tool in the hands of tho master motion picture drama tist." The reason why- heretofore the sound track Inhibited use of colors was In the need of the photo-electric cell for plenty of light. Anything interfering with blue din-1 torted sound, and tho jold color i processes Interfered., ' In sight of the delegates today, Mr. Jones laid six to eight AtripeH of his color tone films one above ' the other, and let light penetrate i them. In whatever order he cotn-' bined them, a steady blue-violet I light camo through. Tho blue was' visible even through combinational thnt to the eye seemed devoid of that color. So much more sensi tive Ih the photo-electric eye than tho human organ, that under the new process tho rays operating the sound do not interfere with the op posite colors that appear on the screen. The new colors are sunshine, brilliant yellow; candle-flame, pas tel orange-yellow; firelight, soft orange-yellow; afterglow, rich or ange; peachblow, flesh pink; rose doree, deep warm pink;, verdante, a pastel green; aquagreen, brilliant blue-green; turquoise, brilliant blue; uzuro, strong1 skyblue; noc turne; deep violet blue; purplehnze, bluish violet or lavender: fleur-de-lis, royal purple; amaranth, pur ple with. a red tinge; caprice, cool pink; nnd inferno, fiery red tinged witb vagenta. These tints are projected from poHitlve films. Mr. .Tones told also of a newly developed negative, made especially to get rid of sound ! distortion, such as causes tho hero- i Ine to talk through her nose. In this development apparatus was perfocted that measured sounds too i faint for the ear to detect." ' ' I Taxiing Around1 The o Airports The Oraharn, Tor., municipal nil-port Kite.
