A Revealing Flask
U'HEN Richard turned ground
and came over to them, '!

Nina introduced him, and after

tinued on down.
Richard took Nina's arm. He be.

was different from most people's

could see that his eyes were alow.

She had to make an effort to an

"I was Just going to turn 'round."
But her legs kept right on walking
ahead, just the same. "I thought

"My dear child, when . ou left,
the party became as a pricked bal

Honey is now prone, with a cold
towel on her forehead, and a soda

"You Knew that the air would
do you good.

one.
Darkness came on all of a sud.
den. the wav it does in the autumn
and they lit cigarettes and walked
for some minutes In silence.
Nina began to feel an absurd
light-headed feeling; and when
they turned 'round finally, and
faced the lights o 89th street
glowing in the sky over the dark
outlines of the trees she had an
even more absurd feeling that she
would like to cry a little. Quite
happily, of course . . , because

Quite without volition, she

Adventure In Africa I
"THOSE IghU . . . they're quite
heartbreakingly beautiful
aren't they, Nina?'r
She nodded.
"Lights in the darkness have a
sort spot in my heart. He went on:
Once, in Africa, I got separated
from my safari . . . wandered half
the night through the dense under
brush, with nothing but my ciga
rette light and a pop light, to keep
the beasts away ... At first, I could
only sense that something; was fol
lowing me; and then either my
hearing became more acut- or my
inemy more sure or nimseu, De
eause I could hear an occasional
twis crackle ... a branc anan back
that I hadn't touched . . . I don't
think I have ever responded to
anything in my life, as I responded
to the beauty of those camp lights
iwinKiing out into tne African
night." He laughed. "I had reason
to. The next morning, our lead boy
bagged a huge black panther, not
500 feet from my tent."
The casual way he spokt of it,
made the horror seem all the more
vivid.
"Those snug little 59th street
pinpoints must seem pretty pale in
comparison."
"On I don't know. They mean
home . . . and safety."
"You mention all these places
In such an offhand manner,
Richard. Budapest . . . Shanghai
. . What were you doing in
Africa?"
"Oh, I had a place In Morocco
once with a friend." He looked
amused at some memory.
Nina thought she would never
get his life straight, and sh

Sometimes when she had been
a little girl, driving in the big open
car with daddy, she had slipped a
hand into the huge fur glove with

she were the same person as he.
She wanted to feel that way now.
A something soft fell n to her
face, and another. It was the first

"Look, Richard
But in a few minutes It had
turned into rain.
"Wait a second," he told her,
"I'll get a cab."
They paused under a street
lamp, but though several passed,
they were all occupied.
After a minute, two cars shot
out of the side street on a green
light. The sedan turned south, ut

He was safe, but Nina stnnrf

In the fraction of second that
she had watched him in danger of

to her . . . and she was friphtene1

Just A Silly Girl
ON Thanksgiving evenin Nina
left the Fenwicks' dinner
party as earlv as she rleepntlv
could. Honey was a confirmed
stoy-out-late-e- and Nina wanted
to be in bed when they got home.
She chose to olav back
rather than bridge, because it was
easier to break up one person's
game, than three. And sl.e chose
to piay witn Tom Halliday, Betty's
brother, because he was so easy to
handle.
Tom was a nice, ugly, boyish
person, whose every remark you
could predict. If j r.u said it was a
grand party, he would say, yes, :t

Fishing with roisnns
Though the poisons ueed by the
Indians of South and Central Amer
ica In catching fish are poisonous to
hnmnns us well as to fish, they do
not poison the flesh of the fish killed
or stupefied by them. Several differ-
ent poisons are used for catching
fish, all of them being extracts from
various plants.
Methods In "poison fishing" vary
also. The simplest Is that of pouring
the plant extracts In a river, then
wading Into the water and picking up
the dead or stupefied fish that float
to the top.
One species of fish, the 3heat-flsh,
cannot be caught by means of the
poison method. Seeming to feel In
stinctively when the water has been
poisoned. It swims speedily down the
river to escape the poison's eflect.
