Hysteria SHI left the motor of her car running, sped up the two flights of stairs without waiting for the elevator, and thumped on the door. When she saw the knob turn she said, half aloud: "Oh. thank God!" and then the door was open and Joyce was there. She rushed past, hearing the door close behind her, turning, finding Joyce in front of her again. The envelope, Joyce! Oh, I'm ao glad you're here." "You got the call?" Delia wanted to scream. Would the stand there forever? Couldn't ahe see what it meant? "Oh, darling, hurry!" she plead ed. "Give it to me. If I'm not there by thirteen minutes after ten he may be gone." Joyce started to protest, but stepped quickly to the desk and opened the drawer, "But can't you tell me?" she aald. "Have you called Jack ten ner? Where are you going?" "Morton Street." "Alone? But you can't "I have to." "You haven't called Jack Fen ner." Jovce said sharoly. "And you've got to, Delia. He's got to go with you. There isn't time.

"I'm going with you," Joyce said, and opened the closet door. Delia lumped her foot n ex asperation and tried to pull Joyce aside. "I won't have it 1 tell vou. You're not going." Tears of vexa tion brimmed in her eyes and then Joyce opened the door and was talking fast her chin firm and eyes resolute. "I'm going, Delia. I won't even get out of the car. You can meet him by yourself, but I'll drive you there. . . . We should hurry, shouldn't we? There can't be much time." In the car Delia said: Tm sorry I lost my temper." "You didn't really," Joyce said. "But I had to come. Delia fell silent and watched the panorama of lights slide past the car windows. The city was taking on new character now. Gradually the welter of little neon signs became more widely spaced until there were none at all save those on all-night drug stores and greasy-looking sand wich shons that nosed as restau rants, presently Joyce turned right and then they were in a street where even the drugstores could not flourish, "We're nearly there," Joyce said. This is Morton Street" . Delia sat up. Even by iavlight the street must have been a dis couraging prospect: at night it had become an avenue of empti ness and shadows, where three and four-story brick buildings marched along in unbroken ranks and the street lamps on the cor ners served only to make the middle of the block more obscur. The Number "ITS the next block. I think." ' Joyce said. "See if you can find a number on one of those stores." The car was throttled down as far as it would go now, and when they crossed the intersection, Joyce shifted into second so that they might move even slower. "Yes." sne said presently. "This is It. I just saw number 220." "Park anywhere." Delia said. "Not too close. Joyce." The car nosed in toward the curb and came to a stop in the middle of the block. She looked at her watch. It was five minutes after ten. Jovce cut the mnitlon and switched off the lights. For a few seconds they sat there without a word, and Delia could look down along the empty sidewalk to the next corner. 'Well she said, and reached for the door handle. "It shouldn't take me long. rou re sure you don t want me "Quite. The rest should be easy Room twenty-four, he said." She felt a hand press hard on her arm and for just an instant her de termination wavered: then the moment passed and she a, all right again. She put her hand on Joyce's and pressed It. and found herself on the pavement "I'm glad you came, ahe said. "J neeaea you. "And if you're not back in five minutes." Ten. Joyce. Make It ten." "AU right" Joyce said. "And then you d better call the police. You're not to follow me. no matter what you think." She shut the door and went along the empty sidewalk, snug gling her coat more tight'.) about her, telling herself she was silly, melodramatic, talking about the police, and what to do if she did not come bsck within ten minutr-j. There was no sense in that The man wanted the envelope, not her.

J., July 11 OP) Caspar Warren Briggs, 9S, dean of American photographers who helped establish the motion picture industry but had little faith films would amount to anything, died yesterday at his Ventnor summer home. Briggs followed in death with in two weeks William H. Jack son of New York, 99, whom he succeeded us oldest living Amer ican photographer. The two met in Philadelphia last year for the first time. A native of Norton, Mass., Briggs and his father, Dr. Daniel H. Briggs, purchased in Phila delphia in 1872, the magic lantern business of Frederick Langsnheim, inventor of the forerunner of the films. Three years later Briggs brought out his "slip slides" in which figures painted on a lantern slide moved horizontally across a scenic background im posed on another slide. The first production was "Lincoln's Assas sination," a popular feature that was followed by a series of such melodramas as "The Drunkard's Daughter," "The Bottle," "Fa ther, Dear Father," and "Ten Nights In a Barroom."
