Dawn of Desire I?y FRANK PEARSON (McClur* By lull cat* WNU Sctvlc*.) 'TPO BE ushered by an ctfice boy who was a model of decorum into DeWitt Wright's private sanctum high above Wall Street was to be immediately conscious of the severe setting that served only to emphasize the austerity of the great 'financier's expression, so frequently displayed on front puges and rotogravures. There was not a single soft or rounded line in the great, square office room, as there were none in the harshly angled features of DeWitt Wright. The financier's stenographer-secretary was one of those young women who craved all the things of life that are both beautiful and secure. She wanted marriage; a home of her own?and children to love and scold. Her name was Jane Warden, and there was something angelic about her. DeWitt Wright was one of the most eligible and desirable bachelors in New York. Jane Warden was his secretary by reason of tier skill and intelligence. How could she surmount this business barrier, and influence him to see her now and then through eyes that would reveal her desirability as a woman , and a companion rather than a keen, efficient tool? One day when Jane was particularly blue over the prospect of drab servitude th*t stretched before her, she chanced on the formal card of a well-known astrologer in one of the magazines. In one corner of the card appeared this simple line: "Let me help you." Jane took fifteen dollars from her | slim bank account and sought the sacred, incense clouded ante-room of society's pet astrologer. Jane was nothing if dot direct. "I don't want a signed, figured horoscope with all my likes and dislikes. I just wan* to know one thing?how can I win the man I love?" Madame Francisco's reputation was not without foundation. She had helped many. She liked this girl's, directness*' "Miss?Warden? Sit here in front of me. Tell me the date of your birth, and the hour as nearly as possible?then let me look at you a little while . . . two . . . three minutes." Jane did as she was bid and the ceremony proceeded. Mme. Francisco's great dark eyes seemed to hold the girl spellbound; her magnetism enfolded Jane in a wealth of sure appraisal. "You are not human enough," the woman said softly. "Stop being the cold angel your name suggests. Do some little human thing like?oh, anything that will show this man without words that he is always in your thoughts." -- DeWitt Wright loved flowers. Aside from his pleasure in it he was vaguely aware that the rose in a slender vase on his desk, every morning fresh and fragrant as dew itself, . .was- in .some strange sense a message or an emblem. But the financier was a busy man, not fashioned for the subtleties of romance, so morning after morning he remained in his state of passivity regarding the rose until the day When he chanced to arrive extraordinarily early. His office door was flung wide and his rubber soled golf oxfords were noiseless on the wide cement approach. What he saw from his threshold gave him pause. Jane Warden bending over his desk, with the early sunlight from a tall window unsealing gold glints within her trim blonde bob. She was arranging his rose in its receptacle with delicate fingers that, now he thought of it, seemed moulded for caressing. With graceful movements, utterly unaware of the hungry eyes'that covered her, Jane stooped and patted into puffiness the flat little leather pillow she had but lately installed or iht financier's rigorous desk chair. . Something far alien to his being, something queer and warm stirred to the heart of DeWitt Wright. He pictured this girl in his bachelor " palace?arranging flowers, patting pillows, ifning tha wand of youth to turtf a solitary domain into an intixnate home. Dawn of desire! Acknowledgment of a great lack! He retraced his steps far down from the door as quietly as any cat?then wheeled arid entered his office with his accustoihed authoritative tread. Jane was sitting ready for dictation?poised at her desk as usual. They exchanged the customary negligent "good morning." At closing that evening, DeWitt Wright watched Jane Warden strcdghten her desk, cover her typewriter, sharpen a pencil for the next day, and don a smart hat and tailored jacket. Ideas clashed in his brain. Oh, to say something to her. For the first time in his powerful life words failed him. Sudden terror seized him as she spoke her bright "good night" and approached the door! She must not go. She could not go. He must unloose the words from hl? lips; unroot his feet from the floor. -DeWitt Wright actually lurched and stumbled as Jane s hand clasped the doorknob. ' > ? "JANEI" , . ** Brilliant achievement from DeWitt ^Bufbe could not have kaid more. Ere.....?Jt'j. Boy. Will Be Boy., Goethe Liked Puppet. The German poet, Goethe, was a friend of puppets from h|a childhood. When he was about the age of seven, a friend of his good mother made some puppets and sent them to him and his sister for a Christmas present. The mother had a happy thought. She made a little stage and set it in the doorway of a room, Just off the living room. On Christinas morning, so the story is told by Winifred H. -Mills and Louise M. Dunn in "Marionettes," after the children had seen their presents, she had the family sit down before the closed door. When she opened it, there was a kind of porch concealed with a mysterious curtain. The children were curious and eager to know what was behind that half-transparent veil. The mother, however, bade each sit down upon his stool. At length, Goethe says, "all were silent, a whistle gave the signal, the curtain rolled aloft and showed us the interior of a temple painted in deep red colors. The high priest, Samuel, appeared with Jonathan, and their strange alternating voices seamed to me the most striking thing on earth. {Shortly after entered Saul, overwhelmed with confusion at the impatience of that heavy-limbed warrior who had defied him and all his people. But how glad I was when the dapper son of Jesse, with his crook and shepherd's pouch and sling, came hopping forth and said, 'Dread king and sovereign lord, let no one's heart sink down because of this. If your majesty will grant me leave, I will go out to battle with this blustering giant!' " Boys Who Hit Sour Notes Should Avoid the Jun^Je Music in the African jungle is a serious business, says Dr. Wilfrid D. Hambly, curator of African etbnology at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History. Certain dark races have punishments that fit the crime of blowing sour notes or dropping a beat. The proper technique on the native drums or other musical instruments is no hit-or-miss affair. The boys who make "moosick" better strike the right note first or else?. Those : that don't get their ears cut off, their mouths slit and the offending hands chopped right off. Any American Jazx band planning an African tour better leave at home that saxophonist who wails off key, or drummer who "fakes sloppy" on the traps. Where hitting a false note or dropping a beat is such serious business the boys who made good occupy a high social position. But their job isn't only entertaining the other boys and girls. - The jungle drummers send messages to other tribes from 5 to 15 miles away?as the sound flies. If any mistakes are made, there's no second chance. Any traveling swing band that - could bring home a certain kind of African drum would certainly be a hit. A w&oden rod sticks up through the drum head. The player just rubs this protuberance with a well reeined hand, to bring forth wailf and groans ear-splitting enough to please the most confirmed "jitterbug." Roosevelt's Time Clock Near the front door in the residence part of the White House hangs a board with pegs in it, to check in and out all members of the household, It is described by Drew Pearson and Robert Allen as similar to the board used on ships in the navy, and is the latest navy touch in the household of the man whose friends call him "skipper." The board has two columns of cards, 24 in all, each card bearing a name. Opposite each name is a peg, which is plugged into the "out" hole or the "in" hole, as the person leaves or arrives. One feature about the board is that nowhere does it carry the nama of the President or Mrs. Roosevelt. Yet there is a card for each?a blank card. Every time the President leaves the house, a peg is moved opposite e certain blank card, known only to aides. The same for Mrs. Roosevelt Only if all the rooms are occupied, which does not often happen, ..are all 24 cards "active." In the cafe of Mrs. Roosevelt, the peg stands "out" more often than "m. Grand-daddy of Stamps During the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the postage itamp, collectors heard much talk sbout its father, Sir Rowland Hill, but little about its grandfather, Jacob Perkins. Without him, the penny postage stamp would not have been possible to produce economically. Probably about 1810, Perkins discovered that steel could be softened and hardened. Being a steel engraver and a printer of currency for the Massachusetts government, it occurred to him that one steel engraving could be transferred to ? steel plate in any number desired He went to England in 1818 to com pete for a currency printing con tract. and when the Penny Blacl was conceived, his firm of Perkins Bacon and Petch was ready wit! the machinery to bring it into th< world. i if Perkins was born at Newburyport Mass., July 19, 1766, and died h . London July 30, 1646. ; 7 r ... ? "Little Stories &r Bedtime By ThornfonTW <y Ihirg&ss ^ t MR. pi.ACKSNAKE WISHES HE HAD HURRIED |V/f R- BLACKSNAKE wus in no hurry. He had plenty of time. Anyway, he thought he had. He never likes to be hurried when he is dining. He long ago learned the wisdom of taking plenty of time for his meals, though to see him eat you would think him the greediest fellow alive, for he swallows his food whole. Now, as he looked in st the doorway' of the home of Drummer the Woodpecker end counted the five babies there his eyes * * "There Is either a snake or a hawk over there," he muttered. glistened. What a feast they would make! Just before he looked in they had been calling greedily for food, but now they were still. Though they knew nothing about him. they seemed to feeT that this was a terrible monster staring down st them with cruel, huhgry eyes. He drew back his head to look about him before going inside, and he laughed as Drummer dashed at him, coming so close that his Wingi actually brushed Mr. Blacksnake. who might have caught him if he had tried. But he didn't try. He didn't want a tough old bird when right within reach were five tender young birds. So he just hissed at Drummer and all the other birds of the Old Orchard, and ran ou( his tongue st them. The truth is he rather enjoyed seeing them so frightened and angry and helpless, and that is one reason why he did not hurry?to swallow those five helpleas babies. How, you know, the Old Orchard | is neur Farmer Brown's Bouse. Farmer Brown's Boy heard the great racket made by the birds as they screamed. Of course he did. He would have had to be deaf not to. He listened for a moment, then started toward the Old Orchard. ''There is either a snake or a hawk over there," he muttered, for he has learned much of the little people who live there, and he guessed from the sound of their voices, the excitement and the anger in them, that one or the other of their two greatest enemies was causing all this trouble. As ha walked he picked up a stick and a stone. "They may come in handy," he thought. Now the birds were so excited, and Chatterer the Red Squirrel, who had been the first to discover Mr. Blacksnake, was so excited, and Mr. Blacksnake himself was so intent on that good dinner that he was so sure of, that not one of them noticed Farmer Brown's Boy until he had almost reached them. Then Chatterer's bright eyes saw him. Chatterer gave a shrill cry of gladness. You know, he and Farmer BroWn's Boy are now very good friends. Chatterer is afraid of Mr. Blacksnake, and hates him, and when he saw Farmer Brown's Boy he knew right away that it meant trouble for Mr. Blacksnake, and he was glad. Not that he had a great deal of sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Drummer. If the truth is to be told, I suspect that Chatterer himself would have dined on those helpless babiis if he had dared to, but he didn't dare because ha. has a wholesome respect for the sharp bills of Mr. and Mrs. Drummer. He was glad, not for the take of Mr. and Mre. Drummer, but because he felt sure thet Mr. Blackaaake was in for a great deal ef trouble. "Kill himi Kill him!" shrieked Chatterer, dancing about in great excitement. ? And thie is just whet Farmer Brown's Boy made up his mind thet he would do when at last he caugM sight of Mr. Blacksnake just getr ting ready to take the first of Drummer's babies. Of course, Mr. Blacksnake heard Chatterer and looked around to see what1 it meant. The minute he saw Farmer Brown's Boy he wished with all his might that he had been e little quicker in getting his dinner. T. W. Butkm.-WNV S?rvle?.
