The first occurred when Aubrey Cafcfoll, a boy, and Audrey Fleming, a1 girl, moved the same day into neighboring apartments on the twenty-eighth floor of the Brewster Arms. The second occurred on the Monday following, when they descended in the same elevator and saw each other for thd first time and experienced similar sensations of a thrilling nature. Aubrey, for example, decided he'd never seen anything quite so lovely as Audrey, though, of course, Audrey could only hope that that's the way Aubrey felt, it not being conventional to ask. Aubrey, also, decided that Audrey was nice. .She had about her the look of a nice girl, which pleased and grieved him at the same time. It pleased him because he wanted her to be a nice girl, and it grieved him because he was a fairly respectable young man himself, and fairly respectable young men don't approach nice girls without being properly introduced. Back again at the apartment that night, he looked hopefully at the half dozen people Vrho were waiting for the elevator, but Audrey wasn't among them. In fact, he didn't see her again for four' days. It was in the morning, riding down on the elevator, 'and the way they looked at each other you would think that something ought to be done about the situation. A week passed. Aubrey saw the girl twice. Each time he felt the same queer sensations, and was forced to restrain an impulse to speak to her. Instead he began contriving again, casting about for some plan or scheme by which he could promote his purpose without it appearing too obvious. It was at this point that happy coincidence number three occurred. Or perhaps it wasn't happy. At least for some people. At any rate, Aubrey arrived home one night to find that elevator boys all Over the city had declared a general strike. This was something of a tragedy, especially for people like Aubrey who. lived on the twenty-eighth floor. Instead of sputtering about it, however, he set out to make the ascent via the stairs, arriving sorrte fifteen minutes later quite out of breath. . Entering his apartment he was considerably annoyed to find the place cold. He went at once to the house phone and called the switchboard operator. The janitor, she told him, had dropped dead that The fires had gone out, der and Mrs. George Adams and low climate may benefit his health. but they were getting therri started to Walter Walsh and Mrs. Ben Ken- C.

Without thinking, Aubrey said: "It won't do any good. There's been a strike. About an hour ago it started." "Oh." She regarded him woefully. "I was going down to complain about the lack of heat. My radiator's stone cold." "So's mine," said Aubrey. "That's because the janitor dropped dead this afternoon." He studied her a minute. Obvioufely she was suffering from the cojd. "You'll catch pneumonia if you ctay up here. Suppose we go down to the boiler room and see what can be done?" Audrey's face brightened. "I'd like to do that. I've never seen a boiler room." And so they clumps down the stairs, and the 28-story descent didn't seem far at all because each was too conscious of the other's presence to notice. On the thirteenth floor Aubrey paused and said: "We'd better introduce ourselves. My name's Aubrey Carroll." /"Aubrey? Why, isn't that queer. Mine's Audrey. Audrey Fleming." Which .more firmly established the bond of intimacy between them. Five minutes later they reached the boiler room. There was a brisk fire going in the huge furnace, but the man who was stoking it said it would take a half hour before it climbed up to the top floors. Audrey chafed her hands together. "It's warm enough here," she said. And Aubrey nodded. "I'll tell you what. Suppose I get some sandwiches arid some coffee. We'll pull up a couple of chairs and have a picnic." "Lovely!" said Audrey, her eyes sparkling. "Why, that wiU be loads of fun." It was more than an hour before they left the boiler' room. "It's been swell," Aubrey said enthusiastically. He looked at her intently. "By gosh, enough certainly had to happen to--to get us together." He grinned. "Please don't take offense, if I say it was; worth waiting for." "Why, no," said Audrey. "I think it's very nice for you to say it. In fact--" she paused. "But coincidences are rather undependable, don't you think?" Aubrey looked at her. He wasn't quite sure that he caught her meaning. But at least he certainly didn't intend to leave future developments up to coincidences. George Thomas, a butcher employed at a Libertyville store, suffered cuts about the face late Sunday afternoon of last week, when a large pheasant crashed through the windshield of his automobile, while he was driving along Lake Zurich road. "'Pheasants' are very choice eating," said George, "but the price of a new windshield glass would buy a complete dinner, to say nothing of the injuries to my face." Dog owners of Richmond and. vicinity are aroused by the death of their favorite canines by poisoning the last two or three weeks. About fifteen or sixteen dogs have met the poisoner's fate and irate owners are highly incensed over their losses. Owners of dogs who have not met their fate are keeping their dogs muzzled or keeping them shutjn at home. Nearly 2,000 miles apart, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Sprague, Cherokee, la., died at almost the same time. Mrs. Sprague was killed in an automobile accident at Turlock Cal., Saturday afternoon of last week. Sunday Mrs. Sprague's nephew attempted to call from Fresno, Cal., to report the death. Unable to get an answer at the Sprague home, the operator notified authorities. They investigated and found Mr. Sprague dead of heart disease. Officers said Sprague apparently died a few hours before his wife, Mrs. Sprague had gone to California to attend the funeral of her sister there when she was killed in an automobile accident. Thus it became a triple tragedy when it was found that Mr. Sprague was dead. Wm. R. Gronow of Crystal Lake a brother of the two women, received the following telegram last Monday: '^Lizzie killed in automobile accident, California. Roy found dead at home in Cherokee later. Double funeral Thursday at 1 o'clock at Cherokee." John Cyran, 44 years old, of Chicago was killed early Christmas morn, ing in a sideswipe collision with a car driven by Kermit Lasch of Elkhorn, Wis., and Thomson, 111., the accident occurring one and one-half milles west of Marengo. Mr. Cyran, who owns a farm south of Marengi, was riding with his tenant and brother- in-law, Alex Kaminski, who was driving the car. Accompanying them were Kaminski's wife and| Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Boersma. The party was coming toward Marengo when the accident occurred at about 12:10 a. m Mr. Lasch, who is 23 years, old, is a representative of the United Milk Products Co. He was given first aid at the police station for a cut over his right eye. Mr. Kaminski whose lip was cut obtained medical attention. Cyran was taken to the Highland hospital, Belvidere, but was pronounced dead upon arrival there. Two more Huntley young men were hailed into the justice court of Charles F. Ha. es, Woodstock, Monday afternoon and fined in connection with the tavern brawl which resulted in fines being imposed oh two brothers, Floyd and Howard Ball, by Justice Hayes Tuesday of last week. The two who were assessed fines of $26 and costs each are Arthur Lambrecht and Robert Kruetzer. The complaints against these two men were signed by William Miller, Huntley police marshal. Floyd Ball was fined $100 and costs and his brother, Howard, was assessed $25 and costs. The latter's fine was paid by the youth's father, but Floyd is still confined in the county jail. Lambrecht and Kruetzer paid their fines and were released from custody, late last Tuesday afternoon. 4 Twenty years ago to the day when her son was violently killed in an auto-train crash, Mrs. Mary Ward Reichelt, 68, prominent social worker and educator of Deerfield, was fatallly injured when struck by an automobile driven by one of her close friends. According to investigations Mr . Riechelt had left her home at 74 Chestnut St., Deerfield, Wednesday at 5:15 p. m., to go to the postoffice to send some Christmas cards when she was struck by sl car driven by Mrs. Nellie Waite, 941 Cedar st., Deerfield, wife of an automobile salesman. The victim's body was dragged a considerable distance and was badly mangled. The accident was reported to have been caused when she became "confused by the lights of an approaching car and stepped into the path of Mrs. Waite's machine. It was recalled that on Dec. 23, 1916, Mrs. Reichelt's son, Ward, 12, was killed in . an auto-train crash at Everett. Two other persons, Clayton Jarvis, 33, and Kenneth Jarvis, 15, both of Deerfield, were killed in the same accident. Their car was hit by a fast express train. Juxmiy % .
