There sat Bill, a burly young man in his late twenties, a typical Van Bibber in his evening clothes. He was built like a football player and to all appearances, he was a scion of wealth as he fed popcorn to the pigeons. It was a midsummer evening, and near hipi on the fame "park bench sat a neatly but shabbily dressed girl of nothing but skin find bones. She acted strangely and he witched her There was a desperate, almost hysterical look in her eyes, a pinched appearance about her mouth.* !

"A lot of them are starving." the] man continued^ "Now take this' young lady for instance. Up to an hour ago she hadn't eaten for two days She was starving. So I brought her in here and fixed her, up. She feels swell now. S&yslfs the best food she ever et." The manager was bewildered. "I'm glad to hear that." "The Only trouble is she ain't got a cent." he paused and blew a ring of smoke. "An' neither have I. So the feeds oh you, brother. Now. there's a lot of ways of handlin' a case like this.

Or are you the little girl reporter workin' on a sob •Btory? If you are, I can tip you off to some swell stuff about these pigeons. Take that one there, I always call him Oliver Twist.

Why not?" ~ - / The girl was bitter. "I haven't •any money. It must be great to be a pigeon. There's always someone throwing them crumbs." "If you had the brains of a pigeon ^you wouldn't go hungry." ' Tears welled up in the girl's eyes ,nd her lips twitched. She was on ,the verge of hysteria. Bill flipped .his cigarette into the bushes, and [took her by the arm. "Come on, let's eat," he said. They strolled to the Casino where Bill let the girl order all she desired, which was triple what he put iawaj| for politeness. They ate in lEilence. After the girl had finished, |Bill remarked. "For a pint size like iyou. you can certainly put it away. IYou're hungry, all right. But if you tthink 1 fell for your line of hooey, •you're crazy. No female ever has to starve in ,a town like this." V "Why not?" she inquired. / "Because she's a female." The girl paused, therf spoke-slowly, "Were you ever out of work for a whole year?" .

He picked up a spoon and rapped on his tumbler sharply. "Go on--get out of here! Get out!" the manager shouted. ^ Bill bowed politely, took the girl by the arm and made an exit. "Where do you live?" The girlshrugged her shoulders. "I might as well take you home." H "That wpuld be all right If I had a home/' she said. "Where do you figure on spending the night?" "1 don't know." The man advised her to get a grip and register at a .hotel until she was thrown out and to continue the process in other hotels, but the girl was afraid. > "Do you live In hotels that way V s h e i n q u i r e d . - i f , "Nah. I got no use for hotels." "What do you do for a living?'^ Bill put his hands in his pocket. "Close your eyes," he ordered, and then after a second, he commanded her to open them. The front of his shirt was illuminated with -an advertisement. "Two bucks a day for this--and all you've got to do is to walk up and down and flash the light on and off." "If it is all right with you," I'll walk up and down with you." the girl declared. 8o they'paced up and down until after the theatre crowds had departed. "What's your name?" -= "Trina," the girl replied. "1 suppose you've got to have a place to sleep. Come wjth me."^ Bill led the way to Vagvill-onthe- Hudson, where the down-andouters of New York have squatted, erecting their castles out of debris and rubbish. It was a fast growing community, and a surprise to Trina who never believed that such a place exf&Wd. But Bill preferred lo sleep in the open rather than JoiMld himself a shack. He bunked on a derelict barge aground in the river.

The victim was buried, the case pigeonholed. Year after year passed, erasing the murder from the public's memory. , Then, only a few months before the date when the case of the prosecution would automatically be voided by default, the Dieppe police began receiving anonymous letters. The notes at first Were vague and ascribed to a harmless crabk. They came from Paris and were signed "Nemo." After a few weeks, Nemo's Information became more specific-- the anonymous informer apparently gaining courage when he saw he was not tracked down. Far from suspecting the information given by Nemo concerned their own mojst famous crime case, the Dieppe police called in the Surete Generate, which, after an investigtaion seven months, were able to announce solution of the murder committed ten and a half years before. •Phe victim was Helen Ziffer-Zawuska, born at Cracow in 1889, wife of Wftldema? M. Ziffei*, ex-officer in Ihe czar's army. Under her maiden name of Helehe Krupa, she had been, a successful singer, at one time enjoying great popularity. In Moscow and St. Petersburg. Her popularity had made her rich. Wanted Her Out of the Way. Ziffer, it is alleged, decided to put Helene out of the way when he had lost all her money in an unsuccessful commercial venture in Cracow. Accordingly, a family council was held. Ziffer, his brdther, Joseph, who was a resident of Paris, and their sister, Mine. Lola Rosenberg, wife of a Cra-* cow attorney, since dead, "con-* demned" Helen to death at a family council, In order that Waldemar Ziffer might marry a wealthy wldjw, says the Surote Generale. Brother Joseph was designated as the executioner. With a bonus of 3,000 francs In his pocket, Joseph is alleged to have seduced his brother's wife and absconded with her to France. On a dark, wfndy night on the beach of. Treport, well known watering place, he "executed" her and threw her body in the wayes, It is charged. A year later he was arrested on a charge, of attempted robbery, sentenced to 13 months in prison and expelled from France. In the meantime, according to police, he had sent a postcard to Mrs. Rosenberg in Cracow, saying "All went well," whereafter it Is said that she immediately appropriated all the late Helen's belongings. Waldemar Ziffer, too, married his rich widow. Now, according to, reports from Poland, he and Mrs* Rosenberg are under arrest as accomplices in the murder. - VOLO • Mjr. and Mrs. John Hutzel of Chicago spent Tuesday here the home 6f the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Dillion.
