o 8 MISS FREY
The garden was completely
shut in, on three sides by walls of
white limestone, on the fourth by
the low, sprawling, comfortable
house "itself. Hibiscus flamed on
the white walls and at one side,
like wild and unruly jungle
growth, was a great twisted mass
of bougainville, dark-purple in
the shadows that encroached on
the green and gold light of the
garden. |
It seemed as if the sickle of a
moon, poised in the low bend of
the Bermuda sky, were pouring a
green-and-yellow wash over the
garden. But that was an illusion.
Actually, the queer, almost unreal
light came from a myriad of hur
ricane candles, little twinkling
jets of brilliance which tempered
and softened the deep green of
the grass. The candles stood on
small iron tables, painted white,
and soft-footed servants were now
bringing demi-tasse cups and in
quiring, respectfully, vahat Mr.
..Wnérfield's guests desired in
»“the way of liquers.
Gilbért Summerfield was giving
a party, And the party was quiet
and opulent, restrained almost to
the point of decadence, as all of
Gilbert Summerfield’s parties
were,
The guitars of the half-dozen
musicians, unobtrusively ranged
at one end of the garden, throbbed
quietly, so that a suggestion, rath
er than a blare of music, hung in
the cool sweet air, There was a
softness, almost a languorousness,
to the entire scene. The wind
slipping over the walls brought
the fragrances of oleander and
frangipanni. And conversation
was low, a steady drone now that
dinner was over, broken only by
the clink of glasses and an occas
ional burst of laughter.
Gil Summertield, in a yellow
linen coat perfectly cut to his tall
figure, moved among his guests,
the little half-tolerant, half-cyn
ical smile on his lips. He walked
with a slight, barely-perceptible
limp of which he appeared com
pletely unconscious. He had very
black hair, faintly-smiling black
eyes and a long wiry body. There
was a suggestion of steely strength
about his arms and shoulders. His
fingers were brown and strong,
the first two of his right hand
stained vellow from his eternal
cigarets.
As he passed the corner where
old Mrs. Delavan was holding
court, she put out a hand. The thin
hand, heavy with old-fashioned
rings, closed with a kind of pos
sessiveness over Gil’s wrist. An
cient, shrewd, acid-tongued Mar
garet Delavan was very fond of
Gilbert Summerfield,
“Sit down, Gilbert,” she com
manded. “You've paid no atten
tion to me this evening.”
i Summerfield's slightly - tired
smile widened. “As a host, Delly,
Inr slipping. Age creeping up, I
guess.”
“Age?” Mrs. Delavan snorted.
;JYbu’re hardly out of rompers.
Well, sit down, sit down, Don’t
stand there twitching.” y
. Gil dropped down on the grass
. beside her chair. “Getting enough
drink, Delly?” he inquired.
© “I get enough,” Mrs. Delavan
said comfortably, “or I raise the
yoof. I'll say this for you and your
rties, though Gil Summerfield.
ou have dinner late enough. It's
idnight now.”
. ‘“We started at 10 o’clock, Del
iv,” Gil pointed out,
: {“Bah! I don’t believe in turning
pight intfo day. But that’'s what a
lace like this does for you.” She
‘waved a bejewelled hand to indi
te Bermuda. “How long have
you been here now, Gilbert?”
. “Three years now. I've had this
fimuse for two and a half.”
. “Well, going to eat lotus here
the rest of your life?”
| Summerfield shrugged. “Why
not? I've tried a lot of places. Ber
muda suits me as well as any.”
© “Bah! A Nepenthe full of wast
rels. Look at ’em all lying around
here.” . |
- “You're doing us wrong, Delly.”
Summerfield’s smile becanre a
grin. “Half of these people are
Just visitors, like yourself, out for
a little fun.”
~ Mrs. Delevan's keen eyes were
“traveling over the guests, Sudden
1y she pointed. Mrs, Delevan, by
“birth, breeding and character, was
“one who could point and get away
‘with it, :
| “Isn’t that Ede Frey over there?”
}he asked.
- Summerfield followed her fin
%?r. Reclining in a glider across
the garden was a tall young wo
man in a white chiffon evening
‘gown. Her hair was the color of
le bronze and the slight wind
| lew wisps of it around the nar
‘row suntanned oval of her face.
‘She had a good straight nose, high
Efl\eekbones and a wide scarlet
‘mouth, The chin below the mouth
as pointed and determined. Curl
ed on the glider at her feet was a
uge Irish setter, belonging to
Summerfield, The candles laid a
‘l:llow tint across his sleek red
back. A gentleman in a cream
dinner jacket was bending over
the young woman, holding a
mratch to her cigaret,
. “Yes,” Gil Summerfield nodded.
®That's Edith Frey—l should say,
‘the former Edith Frey. She’s Mrs.
Peter Flood now, you know.”
: “What's she doing here? Living
or vacationing?”
. “Oh!” For all his urbanity Gil
Summerfield’s shrug was a little
too casual. “Living. He writes.”
. “Wasn't she,” Mrs. Delavan had
to address the side of his face
because he had turned his head
away, “quite the glamour girl a
few years ago?”
. Gil's voice was a little impa
tient. “You know darn well she
was, Delly, You know all about
such things.”
| “Of course, I know,” Mrs. Dela
van looked at him shrewdly, “It
didn't ¢o you much good when
l she married young Flood, did it,
i Rt
{ _ Suminerfield’s hand opened on
kfls knees and the fingers spread.
“I'll be trite and say, ‘that’s life’.”
“1 admire philosophers. But
didn’t old Cornelius Frye cut her
off without a cent when she mar
ried Flood?”
“That’s the story.”
“Then how do they live down
here?”
“I think,” Gil said cautiously,
“that Ede has something of her
own. From her motheir.”
“Corny Frey,’ said Mrs. Dela
van, with authority, “is a mean old
devil. Of course, this Flood was a
palpable fortune hunter but Cor
ny could let them have some
thing, He reeks with money. Had
a private fortune to start with and |
doubled it, they say, in that ad
vertising business of his.” ‘
Gil smiled. “I said you knew
all the gossip.” )
“It isn’t gossip. It's fact. Corny
Frey is a very rich man. He should
have bought that Flood off. And
what you ought to do, even now,
young Gil, is cut him out. You and
Ede would look well together.”
Summerfield turned amused
eyes upon her. “My gosh, Delly,
what puts such ideas into your
head? They’re married. Quite hap
pily, as far as I know.,”
“You don’t know anything.
When you get my age you’ll be
able to read faces, And people."\
Suddenly she put a hand on his
shoulder. “I like you, young Gil
bert. You're a waster and indo
lent and no-account, but I like
you. You've got too much money,
that's your trouble. And 1 wish
you didn’t have. I'd like to see you
settled down and amounting to
something, but I don’t suppose I
ever will.” She sighed. “Well, I
presume you're bored. So run
along, Run along.”
Gil sauntered away. Near the
door leading into the house was a
large table loaded with bottles.
He poured brandy into a sniffer
and cartried it away with him. For
a moment he leaned against the
pink-tinted side of the house,
studying the face of Ede Flood
over the rim of the sniffer. Per
haps, he thought, old Delly had
been right. Perhaps he hadn't, as
yet, the ability to read faces. He
smiled. No doubt Delly had start
ed the wheels of his imagination
turning. Ede's face, upturned to
the man in the cream dinner jack
et, was laughing and alive. But,
it seemred to Gil, there was a trace
of bitterness around.-the corners of
the mouth, and her lips were a
hard red line that laughter
couldn’t hide.
He hadn’t seen much of Ede
these last few years, But two
months ago when she and her
husband had come to Bermuda
and taken the unpretentious cot
tage overlooking Riddle’s Bay,
they had renewed their acquain
tance.
Gil's mouth twisted wryly. Once
it had been friendship, very good
friendship. But a casual drifting
friendship. Too casual, Gil thought
now, too drifting. He'd merely
been one of the men who were
always “around” Miss Edith Frey.
There’d been no particular reason
for her te consider him when the
more spectacular and then-suc
cessful Peter Flood had more or
less crashed into her life.
Peter Flood had come out of the
Midwest and brought with him a
touch of its drive and energy, He
had also brought a play that he
proceeded to sell to a well-known
producer. The thing had run for a
season, which in itself was nothing
especially startling. But it was
-Flood’g'first and the critics made
much of it. For a time Peter Flood
had been the fair-haired boy. He
was seen everywhere, and with
everybody who counted. And,
presently, he was seen chiefly with
Ede Frey.
Apparently Peter Flood, with his
bold, almost arrogant eyes, his
shock of ginger-colored hair and
his full, rather sullen mouth; was
a man who made things happen
‘suddenly. All at once, and quietly,
the marriage was an accomplished
fact.
Rumors started then. It was said
in case society that old Cornelius
Frey, wealthy advertising agency
owner, opposed the marriage.
There were stories of bitter quar
rels between Cornelius and his
new son-in-law; between Corne
lius and Ede. People entertained
theories, and kept them none too
private, that old Cornelius, keen
as a razor though his fortune was
originally an inherited one, per
ceived that this energetic young
man was one who, even though
temporarily successful, believed in
making financial assurance doubly
sure. Cornelius, they said also,
was long on family and tradition.
And the roots of Peter Flood were
obscure.

BY DON WHITEHEAD
(For Hal Boyle)
KOREA.—(AP)—This i how it
feels to be a war correspondent
grandpappy . . . And,to meet the
most frustrated soldier in the
world . . . And to stare a white
rabbit in the eyes: :
Becoming a grandpappy comes
first. A cable from home told me
that my daughter Ruth had given
birth to a fine son—and I was now
the only grandpappy among the
correspondents on the Korean
front.
Suddenly I found it was won
derful to have a grandson. I hadn’t
quite known what it would feel
like to be a grandpappy at 42,
But then I discovered I was just
as proud of this new member of
the family as when I first loo™-ed
at my daughter 19 years ago.
I was in the mood to be senti
mental over the big news from
hormre, But the same day the Ma
rines arrived in Korea and I was
among the group of correspond
ents who met their transport at a
southern port.
Our pilot boat swung alongside
a transport wil’a the deck high
above us. :
" Now, a grandfather should be
permitted to board a ship with
proper dignity and decorum. But
'my colleagues below me were
shouting for me to hurry up. Top
side a tough lieutenant was
screaming that correspondents
would not be allowed to board the
ship.
I don’t know the rules on what
'a grandpappy should do in such a
‘case so I ignored the lieutenant
and kept going up the ladder to
get the interviews we were after.
- One of these days lam going to
take time off and be sentimental
about that blue-eyed grandson.
But up to now I just haven’t had
time and my hardened colleagues
refuse to give me the authentic
grandfather treatmrent,
1 should have my breakfast in
bed, the front seat of a jeep and
the respectful silence of young
sters listening to the wisdom of
their elders.
But it hasn’t worked out that
way.
The frustrated soldier was next.
I stopped at an air strip and a
corporal was moaning about a
radio rebroadcast of a tight game
between the Phillies and the
Brooklyn Dodgers. = The corporal
was a Phillies man himse'f.”
“There it was,” he said. “The
Phils leading iive to six in the
iast of the ninth at Ebbetts Field.
The Bums were at bat. « There
were two out and two Brooklyn
runners on base. And then that
damned radio quits. I'm going
nuts if I don’t find out how that
game ended.”
Then there was the white rab
bit.
I woke up one morning and
opened one eye. Then I closed my
eyes and opened them again onlv
to find myself staring at a white
rabbit, I closed mry eyes again and
thought maybe it would go away
when I woke up.
But it was a rabbit, all right.
So far as I know that’s the only
rabbit in all of Korea. Where he
came from I don’t know. But
there he was.
He gave me an inscrutable Ori
ental look and retreated from my
cot. Then he hopped across the
tent floor, took a final look over
his shoulder and went wherever
rabbits go in Korea.

(Continued from Page One)
raw materials to essential indus
tries, are to be struck tomorrow,
in addition.
The dispute, already 17 months
old, involves union demands for a
pay boost for train service em
ployes represented by the two
unions and a reduced work week,
from 48 to 40 hours, without a
pay reduction, for yard service
employes.
The demands apply to all major
railroads in the country. The
union is striking only a few of the
lines at this time, however.
The scheduled strikes, while af
fecting relatively small rail lines
and terminals and only a few
thousand of the 300,000 members
of the two unions, are bound to
dent output of major industries.
Big Blow
The Cleveland terminal strike,
particularly, will be a blow to
steel and iron production. - The
big Republic Steel Corporation at
Cleveland curtailed steel and iron
making last night and laid off
1,500 of its 7,000 employes. Re
public planned more layoffs be
fore the end of the five-day strike
period. Several Republic plants
had enough raw materials on
kand to keep going a while.
Republic * owns the Cleveland
terminal and exclusively uses its
facilities. The Louisville terminal
is owned by the Kentucky and In
diana Terminal Company, a joint
enterprise of the Baltimore and
Ohio, Southern, and Chicago, In
dianapolis and Louisville rail
roads.
Some 400 industries will be af
fected by the St. Paul terminal
strike. That facility is owned by
the Minnesota Railway Company,
which in turn is owned jointly by
all railroads serving Minneapolis
and St. Paul. It was planned to
route through traffic around the
St. Paul terminal.
The two short lines ticketed for
strikes tomorrow (6 a. m., local
time) are the Elgin, Joliet and
Eastern Terminal Company, Chi
cago, and the Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie, Pittsburgh, both serving big
steel producers.
A walkout on the former would
substantially curtail steel and tin
‘making at several big plants of
the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp.
‘ and the American Steel and Wire
Company, at Gary, Ind, Joliet,
11, and Waukegan, 111.
Runs 220 Miles
The Pittsburgh and Lake Erie
runs 220 miles trom Brownsville
and Connellsville, Pa., through
Pittsburgh to Youngstown and
Ashtabula, Ohio. It is controlled
by the New York Central system
and mainly carries coal, iron ore
and other defense vital freight. A
walkout also would stop 24 daily
passenger trains,
John R. Steelman, President
Truman’s assistant and ace labor
trouble-shooter, was expected to
make some new move to get rep
resentatives of the unions and the
nation’s railroads into new con
ferences.
The unions turned down a 23-.
cent hourly increase offered by
the carriers. This offer Saturday
night was hinged to a contract that
would run so rtwo or three years,
including a clause to permit wages
to go up a cent an hour for every
point increase in the government’s
living cost index.
MFEMORABLE DAY
NEW YORK—(AP)—PhiI Riz
zuto, fine little shortstop of the
New York Yankees, likely will
long remember Aug. 6, 1950. Phil
failed the previous day to get the
hit that would have given him an

Weekly Bible Lesson
Mary, Greatest of Mothers
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
When we think of the Babe born
at Bethlehem, we would say
“Mary of Bethlehem,” but when
we think of the formative years
of Jesus, growing up in the home
in Nazareth, Mother Mary, of Na
zareth, ought to have a larger
place in our thoughts.
In our emphasis upon the divin~
ity of Jesus we sometimes forget
that his divinity was revealed in
a true humanity, the incarnation
of the divine in a normally human
life, “the man Christ Jesus” grow
ing up from childhood to manhood.
In that childhood and growth we
cannot overemphasize the influ
ence of His Mother.
If we were to seek a human
parallel, near to our own time, it
might be found in the childhood
of Abraham Lincoln. His mother
died when he was only nine years
old, but during those nine years
she had read the Bible to him
taught him to read it; told him the
stories children love to hear; and
given him precious guidance.
A stepmother, who loved him,
and whom he loved, completed
that motherly influence, but there
is little doubt that the future great
ness of the man had its secret in
the influence of those early years.
Could we picture that home in
Nazareth, we should see a Mother
pondering in her heart (Luke 2-19)
the experience of His birth and
consecration. Posibly she sensed
the destiny of the child in won
derment and sadness as she
thought of the prophecy, “A sword
shall pierce thine own soul.”
We should see a Mother inspir
ing Him with «the story of Isreal’s
great saints and prophets, of God’s
call and choice, and His purposes
of human redemption. We cannot
begin to picture the glory off all
HURRICANE
BY-PASSES
NEW ENGLAND
BOSTON, Aug. 21— (AP)—New
England breathed a sigh of relief
today as the season’s first major
hurricane passed some 120 miles
off the coast.
Abnormal high tides and gale
winds with gusts up to 55 miles
an hour were reported in Nan
tucket and Cape Cod in southeast
ern Massachusetts as the storm
skirted the coast and roared out
into the North Atlantic.
The Weather Bureau said that
the hurricane was expectedto pass
Canada’s Maritime Provinces
about 10 a. m. (EST). The
Provinces battened down but it
was doubtful if the storm would
strike ‘on land.
The Weather Bureau suid in ad
visory that the hurricane still was
“dangerous with winds up to 100
M. P. H. near the center.” It ad
vised all shipping from Nova
Scotia to southern Newfoundland
to avoid the storm.
In New England, the Nantucket
lightship, southeast of Nantucket
Island, was the closest to the hur
ricane area. The lightship radioed
it was impossible to teil how far
away the storm was, but reported
65 mile an hour winds, “moun
tainous seas’ and zero visikility.
The Coast Guard crédited ad
vance warnings with preventing
the loss of ships all along the At
lantic coast. One merchant vessel,
the SS Edison Mariner, rode out
the center of the hurricane in a
100-mile an hour wind south of
Block Island, R. 1.
A 7,427-ton freighter, tte Rus
sell R. Jones, was damaged by 40-
foot waves, and was reported
heading for Jacksonville, Fla.
Little damage was caused by
strong winds which struck south

that happened in that Nazareth
home.
The New Testament records re
veal Mary as the greatest of moth
ers, the worthy Mother of her
greater Son. She was blessed
among women because her char
acter was blessed. She was among
the devout souls looking earnestly
and hopefully for the coming of
the Messiah, “the consolation of
Isreal.”
Her song of praise, called “The
Magnificat” (Luke 1:46-55), is one
of spiritual grandeur: “My soul
doth magnify the Lord, and my
spirit hath rejoiced in God, my
Savior.”
~ But the supreme revelation of
‘the greatness of Mary was in the
‘hour of her Son’s supreme sacri
fice. The simple record is in the
Gospel of John: “Now there stood
by the cross of Jesus His mother.”
She was there in the hour of her
Son’s crucifixion.
Perhaps, like myself, you have
read these words, without visualiz
ing the actual scene. I confess that
I never saw in them their full dra
matic tragedy, and glory, until
during the four long years of
World War II
As I ministered to a compara
tively small congregation with
over 80 men fighting at the front,
I looked, Sunday after Sunday,
into the faces of women, whose
sons were out in the battlefields of
France and Tarawa. It was then
that I wunderstood motherhood.
‘Their eyes, shining with abiding
courage, devotion and faith, re
called the walk of 'a mother
through the streets of Nazareth to
the cross where her son was
nailed. ; g

history than that of Mary's
strength and love?

As the storm neared New Eng

from rocks off Warren’s Foint in

state police were summoened. The
lifeguards swam ,200 yards
through heavy seas and set up
lines so the eight could get ashore.
