Chapter XIV: Appendix: Style-Book (3)

The man was gray-haired and big and fat and unromantic, but he
loved the cloak model desperately. He told her so every time he
saw her, but she laughed at him. She knew him as Lem Willhide
"of Kentucky," and she tried to avoid him. He followed her one
day to her room in the home of Mrs. Louise Wendt, 1319 Eddy
Street, and invited himself to call. He wanted to marry her, to
take her home to the "blue grass" country with him, but she
could not be annoyed.

"I ought to be calling you 'daddy,'" she said. "Why, you're
more than twice as old as I. You've admitted you are 52. Go get
a nurse and let me alone."

He seemed to like her spirit. She could not break his
determination, he told her. He might be old, but this was his
first love affair. Again and again she put him off. Always he
followed her, spied on her, called her by phone. She could not
escape him, but he couldn't persuade her to wed him.

Yesterday morning as usual he sent his love message over the
telephone wires--and the girl hung up the receiver and she
sneered in an explanation to the landlady. Later she was
dressing to go out, when the back door of the rooming-house
opened and the man from Kentucky bulged in the doorway.

"You've got your nerve coming into a lady's house without
asking," said the girl.

"I've come to get you," said the man.

"Then you better go back again," and the girl turned away.

The man from Kentucky drew a revolver and shot her in the neck.
She looked up at him from the floor, and he fired four more
bullets into her body.

"If we can't be wed in life, we'll marry in death," the landlady
heard him say, and he shot himself in the head.

Miss Helm died as the police were carrying her into the Chicago
Union Hospital, and the man from Kentucky died later in the
Alexian Brothers' Hospital. Before he went he told Detective
William Rohan that he was a tobacco salesman and a professional
card player.

"I drew for a queen to fill a bobtail flush," he said, with a
queer smile, "but I didn't better my hand."

_CHAUFFEUR'S FEET BURNED OFF_

Herbert T. Middleton lives on Anderson Avenue, at Palisade, N.
J. While driving his automobile along the avenue he saw an
overturned car burst into flame at the roadside, about half a
mile south of Fort Lee. Two men and a boy were struggling to
lift the rear end of the car, and shouting for help. Middleton
hurried to their aid and found that the legs of the chauffeur
were pinned to the ground by the back of the rear seat and
flaming gasoline running over his limbs was burning him like a
torch.

The chauffeur, Amendo Alberti, 32 years old, raised himself to
a sitting posture and tried to direct the efforts of his
rescuers. With the aid of another autoist and several drivers of
passing wagons, they finally got Alberti free. The burning
gasoline had spread upward to his body. It was smothered by
rolling the man in lap robes from the cars.

Dr. Max Wyley of Englewood Hospital, who came with an ambulance,
found that the chauffeur's feet had been almost burned off, and
the burning fluid had seared his limbs and body as far as his
chest. At the hospital Doctor Proctor assisted Doctor Wyley in
an effort to keep him alive. They decided he had one chance in
five of living. If he survives he will be a cripple.

_BLAMES ALL ON WOMAN HE KILLED_

"The woman Thou gavest me tempted me and I did eat."--Adam,
thousands of centuries ago.

Shortly after the world began, Adam sinned--and blamed a woman.
What Adam did in fear of God, a twentieth-century Adam did
yesterday in Chicago--blamed a woman.

Here is the story:

Attaches of a saloon and cafe at 714 North Clark Street were
startled early yesterday afternoon by revolver shots just
outside the door. Rushing into an alley at the rear, they found
the bodies of a man and a woman.

The man was Washington Irving Morley, son of a wealthy
contractor of Kansas City. The woman was Mrs. May Whitney, 29
years old, cabaret singer and mother of a 3-year-old child.

As they picked the bodies up, a letter dropped from the man's
coat. It told everything that need be told about the dead man,
the dead woman, and the dead man's deed.

It was addressed "To Anybody," and read:

This is an awful deed, but this woman is and has been ten
thousand times worse than the vampire of fiction, and may
God have mercy on her soul and mine. Yes, I guess I am
crazy and have been for a year, but she has driven me to
it. I left her in K. C., but she followed me to Chicago
and then to Green Bay and all over.

But it is too late to cry about our mistakes.

I have had my chances, but I have thrown them all away.
Oh, if I had only taken the advice years ago of that
grandest of all men, my father. But I let the three W's
get me--wine, women, and w--. But, young men, remember,
do not get infatuated with a woman of doubtful character.
They never can lead to anything good.

I have had my fling, but now I am going to the great
beyond and I'm going to take the creature with me that
has caused me more bad luck, heartaches, and everything
else. I cannot live with her and I cannot live without
her.

Good-by all. W. S. Morley.

P. S.--My belongings are all in her trunk, which is at
Spangenberg's. I think her mother's address is 123 Pinckney
Street, Somerville, Mass., Mrs. D. T. Whitney.

The bodies were taken to Gavin & Son's undertaking rooms. There
a second letter was found in the man's pocket. It was addressed
to his father, P. J. Morley, in Kansas City, and read as follows:

You no doubt will be horrified, but I couldn't help it. I
have been crazy for a year, and this woman has driven me
to it. You have been the grandest father in the world to
me, and if only I had taken your advice, what a change it
would have made in my life! But it is too late. Good-by,
and may God have mercy on my soul. Yours,
Irving.

P. S.--Father, if you want to do anything, take care of
that boy in Hamburg, Iowa. He will be some boy if he
doesn't inherit too many of his parents' bad faults.

Until recently Morley was a partner in the expressing firm of Ryan &
Morley, Fifth Avenue and Randolph Street.

_SLAIN IN FIGHT ON BRIDGE_

A horrified crowd to-day saw a fight sixty feet in the air on an
arch of the new high-level bridge over the Cuyahoga River in
which Frank Wright, storekeeper for the bridge contractors, was
killed by a fellow workman with an iron bar. The killing was
witnessed by Wright's wife, who was making her way up to him
with his lunch. Police have arrested Jack Browning in connection
with the crime. The killing was preceded by a grim struggle in
which the two men wrestled back and forth on the arch and both
nearly fell into the river several times. After Wright had been
slain his assailant jumped from platform to platform until he
reached the ground and then fled.

_AGED MAN GAINS HEARTS DESIRE_

Joseph Stang has gained his heart's desire. He is dead.

For Joseph Stang death drew aside its mask of horror and
revealed itself the fair prize and ultimate reward of mankind,
impartially awaiting the winners and losers in life. And the
aged man pursued it for a year with patient resolution,
undiverted by the inconsequential parade of the world's affairs.

During the last year Mr. Stang, who was 81 years old, and a
retired real-estate man, living with an invalid wife at 4855
North Paulina Street, made three ineffectual attempts to commit
suicide. His first effort was discovered before he had succeeded
in injuring himself. On Oct. 30 he sent a bullet into his brain
in his bedroom. Persons in the household ran to him and found
him lying on the floor, the revolver beside him. He was placed
on the bed, and during the excitement of telephoning for an
ambulance and a physician, the members of the household left him
alone, believing him unconscious, if not dead. He got out of bed
and crawled to his revolver, which had been picked up and placed
on the bureau. Then he fired another shot over his heart.

He was taken to the hospital, where his wounds, although both in
vital parts, healed rapidly, and he was soon discharged. Because
of his infirmities and the illness of his wife he was later
taken to the German-American Hospital to be cared for.

Saturday morning he told his nurse that he was tired of life.
She cajoled him into a better humor, however, and he ate three
hearty meals during the day. Shortly after supper he was left
alone in his room. He went to his window, which overlooks a
cemented court twenty feet below, and dived out, striking on his
head. He was dead within a few minutes.

Physicians at the hospital declare that Mr. Stang must have
calculated his jump carefully, as a falling body would not
strike head first unless by design.

_DARK STREETS MAKE THREE ESCAPES POSSIBLE_

Policemen on posts in the Bronx have frequently complained to
their superior officers because the turning off of street lights
before daylight often gives burglars and other criminals an hour
or more of heavy darkness in which to carry on their operations
unmolested. The most emphatic of such complaints was made
yesterday morning, after three burglars had escaped from pursuit
at 4:30 A.M.

According to the policemen who attempted to capture the men, all
of the lights in the Bronx were out at the time and heavy clouds
made the streets black as midnight in a country village. The
policemen attributed the escape of the burglars entirely to the
darkness. Not only did the men escape, but they fired revolvers
at the policemen and narrowly missed one of them, who heard the
bullet as it passed his head.

Sergeant Hale and Policeman Regen of the Morrisania Station were
standing in Westchester Avenue near Union Avenue shortly before
4:30 o'clock, when they heard the crashing of a pane of glass.
They ran to Union Avenue in time to see the dim shadows of three
men running from the corner. The two policemen shouted to the
men to stop and fired their revolvers, but the fugitives,
returning the fire over their shoulders, darted down Union
Avenue, separated, and disappeared into apartment house doors.

Policemen Rooney and O'Connell, who were several blocks away,
heard the shots and ran to the scene. The alarm was sent to the
precinct station, and while the four policemen were following
the burglars into the apartment houses, the reserves were
hurrying to their assistance.

Hale and Regen surprised one of the men on a roof and opened
fire on him, but, as far as they could tell in the inky
darkness, he was not hit. As he fled to the roof of an adjoining
house he fired at the policemen, and Hale could tell from its
sound that the bullet passed within a few inches of his head.
The man disappeared into the darkness, and the policemen were
unable to find him again.

Other policemen followed the other two burglars, the reserves
surrounded the block, and many of those living in the
neighborhood who were aroused from sleep by the revolver shots,
joined in the hunt; but the trail of none of the fugitives was
picked up. It was so dark, the searchers said, that they were
not able to see more than a few feet ahead of them at any time.
All agreed that the burglars probably hid almost under the noses
of those who were looking for them, for every roof, alley and
possible hiding place in the block was searched as carefully as
was practicable under the conditions.

The men had thrown a brick through the window in the jewelry
store of M. Baldwin, at Westchester and Union Avenues. They
snatched about $100 worth of novelty objects from the window,
but dropped all of them in their flight. The property was later
picked up from the street.

Many complaints have come to the _New York Crescent_ from all
over the city because there is often an hour or more of darkness
between the time of turning out street lights and daylight. The
lighting companies, it is said, are within the law of their
contracts with the city.

_CHAPTER XI_

Indicate the places at which paragraphs should be made in the following stories:

_CHARACTER INDICATED BY THE LIPS_

To all daughters of Eve who have leap-year intentions, the
vocational guide and well-known bachelor, William J. Kibby,
to-day offers advice concerning the habits, characteristics, and
dispositions of various sorts of men, which is intended to help
the girls win their hearts' desires without suffering rebuff in
the process. A good deal of what Kibby says is based upon
phrenology. A man who has thin, straight lips is branded a
cold-blooded, stony-hearted creature upon whom the dearest
girl's appeal would have no effect. This sort of man will do his
own proposing, run his own wedding, and rule his household; and
he'll do it more with his head than with his heart. But if the
man of your choice has full, well-formed lips, Kibby says you
may depend upon his capacity for, and inclination to, love. He
also is susceptible to the right sort of feminine approach.
Kibby says the way to tell whether the one you love, loves you,
is by the coloring of the under lip when he is with you. Every
human emotion gives some physical demonstration when it is
aroused. The evidence that love has been aroused is given by the
deep crimsoning of the under lip. If his under lip is
perpetually pale when he is with you, he doesn't love you. If it
is crimson and you want him, grab quick; he won't run. A man
with a broad, square, massive forehead is a good business man;
he can plan ahead, has good business judgment. If the crown of
his head is high and round he is absolutely conscientious, too;
and if the back of his head is well rounded out he will love his
home, his wife, and his children and show them consideration
above everything else in the world. The man whose head is flat
on top, flat and almost even with his ears in the back and
narrow and foreshortened on the front; whose lips are thin,
whose eyes are cold, will not make a good husband in any sense
of the word, says Kibby. The longer a man's jaw-bone, the
greater his capacity for affection, according to Kibby. All
these things are as applicable to women as to men, is the
expert's opinion.

_FASHION MODEL MARRIES ALL IN BLACK_

A black wedding, one of the most remarkable ceremonies ever
performed in this country and one which made even blase New York
sit up and stare, was celebrated at the Church of St. Vincent de
Paul here to-day. It was completely black, and the first wedding
of its kind ever planned made the little fashion model, Eleanor
Klinger, the bride of Ora Cne, a designer. From the limousine in
which they threaded their way among the skyscrapers to the
little church in Twenty-third Street to the handles on the
silver service at their wedding breakfast, everything down to
the most minute detail was coal black. Even the serving men were
black; and everyone with any part in the ceremony wore black,
including black gloves. As the big black car whirled up to the
curb at 9 o'clock, the driver, who had a black mustache, twisted
the black handle on the door and out popped the little bride and
groom. They were dressed in black from head to foot. Cne, a
handsome, stocky young fellow, a little below medium height,
wore a single-breasted black broadcloth suit, cut business style
and fitting close. His collar was black and his string tie and
black silk shirt blended into his black vest. The little bride,
tripping across the sidewalk with her soon-to-be, wore black
silk slippers, a black silk dress sparingly overlaid with black
chiffon. Her wedding veil was a broad strip of black silk edged
and overlaid with black tulle, ending in large bows. This
wedding veil and train are detachable, "so," as the bridegroom
explained, "it can be used either for morning or evening." The
bride's corsage bouquet was of black pansies. After the ceremony
Mr. and Mrs. Cne sped to their black wedding breakfast at the
Cne apartment in Forty-third Street. There Cne's black valet
served black coffee, black bread, black butter (dyed), black
bass, black raisins, and blackberries. The breakfast room was in
black and white, with ebony furniture and black rugs. The silver
service, from coffee set to teaspoons, was fitted with dull
finished ebony handles. The porcelain service was black with an
edging of white. Cne and his bride will begin a tour of the
larger cities of the country with their visit to Philadelphia
Friday, where Cne will address the Teachers' Institute of
Domestic Science. Later they will go to Fort Wayne, Ind., Cne's
home town, and to Omaha, Minneapolis, Nashville, Pittsburgh,
Kansas City and later to the West Coast.[53]
