I bought my Gooog'YEAR She began to know Jerry Sand- ers through his books first. Mostly on travel, with his name sprawled across the title pages, as if he must have bought them all himself. There was poetry, too, Noyes and Mase- field, Kripling of all things, and one Sometimes a whiff of incense curl- ed up from the burner ewenimgs when she lay on the couch reading the books she found in the room. A squat jade colored bowl of daffodils on the low Wicker table helped spring along too. Every single boat Whistle on the river stirred Nannette’s restlesst. Sometimes, coming home on the sub- way, she felt like a boat tugging at its moorings, eager to be off. Down along Riverside Drive when she strolled there by herself after dinner in a cheap restaurant on Broadway, the whole atmOsphere thrilled her and left her almost breathless at its loveliness these nights. V Seven dollars a week, and she had been paying eight in a comâ€" munity apartment with three other girls. This was heaven. The trunk could stay there, of course, she told Mr. Bela. After she mWedJ in, she covered it with a strip of Chinese silk, sea green embroidered in col- ored moon-s and silvery birds, tOppâ€" ing‘ it with a brass Buddha with an incense burner on its lap. “No, I didn’t. I was going to, but my wife she don’t like the police nesey‘ing around, so we just keep this trim]; and wait and see. She thinks he’ll show up some day, and I say sure, he willâ€"â€"When they let him out.” “There used to be a feller in here named Jerry Sanders. That’s his trunk over there in the corner. I didn‘t lug it downstairs because I always expected he’d turn up, but didn’t. He :just disappeared one day and never came back. He was a funny fellow, always talking abOut going places. I Tell my wife I think he went some place all right, maybe up the river.” “Didn’t you notify the police?” asked Nannette, looking in the large clothes closet. The room was in the rear, facing south, fairly well furnished, but with a desk, couch and well filled bookcase, and these caught, her eye at once. landlady. He was a stOut, good, natured Hungarian with a family in the basement and three such houses to look after, he told her. The narrow glass sign said “Vac- ancy”, on the from door of the brownstone front house on West 75th street, just off the Park. Nan- nette climbed three flights behind the superintendent.

Phone HYland 2081 Open Evenings She found him at the top of her own flight of stairs, smoking, and before she had turned the lower Ihallway. she recognized the frag:- rance she and Buddha knew so well. But. she was very calm and imper- sonal when they met. Of course -he could get at his 'tru-nik. She took rthe things off the top, while he stood looking around him eagerly, hands in his pockets, pipe held in ‘his teeth as he talked. - “Funniest thing, you know,” he 'said casually, “I haven’t lived. here for at least five months, and yet the room has a whiff of my tobacco in it still.- Something about odors all tied in with memories. I always like it here.” ' “Why don’t you sit in the armâ€" chair and smoke now,” .Nannette suggested, “that is, if you feel like it?” One night in May she had been out walking, thinking abOut these things. A misty new moon hadl help- ed her mood. When .she came along 75th, someone in a basement was playing an accordion, very sofily. The Belasv sat out on their base.‘~ ment steps, enjOying it all. As she started up the front steps, Mr. Belas called out to her. He’s come backâ€"he’s waiting to get in your room. I told him you w0uldn’t mind if he got some things out of his trunk. There was a 1934 class book from a Middle Western college. It was easy to find him in this, quite a b0y â€"swimming, track, football, literary society. Here he was squatting down with his team, husky, serious, shockâ€"headed, and here he was all dressed up in tails, and here in a small oval picture. Nannette poredl over this one. It was a face to re-‘ member. She wished .she could have put it up on the closet wall, but refrained. He might come back. And there were other things in the trunk that she just glanced over, letters. When you are doing detec- tive work it is pemnissable to read such things if you are trying to solve a mystery. By the end of five months she felt as if she knew Jerry very well. She didn’t wonder at his going away. Sometimes, .she felt he might never come back at all. But it was not ,a case for the police. Mrs. Bela, being a woman, had sensed that. Winter clothing, more books, pdpes, odds and ends, a round tin of tobacco. She opened this and put a few pinches on the incense burner in front of Buddha to see what it was like. And the whole room sud- denly became aware of Jerry Sanâ€" dens’ presence. He was right there in the big armchair, feet on another chair, smoking his pip-e, dreaming of â€"well, of some girl and travel. She kept the can of tobacco out and used to burn a pinch of it now and then! when she was specially wondering about him. One Sunday she decided to open the trunk, after finding it was unâ€" locked. That showed he had left in-‘ tending to come back. And since the police had not been notified, she felt it almost her duty to try and discover some clue that would solve the mystery of his disappearance: Almost the first thing she came a« cross in the smaller top drawer was the picture of a girl torn in four pieces. 0n the back was written; “0, very well!” The girl was rather pretty, not wonderful at all, but cute. This in itself, Nannette thought, might provide a motive. HopeleSs love. Disillusion. Jerry Sanders became a rather morbid, satirical young person to her for a- few moments. Thumbtacked to the closet wall she discovered a scrap of paper torn from a comic page. All it said was “If you had everything, what could you get?" And tacked on the other wall was a double page torn from a- steamship folderâ€"a lot of pictures of world harbors and points of in- terest to travelersfisshe studied them all, wondering where Jerry Sanders had gone. called “Vagabond House,” that made you wanct to go on quests after islands.

Nearly- every evening he came for her and they went places â€" theatres and dining out, dancing, almost of all, just strolling.

Then they decided to Walk bacck from 96th street and Nannette stop- ped at her favorite spot where she had taken counsel so many times by herself, of the moon and stars and hurrying tide.
