THE INTERVIEW By AGNES GRAHAM BROGAN Copyright, im, Wtttern Nowijiayer Union. Uoriildine Humphreys May hud been Interested and remarkably helpful in promoting child welfare, Instituting leagues and uorktug tirelessly herself In the lowwr parts of grout cities. But her mum; did not become fumous un til she hud, understanding, written personal stories of various sniull for eign subjects. Thero was about Gor aldinw May's stories the charm of sin cerity. One could almost see the pleading eyes of Puullne Travlskl as one read the tragic story of the child's life, and one could laugh over the es capades of Tiny Tony Mugneno. Geraldlno Humphreys May was en titled to her fume. But newspaper men found her a dllllcult person In the matter of interviews. Club women nil over tho country were clamoring to hear this clever woman's views on certain vltnl questions, anxious to seo her plcturo, to know something of her personality. In vnln Miss May ' de clined to bo published lu magazines, determinedly she refused all ambitious newspaper reporters. And because of this the Dally Her ald was more than anxious to make that conquest, so It wus decided to send Bill Hampton out for the Ger aldlne May story. ne Just went after his Interview and got It. Everybody liked Bill. "Tho High Brow," as the olllce force Jest ingly referred to the difficult lady, was known to be stopping at a secluded Inn on the Hudson. When Bill reached the adjoining village he learned that Miss May and her nlcco occupied an apartment at tho rear of the beautiful summer lodge, and that Miss Geraldlno May might be seen every morning walking In the rear gar dens, while her niece camped on a high garden wall and watched for In vaders. Upon the api-roach of a stranger, the niece referred to as "Gerry." would slip down from the wall to give her nunt warning to retire. Bill Intended to waylay the nleco herself upon one of her after noon walks and endeavor to win her over to Intercede for him. Miss Gerry May usually spent her afternoons with book or sewing on a bench-tree set back from the road. So Bill Hampton found her. As he was always frank in his nietho.-j. he presented to her his enrd with explanation. But sho shook her head at him. "It's no use," she said, ."Miss May could not be persuaded to bee you. She will not talk for publication. Sho is busy most of the time now with her new book of stories. I don't blame her for not wanting to be bothered." "But you s-eo," explained Billy dole "fully" lie had seated himself nt Miss Gerry's side "this thing would mean a big scoop for me. And I'm after fame too, by way of advancement In my business. I sure do work hard for that. And If your uunt refuses to seo me, couldn't you act as a sort of In terpreter get her to tell you her views and all that?" Gerry laid down her sewing and considered the eager yet humble young man before her. "Why," sho asked slowly, "would It be, as you say, a groat scoop for you? Would It really help you out In your profession?" Bill seized his advantage. "Your nunt lins always been char itably Inclined," lie suggested. "I am suro tho old lady has a kind heart. And while I am not exactly on the lowest step of tho newspaper lad der " Bill paused, then his eyes light ened in anticipation, "It certainly would be a big thing for me," ho said. "Well, go on with your questions," she Invited, "I'll take a chance on an swering." Ills glance was grateful but disap pointed. He hated to hurt tho feel ings of this obliging little creature, but Gerry's Interpretation of her cul tured aunt's views would, he realized, scarcely mensuro up to the reputation of that unusual woman. "Couldn't you," he 6tammerol, "get her to write out the statement for you a statement ready for publication ?" The niece's eyes met his, brown eyoa, sadly reproachful, then suddenly laughing eyes with golden lights in their depths. Bill's heart fluttered and the fluttering was not at all un pleasant. The girl lauglied and then Bill laughed too; a laugh of puro en joyment In life and his surrounding, a happy laugh in tho companioning of this witching girl, whose fathomless eycB held and thrilled him strangely. "No," the girl answered his ques tion, "I could not get Miss May to write out a statement for publication, for you see, it's much easier to talk. I, myself, happen to be that hunted down writer. And as you kindly sug gest, being also a charitably inclined and klnd-henrted old lady, I will help you with your scoop." BUI Hampton stared. "But," he began, then halted Incred ulously. "Aunt Geroldlne Humphreys May for whom I am named," Gerry patient ly explained, "chnporoncs mo about wherever I go; and I can talk Intel ligently upon the subjoct of child wcl faro," she added, "being vitally Inter ested." So Bill confusedly got out his pen cil. "Did you got tho high brow?': tho boys nt the office asked him, but he did not hoar their question. Ho was wondering how ho would bo able to got hl work out of the way tomor row In order to rateh the 1 :."i0 out to Hudson View Inn.
