One hundred years ago, how­ ever, it would have been anothlr matter Re .ords unearthed by re searchers on the Fedeaal W rit rs’ Project of New York City indi­ cate that manners were somewhat rough-hewn and inn keppers in­ dependent. Iuus were few and far between and bad. their own roles. A typical sign in a hostelry read as follows: Fourpene a night for bed, sixpence with supper. No more then five to sleep in one bed. No boots to be worn in bed. Organ grinder to sleep in wash house. No beer allowed in the kitchen. No dogs allowed upstairs.. No razor grinders or tinkers takeu in. If it was necessa*y to caution guest against the wearing of boots in bed, one wonder what razor grinders or tiukers were capable of doing.—E s.

Old Dan Tucker. ‘.‘Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man, He washed bis face iu the f'ying pan, Ou Christmas morning h e got drunk, And fell iu the fire and kicked up a chunk. Get out of the way old Daniel Tucker, ■* Yon come too late to get your supper. Old Dan Tucker ate raw eel; And combed his hair with a wagon wheel, He gave his neighbors the squarest deal, And died with toothache in his heel. Get out of the way old Daniel Tucker, You come too late to get your supper.” Tbe above song has sung through the ages since the middle of the seventeenth cenluty; and Old Dan Tucker is uot a myth, he was once a rear life-and-hlood man who was reared’ in North Carolina. Dan Tucker was boru iu Lond­ on, England in 1714. In 1 7 2 0 when he ,was six yeais old he came to America with his parents who ttled in the little town of Bath, North Carolina. Here Dan grew up into a strong and fearless man of brawn muscle. Twenty years after coming to Carolina he mar­ ried Margaret DeVane, a beautiful girl of French descent and with h;s bride migrated westward to what is Randolph Connty.' This county was then a wilder­ ness thickly inhabited with wild animals, rattlesnakes and Mood thirsty Indians. Bnt Tucker, who believed in predestination, was un­ afraid. “ What is to be, will l.e, and I won’t die before n.y t :me,” he often sa d. On the spot where the little set­ tlement of Spero now stands, Dan Tucker build bis first shelter. Jt was a lean to made of pir.e poles banked and roofed with pine and cedar boughs. Tbe bed also was made of a heap o f. bong], ■. Here he and his bride lived until he could hew logs and build a cabin. The cracks of the cabin were chinked with a mixture of clay and dried moss, softened with water; the chimney was ■ made of rocks and sticks plastered with mnd. As he had no nails, the bords were at­ tached to the walls and roof with wooden pegs driven into round boles which he bored with an auger. The only tools he had with which to .construct tbfs architectural job was an ax, two iron wedges, a hatchet, hammer, anger, gimlet and drawing knifr. This cabin was built near a spring of clear mountain water and was three miles from the nearest neigh bor and a hundred miles from any store. It was here on an open fire place that Margaret Tucker cooked the wild game Dan brought it from the woods; the fish he caught in the streams, and the corn bread made from the corn meal they brought' with them from Bath. Their total supply of cooking uten­ sils were a twelve-inch spider, a frying pan, and a three-legged iron skillet with a lid. Dan owned a horse and wagon, but as there were few roads and no­ where to go, the wagon was ot lit. use. He cleared a plot of ground and planted his corn, his corn, his only, farming implements being a homemade plow, a hoe and pick. His hunting equipment -consisted of 'a gun, hunting knife,. pocket and a steel tommy bawk. Dan was a hunter and-trapper as weli asa farmer. The-skins and furs from the animals he shot and trapped brought him in a fair in­ come. Once a year he saddled his horse, took his stock of furs and skins and carried them to the store a hundred miles away where he sold them for a good price. Tucker was noted for his honesty.

As the years went by, the hurt­ ing trails became wagon roads and other pioneers came and settled in Tucker’s territory until a dozen or more cabins sprouted, up like over- g: own mushrooms in the forests. It It was these neighbors who laugh­ ed at Dan’s rigid thrift and pecu­ liarities; made up the funny songs went on a crusade in 1937 and through its legislative body passed what many at the time said would be a “fool proof” law, one that would bar the operation of these gambling devices Our friends throughout the length a* d breadth of the land en­ visioned the passing of the machines. But Io and btho'd, two yeare later this same legislature, hungry for taxes and money from taxes and money from every source possible, included license on the slot machines in the state’s revenue bill. Barred from operation and then made a part of the money raising’ 4 f mabout bis behavior, and composed machinery only added to the confu- the Old Dan Tucker song. On re­ count of his thrift they accused him of washing his face in the frying pan and combing, his hair with a wagon wheel. He often visited his neighbors in the evening but would never sponge upon them by eating a meal. By so doing there came i Ho being the line of verse that hr came too late to get bis supper.

Lawyers, some of the best in the state, appeared unable to settle the iasu-, Courts ruled them illegal in one place and legal in an­ other. And the row kept getting worse and louder. It dots seem now that it is high time the legislature pass some sort of a law that the attorney general can say "it iB illegal to operate slot machines of everv kind” and not be calling one sort of an illegal machine and another surt If ga!.

The majority of the mountain people of the community were Un­ ionists. hence they didn’t like Gatlins Opiinionc. Finally a delegation of. his neigh­ bors called upiu' Gatlin and politely asked him to leave the community peaceable. In return for this favor they promised to uame the town in his honor. Gatlin moved to Texes and never returned. His townsmen were faithful to their promise. They named the town Gailinburg and Gailinburg it remains until this day. This is possible the only instance on record wheiein a community has been named after a cmzeii who left it under such p cultar conditions.—Ex Predicts Democratic Defeat.

Instead, the proaident plays upon the emotion* of the public by at. tempting to intepret the fiftymillion dollar reduction in terms of so mar.y thousands distitute people. By reducing the rate per hour for relief work, at least two things would be accomplished: First, lower the post of relief, and second, mal e it .easier for farmers and other pri­ vate employers of labor to hire more men at the price they could < afford to pav, and this, in turn wou’d i i.mi diately - result in increased ^emdloptnent and a shrink in relief a daughter 78 years old who lives ant^ relief psyn# to, with her, "Aunt Nanc,” is now re- Mpst any farmee who ceiving old age assistance a n d welfare officers are working on some plan to aid the daughter.

C. THREE SHUTTERED HOUSES Iy IEN AMES WILLIAMS Copyright—WNU SHVlCB CHAPTER XII—Continued - 1 2 - Tope handed June the pad on which he had been writing, and Clint stood at her shoulder so that they read it together. Miss Leaford began getting supper before dark. Everyone came to supper except Mrs. Bowdon. They came in relays. About 7:50 Mrs. Taine came to put Mr. and Mrs. Hurder to bed. About eight, Asa Taine came for a cup of tea, used milk out of the bottle.After he left, Mrs. Taine heat­ed milk for Mr. and Mrs. Hurd- er. Rab Taine came in to say good night. The milk was on the stove. He stood near the stove. Then he left for Providence. About 8:25 Mrs. Taine left, Mr. and Mrs. Hurder in bed. About 8:30 Miss Leaford turned out downstairs lights and went to her room. About. 8:45 she met Clint outside. About 11:05 Clint and Miss Leaford returned and stopped in front of the house. About 11:10 they saw the fire. At 11:19 exactly, the alarm was rung in. The apparatus ar­ rived at exactly 11:23. Mrs. Taine and Asa arrived at the fire about 11 :21. At exactly 11:51 Mrs. Taine put in a call for Providence to her son. While June and Clint studied this schedule in silence, Tope explained: “You know when you went up­ stairs, and when you went out to meet Clint; and I’ve guessed at the times before that. I know when the alarm was rung in, and when the apparatus arrived; and by al­ lowing for all you and Clint did after you saw the fire and before the ap­ paratus arrived, I can figure out about the time you saw the fire.” “Yes,” June said. “This seems about right.” “I’ve a record of the call to Prov­ idence,” Tope added. “How bad was the fire then—when your aunt went to phone?” “The whole house was burning,'* June decided. Tope nodded. “There’s one other question I’ve got to ask you,” he said gravely. “Do you think any one of—your relatives might have given your mother poison? Or set Uie house on fire?” “No, no,” June whispered. “They were hard and stubborn; but— No. No." “Did any of them except your mother ever take a sleeping-pow- der?” he insisted. She hesitated. “Why, yes,” she said doubtfully. “Uncle Justus did.” And she explained in a faint amuse­ ment: “He really had insomnia, sometimes. It seems odd, because he could always sleep in a chair; but sometimes he couldn’t sleep In bed. Doctor Cabler gave him some tablets once; but Aunt Evie took them away from him, wouldn't let him use them. So poor Uncle Justus used to ask me to give him a tablet out of Mother’s bottle, now and then; and I know Rab took some for him once.?’ “When was that?” Tope asked gravely. “About a month ago,” June re­ flected. “I found Rab in the bath­ room; he told me." Tope wagged his head; but he did not push this matter further. “Did you know Miss Thayer?” he asked. “Her name’s Lissa.” “Yes,” June assented. “That is, I saw her sometimes, when I was walking in the woods.” “Did you ever see your cousin Asa with her?” Tope asked. The girl shook her head; and Tope ex­ plained: “I saw them kiss each other to­ night, at the fire. They were back In the shadows, but I saw.” “Asa?” June cried incredulously. “You never knew anylhing about thatt”“Oh, no," she declared. "But if Asa loved her, he wouldn’t have dared tell anyone. They’d have been furious. Aunt Evie, and Grandma Bowdon, I mean." “You think so?” Tope prompted her. “Yes! Mother used to tell me—” She hesitated,- went bravely on: “Mother used to tell me that if I married without their consent, they would crush me. They did.crush her, you know.” Inspector Tope nodded; and he picked his words with care. “You remember Mr. Glovere, who lived in-,the ...cabin, In the woods—the man you called Uncle Jim. You liked him, didn’t you?v “Yes," she said. “So much. He went away, after Mother died.” "He’s come back,” the Inspector said. “Where is he?” she cried eager­ ly.Tope hesitated, he confessed at last: “Inspector Heale is holding him.”“You mean—arrested him?” Her cheek was pale. “Heale thought he might have had something to do—” “Oh,” she protested in loyal pride. "Uncle Jim wouldn’t. No, no." “He came back at noon today,” Tope explained. “Came back ask­ ing for you . . . Miss Leaford, I used to be a policeman. I’m trying to find out what happened out there. You understand that we are sure your mother, somehow, was poi­ soned. Someone put some extra tab­ lets in that glass of milk she drank. It might have been done while the milk was still in the bottle, in Mrs. Bowdon’s refrigerator. Or after­ ward in your grandmother’s kitchen, or on the way upstairs, or after it was taken upstairs. And anyone might have done it. Anyone at all.’’ The girl was trembling, but her eyes were steady. And when he did not speak, she cried: “Why should they do a thing like that?” He said slowly: “They might have been afraid—afraid of something we don’t know about. Or wanting some­ thing.” And he spoke to Miss Moss. “Justus Taine has all the wills, Bow­ don’s and Hurder’s. He wouldn’t tell me what’s in them. They’ll be pub­ lic by and by, but—there may not “Clint, whoever did this is a monster, not human.” be time.” His tone was deeply trou­ bled. He spoke to June. “You and your cousins would inherit all the money, I expect,” he said. "AU the money in the family.” “I don’t know,” she confessed. “Was Uiere much?” But before he could answer, she cried: “That doesn’t matter now, though.” Ris­ ing anger steadied her. “I want to know who kiUed my mother,” she said. Tope looked at her apprisingly. “Mean that, do you?” “Of course." “Because,” he said, “you can help find outl This is ugly business to talk about, hard to beUeve. But Miss Leaford, your grandpa, Mr. Hurder, is out there, in that house, near dying. It wouldn’t take much to make him die. Whoever set fire to the house last night wants him dead.” And after a moment Tope added soberly: “They refuse to have a nurse for him.” He shook his head; he said in a grim and stricken tone: “I think there’s an insane mur­ derer loose out there—insane,, and clever as a cat. He’s managed to get by so far without leaving a trace. It’s the first time in forty years that I’ve seen a case without one single lead.” Clint cried: “What are you get­ ting at. Inspector?” Tope hesitated for a moment. He ignored Clint, said slowly then: “There’s one more thing you ought to know, Miss Leaford: Inspector Heale has arrested this man you call Uncle Jim. Heale thinks he did it.” “But why should he?” she protest­ ed. “What reason had he?” And Tope said briefly, kindly; “He’s your father, June.” For a long moment then, silence held them all. June sat still, and the color drained out of her cheeks till she was white as snow. Clint caught her, and she dung to him; yet she did not hide her face from them. She stared at Inspector Tope, and her eyes were streaming, and her lips worked as though she would speak, but no words came. She watched him, and tears streamed down her cheeks, and she began to hiccough with smothered sobs. Tope spoke slowly, in - explicit terms. “Your mother ran away with him when she was a girl,” he said. “By and by they came home to live; and after two years there, the old folks broke it up. Mrs. Bowdon and Mrs. Taine, he told me, turned your mother against him. He said Mr. and Mrs. Hurder were on his side, but the others broke them down. Finally he left. He wanted your mother to go with him, but she was afraid, so he went away alone.” And he explained: “He didn’t know about you till afterward, years afterward. When you were about ten years old, he came back and met you In the woods, and you told him who you were. So he stayed, to be near you, lived In the . cabin there. They wanted to put him off the land;, but there wasn’t any di­ vorce, and he threatened to make trouble unless they let him stay. He didn’t ask anything of them ex­ cept to be near you, to see you sometimes.” He looked at Miss Moss, sure she would understand. “I guess he still loved Kitty Leaford,” he said. “When she died, it hit him hard. He went away; but he came back yesterday, says he was asleep in his cabin all last night. So Heale has locked him up.” “It would seem simple enough to Heale,” she pointed out. “Heale will say that Mr. Leaford killed Mrs. Leaford and then the Hurders, so that June would inherit their mon­ ey. Then he could claim June as his daughter, and get her and the money too.”June moved, about to speak; and Clint held her close, protectingly. She said faintly: “I can remember once, when' I was a little girl, Aunt Evie tried to make me stay away from him, and I told him, and he came to the house to see her, and after that she never bothered me . . . "But he didn’t do this!” She rubbed her eyes with her hands like one just waking; she stood up, sup­ porting herself by Clint’s arm. “Oh, I want to do something!” she cried. “What can I do?” The Inspector said soberly: “This, if you want to,” he said. “I know it’s not safe for you—” “Safe!” she exclaimed almost scornfully. “I don’t want to be safe, with my mother dead, and my father—” . “Mt. Hurder’s in the Bowdon house,” Tope explained. “They aim to keep him there. They won’t have a nurse in to take care of him. But Miss Leaford, they’d have you. They want you home, and if you went, and insisted on nursing him—’’ Clint made a swift indignant pro­ test; but June hushed him. “Yes, I understand,” she told the man steadily. “I’ll go. But why? What am I to do?” “To watch,” he said. ’To be ready.” “Ready for what?” she insisted. So, reluctantly, he put the thing in words. “Whoever did this wants Mr. Hurder dead," he pointed out. "I think there’ll be another try at killing him.” And he said gravely: “There might be more than that. There might be a try at killing you.” CHAPTER S m Clint had listened to Inspector Tope’s suggestion that June return to Kenesaw Hill with an incredulous and angry horror. Now he cried in a bitter wrath: “No! I won’t stand for that. June’s been through enough—” “Wq’ll be there to take care of her,” Tope urged. “You and I, Clint. We’ll be on the job. It’s only for tonight. I’ve a notion to­ night will tell the tale.” "No,” Clint insisted. “She’s through with them out there, all those people. I’m going to be all her family from now on. It you think I’m going to let her go out there for bait, to bait a trap—’’ And he cried: "Why do you have to mix in, Inspector? Let’them wash their own dirty-linen.” Tope urged gravely: “It’s any cit­ izen’s - duty to do what he can, Clint.” His tone was grim. “And son, there’s a murderer loose out there. Maybe a maniac. I think he is. There’s a terrible, mad per­ sistence in him. Or her.” “Her?” Clint echoed, startled by that pronoun. Tope hesitated. “Him or her, who­ ever it is,” he repeated. “Clint, whoever did this is a monster, not human. No telling whaf will come next.”“And you want to risk June’s life?”“I don’t aim to,” Tope argued. “She’ll have her eyes open. I’ll tell her what to watch for. She’ll have a pistol, to use if she has to. We’ll be right outside.” He spoke to June herself. “You won’t go into it blindly,” he said. “Nor at all, un­ less you want."“Let Heale work it out,” Clint cried. “It’s his job.” June was a long time in taking any part in this discussion between them: But when she spoke at last, it was decisively. “I don’t trust Inspector Heale, Clint,” she said. “If he'thinks Un­ cle Jim—my father—did this, he must be a dull, witless man.” They watched her; she seemed to think aloud. "It was money, the money always,” she cried, half to herself. “I can see that now. Every­ thing had to be done to keep the money in the family. That was why they were so furious when Mother married Uncle Jim—for fear some of the money would get away from them. Oh, I’ve heard them talk, and plan!” Clint said warmly: “Sweet, hush! You’re never going back there again.” But June smiled at him, and she said: “Yes, I am, Clint. I can go back and watch and see things now that I couldn't see before. I can understand.” • Inspector Tope said slowly: “Heale is afraid of your people. He won’t go after them hard, the way he would after other folk. And I never saw an uglier business. This senseless, pitiless butchering! There’s a maniac loose out there; and Heale won’t act. I’ve got to find some way.”“I’ll do whatever you say,” June insisted; and Clint knew at last that he could not dissuade the girl. He said slowly: "I wish you wouldn’t, June. But —I can see, can feel the same way, Inspector, what do you mean to do?” Tope considered, his eyes on the floor, his head wagging. “I think the thing will ripen tonight,” he con­ fessed. “If it seems sure that Mr. Hurder will live, the murderer will try to end him tonight.” He watched June intently. "And maybe you tool I’m guessing at this; but I’m a good guesser. Some one out there is money-crazy. Mr. Hurder is a rich man; and some­ one out there wants that money. Maybe wants it ,quick. Maybe has to have it quick. “I’m guessing,” he repeated. "Justus Taine wouldn’t tell-me what was in the wills. But my guess is that the Hurder money is in a trust agreement for. Mrs. Leaford—but she’s dead—and then for you, Miss Leaford. With trustees. Maybe Taine himself; Maybe his sons. It doesn’t matter—wouldn’t help us any if we knew, because they’re all in the same pot together. But it comes down to it that you’re the only one left in the way, Miss Lea­ ford. With you dead, the Hurder money’s bound to stay in the Taine family.” June nodded. “Yes,” she said. “Yes, they could make Grandpa Hurder write his will the way they wanted it. They’d leave him no peace till he did.” "So there it is,” Tope agreed, with a grim simplicity. "The mon­ ey waiting, ready to run into their pockets as soon as Mr. Hurder dies., You’re the last dam in the way, the' last thing that holds it back. They’ll be after you.” ‘T m not afraid!” said June. (TO BE CONTiNVED) Cleaners Working In Westminster Abbey Uneartb Dwelling Place of Anchorite Cleaners working in Westminster abbey recently discovered the site of the cell where the abbey’s anchor­ ite, or holy man, kept lonely vigil centuries ago. It was in this cell, tradition says, that wild young Hen­ ry V spent a repentant night when his father, the fourth King Henry, died in the Jerusalem chamber of the abbey. The discovery was disclosed by Lawrence Tanner, keeper of the muniments of the abbey. He said the find was made during cleaning operations on a monument in St. Benedict’s chapel to Dr. Gabriel Goodtneu, a former dean of West­ minster, who died in 1601. The mon­ ument shows the dean kneeling at a praying desk. “Behind the praying desk was found in the stonework a little win­ dow so placed that anyone looking through would see the altar of the chapel,” Tanner said. Just to the side of monument is a door, now blocked,'which had, as it had seemed to us for years, no obvious purpose. - “Taking this door In conjunction with the newly discovered window and bearing in mind other features, we concluded that the door led to a little room outside abutting on the abbey and therein must have dwelt the abbey hermit or recluse. “Through that door must have passed Henry V on the night of his father’s death, when the young king spent the night with the abbey re- cluse and vowed to lead a new life.” Tanner explained that the hermit usually was an elderly monk regard­ ed as no longer fit for active work and given the job of anchorite as a sort of retirement. St. Francis’ Tomb Sancien island,-scene of the estab­ lishment of the first Christian mis­ sion in the Orient, is the land in which St. Francis Xavier estab­ lished a mission in spite of efforts to keep him and his devoted band out of the Orient. And on this is­ land he lies buried. In late August, 1552, he landed on the island, called Chang-shuen-shan, off the coast ol Kwang-tung which served as a ren­ dezvous for Europeans. Soon afttt his arrival Xavier was seized Will a fever, and died there. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I __ CHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUI ” ** Dean of The Moody- Bioto iUlST. D.

JEROBOAM: A MAN WITH A GREAT OPPORTUNITY LESSON TEXT—I EOtogS 11:28-31. 37-40.GOLDEN TEXT—In all thy ways acknowl­ edge him, and he shall direct thy paths.— Proverbs 3:S. Strength of personality apart from good character will not assure suc­ cess but will, on the other hand, cause only intensified failure and disaster. We may even add divine promises of blessing which are given on condition of right living, and the man of courage and strengto without good moral or spir­ itual character will only dissipate both promise and power and will become what is even worse than a failure—a bad example and a lead­ er of wickedness. I. Opportunity and Treachery (w . 2 6-2 8 ).Opportunity misused may become a curse, but that is toe result when a man takes what might be a bless­ ing and turns it into a blight. The life Of Jeroboam is a warning against such sinfulness and at the same time it offers us an occasion to encourage young people to make the most of their opportunities for toe glory of God. That which commended Jero­ boam to Solomon was that he was a man of courage and industry (v. 28). That combination will carry a man or woman to unlimited heights. The world is so full of timid and lazy folk, that toe one who has a heart of valor and a willingness to work hard stands out in bold relief. Every sensible employer knows that fact and is quick to lay hold of and advance such an individual. Times are hard and work is scarce, but opportunity still knocks at toe door of toe boy or girl, man or woman who is brave and diligent. The sad thing was that there was treachery in toe heart of Jero­ boam. Had he been willing to wait God’s time he would have received all that he .did ultimately receive and more, but his strength of per­ sonality did not include good char­ acter, and he at once began to plot against toe king who had given him his chance to develop and advance. Let us teach our young people to be loyal and true, as well as to be brave and ambitious. H. Promise and Condition (w . 29- 31, 37-39). - God had reached toe end of His patience with Solomon. He who had begun on his knees in the house of God, seeking wisdom that he might rule his people aright, had come to toe end of his life in apostasy and in wicked indulgence of toe wishes of his heathen wives. Through His prophet Ahijah, God made known toe purpose to divide the kingdom into ten tribes and two—a separa­ tion which knew, no reunion while Israel'' was in the land. Jeroboam was promised the ten tribes with toe assurance of the great blessing which had been given to David, but this was definitely on toe condition that he would “hearken—walk—do—keep” (v. 38) God’s statutes. The factth at he failed only emphasizes the folly and wickedness of the man, for he went on his way to destruction in spite of opportunity and blessing. Men are doing toe same thing today. Oh, that we who teach this lesson might be enabled to stop some such prod­ igal on this coming Lord’s Day. HI. Danger and Exile (v. 40). Although Jeroboam in accordance with God’s promise did ultimately come to his throne, it was by way of danger and a flight into Egypt. Solomon determined to destroy him andeJeroboam had to flee into exile. If he had gone God’s way to the throne and had abided God’s time, he might have spared himself both danger and exile in a heathen land. Perchance some one who reads these lines is just now languishing in toe exile of an Egypt of despair because he has failed to obey God. To such a one we say, do not fol­ low Jeroboam who went from exile on into greater sin and sorrow. Tuni back now, seek God in con­ fession and contrition, and if need be, in salvation. Get back to God’s way and enjoy His blessing. In making application of the les­ sons learned from toe life of Jero­ boam, let us not fail to point out that all down through the historical records he is referred to repeatedly as toe man “who made Israel to sin.” “Jeroboam’s sins were not the sins of a common man. It is only kings, and kings’ counselors, agd popes, and bishops, and minis­ ters, and elders, and such like, who can sin and make nations and churches and congregations to sin. But they, can do it. And they are doing it every day . . . The com­ monest and meanest man among us has more than enough of this terri­ ble power of botb sinning himself and making other men to sin” (Alexander Whyte).

Work on the Davie rural electri­ fication is progressing fine accord iag to Supt. J. C. Jones. More than one hundred miles of wire has already been p'aced, which means that the work is practically half completed in this county. The actual construction cost ol the project alone will reach about $'y',ono. Oiher details in connec­ tion with g 't iug the big job com­ pleted and in opr rat ion will reach a grand total of nearly $2 5 0,0 0 0 . Large crews of men are at work in various sections of the countv set­ ting poles, stringing wire, putting In transformers and cutting right cf-Wi.y. Mrre than 100 man are at work on the project. Supt. Jones savs he doesn’t know just how long it will take to com plete the work in Davie. Weather conditions and extra customers who decide to use electricity may cause some delay in the completion of the work. It is not known jus' when work will begin on the suli station, from which power will be relayed to the varicus lines on the project. This work will take but a shoit time to complete. Farmers in all sections of the county are vety anxious for tlie work to be completed so that thi _ can turn on the power and enjoy the same conveniences that the citizens of the towns have. The Record is glad that the work moving along so nicely. This something that has long been needed in Dr.vie, and means a rap­ id step forward for our small but progressive countv. The gen tlemen who are at the head of this big project' deserve much prai-e for the tireless manner in which they have worked to bring about this blessing to the rural dwellers. Mrs. E. R. Eller.

Romance Of 50 Years. A report Saturday of the is- suuance of a marriage license, and the further report yesterday on the society page of The Post of tbe ceremony here covered that situa­ tion in routine fashion. But tbe real story should have been written by O. Henry. The story behind the story of i license to wed, and a quiet cere' mony on South Fulton street could be done real justice by the touch of no less an artist. The bridegroom was Dr. F. Beal Gaitber, 7 9, of Harmonv, and the bride was Miss Leiia Brandon, 6 5, of South Fulton street, Salisbury. I'heir combined ages were 1 4 4 years The marriage brought to a climax a romance that bad burned bright for half a century. Circumstances stood in the way of an earty' marriage. She waited, and loved, tbe one man of her life, all through the years. When mar. riage became possible to him—after so long a wait—they were quietly married, Saturday, and set out to get her for Florida and a honey moon. Through the years since the one love first came to Miss Branson as a teen age girl, she has watted. She bas has sewed as she waited, and in her neighborhood there are many who will miss her services—includ ng the little folks who went to her w.th their own snagged clothing ind thf ir doll clothes problems.

He is Gustav Rofcrbach, one of those motion picture celebrities whom you never see on the screen and very sel­ dom read about — men and women without whose aid mo­ tion pictures could never have become as technically perfect as they are. Rohrbach can create all sorts of special effects, but making light­ ning is his favorite—he says he gets the same kick out of it that a boy gets from running to a fire. It’s no great stout in itself, he says; yon just bundle together a dozen or so high-intensity carbons on the end of two long sticks, put the sticks on a hinge, plug them into an electric circuit, and then operate them by hand. But unless you’re very careful the carbons weld—then there’s a chance of burn­ ing out fuses, and possibly setting the studio on fire. If you want to see some of his work, go to Principal Productions’ “Way Down South”—he did seven­ teen lightning effects for it—chain, bolt, summer and all the other va­ rieties of lightning except the one known as ball, which very few peo­ ple, including, Rohrbach, have ever Remember “Front Page”, that sizzling picture of newspaper life? It’s to be re-made, but since cen­ sorship is stricter now than it used IRENE DVNNE to be the story will be changed a bit. Instead of focussing interest on the hero, a hard-boiled reporter, the heroine will get most of the lime­ light. The most encouraging thing about the announcement is the fact that Irene Dunne will portray her. The lovely Dunne can’t make a bad picture, apparently. — * —Alexander Eorda is launching a new star in “The Thief of Bagdad” ; bis name is John Justin, he’s 21- years old, and has had a sort of Errol FIynn career—he’s been rancher, deckhand, farm worker and actor, and traveled around the world. Korda sent out a call for a young player for the role of the prince, hundreds of young men ap­ plied, and John Justin won out, and got Si seven-year contract. Sabu, the “Elephant Boy,” is also in the cast, and will make his debut as a singing star. Jack Dawn, Metro’s mighty man of make-up, sort of took some of the screen girls’ glamour apart a while ago. If you’ve seen old photographs of Hedy Lamarr you must have marveled at the change in her. Well, Mt. Dawn explained that her mouth was made over to give it that.Iusci- ous curve; her hair was done in loose waves and that long bob was decreed, her eyebrows were re­ vamped so that there was more space between them. But, he added, she had a practically perfect face to begin with! — * —Tbe personnel of “We, the Peo* pie” hopes that there won’t be an­ other lamb on the program for a long, long time. The one that trav­ eled from Kansas to New Cork, “Mary’s Little Lamb,” developed an appetite for microphone wiring that had the engineers practically crazy.1 Doctor Stidger’s programs are well worth listening to. They are on the air on NBC’s blue network Mondays through Fridays, at 11:45 Eifestern Daylight-Saving Time, and are called “Getting the Most Out of Life.” There is a talk by Doctor Stidger and then three hymns are sung by leading soloists—the hymns are old favorites as well as new ones, and the talks are inspira­ tional.

CRAB SALAD Sea Reclpa Betovw Salads for Summer Meals Cl IJp r \ When the mercury soars skyward and appetites are on the wane, noth­ ing tastes quite so good as a crisp, cool mixture of fresh greens, or fruits, or vegetables with a tart, taste-teasing dressing. Salads are summer favorites. There’s hardly a dish that’s so sim­ ple yet so satisfying to make, and there’s such a pleasant way of mak­ ing sure that we get the minerals and vitamins we need! Suggestions on Salads. Salad ingredients must be clean and cold and crisp. Contrast is im­ portant, too—con­ trast in textures, in flavors, and in colors. Combine crisp foods with soft; sharp, pun- gent-tasting foods with mild • fla­ vored ones; and pale, uninteresting looking foods with foods that are vividly colored. Make your summer salads as light or as substantial as you please. Find a few good basic recipes, and vary them to suit yourself. Here are some of my own favorites— practical, everyday recipes that are easy to prepare and serve, yet deli­ cious enough for almost any social occasion. Summer Tossed Salad. Dip edges of lettuce leaves In paprika and arrange in salad bowl. Add green pepper rings, cucumber slices, radish roses and tomatoes, cut lengthwise in eighths. Toss to­ gether with french dressing made as follows: grate % clove garlic on two tablespoons granulated sugar.

French Provincial Style Of Furniture Is Revived French provincial furniture, now that it is being revived, is sure to be with us for a long time for it is beautiful in itself, it is moderately priced, and it can be combined so well with early American styles. Many women, who like a little vari­ ety in their rooms, will delight to find that the simple, graceful chairs of beechwood and of cherry in this French vein mix perfect# with ma­ ple tables and chairs. There are charming upholstered armchairs, too, from which to choose, and many handsome little occasional tables, some of the tiered variety, others with sunken recep­ tacles for plants, and still others for bedside use and for service for afternoon tea or after dinner coffee. Whether you are doing an entire room or are merely investing in a piece or two you’ll have no difficulty in finding charming furniture in French provincial styI*- Summer Mood Expressed in Enchanting Sheer Cottons By CHERIE NICHOLAS s > " - fii ■ r -- * ¥ N r - •*>. Jpt ' i -h ' \X 7ITH the new emphasis on al- lure, romance and the sweetly feminine which is coloring every de­ tail of the season’s fashions, the evening mode for summer becomes more exciting than it has been in many decades. Romantic traditions are being revived with endlessly spreading skirts billowing from slender fitted basques or high bod­ ices, smooth shoulders gleaming above quaint puffed sleeves and the daintiest of materials heralding a new mood of enchantment. Nowhere is this new influence more thrillingly interpreted than, in the use of delicate sheer imported cottons for picturesque evening gowns. Fine Swiss organdies, amazingly versatile in their effects and finishes, are ideally adapted to glamorous styling. Deceptively fragile and delicate in appearance, they combine practicality with their alluring daintiness, for these im­ ported cottons carry a permanent lustrous finish which survives any ntimber of tubbings or trips to the cleaner. They may be depended upon to retain their original fresh­ ness and vitality indefinitely. Lovely beyond words are the cut­ out embroidered organdies in geo­ metric and floral patterns which make adorably youthful frocks when styled along simple lines that en­ hance the charm of the fabric. A winsome frock of the sweet sim­ plicity type that uses cutout , em­ broidered organdy is shown to Uie left in the illustration. Here deli­ cacy with chic is achieved, plus a dramatic play on color* via Uie strik­ ing use. of deep garnet colored or­ gandy embroidered in a trailing White vine patterning , as trimming on deep Jalue Swiss organdy sim­ ilarly embroidered. The frock is styled on period lines having a tiny low-cut basque bodice with very full skirt banded in the deep garnet organdy. The matching bolero tunes it to informal wear. It’s the fashion for dainty cotton sheers to be made up in the sweet simplicity mode with ribbons run through yards and yards of bead­ing and other cunning details that are reminiscent of great, great grandmamma’s day. Seeinttiegonn pictured to the right how entrancing- Iy this scheme of things is being tuned to current style trends. The material.for. this fetching .gown is a sheer cut-out embroidered Swiss or­ gandy with fitted basque bodice and detachable puffed sleeves. Deep rose grosgrain ribbon bandings show through the transparent weave most quaintly and effectively. The beautiful draping quality of Swiss cloque organdy is stressed in an off-shoulder style for festive wear as shown centered in the picture. A fine star patterning with a tiny eyelet in each star is printed on a pale blue background to make this ingenious dinner and evening frock with its softly gathered off-the- shoulder bodice and full sweeping skirt. Among the hosts of lovely organ­ dies and Swisses whose endearing “young’’ charms are making such definite fashion appeal for summer there’s nothing prettier to be found than, the more-popular-than-ever transparent organdies that are del­ icately shadow-printed in subtle lace motif accented by use of matching lace as trimming. Then there are such delightful effects as an apple green permanent finish Swiss organdy in a floral shadow- printed bouquet patterning on a crisp, clear transparent ground. Crystal clear organdies both in pastel monotones and deep tones are beguiling for gossamer sheer dinner and evening gowns styled to emphasize the daintiness of this type: (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) CheckSilkSuit Bustle Dress Is In Style Picture It is difficult to imagine the bustle dress coming back into the style pic­ ture, but from signs that tell it is not only coming but it’s here. The movement began with a disposition among several Paris couturiers who advocated fullness brought to the back in skirts—a fashion that is widely accepted at the moment. De­ signers recently returned from the Paris openings say that the theme has been taken up to such an ex­ tent many dresses reflect the bustle influence in no uncertain terms via big bows placed at the waistline and via hip drapery that terminates in a bustle line at the back. For the most part the bustle trend is con­ fined to formal evening gowns al­ though several afternoon flowered chiffons have taken on tiers of ruf­ fles at the back' starting at th« waistline. Important for summer is the cos- me suit tailored of silk print. The dress with jacket as here shown is pf a check print, for checks are the rage in Paris, with stripes in close rivalry. A silk, suit trend also ex­ ploits black bengaline or moire weaves. These are tailored with Classic distinction. In many in­ stances the edges of the neat trim jacket are finished with silk braid bindins. Mother-Daughter Styles in Favor The idea of styling parent-and- child costumes alike is as popular as ever. Some clever new versions turned out for this season include the skirt of many gores for both mother and little daughter done "in a monotone weave or in the popular stripes if you choose. Shirtwaistsof dotted or striped washable crepe are tailored identically, size their only distinction. Waves on Shore There’s a great wave movement in the present silhouette trend, seen in fullness, flounces and gathers. Even the tailored suit is softer and more feminine.

New Slenderizing Fashion. Large women who want a soft, pretty afternoon dress will find 1742 extremely becoming, and it’s decidedly new and smart. The paneled skirt, with a graceful cir­ cular flare, is markedly hip- diminishing.

North Carolina’s new marriage law is not proving practicable. According to a survey conducted by Henry Averill, Ualeigh corres- pondenent of The Record, the 1939 act has reduced issuanced of licenses to wed more than fifty per cent. Figures obtained from five counties in various sections of the state re­ veal that during April and May of 1938 there were 244 licenses issued as compared with only 114 for the same months this year, since the new law became effective. The five counties were New Han­ over, close to the South Carolina line; But not on it; Brunswick, on the South Carolina line; Wayne, some distance from any other states; Vance on the Virginia Tine; and Catawba, Democratic Split Seen. The announcement by Vice Presi­ dent John Nance Garner that his name should be placed befo o the next Democratic National conven­ tion in order that the delegates may have an opportunity of ‘voting for voting for him, is in reality an offi­ cial announcement of bis candidacy for the presidency. Ithas nowgone bevond the rumor stage. And the announcement serves to further the split th a t. is coming in the ranks of the majority party. There seems no way of avoiding it. Mr. Garner has a solid following a- mong what is known as the conser­ vative Democrats and this includes the influential bloc from the South —almost 100 per cent—and it is re­ ported that he is greatly disliked by the more extreme New Dealers. reasonably far in the North Carolina Political wise-acres say that he will go to the convention with enough votes to make it mighty tough for anv candidate he opposes. Then there is heard along the line much talk of nominating Secretary Csrdeli Hull, of Tennessee, as a sort compromise candidate. Many there are who are of the opinion Secretary Hull might prove the strongest can­ didate the Democrats could put into the field. The name of Senator Barkley, of Kentucky, a dashing sort of fcilow and an out and out New Dealer who goes about keynoting conventions, is being heard and so the rnm r factory continues to grind out candidates. interior. In.every county except Catawba the decline in licenses amounted to more than 50’Der cent, and here it was above 45 per cent—being 41 this year as compared to 80 last year for the two months considered. In 'practically every county the new law seems to be thoroughly un­ satisfactory to the Registerof Deeds, the sole good word for the new sta­ tu1 e coming from Brunswick, where the Register commented that “the new law has saved us the annoyance of applicapts for marriage licenses Saturday nights and Sundays.” L H Phillips, Catawba Register! of Deeds, is of the opinion that many, Many believe that President Roose- couples are marrying outside . the reIt feels that he is Jhe only candi- Would The Tax Collec­ tor Mind.

THREE SHUTTERED HOUSES Bv BIN JUNES WIUIAMS Coerrfgkl—WNU SEBVica CHAPTER XIII—Continned - 1 3 - Tope nodded, and he asked after a moment: “Do you know whether the front door was bolted or locked, the night your mother died, before you went to bed?” "Yes,” June said. “Uncle Justus bolted it. That's why, when the door blew open, it scared me. I knew it had been fastened, and I thought there must be someone in the house. But I didn’t wait to— find out. I just ran.” “Mr. Taine bolted it, did he?” Tope repeated thoughtfully. She said: "Yes, after Mother was in bed, I came to the head of the stairs, and I heard him tell Grand­ pa Hurder the door was fast.” She remembered suddenly: “And he tried to slip upstairs during the eve­ ning before Mother died. Aunt Evie saw him, called him back.” Tope was silent for a moment, and he asked then a new question: “If you went back, where would they likely have you stay?” “There isn’t any room at Aunt Evie’s,” June explained. “It’s just a small house, you know. I’d have to stay at Grandma Bowdon’s.” “They’ve put Mr. Hurder upstairs, In the Bowdon house,” Tope report­ ed. “The back room on the west jtide.” “That’s a spare room,” June as­ sented. “Grandpa and Grandma Bowdon used the east rooms.” “H you go out there, then, you’d probably have the front room on the west side.” “I suppose so.” “I’d want you to try to arrange to take care of him,” Tope told her. “To sit up with him tonight—in the room with him.” He considered. ,“They may not let you; but if you’re in the next room, you can hear, lis­ ten.” “The stairs are between,” she said. “But the doors are just across the hall, opposite one another.” “Are there locks on the doors in that house?” Tope asked gravely. “Locks, yes,” Jtme said. “There are locks everywhere. Even the closets are locked. Grandma Bow­ don always carries a bunch of keys on her belt.” Clint said urgently: “Inspector, I’m going to have a ladder ready, so I can get up to her room, get In the window if-I have to.” “Yes,” Tope said seriously. “That's good. Or so she can get out and down to us, quickly, if any­ one tries to get at her. And I’ll give her a revolver, show her how—”The telephone interrupted him, and Miss Moss went to answer it. She turned to say softly, her hand over the receiver: "It’s for June.” So Jtme crossed to the older wom­ an’s side; she took the telephone in her hand. They heard her say: “Hello. Yes . . . Yes, Grand­ ma.” And after a long time: “Yes . . . Yes, I’m coming.” And then: “Yes . . . They will bring me out, in a little while.” Clint felt his pulses pound with a deep terror; but he could not check her now. A moment later she said, “Yes,” again, and put the instru­ ment down and faced them all. “That was Grandma Bowdon,” She explained. “Grandpa Bowdon’s funeral is this afternoon, late. She wants me to be there, and to go home with them afterward.” She added slowly: “That’s what I will do.” > In the preparations that followed, Clint’s hopeless protests were all o/erbome. June’s dress, that new dress Asa had given her, was sooted and soiled. Mtes Moss made Clint drive her to the nearest shop, and they' brought home two or three dresses for trial, found one that would serve. When they thus re­ turned, Inspector Tope had rum­ maged out his old revolver and was explaining to June its simple mech- pnism before she left for the funeral. The’ ritual was scarce finished be­ fore Mrs. Taine came swiftly toward them. “It is hard for me to forgive you for this, June,” Atmt Evie told the girl, in her low, whispering tones. “You have added much to the bur­ den we have all had to bear today.” Clint saw Rab guiding old Mrs. Bowdon to their car; he heard June say calmly: “This is Mr. Jervies, Aunt Evie.” Her eyes met Clint’s, and she added proudly: "I’m going to marry him. I’ll stay with you as long as you need me, if it isn’t too long; but then I’m going to him.” “That is as may be,” Mrs. Taine commented. “Such matters are not decided' so quickly, June.” Then Asa came up beside her. He drawled cheerfully: “Hullo, June. Hullo, Jervies. June, with' a man like this one to take care of you, you’d better hang on to him.” Mrs. Taine said softly: "Asa!” The word hissed on her tongue. Asa looked at Clint. “Why don’t you keep her, Jervies?" he suggest­ ed insistently. Clint cried: “I want to!”But Mrs. < Taine _ said: "Come, child.” Sbg took June’s arm; CIint Mw her Rogers tighten cruelly. He started forward, but June freed her­ self, and she said calmly: “I’m coming, Aunt Evie. You need not hold me!”And she. nodded to Clint in a deep reassurance, and led the way to­ ward the waiting car. Tope had promised to meet Clint beside the road, on the way up Kenesaw Hill, as soon as it should be dark. It was still no more than dusk when Clint took the road up the hill; but at an angle the Inspec­ tor stepped out to halt him. “Doctor Cabler’s at the house,” he said. “He and Mr. Taine stayed with Mr. Hurder during the funeral I want to see him when he leaves. Go ahead, over the top of the hill.” Clint obeyed; and Tope explained: “Heale can’t be here. He’s laid up —a bad cold from last night. But he’s lending us a couple of men.” And he said, half to himself; “Here are two women killed. A "Mrs. Xaine is giving her a glass of milk.” man don’t often kill a woman unless he loves her, or has loved her." They passed the two houses which still stood atop the hill; but Clint scarce noticed them. “You mean Mr. Leaford?” he cried, in incredu­ lous astonishment. "But a woman don’t mind killing another woman,” said the Inspec­ tor grimly, as though finishing his thought; and d in t looked at him with wide startled eyes. Before he could speak the ques­ tion in his mind, a man appeared in their headlights, a policeman in uniform; and they stopped. Tope opened the car door. “Hello, Rand,” he said. "Doctor still there?" The policeman nodded. "And. Fve got the ladder,” he reported. “Hid it over in the woods.” “Good man,” Tope approved, and they got out and waited, till pres­ently Doctor Cabler in his car came down the road. He stopped at a signal, and Tope spoke to him apart in low tones. When the Doctor drove on, the Inspector returned to them, and he explained: “Mr. Hurder is better! Tomorrow will tell the tale, whether he’s going to live. The Doctor thinks he will. He’s given the old man something to make him sleep.” The house on this, side all was dark, except that there was a light­ ed window in the kitchen. Topewas at the rear comer there. The win­ dow-blind was drawn; but by mov­ ing out a little from the house, Clint could see a rectangle of light where the window was. Some one was pre­ paring supper — talking, probably. Tope stood just below the window, as though listening. Inaction began to madden him, when at last there came an inci­ dent to relieve the strain: a door opened; someone.came out. Clint saw that this must be Jus­ tus Taine, a heavy figure of a man, walking with head bowed. He saw this mail pause yonder by the ash- filled cellar of the Hurder house and stand for a moment beside the pit as though in some dark recov­ ery, before he went on. Later a light appeared in the Taine house, behind a curtained window; then nothing happened for a while. Clint had time for thought, and he remembered his own suspicions of Justus Taine, mid was glad Taine was no longer Here in the house' with June. But—Tope had dismissed Clint’s theory, and the young man remembered thte, and his nerves drew taut again. When someone touched his elbow, he leaped like a startled horse, ready to cry out, but Tope whispered: “Hush, steady, son!” Clint nodded; he tried to speak, but his voice croaked dangerously. He lifted the ladder, Tope helping him; and they leaned it against the window-sill above them without a sound. Clint climbed it instantly; he stopped with his head level with the ailL Since there was no light in the room, he could not see whether the shade was drawn or not; but he waited, striving to peer into the blackness behind the glass. Once he looked, down cautiously, and saw Tope’s round figure hud­ dled at the foot of the ladder, Tope’s round face watchfully upturned. He then saw June and Mrs. Taine come in, June with a lighted' can­ dle. Behind them he saw Rab and Asa in the hall, and Mrs. Bowdon’s ample form. And then his heart suddenly was in his throat; for Mrs. Taine had a glass of milk in her hand. Mrs. Leaford had drunk a glass of milk that night she died; the Hur- ders too. There was to Clint some­ thing hideous and sinister in thte in­ nocent beverage now. He took an impulsive step higher, his hand raised to break the window in. But Tope below him hissed a warning; and Clint leaned down to whisper desperately: “Mrs. Taine is giving her a glass of milk!” "She won’t drink it,” Tope prom­ ised. “I warned her not to drink anything, or eat anything except what the others did.” And Mrs. Taine suddenly, still talking, withdrew. June did not move. She watched the door. Clint waited, his pulse racing. Then, after a long minute, Tope whispered: “Down!” Clint was on the ground in an in-, stant; and Tope breathed in his ear; “The door.” Clint at first did not understand. Then he heard the click of a latch, and toward the rear of the house a figure did appear—Mrs. Taine, he guessed. She walked briskly away. They saw her figure in silhouette against the light when she opened the kitchen door of her own home yonder and went in. Then Clint started to climb the ladder again. “Careful,” the old man warned him. “Don’t show yourself above the window-sill. She might see you from' over there”’ But Clint could not resist looking once to be sure June was unharmed. He saw her carefully propping a chair under ’ the door-knOb; saw that the milk stayed untasted. She secured the door, and then blew out the candle, and so came to the window and opened it. She leaned here above him, and he whispered: “All right, June?" “Yes,” she said slowly. “But Aunt Evie gave me a glass 6f— warm milk. To make me sleep, she said. I promised to drink it when I was in bed.” “She’s gone home,” d in t told her reassuringly. “Home?” the girl exclaimed. “She said she was going to stay with him. He’s all alone. Fm going in—” “No,” Clint insisted. “Rab and Asa are still in the house. And she’s coming back. Give me that milk, June. I want Tope to taste it.” She brought the glass and gave it to him. He said: 'T ll be right here.’ All night.” “Poor darling!” she whispered. “In the rain.” "Near you,” he told her. “I shan’t feel it.” He took the milk down to Inspec­ tor Tope. The old man dipped a finger into it, touched the finger to bis lips. “Can't taste anything,” he said. "But I’ll send Rand to have it tested, right now." And he direct­ ed: “You stay here!” Clint nodded, and Tope started away. He moved past the comer of the house; and suddenly, when he was six paces off, he stumbled over something lying in the uncut grass, and fell heavily. Clint heard the breath go out of him with a grunt. The young man moved swiftly to­ ward him; but before he could come to Tope’s side, the Inspector was on his hands and knees. Clint whispered: "Hurt?” And Tope said gravely: “There’s another ladder here. I tripped over it.” He added ruefully: “Spilled the milk. That’s bad!” “Another ladder?” Clint echoed. There was a dreadful clamor in his ears, his own pulse was pounding so. Then from the window above them, June called very softly: “Clint, dear, are you there? Are you all right?” “Yes, sweet," he whispered. “What happened?” she asked.. "The Inspector fell down,” he said reassuringly. “Didn’t hurt him!” He climbed to her window, and her arms held him fast, her lips trem­ bling against his own. “You mustn’t be afraid,” he urged. “Fm coming back to you tomor­ row,” she declared. “For good and all,” he agreed. She said wistfully: “You could come in here, out of the rain.” And she urged: “They’ve left Grandpa Htuder all alone. I want to go to him.” But he said sternly: “No. Maybe that’s what they want you to do. You stay here. If anyone, tries to open your door—” He kissed her again. "Good night, sweet,” he said. “And sleep sound." He descended to the ground once more. “Mr. Hurder’s alone,” he re­ ported to Tope. “She wants to go to him. I wouldn't let her.” Then June spoke,' whispering, above their heads; and Clint was up the ladder in a bound. “Rab and Asa have gone into Grandpa’s room,” she explained. “Asa wants to stay with Grandpa; but Rab’s arguing about it. I can hear them talking.” She turned her head at some sound in the hall, whispered, “Hush,” and crossed to listen at the door. Clint, even from where he was, could hear the murmur of their voices. Then this sound re­ ceded, and June returned to him. "They’re going,” she reported. “Asa said he had to go to town later tonight, and he wanted to stand his turn with Grandpa now, and let Rab and Aunt Evie sleep. But Rab in­ sisted it was all right to leave Grandpa, insisted that they both go home.” “I’ll tell Tope,” Clint assured her, and looked down. But Tope had vanished. She urged in shaken tones: “I want to see if Grandpa’s all right— if they did anything to him. Please!” Clint hesitated. ‘T il come in with you,” he decided then. He climbed over the sill, and with their hands entwined, they crossed the room: Very quietly- she removed the chair braced under the knob and opened the door. “He’s sleeping so peacefully, like a child.” When he descended the laddei, Tope had not reappeared; but Clinf was content in the certainty thaf June was safe. He stood by the foot of the ladder, tense, ready for anj alarm; and minutes drifted by. Once there was a sound, toward the Taine house, a rumbling sound as though, a garage-door had been rolled back on its track. U Asa were departing for . town now, then Rab, or Uncle Justus, or Aunt Evie, might presently come this way. Oint was in a sweat of tense, fear­ ful anticipation. He began to won­ der why Asa did not start the car and go. (TO BE CONTINUED) People on Nordi Carolina’s Banks Talk In Lmgo of Queen Elizabeth Inlanders who visit North Caro­ lina’s primitive and'romantic Outer Banks meet many strange sights and sounds, not the least of which is the native dialect spoken by the “bankers” who inhabit the narrow rope of land .stretching thread-like from Norfolk, Va., to Wilmington, N. C. The dialect is a strange mixture of native dialect and Elizabethan English, spoken-on Roanoke island, Ocracoke and other small fishing vil­ lages along the banks, and outsiders who sometimes stumble into the midst of this isolated colony are likely to be amazed by the language. If the outlander. asks a native for information about the fishing there­ abouts, he may be told that “a foine tbime to go fishing is at hoigh toide.” Because many other words and phrases are so similar in texture and construction to the phraseology of Queen Elizabeth’s day, historians and philologists believe there is a distinct although unexplained con­ nection between the two. Some contend earliest settlers brought their native English speech to the Carolina shores during the days of Queen Elizabeth, and that this has been preserved through generation after , generation , of na­ tives who live 'on the “banks,” sel­ dom if ever getting very far away from their native hearth. At Rodanthe they still sing the old English songs and ballads that were popular in the days of Ben Jonson and Shakespeare. The ghosts of Spencer and CSiaucer, of,BeowuS and Piers the Plowman are con­ jured up when one hears an able and affable man spoken of as “be­ ing witted and couthe.” A plump, good-looking girl is a “throddy may.” The old word “fleech” means to coax or flatter, and when a man fails to keep an engagement or do his'part, he has "scooped” you. When he dies be has “gone to lee­ ward,” and if he goes'to “the Coun­ try" he is visiting the mainland across the bay. Persons visiting the “banks” are told of the “ghosties” where the old wrecks lie scattered along the shore, of hens that have “nesties,” or men who are “fitten” for certain services because their “mother wit” makes them “mindable.” A flask of whis ky will'' contain not a pint but i “point,” and the vine from whirl: wine is made-is the “wine'.’ and nit the “vine.” ADVENTUROUS AMERICANS Elmo Scott Watson The First Rebel TAMES J j Itlff of J SMITH led the first upris­ ing of American colonists against England, drew the first blood in actual battle and all this 10 years before the Revolution began. At the age of 18, yourig Smith was captured and held prisoner for four years by the Caughnawaga Indians. During thte time he not only acquired their skill in wood­ craft and their cunning in warfare but also learned to hate the traffic in whisky and rifles that both the French and British were carrying on with the Indians. He could see the disastrous effects on the red man of the white man’s greed for money. Smith organized a band of fron­ tiersmen called “Black Boys,” in 1763. Their purpose was to keep the drunk and bloodthirsty Indians out of Conococheague valley. But two years later, Smith decided that the best way to fight them was to cut off their source of supply for whis­ ky and arms. Accordingly, his “Black Boys” held up a pack train and burned the goods. On May 6, 1765, a platoon of Brit­ ish Highlanders, members of the Forty-second regiment of His Maj­ esty’s army in America—the famous “Black Watch”—marched on the town of Fort Loudon, Pa., to pre­ serve law and order and put thte lawless band of “Black Boys” in their place. But when the British soldiers reached Smith’s forces and Sgt. Mc- Glasham ordered them to “Halt! In the king’s name, halt!” a pitched battle followed in which the soldiers were driven into the cabin of a cer­ tain Widow Barr. The rebels kept them there until the Britishers agreed to march back to Ft. Loudon from whence they came. And so the truly first battle of the Ameri­ can Revolution, fought 10 years be­ fore the famous battle of Bunker Hill, was won by America’s first rebel, James Smith.* • • Sky Pflot of Deadwood A MONG the thousands of adven- turers who took part in the gold rush to the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1876 was Connecticut-born Henry Weston Smith. Smith arrived at Deadwood when the town was at the height of its un­ tamed glory. But he was not seek­ ing gold. He picked rip roarin’ Deadwood to try out his preaching talents. m—. He preached in the streets, but received no money for it, support­ ing himself by manual labor such as cutting trees, chopping wood and fir­ ing a sawmill boiler. Even his preaching was not only spiritually but physically difficult—he had to shout at the top of his voice to .be heard above the raucous calls of the gamblers and entertainers. On Sunday, August 20, 1876, after his usual morning services in the main street of Deadwood, he start­ ed out for Crook City, 10 miles away. He put his Bible in one pock­ et, the copy of his sermon in an­ other and pinned a note on his cabin door that said, “Gone to Crook City, and if God is willing, will be back at 2 p. m.” God wasn’t willing. When about halfway there, he was stalked and killed by a Sioux war party. For some strange and unknown reason, the Indians did not rob him or scalp him, but crossed his hands peace­ fully on his breast and put his Bible in them.* * • The Railroad Raider ON THE morning of April 12, 1862, a train stopped at Mariet­ ta, Ga., en route from Atlanta to Chattanooga. An unusually large number of men passengers came aboard, claiming they were refu­ gees from within the Yankee lines and wanting to join the Confederate forces. When the train stopped a t: Big Shanty for breakfast, James J. An­ drews, a citizen from Flemingsbiirg, Ky., and one of the large party of alleged refugees, cut away all but three cars,, climbed into the cab and steamed away. Capt. W. A. Fuller, who was in charge of the train, dashed to the telegraph office to warn the station agents up the line but found that toe telegraph wires had been cu t- An­ drews really was the leader of a group of Union soldiers in civilian clothes who started out to paralyze traffic on the Western and Atlantic railroad—one of toe vital arteries of Confederate transport Captain Fuller got a handcar and with a couple of men started in pursuit But Andrews burned 15 bridges, puffed up many sections oftrack and placed several obstacles along toe right of way, all whflb keeping ahead of his pursuers who finally abandoned toe handcar when they were able to board a locomo­ tive. About to be. overtaken, Andrews set fire to toe last freight car, left it on a bridge and ran into toe woods with his crew. - Mounted mi­ litia finally captured all of Andrews' party and he, with several others was executed.as a spy. .P Vesteni Newspaper Ualem Oilcloth Folders for Your Cooking Booklets By RUTH WYETH SPEARS CtVERY efficient kitchen has a " book shelf. The paper back booklets that all homemakers love to collect may be placed in bright oil cloth folders so that they will make a brave show along .with the bound cook books. The prettiest folders of thte sort that I have seen were made in green and yellow to match the kitchen color scheme. The dia­ gram s given here show exactly how they were made. It is gen- GBEEN OL CUOTH CAPO VEIXOW OIL _ Ba*B0 CLOTH erally best to sort the booklets ac­ cording to subjects rather than size. The folders are stiffened with cardboard so they hold booklets of different sizes neatly. The card­ board should be cut the size of the largest booklet in the group. The fabric side of both pieces of oil­ cloth should be entirely covered with paste to make it stick smoothly to the cardboard. Let­ ter or write the general subject of toe booklets on a label and paste it on the back. Place the folder flat under something heavy until it is dry. NOTE: Book I—SEWING, fpr the Home Decorator, and No. 2, Gifts, Novelties, and Embroid­ eries, are now 15 cents each, or both books for 25 cents.

Seven years, ago this fall Mr. Roosevelt was out on the stump campaigning lor the office of presi­ dent of the United States. Of all the things be . said in his speeches we will never forget four promises that be made the citizens of the United States, provided he was elected. Just how welt he has kept these promises we all know. Tbe first one was that he would, put the ten million jobless men to work. Tbe second one was that be would balance the budget, the third was that he would reduce the number of Government employees, and the fourth was that he would fight for the repeal of the Volstead law, or 18 th Amendment and legalize the sale of alcoholic beverages- and li­ quors. The ten million idle men have been increased to eleven cr twelve million; the budget is at least twenty billion dollars out of bal­ ance: the number of Government* Iemployees have been more th:.n trippled, and liquor- is flowing as) freely as branch water in near’y j every one of the 4 8 slates.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON N EW YORK--Filming of Kip­ ling’s “The Light That Failed” on the New Mexico desert, near Santa Fe, was delayed the other day when a SandstormMUd savage wind Compared tor. blew the tents Director’s Past awa7- ^ e Pug-naeiousWilUam Wellman, the director, long known as “Wild Bill,” enjoys fighting sand­ storms, having licked one almost single-handed when he was filming “Beau Geste,” in Arizona. He probably got a few good shots of the storm and will work them into . the film, with his gift for improvi- zation. He was the flying partner of Tommy Hitchcock, the polo player, in the Lafayette Esca- drille in the World war, and re­ vealed an instinct for showman­ ship by playing tones on Ger­ man tower bells with a machine gnn as he zipped around the belfry. It was said that, before the Germans dropped him In a tree and sent him home, he could peg out “Silver Threads Among the Gold” without a sour note. In aviation films, he has employed effectively both his histrionic talents and his training in air acrobatics. His film, “Wings,” of 1928, touched off his expanding fame. “Men With Wings,” of last year, rated by discerning critics as a top- bracket film, told the story of avia­ tion from flie day of the Wright brothers’ first flight. He was known at times, around Hollywood, as “Screwball Bill,” but has simmered - down considerably since he married Dorothy Coonan, finding a des­ ert sandstorm only mildly di­ verting, considering his rough- and-tumble past. He is, however, as Irish as ever, and his famous serial fight with an unknown Paris antagonist probably will continue. On leave in Paris, he found it nec-Engages in a Serial Fight - With Unknown essary to re­ buke an offen­ sive stranger by knocking him stiff as a plank. Late, in Chi­ cago, the stranger, spying Mr. Well­ man on the street, did the same to him. A year or two later, in Holly­ wood, seeing his unknown sparring partner crossing the street, Mr. Wellman put himself one up by a blow to the clun. There have been other encounters. I believe the score is now even. But. be, bears no grjidge. It is just a detail of his native ebul­ lience, which leads him to such de­ vices as galvanizing the chairs on the lot so his working crew can't sit down. With Capra, La Cava and Hitchcock, he is achieving a sharp characterization and fin­ ished technique, as the movies get into long pants and offer adult entertainment. He grew up in Brookline, Mass., tried to sell chocolates and woolen goods, but didn’t, went to the war with an ambulance unit and won the Croix de Guerre with the Lafayette EscadriIIe. His friend, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., steered him to Hollywood, soon after the war, as a mes- - senger boy for Goldwyn. In 10 years, be did almost everything for every studio in Hollywood, before he hit his stride with “Wings.” He is 43, slender, whippy, with a touch of gray in his curly brown hair, and is apt to sock anybody in an argument and then affectionate­ ly buy him a drink. “A Star Is Bom” hiked his fame considerably. 1 1 'HIS reporter asked several in- formed persons if they knew that a woman was assistant secre­ tary of the United States treasury.

Zoo Baby Demands De Luxe Service Globe-Trotting Cyclist Visits Neiv York Fair This 18-month-old baby elephant arrived recently at the Philadelphia, Pa., zoo to take up temporary quarters with two antelopes. When the zoo’s newest tenant proves to her keepers that she is accustomed to and friendly with humans, she will be transferred to the baby zoo. The little elephant, three-feet, nine-inches tall, was caught in Rangoon, Burma, and is the gift of Frank B. Foster, a zoo director. Keeper Pat Cronin is shown feeding the youngster on its arrival at the zoo. ‘Casey Jones Was the Rounder’s Name* Mrs. John Luther Jones, widow of the famed Casey Jones, hero of song and story, who was killed in a historic train wreck on April 30, 1900, shakes hands with Engineer Herbert Nicholson, who is in the cab of the “William Mason” of 1870. Many of the trains that were operating when Casey Jones died “with his hand on the throttle” are on exhibition at Uie New Tork World’s fair. The song of Casey’s death has become one of. America’s best known ballads, originating with the noted engineer’s Negro helper. No Fascist Salute for Prince Umberto No Longer Rate tScare Headtf encouragement in did. Mrs. Blair Banister, who holds that of- { fice, would find I _______o that. She tells the Regional Conference of Demo­ cratic Women at Washington that the decreasing public excitement about women in office is a good sign. Their status in public life, if that’s what interests them, is so assured that they no longer -rate “glaring headlines” when they are put in a responsible post. Mrs. Banister is a sister of Senator Carter Glass, one of a family of six boys and six girls, all following their father’s business—newspaper work. Her sister, Dr. Meta Glass, is presi­ dent of Sweetwater college. Mrs. Banister left Lynchburg, Va., in 1919, to assist . George Creel’s committee on public informa­ tion. She was .appointed to the treasury post" in July, 1933. (Consolidated Feature*—WNU Service.) Even though Us Belgian ^rffe, Princess Marie Jose, snaps out the stiff-armed Fascist salute A m o; ceremonies in Nnoro, Italy, Crown Prince Umberto—who has,had several tiffs with the Black Shirts—seems to prefer the pre-Fascism military salute. The ceremonies were held iii honor of cadets who fell in the recent Spanish civil war. Peggy Allin, 25-year-old girl from Mayes, Kent, England, arrived in New York. recently after cycling across England to Port Talbot, Wales, where she took a freighter to Montreal, Canada. She continued her bicycle trip to New York, and will cross the continent before visit­ ing New Zealand and Australia. World Traveler Little Stephen Swanson, six months old, has already seen a lot of the world. With his mother, Mrs. Ted W.

GALE PAGE Second Wives.” Just see what you, the public, started when you ac­ claimed the three Lane sisters and Gale Page in that first picture I In case you’re interested in that picture Samuel Goldwyn has been making, bringing Jascha Heifetz to the screen, the title has been changed again. “Music School” has been abandoned in favor of “They Shall Have Music,” which is going to be a bit harder on the men who fit the- names of pictures into thea* ter marquees. — * — When you see Brian Aherne In "Juarez”—if you. haven’t already seen him—yon might pretend that you’re a movie mogul and study his performance with the idea of of­ fering him the role of “Christopher Columbus” in the movie version of that famous Italian’s life. That’s vrtiat Edward Small did. On second thought, maybe you’d better not bother. For it would be a shame to do anything that would take your mind off the grand picture that Aheme, Paul Muni and Bette Davis made together. “Juarez” de. serves ail your attention. For a long time it seemed likely that Rudy VaUee would be remem­ bered as the man who started the “crooner” wave that swept over the country. Now it seems far more likely that he’ll be famous as the fellow who discovered and devel­ oped more celebrities than anybody else. Tommy Riggs, Edgar Bergen, Bob Burns—they’re just three out of a list of more than one hundred radio celebrities who owe their fame to the chance that he gave them. Those quiz programs, in one form or another, seem likely to go on forever, which is bad news for all the singers whom they have crowd- ied off the airways. One of the newest and most in­ genious is that presided over by the two writers of mystery stories who sign their output “Ellery Queen.” It’s known as “The Adventures of Ellery Queen-.” Each week a mys­ tery story is dramatized, with Mr. Queen and four guest detectives lis­ tening. As soon as Queen knows who the murderer is he stops the play, and each giiest is asked to give his solution of the mystery. Then the dramatization is re­ sumed and the author’s solution given. It’s lots of fun to follow from your own arm chair. One of the radio singers for whom quiz programs hold - no threats is Felix Knight, who’s just had an­ other renewal of his contract on that half-hour preceding the Vallee show. He appeared on it for one guest appearance, something like 84 weeks ago, and has been a regu­ lar ever since.

Aeb yosraewworl DOANS Pl LLS BAKED EGGS IN HAM NESTS See Recipo Below, Metds That Are Different A slice of golden-yellow cheese With a time-mellowed sharpness of flavor is the perfect accompaniment for a piece of rich, juicy, apple pie —but all too often we forget that its usefulness doesn’t stop there. There are so many varieties of cheese, and so many uses for each, that menu making with this versatile food is fun. There are rich, full-flavored cheeses, cheeses with a tempting sharpness of flavor, and delicate, mild cheeses—cheeses to suit every taste, and for every use, from appe­ tizer to dessert. Because cheese is high in food value and comparatively low in cost, meals built around it are nu­ tritious and eco­ nomical, too. And if you’re feeding a family that ,v - I won’t drink milk, i ' V lA & remember that' serving cheese is an excellent way of getting more milk into the diet, for most cheese is concentrated whole milk (or milk which has been partially skimmed). This group of cheese recipes, which I’ve found temptingly deli­ cious, will help you to plan meals that are different and very good to eat. There are new flavor combi­ nations—the sharp tang of mustard added to the mellow taste of old cheese, pungent chives with cbttage cheese, and an old favorite—ham and eggs with richly flavored cheese to bring out the best in both. These recipes, which have been tested in my own kitchen, are practical and easy to use. Swiss Cheese French Toast. 8 slices bread Va cup butter 4 square slices Swiss cheese (%-inch thick) 3 eggs 3 tablespoons'milk Vi teaspoon salt Dash pepper Dash paprika ' Va cup butter Remove crusts Spread one side of bread with creamed butter. Makewandwiches of cheese and b r e a d , firmly pressing edges to­ gether. Beat eggs and add milk, salt, pepper and paprika. Melt re­ maining butter in a skillet.

Drain thoroughly, and place layers of the macaroni, grated cheese, salt and pepper in a baking dish. Dot with butter, Garnish with paprika. Mix the milk and prepared mustard together and pour over the maca­ roni. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit) about one-half hour. ‘Baked Eggs in Ham Nests. Baked or boiled ham Eess „English muffins American cheese (grated) Line custard cups with thin slices of baked or boiled ham- Drop a raw egg into each cup, and bake them in a moderate oven, 325 de­ grees Fahrenheit, 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are done. Split the muffins, toast them, then sp rin k le each half generously with from bread, of each slice grated cheese. Return to a mod­ erate oven, 325 degrees Fahrenheit, to melt the cheese. Remove the egg and ham nests from the custard clips and place one on each muffin half. Serve immediately. Cheese Souffle.

Life is full of choices, and the decisions we make determine our destiny both in this life and in the life to come. Since the great issues of our life may hinge on the sim­ plest of choices, it is obvious that we need guidance at every point and in every moment of life. The counsel of men, the right impulses which are born of good breeding, the light of knowledge—all these may help us to make right choices. But since there is only One who has all the knowledge, who can see the end from the beginning, who has all the power to make His decisions effective, it is obviously folly of the highest degree to do without His holy guidance, especially since God is willing to give it without money and without-price even to the hum­ blest believer, 1 Men and women, let us not follow the foolishness of Rehoboam. Let us seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, and then we are as­ sured that everything else shall be added unto us (Matt. 6:33). ~ The picture before us is astonish­ ingly up-to-date. People were cry­ ing for relief from tax burdens. One group of leaders counseled modera­ tion; another group, said in effect, tax them all you can and keep on spending. The king, who in a mon­ archy had the final decree in his power, replied to the plea of the people with the 900 B. C. equivalent of our modern slang expression, "Oh, yeah?” and the ten tribes promptly revolted. I. A Reasonable Request (w . 1- 5). Governments exist for the people, not the people for the government. Political leaders seem to forget this axiom and begin to rule as though they need not listen to the reason­ able pleas of the people. Tax bur­ dens rise, regimentation of the life of the nation takes place, and soon­ er or later the people rise to over­ throw the government. It happened in Rome, it was back of the French Revolution, it brought an uprising of the serfs of Russia, it can and will happen elsewhere if men who rule do not listen to reason. Rehoboam made at least one wise decision—to wait three days before speaking and to seek counsel. He needed thjs,...,for. having been broughjfup in tnepalaceof Solomon, without proper training for his place as king, he was quite unable1 to make immediate answer to their re­ quest. Incidentally, we note that much of the folly of Rehoboam is chargeable to the neglect of his fa­ ther to rear him ^properly. May that terrible thing never be said about you and me regarding our children. II. Au Unreasonable Refusal (w . 12-15). The picture of the two groups of advisers is a most graphic one and- should afford the teacher an excel­ lent opportunity to show young peo­ ple especially, how important it is to heed'the counsel of their elders. Even so youth stands today at the fork of the road. Let us in all kind­ ness, love, and tact seek to help them choose the right way. □I. The Inevitable Revolt (w . 16, 17, 20). The people, long submissive and apparently servile, ultimately come to the point where they think, and' when they do, dictatorial rulers tumble from their self-made thrones. Would that the people of the earth realized the power which they have, and that they would use it for the glory of God. Rehoboam felt the power of the people who re­ volted, others have followed him, for it is still true in the world that the rulers “do evil” because “they prepare not their hearts to seek the Lord.” Rehoboam, who had awaited the arrival of this crucial hour in an­ ticipation of taking his place as the king of the ten tribes, was ready, and was at once chosen as the lead­ er of those who withdrew from the rule of the house of David. Reho- boam’s sin brought this about, but it was also In the counsels of ,God (v. 15). As Alexander Maclaren ex­ presses it, “ . . . the historian draws back tiie curtain. On earth stand the insolent king and mutinous peo­ ple, each driving at their ends, and neither free of sin and selfishness. A stormy sea of people, without thought of God, rages below, and above sits the Lord, working His great purpose by men’s sin. That divine control does not in'the least affect fiie freedom or the responsi­ bility- of. the-actors. .Rehoboani’s disregard of the people’s terms was ‘a thing brought about of the Lord,’ but it was Rehoboam’s .sin none the V iw* eV YOU’LL feel cool, and look A smart, as well as much slim­ mer, in 1773, a soft afternoon dress with fuff, graceful sleeves, a paneled skirt, and shirred bod­ ice that fits beautifully over the bust.

"The Idea Is to look healthy and natural. Let your skin warm to the sun. Let your hair blow free. Discard rouge and pow­der if you like. But, even if you're rusticating back on the farm, you’ll still accent two features—eyes and Ups.” Eyebrows should be kept groom­ ed and free of stray hairs at all times. This is quickly done with the convenient tweezers with scis­ sors handle, sketched above. Keep to the natural hairline and avoid any artificial look which is now definitely “dated.” • Luxuriant lashes are another beauty aim which may be achieved, as you tend your garden, with care and cultivation. Kurlene, a fine eye­lash dressing made of rich, natural, oils, will do the trick. Applied with the tip of- the finger or an eye beauty brush, it leaves the lashes sUky and pliable. And now comes the final touch, a wide starry-eyed effect, produced with a clever eyelash curler that trains lashes upward with no heat or cosmetics. In selecting a lip­ stick. choose one with clear, warm blood tofies, lighter than you’ve been using. Accent your eyes and Hps this summer, to look healthy and natu­ ral. But the wise girl will use just a bit of art to aid Nature. Land posters at tins office. OhlOhl 'S1WrongWay! dOAXIn CustamrsMhAnmmsibrG E acked h p G Q Q i. S e m c a f HUNTING BUSINESS Try O ur Ad U "P o n a eiJla iIti U z "THREE SHUTTERED HOUSES BY BEN AMES WILLIAMS STANDING by themselves on Kene- 1 saw Hill, three dilapidated man­ sions cast an evil shadow of gloom over the surrounding countryside. Sprawling old houses, they were sinister and darkly foreboding. Inside one of them lived pretty June Leafordl surrounded by taciturn, close- mouthed relatives, one of whom was a maniacal murderer, cleverly striking at those who stood in the way. The ultimate solving of the mystery by two of fiction's best known charac­ ters, Inspector Tope and Miss Moss, is one of Ben Ames Williams' most thrill­ ing stories. How they are helped in the solution of the crime by Clint Jerviesl in love with June, is one of the heart* warming features of the detective tale.
