* SYNOPSIS At the premiere of her latest motion picture, beautiful Leni Luneska, the star, is embarrassed by the appearance of her husband, Karl Kruger, whom she married in Vienna, when just a child. Years of brutality and unhappiness followed. Finally Kruger was put in prison and Leni came to America where, after a long struggle, she reached stardom in motion pictures. Kruger now seeks recognition as her husband and waits in a private office of the theatre for her to reconsider her refusal. Meanwhile, . thieves are robbing the safe in the next office. Lucky Cavanaugh, who met the star that evening and fell in love with her on sight, orders Kruger to leave. A fight ensues. Failing in an attempt to shoot Cavanaugh, Kruger rushes into the next office. The burglars, surprised, kill him. Detective Tom Mulrooney suspects Cavanaugh but, when the latter denies the crime, gives him four days in which to find the murderer among his underworld friends. Cavanaugh is warned by “Slug,” one of the robbers, that the gunmen fear he will squeal and so "have you on the spot.” At Leni's home. Lucky receives a phone call from a woman, named Annette, who threatens him. Cavanaugh proposes to Leni. Steve Poietzki, Kruger's murderer, is lying in ambush, across the alley from Cavanaugh's home, ready to shoot him. as Lucky returns home to find Annette in his apartment. CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO She lifted her arms and came toward him. “My darling . . .” she was saying in another voice, “I love you—l love you . •.” Cavanaugh backed away from her, “Keep away from me!” He bumped against a chair. She was closer, so close that her perfume was sweet and sickly in his nostrils. She filled the room. There was no escape. She was a power of infinite evil engulfing everything I else. ... “Keep away from me!” his words I rang with desperation. What happened was not clear in his mind because it was not a process of intellect. Her arms got around him and he flung off their coiled strength. He was not struggling against a woman but against an unknown kind of danger that could not be combatted by any means at hand. A destruction that tore at the soul and left the body untouched. He looked at her face and by some distortion of vision it seemed black as the night itself. .. . Again there was some sort of struggle in which his hands and arms moved with heavy slowness as muscles move in the resisting thickness under water. At the same moment on the fire escape across the court Poietzki raised his right arm and aimed the outomatic directly at Cavanaugh’s head. For one stretching second his aim was perfect. His finger began to compress the trigger as the man and woman before his eyes started again to change position. It was too late to stop the shot, i In the red-colored instant as the weapon roared in his wet hand Poietzki knew what had happened. For a fragment of eternity Cavanaugh stood stark still with the noise reverberating in his ears. He was looking with an expression of astonishment at Annette. He saw her face dimly as in a I fog. The eyes widened. Her lips moved but uttered no words. Very slowly

who are aiding re-employment.” in typical Johnson fashion be attacked the economic situation of America. “So far as one can see just riding through the country there is nothing much the matter with this land of ours," lie said, "until we get to the lords of creation—the vaunted human race, “if we saw a squirrel starving to death on the knot bole of his nut-filled hollow tree, we wouldn't believe it. And yet here are 125,006,000 people with graineries full and factories shut, but yet with millions of workers idle and hungry and shabby and afraid of the future . and of everything and everybody 1

her knees gave way and she sank gradually into a heap upon the floor. Then slowly she fell face forward. Cavanaugh’s first action was one of surprise, then relief. He did not 1 know exactly in that instant what had happened. He was aware only 1 that the woman had ceased tortur- ’ ing him. He stood still looking ’ down at her, wondering if she had ' fainted — and knowing, simultane- ' ously, that she had not. Gradually 1 he knew that a shot had been fired. His first thought was that she ’ had committed suicide. “Now —what does that get you?” ' he said aloud. Annette made no response. Cava--1 naugh bent over her, put a hand ’ on her shoulder and withdrew it ’ quickly. Through the open window a wisp ' of air drifted in smelling of burnt powder. He went to the divan and ' got a pillow. Kneeling, he turned Annette over and placed it under her head. Her dress was cut low in ' front and across the skin ran a narrow trickle like a strand of ' bright red ribbon. ' "Annette — wake up!” he said 1 persuasively. “Open your eyes! I’m going to call a doctor for you ” His eyes, steadily upon her cold and fixed face, told him she was not breathing. He got up to his feet and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. Somehow there had been a little blood on his fingers. He looked around on the floor for a revolver but ne such weapon was present. Other people, in other apartments, startled by the pistol shot, were rolling out of their beds, turning on lights, throwing up windows. “What’s happened?” someone was calling across the court. “There was a shot right under my window ” “I’m going to phone the police!" “There was a man on the fire escape! He climbed down and ran around the corner of the building!” Cavanaugh closed his window against this clamor and drew the curtain over it. It did not matter what those people were shouting. Some one—not himself—had shot and killed Annette. Who it was or why or how was beyond his immediate comprehension. It had all happened so swiftly that he was dazed and confused, but he was realizing it was a matter for the police. “I’ll be arrested for this," he said to himself, “and it’s going to be tough to explain." He looked down again at Annette. Her face was still vindictive, even in death. For a moment Cavanaugh was tempted to telephone Leni, but he gave up the thought. She would hear of it soon enough. Annette, in death, was now a far greater barrier between them than she had been in life. Oddly enough, Cavanaugh remembered a timber wolf he had once seen with its foot locked in the cruel teeth of a steel trap. The animal could not get away and he had shot it out of pity. He understood now how the wolf must have felt. Going into his bedroom he picked up the telephone and aroused the sleeping clerk at the desk. "Get me police headquarters." "Anything wrong, Mr. Cavanaugh?” "Get me headquarters, please!” His call was passed mechanically from operator to operator, from desk sergeant back to the telephone room at headquarters and finally plugged in on the private line that

about them. It just doesn’t make sense. It is too much like a dark ' huddle of jungle savages dying by swarms of Asiatic cholera because uobvdy ever told them to wash i their hands before eating. It is a i shocking thing.’’ Modifications of the blanket re- ’ employment agreement were authorized for two more big industries, restaurants aud laundries, pending action on permanent codes. Leaders of the restaurant trade estimated that 50,600 to 75,000 workers would b- added. They figured total payrolls would be increased by about 25 per cent, or ' $100,000,600 annually. 1 The restaurant code provides

» ; led to Detective Mulrooney’s home : in a quiet neighborhood street where it rang repeatedly until Mul- • rooney climbed out of bed and went downstairs to answer it. • “I’m giving you » break, Mult rooney,” said Cavanaugh grimly, t "A woman has just been shot and r killed in my apartment. You better • beat it over here as fast as you ; can. If you hurry you’ll be the first 1 one on the scene.” Mulrooney wasted no time askr ing questions, beyond an inquiry . asking Cavanaugh’s address. » Cavanaugh went back to the living room and sat down. Overcom- ’ ing all his feelings, he forced himself to touch Annette’s forehead. It ■ was beginning, definitely, to be I cold. t Tomorrow the whole thing would be in the newspapers. A woman had > been shot dead in his apartment in t the early morning. It was not sui--1 cide—it was murder. I The consequences began to reveal : themselves plainly. Very likely Leni i would be lost to him forever. i It was the kind of disgrace that ! would follow a man to his grave. Nine-tenths of his life was wrecked i right now. A man mixed up in a t thing like this could never explain ’ it away. It stamped him with a I mark that would be visible and ini delible forever. It was the end of Lucky’s luck, I Undoubtedly he would be ar- . rested. Perhaps he would go to t trial and conceivably he would be I convicted. He got up and began to look . around the room for a revolver. It was useless because no such weapon , was there. The telephone rang gently. It was the clerk on the switchboard downstairs speaking. “I heard your talk to that policeman, Mr. Cavanaugh. Did I understand you to say somebody had been killed ” “No, you misunderstood me,” Cavanaugh said abruptly and hung up. What had happened began to piece itself together in his mind. A shot had come from outside the room—very probably through the open window. People had been crying that they saw a man on the fire escape and heard him shoot. There was only one consolation in j the whole terrible business. Leni was no longer in jeopardy from i the half-mad jealousy of the other woman. There would be no more talk of vitriol. AU the same, he would have to face the probability that never again would Leni Luneska look upon him as before. Between them forever would be the dead body of a murdered woman —a symbol of infidelity. The facts would speak for themselves. In the future, Lucky Cavanaugh would be the kind of a man people avoided. . . . He bent forward in his chair, resting his face in his hands. Other men before him had stumbled into this darkness—the tragic legion of men who had lost their luck. He had seen them, furtive, shabby, drifting around the edges of their former triumphs. Luck was a thing of wealth, | youth, joy. When it left it took everything with it. He could picture himself haggard faced, unkempt, shunned, a creature of the back alleys and murky places. His whole life had been founded on luck. He opened his eyes and looked at Annette’s body. Her cold clay was the answer to everything.

The mine employs approximately 156 men. The first outbreak of violence occurred Monday when Sam White, operator of a gasoline station at Universal, was wflunded fatally by a mine guard. White, a former miner who had joined the picket ranks in sympathy with their cause, died in a Terre Haute hospital. The increased tenseness noted among the ranks of the 566 picketers at the mine today was attributed to the fact that White’s funeral, at which a large turn out of union miners is expbeted, is scheduled for this afternoon. John "Rip" Caveny, White's assailant, is being held at the Vermillion county jail at Newport. Last night picketers stopped an
