Slick, this afternoon, ruled in United 1 States district court here that he no longer holds jurisdiction to try liquor vases which arose prior to 1 repeal of national prohibition. This decision was made incident A with the motion of Bert White, Grant county sheriff, filed recently asking for dismissal of a liquor con-1 case against him. He con-! j tended that repeal was accomplished without any saving cause pro- . * viding for prosecution of liquor ( • cases arising under the 18th , amendment. j. Judge Slick's ruling today auto- J math-ally ends some 50 liquor casee pending here, including those of 5 thT so-called Marion liquor vonspir- , " acy cases which involved Jack Edwards, Marion mayor, and other Marion officials.

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO She was too young, too inexperienced, properly to present her case, too afraid that he would force her into a position which she would be unable to defend. She only looked at him from bitter, resentful eyes. “The difficulty is, Patricia,” said Haverholt, and sat down facing her, “the difficulty is that you’ve been trying to keep me for your ace in the hole.” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Don’t play innocent. It’s tiresome. You know very well that you would like my unswerving devotion until you decide which way Clark is going to jump. You can’t have it, my dear. I*ll be no woman’s consolation prize.” She was engulfed by a wave of despair; there had been defeat and unhappiness behind her; there was defeat and unhappiness ahead. This was the end of adventure. This was where recklessness led. She had known Haverholt’s temperament from the first. She had deliberately chosen association with him. There was no going back now. If she walked from the house, where could she go, what could she do? She hated Julian Haverholt. The fact remained that she was his product. Without him she was helpless. She had made herself a name, his name. She had friends and associations in the city, his friends and his associations. Haverholt had promised to lift her to the heights. He had fulfilled his promise. He had made her a success and in so doing he had bound her to him with hoops of steel. She was like a creature, trapped and chained, unable to escape. She had chosen the way of deception and deception had become her master. “Very well, Julian,” said Patricia Haverholt, “we won’t discuss it any more or ever again.” She let him forgive her. The days went by. Patricia adjusted herself. She learned to view Julian Haverholt as philosophically as he viewed himself. She felt again his old charm, his old magnetism. Sometimes she wished that she might fall violently, desperately, uncritically in love with him. She was convinced, as so many other women had been convinced about Julian Haverholt, that if she loved him she could hold him. Anything she thought would be better than the emptiness, the frustration of her present life. She had recovered from her wounded vanity She could not recover from her wounded heart. She had declared that she wished never to see Clark again. With all her mind she could say that he belonged to Marthe. With all her soul she felt that he belonged to her. Then, one afternoon a week later, she saw him. She had dropped into a smart restaurant, on her way uptown to meet Julian for an sifternoon of cards. She gave her order, looked calmly about, nodding to acquaintances here and there from her vantage point in the center of the lunehing crowd The head waiter had placed her there for two reasons, because she was Julian Haverholt’s niece, and because she was the loveliest person in the room. “Patricia," called a delighted voice from a table behind her. ‘May I join you?”

SANTA ( LAUS POSTMASTER GETS CHRISTMAS MAIL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ♦ ♦ old. wrote from Massachusetts. "All 1 want this year is a gun. a drum, an electric train, a wagon, an orange and a cowboy suit.” He finished by saying "from your Pal." The word Pal was underlin ed three times. Martin said that nearly all the poor children ask for presents for
It was Clark. He was alone too. Patricia nodded acquiescence, experienced a deliciously guilty flut- ' ter, as he moved toward her and dropped into the chair opposite. He I studied her with open admiration. “Your trip has done you worlds j of good,” he murmured contented- , ly. “You look marvelous. When did ; you get in—thia morning?” “My trip,” echoed Patricia, bewildered. “Julian said you had run down to Washington to see the cherry blossoms. A lovely sight, aren’t ’ they?” 1 “Very lovely," agreed Patricia dryly, wishing that Julian Haver- ’ holt would walk in the door this mfnute. She investigated the matter further. “When did he let you , know I had gone?” “I telephoned twice; first time, I guess, last Tuesday,” after the races. I thought you might like to go dancing with Phi] and Marthe and me. “I would have liked it very much,” Patricia remarked, reflecting that she had retired that particular evening at nine-thirty. It was all very well for her to tell Haverholt that she did not want to see Clark again. She neither needed nor desired such enthusiastic cooperation from him. Just wait until she saw him! Patricia lifted her eyes to Clark. “I should like to go with you some other time," she announced deliberately. “And I expect to stay in town now for months.” “It’s a date then. Let’s see ” he began and paused, struck. His face lighted with enthusiasm. “Why don’t you come down to my place in the country for the week-end?” “I'd. love it,” said Patricia promptly. “I’ll drive by Saturday afternoon and pick you up,” said Clark, planning with his usual swift enthusiasm. He hesitated, said uncertainly, “How about Julian?” Patricia had.an odd, yet definite feeling that Clark had not intended to include the bridge expert in his party She said nothing She could not help Clark over the awkwardness. If she went to the country it was almost certain that Haverholt would go too. Otherwise he was capable of discovering some bridge game in town to which her presence was essential. “Os course Julian will come too,” said Clark, natural now, quite matter of fact “I suppose he will. It’s difficult for me to get away without him.” “He keeps you working awfully hard, doesn’t he?” Patricia stiffened slightly. She might criticize Haverholt herself. No others, not even Clark, had the right. “Not at all," she said calmly. “My life is heaven compared to what it was before I came to New York. Julian has given me everything, clothes, cars, everything. You see,” she ended in a low voice, “I was poor, I had no money at all, none.” “You’re a sweet, honest youngster to tell me,” he said, touched at ber confidence. To his surprise she looked quite distressed. “But I’m not,” she said quickly, emestly, “I’m not honest at all. You—you are just mistaken about me.” He laughed at her.

Mr. Roosevelt's labor board order was expected to play a decisive part in the board's conduct of two notable cases in which Industrial concerns had maintained the board was over-stepping its rights. These esses are those of the Weirton cteel company and the Budd Manufacturing company, both of which have been resisting the board's efforts to hold employes’
>. “After all," said Julian Haver- - holt mildly, "after all you did tell - me that you didn’t want to see d Clark Tracy again. I took you at e your word. I was only helping you i. along, or so I thought. You did s say that, didn’t you?” “Yes, I did,” Patricia conceded J in exasperation. “Sometimes,” she continued irritably, “I believe yon - would try to convince me that black is white. You know yon are wrong; s you know you shouldn’t have told f him 1 was out of town; you just t won't admit iL” She looked at him angrily, said, “1 have a right to i change my own ( mind, haven’t I?” “a perfect right,” he agreed s equably. “I gather then that you - have. You plan to go to the house ) party?” “I most certainly do.” 1 “It’s your funeral, my dear," he . conceded ironically, “I’ll gladly go ) along and assist with the obsequies. 1 But, I do wish I could pound sense into your head. You are making a ' mistake, a bad one.” “Thank you for your solicitude,” • said Patricia evenly, “I'll take care t of my own mistakes and my own I phone calls, hereafte r—if you i please.” He shrugged. They were in the • lobby of. the Cavender Club. Two ; impatient bridge players were waiting for them upstairs. The sun- . shiney, spring-like day had emptied i the lobby. However, as they strollI ed up the stairs and turned toward ’ the card rooms they beard the familiar babble of bids, the scrape of ' chairs, the fall of cards. Bridge i was proceeding as usual. “Have you and Clark quarreled?” : asked Patricia, pausing in the hall- ’ way, looking sharply at Julian. “Not that I know of. Why! What did he say!” “Nothing particularly, it was just an impression I had. You can’t think of anything then?” “I can think of a thousand things," said Julian promptly “Clark doesn’t really approve of me, never has. 1 probably did something or said something that jarred on his nice sensibilities. Clark is a very proper, an eminently straightlaced young man. Haven’t you made that discovery yet?” “He said I was awfully honest,” : admitted Patricia in a shamed voice. “He said that was what he liked about me.” “You’re getting in deep, Miss Haverholt,” said Julian and cocked a knowing, triumphant eyebrow ; “You’ll get in deeper, see if you don’t.” They went inside to play bridge. • • • On Saturday morning Patricia dressed for the houseparty. After endless consultation between herself and Annie, the two of them packed a smart patent leather bag i with the smartest, most becoming clothes in all New York- -or so Patricia thought Anyhow, she need not worry about elotbes. She aat down to wait. It had been decided that Clark was to drive her to Long Island Julian was to make the trip that night by train. He had deliberately absented himself from the house i this morning. The girl rejoiced at bis absence. She thought rebellious ly that it was none of his business if she chose to see Clark Tracy once in a while. She was quite able to take care of herself.
