Wuex Big News Breaks Ip press associations could be forewarned as to where the BIG NEWS would break, covering these stories would be a comparatively simple matter. But BIG news has a habit of breaking in the most unexpected and out-of-the-way places. This means that press associations must have staffs of trained newspapermen stationed at strategic points all over the world. UNITED PRESS veterans —young in years, but old in experience—are at these focal points throughout the two hemispheres — waiting — watching for BIG stories. Thousands of miles of UNITED PRESS telegraph and telephone wires, cables and radio put them within a very few minutes of this newspaper office. WHEN BIG NEWS BREAKS readers of this newspaper are assured of an accurate and speedy account of the event through the facilities of the UNITED PRESS.

"HIGH SCHOOL TRAGEDY" MAXINE CANTY

CHAPTER X Julie Martin, at 17, becomes an “inside” observer of the police investigation of the murder of her former French teacher, the pretty Constance ("Connie”) Sinclair, who had been shot dead in her apartment by a party thus far unknown Julie is on the "inside” because after school hours she is office assistant to Principal Perkins and the latter has detailed her as stenographer for Police Inspector O’Brien, who is busy examining suspects and others. Among those questioned, or wanted for questioning. are Julio herself and her boy friend. Dicky Ward, who was with her when she returned a pen to "Connie" a few hours before the tragedy; Mrs. Sardoni, manager of the apartment house in which "Connie” was killed; Principal Perkins; Melvin Wright. the school’s “problem boy”; Hym, a Filipino janitor, who had been discharged for insolence to “Connie” and who was missing since her death; Bruce Lloyd, her former fiance, who refuses to say where he was on the murder night; and George Carrington, also reported to be a former suitor, who is now married. The latter seems to have a perfect alibi for the fatal night but he admits to the police that his wife has been missing since that evening. Julie’s father has become counsel for Lloyd The authorities are anxious to find Mrs. Carrington. Meanwhile Inspector O’Brien urges Julie to keep her eyes and ears open but her mouth shut tight. He appoints her his confidential assistant at the high school, laughingly calling himself "Sherlock Holmes" O’Brien and Julie, his "charming Miss Watson." Dicky Ward is jealous of the handsome Bruce Lloyd who is invited to the Martin home for dinner, immediately after which all present are stirred by thq news that Hym the Filipino has been found in San Francisco. The harmless looking little Oriental readily tells the police that he discovered Miss Sinclair dead when he called to ask her to use her influence so he could keep his job. He said he approached her door twice that night but did not try to enter because she had visitors. The third time, she did not answer his knock so he opened the unlocked door and fled the tragic scene in a panic of fear over being suspected. He was locked up pending further inquiries. Meanwhile Bruce Lloyd avoids arrest by agreeing to stay at the home of his counsel. Attorney Martin, who stuns his daughter, Julie, by. remarking to her mother that this nice young man” (as Mrs. Martin terms him) did ’phone Miss Sinclair the day before she was murdered. CHAPTER X Dad went on: “ Well, anyway, this nice young man certainly telephoned Miss Sinclair from Sacramento on October 19th. She must have been in class when the call came to the school that morning, for he did not reach her. What about that, Julie?” "No, they don’t call teachers out of class unless it is an emergency. They take the number, or the operator’s number if the call is long distance, and the teacher can telephone when she is free.” "Well, evidently Lloyd didn t want to wait, as he made the call from a pay station in a hotel. He »aid he would call again. But he did not.” "What was he doing in Sacramento?” wondered Mother. “We don’t know yet. Lloyd was questioned about it this afternoon. He admitted making the call, said he was driving through the town, but did not have time to stop there long.” "Why did he call her?" I wanted > know. “He evaded that, just saying that It was rather common for fiances to call their betrothed. O’Brien could get nothing more out of him on that, nor would he say what business he had in that part of the state He is an insurance man, you know, and he might have been there for any number of reasons.” "But he won’t talk to you either?” “No. He is the most difficult client I have ever had.”

“Well,” said Mother firmly, “I should just tell him that he would have to give me his full confidence or 1 would have to give up the case.” “Oh, Dad, you won't do that, will you?” I cried. Dad shook his head. "No.” he answered, "I won't do that. But your mother is right. I should take that stand. Ordinarily I would. But somehow I have faith in Bruce Lloyd. I believe that when he know,: me better or when the right time comes, he will tell me the whole truth.” I was terribly relieved. Os course I wanted the murderer brought to justice, but I was as positive that Bruce was innocent as I was that my own brother had no connection with the case. Little did I realize then what a sinister simile that was! “Furthermore,” continued Dad, “his next action was hardly that of a man who contemplates murdering a girl. He wired her flowers from Sacramento.” "What kind of flowers?” I asked. “Were they yellow roses?” "1 don’t know, Curly.” Dad was amused. • “You see,” I explained, “I saw some yellow roses on her table the afternoon Dicky and I were there.” The police had not checked up on the kind of flowers, it seemed, but later that proved to be rather important. We were still talking about Bruce when he came. After that, of course, we tried to make the conversation revolve about anything else. Mother was awfully sweet to him. Dad was casual and politically bent in his contributions. I told some stories about school that he found amusing. Then Allen came home. He did look awfully white and strained, I thought, and I realized Mother had a right to worry over him. His thinness and pallor and distress were made all the more emphatic because of Bruce’s size, tan, and general good health. In spite of the fact that Bruce was obviously worried, he did not have that desperate look Allen wore. Os the two, I must admit that my brother appeared the more grief-stricken. Bruce never did show much sorrow. I thought at the time, however, that it was rather natural for an innocent young man who suddenly finds himself suspected of murder to be concerned chiefly with his own problem, Allen did not stay long. We lighted the log fire in the fireplace and the four of us sat around drinking chocolate and eating some of Mother's scrumptious cake. It was all very cozy, homelike, intimate. Bruce seemed to relax under the spell and gradually emerge from his mask. I thought him the most charming person I had ever seen in my life. Mother and Dad were equally impressed, I think. I don’t believe any one of us had any emotion about hirn but that of affection and pity. He certainly won us completely After the warmth of the third cup of chocolate, Bruce brought up the subject of Connie himself. He then told us the story of his love affair with her the summer before. Bruce Lloyd did not tell us the whole story that night, indeed, he never told us all of it, naturally. But during the days he spent with us bits of it came out. His romance with Connie was the only part of the whole affair he was willing to talk about at all, and it seemed to give him some relief to discuss it. Os course, I was awfully interested. I felt that I was living right through it with him. I thought about it a lot as it was the nearest I had ever come to a real love story. In the end all the bits fitted together, that is up to October. After that things became less glamorous. This is the story as I reconstructed it: As Connie looked out of her bedroom window for the last time, out over the blue waters of Puget Sound, her stiff upper lip weakened, and a few tears escaped in spite of her determination. This house up in the hills was the only home she had known, the permanent rock to which her flying ship always came home, as it were. Life without it was going to be strange, unanchored. Os course, Seattle would always be there, her friends and family would

always be near, but ths lovely, month life of her girlhood was gone. “I’m being horribly sentimental," she thought to herself. “I’ve got to snap out of it. Hundreds of girls have taught school before, and hundreds more would envy me my good iob now. Most people would think Mother and Dad lucky to have salvaged a car and a beautifully furnished apartment from the wreck. Allans, old girl, let’s see if your French will stand up under the attack of American youth as well as it used to under that of the Parisian dressmakers.” Without looking back, she gathered up her bag and gloves and hastened down the broad stairs to where her father and the trunk expressman were waiting. “All ready, my dear?” "Quite." The baggageman took the last bag. She kissed her father, who hugged her understandingly, and they went out to the waiting taxi. The new apartment was pleasant and comfortable, out near the university. The Sinclairs felt that they had economized to the last rung of the social ladder; but many a university professor and his wife had looked st the same place with longing and envy. Connie did not remain there long, for in July Aunt Hannah wrote one of her famous letters. It began, “So you’ve lost your money,” and it ended with an invitation to Connie. Aunt Hannah was a true eccentric. Most eccentrics are either wealthy or poor, as the middle range cannot afford peculiarities. Aunt Hannah, fortunately, was rich. She had taken Connie to Europe on her first trip at sixteen and, so far as Aunt Hannah was concerned, the girl had never changed. Aunt Hannah was spending July at Deep Sea Lodge, a quiet place on the ocean near Del Monte in California. As Connie was coming to teach in California in August, it seemed suitable that she spend a few weeks with Aunt Hannah. Connie did not have any illusion about securing a good time out of the visit She knew from experience that Aunt Hannah was a difficult person and that Deep Sea Lodge was no doubt a very quiet place. She decided to go, however, to please her aunt, to enjoy the swimming, and to get away from Seattle for a while. It was there she met Bruce Lloyd. Bruce was from Philadelphia, an insurance man by vocation and a painter by avocation. He had the artist’s eye for line and color, and enough spiritual depth to see what might be the “inner soul" of things around him. But he could get on eanvas only the line and color. While studying in Paris three years before, he had realized this limitation. Instead of remaining there to become just one more bad artist, he returned home to become a good insurance man. In two years’ time ho was transferred to the coast, made his home in San Francisco, and painted during his leisure time. Deep Sea Lodge was not far from the artists' colony at Carmel where Bruce had made friends. He liked to be near them, but not too near when he was painting. The Lodge, therefore, suited his purpose admirably. It was a rambling, two-story hotel built in Spanish style. The rooms surrounded a large patio with a pool in the center. There were tables and chairs covered with gay umbrellas, Chinese servants silently bearing tinkling glasses, and the brilliant sunshine and flowers glowing everywhere. Bruce, who had known many beautiful spots in the world, loved this one. To him it spelled romance. So it was particularly fitting that it •was against this background that he first saw Connie. She looked that day like the sixteen that Aunt Hannah still considered her to be. She had been playing tennis and now was resting against a green wicker chaise longue by the pool. Her dress was white linen, rather short, sleeveless, backless. Her hair was blown into childish disarray, and her feet were still clad in tennis shoes. Curled up on the chair, she might even have been fourteen. Bruce’s first thought was. "That would be a good painting.” (To Be Continued) CoojrljM. 1113. King Fn>‘jfw SmdlrMt.
