I Machine for polishing disk What secrets of the universe will be revealed to man when the new 200-inch telescope swings its huge “eye” in sweeping arcs across the h .vens? This is tlie question which has challenged the imagination of scientists the world over since the giant mirror-disk was taken from its oven at the Corning, N. Y., glass work.- and found to be technically perfect. This “cyclopean eye" will enable astronomers to penetrate the universe to a distance of 1,200.000,000 light years. Its strength is a million times that of the human eye. It will bring the

IftOKPOItkENCe Independence of thought, religion and speech form a cherished American tradition. This independence includes the printed word and is just as much an integral part of the national life as the democratic form of government. So American newspaper readers find themselves singularly fortunate in the operation of their press associations. The news gathered and distributed to them by these press associations is delivered minus the deft and colorful touch of the propagandist’s hand. Some newspaper readers in other parts of the world are less fortunate. Ihe news that they receive is distributed by press associations that are heavily subsidized, c. controlled directly, or censored by governmental agencies. The result news colored to fit the existing needs of the government. The world’s reading public should be able to demand two things of a press association FIRST That news should NOT be colored at its source by governmental influence or subsidy. SECOND:—That news should NOT be used to further any individual private interest political or financial. The UNITED PRESS fulfills bod) of these requirements and is printed in the Decatur Daily Democrat The Home Paoer—in a good town.

"HIGH SCHOOL TRAGEDY" by MAXINE CANTY — —

CHAPTER XIX All n.ght I tossed from one side to the other of my bed. I had read that expression many many times, and our English teacher had warned us how hackneyed it was so that we would avoid it in themes. But hackneyed or not. it was certainly true of me that night. 1 thought I should never sleep again I looked in the mirror anxiously the next morning to see if I were as white aad drawn as I should have been. Strangely enough, my cheeks were almost disgustingly rosy and. except that I looked slightly sleepy, there was nothing wrong with my eyes. Yet all day. as the night tftfore. I could think of nothing but Connie’s pen lying in Allen’s coat pocket. I was sure it was hers, for I would have known it anywhere, even if the monogram had not been so decisive. Where in the world could Allen have got it? As I thought back over the time which had elapsed since the murder, I could remember without much trouble, that Allen had been extraordinarily nervous and irritable I could remember his leaving the room many times when we were discussing the mystery. Mother always scolded Dad and me. saying that we knew how upset Allen was over it. Little did she dream just how upset he was or had a right to be! I could remember, too. how eagerly he listened to anything new Dad brought home or that appeared in the papers. It was only when the talk and speculation began that he left. He must have lived in an agony of fear of being found out. I wondered that, with his slight strength, he had stood it as long as he had. His outburst about Bruce looked to me like the beginning of the end. He was going to break and soon. I was sure. It was not that I believed my brother guilty of the murder. But that he must be concerned somehow was evident- It was the uncertaintv of hou that drove me distracted That and the problem of what 1 was to do about it. I knew my duty was to report it immediately, or at least to tall Dad. But 1 didn’t have the nerve I just couldn’t involve Allen in alt the questioning and probing that would go on I knew without thinking that the Inspector would consider him a possible suspect. Had he not said that if we found the pen we might also find the murderer I began to appreciate why innocent persons might not volunteer information in their possession. I worked that afternoon about the office as usual When a call came for me at 4:30, I was scared. I felt like a suspicious character myself! It was the Inspector. “Hello,” he said, “Miss Juhe?’ “Yes,” I managed, weakly. "If you aren’t busy for an hour, I would like to have you come down. I have some interesting testimony to be taken in shorthand." “I’ll be there in fifteen minutes, I promised. “O. K.”. and he hung up. I couldn’t think of anything even half-way near the truth in my confusion. So I just telephoned Mother I was going to the library. Then I entered the Inspector’s office by the roundabout route, trembling all over for fear I would see Allen there. , „ The Inspector was alone. He was , almost jovial. ..... . ■ Well, well, Miss Julie,” he greeted me. “I have some interesting news for you. You have helped at so many points with that clear little brain of yours and your photographic memory, that I thought I’d have you in on this." As he spoke he was leading me to the little closet where paper and pencils were already waiting. “Mrs. Carrington and her husband have arrived from San Diego. I don’t think her testimony will be any worse for the ears of seventeen than the evening papers are for the eyes of seventeen. So suppose you sit right here and take your accurate little notes." “Yes, sir." I sat down with a great sense of relief. Almost immediately the office door opened to give the woman entrance. Behind her was “George". I watched my mirror closely, forgetting all my anxiety in my curiosity. She was quite as Mrs. Sardoni had described her—tall, dark, handsome. Her eyes and hair were

Altogether she was a most stunning wonianHer husband was almost equally good-looking, taller than she. also darker in coloring, with a small mustache and an easy smile.

matter. She was exceedingly annoyed; perhaps she was nervous. One could not be 'sure about that, but at least her manner was cool and antagonistic when the Inspector began his questions. ‘•Now, Mrs. Carrington, as I have said to you before, we are sorry to have caused you the inconvenience of which you complain. But frankly, your husband’s and your tingle of this case is exceedingly important to us and must be investigated thoroughly ” He paused for any comment, but receiving none, continued, “Suppose you tell us first about your knowledge of and acquaintance with Miss Sinclair.” There was still no answer. "I mean.” he said more firmly, "for you to tell me when you first heard of her.” “I recall my husband's telling me of i:ie former engagement to her before we were married.” “I see. And what comment did he have to make on the engagement at that time?” “I do not recall that he made any beyond the one customary under the circumstances', that it had been adolescent romance and that he had no further interest in her whatsoever.” She did not look at her husband, but her whole tone was scornful, almost mocking. Carrington bit at his mustache and watched her. “And when did you come to the conclusion that this was not true?" “About six or seven weeks ago.” “Had your relation to your husband always been a happy one until then?” Carrington leaned forward slightly. seeming very interested. “It had appeared so.’’ “What do you mean by that?” “I mean that we had been married several years: that I took our

oils; Mrs. Ed Weißling, Findlay, Ohio; Fred Fullenkamp, Decatur, and Herbert Fullenkamp. Chicago. I Adding 33 grand children and 27 i great grandchildren to tho iatnily ; makes a total of 68. She was married to Jacob Fullenkamp on October 18. 1870. Ho died November 4, 1900. ———o— ———— Prayer Sorvicea In Jail Mani Ik woo.

I happiness, as you call it, for granted. There had never been any reason to question it." “Your husband is not • philanderer then?" “I cannot say, Inspector O’Brien. 1 was never a suspicious wife, and I never had earliei cause to ponder that question."’ It was the Inspector who bit his lip then; Carrington flushed a little. “How did you discover his renewed—er—friendship with Miss Constance Sinclair?” “He told me of meeting her in San Francisco and suggested that I invite her down to our nome for a weekend.”

“Which you didn’t do?” “No." “Why?” “It was not convenient just then.” “And later?” George broke in with, “Really, Inspector, I don’t see—” O’Brien snapped. “You are not supposed to!” Mrs. Carrington did not glance at him. “And later. Mrs. Carrington?” “I had no wish to invite her.” “Why?” “Because in the meantime, my husband had been absent from home several evenings and three entire Sundays, returning at about midnight each time, and offering no explanation.” “You demanded one?” “Not at first. It was not my habit to question him.” “But you did later?” “Yes.” “What was his explanation?” “That he was going to St. Joseph to see Miss Sinclair, an old friend who seemed to be lonely.” “And your reaction to this?” She shrugged her shoulders slightly. “The usual one, I suppose. I lost my temper.” “You quarrelled. When was this ?” “About the middle of October.” “I see. Now then, did you eve* see Miss Sinclair?” Os course, she must have read the papers and must have known that Mrs. Sardoni had seen her call on Connie. So I didn’t give her so much credit for telling thp truth. “Yes. I came to St. Joseph to see her.” “When was this?” “About a week before she was killed.” “Will you tell me how you happened to do this, and all about the encounter?” (To Be Continued) ISSj.
