With the 1913 election* over, the leaders of political parties will proceed to build fences for next year's election, which is the one that really counts. At least they know the w. ak spots and what caused the results and perhaps many of these can be strengthened. One thing is sure—the boys will work at it. —o laumt s of the Axis have been at a ratio of from six to one to ten to one tn every theater of the war and in some sector* even more. No country or any group of nations can long withstand that kind of defeat. There can be but one result victory for the Allies. The only question is how soon it can be accomplished completely. Mayor Baals of Fort Wayne is a candidate for the Republican n initiation for governor it appears quite certain. .Maurice Shelton, director of his campaign has boldly sent honorary membembip cards ot the Baals for-govemor dub to each member of the Republican state committee. From reports all of th- tn do it 4 feel honored. —o National chairman Spangler and Mr. Willkie are quite enthusiastic over the outlook for a 0. O. I’, victory next year.

The penalties ar* severe unless damages in excess ot 925 are met either by insurance or otherwise. If you haven't posted you reels on this law. it might be wise to do so now.

SYNOPSIS Hilda Glenn i* relating the weird beginning of a reign of terror that put H*venhur*t-on-Sound in headline*. Hilda, author of a hit radio serial, "Loye’a Wage*,” jus* returned to her old family summer home, Glennacre*. at Havenhurst, i* confronted with what she call* “the murder” of a red setter. Hilda end her neighbor*-Pete Everard, a male menace and would-be playwright; hi* wife. Nancy: and the latter’* former-flame. Jack Drummond, a prosecuting State's At tor-ney-were dining in the Everard home when stern old Conunodor* Knowlton called. He said hi* wife, “Aunt Flo." thought she “saw ■ ghost.” Hilda had known the crusty Commodore since childhood. Some blamed him for the accidental death of her parent* about ten year* before. He was Pete’s unci* and guardian. He carried a heavy, gold knobbed walking stick which he brandished during a caustic clash with Pct* over mention of th* drowning of hi* grandson, Henry Knowlton, 111, and hi* setter, “Red Rufus,” year* ago. Hilda assured sll that she did see a dying red setter that day. Suddenly a voice from without declares: “You can’t lay a ghost with a blow of your cane, Henry.” ... And the Commodore'* aged wife entered, seemingly in a dare. The Commodore wa* enraged when hi* wife urged that he produce Pete’s play, after Pete had clashed with Wing, the Everard*' Japanese houseboy. . . . The neat day, Mr*. Higgins, Hilda's housekeeper. say* "this place is haunted” and allege* "Hank” Knowlton had killed himself. Mr*. Higgins tell* of working for the Knowlton* and say* Mr*. K. I* “stark crazy.” .. . Pam Drury, star of "Love'* Wage*,” and Greg Mason, radio executive, arrived in the latter's new sport model. Pete, Nancy, and their children, Dot and Dickey, joined the other* at Glennacre*. Pam, Greg, Pete and Nancy motor about Havenhurst, looking for a house for Pam. At dinner that night Pete flirt* with Hilda’s sister Peggy. Next morning Higgin*give*notice: “too many unexpected guest*”; then he asks. “Is Mi** Drury just a busineie friend?” And add* the observation: “Don't you go pulling her chestnut* out of the fire I” Later, Hilda warn* Peggy against Pet* Everard. Pam recommend* Mr*. Josephine Power* to Hilda a* a housekeeper. Mr*. Power* say* she is willing to work a* such during the summer while her little Rosemary i* at camp. The radio star then disclose* that sbe-Pam-ha* a 10-year-old daughter, Henriette, which new* cause* quite a stir among the “Love’s Wages” cast. “Who’s Mr. Pam?" the gossips ask. CHAPTER HLEVEN At a eonferenee soon afterward*, Mr. Eiorden, whose order* come so fast they sixde. wa* quick and conclusive: “That Drury kid's none of Giitu-rwhiti-'s business. Th* youngster needs a lot of sunlight and no limelight. Keep your publicity hounds off that, Greg.” “Don’t worry," Greg said. “I’ve been a jump ahead of you on that." Ada Jackson laughed: “Poor Hilda! I’ll bet she was figuring on a front-page story featuring her •how. Too bad th* men folk are as het up over protecting the lovely Pamela.” Ada wa* trying for a vulnerable ■Pot. But I managed to be as eurt as Mr. Riorden when 1 answered. “Os course we don't want any publicity about Pam and her child. Pam is Dodi Marshall to over five.million fans and Dodi isn’t even engaged yet,” Mr. Riorden grinned. He invited me to dinner after the conference. 1 '* WM because he had decided I was amusing. I found It was because he thought I wa* fresh. And he wa* even fresher. “Want me to pretend I don’t know what you mean?" 1 asked after his second crack. “Are you sure you do?” “I’m twenty-eight plus. I know the facta of life and went dmcu«s them with yea.” »lim t * ,UBBir « • <**»«• “I’m not keen for demonstration “Finuh your salad.

ever, if you want to stay or. the air waves all evening, I’ll broadcast with you.” I laughed: “I can talk about one or two things beside, radio.” “Name your topic,” he said. “Oh, you or me or how nice it is to be friend* again.” “You've a talent for eool, detached friendship, haven’t you, Hilda?” “I'm practically the perfect pal.” “Yeah!” He didn’t sound to<> interested so we went back to talking shop. I newer made friends with little Henny. She was a strange child. At first glance she looked like a junior model of Pam. But .be wasn't Pam at all. No magic about her. She wa* brusque and awkward and shut inside herself and didn’t appear to be enthusiastic about anything but swimming. I’m not sure I'd have given her a second thought if it hadn’t been for her morbid dislike of Greg. Even Peggy noticed it 1 think it began one Sunday morning on th<- bunch when Greg said he’d seen Henny over in Portville early on Saturday a* he drove through on hl* way from New York. "That’s quite a trip for a little girl to take all by herself,” he admonished. “If your mother had been here I’m sure she wouldn't have allowed you to go way over to Portville.” “Mother’s never here,” Henny remarked darkly. “I was a guest on Ilka Chase*, program yesterday.” Pam sounded pleased with henelf rather than annoyed at Henny's comment or aware of the child's excursion. “You’ll probably baa guest on; any number of program* a* a result of the good account you gave of; yourself on Breakfatt at the Waldorf. But we can’t have Henny traipsing all over Connecticut while you’re away.” Aunt Carrie looked up from her beach chair and her knitting and smiled at me. I needed it. Gn-g had announced his intention* very clearly. “But I wasn't in Portville Saturday,” Henny said stubbornly. “Now, Henny!” Gr<-g admonished. “Don’t *ay that. I saw you buying chocolates at the candy ston a* I drove past And when I went back to *ay I’d drive you bona you’d run away.” * “I bad not. I wa* never there | And I don’t see why you tell m> mother I was." Henny had gone I from stubborn to sullen by now. Pam said: "Hush, Henny! Don’t be rude. I'm sure you weren't alone, since I've forbidden you to ride on the ous by yourself. I'm sure Toy* whs with you." “He wasn’t because I w»*n t there. I don’t *ee why Mr. Ma».n want* to make you angry at me, Mama. Please don't bo angry. Please don’t tot him stop you from i loving me. He’* lying!" “Henny 1 Tell Mr. Mason you didn't mean to say that. Ted him you're sorry. Apologize at once. Pam ordered. “I’m not sorry—" “Henny! Be quiet. First you diobey my orders. Then you are rud<t* my friends. I’ll have to you,” Pam said coldly. “You must go up to the cottage now. You can t have your *•irn today.” “Oh, Mm.ier, not that! I want to swim!” The child ran to Pam and flung herself down on the beach at her side, throwing her arms aroumi her mother’s gleaming copper Pam pushed her away. “Go to the house and stay there till you re ready to apologise to Mr. Masom Henny lay on the sand and sobbed “Well.
