Wacker Drive, Chicago, 111. It's time to buy bonds. O—O The winter drives are on in Europe Indicating there will be no let up either on the eastern or western fronts. Perhaps things will look brighter by Easter time. O—O Candidates and political organizations are now making their expenditure reports and cleaning up the campaign so as to be ready to get a good start in two years from DOW. O—O The Army won Its first football victory over Notre Dame Saturday since 1231. This Is the season's annual classic and Is always played In New York City. More than 80.000 attended this year's game. O—O In Indiana thirteen daily newspapers supported Mr. Roosevelt iu this year’s campaign while Mr. Dewey had forly-three back of him, including most of the large city newspapers. It's something to think about. —■ O O Hang on to the government bonds you now have and add to them. Get bond rich. They will prove the beat asset you have in the future. They are good. You can cash them If you nally need the money. You can’t have too many. -0 Many of the college foothc!! teams will close their 1944 season the next week or two and biwketball is now becoming the sport headliner. We manage to keep something going the year around and it’s wonderful that we can thus relax. o—o It may be several years before we can have *’a good flve-cent cigar’’ or all the cigaretes we clamor for. The big reserve pile ot tobaccos has been used up and the crop this year is 100,000.000 pounds short. It may cause a lot of smokers to revert to a pipe or discard the habit. —o Roger Babson predicts "revolutionary changes and wide market fluctuations'' the next few years. He says we won't get normal until 1248 and any thing can happen to business In the meantime. Ous guess Is that we will enjoy a great business era for the next decade. -0 The hunting season is on and thousands of Hoosiers are enjoying the sport. With it comes reports of accidental deaths and injuries that should tend to make every one who handles Are arms be most caretful.

the rules that provide safety and use them O—O Our congratulations to John Everett, who Sunday observed bls I nluety-flrst birthday. A veteran business man in this community many years, active in all affairs 1 that benefltted the public, a flne j (Airistlan gentleman, he has many friends who join us in wishing him I happy returns of the day. j —•— - — ■ Fifty million Christmas packages j are enroute to the men and women r in the armed service over seas. ’ They will be delivered by dog teams in the Arctic and by jeeps 1 and parachutes and planes and ! trucks In other parte of the world I to make the Gl Joes realize that r they are remembered and appreciated. O—O Captain William Jenner, now I'. 8. senator for the two-nionth abort term, has reported In Washingion , and says his greatest ambition is to be permitted to make a speech from the floor. He is quite an orator. Sentaor Willis may not get 1 much of a thrill out ot that for he ' may be thinking about what could happen to him two years from now. O—O— The more than three million popular vote plurality given President Roosevelt may be the smallest in some years but it’s certainly decisive enough, especially since it was distributed so as to give him a total of 432 electoral votes to 99 for Mr. Dewey. Most important is the fact that he has been given a substantial majority in congress and the senate. . Hltler may not be insane but the average person can't understand how he could be otherwise. He is described as a tnan of nervous temperment, who feels happy only Wbru winning. His losses since Stalingrad have been almoet continuous and though he has tried every thing known to modern warfare, doesn't succeed. Evidently he is being replaced by Himmler, bead of the Gestapo whose secret police organization is in control. O—O Louis Ludlow, veteran Indianapolis congressman and a Democrat, has Anally won out again, defeating his opponent Judge Stark by about 5.500. although it looked for a time that be bad loot A bard worker in the legislative halls, rather independent In bls voting, be has weathered the storms of politics through nine consecutive and turbulent campaigns. His victory is the greater because Democratic candidates for other offices in the same area lost by about 10.002. * O—O Adequate Are protection is about as important for a community as any thing the city administration must assume responsibility for. We have been fortunate in this city In not having many serious Ares. The recent one at the Central Soya plant was severe and could have been much worse if it had not been discovered so soon. If we need additional equipment let's get It. it we must do something about the water supply, let's do that. Delays may be more expensive than the cost of prevention. O -O--The city of New Castle. Indiana, has published a 21-page pamphlet that tells the story of tbe founding and growth of the city and her plans for tbe future On the cover Is this paragraph: "The story of a middle-western town which seeks not wider streets or more parks or greater wealth for tteelr own sake, bnt a place to live which shall be safe and peaceful and satisfying ’’ They have employed congultteg engineers and are now preparing a ten-year plan that will be vatehed wUn interest all over tbe country aa U develop*. — n ' ' i " 1 Hidbest mountain in the BrUUb lalaa la Ben Nevis tn bceUffd. altitude 4.2 W feet.

MILLIONS OF (Contlonsd lion, Fags 1) Naval air station were the centers of a sudden wave of extreme popularity. They buy their cigarets at service canteens where the supply is unlimited and several boasted they could go out "with any girl in town." . Memphis war plants and offices had been so disrupted by their workers scrambling for cigarets that retailers were persuaded to sell tbe limited supply only before and after business hours. In Chicago and other large cities chain stores were selling only at stipulated hours and lines half a block formed in front of them. The Chicago retail druggists association petitioned the OPA for cigaret rationing, contending it was the only way to distribute the* available supply fairly but Washington officials indicated that rationing was not being considered because it would ire difficult to administer. But OPA was moving against

SYNOPSIS Nurses Sarah Keate and Drue Cable arrive at the Brent mansion, located in a small New England town, in response to a call from Dr. Chivery, local medico. To Sarah's surprise, Anna Haub, the Brent maid, stares at Drue in frightened recognition and pleads with her not to remain. That, coupled with Drue's unusual anxiety about the condition of their patient, Craig Brent, was the first Indication Sarah had that her attractive young friend was acquainted with the Brents. Anna reluctantly takes them to Craig’s room. Sarah is telling the story CHAPTER TWO It was a large bedroom, dusky, so the big, canopied four-poster in the middle of it was outlined bulkily against the gray light from the windows along the opposite wall. There was a fireplace with a couch drawn up before it; and the massive shapes of too much and too heavy furniture. Then 1 saw Drue, and she was kneeling at the side of the bed with her head down. Anna gave a wavering little sound, a kind of angry moan. She went to a table and turned on the light in a lamp that stood there. Thea I could see more clearly; a man lay on the bed, looking very long under the white blanket cover, and Drue had her face on his hand which lay outside. Anna stepped toward the kneeling, slender figure and said softly, "Oh, you mustn't If his father finds you here.. Drue lifted her head. She had flung off her hat, so her light brown hair, brushed upward from her temples and breaking into short curls on the top of her small head, shone softly in the light and looked disheveled, like a child’s. Her face was very pale; she looked upward beseechingly at Anna and whispered, "Is he going to diet’’ no,” eried Anna. "No, please There was a moment of complete • ailenee, with only the fine rain whis-P'-n ng against ths windowpane*. Then Drue said, “No. I won’t let him die. I’m a nurse. I know what ' • Lt.. Her filler* were on hi* pulse. "Where to the chartT The doctor must have toft orders. Give them to me ..." Anna went baek to a table, and k Drue rose in a swift motion and followed her. 1 went closer to the bed and stood there looking down at my patient —Craig Brent. He was asleep. Obviously it was a drugged sleep. I didn't know, then, what was wrong, and 1 didn’t like the drawn look In his face, young and lean, with good bones, a rather stern, brown profile, and deeply hollowed eyes. I didn’t like his pulse either when I put my finger* lightly on hi* wrist. t Whatever this man, this house and the people in it meant to Drue, to me then, the msin thing was my patient. Drue and the maid had withdrawn with the ehart to a eur- > tataed deerway which seemed to toad to a dresslag room. I followed It »SS a small room, with window* , •tong Mt fide and cupboard* lining she other, at tbs other eM of ft (

was another door leading into a bathroom. Drue was reading the doctor’s orders intently, and Anna was close beside her, watching Drue’s face and knotting her fingers nervously in her apron. Drue was white, and the upward gleam of the light outlined the elean line of her chin and cheekbones, and cast a soft shadow around her eyes. She looked up directly at me with a poignant appeal in her eyes and her mouth. She thrust the tablet into my hands and said to Anna in a whisper that was as chilled and cold as the rain out-1

ride, "Anna, who shot him?" Well, that gave me a tea! and most unwelcome start; it was the first I’d known of that. They had said at the registry office (or rather, I remembered suddenly, Drue had said when she persuaded me to take the ease with her) that there’d been an accident. Not that it was a shooting accident. 1 don’t like shootings. I held the tablet in a hand suddenly gone stiff. Anna shook her head. “They said accident," she whispered. In fact, our whispers and the dreary day, the silence in the great, thjckwalled house and the rain against the windows gave the whole thing a kind of eeriness. Drue’s small hands caught Anna’s shoulders. "Anna, you must tell me. What happened?” ’’J don’t know, Miss Drue. I swear I don’t know. They found him in the garden, there by the hedge .. “In the garden? When?" “Last night. About eleven. They . carried him into the bouse and sent for the doctor.” 1 "But what did they say? How ( could there have been an accident?" "Tlw» said he »m cleaning a gun.’’ Anna’s eyes wavered and
