A rviaaatic legend has been dis pelled. Explorers returning from the Nabanni Valley, in the reraot est part of northwestern Canada deny the tale that this region was inhabited by a headless race. They did find headless skeletons, but their explanation is that as wild animals pawed over the bodies the skulls rolled away. It is not necessary to go as far as the Nabannl Valley to find people who have lost their heads Q Q Queen Wilhelmina of the Nether lands celebrated her Golden Jubl lee of reign by turning the govern inent over to her daughter. Juliana, who succeeded her mother as Queen. The women rulers of the Dutch empire, which embraces the Netherlands and East India terri tory. have away of keeping peace, although their rule in the latter country is under attack.

He was quite oblivioua of her regard. His right hand stroked his upper lip. Although Jeremy Cloade did not know It himself the gesture was a characteristic one and coincided with inner perturbation. Frances had not observed it very often. Once when Antony, their son, had been seriously ill as a child: once when waiting for a jury to consider their verdict; at the outbreak of war, waiting to hear the irrevocable words over the wireless: on the eve of Antony's departure after embarkation leave. ~ Frances thought a little while before she spoke. Their married life had been happy, but never intimate tn so far as the spoken word went She had respected Jeremy's reserves and he here. Even when the telegram had come announcing Antony’s death on active service, they had neither of them broken down. He bad opened ft. then he had looked up at her. She had said, "la it—?" He bad bowed his head, then crossed and put the telegram into her outstretched hand. They had stood there quite silently tor a while. Then Jeremy

bad said: "1 wish 1 could help you. my dear.” And she had answered. her voice steady, her tears unshed, conscious only of the terrible emptiness and aching: “It's just as bad for you.” He bad patted her shoulder: “Yes.” he said. ”T«s . . ."

He started. His coffee cup al- i most slipped from his hand. He I recovered himself, put It firmly < down on the tray. Then he looked I across at her. "What do you mean, Frances?” 1 "I'm asking you if anything Is i the matter?" "What should be the matter ?” , "It would be foolish to guess. I , would rather you told me." , She spoke without emotion in a businesslike way. He said unconvincingly: “There is nothing the matter. . . .” She did not answer. She merely waited inquiringly. His denial, it seemed, she put aside as negligible. He looked at her uncertainly. And just for a moment the Imperturbable mask of his grey face slipped, and she caught a glimpse of such turbulent agony that she almost exclaimed aloud. It was only for a moment but she didn't doubt what she had seen. She said quietly and unemotionally: "1 think you had better tell me. . . .” He sighed—a deep unhappy sigh. "You will have to know, of course,” he said, "sooner or later." And he added what was to her a very astonishing phrase. "I’m afraid you've made a bad bargain, Frances." She went right past an implication she did not understand to I attack hard facta i "What is it," ahc said, "money?" She did not know why she put money first There had been no I special signs of financial airin- , gency other than were natural to the timea They were abort-staged i at the office with more business > than they could cope with, but that was the same everywhere and . in the last month they had got t back some of their people released

from the Army. It might just aa easily have been illness that he was concealing—his color had been bad lately, and he had been overworked and overtired. But nevertheless Frances's instinct went towards money, and It seemed she was right. Her busband nodded. 1 see.” She was silent a moment, thinking. Bbe herself did not really care about money at all —but she knew that Jeremy was quite incapable of realising that. Money meant to him a four square world — stability — obUgations —a definite place and status tn life Money to her was a toy tossed into one's lap to play with, the had been born and bred tn aa atmosphere of financial instability.

Pair Os Laughing Killers Captured New Orleans Officer Killed By Two Men Baton Rouge. La. Sept. 7 (UPI Two laughing killers who bad killed a New Orleans detective and sworn they would never be taken alive meekly surrendered to a state trooper and a village marshal today In a country store near Baton Rouge. The two Dale Simpson. 26. and H E Miller. 23 killed a New Orleans detective and took the assistant chief id New Orleans detectives as a hostage in the weird est jail delivery in gulf coast history. Before they let the assistant chief of detectives. John Jackson. S 3. go. they announced to him that they "would take a few officers to hell with them." But a state trooper named Wright and the marshal of Gon sales 1-a. named Brourque. cap tured them early today In a country- general store at Glavez. a few miles southeast of Baton Rouge. Each of the men hail two pistols, according to ('apt. It M Walker of state police But they handed the guns over and were taken to the Ascension Parish prison at Donaldsonville Wright and Brmirque went to the general store to get them after a school bus driver reported he had seen the two fugitives. Walker said be believed the men were hungry and had gone to the store to buy or steal something to eat Just before Simpson and .Miller were captured, their automobile. a stolen police car. was found at Galvez.

ants away. They had had the bailiffs in the house for three weeks once when Frances was a child. She bad found the one in question very agreeable to play with and full of stories of his own little girL If one had no money one simply scrounged, or went abroad, or lived on one's friends and relations for a bit. Or somebody tided you over with a loan ... But looking across at her husband Frances realized that in the Cloade world you didn't do that kind of thing. You didn’t beg or borrow or live on other people. (And conversely you didn't expect them to beg or borrow or live off you!) Frances felt terribly sorry foe Jeremy and a little guilty about being so unperturbed herself. She took refuge in practicality. "Shall we have to sell up everything T Is the firm going smash?" Jeremy Cloade winced, and aha realized she had been too matter of fact. "My dear,” she said gently, "do tell me. I can’t go on guessing.” Cloade said stiffly, "Wo went through rather a bad crisis two yean ago. Young Williams, you remember, absconded. Wa had some difficulty getting straight again. Then there were certain complications arising out of ths position in the Far East after Singapore—" She interrupted him. "Never mind the wbys—they are ,so unimportant You were in a Jam. And you haven't been able , to snap out of ft." I He said, "I relied on Gordon, i Gordon would have put things straight” i She gave a quick impatient sigh. "Os course. I don't want to I blame the poor man—after all, tt'a

only human nature to lose your bead about a pretty woman. And why on earth shouldn't he marry again if he wanted toT But it was unfortunate his being killed in that air raid before he'd settled anything or made a proper will or adjusted his affairs. The truth Is that one never believes for a minute, no matter what danger you’re in. that you yourself are going to be killed. The bomb la always going to bit the other person'" “Apart from his loss, and I was very fond of Gordon—end proud at him too,” said Gordon Cloade a elder brother, “his death was a catastrophe tor me. It came at a moment—" He Mopped. “•hall ws be bankrupt?" Frances asked with intelligent interest. Jeremy Cloade looked at her ali moot despairingly. Though she did not realise it, he could have coped i much better with tears and alarm. , This cool detached practical mi terset defeated Mm utterly.
