Col. Robert MeCormlck, publisher of the Chicago Tribune died this morning at hta nearby Chicago farm home. Col. McCormick has been an aggressive and outspoken newspaper pnbliehar for a good many years. There are few In the nation who have agreed with him entirely, but to say he was always wrong would be false. He built a great reputation in Journalism by taking a stand and never giving an tech. Newspaper people and newspaper readers throughout the nation mourn his departure from the working press. —• —e— With spring close at hand, the housewife will have an increased number of callers sealing shrubbery for the yard, top soil, tree trimming services and numerous other home needs. Many of these itinerant salesmen are pure grafters. Everyone Should be cautious when buying heme needs from a stranger. If the salesman is working for a legitimate concern, be will not mind it you ask him to wait whUe you call the Chamber of Commerce to check on him and his firm. If the Chamber doesn't Vv a record of his activities, you should check with the police department and Inquire if he has a peddler’s license. If you take these few minutes to check you might save a good many dollars. If the man is gone when you go back to the the door, you will know the checking has been worth while. 0 0 Today, Citizens Telephone Co. of Decatur becomes owner of two additional telephone exchanges in northern Indiana.

red stock issue of GitisoM, forthcoming soon, will bo placed on the Indianapolis stock exchange and a daily ask and bid price will bo available. Acquisition of the two northern Indiana exchanges makes Citisens one of the larger independent companies in the state. The parent company here always has been a pioneer in giving patrons the most modern equipment and the best in service. The same policy will be adopted for the newly acquired properties. - o—-0 Almost every week local rest- * dents are recipients of letters from insurance concerns, with headquarters in far away cities, announcing new health and accident policies and urging everyone to take advantage of a groat savings by buying direct from the home office. All mail health and accident policies are not bad, but all are not good either. It is'our honest belief that insurance Is one of the items which should be bought locally and our experience has been that you get better results, if the need ever arises to use your policy, it you have bought from a reliable agent representing a reliable concern. A local agent takes the time to explain just what you are buying and what benefits you are paying for and will receive. We have heard recently of local people who have purchased low priced policies through the mail and , have been bitterly disappointed. We have not heard of this happening to anyone who has bought a policy from a local agent. Insurance is an item, which we all need and we can't be too careful "when purchasing it. There are many good health and accident insurance policies and every local insurance agent has a good company which he will recommend to you. If you pay a few pennies more for the policy, it may save you hundreds of dollars in cash and heartaches later on. Buy your insurance from local agents.

CHAPTER NINETEEN THE first part of the day was quiet but Busan’s brighter mood didn’t last. The shadows were still there. Since Regina had come downstairs the night before, after the scene in the bedroom when she had heard the truth about Jun Andrus, she had been different It was as though the had gone behind a transparent wall where nothing could really get at her. Outwardly she was more cheerful ft was only on the surface. She spoke confidently of Jim Andrus, was sure be would be cleared. Yet she was as determined as ever on the flight to Majorca, tor which Frederick already had the reservations. At 4, ehe gave it up and went tor a walk. Tift wind was high, the skies lowering. What did Re* gin* propose to do about Jim Andrus? she wondered. They had lost enough tune. Loving him aS Regina did, surely now they would marry at once. Perhaps Jim Andrus Would follow her to Majorca, perhaps they had arranged that last night. "Whoa . . . Where are you off 10 in such a hurry?” It was Dave Redgate, coming down the steps of a bouse near the Woods. She almost bumped into him. Dave looked thia, tired. They talked for a couple of minutes. Susan said, “You’re working too hard,” and Dave replied, •Needs must when the devil drives.” "That's a nice way to refer to your patients," she retorted, but Dave didn't emile. He knew that Regina was going to Majorca, and approved of it. "Amy says it’s all settled. It wiU do her good. But have you heard? 1 was talking to Parr a little while ago. Andrus is out of jail. Weil, I’ve got to rush.” He turned away abruptly, got into his car and drove off." Susan had suspected it for a long while, ehe was almost sure then that Dave loved Regina. Perhaps if he had asked Regina when they were both younger, before she met Trout—but Dave wasn't m a position to marry then, nor had marriage seemed to occur to him. He was completely wrapped up in his research work. It was before old Doctor Joe Wks stricken and Dave had to come home and take up his father’s practice that Regina married. Jim Andrus out'of jail. It was no surprise. He shouldn’t have been arrested in the first place. She switched her mind away from him, determinedly. She had done what she could earlier for Regina's sake. It was finished now that he was free. She needn’t bother about him any lonaer. - The Wind was knife edged. It cut through her coat. She walked on faster. Half an hour later she ended up in front of Edith and Frederick’s, started to cut down

under the trees, black against leadcolored clouds, and changed her mind. The little detective from New York, Mr. Todhunter, was crossing the terrace above. Susan followed him Into the house, going in byway of the music room door. Todhunter and Edith were tn the long living-room beyond the glass doors. One of the doors was halt open. Neither of them saw her. Todhunter was showing Edith a piece ot paper. He' said mildly and apologetically, "I'm afraid—eh —there Isn't any doubt, Mrs. Pelham. . . . The finger prints, you know ... You took the photograph of Mr. Andrus from the album in your sister-in-law’s house last Sunday and sent it to the Yonkers Messenger, didn't you ?” Edith stood glaring at him, her face an angry pink, her eyes protruding. "I—” she hesitated on the point of denial, thought better of it. She walked away a few feet and turned around to face her tormentor. “And if I did, what of it?” she demanded defiantly. "Was I to sit idly by and see the man who killed my nephew go scot free? It would be ruinous for Regina to marry him, out of pity, because she feels sorry for him. It would be a tragedy. She’d regret it the rest of her life. I was only thinking of her ... I know Andrus is out cd jail, Regina told me a little while ago—and 1 know what Susan Dwight did. It's my private opinion that Susan —” Susan walked into the room. She paused close to Edith, looking her in the eye. “Go on, Edith, my pet, don’t let me interupt What is your private opinion of mfe?” Edith was in a red rage. It had complete possession of her. “You!” she exclaimed in a choked voice. “You—helping that man get away from the police, hiding him in the barn ... Yes, I'll tell you what my opinion is gladly. You’re in love with that man, crazy for him. You—” Bhe broke off abruptly. The front door had opened and Regina and Jim Andrus had come in. They stood on the living-room threshold, side by side. Had they heard what Edith said? . . . Her straight glance was troubled. Andrus* face was inscrutable. No expression. Susan caught her own shaking fury in with a tight rein, waved a hand. "Hi, Regina. Hello, Mr. Andrus, good to see you. Edith and 1 were having a little argument.” She turned back to the other woman. "Would it Interest you to know how wrong’ you are, dear one ? Would it interest you to know that Barry and 1 are engaged?” A held moment. A movie still. The still dissolved into action, of the most ordinary kind. Edith foiled, looking stupid? foolish, and then frightened, because of the photograph. Regina didn’t know

about the photograph yet “Susan, I’m so glad.” She crossed to Susan, put an arm around her and kissed her. "We all love Barry, and it's time you settled down.” She turned to Andrus. “Isn’t it, Jun ?” Andrus smiled. "Can I add my congratulations?” I’mtyprry if—.” Her heart wasn’t in it She was too frightened. She glanced around. But the sword suspended over her head didn’t tall. The detective had strolled off and was examining a picture on the wall at the tar end of the room, his back turned. Regina couldn’t stay. She had only come in tor a moment to get another pile of the gift stockings she had been making; she had finished the ones she had—and would Edith and Frederick come to dinner that night? About 7? What she had really come tor of course was to show Edith and Frederick in her own quiet way that Andrus was to be accepted without cavilling or question. Edith was forced to swallow the noxious dose. She played with her bracelets. She didn’t know about dinner: it depended on what Frederick had on. Less than a minute later, Susan, Regina and Andrus * were outside the house and going down the hill. Susan walked gloomily behind the other two. She had got herself into a bad box with that spur of the moment assertion that she was engaged to Barry. She had no intention whatever of marrying him and it would be a mean trick to let him think she had. Or would it? Barry’s ego was strong and healthy and it would take a lot really to hurt him. He thought he was tn love with her now, just as five years ago he thought he was in love with Dell Howard and a couple of years before that with Regina. Compromise, let the Hill and her friends and relatives think she was engaged, and keep Barry away for the time being. She didn’t need to worry for a couple of days anyhow, Barry had said he wouldn’t be up that night, and he was going out to the Rankins On Long Island for the week-end. She was mistaken? When she got into the house Barry was there, and the cat was already out of the bag. Regina had both his hands. "Barry, we’re so pleased . ..” Barry was ridiculously happy. “Susan!” He advanced on hbr, ’ smiling radiantly, tike a small boy. He took her tn his arms. Andrus wouldn’t stay for dinner, although Susan gathered that he had intended to earlier. He left almost abruptly, saying he’d try to get over later if he could and started across tor the Wolf Hill inn, where he had taken the same room he had occupied a year and a half ago.
