The next- 'big dale to -gilhrd against reckless driving will be the Fourth of July when we hope to enjoy another long outing but it might be well to watch your driving In the meantime. 0 0 Drive around over Adams county and you will be enthusiastic about the claim of the garden spot of the world. It sure looks like a big year for crops hereabouts. ——o o—— Two Muncie men, Fay Williamson and a companion, evidently starting on a Memorial Day vacation, lost control of their car while driving through Jackson township in Wells county and wound up in the hospital at Hartford City. Their car was ruined and so was their vacation. fl 0i— — If you're worrying about plan- 7 ning a short one or two day vacation for Junior this summer, you can give him the thrill of a lifetime by taking that early morning Erie to Chicago. YOu can spend the day in the nation's second largest city and return home on the night Erie, and your total cost will be most moderate. The Erie, Decatur’s last railroad passenger outlet has some of the country's finest rolling stock and you’ll enjoy the jaunt a lot. 0 0 Our favorite sports broadcaster, Hityard Gates, Fort Wayne will be in Decatur Friday June 24 for the Youth day program in connection with the dedication of the Youth and Community Center. Just about everyone in Decatur has heard Hilyard in his football and basketball broadcasts and all of us will have the opportunity of seeing him. He will be master of ceremonies in the introduction of several Zollner Piston basketball players. 4— — .. 0 0 It seems like Fredrick Landis of Logansport has away of holding too many jobs and drawing too many salaries. He was paid for serving as a state senator for 1955 and now the question arises whether he can draw another salary as a member of the supreme court, a job he was recently appointed to by Governor Craig. The state auditor is seeking the advice of the attorney general in

order to keep his own skirts clean. 0 0 The Decatur Police Department, to help in Decatur's all out effort to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities, has received a new electric speed timing device to be used to check local streets for speeding violations. The device is being used now to ascertain the heaviest speed spots in Decatur and Chief James Borders said that no arrests will be made until the streets are posted. The system is being used by state police and has proved a great asset in Blowing down automobile traffic and avoiding traffic fatalities. , - 0 0 A two inch rain fell on northwestern Oklahoma last week, the first in an entire year, and every one is happy now although it came much too late to help wheat as it was too dry to plant last fall and too late, for spring wheat but the farmers got busy right away to work the moisture into the ground and plant grass and row, crops and are enthusiastic over the prospects for a very good one. It's wonderful a good shower will do even when it comes only once a year. ———o 0 Ernie Krugh, retired Decatur laborer, was found dead at his home on the afternoon of Memorial Day. For the past five years, Ernie had missed very few days calling at the Dally Democrat office for his home newspaper. He attended the Memorial Day ceremony on the Court House square and dined with relatives. Later that afternoon he returned to his home and a few hours afterwards his death was discovered by frienffo, Always a kind word for people, Erhie got his greatest enjoyment with his children and grandchlidren. and next to that all types of sports on his radio consumed much of his time. He could name every player on the professional basketball teams and he followed baseball and football ■on the radio during their seasons. His many friends up and down Main street will miss his timely counsel and comment as deeply as members of his family. We feel too that we have lost one of our best supporters and friends.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE HESTER did not speak to Enid of the contents of the letter about Gary until after she and Enid had finished their supper of which she ate scarcely anything. Enid washed their dishes, came back into the living room. Hester was holding the letter in her hand. “I heard from Anne Babbit today—from Salem." “Did you? That was nice.” Hester said: “I think you’ll be interested in what she wrote to me about tide Norbeck man here. A few weeks ago I happened to discover that he was from Salem or at least had connections, there. I asked Anne to make some inquiries about him while she was there. She did—and what she found out is here in the letter for you to read." "I don’t want to read it," said Ehid. “Enid! You’d know, then, what sort of a man he is!" “I do know." “He’s a fugitive from justice?” “I don’t believe that," Enid said. “That he was involved in a scandal with his brother’s wife?" “I knew there was what you would call a scandal!" “You can say it like that? Enid, have you no sense of what is decent, moral behavior ..." Enid said quietly: “I don’t think it was decent, or moral of you to write to Mrs. Babbit about him! Or for her to write anything back to you.” Hester got up from her chair. “It is important for me to know something about him. What I have learned gives me good ground for contesting that absurd will that brought me here. Though my real concern has been for you — that you might be letting yourself become involved with this man . . . Where are you going?” For Enid was walking toward the door. “To drive up for eggs,” she said, and went out of the room. • • • Wick had a bad day a few days later. Though it started pleasantly. He told Nettie at breakfast time of Jennie’s wanting the job of postmistress in the village. “That’d be nice, if she wants it,” Nettie said. Then—“ But up there on the farm, come winter . . .’’ “She might find a place here in the town.” "She could stay here,” said Nettie promptly. “Goodness knows there's enough room. She's good company—she don’t talk much but she's friendly.” Wick was inordinately pleased at Nettie’s suggestion, held for a moment a mental picture of long winter evenings and Jennie Tqdd in the living room, sharing his books. He tied just ordered more Trollopes from a second-hand shop in New York. She would enjoy those. “lt d moan more work for you, Net,” he reminded her. “She'd help—she's that kind,” said Nettie. Wick was pleased that Nettie and Jennie Todd had become friends. He knew that Jennie had called at the house with Cindy, and Nettie had liked Cindy, though she continued to speak of her as a child—" That poor child.” “I’Ve asked Jennie to go with me

to the Guild luncheon next Monday," said Nettie. “She spoke of wanting to join the church here and I thought it would be nice for her to meet some of the women. She seemed pleased." Wick was pleased, too. The survey of the farm had been finished and he had checked the drawings with Josh’s rough map. Jennie could have those fields she wanted, her stone walls . . . The citations were being published; in September he could go ahead with the probate without Thomas Todd’s signed waiver. Anyway, the man had forfeited his share of the farm by not occupying it—that Cindy was there did not establish his claim. His third would be divided between the two women. At midday he stopped at Mrs. Plebbys for some lunch. Stan Bellows from the bank had just finished his; he came to Wick’s table, sat down, hitching his chair close to Wick's. "You’re just the man I wanted to see, Middleton. I was planning to go up to your office.” He looked around to be certain no one was within hearing. ‘This is all off the record—l guess you i might say it was only a coincidence but it sticks in my mind and , may in yours.” "What?” asked Wick, though without much interest. “This morning, shortly after the > bank opened, Norbeck came in—the young fellow who's living up : on the Trevett farm. He wanted to deposit some money. There was nothing different about that except ’ that it was quite a bit more than ! most deposit at one time here in ■ Killbuck. Two thousand dollars. ; Cash.” 1 Wick was lifting a sandwich, to t his mouth. He put it down. "Good money?” “Yes — bills, all regular. He I seems a straight .sort. I wouldn’t have thought about it, perhaps, if • Mrs. Wilmer hadn’t come in an . hour later. He paused to smile. “She isn’t much like the one you ! brought in the back door that . day!” • “No, she isn't.” f “She’s stopped in several times. Guess she thinks old Josh had a ’ safe deposit box which we’re hid- ! ing in the cellar. She’s a persistent ’ one! Have an idea she's going to i the banks in Malone, same way.” Wick saw Mrs. Plebby’s eyes on him. He picked up his sandwich j again. “What’s the coincidence?" I "She has it that there is about . $2,000 of Trevett's savings not located anywhere as yet We’ve gone I into that, you and I. And today she i asked me if Gary Norbeck did any ■ banking with us. I said he was a I depositor. She knew enough hot to i ask me how much he had on deposit. Then she said: ‘I have substantial proof that he is an unscrupulous character.’ I didn’t ask her what her proof was or how she'd come by iL,It isn’t my business. But, maybe, Wick, it’s yours —he’s there on the farm." Bellows got up from his chair. “She implied that the burden of all this investigation was on her shoulders, which didn't sound exactly like a compliment to you!” “No, she keeps no bouquets to hand tb me!” ‘ , Stan Bellows left the table then, and Wick finished his sandwich j

and drank his coffee, but with no relish. Mrs. Wilmer would be dropping in on him any minute. And within a half-hour after he had returned to his office he heard her step on the stairs outside of his door. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Wilmer.” Hester Wilmer answered aa coolly as he had spoken. Though the August day was warm, she looked cool in a linen suit, gloved, hatted. Tm sorry to take any of your time, Mr. Middleton, but it will be only a few minutes.” “Sit down, Mrs. Wilmer.” She sat down in the chair he drew forward for her, very erect, her hands folded over her handbag. “I stopped in to speak to you of information I have concerning the Norbeck man who is living on part of the land up there.” “With the right to do so—he inherited that acre from your uncle.” Hester drew forward, smiling. “Yes, so the will was written! But from what 1 know of the young man now—you were indifferent to my suggestion that you find out more about him, so I took it upon myself to do so. He has a very bad record, was forced to leave Salem to escape a charge of having killed his grandfather by striking him down. It is plain that he found living with my uncle up on the farm a safe hiding place. And there is no doubt in my mind but that he Influenced my uncle to write that will.” W;ck swung forward in his chair. ’This information — from whom did you get it?" “A good friend of mine who lived in Salem before her marriage, and has been visiting there very recently." "The law, Mrs. Wilmer, doesn’t recognize evidence based on hearsay. A man isn’t condemned on gossip.” Hester Wilmer got up from her chair, her face white despite the two spots on her cheeks. "You refuse to take seriously what I am telling you? I see no alternative but to go to another lawyer.” “I thought you had one in Buffalo." “I shall go to one nearer at hand. Anticipating this with you, 1 have made inquiries of law firms in Malone—Granger and Cole have been recommended to me. And, Mr. Middleton, I intend to contest this will when it goes to probata And it is possible that I may bring charges against you for negligence in your duties as the executor of the estate. If ft is necessary for you to get my signature for anything, you can reach me through that law firm in Malone. Good afternoon, Mr. Middleton.* The doubt and suspicion which Wick had had at the (rime of old Josh’s death returned to aim. He remembered the look of sorrow that had come to Norbeck’s face when he went to the dying man’s bedside. It was after 3 o’clock; he had no appointments during the afternoon. Drive up and talk to Norbeck? He was in his car. and Well out of Killbuck before he started to ask himself what he was going to say when he got to the cabin.
