An hour in the Church of your choice tomorrow will make you feel like tackling next week's problems with a new optimism. It’s a good habit, this attending Church every Sunday. 0 0 We have a good start on the 195 S safety drive In Adams county. There have been no highway fatalities and there have been no serious auto mishaps. Let's keep up the good work and in a few weeks of careful driving, safety will become a habit ft 0 , Fort Wayne's Zoliner Piston basketball team is at the top of the heap in the western pro division, but the don't have too impressive a record.

The new water department committee from the City Council and Mayor Colo viaited the Decatur water plant this week. They were appraised of the serious water situation by Ralph Roop, superintendent The big problem is that on many days more water is used than can be pumped. It Isn’t a matter of presently drilling more wells, it is a problem of finding a new source of water. Os course there are several alternatives. such as going farther away from the city to drill or to harness the river supply, but the water question will become a serious one before too many years. It's well to be making plans now, rather than wait until we have a crisis. 0 q—_ Television is a great invention. News, entertainment and athletic events are brought to millions daily through home television sets, in many instances, however, the advertising value of television Is questionable. Some products show immense gains in sales as long as the manufacturer of the product sponsors a good show. Other products have not shown such sales Research has shown that the manufacturers who have stayed with newspaper advertising, which is much cheaper and which remains with a person as long as he keeps the newspaper, have profited in increased sales. Certainly television is here to stay, but how it will be sustained remains a problem. Each month many manufacturers are forced because of the immense cost to cut down their television advertising. As a result many television stations have operated in the red in the last year. It’s a problem! '

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT LOIS shook her head impatiently, trying to free herself of emotions and to force her reluctant mind to grapple with its problems. Reluctant? That was the chief difficulty, she acknowledged honestly to herself. She did not want ■ to know about Roger’s death. But she had to know. She could not evade her personal responsibility. It was clear that no one else intended to make any . effort to uncover the truth. Don’t stir things up, Dr. Thomas had warned her; Dr. Thomas who had risked his professional standing when he signed the death certificate, giving heart failure as the cause of death. AU right, Lois told herself angrily, stop hedging. Carol intends to marry Shandy, she made that clear this morning. And Shandy has stayed here all these years, in spite of the fact she jilted him, that she hurt him intolerably. And Joe Hattery is threatening Shandy. It was probably Shandy’s gun that fired that shot at Roger. Or at least he believes it is. ’ Lois began running, as though trying to escape from her thoughts. Within a few moments she became aware that her heart was racing, that she was out of breath and trembling from exhaustion. After all, she had got up from a hospital bed only a short time before. Better take care or she would have a relapse and her slender Reserve of money was exhausted. She turned back, walking slowly. Why had Jane Brindle got her here? For the first time it occurred to her that Jane herself, as a successful magazine contributor as well as Roger’s ex-wife, had undoubfedly been aske« to write the series that had been turned over to" her. Why had Jane passed the job on to someone else? Because Mignonne had talked of a ghostwriter who had a flair for people, for getting at the truth about them. Lois started as a tiny toad made .a long leap over her foot into the bushes. As she passed the Hattery cottage Joe came sauntering out to meet her. There was an ugly bruise on the side of his face and his jaw was swollen. "What’s going on at the Kibbeea?” he asked. “Saw Doc come rushing out here a while ago.’’ "Mr. Kibbee had a sort of nervous collapse. He is better now.’’ “Plenty going on here," Joe said. He fell into step beside Lois. "Went by the big house a while ago and heard Mrs. Brindle and Paula having it out at the top of their voices. Could have heard 'em clear down in the village.” He snickered. "Kind of late.Xo be jealous, It seems to m<s. Brindle's no good to either of them how." He gave Lota a side glance to see whether she appreciated the excruciating humor of this. She wanted to quicken her ’ pace and get rid of him but her legs were 9; trembling with weakness. Although there was no one in earshot, Joe j • spoke out of the side of his mouth. “Anyhow, Mrs. Brindle has got the wrong cat by the tail. Oh, may-

be Brindle led the kid on; she’s young and you can’t blame a man for trying. But she wasn’t the one.” "Joel? Ethel Hattery was behind them, the . pockmarks Uvid in her face, her mouth twisted, her eyes flaming. Why, Lois thought in a kind of shock, aware of the volcanic force of banked emotions, that woman is dangerous. Joe stood still, eyeing his wife warily. Obviously, he had not intended her to overhear his conversation with Lois. “Another word from you and I’U let you starve. I’ll never give you another cent so long as you live. Is that clear?” He shrugged, tried to laugh. All the essential weakness in his nature was apparent in his face and he was aware of it, humiliated, angry, impotent. He turned and flung off down the path. The two women looked after him. Then the rage died out Os Ethel’s face. She looked spent. "Everyone talks," she said, her voice 'colorless. “Everyone made claims on Roger. But don’t misunderstand. He wasn’t in love with Paula; sorry for her, maybe, because she was left alone as he had been and she was crazy about him. He wasn’t in love with Carol either; she was like a pretty kitten he stroked and gave a soft cushion by the fire. He wasn’t—in love with me. Not really. Once I thought he was, but he was—just sorry.” Ethel was humble in her pain, a hopeless suffering too straightforward for embarrassment. “He was tired of all of us, tired in his very bones. In my opinion, he loved only one woman in his life and that was his first wife. And it's my guess she’s the only human being who never made a claim on him. We all—wanted too much." She wheeled and went back to her cottage, a sloppy, white-faced woman, in whom even the angst had burned out. in Roger’s cottage Lois found a covered tray on the worktable. In spite of her anxiety over Albert, Bessie had not neglected to prepare lunch. When she had eaten it, Lois looked at Her pile of note* and then stumbled out on the terrace, dragged the deckchair into the shade of the big elm, sprawled out, and fell asleep. “Mrs. Fleming!” Lois straightened up. her teeth chattering. "What is it?” The flashlight tipped up, touching the “omely face of Clyde Kibbee. "Are you all right?" He sounded worried. \ "I must have fallen asleep. I’m half frozen, that’* aU." «' He held out his hand apd pulled her to her feet, so stiff that she could barely stand. “Comeinside" he urged her. He plugged in the heater, opened the closet door and brought a coat which he wrapped around her. “You are very thoughtful.” He looked concerned. "It's my fault. 1 should have looked out on the terrace for you before. I brought your dinner hours ago; when 1 ftouidn t tad you 1 thought

perhaps you were dining with Mr. Stowe. He’s gone too.” Lois’ teeth gradually stopped chattering, she huddled deeper in her coat, and then belatedly became aware of the inflection |n hi* voice. "Clyde! What’* wrong? Why are you here at this time of night? What do you mean—he’s gone too?” "It's Paula," he told her. “Mrs. Brindle called our cottage a half hour ago to find out whether Paula was with us. She’s gone." “Gone where?" Lois asked stupidly. “We don’t know. She didn't take anything with her, no money, no clothes, nothing. She just ran ' away.” "What time is it?” “Eleven-thirty."

“You’re sure she didn’t just go for a walk?" Lois asked. "She’s terrified of the dark," Clyde said. “She keeps a night light burning because she’s afraid to go to sleep in the dark. She must have been—" “Been what?" Lois asked. The boy's white face worried her. “Been more afraid of something else," he said bluntly. "If you’re all right I’m going to look for her. Mrs. Brindle said I could take her car.” "Perhaps," Lois suggested, "Shandy is back. He’a rather wonderful at finding people." She dialed 211 and rang three times. Almost at once Shandy’s voice answered. She told him quickly what had happened. “Clyde is taking Mrs. Brindle’s car." “I’ll try the woods," Shandy said. She spoke .impulsively. "Let me go with you. Shandy. If she is afraid of someone, maybe It will help if 1 am there." “Okay. I’ll be down for you as soon as 1 throw on some clothes." "Oh!" Lois said in surprise. “Had you gone to bed?” "Long ago,” he replied. "You get used to early hours in the country." She put down the phone. “Shandy and 1 will try the woods. Don’t wait, Clyde. I’m going to get on some warm slacks and a sweater. Two sweaters,” she added, shivering again as the coat slipped off her shoulders. “Paula would never go into the woods," Clyde said emphatically. "Never in this world. She’s a timid little thing. She doesn't even step off the path in the daylight if she can help it.” "Has she any friends i» Stoweville?" t "Mrs. Brindle is calling them."
