Local attorneys and tax consultants are having some busy days preparing state and federal tax returns for many Adams county citteens. It you have to prepare a complicated tax return, It might save you a good many dollars U you spend a few and secure the assistance of one of these experts. ——o 0 Have you obtained your 1666 auto license plate? If a few people would get their plates each day, there wouldn't be that last minute confusion along toward the end of February. Remember, you must have your current tax receipt or a stamped and signed statement from the county treasurer that no taxes are owing. 0 0 If you attended Church yesterday, you probably found today more worthwhile. If you make it a habit to attend Church every Sunday, you’ll find that your days all will be easier. It’s a great way to prepare yourself fes the trials and worries of the new week. If you failed to attend last Sunday, try it next Sunday. - . o Several days ago this column criticised the second class mail delivery. The paragraph had no reference to rural route delivery in the county. That second class segyice always has been excellent. However, many complaints are received by the Dally Demo- . crat from subscribers who live some distance from,here. It is this service which we believe is entitled to criticism and improvement. ——o o Several Decatur merchants and business section employes again gre taking advantage of the parking meter situation. They know about how ipng it .takes for .the. parking meter officer to make the rounds and they permit their cars to remain in valuable parking spaces without inserting coins in the meters. The loss to the city from revenue is large but the big damage is that if area shoppers don’t find convenient places to ; park, they are likely to drive to a neighboring city to shop. Maybe if local people were compelled to pay twice the usual fine, the habit could be broken up.

Perhaps incarceration will boa greater punishment Io her than a speedy trial which could result in her death.

Great strides have been made in the last year to stamp out dreaded polio. Complete success depends on the amount of money that you and I and all of us give to this worthy cause. This Is one of the few requests for small contributions which the Daily Democrat endorses wholeheartedly. We hope that you give all that you feel you can afford. You may be to you. - - With the holiday season over and the racket of unscrupulous persons seeking contributions to questionable charitable organisations fading out tor another year, housewives are warned to be on the alert for house to house peddlers of all sorts. Many of these peddlers Will sell you inferior merchandise ti high prices and Others won’t even bother to deliver yen anything for your money. Remember, good solicitors won’t rated if you take the time to call the Chamber of Commerce oy police station and inquire if your caller has a peddler’s license. —o Tree “Tabby’’ Andrews, subdistrict superintendent here tor the state hlghwaf department has forwarded his proposed 1966 road Improvement program for Adams, Wells, and parts of Blackford, Grant and Huntington counties to the state, highway commission. Mr. Andrews has done an excellent job of getting better roads for air of his counties and ho is not backward in his request for additional Improvements.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE LOIS saw a light moving along ; the ground and was waiting at toe door when Shandy came up, a big < lantern m his hand. , “Heavens, what a beacon!** she ; exclaimed. “You must have robbed a lighthouse." ’* -! "Never send a boy to do a man’s : work. What happened, do you I know?" "Only what I told you over toe 1 phone." "Something must have set her i off." " _ * Lois thought of Joe smirking through his swollen face, while he told her of toe quarrel he had overheard between Paula and Carol. “Which way are you going?" she asked. “Clyde will take the roads and he's so much in love with her that he won’t miss a trick there. How long has she been gone?** "Apparently no one has seen her since she went up to her room about nine-thirty." \"Two hours." Shandy stood with his head a little on one side while he considered. For the first time he resembled toe Shandy of seven years before. "We’ll take toe path back of your cottage,” he said. He walked ahead and Lois followed, her eyes on the broad path which his lantern made almost as bright as day. There were lights in toe Battery cottage and he knocked on the door. Joe, in flamboyant pajamas, opened it. “You looking for her? Both Clyde and Mrs. Brindle called here but we haven't seen her." There was malice in his ineffectual face. “Nor heard her since she had that flaming row with Mrs. Brindle earlier today." He stole a look at Shandy to see how he took this. ; "Better get some clothes on," Shandy said shortly, "and search the woods to the left. Mrs. Fleming and I will bear right. Clyde’s combing toe roads." .. “I wonder why Mrs. Brindle doesn’t want to call toe state police," "We’ll call toe police if we don’t find her in toe next hour," Shandy said. "We," Joe echoed. It didn’t seem possible that a one-syllable word could be packed with so much innuendo. Prowling, Lois’ foot caught on a vine and she stumbled. Ahead of her Shandy stopped. As he turned, the light fell on her face. "You look like toe wrath of , God,” he told her bluntly. "I must aave been crazy to Mt you come. I’m going to take you back to toe cottage and go on alone." “Nonsense, I’m perfectly all right,” she retorted, ashamed. “Anyhow, we mustn’t waste time. That child is out in toe dark somewhere and she’s afraid of it,” 2 Shandy was callous to Paula’s terrors. "She brought ft on tierself. Tearing off into the night like the heroine of a Gothic novel and expecting us all to go hunting for her. Do her good to .gfrt a first-rate seart” ■ - ■ ... ■ —---•—

"She’s only aeventrnn," Lois pointed out. “I don’t know whether it’s ever occurred to you that neurotic teenagers provide toe bulk of our young criminals." He added thoughtfully, “A girt like Paula has a lot of sentimentality fermenting in her but she is practically without moral scruples.” “Don’t let Clyde hear you say that He’s infatuated with her." "He could be infatuated with her and still know what she’s like," Shandy commented. He laughed shortly. "You can admire a woman’s virtues but you don't lose your head over them. At least,” he added, “it isn’t usual." They had gone on some distance before he said, “At least, one gets over It That’s the saving grace. Like recuperating from a fever." He reached for her hand and his own was warm and reassuring. He noticed her labored breathing. "I’m an inconsiderate brute, dragging you along at top speed. Why didn’t you tell me?" He walked more slowly now, sweeping the light from side to side, his hand holding hers, guiding her over toe rough path. ”1 agree with Clyde," Lois said suddenly. "Paula would never, never have come through these woods in the dark. And, anyhow, what made her run away? Who is she afraid of, Shandy? When shefr handed that gun to Mrs. Brihdle—" _ "What gurf?" He was startled. •Td forgotten that you didn't know." Lois told him about Paula’s explosive appearance, brandishing toe gun and thrusting it at Carol. “What kind of gun, do you taow?* ~ Lois tried to describe it “Where did Paula get It?" “She didn’t say." “And she thought it was Carol’s." Shandy said nothing more. He was absorbed, withdrawn, as though he were readjusting some theory he had already worked out. "Shandy,” she began. "Shh!” He was standing still, listening. She heard it then, someone crying aloud. He moved toe light to the right, to the left, held it there. Paula lay erumpled on the ground, crying loud and unrestrained like a baby. As the light touched her, she tried to burrow her head into toe ground. Lois ran forward. “Paula! It’s Lois Fleming. You’re all right. You’re safe. Don’t be afraid.” She knelt beside toe girl whose tears caught in her throat Paula lifted a face puffy from crying, the pale eyes red-rimmed, the lids inflamed. But she did not attempt to move. "I’ve broken my leg," she They saw then toe improbable angle at which her right leg vu twisted. Shandy bent over her. “Til run back to the house and get a folding cot." be said quickly. "Joe can help me carry her back. That’s about toe best we can do." He felt in his pocket and pulled out a flask. “1 thought we might need this.” He handed it<to Lois, who

propped toe girl’s head on her arm and made her take a couple of swallows of the brandy. “You keep toe lantern.” “But how will you manage?** Lois protested. “I have a flashlight TH make it as soon as possible." As he started away, Lois called, "Ask Mft. Brindle to call the doctor.” I He nodded, gave her a worried look and then went quickly, almost running, back along the path they had taken. “Lois crouched beside Paula. “We’ll get you there just as soon > as possible and the doctor will set your leg,” “And then I can’t get away at all," Paula whimpered. There was mounting hysteria in her voice and Lois said sharply, “Stop that! I know it must hurt horribly but i you won’t help—" "I don't want to go back to the house!” Paula clung feverishly to Lois’ hand. “I don't want to." “No one will hurt you," Lois i said impatiently. “You don't know. Carol hates me because of Roger. She tried , to kill us both not two weeks ago. I'd gone to his cottage to see him [ and she ehot at me through the , window. I’m afraid." i “Carol. Oh, surely not.** There was flat disbelief in Lois’ voice. Paula’s forehead was beaded with perspiration from pain and , Lois wiped her face gently and gave net another drink of brandy and still another. /' - “I know It was Carol. It had i to be." - “Did you see her?" "The window was dark. We i couldn’t see anyone. Only Roger thought it was Carol or he wouldn’t have looked so queer; he wouldn’t have made me promise not to say a word. He sealed over i the hole. He looked so awful, so ; unhappy. It must have been CaroL . And anyhow, no one else would . care if Roger and I—and anyhow ■ he was just—fatherly.” Paula’s voice broke and she began to cry again. "He—he—p-patted me on . toe head as if 1 was a baby,” she . wailed. *7 told him'how much I > Ibved him and then someone shot I right through the window at me. i And it must have been CaroL And . I wanted her to know I knew it. ; That’s why I brought her toe gun ’ when I found it” “Where did you find it?" Loin i asked. “On Roger’s terrace. It was under toe big elm tree, just covered ! over with earth!" 1 Shandy’s gun, Lois thought feel- ; Ing sick, and Shandy had a key to ’ the gate in the fence. But it had not been Shandy on toe terrace tke night before, who had made ; his way bo stealthily, so surely, ' through toe dark room.
