Continental, Ohio, authorities called it justifiable homicide when a husband came home late from a tavern and, with a butcher knife, demanded his wife give him money to return. She used a shot gun. It seems a little drastic. —o—-o Republicans generally bill themselves as friends of business. Stock brokers and investors frequently take a more realistic approach to economic prospects than voters. Since Eisenhower was re-elected on November 6, the Dow Jones average of selected industrial stocks has dropped from *495.37 to *470.07, last Tuesday, a decline of $25.30. It will be interesting to learn whether the voters or the brokers turn out to be better appraisers of the future. o— —o One of the reasons Decatur is a great town is the interest our leaders give to the development of our youth. The award of the Silver Beaver to Herman H. Krueckeberg for outstanding work among the Boy Scouts in Northeastern Indiana was welt deserved. The Anthony Wayne Area council has, since 1932, given three similar awards to Decatur men, Carl Pumphrey, Sylvester Everhart and Lowell Smith. Presented in front of a crowd of two thousand Scout leaders and parents, the award makes a nice momenta of more than 10 years hard work in each case. However, the real payment for this leadership must be the satisfaction of seeing our boys grow up into better citizens.

It’s always good advice to attend your church Sunday. , ——o——o With the prospects of a fuel shortage, the English are not praying for a White Christmas. o o— The City of Decatur has taken a long step forward in strengthening its relationship with local industry by the signing of a contract to purchase part of the electrical power and the guarantee of stand-by service from the Indiana and Michigan Power company. In signing this agreement the city has not given away its franchise to manufacture and distribute power nor will the step necessarily be permanent. "Die future will dictate the wisest course to follow. In the meantime, local industry can be assured adequate and constant power, the lack of which has cost it several thousands of dollars in the past. New industry, which has shunned Decatur since World War 11, will now consider our community. The rates were the best that could bp negotiated with the private utility and should return the city more net profit than tinder the system now in use. The retention of both the diesel and steam power generating equipment will give Decatur the ability to manufacture its own power in the case of a national emergency. The development of a better electrical power set-up for the city was one of the goals of the industrial divisiori of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce this year. Mayor Cole, the city council and other city officials have acted in away to please most of the affected consunters .in Decatur. . . .

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q. What is the proper behavior when our national anthem is played? A. When the flag is not displayed, all present should stand and face the music. When the flag is displayed, all stand and face the face. Those in uniform salute at the first note and retain this position until the last note. We all show the same respect to the anthems of our allies. Q. When a man meets a woman on the street, with whom he is well acquainted, should he offer his hand? A. This is strictly the woman’s privilege, and it is better to let her make the first move. r ~

CHAPTER 20 STEVE started for the recording machine when he heard his own voice issue from it. I headed him off, pushed him down on tlie love seat * “Oh, no, you don’t!” I said. "We’ll leave it on.” “Connie, listen . . .* “Yes, listen!” I put my hand over his mouth. "I w’ant to hear wqrd of thUi'.”,... ' , Anita: ~. just one more drink, shall we! Steve: No, I don’t think so. Anita: What’s your rush! Steve: I’ve got to-get home and spend the evening with Connie. I said, “Oh, no, don’t let me stand in your way!” “Connie!” “Qffiet!" Anita: .. . must be very lovely. What's she like, Steve ! Steve: About five-five, weighs a hundred and twenty-two. She's right handed. Throws and bats right handed. Anita: (Laughing) Steve . • . Steve, you’re so cute .. . no, don't go, darling. Sit down for just one minute. Steve: Well, one more cigaret. I said bitter#, “And you promised me you’d cut down on your smoking.” Steve: . . . charming apartment, real cosy. Anita: So glad you like it. But it can be very lonely. Steve: I don’t believe it. A girt like you. / Anita: I’m being quite serious. In my job I meet dozens of men, but so seldom do 1 meet anyone . . . well, I’m so pleased you decided to come to the Crescent School. <• Steve: (Bantering) Gee, I hope I make the team! Anita: There’s one team you’ve already made, darling ... (a I pause) There ... that's nicer, isn't it! I shouted, “What’s going on here? What happened? What’s nicer?” “She put a pillow behind my . back.” “I’ll murder her.'. . “That’s already been done.” “Quiet!” But the tape had rust out. I watched the machine automatically click to a stop. I turned . back to my husband. I pinioned him with my eyes. He cringed back into the love seat “Steve,” I said, “I’m not going to ask you what happened.” “Nothing happened! I left!” “No,” I said calmly, “I won’t ask you. Although Anita was thoroughly unscrupulous, immoral . . . amoral, really, she was obviously fascinating, irresistible. So I don’t blame you, Steve. . . .” “Listen!” he shouted. "Anita twisted her ankle dancing With me.-It was my fault. I took her home, helped her up the stairs.” I held up my hand. “May I continue ? Thank you. And in all fairness to Anita, I don’t blame her. Although you have a certain inherent weakness in your character, you have a certain animal attractiveness and a rather sneaky charm that appeals to a certain class of women. . . “Connie, listen ...” “So Anita probably saw’ that, she might combine some genuine pleasure with her business. In this case rather small business,;

... due to your lack -of courage in asking your boss for a raise. However, there is one thing I must know if we are to hope that we can ever again be relatively happy. Would you have paid Anita any blackmail, however insignificant?" “She didn't have, anything to blackmail me with!” L" held up my hand. ‘T withdraw I. ACfi-tiwA honest answer to it would incriminate you.

The recording ended; that was all, that was the end of the last tape. Steve turned off the recorder. He turned to me; we just looked at each other for a moment or two. Then Steve was shaking his head, more in sorrow than in wonder. “The human race," he said, "can be very, very good or very, very bad. That last bit there . . . what a charming couple, Anita and Stubby. That was a nice night’s work for Anita.” “Stubby committed a murder . . . and Anita was blackmailing him for it. He’s the one who killed her, Steve, he must have!” TOMORROW: A gentleman spends some uncomfortable moments. Read Chapter 2L

CHAPTER 21 THE NEXT morning Steve and * I left our apartment together. He was on his way to the office for two reasons. A: the relatively unimportant one of giving his boss the impression that he was still working for his newspaper; B: to dig into the back number flies to see if he could learn anything about the apparently accidental death of a man named Walter in the month of August. I was on my way to the Crescent School of Dancing for a number of reasons. Perhaps Leone Webb, having lived with Anita, might know of a man called Stubby. And there were some questions which Steve had thought up for me to ask Jack Walston and Dottie Harris. I reached the fourteenth floor and saw that Leone was busy at her reception desk with some people, but she had tifne to spot me. She gave me a message. Mr. Bell wanted to see me now, at once, before my first lesson. I thanked Leone, but I didn’t mean it The message had re-set my nerves to jumping. I opened the door of my employer's office just an inch. The sight of him alone, without the company of any policemen, soothed me ... but not completely- My position on Mr. Bell’s faculty was too delicate a hypocrisy to stand any interest in me from him. He smiled at me and, as royalty does, bade me sit 1 sat - w'f* “Well, Hester!" I smiled back at him, hoping to build up some good labor-capi-tal relations. Our grins seemed to make the very walls' of the elegant office shiver in delight “Well, Hester! This is your second day with us!” “Yes, Mr. Bell. This is my second day!" “And how are things going? Was yesterday difficult for you?" “Difficult? Mr. Bell,” I said fervently, "I shall Mways consider yesterday one of the most thrilling da“ys of my life." ( I didn’t add that I hoped I would never have another like it I just sat nodding and beaming at my master. “Ah,” Mr. Bell said. He actually said, “Ah.” “Yes,” I said. "Oh, yes!" “Then you find teaching gratifying, do you?” “Gratifying? Mr. Bell, I said thrilling. To take those poor, stumbling, awkward men and help them achieve grace, poise and social well-being through dancing is thrilling. Thrilling!” *T take it then, Hester, that you will be with us for a good long while.” I turned pale Inside. What a glib, monstrous liar I, Connie Barton, was becoming. If this was habit-forming, I would hardly be a fit mother for the small group of children Steve and I were planning. But then I re-

membered the reason for all this I chicanery,.-After all, it would ■ hardly be a boon to our little ■ ones to have had their daddy s tried for murder ... unfortunate- ■ ly for my morale, Mr. Bell broke : up my dire thinking, i “Well, Hester, I just wanted : to make sure you were happy : with us.” ; “Very happy, Mr. Bell." i “If you ever have any diffii culties or problems, don’t hesitate to come to me," Hastily, he added, • “I mean problems involving your i work here." : “I understand, and thank you. , Oh, Mr. Bell . . .” I I had just noticed an ugly : blotch on his immaculate white I shirt collar. I was sure he would : want to know about such an unfortunate untidiness. ■ “Yes, Hester?” ‘Tm sure you’d want to know ... there’s something on your collar. You must have cut yourself shaving." He was perplexed. "No ... no, I use an electric razor." I got up and leaned across the' desk toward him. “Oh, sorry,” I said. “It’s nothing, just some lipstick.** “Lipstick!” Mr. Bell was mortified. “No, it must be blood. I mean ..." “No, it’s lipstick, all right Don’t worry.” He strode across the room, examined himself in a wall mirror . . . and my brain buzzed. While his back was still to me, I opened my purse. My yesterday's gloves were still in it The orange stain from the mouth of my assailant outside Anita’s apartment sparkled up at me. It was similar enough to the stain on Mr. Bell’s collar to almost convince me they were identical. Unless Mr. Ben was unfaithful in his devotion to Leone Webb, I knew who my assailant was. But I wanted to make sure. I closed in on my man. “Mr. BelV* i-aaid. He turned back to me, his face flushed like a trapped schoolboy. "Hester," he said, “Hester, I can’t imagine h0w....” “Mr. Bell, don’t be embarrassed. I understand completely.”“You ... understand?” “I knew it the moment I saw you together. You were being so distant to each other, so businesslike. But I could see it" “See what?" "Between you . . . you and Leone Webb, Congratulations, Mr. Bell." “Good Lord .«. you’re sharp!" “About 10ve,.. yes. When will you be married? Soon, I hope, for both your sakes." "Look here, Hester . . ." “Yest" j “Before I change my shirt Tm going to confide in you. I feel I must explain.” “Is it necessary to explain, Mr. Bell?

such a point of keeping the relatlonstyps here in my school completely business-like. You can imagine how my conscience tortured me as I found myself attracted by, then drawn inevitably toward Miss Webb.” “You may call her Leone." “Then to my horror, Leofle reciprocated my affection and . . .” “Put it bluntly, Mr. Belt You developed a terrific yen for each other. You fought against it You lost. I don’t blame either of you. So you’re going to be married. When?" “Wen, I thought we should wait a year. To make certain, you know." He was smiling now, happy in his love. “We were planning to be married on New Year’s Eve.” “That’s a good way to begin a year." “Yes, it pleases me." He chuckled in the throes of a fond remembrance. “You see, it was on New Year’s Eve that I proposed to Leone. Actually, it was quite unromantic. I proposed by telephone.” ’“That could be unsatisfactory.” “Yes, it was impetuous of me to spoil it like that We had gone to a small restaurant where I was sure we wouldn’t be seen ... and Leone was so irresistible . .. weH, after I had taken her home, I went home and actually paced the floor. Then I did it I telephoned her a little after midnight and proposed.” “And she accepted. Right then and there.” “Yes,” Mr. Bell sighed. “Yes.” “Congratulations. She's a wonderful girt” “Yea . . , oh, yes." .1 The phone rang; Mr. Bell answered it “HeUo . . . oh, hello, my darling . . He jumped, startled, shocked at himself. He cleared the romance from his voice. He said briskly, “Yes, Miss Webb? Oh ... send them right in. Thank you.” He hung up, spoke to me. "The detectives want to see me, Hester. If you don’t mind.” “Not at all!” I said quickly. I got to the door, almost through “Hester!" “Yes, Mr. Ben?" •Tm aure I can count on you to be discreet.. “Os course!" I had to get out of here Cast “Absolutely!” "Perhaps if you feel your salary is inadequate . . "Oh, no, sir! Thank you, sir!”i I managed to get behind the door of an empty studio just in time. Through the peep-hole I saw Hankins and Boiling march past .and disappear into Mr. Bell’s office. I slid out of my hiding place and headed for the reception room, I could probably count o« a few uninterrupted momenta with Miss Leofle Webb. TOMORROW: A wolf confronts Connie. Will aha play the role of a lamb?
