Government bonds are selling at record new discounts. For about 89 cents on the dollar you can buy some of Uncle Sam's bonds which he has promised to repay in good old American dollars. Its nothing to worry about our government officials inform us as it is a curb on inflation. < O -""O Ohio police officials should put Adams county enforcement agents cm their pay rolls. For the second time in a couple of years local officials have broken cases leading to the arrest of burglars from the Lima, Ohio area. This week after a chase through city, streets and an accident, an Ohio young man confessed to assisting in an attempted burglary in St Mary’s, Ohio.

the soil bank or acreage allotment for the next three years will depend upon the vote next week of the farmers involved. Since neither plan is mandatory, many who will not support either plan will not vote at all. Secretary Benson is requiring a two thirds vote to put the soil bank plan into effect, which indicates he has changed his mind after the election. Should the soil bank plan be adopted, farmers who qualify would go into a three year program. The acreage allotment plan on the other hand would vary from year to year depending upon the wishes of the U. S. Agriculture department. Because of the complications of either program and because of the relative low guarantees as compared to the free corn market, it is probable that only the large farmers will find either suitable to their operations. One national farm organization has condemned both programs. Help to the farmers under either plan could be another “too little too late’’ program and qt the best would not attract young men starting new farm operations who need a maximum of income to support growing families, pay higher interest rates and purchase higher priced machinery. If America is to grow, it needs.a program which will prove agriculture has a future for a young man. The Eisenhower answer to dwindling farm incomes of “get a job in a factory” could eliminate the small land-owning farm family which has been the stabilizing factor in our American civilization since the time of. Thomas Jefferson.

CHAPTER 27 vw/ENDELL and I took cur W second drinks into the kitchen. It WaA' gleaming white, streamlined, a cooking laboratory- ; Off it was a tiny breakfast nook with a window overlooking Washington Square. It was enchanting. We stepped across a corridor. Wendell opened a door and beckoned me through it “This,” he said, “is the bedroom." I gasped with pleasure. It was ultra-modern. I’m not a great admirer of the modern, but I admired this. The deep, soft rug begged you to take your shoes off. The sleek, handsome chests of drawers beseeched you to fill them. The tremendous, luxurious bed with its low tables and their graceful lamps extended an irresistible invitation to tumble into it I wrenched’my eyes away from it "Wonderful," I murmured. “Merely wonderful.” “And the closets,” he said. “Built in, custom designed.” He opened one for me. It was a miracle of efficiency . . . shelves, drawers, cubby holes, clothes racks, shoe racks. The closet was almost empty. There were a few dresses in sight two negligees, a few pairs of Shoes; that was all. Mrs. Wendell Kipp must have filled a lot of luggage for her Florida weekend trip. Wenden took down a negligee, held it up for me to see. Wendell said, "Wouldn’t you be more comfortable in this ...? I’ll wait for you in the living room.” He leaned toward me a moment, smiling gently, then drifted away toward the living room. "Wendell," I said. He stopped at the doorway and turned back to me. I returned his questioning smile with an answering one. “My pane, it’s on the sofa in the living room. Would you mind? My lipstick. . . “Os course.” He was back in a moment He gave me my purse without speaking a word, but his hand, as it touched mine and lingered, wrote a book. Then he was gone. I was alone . . . with the negligee. Quickly, I put it back in the closet Quickly, I looked through the closet through the drawers in the chests. I went into the bathroom, looked around there. I spent a frantic moment trying to figure out away to prove my hunch. I went to the telephone on one of the bed tablas. 1 spoke softly to the switchboard girl who answered. “Did Mrs. Wendell Kipp leave any massage before she left?" “Mrs. Wendell Kipp? Did you say Mrs.?" I muttered something and hung up. The perplexity in the girl’s voice had told me that my hunch was right. No woman had ever lived in this apartment and used that sterile Jutchen ar that bar-

bea* shop bath. There had been no feminine clothes in the chests of drawers. No woman would take an her clothes, except those’ few things in the closet, on a mere weekend trip. Wendell Kipp had no wife. f His wife was only a myth, created by him to aid and abet his career as this century’s Casanova. If a babe, having been informed by Wendell of his wife, still accepted his advances, she was a babe who wanted only to play, and not for keeps. Thue* Wendell saved himself a lot oct time ahd any threat of inconvenience. Wendell Kipp had seduction down to a science. I got going; I had news for Steve. I slipped across the corridor, into the kitchen and through its service entrance. I walked down the stain to the next floor and rang for the elevator there. In the lobby I found the row of house phones. I picked one up. “Mr. Wendell Kipp, please.” He answered immediately. “Wendell," I said, “can you talk now? Or is she with you?” "What . . . who is this?" "Hester.” "Hester!" "I heard your wife eome in, Wendell, so I slipped out. I’m in the lobby. Look, I hope your wife didn’t . . ." "What! Nobody came fa! My wife’s in Florida!” "But Tm sure I heard her.” "Hester, you come back here this minuter’ “NO, Wendell, it’s spoiled now. I’D call you tomorrow.” "I don’t believe you. Listen, what goes with you? Who the hell are you?” "Wendell, your language!" "You're giving me some kind of run-around and I don't like it! Listen, damn it, I want to talk to you. Wait down there in the lobby for me .. "All right, dear, I’ll wait” "I’ll be right down.” He hung up; I hung up. I got out of the Wellington Hotel as fast as I could. It wasn’t until I stepped into the raw wind pouring across Washington Square that I realised my coat was still folded neatly on a chair in Wendell Kipp's foyer. It was an rid coat but so warm. I wondered if I would ever see it again. I wondered if I would ever see Mr. Kipp again. Then I decided to get a little 'pleasure out of my wonder hour so I wondered, while I was looking for a Cab, if I, Connie Barton, would ever see my husband Steve again, and I found that definitely worth wondering about Steve might still be scouting the neighborhood of the West Twenties tor Harriet Kroll and her drinking companion, Mrs Zeigler; he might nave found them and be in conference with them this very moment, or he might have completed his mission and be already home. I climbed into a cab at Waveriy Place. I would just have time

to get home, see if Steve waa there, pick up a coat and- get tock to 4 UpftpgLtftC.mX, »eve • o’clock dance lesson. I asked the driver to hurry. * As we pulled around the comer, I looked back at the Wellington. I caught a glimpse of Wendell Kipp hurrying out of the lobby entrance. He was hatlesa, coatleas, but he had a coat over one arm. Mine. But I wasn't so cold that I wanted to face Mr. Kipp again. I repeated my request to the driver for speed. Steve wasn’t at.home. I slipped into my Sunday coat and back into the cab. I got to the school in time to rate a nog of approval from Leone as I went through the reception room to Studio K. T I gave a dancing lesson. I said good-by to my pupifc Just as I was about to follow him down the corridor to the phone booths to call Steve again, a visitor stepped into my studio. It wasn’t a social call. As Jack Walston pounded across ths dance floor toward me with that vibrant, jolting walk of his, I knew that this was strictly business connected with a murder. Young Mr. Walston was grim. When he said that he wanted to talk to me I had the feeling that if I didn’t co-operate there would be hell to pay. Then and there, not on any installment plan. I cooperated. Not that I didn’t want to. I did; I was curious. Jack’s voice had lashed out at me. He said, “What’s so fascinating about me?" “That’s what is known as a rhetorical question.” “You’re so interested in ma. You. go around asking questionsabout me.” “Oh," I said. “You’ve been talking to Hooray Rose." “You follow me all the way out to Kew Gardens . . .” “Did you find the car all right?” “I found It* "Did you drive up to New Haven ? Is that where you and Dottie are going to open your roadhouse?” ■ He didn’t answer. He was doing a little thinking. It didn't seem to get him anywhere. He walked around me in a five-step square. He took a deep breath that heralded our return to speaking terms. “I don’t know,” he said, “how the hell you figure in Anita's murder . . .’or any of thia I’m going to stop even thinking about it All I want is the tape recording you have of Anita and me." i “I have a tape recording?" “At least you’ve heard it You asked Hooray Rose about Anita and me being dancing partners. I never said a word about that to anybody but Anita . . . and later to Dottie. I know that neither of them would have told you about It Ao you heard the recording.” TOMORROW: Why Jaek Walston paid HanlouH.
