The proposed trip looks like just another lark. - o o Hearty congratulations to Silver Beaver W. Guy Brown, who has earned one of the top notches in Scouting from the boys of the Anthony Wayne Area where he has worked for more than 30 years. Superintendent Brown has spent many hours in work for the Boy Scout movement and the award couldn’t have gone to a more deserving citizen. ■ o o Even those who woiftd rather burn leaves than have them collected have faced a bottleneck the last few days with rain and wet weather. Few streets remain in Decatur where it is legal to bum the leaves. Some few people still burn their leaves in alleys but almost everyone depends on the service furnished free by the city street department, which this year has been excellent. It looks like one more trip through the entire city with the collection machinery would do the trick.

SYNOPSIS Deborah Vail, an actress unengaged st the moment, is driving from London to Oarnock, Scotland, to visU a. married cousin, Joyce Monteith. Near Garnock. during a stormy evening, she is stopped m a lonely stretch of road by a flat tire. She sets out to locate a telephone. At the only house she sees, she is confronted by a man who greets her angrily: "Can't you go away and leave me in peace? what do you think I am—a peep show? I ought to welcome you with a gun!" The stranger, whose name Is Andrew Garvin, admits her unwillingly, telling her that he has no telephone. But when Garvin goes out to repair her tire, she hears a telephone ring. Locating it. Deborah picks up the receiver. A shocking voice demands. "Get out and stay out! You’re not wanted here!” Then, during a prying inspection of the house, she Is frightened by a brutish face staring at her through a window. Upon hi* return. Garvin sends nef on her way without an explanation of these happenings. Deborah .reaches th* Monteiths. At the mention of Garvin's name, Joyce exclaims: ’He murdered his wife!" “ CHAPTER 5 -1 CAN’T BELIEVE that he 1 murdered his wife," Deborah said angrily. She was as indignant as if they were speaking of an old and trusted friend. "1 don’t believe a word of it," she emphasized. Ewan Montieth looked from one woman to the other. Joyce was bristling at Deborah. Assuming an air of dignity. That was a prelude to throwing things. Afterwards she would hate berself and be humble for days, and he wanted to spare her that. To cause a diversion he walked between the two, mumbling an apology, and crossed to a window. “1 do believe it’s stopped raining,” he said, doing his best to infuse interest into the trite remark. Joyce knew her husband fully as well as he knew her. She told him brusquely not to change the subject. "You don’t believe that Garvin murdered his wife,” she said icily, to Deborah. “And what, may 1 ask, do you know about it?” "I’ve met the man,” said Deborah, equally chilly. "I’ve talked to him. 1 can’t believe—” "He changed a Hat tire for you. So that makes him a sterling character." Joyce clenched her plump fists. "Oh, you’re so stubborn." • She turned to her husband. “She’s always been stubborn. Ever since she was a child.” "If she's stubborn,” said Ewan, with a sigh, “you’re dogmatic." Walking back to the fireplace, he started to fill a blackened briar pipe, spilling crumbs ol tobacco down his front "Oh, of course! Trust you to put me In the wrong.” "My dear, if anyone is putting you tn the wrong, it's yourself We know that Erica Garvin was murdered—" _ ■ , .. - “Good of you to concede that » much.” "What we don’t know," said

Mrs. Ben Shroyer and daughter Kathryn spent yesterday in Van Wert, O. The Rev. Homer Aspy left today for Fairmount, where he will conduct special religious services for the next two weeks. n — .... Household Scrapbook ( BY ROBERTA LEE J o When Painting It’s difficult to avoid getting paint on door hinges and knobs while painting. Prepare for this by first coating these parts with petroleum jelly. Then when the door is finished, a cloth will readily remove these paint spots from the hinges and knob. Mildew Stains Fresh mildew stains can be removed from washable materials by washing with soap and water. Dry in the sun to help bleach the spots.

Ewan, striking a match, “is 1 that Garvin did it” v > ’.’Ask. anyofteC snapped. .Jqype.. v “Oh, by all means,” said Ewan, r i puffing on his pipe. “They’ll all e • tell you the same. That Garvin’s v ; guilty." Leaning on the mantel- ii i piece, he exhaled a cloud of t ‘ smokf. “But —is that proof?” v i “Proof,” repeated Joyce, as if a the word were nasty. “Oh, you— c ’ you mathematician!" d ■ "1 teach mathematics for a llv- t r ing,” said Ewan equably. "You c > can hardly expect me to agree d • with you that two and two c . makes six." r • His tone was so amiable, his r ! logic so exasperating that Joyce j r looked about her for something • to throw. at him. s f Joyce ran to her cousin and 8- threw both arms round her. s “I'm a beast. Starting a fight d before you’re properly in the i e house. 1 ought to be given a t 1 shaking." ‘ i • “You’re a darling,” said Debo- 5 f rah, hugging her, "but you J t haven’t changed a bit." The Sealyham had been stand- 1 ing, with ears cocked, at the c s living room door. Now he gave I ea sharp, commanding yelp and 1 - trotted forward to look up im- 1 a peratively at his mistress. They - heard a plaintive wailing from 1 f upstair a ( a “The baby,” said Joyce. “Pado dy always hears him first. 1 be- 1 - lieve he thinks it’s his baby and J n he only lets us look after him.” * Pressing her cheek against 1 Deborah’s for an instant, as a < - contrite and loving child might 1 do, she hurried out of the room - and ran upstairs with the little dog at her heels. y Thethree cups of coffee Ewan 1 d had poured were standing on a e side table. Deborah handed one 1 to him and took one for herself. n "Good,” she said, after an ap- < d preciative sip. “But poor Joyce’s ’ will be cold." 5 t "She likes It that way. Which is just as well, since it’s the way £ i- she usually gets it” Setting his 1 d cup on the mantelpiece, Ewan 1 ruffled his thinning yellow hair. 1 r “You know, she’s devoted to you, - ‘ ' d “You don’t have to explain 5 o Joyce to me. We’ve been rowing £ and making up since we were ’ 1. old enough to snatch each 1 l other’s toys.” “You grew up together?” < i, Ewan rin a masculine eye over 1 " her. ■ ‘ - i ■ s, “1 wish we had." A frown ’ d clouded Deborah’s lovely face. "I 1 »f was always so happy with Joyce and her parents. It was the only 1 o taste of family life 1 had. But 1 that was only for a week or two, 1 g three or four times a year. For 1 f, the most part 1 was a very lone- 1 s ly tittle girl, always being scold- 1 ed, living with an elderly maiden it aunt who was bound and deter- i mined to 'do her duty by me.”’ 1 d "Sounds grim.”

/It was. You see, my parents were killed m a car accident 1. was. .three. Most of m ? relatives were only just making ends meet, and this old aunt volunteered to take me. 1 suppose it was kind of her; but 1 grew up thinking that ail sentences began with the word 'don’t' She had an attic, with trunks full of old clothes, where 1 played on rainy days. 1 used to dress up and pretend to be different people who’d come to call. Some of them were dull and 1 let them drop. The others came to call every single rainy afternoon until they were more real to me than real people.” “And that's why you became an actress?" “It sounds so impressive . . . an actress," said Deborah, setting down her empty cup. “The truth is rather disillusioning. 1 spent three seasons in repertory, painting scenery, running errands, selling tickets, and occasionally walking on to the stage to say, ‘Did you ring, Madam ?’ I’ve had two bits in pictures but you could have missed my deathless performance tn either of them by stooping to tie your shoelace." •*But surely, this London play yod’ve been in—the one that just closed. Didn’t it run for months?” "Almost seven,” agreed Deborah. “And it was like heaven to get a weekly pay check. But it Was a thriller. And 1 played the corpse. 1 got strangled every evening before the curtain was Up five minutes. The only line they gave me to speak was: ‘You!’" “Well, you’re young. You’ve mttdo a start/’ ---- - - "Y-oung? Why, Til be twentyfive next birthday.” “1 apologize," said Ewan solemnly. "You’re not young at all. You're a broken-down old lady with her future all behind her." She smiled, but responded in a serious tone, “In the theater, twenty-five can be old. It all depends on what you've accomplished." She took a sip of coffee- and went on. “When you’re young, very young, you think you’ll be someone by the time you're twenty-five. And then one day, you wake up to the fact that twenty-five is just around the corner and you're no one—no one at all." “Perhaps round the next corner there’s a producer with a nice part for you." "That dream belongs to eighteen," said Deborah, shaking her head. “And there’s another thing. I’ve never admitted it to anyone before but perhaps 1 wasn’t really meant to be an actress. Perhaps I’ve tooled myself . . An Impression Garvin had made upon her flashed across her mind. , (To Be Continue#} j
