Congratulations to YaUow Jacket coach Paul Bevelheimer and his squad which also played the underdog roll in the Bluffton holiday invitational basketball tourney and walked off with the honors trouncing the highly favored Bluffton Tigers on their home floor. It sweetly avenged an earlier defeat here and added more desire to win for the Ircsl team. All of the local players made a good accounting of themselves and we are proud of all of them and happy for the Coach and all others connected with the team. o.. o Announcement of appointments to county jobs will be made this week and for the first time in many years with the majority of the Commissioners Republican. Republicans probably predominate in the new appointments. That is politics and those who don't like it should buckle down and help in the next political campaign. o o— — President Eisenhower, without much advice from his fellow planners is preparing to ask for a lot more money for government operation next year and what do you know, he wants a lot of it ear-marked to his discretion. Wouldn’t the press have jumped down the throat of the Democrat had that party asked for the same thing a few years ago?

The street department of the city has completed more miles of street and alley improvement than ever in Decatur’s history and we’re proud to add at less cost to the public. o o If President Eisenhower doesn’t come up with some quick miracles, he could possibly end his second term as one of our most unpopular leaders. He fails to comprehend the importance of things and events. He either does not have proper advisors or he refuses to use them. Surely he realizes that a government as big as ours and as unwieldy just won’t run itself. It takes a lot of steering, and that we do not and have not had. —_o——o The Detroit Lions who lost their coach just a few weeks before the pro football season started rose up Sunday on their home field and overwhelmed a surprised but greatly outplayed favorite Cleveland Brown team for the championship of the world. Cleveland never had a chance yesterday and played ragged from the very beginning. It was a great triumph for the underdog team and showed very vividly what team work really means. The title game ends the pro season with the exception of an all star game to be played on the west coast with stars of several teams taking part.

But what if the man’s family lives in a distant city?

CHAPTER 3U [ Deborah s plan was almost cancelled at the outset b> Joyce, who came downstairs chattering blithely. The words lied abruptly on her lips when she saw the bronze statuette mi the bookcase Ashen-faced, appalled, she stared at Deborah. “W-where did you get that?" “It isn’t the one the murder was done with," Deborah said buiCltry. "ITS a copy I bought in Glasgow.” > ’ - . “Why didn't you tell me?" Joyce demaiKed. "And what's it doing there?" All ot a sudden she understood. She was furious. "Deborah, how dare you? You're setting a trap ’ fpr one of my guests!” "Erica’s statuette stood at her bedside for only a short while before she was murdered. Anyone who saw it there saw it dur ing that brief period.” "And you're hoping one of my guests will look guilty!" “Not hoping, exactly. 1 admit 1 hadn't thought of " “Then think now!” Joyce said heatedly. ”1 won’t have you using my party to —— Jt_’s as_ ji_ I planned the affair simply as a trap.” The back door slammed and Ewan walked tn breezily. He Kissed his wife and put a friendarm round Deborah. “What's this?" he asked, noticing the statuette. '‘Spniethin& new ? I rather like ft. Only hope it didn't cost a packet Well, I’d better dress for the party.” “Put it away, Deborah," Joyce -,aid firmly, as she turned to fol.ow her husbarrd upstairs. "Get the thing out ot Sight" Deborah reached out a hand to the bronze figure. She drew It back. The doorbell rang and she went to answer it, leaving the statuette where it stood. The party had begun. Within halt an hour the tiv ing room* was thronged. Tc everyone's surprise, the MacInches made an early appearance. They were usually late everywhere. Judith faded and angular, yet still with an aura ot past beauty, in dove gray with a rose pink ijat. Hector genial, assured. impeccably tailored, and good enough to commend Ewan's sherry, sincerely or not. His eyes, resting on Deborah nad a mocking glint. She flushed slightly and had an uncomfortable feeling that he was going to embarrass her in. public by spinning a mischief-making tale out of the episode on the hillside. But he did not allude to it. f 'l’ve got to Ulank you lor do-

A. Then, of course, letters expressing mutual happiness over the forthcoming marriage should be exchanged. Q. I have noticed some persons taking a heaping teaspoonful of ice cream and then make several monthfuls of it. Is this proper? A. No; only enough ice cream for one moythful should be taken. Q. When dining in the home of friends, is it proper for a man to ask permission of his hostess to remove his qpat? A. It would be much better for him to wait for his hostess or host to make this suggestion. Q. I am giving a bridal shower soon on a friend of mine, and expect to invite about 30 guests. Would it be proper to stipulate in a third of the invitations “linen,” another third “kitchen,” and another third "lingerie”? A. No; the guests should be permitted to ehoose the kind of gifts they perfer. Q. At a bqffet dinner, should I the hostess wait until all her guests are taken care of before she fills her own place? A, While she does not have to make a thorough check of this, she should be among the last to fill her plate.

ing me a gooa turn,' ne saia ex- 1 pansively to Ewan, who looked 1 surprised. "By giving that scoundrel Scobie the sack. I mean." I "Well, 1 certainly packed nim * off." said Ewan, “but 1 can't see how that means anything to you" j “Been needing a man to nelp prune my orchard. Tod" much work tor my gardener to manage alone. You know how the labor situation is. Can't get nelp tor love or money. Didn’t think ot Scobie until 1 found the blighter prowling tn my grounds. Thought at fifst he was nosing about in quest of something worth pinching, but ne told me he was looking for a job. 1 put it up to my gardener. If he could manage Scobie, we’d take him on for a few weeks. He said he'd manage the blighter if he had to take a cudgel to him. so that’s how it stands. Must say he shows up every mdrning and does his share of the work—as long as you keep an eye on him.'' “When do you go back to Edinburgh. Mr. Maclnch?” asked one us the guests with the respect due to a distinguished Queen's Counsel t. --—“Tomorrow or the next day, I’m afraid. Can't get out ot it. We love the country, Judith and , I, but duty calls, you know.” Glass in hand, he joined the group round Deborah. Here it comes, she thought. But his first remark was an innocuous one about his work at the Law Courts. He glanced at the" statuette. She watched his face covertly for some unusual reaction. There was none. It was halt an hour later when Hector Maclnch stopped her for a moment in the hall “Can you keep a secret?" he asked. “1 think so," Deborah replied. “I've had a pretty broad hint from an old friend in Edinburgh. Can’t reveal his identity but he holds a high official tion. L know you’ll be interested. Promise you'll keep it to ydurseit? . They've practically decided ■ to prosecute Andrew Garvin, i Whether the evidence Is sufficient or not, they feel it’s tm- : portant to clear the matter up. There's to be a meeting in a I day or so and then the warrant i will be issued.” If he hoped to shock and dismay her, he succeeded. She staredI at him. the vivid color of her lipstick contrasting oddly with the > pallor of her quivering face. Though dazed and shaken, she t had sufficient wit to wonder why . he had told her this. “You mustn't tell h« ■ said. ''Especially not Garvin. It

Two Arrests Made Here Sunday Night Drivers Arrested On Traffic Counts Two arrest* were made by the city police Sunday night, one arrest resulting from a property damage accident. Traveling west on Monroe street, a car driven by Ted Jay Lewis. 20, Huntington, ran a red light at the intersection of 13th and Monroe, and struck the northwest signal light, knocking it over. The accident occurred at 2:35 a.m. Lewis was charged with running a red light and is scheduled to appear in justice of the peace court at 7 p.m. today. Also scheduled to appear today in justice of the peace court is Dale F. Hake, 17. Decatur, on a charge of running through a red light. Hake was arrested at 12:30 a.m. last night when he ran the red light at 13th and Monroe. One accident was reported to the sheriff's department last night. Cars driven by Max Larry Egley, 17, route 2, and James Phillip Adams, 17, Decatur, sideswiped on a narrow bridge at 11:55 p.m. Damage was estimated at sls to the Egley car and $55 to the Adams vehicle. The police also stated that a boy’s ‘green Schwinn bicycle had been recovered at Gay’s service station at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

Get him off, too. if it’s humanly possible." “You?" “I don’t want to boast,” said 1 Hector complacently, “but J don’t yield first place to any advocate in Scotland. Anyone will tell you his defense couldn’t be in more capable hands. Besides, I’ve known the chap all his life. And his father before him. “Pull yourself together," he said sharply “We’ve got to go in and join the others, and the guest of honor must look her best.” Over his shoulder she saw her- • self tn the hall mirror and thought she looked ghastly. Was that why he nad given her the distressing piece of information? To shatter her composure and give the guests food for conjecture over the sudden change in her? Considering his malicious sense of humor, it was not un- . likely. Well, she was an actress and now she must play the part of a smiling girl without a care in the world. Turning from him, she ran upstairs to put on a touch of color. The Sinclairs arrived In her absence. When she came down Enid gave her a fulsome greeting but Bill only nodded vaguely before wandering off and attaching himself to another group. Since that morning in the case, when Enid exploded over the silver cigarette lighter, Bill had been mistrustful of Deborah. Dropping the tentatively flirtatious approach, he kept himself warily aloof from her. The evening was drawing in, for which Deborah was thankful. Soon the guests would begin to leave. • She had to remind herself to smile, and go on smiling. Coming face to face with Bill Sinclair, she saw him looking at her suspiciously. He said, "Nice party,” preparing to edge away. His eyes were caught by the statuette on the bookcase and his jaw dropped. The glass fell from his limp fingers. Taking a faltering pace backwards, he stepped on the t glass, grinding the splintered fragments into the carpet. He seemed to be having s stroke. The Lonely Man reaches a climactic pitch of suspense in its concluding chapters here next week.

CHAPTER 31 s PIOSE NEAREST Bill Sin- 1 clair were clustering around him, asking questions and offer- ' mg suggestions. One more practical than the others went for a 1 glass of water. Deborah would ' nave liked to do something tor 1 the stricken man but knew he would flinch from her if she came 1 close. “It . . . it's nothing,” Bill was saying, speaking very slowly and 1 with a visible effort. “A ... a J sudden twinge ot pain. It caught 1 me here, tn the side. Don’t wor- ’ ry, 1 think it's going now." With wifely intuition, Enid Sin- ' clair knew that he was lying; that it was shock, not a pain that unhinged him. She also knew that, tor the time being, she was not likely to get at the truth. 1 When Bill started to lie, he went on lying. Only by remorseless questioning in private would she break him down. And he was afraid. Why? She looked searchingly at Deborah but could find nothing in the girl's face to give her a clue. „ “I’d better take you home," Enid said to Bill"Home." ne stammered, snatching at the suggestion. “Yes, I want to go home.” Enid steadied hijn as he stood up and gave him the support of her arm in crossing the room. She was abrupt with those who wanted to be of service. In the doorway, she paused tor a moment “It's been a lovely party," she said acidly, glancing from Deborah to Joyce and Ewan. The departure of I 'the Sinclairs broke up the party. When the door closed on the final guest, Joyce dropped into a chair. “Well, that's over!” she exclaimed. “'What was all the tuss aboqt? I could see that something was wrong but I was too occupied to grasp what it was." Deborah did not answer. The shock which the sight ot the statuette had caused Bill was too grave a matter to be discussed offhandedly. She wanted time to think. "If you’ll excuse me,” she said, “I’ll just run up and powder rny nose.” She went out swiftly before Joyce or Ewan could ask any more questions. L* ’ * Deborah did not suspect Scobie ot being the murderer of Erica Garvin, though it should have occurred to her. He obviously was a brute capable of anything it he thought he could get away with it. Unless in panic or passion, he would not risk killing in the cold light ot day. But Deborah did not doubt that he knew. *or

strongly suspected, the identity of t the murderer. h Scobie had found temporary r employment at the Maclnches. s Hector had said the man turned up every morning and worked all day at the odd jobs the Mac- £ Inches had for him to do. a Deborah took the precaution of v halting at a secluded place over- r looking the Maclnch estate be- £ lore scouting the orchard through field glasses. When she got the t range she saw Scobie balanced on t a tall ladder, topping the branches t of a tree, while another man, pre- s sumably the gardener, steadied $ the ladder from the ground. ( Feeling reasonably safe with ( the knowledge that Scobie would be occupied for the better part of j the day, Deborah drove to his shack. - | The huge black dog chained by ( the door barked menacingly when her car stopped at the sagging ' gate. When he saw who ap- , proached he stopped barking and wagged his tail. He was a men- ‘ acing-lookmg beast but ne re- ’ membered the juicy liver and soothing caresses she brought him last time. The chunk of red meat she threw him before coming close was quickly engulfed by the awesome jaws. Gulping it down without chewing, he wagged his tail again. “Glad to see me, Blackie-boy?” she murmured, kneeling to fondle his silky ears. He was delighted. Starved of companionship, he made much of her, wriggling his powerful body in ecstasy, nuzzling her with nose and jowls, making it clear with whines and excited movements how very welcome she was. Deborah moved slowly round the shack, examining it from al) sides. Tile windows neither opened nor shut. They were single panes, set in rough frames nailed tight to the structure. The only way m, short ci smashing a window or ripping down a wall, was through the door. And the padlock and hasps were discouragingly stout, i Naturally, she could not be sure that the missing murder weapon was hidden inside the shack—- ; Scobie might have a dozen ingenious caches for filched proper- , ty—but the shack seemed the cb- ; vious starting, place.

to trick him into revealing the hiding place. It seemed to Deborah that there was away, a very simple one . .. After dinner that evening, Deborah put on a coat, arranged a scarf lightly on her hair, and went out to pdst some letters. The mail-box was only a few streets away. They were dark streets, with long stretches of shadow between the yellow pools ot light cast by the lamp posts. Few lights were showing in the houses and there was not a solitary pedestrian, not even a slinking cat, to enliven the deserted pavements. It was so still that the patter of her own footsteps seemed jarringly loud. Reaching the box, she dropped the letters into the slot. She heard them slithering down, and started back. Before she had gone far she heard, or fancied she heard, footsteps, following behind, looking back casually, she saw no one. The street appealed as deserted as before. But when she walked on the footsteps behind her started "again. They kept pace, like an echo. When she slowed down, the sounds behind her slowed down; when she quickened, they quickened: when she halted in indecision, they halted. She hardly dared look back again but steeled herself to do so, and saw an empty street. Her fright rose moment by moment at the thought that someone stood, motionless and unseen,waiting for her to go on. She told herself sharply not to be an idiot. The assumption that she was being followed deliberately implied that someone had lain in wait for her: and no one could have known she would come out that evening when she had not known it herself until ten minutes before. She took a tentative step, then . paused and listened. There was no echoing step. Emboldened, she ’ walked on steadily and heard herself being followed again. The 1 sound was unnerving. Panic-possessed then, she started to run and heard running footsteps in pursuit. No, this was no mistake. The footsteps behind were running like her own. They ' quickened. They were gaining. 3 In a dark place overshadowed ’ by the hanging branches of a tree, two gloved hands reached 3 opt from behind and grasped het B neck . . .
