Remember this is another week-end and there will be a lot of traffic. The other fellow may be careless, don't you be. o o— We've given up on trying to recognize all of the weeks and days designated for special observance. If a person tried to observe every day, he would have to live in a tuxedo. Most people agree that Americans run the observances in the ground. o—o . If every citizen will accept his share of the responsibility of making Decatur better every day, we will continue to be a great city. We have great schools, Churches, civic accommodations for young and old and fine school athletic programs. Let's keep Decatur the best and all we have to do is to make sure that each citizen does his share. ——io o A prominent Decatur citizen will be honored Sunday night at the Decatur Missionary Church, when a local “This Is Your Life” program will be held. The gentleman is well known and several of his friends from over the county will be in attendance to honor him. His name will not be revealed until the meeting.

Louis Jacobs general president of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce and David Moore, retail chairman, have taken well to their jobs and both men give every indication that Decatur will continue to be the best little city in Indiana. Moore has adopted the same policies in general as were so effective this last year and the general policies also will be similar to a year ago. Both new officers are starting their year with great enthusiasm and every thing points toward a “growing” Decatur. ——'o o— Byard H. Smith, Fort Wayne, former Decatur resident, came back home this week for the annual Chamber of Commerce meeting and gave a large and interested audience plenty to think about. Mr. Smith warned time and again during his talk that the only fear we should have • is “complacency.” The principal speaker outlined the chaging world and also discussed depressions and their caus'es and be concluded by saying we always would have depressions and would always snap out of them. The address was well received. The speaker praised the Decatur Chamber and its work in helping make Decatur a great place to come to and to call home.

CHAPTER 24 Returnin g to the home place was the last thought in my mind, yet I had no other place to go. The dawn finally arrived, along with the brassy sun and the promise of early heat 1 edged clear around Higgins’ place, and Mooney’s, on the chance that they might be able to shoot a little straighter than Randolf in the daylighL. J ___: When I passed Everett's soddy, 1 stopped for a look. Everett's wagon was not there and 1 figured that his wife and children had stayed on in town. Don't Know why, but I felt drawn to the place. 1 eased m, dismounting in the yard. After tying my horse to the fence, 1 walked toward the bam, stopping before 1 got there. There was a fresh mound near the south wall, Wade Everett's grave, and 1 could Just see bis wife digging that, weeping and digging until finally it was finished. 1 went tn the bam for a look <rrottndz —Everett —didn't —have much, either in the way of tools or fodder. A look at the rafters pointed out the one on which ne had been nung; the wood was “Worn slick where the rope had chafed while he thrashed about. And then 1. found the rope. Not just any kind of rope, like

you would find on a well bucket. Tins was a cattleman’s rope, yet it was more than that too. •. It was a rope that pointed a finger just as surely as if Wade Everett were doing it from the grave. For the rope belonged to Luther O'Dare! Quickly I opened my shirt and stuffed it inside as though afraid God would look down and identify it too. I stood there, letting my doubts and suspicions have their way with me, and forgive me, I made up as good a case against Luther as any prosecutor could nave. Luther couldn't have nad a better motive anger. And a desire to strike back, to revenge himsetf. Cord had always said that he'd hang the man found with one of our steers: suspicion, would fall Cord's way and Luther knew that. The rest ? His absence and the rope would' make a definite impression on a jury. Staying any longer at Wade Everett's place was out of the question; 1 mounted and swung away, not toward the home place, but toward Rindo’s Springs. That was the most miserable ride I ever took. After a while 1 removed Luther's rope from beneath my shirt, coiled it, and hung it on my saddle. The only place in Rindo's Springs that was open for business was Heck Overland’s. Deserted towns are not my dish and

Modern Etiquette I BY ROBERTA LEE Q. Is it really considered correct to accept a second helping of Hood when your hostess offers it to you, or is this a sign of greediness? A. One may certainly accept a second helping if one wishes. It is a compliment to the hostess’ cookery to do so. However, if you don’t care for a second helping, you may say, ‘No, thank you.” Q. Do you think there is any need for a girl to feel embarrassed if she is dining in a restaurant with a man, and he makes a careful examination of his check? A. I don’t see any need of embarrassment. Most certainly he has a right to examine his check, but he should do so in a causal and unobtrusive manner. Q. Should the guests at a wedding reception insist upon kissI mg the bride? A. It is better not. I Trade in a good town — Decati®

I let the pony singlefoot down t toward the saloon, all the time h keeping my head moving from a left to right and back again. When 1 pulled up in front of c Overland’s place, he came out; t riders stopping here were rare and worth a first-hand look. He peered at me from beneath s his shaggy brows. "Ain't you the t young-O'Dare boy?” A "Smoke," 1 said.—We don't see 4 much of you in Ponca City, Mr. c Overland.” r “Like it here," Overland said. 1 "We don’t see much of you * O'Dares either, ’ceptin’ Luther." He turned toward the sagging t saloon doors. “Come in. You must t be thirsty.” ' The inside was as rundown as > the exterior. 1 sort of expected to see a few ghosts come out and ! dance, in memory of the old days. 1 Overland went behind his bar ' and got a bottle and glasses. He ; poured and shoved one my way. “Here’s a tear,” he said, "provid- : ing you got something to cry 1- About;" : i 1 downed mine and nearly > choked. It went down as smooth ! as a newly sharpened crosscut i saw. Overland seemed immune to 1 his own whisky for he downed vhis drink without batting an eye. Then he looked at me real s steady and said, "What’re you do-

ing here, Smoke?” ‘‘Ridin',” I said. "Been meaning to get over this way for some time.” "Why?” A blunt question can sure stop a man cold. I fooled around with my whisky glass and wondered what I should say. “Was Cord here yesterday?” “He was,” Overland said. "We played blackjack most of the afternoon. Wai well after dark before he left. Nine, I’d say." I bit my lip, afraid to ask any more. Heck Overland saved me the trouble. “Luther was here too. Left around six or seven. Closer to seven, I think.” “Anything bothering him?" Overland’s eyes got round and careful and full of secrets. “What do you mean, bothering him?” “Well, he left home fort of riled. I wondered if he and Cord had words.” “Cord told him a thing or two,” Overland said. He scratched his i whiskers. “Let me see now. i Luther was bn the peck about ; something. Lit into Cord. A lot , 1 didn’t understand. Cord backed : him down and Luther Stormed I out of here.” Overland carefully refilled his shot glass. "Something ■ \vrong, Smoke?” I "Wade Everett was killed last night around dark.” i "Too bad,” Overland said. "I ■ didn’t know the man at all Never had truck with farmers.", I •There’s going to be a M of

"The farmers have sent to Oklahoma City for a marshal.’' “Oh?” Overland’s tone was careful. “He going to investigate the killin’?” "And the rustling too,” I said. “Cord mentioned that you’ve shipped a few head from here, time to time." "Might nave," Overland said. He placed his hands on the edge of the bar. "Wouldn’t ask too many ■- was I you. Might get sonie answers you wouldn’t like.” 1 couldn't have agreed more, but there is something in a man that makes him search for the truth, even when it hurts the most. “Why don’t you try me?” “Well,” Overland said, “you're an O’Dare and 1 guess blood's thicker than water. I’ve shipped a few head now and then for Luther. Young heifers, mostly. Just set out a lantern and the train’d stop." He put out his hand and took me by the arm. ■■Don’t look so palefaced. boy. Surely you knew . . ." “1 didn't know!” I yelled. “And Cord all the time threatening to hang . . “Whoa, whoa there,” Overland said softly. “Cord knew, toward the last. That talk was a smoke to cover up what he knew.” He gave me a shake. "Now you go on home and leave this to Cord. There ain’t nothin’ going to happen that he can’t handle." “Yeah," 1 said. "Cord will handie everything. He always has." I turned and walked to the door and outside, but I couldn’t seem to come out of the shock. Overland came to the porch while 1 mounted. Then Overland said, "When you see Cord, tell him to come over." “What for?" “Never you mind," Overland said. “You just tell him that him and I have some business to discuss. And don’t forget” I nodded and turned out of town. I tried to think, but that seemed impossible. On my saddle was the rope that had done the ugly job; I could ■ hide it or destroy it But I knew I that I wouldn’t help Luther that way. The marshal would be a ■ professional man hunter and my i tracks were in Wade Everett's yard. There would be questions and I could Ue, but not good enough to tool a man trained to j detect lies.
