It is going to take a lot of stone and a lot of work on the county roads. Many of them are down to the dirt base and will take a good bit of hauling of stone and grad* ing before they will be rounded into condition for spring and summer. The sooner we can get to this job, the better, and we should not let it go much longer or it will be a costly job of repairing. o o Slowly Congress has started the ball rolling to create some 600.000 jobs, which will be a starter but only a dfop in the bucket since the government has permitted it to get so far out of hand. Who ever advised the President that the depression would take care of itself, must have been a holdover from the old Hoover regime. Let’s hope that this week’s action is only the start of some fast and beneficial legislation. - 0 O' ■'"» ■ . After Saturday there will be just the finalists left in the state basketball tourney and next Saturday night at Butler Field House the 1958 champion will be crowned. Then about next week, major league baseball will take over and rule the sports pages through, the summer. It’s wonderful to have these sports to take our minds off of other things like the depression and missile failures. o—o Forecasters aren’t too optimistic concerning quick warm weatbi er but they don’t predict any bad winter weather for the balance of the week, and some hold out hope tne 8 ’ end of the week. We should have some milder temperatures soon now and in another couple of weeks spring-like temperatures should fill the air—we hope.

Nathan Leopold, 53, was paroled this week from an Illinois prison where he was serving life and 99 years for a murder 33 years ago. We remember well back in those days when the court made it plain that he added the 99 year sentence so that if the life sentence was ever commuted, the other sentence would still run. People get soft as the years march on. Why he should ever/* have a single free day is more than we can understand. He is going to start a new life but why should he. The little boy he helped murder just for a thrill is still dead and his family still remembers the terrible crime, without a purpose. o o— Grim headlines about youth make nobody happy. We worry about the qext generation but sometimes forget that youngsters in headlines are "off-beat.” More typical of the youth of the country are the Girl Scouts who are celebrating the 46th anniversary of their organization. There are nearly 3 million girls in this organization. Roughly, this means that one out of every seven girls in the United States is a Girl Scout. The Girl .Scout organization makes no claims that it can prevent juvenile delinquency. But it does give children a sense of “belonging.” It gives them, too, many opportunities for achievement and recognition. We are happy to note that the Scouts have struck a positive note in their anniversary therhe "You "A£ia &;out _ is a girl who can be counted on to be ready for emergencies, tohelp other people and perhaps most important, to serve her country and community. We wish there were more of them.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Nora Pendleton knew someone wanted her to die. Until the night of October 12th. she had never known fear for herself She had never had a care In the world until she met Stuart Young, an unemployed former medical student Within five, weeks they were engaged. Theft Stuart was arrested tor the murder of a young ?trl. Candy" Kendrick. Noras riends and Kin believed Stuart to be guilty But they had also thought him to be a fortune hunter, interested in Nora because Os her wealth. Nora had testified at Stuart's trial that he had been with her on a picnic at the time Candy was killed. But Nora's cousin, Charles Deming, swore that he had seen Stuart and Candy together just before the supposed time of the crime. The murder happened near the Connecticut inn run by Bert and Hazel Huger, distant cousins of Nora's. Charles' young son. Frank, was there: and the local druggist. Howard Ives; and Nora's aunt. Olive Riddle, who had served with Lawyer "Finn" Black as Nora's guardian. . _ As the story Stuart has been acquitted and police have .reopened the case. Nora has been given a disturbing reminder of the crime by the delivery to her of a photograph of a laughing girt, signed "Love from Candy." It later disappeared from the place sdie hid ft. That night, someone tried to smother her with a pillow while she slept. To get away alone where she can think what to do. Nora goes for a morning drive in her car. She meets Tom Jones. Frank's wat<?hdog-tuton who joins her. and she heads for where she can make a phone call. . . . CHAPTER 10 IN BREWSTER Nora parked her 1 car outside a drugstore, then turned in embarrassment. “I didn’t bring any money. Can you lend me some change?” Tom felt in his pocket. “This ■enough?” ”1 have no idea. I want to call New York." •T’U get you some more?* Overriding her objections, he went in with her, changed a bill and poured the coins into her hand. ‘T’U wait. Signal if that Isn't enough.” She closed the booth and ■> dialed the operator. Leaning against the wall, he heard her say, “Hello . . . Mr. Potter, please ... I can’t hear you . . . Nora Pendleton . . . Heavens, what’s that? . . . No, please listen now . . Please, It’s important." Her voice rose. "Remember the young girl from Kildare?" She came out of the booth frowning. “Something was wrong. A thunderstorm in New York, 1 think. The most awful noises. I couldn’t make him hear me.” “Was it important?” Tom asked. Nora said slowly, “I think it was. 1 wish 1 could be sure he understood me.” Pictures of Mr. Potter—and what with one thing and another ' the newspapers had a considerable file of his pictures—had been taken under such improbable cir-

In other words. Mr. Potter was news. He couldn't help himself. Now and then he remarked i austerely, and reasonably truthfully, that he expected to settle down and do research for a mon- ■ umental' work on comparative : cultures. The trouble was that i whenever he got into his stride I something happened. 1 Something, a disillusioned i friend had told him, would always happen to a man who could i not spend a quiet day in the reading room of the public 111 brary without coming across . some item of information that ‘ led him straight into a police • court. t From past experience Hifam 5 Potter had learned that explana- : tions did not really help. He had never known whether it was because people don’t listen or be- . cause they can’t communicate anything that really matters. In ‘ most respects, they remained as ' invi&lably separate as trees. 1 True, he was curious. But everyone started with curiosity, 1 started by asking what and wpy. They stopped because they didn’t I get any answers, or at least not the right answers. And Mr. Pot- • ter still had a child’s curiosity, i linked now with an adult sense I of responsibility. . , If his acquaintances regarded : him as an entertaiiyng eccentric with an unhappy flair for stumI bling into violence, he did not ; particularly mind. To establish the balance, a growing number of ! people had reason to be devoutly . thankful for his lively curiosity, i *At the present moment in Mr. Potter's house on the west side of Gramercy Park, lights were ; burning to compensate for the darkness caused by the storm. i The telephone rang.

And she ran for her life How she wished Mr. Potter were there! Well, I’U be ! That’s what she wanted to tell me." He pawed through a desk for an address book, called a number tn Massachusetts. While he waited he drummed his fingers impatiently on the telephone table. There followed a long argument with Nora’s butler from which he emerged, flushed and defeated. "They aren’t giving out her whereabouts. —Oh, what a fool 1 am!” he thought. “She's at that Connecticut mn, of course.” Before leaving his nouse, Mr. Potter telephoned a friend of his on the police force to get ths name of the man in the Connecticut State Police who had handled the investigation of the murder Os Candy Kendrick. In a short time O’Toole called back. “The man you want is Captain Foote. He’ll meet you for lunch at Martha’s Kitchen —that’s a restaurant —in Stanleyville at one o'clock. 1 told him you are okay.” “Hope I can do you a good turn some time." - - “You got me out of uniform,” the detective reminded him. "I owed you something. Foote is curious. He wants to know what you’ve got hold of." “A limerick," Mr. Potter said truthfully. O’Toole was disgusted. “I might have known. But watch yourself. And don't—l repeat, don’t —stir things up.” As Mr. Potter drove his red Jaguar up the parkway in the rain, he tried to recall what he knew of Nora Pendleton, to sort out his impressions of her. That he had been very much Impressed he knew. In fact, if he had not been so heartsore over a personal" tragedy he might have fallen in love with her. Without being beautiful She created an illusion of beauty. She had seemed to him sheer poetry, but poetry whose meaning must be delved for. But there had been something about her that disturbed him. a quality—he grasped for it but it eluded him. At any rate, she had not been melodramatic, not given to overstatement. The idiotic limerick —“When she ran for her life”— that, he was sure, was what she had tried to tell him. The thunderstorm had gone without clearing the air, leaving it more oppressive. But Mr.* Potter had a sense of foreboding that had nothing to do with the lowering skies. 'Whatever was ahead he wasn't going to like it fTo Be Continued)
