Showcase A Success Decatur’s 50 merchants who took part in the annual showcase are, in general, very pleased with the show this year. Not only were the displays better, with very good gifts given to those who signed up, but the people seemed to have more interest in the show, and took time at each exhibit. Some of the merchants felt that the date of the showcase was too close to Mother’s Day, so there is a possibility that the show will be shifted to a later date, possibly the middle of June. The crowd was not large as hoped for this year, but neither have the crowds been as large at other similar shows around the area. In general it was very successful, however. The chairmen for the show — Earl Sheets, Paul Uhrick, Ralph Sauer, and Bill Lose — deserve special credit for the fine job they have done on the third merchant’s showcase. Their hard work has made it easier for those who wanted to see the show, and for those who took part in it. This year’s show even included a tent full of autos and boats behind the center.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Arnold Lundeen, • plainclothes police officer in the New York Bailee 81,000 bribe to arrest Eddie Schrads. a “stand-in” for Irs Miller, a ooikmaker. instead of Miller, and with perjury for denying the bribe oefore a grand jury. Lundeen’s lawyer, Ralph Harlingen, has persuaded private detective Murray Kirk to investigate the case. Murray s reluctance to harm bis good relations with the police department quickly* turns to eager Involvement when he meets Lundeen s fiancee, lovely Ruth VinCe The more deeply Murray falls in love with Ruth, the more eager he becomes to prove that Lundeen is really guilty, that Harlingen is a sentimental fool and that Ruth is mistaken in her choice of a future busband. Murray and Harlingen have rounded up Benny Floyd, a policeman who was patroling the beat with Lundeen at the time of the Schrade arrest, and have learned from him that Lundeen made regular visits covertly to a married woman, Helene. An associate of Murray’s. Bruno Manfredi, has brought in reports on the conspiratorial background of Ira Miller. . . . CHAPTER 10 A MURRAY KIRK waved aside IVI his secretary’s omnipresent pad and pencil “Mrs. Knapp, rd like to make a date with you for tonight," he told her. “How would it be if I picked you up at your place around eight?” "Very flattering. What is it, a subpoena?" •‘No, we won’t be serving any papers. I want to talk to one of the witnesses in the Lundeen case, Ira Miller. This stuff here is Bruno’s report on him. Read up on it when you have time. It’ll tell you as much about him aa I can." “All right. Is this a come-as-you-are?” Murray surveyed her thoughtfully. "Maybe a little less chle would be better. Hardly any make-up. Cotton stockings—" "Good heavens!” said Mrs. Knapp. “Well, you know what I mean. Something a little leas eye-catch-»lng than those. And • sort of maiden-aunt hat, if you can find one." "I think I own. Whose maiden aunt am I,supposed to be?” "Nobody’s. You'll be an old schoolteacher of Lundeen’s — no, we’ll make that a settlementhouse worker who knew him back when, and who just got wind of the trouble he’s in. You simply can't believe it. He was such a nice boy. Now you’ve come to his lawyer to speak up for him and have Insisted on telling Mr. Miller to his face that you’re sure a terrible mistake has been made. How does that sound to you?" "Terribly touching. I'll be ready . at eight," Mrt Knapp said. I • • • • r-v : The building occupied by the Millers was an ornate and weathered pile, a monument to the era when apartment houses were designed to look as much as possible like castles pn the Rhine. Its elevator rose ponderously to a i dismal accompaniment of rattling chains, and the sound of his footsteps along the oonrldor leading to the Millers' door echoed holJswty ta Murray's ears.

completed this week at the Elmer C. Beer 4»rm, Monroe township, and the EHsha Merriman farm in Blue Creek township. A group drainage i,project was also completed on the Hinch surface drain in Preble township. Four open outlet ditches, one surface difch and one tile ditch are currently uhder construction in th edistrict, with the local soil conservation technicians assisting.

COURT NEWS Complaint Case The complaint and cross complaint in the case of Indiana Ohio Pipe company vs Charles E. Hosier was dismissed with prejudice. On a motion by the plaintiff, the

“What’ll you bet," he whispered to Mrs. Knapp, "that whoever answers the bell ia wearing armor ahd canning a halberd?” It was not a knight, however, but a Valkyrie who opened the door. A blond woman in a white uniform. Mrs. Knapp smiled a gently hopeful smile. "I’d like to gee Mr. Miller," she said. “Is he in?" “He is not here,” said the Valkyrie. "Mrs. Miller is here, but she cannot see people. She is sick.” Mrs. Knapp seemed unperturbed. “Oh. I’m sorry to hear that,” she said. "It isn’t serious, I hope.’* "Hilda," said a pleasant voice behind the nurse, “you are being rude, aren’t you ? Do come in, please, you people.” "Mrs. Miller," the nurse said, "why do you walk around? You must lie down and rest.” "I’m tired of resting. I want to have company. Now, do let them in, Hilda, or you’ll spoil everything.” „ When Hilda moved aside in ungracious invitation Mrs. Knapp glanced at Murray, and he nodded. Pearl Miller led them into a living room. "How lovely to have company," she said. "Do sit down, won’t yon? No, not there. Toto uses that, and he sheds horribly. Usually he goes for his walk at bedtime, but he was so pent up today that my husband took him out right after dinner. But they should be back very soon.” Her hand moved vaguely as she spoke, Weaving a slow, meaningless pattern in the air. With a ’sense of shock Murray saw the telltale bandage around her wrist Pearl Miller followed his eyes and stood studying her own upraised arm with a puzzled interest She suddenly dropped the arm and tugged the sleeve of her robe down. “Isn’t that silly?" she said brightly. “I cut myself. It was an accident” Murray clicked his tongue sympathetically. “Would you like some coffee?” Pearl asked. “I’ve been so pleased about your coming to visit that I’ve quite forgotten to be a good hostess." It was a dog that suddenly broke the conversation, a small black poodle that dashed into the room at her, its feet scrabbling cm the hardwood floor, its body wriggling ecstatically. She patted it with one hand while tending it off with the other. "My beautiful Toto," she crooned. “Did you have a good walk?" Then Miller stood there, a triumphant Hilda beside him, looking at them all with slow astoniwfrwMWHt ; /j J “What is this?" Miller said. “Who are you people? My wife’s a very sick woman. She’s not supposed to be seeing anybody.” “Tm not sick!” Pearl said. “You know it was an accident, don't you, Ira? Yon said—* “X know, I know." Idler went to tear, lifted teo dog gently ftan

case of Monroeville Cooperative Equity Union Exchange, Inc., vs L. R. Miller, was set for trial May 18 at 1:30 p.m. A complaint on a note has been filed by the Local Loan Company, Inc., against Larenzo Esparza and Eliza Esparza. A summons was ordered issued to the sheriff of Adams county for the defendants, returnable May 20. The judgment seeks $470.26. Estate Cases A petition by Mae Miller for release of lumber was filed in the estate of Earl A. Crider. The final report was filed in the estate of Floyd Vorhees. A notice was ordered issued returnable June 1. An affidavit for notice of final settlement was filed. Roving Rangers The Monmouth Roving Rangers 4-H club will meet Monday at 7 p. m. in the school gymnasium.

her arms, and handed it to Hilda, who took it with obvious distaste. “It was an accident, but you were all upset after it, and that’s like being sick, Pearlie. Is this the way you take care of yourself? Is that the way you keep your promises to me?” “Let me stay with the company, Ira. Please?" Pearl pleaded. “Some other time. Right now you get to bed and try to sleep. You should have been sleeping all the time I was out.” The nurse led her out the door, and Miner closed it behind them. Murray saw the opening and seized it: “Mrs. Knapp used to work for the Downtown Settlement House, and as a matter of fact, she’s here to help someone she knew there a long time ago. Somebody you know. Arnold Lundeen.” "That cop?" “Yes. Mrs. Knapp was very close to him at the settlement house. When she heard about the trouble he was in she came to me and asked to see you personaHy about it. She’s sure a mistake has been made, and wanted to clear things up." ‘Tm sorry," said Miller, “but I don’t completely understand.” “I’m associated with his lawyer on the case,” said Murray. “My name is Kirk, if you want to check on it. Anyhow, 1 explained to Mrs. Knapp that it’s pretty unusual, this business of coming to you directly, but, as I found out, she can be a pretty stubborn woman." Mrs. Knapp bridled. “I can be, when it’s a case of seeing justice done.” Miller now showed some impatience. “From your angle,” he said, “a cop is somebody who helps you across the street, who’s always Johnny-on-the-spot when some kid gets his head stuck in the subway turnstile. But, lady, that’s because you’re always on the right side of the street Come over to where I was, and you'd have your eyes opened. Whether it’s an apple, or a five-dollar bill, or a thousand dollars, there’s always a cop waiting to help himself. What makes you think this Lundeen lx, any different?" He pulled a handkerchief from his breast pocket and mopped his forehead, which was glistening with sweat “I told the lady what she wanted to know, and that’s it Anything else 1 have to say I say only in court And in case you thihk I’m a little bit dumb about all this, mister, I’ll tell you one thing I worked out all by myself. This lady never got the Idea to look yo« up; nobody goes to such trouble for the fun of it You were the one who pulled her into this.” He brushed aside Mrs. Knapp's protest “I’m not saying everything she told me isn’t true. Fm just saying it’s a shame to drag a nice old lady into this, so you could soften me Up for the trial. I hate to teU you what that makes you lode like, mister." f Otourtnued Tosurrowi
