The name of the murderer Is not disclosed. The scene shifts U> the Lons Island home of LINDA and TOM AVEHILL married three years and much In love.* Linda announces that Instead of three tuests over the week-end they are to sii vs . be: OOUBIN AMOS WAODY. elderly, distant relative of ri".

STATLANDER. mlddlewestern manager of the Arm Averlll works for; MARVIN PRATT, former suitor of Linda’s whom she has 2ShJE?. n .-£2r several years, and LLAN BRAUOHNEBBEL, Irish writer on a lecture tour. Immediately there Is trouble. Cousin Anjo*. srows ansrv at Btinlv. a faithful old watchdog. At dinner he quarrels with Bhaughnessev and calls him s dsngerous rebel for defending Oandhl’s work In India. Both men show violent tempers. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER POUR (Continued) Across from Marvin ,was the Irishman. A contrast if ever she had seen one! In that mobile, charming, graceless face, she read no hint of discipline or will. Weak he must be with that chin nd those lovely, poinded fingers. Delightful, alive, entertaining, he undoubtedly was, Judging from the chorus of encouragement with which his simplest sallies were greeted. Even Tom was forgetting his responsibilities in charmed delight over the great overgrown boy of a man. Linda wondered what he’d been talking about to bring to all those faces that look of amusement, enchantment, surprise. m m NOW the tossed ball of conversation had been flung the length of the table and all were keeping it in the air. Africa—curious that that one word should prove ,the one to set them afire! She caught herself back. Mr. Btatlander held the floor. She would not repeat her earliest mistake. He was fairly*launched on a travelog. Linda suspected that the man had no small talk; with him it was the center of attention or nothing. Bhe followed him to India and there the Irishman suddenly cut in with an apostrophe to Gandhi and what seemed the start of a hymn of praise to all rebels, leaders, and prophets of the rights of submerged peoples. , “Now the fat is ln the fire!” breathed Linda. A look of despair flashed between her and her husband, as Cousin Amos, ominously clearing his throat, plunged with scandalized conservatism into the very heart of a glowing period. “Right-thinking people” Linda recognized the pompous phrase and as from a distance heard Cousin Amos call upon all the gods of stability and established order. He paused not for a reply, because he was not conscious of there being any to make. He was not discussing. With definite, unequivocal clearness he was reproving this impertinent upstart. All of Cousin Amos’ limited experience had confirmed his belief in his own rightness and that of the opinions to which he had been born. Now Shaughnessey had sinned doubly in his choice of enthusiasms and in assuming that others shared them. Linda winced as Cousin Amos expressed the contempt of the Brahmin for the outlaw. If ever she went Bolshevik, she often had thought, his would be the responsibility. He could not be said to be intolerant of thought more liberal than his own. He simply wiped all shades of it out of existence. r n , T_TIS offense was not lessened by Xi the fact that he once called the other “Mr. Shanahan’’ and twice

“Mr. O'Shea,” nor that he brought his discourse to a close by stating firmly: ‘ln fact, my dear sir, your comment shows clearly an undisciplined and confused mind—exactly the mentality, I may say, which has demanded that the immeasurably superior Anglo-Saxon race exert a salutary supervision over the childishly incompetent peoples—for their own good, needless to say, for their—” “For their own good, is it?” roared the Irish giant, unable apparently to endure Cousin Amos’ trick of climactic repetition. “And what do you say to massacring rivers of blood and innocent children murdered in their beds and starving—” “I say nothing, nothing,” said Cousin Amos primly. “In fact, I decline to discuss such absurd generalities with one incapable—” But his voice was a feeble wailing on the wind, for his opponent had paused for no reply to his rhetorical question. Recovered from his first shock, Lian Shaughnessey plunged with gusto into the battle. Logic he had none nor, Linda observed, any more tolerance than Cousin Amos. But the sweep of his rich vocabulary and his poetic fervor—to say nothing of a voice which under the stress of excitement rivaled the Bull of Bashan’s—swept the discussion from

Responsibility F FRENCH LICK SPRINGS HOTEL, Nov, 14.—How to get rid of a man whose term doesn’t expire for a couple of years is one of the major problems confronting Gov-ernor-Elect Paul V. McNutt, here conferring with leaders on questions of patronage and means of carrying out Democratic pledges. One of the most important questions is that involving personnel of the public service commission. In his campaign addresses, McNutt pledged that if elected one of his first moves would be to boot out the commissioners. Under the statutes, however, a commissioner serves his four-year term and may be removed only “for cause.” Os course, in the opinion of the majority of utility consumers of Indiana, there has been sufficient cause, but ousting by such methods is a long and tedious process and eventually would be carried to the courts. Terms of two members expire May 1. They are those of the chairman, John W. McCardle, Republican, and Jere West, Democrat. Two others have commissions which will expire May 1, 1935. Harry K. Cuthbertson, Democrat, and Howell Ellis, Republican. The fifth member is Ralph Young, Republican and intimate of Governor Harry G. Leslie, Young’s term terminates July 1, 1936. It is not so difficult to wait until May 1 and replace McCardle and West, but the longer waits are those which worry McNutt’s advisors, they tell me. Inasmuch as both the auditor and the treasurer of state are Democrats and close to the Governor-elect, it would be a simple matter to refuse to honor or issue vouchers to the commissioners. But such procedure would mean lengthy litigation and meanwhile, they would continue in office.

his own restless island straight across Europe to the no less restless East. By sheer spate of words he might have won, had he not been so unwise as to quote disparagingly a supposed official order to English troops ln India. m m TNSTANTLY he met flat contradiction from Statlander, speaking with the curt brevity of a military officer to an inferior or of a schoolmaster—and a bad-tempered one—to the class dunce. The direct challenge of personal knowledge (the man did seem to know India and recent happenings there!) might have checked Shaughnessey had not his temper been lashed so high. Undaunted, he took on this new opponent, roaring down with fiery invective the rain of concrete facts with which the middle westerner assailed him. At last Marvin Pratt, whose gathering frown had been turned first toward one contestant, then to the other, broke in with the skill of a trained speaker and, after a moment of out-roaring each, managed to win momentary silence and skirted the political issue neatly, focusing attention on an anecdote of the Khyber Pass and his own experiences in the Himalayas.

The easier method and one which McNutt is assured would succeed because of the topheavy majority in the legislature, would be by a bill amending the public service commission law so it would provide that the “Governor may remove on cause or AT WILL.” nun The amendatory measure could be made an emergency bill, which became effective as soon as signed by the Governor, and McNutt then immediately could dismiss the members. In support of such action, it must be remembered that the Governor appoints the members of the commission, and that he must and should share responsibility for their decisions in rate cases. If their rulings are anti-consumer, then the Governor and the party which made the appointment should be made to shoulder all the blame. The only way to fix such responsibility is by having each new Governor appoint the personnel of the commission.

TTITO? AW BY BRUC£ CATTQN JOHN BROWN was perhaps the strangest character America has produced. He was a combination of murderer, saint and lunatic. He died on a scaffold, and in two years soldiers marched to war singing about him. . He needs to be dealt with not so much by historians as by poets, “God’s Angry Man,” by Leonard Ehrlich, is a novel built around John Brown’s life, and it is an amazingly good one. It picks him up in Kansas, where Brown got the mad idea of killing pro-slavery men as a part of his program to free the, slaves. It tells of the wild turmoil of those bloody border fights and shows how the old man developed his plan to invade the southland and set up a state of freed slaves who would be given their just dues by a weird combination of bloody murder and primitive Christianity. Then it follows the fateful doings which led up to.the utterly hopeless raid on Harper’s Ferry. Mr. Ehrlich turns John Brown into a real human being; he makes him understandable, makes you sympathize even while are shaking your head at his folly. You feel the terror, the pity and the suffering the man’s career involved; they become real to you; you live, for the moment in those dreadful days. “God’s Angry Man” is by all odds the best new novel I have read in two years. It is published by Simon & Schuster, and is priced at $2.50.

TARZAN THE UNTAMED

Tarzan haunted Red Headquarters, hoping to find the beautiful spy again. Always he managed to inspire terror in the hearts of the Red troops. Days passed and the Rhodesians at last opened a breach in the enemy's lines.

. THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tom deferentially asked Statlander for the exact height of a newly discovered peak and the bait worked. Peace was established and Linda felt rather weak. “Why will Cousin Amos start setting people right on the provocation?” she thought, remembering similar unhappy occasions. “However, both these men egged him on. “First I thought they all had travel in common and now I can add something else—a terrible temper.” urn* THEN she remembered that one voice remained unheard. She turned, half-laughing, to the man on her right. He was looking not at her, but at the still smoldering combatants, and utter contempt, unmasked, etched his finely cut features into repellant .harshness.

The information Tarzan gave Colonel Capell enabled them to clear the left flank trenches of the Reds’ native soldiers. Retreating now, the enemy was desperately contesting every mile of the railway to Tanga. t

Feeling her glance, he turned, but without attempting to wipe from his face that contemptuous look. He must assume her agreement in all that it said of her guests. His nod included with equal scorn the oratorical Cousin Amos, slightly miffed and now limiting his audience to his dinner partner, and the Celt whose once ingratiatingly boyish face had gone white and bitter with the temper of his argument. “Over things lower than human,” said that gentle, slightly accented voice beside her, its quiet syllables dripping like ice into her brain. “These—animals—serfs—in India. I have seen them!” He shrugged. “Their rights! England is too kind. They did things better in our colonies—before the war—in Africa!” What did he mean? The Belgian Congo? From Linda’s childhood flashed a sudden memory of hor-

ror . . . the rubber country . . . slavery . . . unspeakable torture . . oppression beyond bearing. That was her charming Continental! She repressed a shiver. As much as the violent anger of those heated quarrelsome men she would fear this man’s cold, deadly composure. CHAPTER FIVE SURE in the knowledge that the new lavender sports frock was a triumph of sophisticated simplicity, that her mellow tan brought out bewitchingly the blue of her eyes and the bronze lights of her hair, and feeling decidedly refreshed by a good night's sleep, Linda stepped with lilting freshness down the broad, polished stairs. The air was fragrant of freshroasted coffee within the house and mingled flowers and sea without.

Since that memorable night Tarzan had Mysteriously dropped among them, the 2nd Rhodesians had seen nothing of him. Some officers believed him dead within the enemy’s lings. "I’ll wager they never captured him alive.” said one.

Bhe hoped none of her guests were before her. / , She had arranged for trays for the two Europeans; the others had assured her they would descend for breakfast. At any rate, Tom was down to do the honors until she arrived. At the bottom of the winding flight she suddenly saw her husband and his expression annihilated in a second her carefree morning mood. Before Linda kneew how she got there, she was beside him and had her hand on his arm. “Tom—what is it? ,Bingo?” "No. Oh, no. honey—not the kid. Sorry I scared you!” “What has happened?” “Poor old Bunty—” “Oh!” Linda's eyes filled with tears. “Died in her sleep, poor old dog. Well—we didn't expect— ’’ Tom looked at her, hesitated, then spoke reluctantly.

“No—Bhe didn’t die in her sleep, Binks. Don't raise a row, though, of course, you wouldn't ” “Tell me quick—some one’s coming!” “She was killed during the night. Out on the lawn toward the garage.” “Tom! The poor old dog! Where is she?” His jaw set. “Where you won't see her. Linda. Sorry, but you mustn’t—oh. good morning, Mr. Statlander! I hope you rested well last night. Glad we have such clear weather for the Fourth.” He was talking, Linda knew, to give her time to recover herself and in a moment she was able to echo mechanically his pleasant banalities.

Nor had they! Tarzan spent that time profitably gathering details concerning the enemy’s strength and troop location. Meanwhile, in various ways, he successfully harassed them and slowly lowered their morale.
