Later he board* a train for Long Island, thinking of the jaiaaraitt week-end he u to have there. name of the murderer ia not dlacioaed. The scene shift* to the Long laland home of LINDA and TOM AVERILL. married three years and much in love. The Averili* have five guetts tor the elderly, distant relative of Linda - *; CAPTAIN DE VOB. handsome Belgian representing a European perfume manufacturer with whom Averili hope* to do buslneaa; MR. BTATLANDER. middlewestern manager of the firm Averili work* for: MARVIN PRATT, former •uitor of Linda - *, and LIAN SHAUGHNESEY. Irish writer on a lecture tour. Cousin Amos immediately makes trouble. He quarrel* with Shaugbnewev because the Irishman hold* liberal political view*-, plays golf with Statlander and infuriates him by criticising his game. NOW GO ON WITH THE .STORY f CHAPTER EIGHT (Continued) “Why omit your eminent cousin?” inquired her husband caustically. “Surely any one who boasts of his fine physique and muscle and cold baths and such should be able to smash up a little dog—and his precious dignity was badly affronted." Linda was determined not to quarrel. “Perhaps. But remember he went upstairs last night when we began to play bridge and I distinctly heard him snoring—he'd hate to be told he snored, wouldn’t he?— when we came up hours later.” nun TOM relented. “Yes—he has a clear alibi. And, after all, he hasn't the temperament. “A man who won't play cards because it might excite him and start a blood pressure and who can’t get get up late because the early morning hours are too precious to miss —well, I think he misses a lot, but this time he misses being unsuspected.” “Uh-huh. Before we go down, tell me how we’ll divide up to go over to the dance.” “Any way you say, Binks.” “Suppose I take Marvin with me In the roadster and you take the rest in the other car. That all right with you?” , “Perfectly. I’ll go now and tell De Vos about Cousin Amos. He’ll agree to what you’ve planned, I know. “He’s really not so bad, Linda—and no one likes to be called an ungentlemanly foreigner.” “Or a foreign un-gentleman," agreed Linda. “I don’t blame him —though I thought for a moment—well, it’s all fixed now. Tell him he won’t see Cousin Amos again.” “Nobody will and that’s all the party needs to make it a success. I'd just as sopn not see him again myself, but I suppose my duty as host—well, see you later. Here goes for the final peacemaking!” nun ' A S though anxious to make up A to her for the trouble of the day, Linda's guests rallied so delightfully at dinner that she felt a surge of confident relief. Her confidence lasting, she ran upstairs after dinner and stopped at her cousin's room in a mood so cheerful that she had to conceal it out of consideration of his supposedly unsettled health. “Sure you don't mind my leaving you, Cousin Amos?” “Not at all, my child, not at all. I should hate to feel I was interfering with your pleasure.” “The maids go upstairs about tlgis time or a little later,” supplemented Averili, coming to stand by Linda in the doorway. “But if you call Rosie, she’ll hear and get you anything you want. I hope you’ll be quite comfortable.”

“ Not only comfortable—content.” Prom the table on which stood a glass of water and a dish with apple, fruit knife and serviette neatly laid out. Cousin Amos ostentatiously picked up a copy of t Marcus Aurelius”—and then started slightly. Leaning forward, he threw a silk handkerchief negligently over a larger book beneath the .leatherbound classic —a trifle too negligently, thought Linda, whose shrewd suspicions pointed to something sprightly in the v/ay of modern fiction. “He is rather an old dear,” she murmured at the stair head, and then frowned and laughed. “Tom, do you hear that? The moment our backs were turned, he opened that casement window on the balcony! I especially asked him not to. I might have known he wouldn’t give up so easily!” “Your ears must be pointed!” exclaimed her husband. “Why wasn't it any one opening any window?” “I know the particular grunt and squeak chat darned thing gives when it’s forced. Well, I hope it doesn’t blow up a rain tonight. “It won’t stay closed—and he’ll have to listen to it squeak back and forth all night! Then he’ll wish he hadn’t!” As they started dawnstairs, Linda heard the door opposite Cousin Amos’ room open and knew that Marvin was just behind them. At that second the old man called. “Mr. Pratt! Mr. Pratt!” and the steps paused at his door. “What do you suppose Cousin Amos wants of him?” she reflected. "Well—he knows we’re waiting.” nun BUT several moments passed and Marvin did not come. Once Linda called up to him. a light yet definite summons meant as a hint to Cousin Amos, whose voice went prattling on, the words unheard, but the tone as usual bland and deliberate. She received no answer. “Oh,

Make Way for Youth WHILE the Democrats fight for places around the patronage trough, serious-minded and progressive Republican leaders of the state are discussing anew deal. They demand a place in the party councils for the younger element which has grown up since the war and has been doing the hard work without either reward or * opportunity. Just as when in 1898 Albert Jeremiah Beveridge, young and enthusiastic. astounded the veterans by grabbing the senatorship and thus ushered into power his young associates, which in turn culminated in the Progressive movement of 1912, so do post-war Republicans await a dynamic leader to point the way to their political promised land. The Democratic veterans surrendered without any fight to the younger element of their party in the 1930 convention and campaign, for they knew that the old order was passing. And because of this wise course, their party today is one of youth, yet one in which the veterans are welcomed for advice or counsel. Read the roll of the new leaders—all come from the post-war period: McNutt, Taggart, Peters, McHale, Simmons, Swaim, McKinney and so on and on.

Pratt!” shouted Tom after another short wait, and this time Marvin’s call of “Coming in a moment!” gave them hope. . The murmur of Cousin Amos' voice stopped abruptly. They all heard an angry exclamation and then the other man’s voice, curt, brief, emphatic. Cousin Amos broke in in reply and then in the middle of a measured sentence a door slammed violently and Pratt appeared at the top of the staircase where he stood silent, breathing a little quickly, “Come on!” urged Linda. “We’re all ready, Marvin!" For a moment he did not move. Then, without answering, he came downstairs, face set, eyes dropped, and thrusting clenched hands into his pockets as he reached the lower steps. “Whatever—” began Linda. Then common sense stopped her. It was no business of hers. Evidently Marvin was upset, but was doing his best to conceal it. The others, shepherded out by Tom, seemed to notice no difference in his manner. “You’ll ride with me in the flivver,” said Linda, being very cheerful and gay. “Tom will take the others. You're my special guest tonight.” “Oh—yes?” he answered with a curious inflection and followed the question, after a second, by an equally strange little laugh. “Your —husband permits?” “Don’t be a goose!” Linda slammed the door on her side viciously. “Marvin, you’ve better sense than that!” “And you consider yourself safe from the contamination of my presence?” nan “T\ArARVIN, what on earth’s the IVJL matter with you?” Linda was frankly astonished. ‘For heaven’s sake, get over it, whatever it is. We invited you to visit us and we’re glad you came. “Now, if you remember, we’re go-

The senator-elect, Frederick Van Nuys, is one of the young group, although he is the veteran politician and leader in their counsels. For never has Van Nuys been one of the old guard. Always he has been found allied with the progessivism of the party. Through the years which have elapsed since the days of Marshall and Ralston he has been the link which bound the old and the new together and despite the fact that his political career is of thirty years vintage, Van Nuys today is numbered among the young group and they look to him for the advice which, although enthusiastic, is tempered with sound political wisdom gleaned by experience. The Republicans, on the other hand, are not so fortunate. Jut as the old bulls of a herd butt back the forward youngster, so Senator James E. Watson, ex-Gov-ernor James P. Goodrich and Will H. Hays constantly have refused to recognize youth or admit it to their councils. So this debacle of a week ago, which must herald a change in Republican management, find few if any of the party youngsters with sufficient experience to take charge. u u u The younger group in Lake county demands an immediate change of state committee personnel, a “new deal.’* But they have no one to offer, although friends of John Scott of Gary, First district chairman, and a post-war figure, are proffering him for an important position, probably the state chairmanship. Ivan C. Morgan, incumbent chairman, is determined to hold on and, under the rules, no reorganization of the committee can be made until after the primaries of May, 1934. The present slate committee, however, can change chairmen, but all of Morgan’s efforts will be extended to thwart such movement. And many of the younger crowd feel that they may as well suffeT him until 1934, during which time new leaders can be groomed. But the situation calls for more than a shift of chairmen. And what this is will be discussed Saturday, in this column.

ing to a party. I want you to enjoy yourself and I intend to enjoy myself. Now—which of the charming ladies that - were here last night will be your first partner at the dance?” ‘I don't know—l hadn’t thought.” His voice sounded sulky, but more natural. In spite of her brisk dismissal of his question. Linda was still dazed by its unmistakable bitterness. First she had thought Marvin was hinting that Tom might be jealous Tom jealous of him, indeed! A wonder the man wouldn’t use his eyes. But that last heavily sarcastic bit about the contamination of his presence was off at a tangent. Perhaps he was just trying his hand at repartee. Marvin was certainly not cut out for the light and amusing. Well, he was talking “—your hus-

I love to say that—i it seems so positively elderly.”

He laughed outright. “And by that count, I’m going on my first half-century. You remember I have several years your advantage” “Uh-huh. Hardly any. it seems now. But when I first knew you: —oh. the difference between 16 and 23” “Were you really such a kid? Heavens, as I look back, you were more grownup then than now.” “You certainly haven’t changed much. Marvin. But then you always were a grownup, solemn sort of person.” “Yes.” He moved restlessly. “But you’ve rubbed that in a good deal. Linda.” “Oh. sorry—!” She hadn't realized he could be sensitive about that holdoffish, stiff manner of his. “I haven’t meant to. Just the hangover from feeling so very young and'

I must have treated you then as if you were—oh. fully as old as Cousin Amos and far more honorable.” “Oh!” She could not analyze the tone of the exclamation, but again it brought a sense of discomfort. “Is —is your cousin a very old man. Lida?” “Not so very.” She determined to go on speaking lightly. “That is, not so awfully, really old. He likes to be thought old. so he can be thought young, if you see what I mean. “He’s—oh. middle 60’s, I suppose. You'd think him 80—75 anyhow—the way he boasts about cold baths and golf and the younger generation. By which he means us, not the generation we mean when we say ‘young.’ ”

SHE had rattled on because—or did she only fancy it—there was something ominous about the silence of the man beside her. Now what had Cousin Amos done to him?—the one person she had thought spared annoyance by the exasperating old man. They had turned into the club grounds and came to a neat stop just as the man’s silence threatened to become strained. Tom swung the larger car into place beside hers. Pratt just had time to help her out, then held the door of the sedan for the others. “We do get lazy nowadays.” He seemed to make a deliberate effort to be pleasant and Linda decided he was conquering the sulks. “That's just a step rfom your place, Averili. A few years ago we’d have thought nothing of a five-minute walk down the road.” (To Be Continued)
