BEGIN HERE TODAY The story opens with a prologue * In which a murder Is committed by a homicidal maniac. Later he boards a train for Long Island, thinking of the ' pleasant week-end he is to have. The name of the murderer is not disclosed. The scene shifts to the Long Island home of LINDA and TOM AVERILL, warned three years and much In love. The AvenUs have five guests fir the , ek-end: COUSIN AMpS PEABODY, elderly, distant relative of Lindas; CAPTAIN DE VOS. handsome Beiglsn representing a European perfume manufacturer with whom Averlll hopes to do business; MR. STATLANDER, middlewestern manager of the firm Averiil works for; MARVIN PRATT, former aultor of Linda’s and LIAN BHAUGKNESSEY. Irish writer on a lecture tour. Ooustn, Amos Immediately makes trouble. He quarrels with Shaughnessey because the Irishman holds liberal political views; plays golf with Statlander and Infuriates hud by criticising his game. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER EIGHT (Continued) “It’s even shorter if you cut through behind the clubhouse and come out by our garage as we often do in the daytime, ’’ agreed Linda. “But that’s rough going at night. Besides, it’s too hot to walk.” “But you can dance all night still, I’m sure—and be as fresh as a daisy at the end of it. Remember —’’ Pratt’s voice lowered, and though Tom heard Linda’s gay little laugh, he did not catch the words which prompted it. CHAPTER NINE t “T CERTAINLY feel a benefactor * A —bringing four presentable, intelligent, unattached men. The women will mob me.” Linda looked around the large, low-lit room opening on the broad veranda—bread as the room itself —which in turn hung over the twinkling lights of several little boat landings and one long, impressive wharf, at which a fine white yacht soberly swayed under the pull of the tide. The words hardly were spoken before events justified her belief in the predatory instincts of ,her sex. Coming firmly toward them was one of . the club’s mast determined hostesses and converging on the party from different sides were two equally militant mammas, while a soft, delicate gurgle of laughter just behind informed Linda that—as usual— Fleur Stoner had outgeneraled them all and reached the goal first. It was hard for Linda, honest as she was, to decide just what she thought of Fleur Stoner. Always she admired the girl’s beauty—and sometimes her nerve. Frequently Linda was exasperated enough to box her ears and on rare occasions, when some audacious bit of selfishness completely outraged , her, she could have seen the beautiful Fleur torn limb from limb without a tremor. This was one of the times when Fleur merely amused her. It was so like the clever, calculating creature to conceal herself on the porch —not to nail them as they entered, but to slip smoothly Into the group so to the approaching hunters she seemed to be a part of it. And her strategy .(Linda knew that Fleur would regard recognition of it as a compliment) brought her, with her low, delicious gurgle of laughter, at the elbow of the Belgian, but also near enough to Shaughnessey and Pratt to cast each a glance which seemed to contain some special, personal message. Just what, neither Could have said, but both immediately reflected their flattered pleasure. Only the completely sophisticated Belgian greeted her with the same even, suave courtesy. If his eyes rested on her a second longer than necessary, with a look that possibly—only possibly—conveyed in his turn

some personal recognition, Linda could not say. She did think that it was only fair that Fleur should be forced to give someone the same tribute of slightly breathless expectancy which her technique elicited from other men. Yes, here was one that was more than a match for Fleur. •s an lINDA’S original group dissolved i rapidly. The Belgian moved away beside Fleur, stunning in that curious olive green gown that by all laws of justice should be so unbecoming to her.

Make Way for Youth —II IF the Republican party in Indiana is to progress and recover from the devastating defeat of a week ago, it must be rebuilt from the precinct up. Merely changing the figureheads at the top is just like putting on a new hat and wearing a dirty shirt, torn trouser's and down-at-the-heel shoes—ho one, especially the independent voter, will be fooled. All the defective superstructure must go—the Robinsons, the Coffins, the Owens, and all that they represent, from the fiery cross to the double cross. The housecleaning must be thorough. But the change can not be made in a minute, or overnight. The first opportunity affords itself next May, when the city primaries are held and city precinct committeemen are elected. The Republicans are in position to. win a portion of. the mayoralites which will be vacant next year. . But this will not be accomplished if men, for example, of the type of George V. Coffin, whose lack of political morality.is a by-word, are permitted to select the candidate and dictate the party policies. 2 2 2 Continuation of men like Coffin means continuation of the leadership which has wrecked the G. O. P. He is, the symbol of a Republican party that is noisome to all who believe in honest, efficient and clean government. First chance for an appeal to the state comes in the campaign of 1934, in which a senator and important state officials will be elected. * The Republican party can not affoad to £0 before the voters with the old set-up, if it hopes to win. There must be a change. That doesn’t mean that the younger element need merely to rise on its hind legs, demand control and expect to get it. The post-war Republican workers can, however, go about making a change through using the advice and counsel of the admittedly respectable veterans of party battles. 2 2 2 Hot-headed youth makes as many errors as moribund and corrupt age. A compromise, a working coalition, should be perfected. Already there is.talk of the senatorship. It is difficult to find any one who is willing to go through a cam-

deed—solemnly foxtrotting with a charming little widow; and Lian Shaughnessey—just what had become of him in the shuffle? ' Oh, yes—Ella Mondell, who should have been his week-end hostess, had pounced upon him as her lawful prey (just like Ella, having ducked the responsibilities, to claim her gliest when he could be useful!) and led him out to the porch where her own party was assembled. That accounted for all of them. With the pleased sensation of a very young mother hen who has Just successfully launched her first brood of chicks, Linda dropped them from her mind and whirled off on Tom’s willing arm. The dance floor was not as crowded as she had anticipated. The cooler, comfortable porches; the long, silent wharf; the lantem-

paign with Senator Arthur R. Robinson heading the ticket. Defeat looms as almost inevitable if he is renominated. And so names of possible opponents are being brought forward. 2 2 2 There is talk of Arthur L. G4lliom, liberal and progressive, the attorneygeneral in 1928, who entered the primary fight against Robinson, and without much organization obtained more Than 100,000 votes. The name of George Berhard, a leading lawyer, is heard, while there are many who would proffer the nomination to Supreme Judge Clarence Martin, defeated for re-election this year, also a liberal and progressive. None has indicated that he cares for the honor. They tell me that Martin and Barnard would like to make a bid for the governorship. a But all these and more realize that a campaign would be a mere waste of time, effort and money if the entire organization is not cleansed. To whom shall the young Republicans turn? is the question. In Monday’s column we’ll consider some of the possible leaders.

THE struggle which American women had to make against custom and prejudices to get their rights as adult human beings recognized is described in engrossing detail in “Earth Horizon,” Mary Austin’s biography. One of the most distinguished of American novelists, Mrs. Austin has written a fine, richly-colored book, and her story of her life is, among other things, the story of the emancipation of American women. Brought up in a small town in southern Illinois, Mr| Austin emerged from her childhood just when the post-Civil war and postpioneer period had reduced middle western life to its most monotonous level. In describing that period, she gives' the background for the woman suffrage movement, the growth of the W. C. T. U., etc. She makes it clear that all of these things stemmed from the fact tliat the woman of her time and place had no rights that any one had to respect and was, by custom and tradition, hopelessly cramped and robbed of individuality. But that is not all there is to this book. All her life Mrs. Austin has been intelligently and earnestly seeking for a pattern in American life, hunting for a soul, a living spirit, behind the familiar routine; and she tells here how she found it, and her book has a mysticism of real beauty and robustness. Published by Houghton Mifflin, “Earth Horizon” is the November choice of the Literary Guild. It sells for $4.

TARZAN THE UNTAMED

Just before dusk, luckily, Olga came upon an open spot in the almost unending bush. Here she decided to camp for the night as the high, thick grass afforded food for her horse, a bed for herself, and, best of there was water.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

lit grass and clusters of shrubbery, each with its hidden bench and lawn chairs: even the cars and a few tied-up launches and other craft proved more alluring to many than the amusement for which they 'had ostensibly come. Save for an occasional “duty dance,” Linda saw little of her guests. Early in the evening Marvin Pratt succeeded in finding her momentarily alone —he evidently preferred not to cut in on Tom—but he very soon yielded her to p. neighbor with no such inhibitions. At any rate, dancing with Marvin was no great pleasure. He was a oonscientious, but not a natural dancer and this evening his formal politeness tried her very soul. At intervals she saw him with Dolly Alger, with Fleur and with different damsels of the. neighborhood. 9

* Her first cfire was for her weary mount. Removing the saddle and bridle, she fed, watered and picketed him foearby. When darkness fclosed in she had a blazing fire and wood enough to keep it burning ah gh±.

They seemed to find him an acceptable partner, if not a thrilling one, and Linda was as well pleased that his few dances with her were of perfunctory shortness. 2 2 2 THE suprise of the evening was the midwesterner. For- all his somewhat forbidding exterior, there was no doubt that Statlander really was fond of dancing. His sense of rhythm was perfect; he indulged in no stunts or flights of fancy. Dancing with him was utter smoothness find delight. Not caring much to talk when she danced, Linda welcomed the unbroken silence. Statlander seemed to put his mind entirely on what he was doing and certainly the results justified it. Nor when they danced together did she detect that aura about him.

Linda, an expert dancer herself, could forgive much to another; evidently he tacitly agreed with her sentiments in the matter. Os De Vos and Shaughnessey she saw almost nothing. A brief turn with the first did not come up to her expectations. Having anticipated dancing with him. she was disappointed to find that they simply did not get along together—amhhe made no attempt to pretend they did. His attention strayed obviously. She would find his eyes always on other women in the room, while he heedlessly guided her about in a mechanical routine. As for Lian Shaughnessey—where, oh, where was he? With carefree disregard of his social obligations. Shaughnessey had disappeared almost at the moment of their arrival.

She knew he had not been on the floor with Ella Mondell or any of her party. His height the mass of dark curls which rumpled over his gray Irish eyes, the disparaging disarming smile which made him look so boyish (and on which she was sure he traded heavily) could not have been hidden even in a more crowded room. He probably had found some appealing companion and now was doubtless comfortably ensconsed in a cool corner of the veranda, in one of the romantic nooks on the lawn or in a gently swaying boat, perhaps, with cushions piled cozily about him. Wherever he was. Linda knew he w’as both physically and mentally at ease. He would display a genius for gravitating to the most delightful corner, the most charming companion. Being normally curious, she speculated as to the location

of the spot and the identity of tho girl, but on her own strolls around the grounds, no enlightenment came. Probably a visiting charmer had the Irishman in tow, as none of the neighborhood belles were missing. 2 2 2 BUT the still, brooding heat of the night had drawn most of tin crowd outdoors. From all over the broad grounds—along the waterfront, on the porch, near the massed bushes—came the tw*ikle of cigaret butts, the flare of matches and lighters, the high laughter of the women, the undertone of deeper voices. It was hard to round up her guests when, at an hour nearer dawn than midnight, the orchestra finished with a flourish and instruments were wearily put away. (To Be Continued)
