With All My Love P>U Mary Raymond

CHAPTER ONE girl with a charming, eager face and rich chestnut hair took her traveling case from a taxi driver and stood holding it until the rattle of the cab died down the quiet street. She thought, looking up at the big, weather-beaten old building in front of her, that it looked very weary, almost as though it were ready to give up. There w'as nothing familiar about it. Nothing even faintly resembling the house of which she had dreamed since she was a child. She had asked the cab driver, puzzled, “You’re sure this is the Cameron home? Mrs. Williard P. Cameron, you know?” “Yes, miss. I know’ the place well.” And so Dana Westbrook had climbed out. And now she stood staring up at the old house supported by immense Corinthian columns that had once been ■white and now w'ere only a dirty gray. Soberly, she picked up her light case and opened the old iron gate, sagging dejectedly on rusty hinges. And then up the long, brick walk from w'hich many bricks w’ere conspicuously missing. A moment later she pulled down the ancient bronze bell. A hollow peal, which she knew must be resounding hideously within, greeted her. The door was opened. Very little at first, as though by a cautious hand. And then wider, permitting the face of an old woman to peep through. She had gray hair, drawn back neatly, and blue eyes that held a hint of surprise in them. it a a IMPETUOUSLY, Dana put down her traveling case. There was a joyous note in her voice: “You’re Grandmother Cameron, aren't you?” “Goodness me, no!” The old lady's voice rose in protest. Then, “Why you must be Dana. Come in, my dear. And where is your grandmother? She went to meet you.” “I don't know. You see I hadn’t the faintest idea what my grandmother looked like. No one seemed to be looking for me, and so I got a cab and came out.” “Yes, of course,” said the old woman, her eyes darting anxiously from Dana to the door. I’m afraid, though, your grandmother won’t like it. You see, in our family we always meet trains. And it is rather a reflection on us that you should come home for the first time in twenty-odd years in a cab.” “For the first time,” Dana corrected her, her eyes dancing in amusement. “Yes. yes. But you are so like your mother—” Suddenly she placed her arms around the young girl, strained her close, and gave her a quick bird-like peck on each cheek. Kisses that were somehow not without warmth. “You’re Aunt Ellen!” Dana exclaimed. "I should have known, because you are exactly as my mother described you to me—only—” “Only older.” The shy blue eyes smiled understandingly. “It doesn't matter if you're sweet,” Dana said quickly. “Thank you, child. There, I hear your grandmother’s car.” Dana heard it, too. It was evidently old. just as everything else around here was. The automobile was making a great deal of noise as it came up the drive. a a a DANA'S heart was suddenly beating much faster. She thought of something her mother had said to her which she had never forgotten. Most people have been frightened by your grandmother. for she is rather a stern person. Dana. But I was never really frightened until —until the last. Because I knew she loved me very much..’ Dana had puzzled over the words (Turn to Page Two I Noted Educator Dead By United Press PHILADELPHIA.

across the continent. The story of Glenn Boldan, who ran away from his home at Motley, Minn., disclosed hardships and dangers comparable to those faced by Arctic explorers. It disclosed, too, the ingenious methods by which he kept himself from dying of thirst and starvation —how he chewed up his cap and ate seeds out of cotton balls he had purchased in California as souvenirs. Many times he lost consciousness and there were many hours for which he could not account. During conscious periods, he sucked ice which he pulled through a crack and vainly tried to attract attention of persons outside the car as the freight rumbled from California to Maryland with its unlucky captive. Trapped on Way Home He was not rescued until the car arrived in Baltimore. “I left my home in Motley. Minn, on Labor Day,” the boy told physicians. “I didn’t want to go to high school. I hopped a freight and landed in Wyoming. There I herded sheep; then hopped another train and went to California. “Finally i got a letter from my sister saying that my father, who had been injured in an accident, was worse. I decided to go home. “Five other boys and I got into the end of the refrigerator car but one night the other boys left while I was asleep, taking all our supplies. Chewed on Shoes “The hatch on the compartment was locked and I couldn't budge it nor attract the attention of any one on the outside. I managed to pull some ice through a crack and suck it for water. “Then I rigged up a tobacco can on a wire and dipped some more water out of the drain trough. But I had no food. “I wet the top of an extra pair of shoes that I had and chewed on them. I chewed my cape and ate the seeds out of some cotton balls I had brought from California for souvenirs. Finally I began to lose consciousness. I would go off and then come back I don’t remember anything for many hours before I was rescued this morning.”

HOARE, EDEN URGE BRITAIN VOTE OIL BAN Latest Italian Peace Terms Also Reported to Be Under Study. HAILE’S -0. K/ NEEDED London Understood Ready to Concur If Selassie Gives the Word. By United Press LONDON, Dec. 2.—The advisability of imposing an oil embargo against Italy was understood to have been urged at a special cabinet meeting today by Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary, and Capt. Anthony Eden, secretary for League affairs. Hoare and Eden were understood to have argued that imposition of the oil embargo would hasten Premier Benito Mussolini’s submission to more acceptable peace terms than he has offered so far. The cabinet was reported to have discussed the possibility that the oil embargo might be delayed if Mussolini halts hostilities in Ethiopia and reopens negotiations with France and Britain on a basis of reasonable conditions. Latest Terms Studied It was surmised that the cabinet discussed Italy’s latest terms fer ending the war, which include cession to Italy of a wide strip of territory linking Eritrea with Italian Somaliland by way of Aussa, Harar and Ogaden, and Italian annexation of territory in northwestern Ethiopia, particularly Kafa. The cabinet was believed ready to concur if Ethiopia assents to the cession to Italy of the region bordering the British Kenya colony, but opposes the surrender of Kafa because it borders the Sudan. It was learned that Britain and France, in the event Mussolini does not come to terms, already have agreed on a common policy in favor of oil sanctions when the committee of eighteen meets on Dec. 12.

Dec. 2.—Tientsin authorities have been notified by the Japanese military of the impending arrival of three divisions of the Japanese army, officials here announced today. Their arrival in one of the great cities of the region where the struggle to establish an autonomous North China continues, will coincide with the arrival at Peiping of Gen. Ho Ying-Chin, Chinese war minister. Ho has been sent, to the ancien; capital by the Nanking government to halt the movement to separate five northern provinces from China, which loyal Chinese insist is Japa-nese-inspired. The dispatch of Japanese troops to Tientsin was interpreted, therefore, as a Japanese announcement that Ho's negotiations would prove futile. Japan Delivers Warning By United Press LONDON, Dec. 2.—Japan is anxious to avoid starting anew naval race, “but if the conference starting on Dec. 9 fails to result in anew treaty we shall have to take steps to safeguard Japan's position.’’ Admiral Osami Nagano, chief of the Japanese delegation to the conference, told the United Press today.

In Paul's home his twin brothers, Bob and Dick, are sure that Santa Claus isn't going to bring them one gift they wanted—a BB gun—and in Shortridge High School Carl Rasor, 16, of 2821 N. New Jersey-st, wonders how "I'll ever do any good in school after shooting out Paul's eye.” a a a THE tragedy occurred Saturday afternoon when young Rasor, using a borrowed BB gun, was practicing his marksmanship in the hopes that he’d earn a pass to a neighborhood movie. The show’s owner had offered passes for youths killing pigeons that were bothering him at his home. Paul, a playmate of the Rasor youth, was walking in an alley between 29th and 30tii-sts as Carl lifted his gun and drew a bead on a sparrow sitting on a fence. The BB shot missed the sparrow, glanced from a garage, and struck Paul in the right eye. Carl aided his buddy home and told his parents that he had shot him accidentally. Hurt by the knowledge that his marksmanship had caused the loss of the eye, Carl today told his parents he didn’t see "how I can do any good in school knowing I hurt Paul.” n a a MRS. RASOR said she had forbidden Carl to have a BB gun. but that knowledge of the offer of free movie passes for pigeons slain had caused her son to borrow the gun from another youth. Today the movie theater owner said that he had given passes to four boys to the show for pigeons slain at his home, but that the Annie Oakley list had been abandoned and the boys ordered not to shoot pigeons after they had fired their guns promiscuously. He said the Rasor boy was not* one of the marksmen. "That was last Thursday I’d ordered it stopped before the accident,” he explained. In the Smith home the youth’s mother said: "It was an accident. Carl didn't mean to do it. The twins, Bob and Dick, have been wanting BB guns for Christmas. They'll not get them. I've never believed in them.” A nurse in St. Vincent's Hospital received an order today from Paul as his condition improved following the operation and that order was: ‘ Tell Carl to come and see me. I know he didn't mean to do it.” GIRL'S CONVICTION AS SLAYER IS ATTACKED Father Had No Right to Punish Her, Is Opinion. By United Press COLUMBUS. 0..

Barrett, still crippled from Federal agents’ shots that pierced his leg-, sat stolidly in court, watching - selection of the jury and listening. His only interest showed when fudge Robert C. Baltzell asked several jurors whether they had scruples against the death penalty. It is expected more than 100 witnesses will be called in the case and the trial will continue four days. Barrett is the first to be tried under an act of Congress that prescribes hanging for slaying of Federal officers. Agent's Widow at Trial Mrs. Catherine I. Klein, widow of 'he agent, and her three children entered the oourt shortly before noon, sitting at the prosecution's table in full view of the prisoner, who sat in a wheel chair. The children are Nelson B. Jr., Richard C. and Barbara Klein. The oldest appeared to be about 8. Members of the jury are: Floyd Cutsinger. 54. Franklin, farmer: Russell Rothrock, 39. Corydon. sawmill worker; Jay G. Hornadav. 60. Daviess County, farmer; Ward Borter, 46, Newburgh, farmer; J. E. Bolander, 54. Connersville, auto salesman; Fred Secrest, 68.

Big Laugh—Not to Barrett Everett Rice, Barrett's counsel, indicated during his juror questioning that the defense would be that Barrett shot in self-defense. Mr. Rice once was admonished by Judge Baltzell for “charging.” instead of questioning, the prospective jurors. While Mr. Rice was explaining failure of two defense witnesses to appear, marshals and several G-men noticed a conspicuous bulge in the vicinity of Mr. Rice's right hip pocket. They talked in whispers and seemed concerned. A recess was called and Julius Wichser, deputy marshal, obtained permission from Judge Baltzell to search the defense counsel. Mr. Rice was accommodating. "Go ahead," he said. Courtroom Heavily Guarded Back in the courtroom Mr. Wichser dutifully searched the lawyer and found that the bulge proved to be nothing more than some bulky documents that Mr. Rice had slipped into the pocket. Tension relieved, every’ on# laughed, including Mr. Rice' The humor of the situation, however, was lost on Barrett. He continued to stare straight ahead. Flanked by three Federal agents the prisoner sat straight in his wheel chair. He was garbed in a gray suit. He wore new slippers. Uniformed police are stationed at the courtroom doors. Besides those guarding the prisoner there were no less than six G-men seated at the government's table, including Herold Reinecke, Indianapolis chief of the Division of Investigation, Department of Justice. Mr. Rice. 38-year-old Hamilton iO.) attorney, is a native of Kentucky and knew, in his boyhood, the Barrett family. They were born in adjoining counties. Also a neighbor of each in childhood was the slain agent. "We will admit the act,” Attorney Rice said, “and vindicate it on the soundest principle known to law-self-defense.” District Attorney Nolan was collected a mass of data on the past life of Barrett which includes records of two trials of Barrett on charges of slaying his 73-year-old mother.
