Capehart was seated in the U. S. Senate Wednesday there is no further reason to believe that there was any foundation for the Democratic claims that the recent election was won l,v the G. O. l only through disfranchisement of thousands of Democratic voters. Some G. O. P. writers have gone so far as to claim that the entire investigation is over, that nothing to support claims of cheating or irregularities was found, and that we should forget the whole thing. But James A. Emmert, Republican attorney general of Indiana, lias asked that the people not forget that he issued a political telegiam dining the last moments of the campaign which had considerable bearing upon the election, lie has also asked that on one forget that if lie had it to do over, lie would do it again. There are- some people in Indiana who have taken Emmert at his word and do not intend to let the people forget. L Jt may be of interest to point out that while Capehart was granted a seat in the Senate, Jmi.-O, the Senate leaderjMiip took precautions to protect the upper house of Congi ess against possible complications if it develops later that 1 hey want to lemove the Indiana juke-box manufacturer and gentleman farmer. Under the ''without prejudice" action of Hie Senate Capehart now could be ejected by a majority vote of the Senate. Except lor the unusual action taken at the lime he. was seated, it would have tequired a two-thirds vole to expel him. T While Capehart was being seated "without piejudi'ee to the Senate'' the investigation of the Indiana election contrary to must published leports. was going right along. Attorney ,-nunes Hi ties, of the Green committee investigating staff, aided, by three cleiks employed by the Senate committee, (wa.s busy continuing the work of checking the voteis' regist'atron records in the off;ce of the Marion county clerk. The investigation has shown that Demociats weie purged at a ratio of moie than nine to one. At the time this was written, the in vest ig.-iticn was still going on and there was no indication it would end until the work is completed. We make no predictions as to the outcome. We only know that the probe is not completed.

HAS HINT FOR .SHOE SHOPPERS LAFAYETTE, Incl., Jan. 10. There is something new in shoes. says Miss Met a E. Martin, Pur(.re Ov.ivemty ex tendon clothing specialist. It is the wider use of oil or wax treatment of shoe soHs. This treatment increases the durability of many grades of suit: leather, so the shoe-shopper will bo wise to look-tor .-jad request shoes with treated soles. The oil or wax treatment may be identified chiefly by the color of the soles. The difference between the looks of treated and untreated soles is in the color. Trolled ones are darker or "richer" looking. Shoe clerks will also be able to furnish the customer with information about the shoe soles and their treatment. Oil treatment of leather soles has been used by some manufacturers for a number of years and hu,s been used on shoes for the armed fortes. It consists of dipping the soles into oil from fifteen to thirty minutes until it is throughly absorbed by the leather. Then the soles are removed from the oil and allowed to- dry The cost lias been estimated at approximately two cents for a pair of shoes. Many ML J.

tests have indicated that the treatment increases the durability of soles substantially. The -sxact amount of improvement depends upon the oil used and the grade of leather. In .general, the poorer grades of leather increase the rnof.t in durability. Wax treatment is used on soft and rponsy leather that does not respond to the oil treatment. This also increases durability of the soles at a cost of around three cents a puir. Shoes with these treated soles art- just beginning to appear in retail stores in greater numbers. They can be found on men's, boys', children's junior misses" and welt typos of women's walking shoes. I'LEASANTVILI.E Dinner guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Cox , were Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Brown.

J CHAPTEE SEVENTEEN "Noise? What was it?" ques-! iioned the Lieutenant. "I don't know. It sounded as if the house was coming down." 1 was anxiously making a clean breast of everything I could and hoping desperately to divert his inquiry from Drue. "Peter Huber. ran upstairs to see what it was. I ran after h'm, but when I got upstairs he had disappeared and I was afraid that that something had happened to my patient ..." ''Something had happened to him? What do you mean?" ' ."N-notliing. Naturally he was on niy'miiid. And I w: right, because when I got to his room he wasn't there. Miss Cable had found him, though; he had apparently got up and put on a dressing gown nnd started downstairs and fallen. We got hira back to bed." "Where was he when you found him?" J told him briefly. v "But I thought he was drugged." "He was," said Dr. Chivery suddenly. "He is. But nothing is so variable as a drug plus a bit of temperature with a man like Craig. Ho probably got some fuzzy notion of something going on and fainted on the way downstairs." The Lieutenant (Nustent his name was, I learned later; just Nugent; if he had a Christian name he kept it a secret) looked at Claud Chivery. "Ho had, had a quarrel with his father, hadn't hc,Doctor?" Dr. Chivery looked up quickly and uneasily; he looked terribly tired, his eyes swollen and the nervous lines deep and gray in his troubled face with its receding chin. "Why why, no," he said. "That is, in the past perhaps, yes. But not . . ." "You'd better know, Dr. Chivery, just where we stand," said Nugent, suddenly. "You and everyone, here told me a story about that shooting 'business the other night that frankly, Doctor, was phony." "Lieutenant Nugent . . ." began Claud Chivery, rising indignantly. "WeJI, it seemed so to me. But, as things were, my hands were tied. If Craig Brent died I intended to start an investigation into murder . . ." "Murder . . ." stressed Dr. Chivery in a liih protesting voice, his little hands tremulous.' "... if he didn't die I intended to insis. upon his preferring charges. But yesterday, while be was so hsavily drli.wd as to be entirely :oneon.eious, -there was nothing I could do. I eouldn't even question him. Now, you see, 1 m going to. "But but it wasn't Craig that died. It's Conrad " "Exactly," said Lieutenant Nugent, cutting off Chivery's fluttering expostulation. "Could '., Craig Brent have walked down here, to the library, poisoned his father , and walked back upstairs and collapsed there in the storeroom . . ." "Linen room," I said. ". . . where he was found?" "I'oi&niiod!" cried Chivery shrilly, his uneasy face turning gray. "That's horrible! I tell you Conrad died a perfectly natural death.

do an autopsy. And your medical examiner can help me. But mark my words we'll find he died of a heart attack and anyway . . ." his nervous eyes darted about the library, toward the desk, toward the sofa, anywhere but at the Lieutenant. "Anyway, Craig shot himself! Accidentally. Why even you cannot believe that there are two murderers here in this h juse ..." "Unless Craig she):, himself for that very reason," suggested Lieutenant Nugent waiching Chivery's frightened, uneasy faea. "Shot himself -oh, J see! To make it look as if somebody else tried to kill him and the.; succeeded in killing his father? 'lv establish a kind of alibi before Ve deed? Why, that's preposterous.. Lieutenant! That's absurd! Ha, ha, ha," again it was meant to be u laugh and sounded like anything else in the world. And I said, "But he does have an alibi. Craig, I mean. I am it." Both men looked at me. "I was in the room. I would have known if he had moved. He didn't." There was a moment of silence. Chivery hadn't looked quite at me, just at my left ear. Nugent jerked his head toward one of the two waiting and intently listening policemen. "Telephone Dr. .Alarrow," he said. "Get him over here at once." One of the troopers vanished. Claud Chivery said slowly, "Conrad must have just got back' from his walk, lie went for a walk every night. About eleven. Said it made him sleep. Walked very stowly . . ." Nugent said abruptly, "That's all now, Nurse." He was bending over Conrad again when I left, trying not to run. No one was in the hall. Dr. Chivery, 1 think, closed the door behind me. At the stair landing I stopped, looked quickly around, saw no one and plunged my hand under the ferns. The syringe was not there. I looked and looked and still it wasn't there. The only possible conclusion was that someone had seen me hide it and had taken it away. There's no use in trying to describe my felings. Naturally, it wasn't iv .;'lf I cared about; it was Drue, 'nTHim I had delivered into the hands of her enemies if, that is, Alexia or Nicky had taken - the syringe. Or even Maud; there was a look in her dark eyes that suggested depths and no way to xeii what kind of depths. All three of them Alexia. Nicky end Maud had passed that fern on their way upstairs; Peter Huber also could have taken it. Or Beevens, presupposing eyes in the back of his head, for he certainly had not turned while I hid it. The library door was visible from the landing, and it had been open when 1 came downstairs; but 1 had I seen no one, for i had looked".' Eventually, hearing steps coming from the end of the hall beyond the stairs (where there proved to be a tiny telephone room, and a hall jjoing to the back stairs and kitchen regions) and guessing correctly that it was a trooper. I had to give up. I trudged up the remaining DODD BRIDGE Mr and Mr.'-. Flovd Hardy and daughter Mr and Mr Durham Foutz and sou, nn.l M '.'and '7r.s.

stairs with a heavy and a troubled heart. Drue was sitting by the bed when I entered Craig's room; her eyes' leaped to mine. Craig was asleep, I thought; his pulse was all right; the wound hadn't opened and she had sterilized and dressed the bloody bruise on his temple so a neat patch of surgical dressing and adhesive adorned it. I beckoned Drue into the dressing room and told her everything, except that the syringe was gone quickly whispering, hating to see the color drain out of her lips. Her hands went out to grip mine, hard. "Sarah, do they know 1 . . "No. I hid the hypodermic. I didn't tell them that you were there before me. I oh, my dear child, don't look like that. You didn't mean it . . ." "I gave him digitalis. Sarah, I had to. He was sick. His medicine was gone. I thought he was dying. I hurried to my room and I had some digitalis. I had it left over from old Mrs. Jamieson remember, we nursed her together ..." I nodded. A nurse either destroys or hoards for an emergency drugs that are left over from a case and I had nursed old Mrs. Jamieson with her. Every , nurse, I imagine (at least I always had done so) accumulates slowly a kind of lirst-aic, emergency kit of her own. I had then in my bag enough sedatives to bring upon me the highly unfavorable attention of any policeman who happened to discover it. "So you gave it to him?" "Yes." There was horror in iier eyes. "You see, I'd been talking to him. Then he ... I saw he was really sick. lie said to get his medicine; he gasped horribly. He told me where it was, but I remembered. He's always kept it there in the right-hand drawer of his desk. I looked and it wasn't there'so I . . ." "You opened the drawer?" "YTes, of course." (I thought, then, of fingerprints; yet Drue's fingerprints on the drawer couldn't be made to prove anything. Or could they?) She went on quickly: "But there was no box of pills. Then he beg-ged nie for something; said even if I hated him I'd have to help him, and I 1 got my syringe from the bag in my room. I sterilized it quickly with alcohol and prepared the hypodermic and hurried back to the library. He rolled up his sleeve himself and told me to hurry. So I did. I gave him what I thought was the rij?ht amount . . ." "How much?" She told me. I nodded. Conrad hadn't taken any of the pills he had ready for emergency during the few moments that he was alone while Drue was preparing the hypodermic. That was obvious, for if he had done so he wouldn't have permitted her to give him the additional inedicine. "Go on," I said. "That's all, Sarah. He . . " She took her hands from my wrists and put them to her throat. "He died. Then. Just just died and 1 couldn't stop it." (To be continued) ftiwrlk-lu Uy Mli-'non G.
