Europe! Some -hill and Roose

velt (and tnc.t. Brit i.-.li and Americans) were loudly praising the "underground force" in Greece, Beluium. etc.. for their help in ousting the Nazis. But for weeks now, these Greek patriots have been mowed down by British guns. Why? Simply because they demand to choose their iiWn government, and bs free, as the Atlantic Charter said they should be "free, and as our

were iuld to ho.ln dei'ea!

the Nazis to provide this freedom for 'the Greeks, avid all pdoples. But. now? Freed from the Nazis, they u iits I now tight their "liberators" to gain the freedom lor which American, boys are supposedly giving their lives. Is ,'! possible that Stalin has "let up" in his drive against Hitler

eeau.se Communists in ''liber-

i ated", countries have had to lac? 'British guns? Is it also possible 'that the recent serious counter attacks of 1 he German armies have been made possible because Communist elements (who formerly fought Nazis now fear British and Americans more than the defeated Nazis, and have Joined with the defeated Nazis (who can't be a threat to Russia any longer), to push Britain and i America out? Furthermore, is it possible that Russia may join I with a defeated Germany, and

order both Great Britain and the U. S. off the continent? Or, is it

'even possible (and this has been (more than hinted) that Great j Britain will make a separate : agreement with Russia, and let

the U. S. hold the bag? What does all this add up to? Nothing, except this: Something is very wrong at the core of the whole business: somebody has

'lied to the common people, who (have followed with heroism and j courage, and hope. Jesus once 'said, "If the blind lead the blind, shall they not both fall, into the

ditch". I trust Americans shall awaken to the facts before it is too late. Permanent military conscription is a weapon of those who would bring Military Dictatorships to America, as conscription brought those Dictatorships to Europe. I wish every American could

CHAPTEPw TWENTY-FOUR "But you told everybp?!y it was accident . . ." began Soper explosively and Nugent broke in with, "Who shot you?" Craijj closed his eyes wearily. "I could have told you all I knew of it yesterday if I hadn't been drugged so thoroughly." "The girl had the revolver, too!" emphasized District Attorney Soper. "Mr. Conrad Brent wasn't shot," said Nugent. "Craig was shot " "Miss Cable was not here when I was shot," interjected (Jrai. Soper paid no attention to that. He said, "How du we know she's tolling: the truth about the revolver'" "Why did she keep it, in that case?" queried Craijr. "Why, to clean olf her fingerprints! Or perhaps sfie was excited. Left it in her room when she went to get the digitalis and forjrot it. Wc found it; she had to explain it. And also she saw a chance to throw dust in our eyes; to suggest that Crate's accident was attempted murder and thus, that the person who shot Craij; and the person who killed Conrad were the same." "No, no," protested Drue. "1 didn't. I . . ." "I can corroborate Miss Cable's storv of the revolver," I broke in hast'ily. "Or at least part of it," But when I had told them of seeing her return to the house from the di

rection of the garden they were not

very much impressed. "Could you sec what she was carrying?" asked Nugent. "N'n, she was wearing her cape." "So you didn't see that it was a rcolver ?" "Not exactly. It had to be something small." ' But in fact you are not sure she carried anything."

,yLet's get hack to your accident," saiu Nugent abruptly, addressing

Craig. Did somebody shoot you.' If so, what" "This is what happened. I was walking in the garden; it was dark, no 'moon. There was a rustle in

some shrubs. I turned around, thinking it was the dog. I stepped a little nearer the shrubs; anyway, I could see a hand. Barely see it, the

rest was in the shadow; I think

there weve outlines of a figure. And then something hit my .shoulder, as

if somebody hail given mo a kind ot hard ship. I icaii.i d I'd been shot. I think 1 sinned for the shrub; I

must have culled 'for help. I remember stumbling and then that

was all until they were carrying me upstairs. Beeveus and Bete. Then Chivery came. "But I didn't see anybody clearly in the shrub; I just knew somebody was there. I didn't even really see the revolver," he said. "But I imi.'mt that Jli.ss Cable found it and tnat that is the revolver she had' in her room. I asked her to try to find it; 1 had a kind of lucid moment, the way you do when you're drugged. I asked her to look for it. Na

turally I wanted to know who shot me; I wanted the evidence."

Soper s cold little eyes practically ost themselves in suspicious wrin

kles. "That's not Miss Cable's story.

She didn't say you sent her to look for the revolver."

Crai- shot a glance at Drue.

"Didn't she'.'"' lie said imperturhably. "Well, that's the way it was."

Nugent remarked, "The revolver

belonged to your father."

He kept it, said Craig, accept

ing the fact of the revolver's ownership without question, "in the desk in the library. He never locked the

desk; anything valuable he put in

the safe. The safe is behind one

of those panels in the library."

"luu mean anybody might have

taken the revolver," said Soper.

"Obviously." Nugent was looking thoughtful. He said, "Was the hand you saw wearing a glove?" "I haven't the faintest idea. There was only a kind of whitish outline." Soper said, "So you think the same person that killed your father tried first to kill you?" "I don't know," answered Craig. "But I do know Miss Cable was in New York when I was shot." "How do you know that?" "Obviously she wasn't here." Lieutenant Nugent said abruptly, "It's all. right, Mr. Soper. She was in New York; I checked that and the telephone call to the Nurses' Registry olfice." Craig went on quickly, "In any case, it isn't likely that she would

take a pot shot at me one night and

the next night poison my father because she wanted to see me and he opposed it. The motives seem mixed." After a pause, Craig added. "She had no motive to kill my father. She doesn't want to marry me any more than I -want to marry her." "Do you mean to say," asked Soper, 'glancing in Drue's direction, "do you mean to say that if Drue Cable, your former wife, came to you and suggested that you remarry, you. would refuse her?" "At the risk of sounding unchivalrous," Craig said coolly and distinctly, "yes." ' At that point, I declared, "Time's up! The patient must rest." Instantly Nugent stalked toward the door. But Soper said, "Your father was a rich man, Mr. Brent. What are the main provisions of his will?" . ' "You'll have to asli. his lawyer, John Wells. Are you going to release jMiss Cable?" ; " . District Attorney Soper... tutned a line magenta. "Ilcleuse her! No! She stays here under guard or in jail." "But I need her," I said quickly. "I need her to help me nurse Mr, Brent." "You can get another nurse," snapped Soper. "She stays under guard or in jail." ' r . Well, 1 did.'t want another nurse; Anna could give me any help I r.'eded. Nugent drew me into the hall. "Miss Keate," he said in a

low voice, "Who was here in the

hall last night? When something bumped against the door and you went to look?" "Why why, no one! That is, oh, some time (perhaps half an "hour before) I saw Nicky in the hall. But not after the bump on the door. There's a dent here," I put my linger on it and he looked at it. Something very queer in his eyes stopped me. But he said only, "I advise you to tell me. Think it

over, and went away.

When I entered his room again,

Craig was lying with his eyes

closed. Trooper Wilkins advanced a little toward Drue who was still

at the window. "Wait outside," I

told him, and with an uncertain

look he did so and 1 closed the door

after him. "Are they gone?" Craig asked. "Yes." And then I said slowly, "There w-as a glove on the hand, wasn't there?" His eyes ilared open. He looked very straight at me for a long moment. Then he said definitely, "I don't know what you're talking about." ' . Which was about what I might have expected. "All right., I can't make you tell me. But there's one thing you'll have to explain, if not to me," then to the police. You said half asleep yesterday 'there'll be murder dime. Tell Claud.' What did you mean?" He looked at me through halfshut eyes whose expression I couldn't read. And he denied it flatly. "I don't remember it. I could have meant anything. Unless I was referring to the attack upon me. Go ahead and tell the police." "I will," I said. And Drue whirled around. Her hands were double.l up, her crimson mouth tight. "Craig, you needn't have lied for nie!" slie cried. " "I didn't," he said. " ' '' ; ,r "You didn't send me for. the revolver ..."

"Oh," responded Craie.

But the rest of it was the truth, wasn't it? I mean, vou didn'h mm.,

here with the intention of of" he smiled a little, though his eyes were very intent "of a reconciliation? I'm sure you didn't." The smile left his lips, but his eyes were still very intent, watching Drue. "It's something neither of us wants. That's why I told them ..." And at that instant Trooper Wilkins knocked op the door. He looked apologetic when I opened it. But Drue had to go with hira all the same. 'When the door1 closed behind her, Craig closed his eyes and lav very quiet. Eventually I bestirred myself to my duties. Craig was really on the mend, in spite of occurrences which, certainly, were not exactly conducive to convalescence. He was unexpectedly docile, while I gave him a quick sponge balh and an alcohol rub, got him into fresli pajamas and took a look at the dressing on his wound.
