GALLANT RESCUE ON LUZON Rescue of 510 prisoners, mainly Americans who had

undergone grim hardships and tortures since their capture

on Hataan ami Correrdor in the spring oi WVYL, has thrilled American hearts more than any heroic war incident since the relief of trapped paratroopers in Holland, and, those troops surrounded at Hastogne. The rescue 'oh- Luzon lias overtones of drama and pathos which distinguish it, however, from any similar exploit during the present conflict. Its scenes in a movie script would have been criticized by .realists as farfetched and melodramatic. Commandos arrive just as bedtime, while stupefied prisoners fear at first it is a Jap trick to put them to death anji then comes full realization of the good fortune which has befallen them! Nor could there have been a more perfect climax than presentation of the flag of the gallant 26th cavalry which fought oh Rataan. by six Yanks to General Griswold. This emblem of American heroism never had been surrendered. .Preserved fittingly enough through the aid of Filipinos, it was carried later by a band of Irli-dwelling- guerrillas ' commanded by a Yank. MacArthur may be a hard-boiled commander but he manifestly is sentimental. Though hardened by three years of grim warfare, he was deeply touched by the entire episode and ordered decorations at once for the commando group which effected the rescue.. Every American understands his deep feeling and approves the decorations.

The speed of light, we ae now told, is not as rapid as astronomers once thought. But the' motorst trying to get through on the green before it turns red will dispute that.

Residents of the town, which new boasts a population of approximately 2,7(10, have been clamoring for ,scll' government for several .months, and a number of open meetings have already been held. The town has been divided into five wards or districts, and a temporary sevenman government board has been appointed. It was this board that

e-'.'tnpicted arrangements with ! Depot officials lor the election.

Originally Crane was a Federal Honshu; project, but on December t. J1I44, it came under vhe I supervision and control of the IS'nvy, Since that time several improvements have been made, . including the establishment of police; and Fire Departments. Equipment has been procured for a dental office, which will open soon. Plans for' extensive street improvements and the installation of a street-lighting system ,are being studied by Depot offi- , dub. A landscaping project will be carried on later in connection with a general landscaping project planned for the ontire Depot area. Arrangements have also been .made for a well-rounded summer .playground and recreation program, which will function under the supervision of a committee headed by Frank Arnold. This program will feature Mipervised 'play for children of all asjes, Suoplemented by soltball, baseball and other .sports for the grownups.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX The breath simply went out of my lungs, so I couldn't say a word, "Oh, yes, it's perfectly true," went on Craig quietly. "Drue loved him. There's no other explanation i for it." "Hut Nickn!" 1 gasped, incralu- . Ions. He smiled a little. "That's another thing about love; you don't choose. If you're in love and it's the wrong man or the wrong woman, still you can't help it."' "X-nonsense," I exclaimed, rallying a little. "Of course you can help it! You can nip it in the bud!" lie shook his head a little. "They went away together. Only a little while after she became my wife. It's been Nicky all along; only he wouldn't marry her because of the money. My father was grateful enough to Nicky for breaking up oar the marriage . . lie said it swiftly. "He paid Nicky regularly ior that, all this time. That is, I'm sure, the explanation of those - chocks to Nicky. Rut my father wouldn't give Nicky a cent if he'd married Drue." I wanted to shake him. Instead I said, "She is in love with you. She always has been. She ..." He interrupted sharply. "There's no use talking of that. .Miss Keate. She went away with Nicky while I was in Washington, shortly after our marriage. She asked for a divorce through a lawyer. She never tried to communicate with me." . "She wrote to you." "No." "Yes, she did. She told me." "She . . ." He looked slowly at me. "Are you sure? My father wouldn't have i . ." "Your father would have tampered with St. Peter's mail if he wanted 'to." "But I can't believe ..." "Look here," I said in exasperation. "Five minutes talk with Drue would clear up everything." "No," he said stubbornly. "All that's in the past stud done with. Drue wanted a divorce. . . ." "You wanted a divorce." "No. it was Drue. .'. ." "Nonsense. She only wanted it so you could get into air corps training." "She . . ." He stopped and gave me a long look and then said very slowly, "Exactly what do you mean'?" "Drue said your father explained tn her why you wanted her to ask foT a divorce. He told her they Wouldn't take married men." ''They wouldn't at the time. But I could have gone to another . . ." He broke off again to question me. "He told her that?" "Yes. He said it was the thing above everything else that you wanted to lu or at least he succeeded in making her think that. He said that when the training was over you would come back and marry her again. He told her," I added, "that it would be merely a long engagement." ' Craig looked at me for a long

of girl she is,' I don't think she would write very many letters without a reply."

"No, he said slowly, staring at the mound his feet made under the eiderdown. "No, she wouldn't write very many times without a reply." 1 said, "I'm going to get Drue. I think I can manage somehow to get her past the guard; perhaps I can't but" "Wait a minute," he interrupted sharply. And finally said, "No. She went away with Nicky. Willingly." ".But she there's an explanation for it. Give her a chance and give yourself one. That's why your father meant to send her away. The night he died. She told him, I heard her; she warned him. She said she was going to find out the truth about the divorce." There was a little silence, then he shook his head slowly and deliberately. And I lo.-t my temper. "All right," I snapped, '"think as you please. It's your lows, If you'd even tell about the things you know it would help. You know who shot you, don't you? And you knew there'd be another murder. And you know about the yellow glove the glove that they found beside Dr. Chivery. And I think you know why he was killed." "If 1 knew anything 1 could teil the police I would do so. But you see, Miss Keate, that's the trouble. If 1 tell who shot me, it'll make it that much the to for Drue. It wasn't the same person. The person that shot me, 1 mean, was not theperson that killed my father or Claud Chivery. If I tell the police that they'll say she murdered my father." After a moment I said heavily, "Was it your father, then? Why? Was it a quarrel over well, was he jealous of Alexia?" I couldn't read his eyes. He drew

up his knees and clasped his un-

bandaged arm around them. "Forget that, Miss Keate," he said decisively.

"You said 'There'll be murder

done.' You said that the afternoon before your father was murdered." "I remember, vaguely. I wasn't sure I'm not sure now exactly why I was shot. But I had a vague no

tion that I ought to tell Claud that

it was an attempt at murder."

"But that isn't what you said. You didn't say 'There was an attempt

at murder. It was in the future, as you put it. You said 'There'll be murder...'" "I know. You see, I had sense enough to know that, since the first attempt had failed, another attempt might be made." "Do you mean you wanted protection?" "In a sense. Yes. I wanted some-

gcr everywhere. "Why?" I demanded. "Because," he said, which was

not exactly illuminating. .

Whv Claud;" I persisted, get

ting nowhere fast.

"Because Claud knew all about us; he smoothed things over, he

could "always manage my father; he was devoted to him. I think," said

Craig slowly, "it was partly because

of Maud; she thought there was no one like mv father. In many ways

Maud has a much stronger charac

ter than Claud had; he gave in to

her about everything but money. Maud's a little overfond of money and would have been a sucker for get-rich-quick schemes if Claud had let her! "Oh, she wouldn't have murdered Claud on account of the will," Craig added. "They did have a quaVrel lately about money. Claud told me. But it was only about some money they had invested, twenty thousand or so; Maud wanted the cash in order to make another investment. Claud didn't know or at least didn't tell me what it was." "I suppose." I said on a wave of astuteness, "that Cla.ud knew who shot you. And got rid of the bullet so it couldn't be traced." (As he would have done, I thought, to keep a family secret.) But Craig's face was instantly blank. "Do you?" he queried. And, as I lifted my arm to look at my watch, something rustled in my pocket and I remembered the Frederic Miller checks. I gave them io hini at once. "They were in Alexia's room, in the cupboard ..." - He snatched them out of my hand, examined them, questioned me, and then lay "for a long time staring at the sprawling gilt ligures on the dark wall paper, a queer look in his eyes, his fingers tapping the checks, an expression in his face that I couldn't read. I tried to question him. "Do you know Avho Frederic Miller is?" "No no that is, perhaps I do. I'm not sure. Let me think. . . ." But he didn't want to think any longer, for almost at once he turned quickly to me, excitedly. "Look here, Miss Keate. Will 1 be able to get out tomorrow?" "You may be able to get out of bed and walk around tiie room that's about all," I said slowly. "Can I get to the Chivery' cottage?" "No." "But I've got to." - "All right Go ahead and kill yourself." "I'll keep these checks." "Are you going to give them to the police?" He hesitated. "I don't know. I've got to think. If they arrest Drue, I'll do anything " "Anything, yes! Except tell her you still love her." "If she loves me," he said slowly, "that's enough." (To be continued) Coijtisht by IflsmmC. Ebrrliarl; DistriUulwi l king fcealurvs SxidKat. Int.
