DEMOCRACY TERM AN ENT No one who believes in democracy would dare to interre with the right of any citizen to vote, merely because of s race, creed, color oi; national origin. But political rights in have little meaning if they. are not backed up by. economic '.hts. The light to a job must therefore be guaranteed by 't'iet.v on the same basis as the right to vote.The President's Fair Employment Practice Committee t up for the war period, only is the first official attempt guarantee imy measure of job equality. Because this ,fency will cease to exist when the war ends, it ' is vitally sential to set up a permanent and broader F. E, P. C. imlediately. Legislation for a permanent F. E. P. C. is now bere Congress. . The new legislation would be broader in scope than the ar-time executive order that set up the temporary F.E.P.C. hereas at present, only jobs in war industries must be lied without regard to race, creed, color or national origin, ie new legislation would protect Workers in all interstate mmerce. Under the new legislation the F. E. P. C. would irgain full enforcement powers.' 'If members of our minority groups who have been fightg in this war fov democracy or who have been engaged in oducing for the w?r-effort suddenly find at the end of the al-' that they are being discriminated against in peace-time nployment, we will be faced by a disastrous situation, E;thone is for democracy at any price, oi; one does not really (.'lieve in it at all! If one believes in it then one must fight r it. One way of fighting for it is to. extend economic detocracy. One way to extend economic democracy is to see tat a permanent F. E. P. C. is set up without delay, ;

Gasoline dealers over the country were asked, by ' local police to be on the look out for anyone seeming to have a quanity of gasoline stamps. The warning was given following the report of two robberies which were made early Monday. The bulk plants of the Socony

Vacuum Oil Co., operated- by Clyde Heenan and the Texas Company, operated by Mrs. Clem Hux were broken into some time

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN . "I'll bring: Drue here; I'll get rid of the trooper on jruard I don't know how. But I'll Ret her . . ." "No," he said again and firmly. "You'll bring Alexia here. Now. If you please, Miss Kcate." "Alexia!'! The queer look of speculation was in Craijr's face again, lie said quite coolly, looking remarkably like bis father in his more unpleasant moments, "Because I'm going to asl; lier to marry mo." "Marry Alexia! But, good heavens .... ." I broke off. "If you think you'll keep -her from giving them the hypodermic that way . , ." "Please go. Miss Keate." "But I . . ." He lifted himself on his elbow and snapped like a drill sergeant, "Do as I tell you! Bring her here!" Alexia was in her room and I watched hex select a diaphanous creamy lace garment that set my tooth on edge and not because it courted pneumonia and every possible rheumatic ailment. The trooper down at the end of the hall saw us leaving her room arid even at that distance I could see him snap to enrapt attention when his ga.e fidl upon Alexia. We reached Craig's room and she swept

straight to the bod as Craig said,'

"Alexia, did you give the police the hypodermic?" "Why I . , ." She settled down on the bed, sitting very close to .him. "Yes, I did, Craig," she said softly. She shot n glance toward me. "I thought I ought to. It was my dutf. I gave it to Nugent tonight. He's taking it to bo fingerprinted. And to have the sediment inside the barrel tested for digitalis." "Yes," said Craig slowly. "I suppose you had to. Well, you've done it now. Alexia, there's something 1 want to ask vou." "Yes, dear." "Will you marry me?" I shut my teeth so hard that I bit my tongue and uttered a stifled ( jaoulation. Alexia didn't hoar it; she was leaning over Craig as if she couldn't believe her ears. "Why, Cniiy'." she cried. "Will you?" he demanded, his eyes holding her own intently. "Why, I oh, Craij,' darling." She hesitated. Thou she seemed to get a kind of hold on herself and leaned over nearer him, lace and chiffon and all. "Oh, my darling," she breathed. "At last . . ." He pushed her away, ratheif .abruptly, so 1 hoped -she'd fall olf tho bed, but she didn't. He -said, "I, don't moan just sometime in the future. I moan now. Right away. Tomorrow." 1 "But your father Conrad what will people say?" "It doesn't matter. They'll not know. 1 can fix everything. Will you. Alexia?" , Which was just exactly more than 1 could boar. I whirled out of iho door and gave it such a hard bang behind me that the trooper away down at tlie.cikl of the hall jumped in the air. and came down taring my way and running, re

volver in baud. We met at the stairway. ' ' "Don't hurt yourself with that gun," I said waspishly. "It was only a door." And sat down on the top step to brood. Which was an unwise move because the more I brooded, the more suspicious the trooper, eyeing me distrustfully, looked. But it wasn't long that I had to wait; in fact in a surprisingly short lime Alexia came swirling out of Craig's room, gave me a glance, and ,vent quickly to her own room. I didn't go to see Drue; I didn't want to have to tell her anything. Well, I went back to Craig's room because if was my duty as a nurse. And neither of us actually spoke another word that night. I arranged his pillows, gave him one of the pills the late Dr. Claud Chivery had left for him, and turned out the light beside his bed. He watched me the queer, thoughtful look still in his eyes. He didn't give me back the Miller cheeks, and I didn't ask for them. Again 1 folded up on the couch. But not to sleep for longi Craig didn't sleep either.; I could tell by the way he turned and twisted. About three, Dolphinc turned up and meowed at the door, so I had to let him in. He trekted an unwelcome diversion by bringing in a newly deceased mouse which I got up to remove. I wont back to my couch without a word and eventually slept. And in the morning early, just after Beevens brought in a breakfast tray for each of us, the police came. They came directly to Craig's room and told him. The hypodermic had Drue's fingerprints on it and mine. There was a very small residue of digitalis in the barrel.. They had informed the District Attorney of it and of her fingerprints on the drawer if the desk where Conrad had been accustomed to keep the missing medicine box (that to me was anything but missing; I only wished it had been). Sopor ordered an immediate and formal arrest on a murder charge. But that wasn't all. For it was then, when they sent a trooper to bring Drue into the room to be questioned (Craig insisted upon hearing them question her), it was then that the' found she was gone. Drue.Jiad disappeared during the night;- nobody knew when, or how. In her cape and without shoes. I knew that, for it was I who counted the row of sturdy little pumps and oxfords.' She'd brought four pair, including some stub-toed red bedroom slippers. They were all there in a row. The trooper, questioned, seemed dazed but insisted that she couldn't have passed him. There, were no other exits from her room unless she got out the window and it was a sheer drop for nearly twenty-five feet wiih no shrubbery at that point to break a fall. At noon they still hadn't found her. The lumsoi'.old was nightmarish that morning with Beevcus redeyed' and Craig- liUc a crazy man, his eyes blazing out of a white mask. We made peace somehow,

Craig and I, , without knowing it, conscious only of Drue and that little row of shoes. No matter what the police said, I knew it wasn't escape. Craig knew it, too. Lieutenant Nugent gave orders that started a hurried search by telephone, radio and police cars, with alarms sent to neighboring states and hurriedly reinforced squads of state troopers searching the hills. Much of the inquiry itself took place in Craig's room; Sopor phoned frantically in a dozen different directions; he believed that Drue had escaped. He suggested that she'd got a ride with a passing motorist. And he blamed Nugent for letting her get away, It was a horrible day. Yet things happened. The police inquiry, for instance. Nugent's questions When I gave him the letter I had written about the hypodermic syringe; I was glad then that I'd written it, for I'd put down all the facts so it explained Drue's fingerprints on the desk drawer; I'd said that Conrad begged her for his medicine and she looked for it but it was gone, and it was only then that she'd remembered she had digitalis, and had got it and the hypodermic syringe, a,tid given it to him. But I still didn't tell them about the medicine box; I didn't want them to know she had so much as touched it. Nugent did everything he could do short of sending for bloodhounds. And I was in the room when Craig told him that Beevens had seen Nicky going toward the meadow (or at least toward the garage) just before the discovery of Dr. C'hvery's body. Nicky, questioned, flatly denied it. I hoard that, too, for the Lieutenant had Nicky come to Craig's room. And the curious thing was the flatness and boldness of Nicky's denial. It sounded true; his eyes were bright and inquisitive, but he wasn't frightened, oven when Boeveis, summoned also, said he couldn't have been mistaken and seemed very nervous but certain. Nugent finally dismissed them both. Sometime that morning (thinking of what I knew and what I only guessed of the attempt upon Craig's life) it occurred to me that if the person who tried to kill Craig was not the same who had killed his father, then an alibi for the time Cratg was shot did not automatically constitute an alibi for the time o his father's or Claud Chivery's murder. And once when we were alone, I asked Craig again about that meeting with Alexia in the garden just before he was shot. After a moment's thought he said, "It was an unintentional meeting. She was walking there too, she was there when I went down the steps. We walked up and down the paths for a little and then she went back to the house." "ll'us it your father who shot you?" I asked him again directly. And he wouldn't answer. (To be continued) Cuiijrriilit ! Mtumm G. Kburlurt; DHriliuleU by King Features Sjnu.caw. loo.
