The widespread interest of many civic leaders and various local organizations in developing a recreational 'project for the boys and girls of school age in Sullivan was crystallized by the announcement this week by the Elks that they were purchasing' the 'Legion property and ' would turn it over to the public free of charge for 10 years, for use as a recreation center for youth.' This announcement was made at the joint meeting of the city council, school board and other interests Tuesday night at which a discussion of the need of recreational facilities was held and plans formulated. . It is anticipated that the Recreation center will "be largely self -governing and operated generally by the youth themselves as has been the successful plan carried out in other cities similar to Sullivan. ; The project means that Sullivan boys and girls will have a decent; properly supervised place to enjoy leisure -hours They will be kept off the streets and the problem of chil delinquency will undoubtedly be lessened to h 'considerable degree. Tentative plans include both indoor and outdoor recreation for youth. The location en Aiorth Court street is ideal fc such a "center. Again, we are happy to commend those re sponsible for making such a project a reality for Sullivan.

McKELLAR GOES BACK TO DIES FILES TO CHARGE WILLIAMS IS COMMUNIST! News that Aubrey Williams, nominated by the president to head the Rural Electrification Administration, Is violent ly opposed by the familiar GOP-Southern poll tax combination should instantly recommend him to progressives'.. His op ponents are almost identically the same as those who oppose Henry 'Wallace for 'the Department, of ' Commerce, and the grounds for opposition1 are virtually identical. Williams i an honest idealist. .

Williams has been subjected to one charge, howevei which Wallace somehow escaped. Senator McKelUr' of Tennessee says Williams is a Communist, so-labeled by the oF Dies committee. A charge of this kind dug out of the Die files a couple of years ago might have been a serious hand1

cap to Williams. But the pifblic and Congress having learnc' something about ' Dies committees methods are now rather skeptical. They ask to' be shown. After hearing the wod Communist bandied about in the agricultural committee session for some time Senator Tobey. Republican, of New Hampshire, suggested that a definitior of Communist might be helpful. He re-td a statement to tin effect that Communism is a ganger growing out of the pov erty of large segments of the American people. ''And that," continued Senator Tobey.' tongue in cheek, "i a quotation from that 'well-known radical, President Grove Cleveland." This would indicate that a conservative New F.nghnder can get fed up on Communist hokum. : ' The truth seems to be that Williams' real offense war his teference, in a column written for the Farmers' Union to certain southern senators as "southern Tones." This eminently honest appraisal is-reported to have cost him the votes of Senators Pankhead cf Alabama, Conn-illy of Texaand Bilbo of Mississippi. Senator Stewart of Tennessee has opposed Williams from the beginning, as h.ns McKellar of the same state. . McKellar's feud with Williams dates from the abolition of the National Youth Administration which was headed by .Williams and abolished by Congress largely at the instigation of Senator McKellar, ; Fortunately for Williams it happens that the prestige of Senator McKellar has suffered recently almost as much as that of the Dies committee. He f '-riled dismally in his effoK to cripple the usefulness of the Tennessee Valley Authority by subjeting its purse strings and patronage to' the control of Congress. - 1 ; Although McKellar was successful in having NY A abolished, many senators have' since recognized the useful service wf this organization under the direction of Williams. He wa. among the first to understand that the nation was confronted by a serious crisis. He alienated many of his liberal friends bv Insisting that' the nation's youth should be prepared for the coming conflict and directed those under his control into occupations which trained them for employment in war plants. Aubrey Williams is about as much of a Communist as the late Senator' Norn's who also is on the prohibitory index f-ihe Dies committee. The only organizations with which he ever has been affiliated are the Presbyterian church, the American Legion and the Citizens Political Action committee. He is at this time organization director for the National Farmers' Union, which probably makes him suspect in the eyes of large agricultural interests. He attended public schools in Alabama and received his degree from Maryville College, Tennessee, which is not noted for havinsr graduated a lar.ve

number of Communists. ",, ' ,j As a member of the faculty of the University of Wis-1 cousin and as an officer of the Wisconsin Welfare association, Williams familiarized himself with midwest social and agricultrual problems. Tie also enjoys the friendship and re-;

spect or many senators ot that section who probably will support him for confirmation. His personal friendly relations with a number of Republican senators gives him an advantage which Henry Wallace lacks. Nevertheless the fight against him is basically the same

'as that waged against Wallace, since both belong to that

CHAPTER FOP.TY-F1VE "What of the Frederic Miller checks?" queried Nicky. There was another silence. Then Alexia said in a kind of stifled vay,"All right. 'But if you say a word . . ." ' "You took them out of his desk yourself, -didn't you?" "Nicky,, is this;, jjuess or do you know?" "1 know enough. I think I know

Y the whole story."

"You don't," protested Alexia. "You can't possibly. But if you'll keep still ..." "I knew you'd see the light. It's a deal: Dollar for dollar. Fiftyfifty. It's n roikL thing- that you are u sensible ifirl. ..." "Will yon !)"!'' demanded Alexia in a voice that trembled with raye'. "Kiuhl," said Nicky and someone tiptoed from the house.

So Nicky knew, or pretended to know, the "whole story." Whatever il was. it was so inonminating that Alexia would promise half her legacy to silence him. Afler a lonr silence in the. cottage,. I moved, very cautiously, so I could see through the tittle crack between curtain and window casingThen 1 wished I hadn't looked. Fur Nicky stood in the doorway; he -us looking slowly around the slmly. and he held the long carving kuil'e in one hand. Only il wasn't Nicky! I Junked closer, scrutinizing. Il was Alexia in Nicky's clothes Ids checked jacket, browr, slacks, maroon sc arf. It must be Alexia; Nicky had pone. All at once I understood many things. Mainly, Nugent's suggestion was right: Alexia could and obviously had worn Nicky's clothes whenever it was convenient to do so.

But there was something else something terribly important. Oh,

yes. Is Drue here? Nicky had asked.

If Drue were in that "-loamy silent cottage she was upstairs where hadn't looked. Perhaps they had

her locked up. Just then 1 was watching Alexia, and afraid for

fear she would feel my eyvs upon

her. But she didn't, for she was looking at the books 1 had lc't on the dpsk. No; that was wrong. She was actually looking at the telephone. Suddenly Alexia took one swift step t the telephone, and slashed through its wire with the knife. Then she glanced around the study again and 1 shut my eyes to keep from attracting her ga.e. When I opened them an instant later, she was gone. I crept out from behind the drur pcrics.- Then it Hashed through my mind that nobody would live isolated in the country, without a revolver, and my hand went out to the desk drawer, opened it cautiously, and there was actually a revolver lying on top of some papers. ' The hall was in blackness as I groped with my free hand for the stairs. . . . Suddenly my hand encountered hair. Human hair! I drew back quickly. I would have

fired the revolver if I had not been scared sti.f. Then I realized that the hair I touched was a braid. It was Anna's, and she was alive. In fact, Anna was shrinking over the banisters, aw3y from me. She was pctrilied with fright, and I got my hand over her mouth before she even whimpered. I whispered sternly, "Anna, it's me the nurse, Miss Keate ..." - "Oo woo woo " she moaned. I held my hand harder over her teeth and was horrified to reali.e that she was heaving wildly up and down in an effort either to scream or sob; so I dragged her nearer and put my mouth where I thought her ear ought to be. "Anna', livten! It's Nurse Keate.

I'm not going to hurt you." She pulled away from me. sucked in a great gulp of air while I sought

doMieratelv for her mouth m the

atkness, and then she whispered. Turn mo over to the police. It's all

my fault."

I said between my teeth, "Is Miss

Cable here?"

"Oh, yes, yes. SI. -V not hurt, she's upstairs, in a bedroom." "You've got to go for the police! Quick! Out. the hack door!" ''olkeV "Thev won't hurt you Be (juiet. Hurry!" "No, no! I lied to .them! I said I didn't telephone the night Mr. Brent was killed. But I did. I knew it was murder. I was afraid something terrible wou'J happen. And it did." "You telephoned the police!" "Yes. Yes. Oh, Nurse, I've been so wicked. I picked up the vase. I had to; I was made to do it; I didn't want to."

"Who made you pick up the broken vase? Why did you know it was

murder? Anna . . .' But I was too vehement. I had her bv the shoulders and I clutched

too hard. I only frightened her into a gibbering, rtuaking, sobbing jelly.

1 couldn't get another sensible or coherent two words out of her. And r-vue was alone, with Alexia lomewhere in the house. So finally

1 shoved the revolver against Anna s neck where she could feel the cold steel. "Go out the back door," 1 ordered. "Go through the kitchen. Don't make a sound. And if you don't bring the police back here as soim as you can I'll shoot you!" 1 .iiust have impressed her; something penetrated the fog of terror around her. "I will oh. I willIt's all my fault. But don't shoot..." she quavered out of the darkness. Anna groped her way around me and I could hear the soft patter of her feet for a few steps ... 1 couldn't hear anything at all from upstairs or from the front of the house, but presently I did hear the soft opening and closing of a .door nearby and I was reasonably sure it; was Anna. But I wasn't at all sure she would'So for the police. 1 took a harder grip on the revolver and started up the narrow flight of stairs. I came to a landing and poked my head cautiously around the corner to look along a narrow hall, going toward the front

of -the- -house,- with doors- opening f rom it' ' ' I didn't know' where Drue was, so I must try the rooms. Drue was in the first bedroom I entered. I didn't see her at first ; she had heard or sensed my approach and had shrunk back behind the door. As I turned she caught a glimpse of me. "Surah . . ." "Sh sh," I closed the door softly. Her face was a white oval in the dusk; her hands gripped my firms as if she would never let me go. "'( A," she whispered. "Be still. Alexia's here. Nicky was here, but I think he's gone. Drue, are you all right? Did they hurt?" "No, no. Only I couldn't do ally

ing. She wouldn't let me . . ." "She?" "Anna. She's gone now to fix ns

something to eat. A few, minutes

ago. I thought I heard Nicky's voice." "You did." I was sure she was all right; and relief surged along my nerves. I couldn't think of anything except to get Drue out of there. And the notes about digitalis into the hands of the police. And Anna's words and. Alexia's into their cars! I wasn't really afraid of Alexia; not with Drue, to say nothing -f the revolver, to back me up. Neil her Drue nor myself was exactly frail and, moreover, as nurses we'd had centain amount of training in selfdefense. Drue was still clinging to nie. "Craig . . ." she whispered. "Is he ..." "Nearly crazy," I said while listening for Alexia. "He listen, Drue, when you left the Brent house (I mean when you were married to Craig and he was in Washington) did Nicky go with you?" "Why. yes. He drove me to the station. Then he took the same train to New York; he said he had some business in town. Why?"

So that settled that, I thought rather grimlv. Then I said wearily, "Tell Craig that." "Tell Craig! But Nicky that was nothing!" "Sh sh," I said quickly, certain I heard some motion out.-ide, but the door did not open and there was no further sound. After a moment I whispered, "Anna went for the police. At least, I sent her to get them." i "Anna!" Drue shuddered. I said, "She made you come here. What did she tell vou?" "Anna told me she knew something. Last night she came to me " "I know. The guard told us." "She was crazy with fear. Really, Sarah, she was afraid of every I ' 'ng. She promised to tell me wiiar .-he. knew if I'd help her get away from the house. She was afraid to talk there, in the house. Terrified." "So you camp here?" i ..,lI:i the night Anna said.! hithouse was empty and no one would look for us here. 1 wasn't afraid, not at first."
