HAVE yOUK CAKE AND EAT IT TOO A Ilocsier war plant worker the other day said -he would enjoy it if his company would figure out' a way to keep his pay checks and give him the "deducts." He was referring-, of course, to diminished "take-home" pay . . . what's left after deductions for taxes, group insurance, social security, old f.jrc pension and. the like. The industrial plant's public relations director, in charge of the drive fur increased war bond payroll savings allotments, for the Seventh War Loan, had the right answer for the employe,, however. We think he has the right answer for all employes everywhere. Whatever you. save for war bonds is still your own, and, in case of emergency, is liquid . . cash in your hands. "With everybody, including the tax collector, taking a slice of your cake, it's time you cut a piece for you "self . . . the biggest piece you can," the employe-group was t"M. "This is the piece of cake you can have and eat, too." .And. of course, it s true. On success of the advance payroll savings phase of the Seventh War Loan . . . a drive that is going on now in industrial plants, stores and offices over the state and nation . . . rests the ultimate success of the entire Treasury borrowing campaign for 'which, have been set the la'gest quotas ever assigned inlividuals. From the broad national and state: wide aspects and Indiana never has failed a war loan assignment success of the- drive will mean, a continued flow of guns, tanks and planes to 'finish the job, and will be another pi oof to the millions of Americans in the field that we are standing. with them. To oadr individual who invests cash in "extra" bonds oi who meets his quota by signing for additional savings for
bonds where he works, it means that "piece of cake for himself ' . . . a new home, education for his 'children, or,, perjaps, the establishment of Jus own business when the war is -'TIt is smart and it is the right time for every lloosier to cut himself an extra piece'of war bond cake.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN Aggie stepped close to D&'nielle
"I asked you did your father have
a knife? We have a lot to do, tonight. You've got to. snap out of this.
Your father is dead. All right. It's
terrible. All right. You're shocked.
But-1 need a witness to all I do right now and I may need help.
is that clear:"
"I want to go back to the house,"
she answered raggedly.
"And you're not! You're staying
here!"
. She stared at him with zombie eyes. A little color crept through her pallor. She turned and started
toward the door, Aggie grabbed her
arm and whirled her around. He slapped her cheek, hard. "I'll keep
on," be said, "until you come to
your senseA." She did not budge,
He shook her and slapped her
again.
Teara slowly filled her eyes. She
cast down her gaze. She shivered.
Then she swallowed several times
and. drew a deep, quaking breath,
When, she looked up, there vwa3 a liglit of sanity in her gaze. "All
right. I ll stay, Aggie."
"Good. Did your father have a
hunting knife?"
"No. At least, I don't know. I
never saw one." "No. matter. What was he developing?" "Why don't you look?"
He had started toward the tub in which the white prints were re
volving slowly. "I mean what did ,he say he was developing?"
"lie didn't say. He never did. He takes thousands of pictures. He
is a camera hend. Was, I wean. Look." Aggie dipped into the water and lifted a print. It was a close-up photograph ofi the ground of leaves and pine needles and moss and it showed the vague indenture of shoes. He frowned and dropped it back. He lifted another. It was a shot of a neatly chopped log. He felt that the picture should suggest something to him, but it did not, so he captured a third with wooden tweezers. That one made the others plain. It was a picture of the deadfall taken apparently on the morning after the discovery of Calder. The morning after Davis had gone on his early walk. The body was no longer in the trap. But stains around the dropped log were clearly discernible. It was an expert picture, technically. Aggie returned that print. "Your father," he said, a shade unsteadily, "must have gone up there again the day after the discovery that rainy day and taken pictures): s? a final check on himself. Thorough that. Crazily thorough. He wanted to be sure he'd left.no, signs." He pondered, "probably sneaked up at dawn and evidently before the rain started. That may be when ne got blood on his
shoes, and why he got rid of them this afternoon."
Danielle said glumly, "It just
doesn t make sense." "Not really. No it doesn't. Sarah
says your father wouldn't have done it anyway. No matter what
the evidence." "You've toid Sarah!" He nodded. He leaned against a cupboard marked "Plates for JPortable X." "X" meant X-ray. Sup
pose he didn't kill Calder. The fact that he's dead, himself, doesn't mean necessarily that he did.
Could any conceivable set of cir
cumstances explain what we know? On that first night he went for a consultation. Was he called?" Danielle nodded. "The phone rang and he answered. He could
have faked his end of the call,
though. Now that I think of it ho sounded surprised-rlowered his
voice "
"Let's say he was called some
where by somebody. He went
around what time?" "Midnight. Maybe later.' Be tween twelve and one."
Aggie had a recollection. "Was that about when you heard the
chopping in the woods? Was it right
after he'd gone?"
She said distractedly, "It was after. I don't know when ! I wasn't keeping $abs on every second. I didn't know people were going to
die! Wes asked me the times of
things over and over !"
"Steady. Suppose he heard the
chopping when he drove away? Wondered about it but went on
and made his call, anyhow. At least, he brought back an X-ray plate. Took it out here that night and was presumably working on it
when I arrived to get him tor Sarah! But the power was off! He couldn't have done much about examining a negative without electricity." - - "He could have developed it, though, and got it ready. If he'd been in a hurry, he could have done that so he'd be able to examine it by daylight." "That's right. Then I came. He called on Sarah. After that according to your cook he was missing for a long while. Maybe he just took, a walk went down to the lake. . And maybe he went up on the side of Garnet Knob, to see who had been chopping up there in the dark, and found Jim in the deadfall. Perhaps we'll never know
if he did either of those things.
I'm still assuming that what lje did
not do was to kill Calder. Anyway,
after the deadfall had been found
early' the next morning he took
these pictures-. No doubt of that. And qoday-S-he sank some shoe pacs in Lower Lake. No doubt of that, either. He wasn't wearing shoe
pacs the night he called on Sarah. I'm sure of that. He was as smooth as a Park Avenue specialist can be. That hints that maybe he wasn't
up on Garnet Knob when Calder was killed. Hints but doesn't prove. Wes can dredge up the shoe pacs and the shoe pacs probably won't show any more than we've guessed that maybe, at some time or other, your father stepped into some blood of the saW-type as Calder's." "Why torture your mind?" sho asked dully. "He's dead too, now. There's every reason to think he killed Jim. And no use standing here to invent a perfect swarm of other possibilities." Aggie's lips locked for a moment. "Plenty of use, Danielle. Suppose that your father had nothing whatever to do with the business on the hillside? Nothing, that is, except to take these pictures the day after we all knew about it?" "Then why would he do that?" "For a reason you made clear this evening -yourself. Because the people of Indian Stones take things into their own hands. Your father as you said twice as readily as anybody else. He was a self-confident, egotistical, resourceful man. He was worried. Anybody .could see that. He had a reason to worry. Hank's wire. The gold." ,IIe had said that deliberately. The information about the gold would certainly come out now. Its secret had survived one apparently accidental death. It could not sensibly be kept in the face of another death. So, covertly, he watched Danielle. She said, "Gold? What are you talking about?" Aggie was quite certain, then, that Danielle knew nothing about the cache in the clubhouse cellar. "They had some gold," he said rapidly. "In a common store. Sarah your father Waite Calder. Gold they got by subsidizing Hank Bogarty. Hank's telegram and the knowledge of the gold and Calder's death upset all of them terrifically. So " Aggie lowered" his voice as he, came to the conclusion of his hypothesis "I wonder if, maybe, your father was just trying to back up the efforts of the police by doing a little research of his own. By taking these marvelous photographs. By snooping around. The way you have been and I have been. The way any "other enterprising person would, in the face of fear and worry and tragedy." "It sounds like Father," she said slowly. "Just like him. He never trusted anybody as much as he dii himself. Still; if he's innocent r why did he take his own life?" , "I dunno," Aggie answered. "I dunno. But if he didn't kill Caldcf"
then someone else did. 'i hat's my
point! ' (To be continued) rnivi'lcht. 194.1. hv l'h'llii w.n: ntllnbulcd Itt Km FeauirM SiLim-mr. tnc
