paper was unprepared. Every reporter
was out on other stories and could not
be reached. The managing editor was
at his wits end.
Miss Bessie Taul Conkwright, the
young society editor, was the only other
person in the office. The managing
editor looked at her with hope in his
eyes but upon hearing her taking we'd
ding announcements and party news
over the telephone he turned away in
disgust. Word came, however, that the
police car was just leaving and they had
room for one reporter. As a last re-
sort he asked Miss Conkwright if she
would cover the murder

Billie was soon safely blown to school,
