Guy Trent. 70 put forth their efforts
to organize Hidalgo county towns
TO Join those OF Csnnaron county, In
a Valley Class d league, spent
Thursday and Friday IN the upper
Valley and reported 20 the chairman
that they found sentiment for base
ball IN these parts. very strong.
We talked 20 Mission and Nc
Allen citizens" they stated Satur-
day afternoon. and found them in
favor Of q baseball league. Marvin
Goodwin and Judge d. r. Strickland
OF MISSION, heartily endorsed the
plans OF the proposed league, as
did d.. Utz.nan OF McAllen"
Mr.. Wells believes a league will
be organized. but states a lot OF
organization work vii have TO be
done. We went over the plans. as
we we're instructed 20 do, Of the Ne
hraska State league. with Hidalgo
county citizens They. seemed 70 be
II favor OF this kind OF operation
OF : league. The plan Is simply a
$500 per month salary limit for
each club: G plan whereby monthly
donations will be eliminated; a plan
that should be self-sustainins. and
III some cases be a paying propo-
sition."
The committee will start where
they LETT OFF and leave this week for
what Is expected to be the turning
poirt@hat Is whether q Valley lea
que can be organized or not. IL is
known that Corpus Christi and
kIngsville are DESTROYS OF entering
this proposed league, but the meet
ing last Tuesday night, at which
representative citizens OF Cameron
county were present, instructed the
committee, through Chairman Trent
10 try TO organize an all-Valley
league; and this will either be ac-
complshed or not this week, the
two delegates believe.
They plan 70 hold q conference
With Cam Hill of Edinburg in the
next few days. and will then 20 TO
Mercedes, where Mr.. wells believes
a lot of sentiment for the league.
which Is known TO exist there, can
be cryStallized into an organization.
Baseball fans point out that time
IS passing rapidly. and that II the
Valley Is to enjoy the national pas
time this summer. the league should
start functioning within the next
few days, at least. IL is known that
Brownsville, San Benito and Har-
lingen will have ball clubs, but are
not organizing until these towns
know whether or not Hidalgo coun-
~ towns will also Join the LEAGUE.

 But Ruth knew. even as she con soled herself with this philosophte reflection. that Detective Sergeant McMann would emit . loud roar oi derisivs laughter if shs told him her theory. He might be trying with true polics consctentiousneas to bully Rita Dubois into confess ing to both murder and robbery but Ruth was sure that in h:a heart McMann believed that the dancer had dope nothing worse than rob . dead mans body. after Harry Borden had been killed by Jack Hayward. tn . jealous rags.
 The newly-d,scoversd evidence tht Borden had had Ruth's gun tn his possession that Saturday after noon would do much. Ruth realized sickly. to confirm McMann's sus- picions against Jack. He would argue. undoubtedly. that Borden and Jack had quarreled over tho telephone - that inexplicable ons- sided conversation of Borden's which Bill Cowan had overheard when he had called Jack Hayward's number at 10 minutes after two - and that consequently. fearing an attack upon hts life. Borden had possessed himself of Ruth's gun. had gone to the open window with 1t in hts hand. and had been shot down by Hayward before he could aim Ruth's weapon.
 But-Ruth argued with herself desperately - if McMann believed this to be the truth about Borden's murder, how could he account for the disappearancs of her gun Would he be % stupid as to try to convince himself that Rita Dubois had stolen 1t. too. along with the money on Borden's body?
 Ruth herself was sure that II Rita had come into Borden's office and found him dead, with . gun lying on the floor, she would have concluded that he had committed suicide. would not have dreamed of touching the weapon with which he had done 1t. for fear of its be- ing found in her possession and tn- eliminating her.
 "Miss Lester!" McMann's harsh voice broke into the girls troubled maze of theory and conjecture. Do you know when the glass pam els of these office doors were washed last?"
 Ruth considered for . moment, then answered confidently: "On Friday. The window washer al- ways comes on Friday, and does the door panels at the same time. It was late Friday afternoon"

 When Rita came-Ruth went on building up her suppositious case -the gun was on top of Borden . de4x, handy for his defense against the person from whom he undoubt- edly feared . visit. Else why should hs have planned te remain all afternoon in his office. instead of spending the hours between trains with Rita! But that. she told herself despairingly. was built on the theory that Rita was telling the truth about the agreement be- tween her and Borden to make the later train.
 Why suppose Rita had told the truth? She had lied % much! No. it was better to hold tight to facts. Borden had undoubtedly opened the bottom drawer of the desk. In all probability hs had done 90 to get the gut kept there. Rita had come. She had quarrslsd with Borden. She had seen the gun on his desk. she had shot him to get the money he would not give her. Then Rita had robbed the body.
 Perhaps she was telling the truth about the paste - or part truth. Who could say how Rita's mind would function after she had killed Borden? The bill was all- important. It was torn in two. In an office there would bs paste. She had hunted for the paste in the outer office, and in the meantime tho black pigeon - or one of his flock - had flown in through the open window. had dipped his tiny feet in the fresh- flowing blood Of the dead man, leaving tell-taie tracks behind.
 But why had Rita come back in- to that death room to closs the window? Ruth knit her brows tn a terrific effort to think straight. Then light burst upon her. Rita had heard the flutter of the pig cons wings or the sound of its body caroming against the glass Of the upper sash and had run back into the private office. frightened half to death. She had seen the pigeon - or maybe several of them -on tho window ledge. and had had . sudden horror of the feath- cred creatures pecking at Harry Borden's dead face.
 Cautious instinctively. even in her panic. she had closed the win- dow with her Eloved left hand, so that there were no fingerprints. Ruth started to draw . deep breath of relief, when suddenly the whole structure topple and fell. stricken by one question which her relent- lessly logical mind insisted upon asking: if Rita had done all this, where did Jacks missing automatic fit into tho picture?
 Then hope thrust up it's head again. Why try to fit Jacks gun into any theory of the murder? It was missing-true. But wasn't it
