detective
He solved the Hogarth murder

And Ralph Hammond was the
man who once had belonged rather

cording to her own confession, had
succumbed most completely to Nita

years this region has been menaced
by the encroaching Cobb desert.
AS rule there has been one wet

peasants have been able to store
their surplus and bridge over the
two lean years. But the war, with
its blight OF hungry armies and tax
collectors, has wiped out last years

The 1880 crop would have been
fair if the peasants had had seed

CHAPTER THREE

ID ONNIE DUNDEE turned toward
ID the tiny, bowed figure Of the
dead woman and stared at it long
and thoughtfully before he an
swered
I'm afraid, Captain Strawn, that
there arc only two explanations
possible. The first, of course, is
that Mia Selim was quite deaf or
very near-sighted. 1 happen to
know from having met her to-day
You met her today?" Strawn in
terrupted incredulously.
Dundee explained briefly, then
went on: LAS 1 was saying / have
GOOD reason to know she was not
deaf, but I can't say as to her being
ear-sighted. except that it is my
observation that people who are ex-
tremely near-sighted do not have
very wide eyes and no creases be
tween the brows.
Il am fairly sure she did not wear
glasses at all, because glasses worn
even few hours day leave a mark
across the nose or show pinched red
spots on each side of the base Of
the nose"
You must of had a good, hard
look at her" Strawn gibed, his eyes
twinkling, and his harsh, thin
Tipped mouth pulling down at one
corner in what he thought was a
genial smile.
Il did" Dundee retorted, grin
ming back at his former chief, who
well knew the boys weakness for
a pretty girl. well, conceding that
she was neither deaf nor half blind
she necessarily would have heard
and seen her assailant before he
shot her"
Whats the other explanation?'
Strawn was becoming impatient.
That the person who killed her
was so we'll known to her, and his
or-her presence in this room so
natural a thing that she paid no
attention to hiS-or her-moVements
and was concentrating on the job
of powdering her very pretty face"
You mean-one> of that gang of
society folks in there?" and Strawn
ierked thumb toward the left side
Of the house.
Very probably" Dundee agreed.
But where's the gun?" Strawn
argued Il tell you my men"
This was a premeditated muir
der. of course" Dundee interrupted.
The Maxim silencer-unless they
all arc lying about not hearing a
shot-proveS that.
"Silencers are damned hard to get
hold of, but people with plenty of
money can manage most things.
And since the murder was premedi-
tated, it is better to count on the
fact that the murderer-or murder
ess-had planned a pretty safe hid
ing place for the gun and the ST.
lcncer.
"Oh, not necessarily in the house
or even near the house" he has
tened to assure Strawn, who was
trying to break in. q. BY the way,
how long after Mrs. Selim was killed
was her death discovered? Or do
YOU know?"
II HAVEN'T been able to get much
L out of that bunch in there-not
even out of Penelope Grain. VINO
ought to be willing to help, seeing
AS how she works for the district
attorney.
But I guess she was waiting to
spill it all to you. if she knows any
thing, so you and Sanderson will get
all the credit"
Nov, look here, chief" Dundee
protested, laying a hand on Strawn's
shoulder as he reverted to the name
by which he had addressed the head
of the homicide squad for nearly q
year, we're going to be friends
aren't we? Same as always?

White mans intrusion in red

was resented by the Indians.

Indistinguishable savage oaths
rang through Indian Johns

ritual interrupted, milled about,
became threatening.
Olson retreated. AS he backed

Thanks, Girls!

The N. Y. Post, in relating how June Croll,
Anna Cohen and Diana Lemplin, were ar
rested in the uptown unemployed rallies pre-
vious to the Walker Massacre at City Hail.,
remarked:
"While they were being booked, the three
women studiousy refused to pay any atten-
tion to those about them, and ostentatiously
brought out copies of the Daily Worker,
which they read"
The capitalist press, as usual suppressing
the most significant news, failed to even men
tion that the girls turned at once to the back
page, last column. But that, and only that,
can explain why they were SO interested that
they refused to pay any attention to those
about them.

Right in the Cuts

One of the funniest claims of the current
anti-Sovet propaganda recently came out of
a dispatch to the New York Times from its
liar stationed at Hamburg, Germany In in
dienant lines it told how the Soviet was
dumping" wheat, glue and lot of things
inco arn Europe
And his indignation rose to poetic heights
when he touched on the subject of the Soviet
dumping sausage casings." The gut busi-
ness of western Europe was being simply
ruined. Yet darned if we could shed tear.
In fact we howled with laughter.
Them Bolsheviks have CUTS! In fact they
have SO much CUTS they export the surplus to
capitalist countries to "stir up discomfort" as
Secretary Hyde says was their reason for
selling wheat.
Yet it's strictly business proposition. The
"Reds'' furnish the CUTS and Secretary Hyde
furnishes the boloney.
In order to foil the Soviet plot the clever
100 percenters are now putting out hot dogs
in rayon castings. But who the heck wants to
eat dogs attired in silk dresses? Give us
CUTS, and especially good tough Bolshevik

Muste Social-Fascists Are
Dangerous Fakers

Forwards, raises his voice to lament that the
A. F. L. does not any longer represent the
interests of the working class of America and
admits that socialists dare not criticize it
and neither does he criticize the treacheries
and strikebreaking of the socialist misleaders
in the garment trades.

symposium saying that his clique will reform

Music, the leader himself, has an article
emphasizing that the Musteite attack on some
of the policies of the A.. F. L. is no more trea-
son to it than is Norris speeches about Hoover
treason to the U. S. He picks up slogans:
"mitancy enthusiasm, industrial unions" ga
we'll rounded labor movement" "anti-mili-
tarism"to win confidence He does not pro-
pose to build. fighting unions for the morgan
lied, he does not mention the Soviet Union.
His "anti-militarisr" is not to "turn the i'm
perialist war into class war;" it is bourgeois
pacifisn, which is only help to mlitarism.
Fake Insurance.
The Musteites know the workers demand un-
employment insurance. Music proposes it,
with capitalist counsel to administer it in
a strikebreaking, wage cutting manner
There is another symposium, on the Soviet
Union; in this particular issue it is devoted
entirely to counter-revolutionary attacks on
the First Workers Republic. Music is too
clever to say it himself, he has to pose as a
distant friend of "the Russian experiment"
He lets his readers make the attack.
Well, here is Mysticism as revealed by its
own official organ. In practice it is much
worse. 1t includes the betrayal at Marion and
the now admitted swindle of the workers at
Elzabethton.

by it? If you don't want it, your answer

Every political party has put up candidate

Inefficient Reporters

In the Evening World, the reporters who
were handling the Walker Massacre, got their
wires crossed in the write-up, on which it is
the custom when handling big story to as
sign two or more reporters. Thus in the first
part of the story, in speaking of how the cops
dubbed the crowd, it said:
dozens of persons were injured in the
fighting. Policemen drew their clubs and
slugged right and left. Mounted policemen
rode down dozens of persons"
While along in the middle of the same story,
it said:
"The policemen were instructed to keep
everybody moving but to use no violence"
