There was no chance Of seeing

obey her request. Oh, why couldn't
she decide that her own past was
as much her own as was his past?
1t was the indecision in her mind
that was driving her to despera-
ton.
Late that afternoon she dressed
to go to the dance hall. Myra was
at the library and Molly was lying
down. Suddenly the doorbell shrilled.
Ellen glanced at the clock and
sighed. She looked into Molly's

She had removed her gloves but
left on her hat. She opened the
door and looked down the dark
cavern of the stairs.
Suddenly her heart plunged.
Coming up the stairway. trailing
perfume and wrapped in silks and

She kissed Ellen on the cheek in
plaintive greeting. Then, sure of
her welcome, she stepped into the
living room.

"All right; I surrender" Fergus

"All right; surrender" Fergus
whimpered.
Tor a moment his face seemed
IL almost peaceful in its profound
despair. Suddenly he ducked his
head and sank his teeth into the
lawyers wrist.
Symes howled, relaxed his hold
and reached out too late to grasp
empty air. Running frenziedly, with
the feetness Of desperation. Fergus
dived into the kitchen and banged
the door.

In the sdoor." Ellen gasped.
She heard the rasp Of the key.
Symes braced the fiimsy wooden
barrier with his body. Ellen reached
his side. There was crash Of glass
and metal from within.

she sobbed.
At that instant they both heard
rush Of footsteps within, felt the
shock Of a body slamming against
the wooden door. The hinges
groaned.

Ellen. There are men waiting in
front of the house, men from my
office. Bring 'em upl"

through the door to Fergus.
The words were lost in the sound
Of single shot. The color drained
from Ellen's face and she and
Synes faced each other for a word
less instant.
He did it," symes said slowly.
He did get away"
They opened the door. The but
ler's body lay on the SCARED limo
leum, his head resting in brown
dirt from the window box among
broken red and pink geraniums.
In a few moments police filled
the small apartment. Ellen sat,
pale and shaken, in her own bed

Molly and Myra and Bert arrived
from the movies. They did what
they could for Ellen. There was

Molly and Myra left them alone to-

he looked at her. The lawyer
cleared his throat.
"The police have satisfied them
selves about Fergus suicide" he
told her.

whispered. IT can't forget the way

AMERICAN FAIRS
and EXPOSITIONS
New Englands Hold First
Place in ExpOsitions in
Large Cities
IN UNITED STATES

Springfield, Mass, March S-New
England pointed the way for the
leading American fairs and expo
sitions last year according to a
comparative statement just COM
piled by the secretary for the In
ternational Association of Fairs and
Expeditions which shows that of
23 OF the larger fairs reporting, the
Eastern States Exposition stands
financially and educationally as
the pre-eminent institution Of its
type in the United States.
Less state appropriations, the
Eastern States Exposition tops the
list OF those reporting with total
ceipts of $223,401: Michigan State
order are Iowa State fair with re-
cipts og $223,401; Michigan State
fair with $191,0s2, Indiana State
fair, $1SS,492; Calgary exposition
stampede, $176,312; Wisconsin
State fair, $161,229 and Ohio State
fair, $149,579.
While the majority OF the larger
state fairs were created as educa-
tional institutions and are financed
in part by state or municipal APP
populations, or both, as we'll as
being publicly owned, the Eastern
States exposition derives no revenue
from public funds. either for deficits
or by appropriations for mainten-
ance or fair operation. Receipts
are determined entirely by ticket
sales, income form concession and
privilege fees, exhibition space rem.
tai, entry fees and building rental
AS against this, the comparative
statement shows state appropria
lions OF s65,0oo for the Wisconsin
fair, 100000 for iowa. $4,000 for
Michigan, $4,000 for Kansas, $685.
900 for Sherbrooke and $21,360 for
