Leni waited for somebody to
say something. She did not
know whether she had silenced
them completely or whether
they were merely gathering
strength to attack her decision.
In the fragment of a second
she thought she detected some
thing like pity in Gerstenfield's
eyes.
Lucky Cavanaugh is a Won
derful man." she said as if to
explain everything.
Gerstenfield tourned toward
Wingate with a dry cough in
his throat.
Get that newspaper out of
my coat in the hall" he said.
Newspaper What's news
paper got to do with thiS?"
asked Leni quickly.
Held for Murder
1T has everything to do with
it, Miss Luneska," Gerstenfield
said in voice utterly lifeless.
"A woman picture star is a fool
to fall actually in love. We
always make a mistake when
we surrender our happiness to
other people. We are not like
other people-the public. AS
long as love with us is an emo
tionless recreation it does no
harm. If we take it too Sc
riously it ruins U.s."

Somewhere within him lived
q power dangerous to the free
determination of her own des-
tiny.
II must insist on knowing
who the man is" said Gersten-
field evenly.
Wingatea thrust his hands into
his pockets and walked to a win
dow. His artistic sense of pro-
portion told him he was en-
tirely superfluous at the mo-
ment. Leni had been clutching
a wisp of handkerchief in her
palm. A tremor of childish
helplessness came over her. The
hand relaxed and the flake of
chiffon fluttered to the floor.
His name is Lucky Cava-
naugh." she said, oddly SUR
prised at her difficulty in CIV
ing 1t out. please believe me,
this is no whim. 1t is-it is

For just a moment. GerSten-
fields lids closed over his
burning eyes and then opened
again. In the instant Leni
tore her gaze away.

the widow, suddenly became mo-
tionless as a painted portrait

eyes trying to drink in the
subheading.
Gerstenfield watched her
without a word of emotion.
Rotten break!" said Win
gate with a shade of casual
sympathy. 1T looks like Cava-
naugh quarreled with his sweet
heart and shot her dead in his
own apartment. At any rate,
they've got the girls body and
he's locked up. If you ask
me, I'll say it's a lucky thing
it was another girl instead of
you that got that bullet in her
heart last night. Well be
lucky if we can keep your
name out Of this mess"
A strength apparently from
outside her body came to Leni's
aid and held her steady and
erect while she read the brief
and hurried printed account.
She remained standing, filled
with emptiness; she felt a
hollow weakness in her joints.
Then she sensed nothing at all
and, she started to topple,
Wingate caught her in his long
arms and held her up like a
limp child.
The blacknesS surrounding
Leni melted and turned to
light.

Do you remember the secret
message we sent Calvin Squires,
Bowie. Md, the other day?
1t is no longer a secret, so
we can tell you about it.
Calvin, it seems, is an ardent
admirer of General GlasSford,
former superintendent of police
and hero Of the bonus army
here last summer. Calvin'S
father is a veteran and saw
service overseas during the war.
He wrote us about it, telling
us how much he admired the
general.
General GlaSsford is a friend
of ours, so we told him about
it. He was pleased, naturally,
and asked us to bring Calvin
to see him. Our secret mes
sage to Calvin was about that.
We took him to see the
general last Saturday and made
a picture Of the two together.
We had to do it Saturday, as
the general was leaving town
that afternoon to be gone all
summer.
The two had a nice visit,
although Calvin was so over
come at meeting his hero that
he couldn't say a word. Cen
eral Glassford had to do all
the talking. He gave Calvin
a picture of himself in his
Army uniform, with his auto
graph. That is something that
Calvin can treasure all his life.
That and the memory of his
call at his herp's home.
We think the general is quite
a grand person ourselves and
we agreed with Calvin in all
the nice things he said about
him.

as bright and definite as sun

tainted, and why.
Wingate had placed her upon
a sofa and was rubbing her
wrists with handkerchief
which he dipped into a glass OF
water. At the bottom of the
sofa stood Gerstenfield watch
ing, it seemed, for her to open
her eyes so he could begin
talking.
AS her physical strength
came back she sat up.
"Now that you've had that
over with" said Gerstenfield
without a trace Of sympathy,
well get back to business.
Are you capable Of listening to
me?
I'm going to get to Lucky
just as soon as I can," said
Leni.
She sat on the edge Of the
sofa. arched her spine inward
and threw her head backward
as she breathed in a deep
draught of air. The color be-
gan coming to her cheeks.
Forgive me for fainting,
gentlemen. Will you go with
me. Ned? Will you take me
to where he is locked up?"
Wingate glanced at his
superior. Gerstent1eld shook
his head.

A handicraft as popular as
quiltmaking and as American in
its origin and character is the
making of hooked rugs. How
and where it originated cannot
be discovered. Whatever it's
origin, it is a craft that spread
through the colonies, and to this
day affords livelihood to some
communities. Not alone akin
to qualt-making in its American
origin, it has another point in
common with 1.-THE point
which no doubt earned its popu-
larity. It affords a means OF

WORKERS AID
FIGHT OF LID.

- NEW YORK-From every part Of
the country, from the South and the
North, hundreds of letters have come
in to the International Labor Defense
Scottsboro New Trial Emergency
Fund, in response to the appeal of
the I. l.. D. The letters, enclosing
contributions for the Scottsboro de-
Tense, are from individuals, schools,
clubs, and churches, Negro and white.
Most Of them indicate that 1t is the
poor who will share their little most
readily, TO save their own.
Many of the letters were in response
to letters enclosing sheets of the
ScottSboro stamps, at one cent each,
issued by the I. L. D.
"For the Scottsboro boys, enclosed
you will find a money order for one
dollar for the stamps you sent me, D
Miss Rose A. Wilson, an unemployed
Negro worker, wrote. Il am poor
woman sick in bed with no support,
and am dividing with you. I only
wish I could send more but hope
they viii be freed and brought away
from that place where they can be
safe and useful citizens"
Leo Peck, white worker, wrote:
'I received your letter and the pen
ny stamps. / will distribute them
among my friends. I am not working
for a long time, but when I read the
letter you sent me I think it's my
duty and every worker, white and Ne
gro to protest and send money to save
the nine innocent Scottsboro boys. I
donate three dollars"
The teachers and pupils OF five
Negro schools in South Carolina, the
pastors of five Negro churches in the
same state, schools IN small towns
and cities of Delaware, Tennessee,
Maryland, and Texas, sent contrib
utions. The names of these contrib
utors from the South are not pub
lished for fear of retaliations against
them by the white bosses.
Funds are still badly needed, 10

and increasing contributions, the 1e-
gal defense Of the Scottsboro boys Is
in danger of being seriously crippled.
