Hendricksen was preceded on the
witness stand by Mrs Clara Sczech.
The state charged that Mrs
Sczech was the cook for the
Touhy gang when it held Factor
ransom last July ~, and that
Hendricksen was the advance
agent who rented hideways for the
gang. His testimony was to be
Sensational"
The four defendants. Touhy, AL
bert Kator, Gustav Schaeffer and
Eddie McFadden have admitted,
police said, that Hendricksen rent
ed several houses for them. The
state sought to prove that one of
these houses was the place in which
Factor was held prisoner for IL
days.
Hendricksen's testimony was ex-
pected to bring the names Of three
other alleged Touhy gang men,
bers into the Factor case. The trio
was being sought by federal agents
and police, not only in connection
with the Factor prosecution but
also on the kidnapping of Edward
G.. Bremen, SO, st Paul banker.
These men were Charles (1ce Wag-
on) Connors, Basil Banghart and
Porky Dillon.
Meanwhile, Factor, his wife and
son, Jerome, were kept under po-
lice guard. All have been threat
ened with death if the death pen
atty trial Of the Touhys turns out
unfortunately for the gang mem
bers. Factor made point blank
identifications of three of the four
defendants. Only McFadden has
not been definitely linked with the
kidnapping.
Factor must return to England
after the trial to face charges Of
having engaged in stock manipula'
lions which cost English investors
millions of dollars. The state hop
ed to end its case by tomorrow and
said the trial might reach the jury
before the end of the week.
What defense maneuvers were
expected could not be learned
other than that Touhy and one
other defendant would take the
witness stand.

-rrl call you up this evening or
I'll bring the book over"
It was a dismissal. For some
reason Amy could not fathom
Jane was trying to get rid of her.
Amv was used to James odd ways
but this was too much. "I'll call
ND this evening and ask Miss Rosa
mvself," she said. "And the next
time you don't want me to come
in with you just say so, and don't
make excuses that a child could
see through. I'd much rather
you'd be rude than tricky"
Jane was just starting to dash
into the house but she stopped,
startled by Amy's sharpness.
Then she flung her arms around
her friend and gave her hard,
excited hug. Don't be cross" she
said breathlessly. "Pll call you up
this evening. | must find Quits
so queer" and she ran up the
steps before Amy could answer
Amy went on, swinging her
racket and smiling in spite of her
feelings. No use being offended
with James childish mysteries and
changeableness and jumping
about. Besides, if she hurried she
would be able to practice a little
while before dinner. She turned
her racket and strummed it like a
banjo, humming under her breath,
Presently some one came running
after her and she glanced around
to see Edgar Moreland.
"What's the rush? Who've you
been tennising with?'
"Jane."
Edgar shrugged. 81 was just 60

been along, but not with jamie.

Jane, readjusting hairpins. You

This was too much for Amy

They both looked. The man was

Even from a distance he suggest

Jane. "If an interesting man does

but rising instantly.
They were equally tall, slender
and straight but Amy, though a
year younger, had the more ma,
ture, more quiet bearing. Jane
was restless, self-conscious, al,
ways adjusting her belt, her hair,
holding her hands and elbows stiff
watching to see if she was observ-
ed. Amy was thinking of James
manner as they walked along
wishing that she wouldn't take
games so hard and be so tense
and so unhappy and yet, with il
all, so superior. She knew that il
was these traits that made Jane
unpopular with their own CROWD
and she had a shrewd notion that
if Jane were more popular she
would be much happier. None OF
the other girls would bother with
Henry Berwyn and, though Jane
might say it was because he sup

What more could it get me than
that?"
Jane frowned. "That's very
philosophic, suppose. Oh, l do
wish there was something | liked
doing. something | could devote
myself to. something big and
grand and thrilling! This towns
as dead as ditchwater. There's
nothing here"
"Well, you're awfully clever,
Jane. Anything you wanted to do
you'd make 60" Amy offered this
in all sincerity.
81 know / could" Jane sighed.
"Aunt Rosa called me down
about the beach picnic"
"Did Momma March tell her?
You might have known she would.
SO that's why you didn't go to the
tea! What did Miss Rosa say"
"She said | was too smart real
ly to enjoy talking to Henry but
not smart enough to see what a
fool l am to do something | don't
enjoy for the sake of shocking
people. She said it was my van
ity."
"There's one nice thing about
your Aunt Rosa" said Amy, con-
sidering this. "She always talks
like 4 human being. She doesn't
lay down the law, but sort of puts
the subject before you and you're
free to use your own judgment. "
"You ought to be her niece in
stead of me-" Jane began to look
dark and tragic.
Amy quickly changed the sub
ject. "I'm thankful that COM
mencement's over and all the boys
gone. Fathers Sunday night stu
dent suppers bored me terribly
this year"
"The boys like them. though.
Everybody says your fathers the
most popular professor in col
lege." Jane spoke absently. She
had no interest in any topic but
herself.
The tennis courts were at the
back of the gymnasium and as the
, two girls turned to the patch
across the campus Amy stopped

"He was arguing me two packs.
I don't know why all the men IN
this town have to be so deadly.
"They're not. Don't you like
Edgar Moreland and Vanny
Hough? They're all right" Even
as she spoke Amy remembered,
too late, that neither Edgar nor
Vanny liked Jane. They said she
was conceited and queer. How
ever, Amy was sure Jane knew
how they felt toward her and
James reply confirmed this, for
it was blandly condescending.
"They're not so bad, / suppose,
but they're nothing extra. 1t isn't
that | want more men around,
Amy" Jane spoke as if bands of
ardent SWANS were blocking the
pavements. "It's the whole town.
It's living here. It's so dull-the
same old people year after year
and everybody knowing every
thing about everybody else" She
thought of Ann Veronica. 81 wish

something or invent something"
They had reached the courts,
"You might invent way to teach
me your underhand serve" said
Amy. She dropped her racket,
frightened the net, got the balls
7 out of the bag while Jane looked
on. That was James way. When
everything was ready she took the
shady side of the court and the
game began.
Jane was by far the better play
err, but if she missed a stroke il
fused her and made her miss the
next. Amy played steadily, evenly,
and as if she enjoyed it. As soon
as the score mounted against Jane
she was frantic, smashed hel

and turned the game into fight
Her voice went high and hel
cheeks scarlet. 1t made Amy

this" thought Amy, distressfully
"I'll have to let her win to calm
her down."
SO she began to slam her own
serves into the net, to miss the
easiest returns. After two love
games James mood was normal
even superior. "You must be get
ting tired" she said amiably.

Amy. "Jane's so silly" she
thought. "She never will play fol

was why she had wanted to 60
for a walk instead Of playing ten
mis-. 1t was easier to be with Jane
when they were not doing any
thing competitive. For her secre'
satisfaction she allowed herself
one good rally, but this time Jane

picked up her book and read OF
with a sense of being tantallzet
and cheated, not only about the
| March tea but about her whoi'
life.
Marbure. wasn't even a county
seat inst a nice old Sprawling col
lege town with a few factorle:
at the west end to give a faint
Flavor of commerce. And Marbure
College was Just a nice cd sprawl
ing college with only one clam
70 distinction, that great geologlst
professor Benjamin Ellert, whose
name and work were known wher,
ever civilized man considered the
earth's bones. The Ellert Geologl-
cal museum was small but anthem
rio and complete and scholars
from all over the world came to
see it.
Two lines of thought went on
side by side in James head as she
read, both slight but distinct. The
first was regret that she couldn't
do something exciting, and the
second that there was no man she
had ever met at all like Ann Yer
onica's blond Capes. Presently
Jane dropped her book and hunt
ed in the bottom bureau drawer
for the pack of cigarets she had
hidden there. At least she could
smoke and Aunt Rosa disapproved
of girls smoking. So did everyone
else in Marburg. Even Jane didn't
have the daring to buy cigarets
for herself in the local tobacco
shops. Henry Berwyn had given
her these and that was Henry'S
greatest attraction, though he
didn't know it.
Jane smoked gloomily and chok-
ed when she tried to inhale. II
there were only something eXclt-
ing to do! She stared around the
room, hating the dark. tall dress
er, the massive high bed, the large
roses on carpet and wallpaper,
the knotted spread, the pair Of al
abaster vases on the mantel.
'sLooks as if General Grant chose
it." she announced aloud, with
his whiskerSw Aunt Rosa might
be liberal-minded on the subject
of Henry Berwyn, but when 1t
came to changes in her house she
was rock. The room had the solid
ity of her will.
When the cigaret was at last
finished, somewhat to James re-
lief, she wrapped the ashes and
butt in a wad of crumpled paper,
put it into the waStebaSket and
went down to telephone to her
dearest friend. Amy Lowe had
probably gohe to the Marchs', but
she'd be sure.
No, Amy was at home. "What
are you doing?" asked Jane.
Lets have some tennis. The
courts ought to be dry enough by
now"
Amy hesitated. "Why don't we
just go for a walk?"
Immediately Jane was bent on
tennis. 81 want to do something
with some action to it. Walking
bOres me to death"
"All right" said Amy, resigned.
~. "I'll come by for you as soon
as l change my shoes"
They would play on the college
courts, though these were not
open to the townspeople during
vacation. Amy's father was pro-
fesSor of history, and faculty fam
lilies were privileged to use courts
