he suggested, desperately. Hes pre-

body knows why
With the aid of crude map hastily
drawn by Bits assistant, Ann began
diligent. systematic search. and
after almost two hours found Bill at
the Parrakeet, staring at the floor,
an empty glass before him. When
he looked up she was standing on
the opposite side of the table, leaning
over the chair there.
"Oh, hello" he said, getting to his
feet. Out of your territory, aren't
you-Runt? Well, we won't
start by battling. Sit down there

glow of happiness, spent two hours
hunting for Bill and finally located
him In q place called the Parrakeet.
Bill had had more drinks than he
cared to admit. Mollie never drank
liquor and Bill never insisted. He
ordered her q bottle of ginger ale
and listened to her jubilant announce
ment with as little evident emotion as
If she had informed him Of some
change in the weather.
Great :" he said. Eyes, sir,
that's fine. That's perfectly splendid" +"
Bills drawled words were spoken in
a lifeless voice. It was not the liquor
he had drunk. It was as if those
words had been forced out against an
almost overpowering revulsion of
feeling.
It was a thoroughly sobered Mollie
who said after a troubled silence; II
wish you could tell me what it is. Bill.
You can't go on this way indefinitely.
You're eating your heart out about
something and If you don't get it off
your chest. you'll turn up in the
morgue one OF these days"
He looked 1t, too. He was thin,
there was telltale patches under his
eyes and much of his usual fine color
had gone.
I've thought about the morgue
angle" Bill said, gravely. Some peo-
pie can do that sort of thing. can't"
And you won't tell me what's wrong
SO can help?"
Bills head moved slowly. Nothing
to tell, Moll"
And then. perhaps to get her off the
subject, Bill told Mollie about Selma s
professed confession about her little
joke at the rejecting pool Maybe
that's what's eating on me-" he said,
with wry grin. THE Runbrecker
female is out to hang a charge of
murder on some poor sap. Perhaps
I'm worrying myself to death for fear
she'll hang it on me-"
Mollie was careful not to let Bill
see that she attached any Importance
to Selma's story
The next evening Mollie casually
picked up AIMS purse and began to
dig around in it. What, no lipstick?"
she said, still probing. Instantly Ann
started toward her, but by that time
Mollie had found the ring and was
holding the diamond up against the
/ light.

in purses" And suddenly she had
caught Ann in her arms and kissed
her, and since there was nothing else
she could do, Ann admitted Lee Mon

Weeks later, when Ann disappeared
from the apartment, and Rita had

Immediately that Ann and Lee had

hospital to talk with Lee.
Il don't know what happened" Lee
lied. "She just walked in, handed
Me the ring and walked out I
wish you could get hold of her,

Mollie shook her head. Il can, but
wouldn't, Lee. And you mustn't.
We've got to let her work it out for
herself. When you get out of here,

Is that's bothering her. Then, II you
really love her, you can come back
and make a fresh start"
If really love her-?" Lee said.
So Mollie, the self-appointed mother
of a difficult brood. continued to
worry over her favorite chick-con-
Germ for Ann had momentarily less

triangle-and it was not until the
week after Thanksgiving that size went
back to police headquarters. Without
divulging her source of information,
she repeated what Bill had told her.
Selma Runbrecker Is a rather Pc
culiar girl" she told the officer. "and
it isn't inconceivable that she may
have manufactured the whole story.
But If it happens that she did plan
such thrill for her guests and did
put the dummy corpse In the re-
fiecting pool"
Exactly" said the officer, nodding,
following her reasoning. "A very
important piece of information. Miss
Winslow. I'll have a talk with all
the Runbreckers tomorrow, including
the Senator"
From police headquarters Mollie
went to Bills office and, to her frank
astonishment, found him in. Il want
you to come up to the apartment

Mollie's apartment came Ann, smiling.
but uneasy and. perhaps for the first
time in her life, painfully self-con-
Scious.
BY tacit agreement, no one men,
toned Lees name in AIMS presence
and, though she had regretted a thou
sand times that she had not followed
Mrs. Monday into Lees room and
given her an opportunity to recant
her arbitrary judgment. Ann tried
and in a degree succeeded, in restrict
ing Lee to tiny corner of her mind.
Sometimes, however, he beat his way
out of the narrow limits she assigned
him and earnestly protested the In
justice Of what she had done. and
once she dreamed they were again
lying on the grass beside the little
stream at the foot of the mountain
on which they had cracked up and
she awoke to find her pillow wet with
tears.
November was torn from the cal
endar and early in December life had
settled down to quiet routine. If
there had been any developments in
the police probe, not even Mollie had
been apprised of the fact Rita was
going out with Carl as often as he
could get away from Selma, and
when he could not, he usually man
aged to bring Selma by the apart
ment for a few minutes. Ann did
not like these visits, and Mollie told
Carl bluntly she preferred that he
either come alone or bring Selma up

for the entire evening. "These little
pop visits are bad for our nerves."
she said Stay while and we get
used to the feeling of holding on to
a live WIRE
When, two weeks after her return
to the apartment, Bill Hudson had
not put in another appearance, Ann
spoke to Mollie about it.
Hes trying to drink himself to
death about something" Mollie said,
grirnly. ITS one of his women.
suppose, but I've never before seen
him down and out the way he is
now"
The next evening Ann went to Bills
office. A man was busy there; he
had no idea where Bill could be
found.
Its terribly important" Ann said
in a thin, earnestly pleading voice.
I've simply got to find him."
The man wheeled around. If you
know of anything more important
than holding on to job, name it {.

self was responsible for the re-
newed interest Of the police in
i Fuhrman wells death. She had
been in New York when she read the
suicide stories and had promptly de-
cided that somewhere, somehow, the
processes of justice had gone askew.
On the face Of the evidence re-
ported in the newspapers the police
were justified in recording the case
as suicide. But they could have
known nothing of the telephone call
she had received, else they would have
called her back to Washington i'm
mediately. Not having heard about
that call, they had missed the most
important piece Of testimony in the
whole case. When she had received
the call falsely reporting Fuhrman
had been murdered, Fuhrmar was
standing directly behind her and could
not, therefore, have been the speaker.
Mollie had almost decided to go
back to Washington at once, but while
she debated the wisdom Of this, Lee
and Ann had disappeared on their
flight from Elmville. and it was not
until two weeks after her return to
the Capital that she finally walked
into police headquarters, asked for a
high police officer she had known for
several years and told him her story.
When she had finished, the officer
said:
We'll have to look around for an
accomplice"
Mollie was amused. "You still think
Fuhrman killed HIMSELF"
IF I'd seen 1t, I couldn't be any
surer, Miss Winslow. :. There's one
thing you don't know. We discovered
O diary in wells effects. He planned
originally to wipe out the entire Run
brecker family. Apparently he changed
his mind and decided to kill himself
to throw suspicion on the Senator
If you know Wells didn't make that
first phone call, then somebody else
is involved, and we'd like to know
who 1t Is. But an accomplice is the
most you can hope for. Beyond the
shadow Of q doubt, Wells ended his
own life. II you learn anything OF
Importance, I'll appreciate it If you
will get in touch with me-"
The weeks passed and Mollie heard
nothing more about the new investi-
cation. Her work at the Globe was
keeping her very busy. Bill Hudson
had developed curious case of melan-
cholia. avoided the crowd, sulked
when cornered and refused to offer
any explanation of his strange con-
duct. The case between Carl and Rita
had developed to the point where trou-

had carefully refrained from doing

No sooner had Ann left the hospital
after letting Lee slip the engagement
ring on her finger than she had taken

She had sworn Rita to secrecy, know
ing that Lee would say nothing until
he had heard it from other quarters,
and for three weeks Rita had gone

CR. BRITAIN IS
 TO PROTEST
 TO JAPANESE
(By The Associated Press)

Undated, Dec. 6, For nal British representations to Japan because of the North China situation, it is understood, are under con- sideration.
 Following American and British expressions of con- cern, informed London cir cles said that the British government was consider ing drawing Japan's atten- tion to its agreement under the nine power treaty, un- less the autonomy move 'ment is quickly clarified.
 Britain is also understood to be considering strong ac- ton to maintain China's territorial integrity, a guar antee. under the treaty.
 Japan takes the stand that the foreign office spokesman said the nine power treaty was never full ly effective because China failed to. meet some of her obligations.
 From now on, the spokes man declared, Japan insists on talking directly with China in arranging treaties affecting China.
 A Chinese official, while expressing pleasure at the American and British de- clarations, said that the North China situation was definitely worse.

Secretary of State
 Hull Notifies All
 Nations US Stand

Washington, Dec. 6, - Japan and the rest of the world were put on notice by Secretary of State Hull, that the United States government does- mt look with equanimity upon the autonomy move ment in North China.
 Hull called upon "all na- tions" to respect their ex- isting treaties. He didn't mention the name of Japan which has been generally credited with the move to separate North China pro- vinces from the Nanking government, but the mean
 
 ing was clear. 4.s :. Wide speculation accom- panied Hull's statement, which came almost on top of the assertion of Sir Sam uel Hoare, British Foreign Minister, that anything lending color to the belief that Japanese influence is behind the autonomy move ment, "can old do harm to the prestige of Japan"
 Rumors that there might be some joint action in the Far East, however, have gone unconfirmed.
 Hull cited the extensive American interest in North China, as we'll as this gov- ernment's treaty obliga- tions. He said:
 The american govern ment is therefore closely ob serving what is happening there".

Defense Witness Riot Trial Says
 Was No Blackade
{By The Associated Press)

Juneau, Dec. 6, - With the assertion that he believ es the men facing the riot trial in the federal court here were "framed", A. M. Geyers, proprietor of a sheet metal shop, testified for the defense today.
 He said his shop is near the scene of the alleged riot on June 24th. At no time was there a blockade, he declared, and there were only about 25 on the street when the marchers ap- preached the front of his shop, and then stopped, seemingly for no apparent reason.
 Louise Tanner, a high school girl, testified she at tended several union meet ings, but heard no referen- ce to guns or clubs. She said she witnessed the al- legged riot from a second story window but heard no one order that the street be cleared. A fight started be- tween a few men and then the tear gas was released, she declared.
