And then there was his insistence
on his conjuring ability - the evening
before the crime. He pretended to give
himself away. But a man like Clapper-

must be reason. So long as people
thought he had been a eona,or they
weren't likely to think of his having
been a ventriIoqnist.

Conflicting emotions surged through
Lester. He stood outwardly cold and

great turmoil. This woman was affili-

machine or else had permitted himself
to be Influenced by it. klay had

knowingly. as spy for the opposition.
He wanted to hate her; yet, as he
watched her standing there, slim,
erect, defiant, steady-eyed and indie
pendent. he wanted to take her in his
arms. She appeared so utterly apart
from the corrupt political chicanery
which had enmeshed itself about her
that she seemed as out of place as a
wild deer in the middle of some
noisome city street.

before her sincerity and her beauty.

seemed that he had Just passed
through some vague dream in which
the events were blurred. yet the
import of which was stupendous. The
realization that the woman he loved

scorn for him was no less a shock than
the sudden realization that he loved

Canal Zone, according to the an

The rate declined steadily from

due to the absence of epidemic
