ing the bodies of Mrs. Warren A.
Newton, 80. wife of a San Fran
cisco advertising man; and Evelyn
Valance, %, of Los Angeles.
A crowd estimated at 500 stood
in silence as the bodies, wrapped
in blankets, were placed in hearses
for removal to the morgue in the
valley town of San Fernando.
All night long the bodies had
lain on a ledge. Searchers, who
reached the wreck late yesterday,
had been unable to accomplish
the 7-mile trek To the mountain
camp because of darkness and
storm conditions. The searchers had
huddled before campfireS while
rain pelted down on them.

crashed.
A severe rainstorm blanketed
southern California and Blom may
have been unable to see the top
OF the ridge which grazed the
plane and plunged it over the pre-
cipice.
Rescuers said they believed that
the Inflated passengers were un-
aware of impending death and did
not have their safety belts fas-
tened. The bodies were horribly
mangled and torn from the i'm
pact. Baggage was torn open and
Uttered in the wreckage.
Thomas Frew, Newhall. Cal.
blacksmith, one Of the first men
to reach the wreckage, said the
plane apparently hit the top of a
ridge, bounced about rs feet and
dropped with terrific force against
several trees in the bottom of the
canyon.
The plane telescoped and the

her q couple of years ago. I don't
know how far the affair went. But
she threatened everything If he didn't
marry her. II she's in again, I'll get
her out"
A sudden light dawned in Patience's
weary green eyes. THE announce
ment!" she frowned thoughtfully.
"She's the one who had 1t put in the
paper. She has seen Hilary with
Janell and did it to stir up trouble
and break them up. She knew, of
course, he would blame Jan"
THE announcement was phoned." P"
Mr.. Totten nodded. she could have
done it. 1t was woman's voice. Hi
called the Bulletin and asked. I'll
spike that young lady's guns! I
didn't want any trouble with her
father, because he's a good customer.
But If she's up to her old tricks
again, I'll stop EN-"
Mr.. Totten dropped his eyeglass
case. Patience knew that her EN-
ployer had something else on his
mind. 4
What now?" She shrugged when
he dropped his case again and she
picked it up for the second time.
HAS Mrs. Totten made up our minds
about the outcome of this business?"
The old man got up slowly and
walked to the window. He seemed
to have aged 10 years. I'm afraid"

gustedly. "When his mother saw the
announcement in the paper she Just
about had apoplexy. She offered him
anything in the world If he would go
away for q year and not see ,Janell
again. Hilary held out for $50.0 900 and
a year in Paris and got it. The agree
ment was that was to break the
news to Janell. It was toss-up be-
tween Janell and no money and gay
Paree and nifty thousand. The girl
lost. He was sore at her for announc-
ing 1t, too. He thought she called up
the Bulletin"
Patience was cold with anger when
he had finished.
He couldn't have spared q few
minutes to come and see for him
self, like any gentleman would. Pet
Raleigh had to be the bearer Of the
good news?"
Totten. senior, almost leaped from
the chair. What" he yelled, saw

TT was quite touching" Patience
said, sarcastically, "the way she ven
tured so near us common clay to tell
my sister there seemed to be some
mistake-that 1t was all due to a
little misunderstanding Hilary had
with her. She told us she had been
engaged to Hilary for three years"
"Ill have to go to her father" Mr..
Totten's face was beet-red with anger.

Well, you can just go back and tell her
I was no more pleased to hear that her

Mr.. Totten looked surprised. Then
he flushed. $50" he looked over his
glasses, that's the way you feel about
my son, eh?"

shouldn't I? Haven't sent of enough
checks to him to pay the war debt9
He's lazy, extravagant and migrate
full. I've watched him take from you
and give nothing until I felt like
wringing his neck"
Amen" Mr.. Totten smiled fleet
ingly when she had finished. But
don't blame it all on Hilary. His
mother and I made him what he Is
today"
I'm sorry" Patience wiped her
eyes contritely. i've no right to
talk to you like that"
"You don't owe me anything" Mr..
Totten assured her quickly. 1T seems
to me you are the one who is getting
the hot end Of the poker"
"Th-thanks for believing in me-"
Patience choked, gratefully. ITS your

did he 60 away?"

Job also depended upon him. He

Janell's door was locked. Patience
decided to let her cry herself to sleep
and get it over with.
It was daylight before sleep finally
ended Patience's tossing and it was
midmorning when she awakened. Tip
toeing softly to Janell's door she found
it unlocked. Jan, her face still mot
tied and swollen with weeping, was
sleeping soundly.
Patience made coffee and toast and
boiled herself two eggs. She was
drinking her tomato juice when a step
sounded on the front porch.
1t was Mr.. Totten.
In her excitement Patience forgot
to take her apron of. Silently she led
him into the living room, where they
both sat down. And she knew, after
IA years of close contact with her en-
ployer, that she had never seen him
so upset or at loss for an opening.
Patience" he said finally, "tell me
all you know about this business OF
Janell and Hilary. "
Patience cleared her throat and
plunged. "AIl I know is that came
home yesterday afternoon and Janell
told me Hilary had begged her to
elope to Kansas City and get married

as it was to you."
The old man slumped in his chair.
his fingers tapping the arms. You're
quite sure ,Janell didn't have some
thing to do with the piece getting in
the paper? Maybe-sort Of being a
little anxious to have everybody know
! about it?"
Patience shook her head quickly.
"I've never been more certain Of any
thing In my life. Jan has her faults,
but she would tell the truth If 1t killed
her. To me- And don't think you
doubt that would tell you the truth"
you bet your life I don't doubt 1t. !"
Mr.. Totten passed hand over his
eyes. But getting Jennie to believe it
is another thing"
Patience sighed knowingly. She and
her employer had never discussed the
faults and foibles of Mrs. Totten. But
no one could be closely associated with
the family and not know how very far
below par Mrs. Totten was in both in
tellect and human kindness. Patience
looked up unhappily. Mrs. Totten
blames Janell, does she?" she said.
And howl" The old man shrugged
helplessly. "She has decided that
Janell just cooked the whole mess up
to try to force Hilary into marrying
her" .14

Patience was rigid with unbelief.
"You-you don't mean I'm fired!"
Mr.. Totten nodded, helplessly.
Technically, yes. Some day I'll have

He sobbed suddenly and sat down
in his chair. Patience in a second
was by his chair, his head Graded
in her long, thin arms. Stop i'll" she
commanded, tenderly Don't worry

it would be wrong Of me not to tell
YOU the truth, Janell. We've been
engaged for three years. He wrote
me every day when I was in school
in Europe. He begged me to elope.
But, of course, I wouldn't do that.
It seems so sort of-common, to
elope."
Janell WINGED, clinging childishly to
Patience. Pet went on, evenly, "Of
course, I realize now he was using you
to get revenge. If he could do that
to another girl, I could never trust
him again I'm through! When
did he ask you to marry him. Janell?"
Patience answered for her. They
had lunch together and went driving
today. But in spite Of what you say.
Miss Raleigh, I can't believe Hilary
capable of being such a rotter. I've
known him since he was a little boy.
And he's been devoted to Janell re-

could be so weak. 1t was the running
away that makes it so much worse. OF
course, he wanted the engagement put
in the paper at once. So I would
see it,
Janell raised her head to say saw
agely, who said we put the an
nouncement in the paper?"
"Why-naturally. we assume you
did"
We'll. we are mistaken. Jan could
restrain her anger no longer. 1T was
as much of a surprise to us as it was
to you. You're not fooling me, Pet
Raleigh. He isn't here to tell his side
Of the story. But you-you're lying
He-doesn't love you. He-he loves

In a fury she flung herself up the
steps and into the house, banging the
door savagely. Patience was red with
embarrassment. Don't pay any at

poor child is almost wild"
Miss Raleigh got up coolly. Think
nothing of it. I don't mind. really
She's So-inexperienced."
When Pet had driven away, Patience

 Batteries for today's tussle will be-Moose, Rogers and Hawkins; Legion. Junge and Krause.
