It's been an interesting series.

Getting away from interhigh

he leaves Georgetown Prep in

some mighty fine teams at that in
his six years at the Garrett Park

He has coached baseball for five
years and in that time his teams
have won 80 games, lost ~ and
tied in one contest his basketball
teams won 81 games, lost Sc, while
his football squad won Is games,
lost IA and had six ties. he

Wonder who his successor will
be. M uSh Dubosky, assistant

selection. what Mush knows
about football would fill several
books. and the boys would like
him, too.
Well, wen all know by the time

SYNOPSIS

Mary Avery, a widow who lives in the
harbor town of Satuit, Mass, with two
negro maids, Sarah Darbe and Bessie Will
Aiams, writes manuscript describing the
famous Second Head murder, which oc-
Cured on her estate. Next to Mary live
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Stow who every year
give summer masquerade party. One of
the guests of this function is murdered.
Nearby live Dr. and Mrs. Geary and their
married daughter Edith and her husband
Alfred Bray; Doctor Myron Marden and
his step granddaughter, Caro- Prentiss,
beautiful young girl who was born III
France. Next live Paul and Lora Eames
and their daughter Molly. Molly was en-
gagged to the murdered man, Ace Blaikie.
She had previously been engaged to Walter
Treadway, who had been Blaikie's secre-
tary, but the engagement was suddenly
broken and he had left town. Other neigh
bors are the Fairweather sisters, Flora,
hopeless invalid, and Margaret. All but the
latter two attend the masquerade. Mary's
eight year old niece, Sylvia Sard, is visiting
her for the summer. The wooded part OF
Mary's estate is called the Spinney. In 1t
as tiny log cabin, called the Little House.
On the day of the masquerade excitement
is high. Mary decided to take Sylvia, who
IS an unusually observant child. Caro- Prem
tiss and Molly Eames drop in during the
afternoon. Soon car arrives and Blake,
Doctor Marden and Bruce Hexson, friend
OF Aces, alight. Molly is impatient to leave
and they all excuse themselves. AT the
party Sylvia identifies each of the masked
guests as they arrive. Ace comes garbed
as Julius Caesar. Molly Eames appears as
a Snow Queen, accompanied by a man in
Treadway They dance together continu
ously Caro- Prentiss and Marden arrive
dressed in Revolutionary costumes, the doc
tor wearing ieweled shoe buckles. When
The guests unmask, Ace, Walter and Molly
have disappeared Sarah Darbe confdes to
Mary that someone apparently had spent
the night in the Little House. Sylvia finds
a shoe buckle in the Spinney. Sarah walks
down to the Little House and returns
screaming. She has found Ace Blaikie
stabbed to death in the Spinney. Mary sum-
mons Patrick OBrien, chief of police. Her
manuscript recalls early impressions of Ace
how he had been wealthy, the most pop
ular boy in town, how he had gone to Paris
to study medicine, became an aviator in
the World war, returning to practice IN
Satuit how he was recklessy generous and
abe principal in scores of love affairs. Bruce
Hexson had come back from the war with
Ace. He was a lawyer, a man of private
means and had got" religion, become
virtual recluse. Sarah tells Patrick that
someone had slept in the Little House the
night of the murder. Patrick reveals that
Ace had gone to the Spinney to meet Tony
Torriano, his bootlegger. He does not be-
lieve Tony guilty. He also discloses that
Walter Treadway had been in the Little
House Meanwhile Walter and Molly come
to Mary's house, unaware OF the tragedy.
Walter readily admits he had spent the
night in the Little House, since he had
come to town secretly. He and Molly are
thunderstruck by the news of the murder.

LafaYette'S Visit to Ohio

When Gen. Lafayette stopped at
Gallipolis, Ohio, during his tour Of
America in 1925, the residents there
did not wish to be outdone by any
other community in showing their
esteem. So one of their gestures
was the stretching of a beautiful
carpet from the boat landing to the
top of the river bank for their dis
tinguished guest. But democratic
Lafayette, when he stepped off the
boat, ignored the carpet and
trudged to the top of the bank
through the mud, amid the cheers
OF his hosts.

The word kibitzer is supposed to
be derived through Yiddish from
German kibitz, the name of the old
world bird variously known in Eng

plover. This bird, it is said, not
only stands around in the fields and
watches the farmers work, but its
shrill cry scares game away upon
the approach of hunters. Accord
