said. You might become queen OF the ether.

Without telling Craig what she was doing,
she made the voice test She began work the
next week. Jim Ramsey apologetically offered
her hundred week to start, but promised
that if she succeeded, the salary would keep
we'll abreast of her success. She had sue
ceeded far beyond her widest dreams, and
Craig had been as thrilled as she had been.
Leslie never ceased being grateful to him for
his attitude.
When Leslie finally became Leslie Hamil-
ton, Inc with offices in midtown skyscraper,
Craig called her his T. B. w. - Tired Busi-
ness Woman and sometimes, when she
came home exhausted, offered to take her out
on a party with covey of Foes Boys.

glamorous Miss Hamilton isn't allowed any
thing so unromantic as the snitiles
Craig was a Joy. He never complained
about her appearance when she was relaxing
at home; he did not mind if she was too busy
or tired, as she so often was to go out with
him. Leslie was intelligent enough to know
that other men, whose ego could not have
survived the reflected celebrity of being
Leslie Hamitons husband, must inevitably
discuss Craig's apparent Incidence Yet if
any of their barbs stung him. Craig never
exhibited his scars to her.
She was still as much in love with him as
ever She often flattered him by telling him
that any woman was fool to marry anybody
but Craig Hamilton Secretly she believed it,
too.
She now thought that another five years
of success would be all that she needed.
She would be thirty-fve then, still young
woman. They both wanted baby, but Craig
it would be fatal to her career to drop out
of the picture for year just at present.
In l94l she ought to have two hundred and

Oddly enough she began to see less and
less of Craig. He was usually at home for
dinner but more and more often he would get
up around eight-thirty or nine and announce
that he was going out for a while. ITO

Once she said. II love to be with you,
darling know it must be dull for you here,
but couldn't you - well, couldn't you go out
during the day and see your friends''
You know everyone else is working during
the day." he answered. Which was true, of
course, but the way he said it somehow made
her feel as though she were to blame.
One night in early spring, Leslie determined

to accompany him on one
of his sudden forays. He
looked a bit startled when
she announced that she was
ready. You're not going
like that, are you?" he asked.
Certainly. What's wrong

Nothing. Only l thought
- oh, nothing"
They went to a play.
Leslie slept soundly through
the third act, but when it
was over she suggested that

which made her more sleepy
than ever and was on the
point of suggesting that

Limited Press Stan CorrespOhuehJ
 Pittsburg, June 1o.--(UP)-Au" thorities believed today that Mrs. Martin J. Teely and her two young children, found dead in their home late last night, were murdered.
 The children, Robert. 5, and Janice, 3, were found in their beds with stab wounds in the head. They also appeared to have been straii- gled. The mother, also strangied, was found face downward in the liv- ing roomcfha had two deep wounds in the temple. A bloody icepick lay nearby. \. A. s,,..,, @ .''T Suicide Suspected
 Investigators at first considered the possibility that the mother did away with her children and then committed suicide. But John ArtS, of the coroner's office, said suicide was a physical impossihility, cofisid- ering the method of strangulation, the two temple wound and the poe sition of the body. The murder suicide theory was further discount" ed by the picture of a contented, normal family life.
 There were several baffling phases to the crime. First, authorities have been unable to find a motive for murder. Second, the Feely'S home, an old colonial house, far back from the street, was locked from the inside. None of the win- dow screens appeared to have been tempered with.
 Seen Early Thursday
 Mrs. Feely and her children were last seen alive at 1880 a. in., Thurs day by MT. and Mrs. Charles Young, who live in the upstairs flat. The Youngs found her packing and 'tidying up" preparatory to leaving with her children to join her hus-

Herbert Hoouer Goes Back To Ols Positior,|

 at Convention
lcopyrlght, lsse, by Unlted Pressl

Copyright, 1886, by United Press)
 Paio Alto, Cal, June lo--tUP)-- Former President Herbert Hoover went back to work today at his old job of mining engineer.
 Happy at his political vindication at the republican convention in Cleveland, where he ended his pub- lie career by receiving ono of the greatest ovations the republican party had ever given any of It's leaders, Hoover, friends said, is now determined to concentrate on mat ters other than politics.
 Up to Others
 He feels that the campaign he has been waging against the New Deal for more than e year has ct last crystalized into definite movement, and that 1t is now up to others to carry on the fight he hopes will place the republican party back in the White House next November.
 His immediate ambition, 1t was said, was to re-cstablish himself as Q consulting mining engineer--the career that made him famous in his early days and led to his relief work in Belgium and ultimately to the White House.
 Away from Home
 Eager to carry out his program without loss of time, Hoover, 1t was learned, was away from home today on an assignment to examine a California mine. l,
 He set out yesterday within less than 24 hours after returning from an eastern trip that included a visit to Cleveland where he had been in- vited to address the convention and where he made his comeback and last exit.
 Hoover, intimates Said, really was carefree for the firstt time in many months. He is satisfied with the re- publican strategy fbr e vigorous campaign this summer and fall. and feels that the party's leadership is in strong hands.
