Steve soberly. "Why should we? You
know, after you're gone we boys will
have to get along with what's left
Our lives are here. Well be coming
in contact with Phyla and Marjorie
and the others for years. We've got
foresight, my girl"
That explained part of it, but not
all. Steve and the others were hu-
man. And being human they wouldn't
let anything like that stand in their
way.
Even SO, it hurt Steve had hurt
her. She realized with a sinking SEN
sation how hopeless it all was. She
was fool to stay here longer, to ex-
pose herself to torture Sooner or
later Phyla and Marjorie, being
women, would discover what was wrong
with her, and that would make her
suffering intolerable
CHE packed her things and slowed
them in the rumble seat OF her
roadster and then went looking for
Phyla.
But. darling!" Phyla exclaimed.
you just can't 60 noW!"
Annabelle knew it would be like
that. She was prepared for the ses-
sion that would result in her tearing
herself away. leaving Phyla almost in
tears. 1t was harder than she ex-
pected, but presently the nose of the
| roadster was pointing along the high
way and she was blinking her eyes in
order to keep her vision cleared
The scream of a horn behind her
startled her and she swung over with
an angry gesture. Her anger mounted
when a coupe shot past, cut across her
course and forced her to pull up.
''Of all the idiotic-" She stopped
abruptly, her heart soundly humping
against her ribs.
Now, wait a minute" Steve Day
was saying. He put one foot on the
running board and leaned inside 1t
wasn't the same Steve she had known
There was something different about
him, though she couldn't quite under
stand what
"You shouldn't have taken it to heart
So he was saying. What I said
wasn't true. 1t couldn't have been, or
else 1 wouldn't have followed-iust for
the purpose of telling you IL did ap-
preciate a good thing when l saw it,
but it's only now that had the cour-
age to say So
And right then, with a wild feeling
of JOY. Annabelle knew exactly what it
was that was different about him. He
was, bless his gorgeous heart, acting
human!

understand Phyla or Phyla's friends,
and, of course, her pride wouldn't per-
nit her to ask When Phyla had
asked her down to Leland for a weeks
vacation. she had accepted eagerly. A
week with Phyla would mean a change
from the routine of Ocean Bluffs. 1t
would mean meeting new people, new
men. 1t would be fun, she thought,
even though Leland was no more than
a wide place in the road
She had expected to knock 'em dead
in Leland. After all, girls didn't come
much better looking than Annabelle
these days. Moreover, she had been
around. She had Travelled in Europe
and was graduated from a smart fin
ishing school. She knew the answers
She was sophisticated, and wasn't it
reasonable to suppose, therefore, that
the SNUG little group of young folks
in Leland would sort Of open their
eyes?
Snug! That, she thought, was the
word that summed them up to per-
fection. Why, you'd think that they
were all worldly wise and had had as
much experience as she. You'd think
all the girls were as good looking and
that all the boys were used to tearing
around with movie actresses or some
thing. They were polite. They were
even kind, but she didn't get the rec
ognition she expected. that her young
spirit needed in order to make her
happy. They were all very matter-of-
fact about her. She tried to set the
town on fire and they Immediately
squelched the blaze with their COOL
Indifferent manners.
She wouldn't have cared-she
wouldn't have cared one bit if it weren't
for Steve Day. Funny, she thought.
to meet man-the man-in a little
town like Leland and have him turn
into something that just didn't care
how you looked or the way you acted
or how smartly you carry on con-
VerSation.
You make me furious, Steve Dav.
You're the strangest. the-the dumb
est man I've ever met"
OF COURSE, she Immediately re-
gretted saying that 1t was dead
give away, And Steve, though he
might be dumb, was quick on the up
take.
Why" he asked. qrinning inso-
lently, plainly delighted that she was
furious
Annabelle bit her lip Why not tell
him? She had gone so far. why not
go all the way? 1t wouldn't make
any difference. She'd be gone in a
couple more days
You're SNUG" she said. you're
satisfied with what you have and never
seem to want or care about anything
else"

Meaning" he
said, looking at her
steadily, that we're
not bright enough
to appreciate Anna
belle. Friend, eh?"
Annabelle colored.
1t was, as far as
she knew, the first
time in her life she
had ever blushed.
1t made her wild.
1t took her fully a
minute before she
felt she had her
self well enough
under control to
speak.
You're remark
ably quick, my

smile that was
rather a 81 C kl y

FAMILY
RAPS SUICIDE
CONTENTION
Detectives Agree on
Verdict ReaItyMan
Took Own Life

The mysterious death of Charles
F. Keene, who disappeared from
lk-bound boat last May 10
and whose weighted body was
found in Chesapeake Bay, has
been definitely declared a suicide
by detectives investigating the
case.
Investigators yesterday made
their formal report to States At
torney F. Kirk Maddrix, at Girls
field, Md, citing 10 reasons why
they believed Keene had taken
his own life.
The suicide verdict was accepted
by Washington police, including
Detective Sergt. jeremiah Fla
herty, who took over the local in
vestigation, but met with objec-
tions from the dead mans imme-
date family.
Maddrix also had before him
the report of the Smith Island cor
oner's jury, which decided that
Keene had been murdered when
it pondered the case Immediately
following the finding of his body
in Chesapeake Bay on May 81. He
said last night:
'The prepOnderance Of evi.
dence at this time tends to
show that Keene took his own
life. However, the case is still
OPEN"
A spokesman for the dead mans
family took exception to all 10
points brought out in the report.
One of the major exceptions was
that Keene was in desperate fl
nancial straits. The family'S
claim that, while he was not af-
fluent, his prospects were brighter
than they had been for some time.
The family also stressed the vari-
ETY. of articles in the brief case
found around Keene's neck and
demanded to know where they
came from before the case was
closed as a suicide.

WITNESS HIT 5
POLICEMAN IN
TICKETCASE
Statement of Nurse
In Home Of Winfield
Heard at Trial

Members Of the police trial
board had before them again TO-
day q controversial sworn state
ment that a Washington police
man received mysterious envelopes
at his home, that beer and gro
ceries were also delivered, and
that subsequently there would be
a great deal of telephoning relat-
ing to traffic tickets.
Policeman Wexford Winfield,
the accused, was the recipient, &C.
cording to a statement Of Miss Jes-
sic Ball, a trained nurse living in
the Burlington Hotel, who said she
had attended Mrs. Winfield and
had been in their home several
times.
Date in Dispute
Her sworn statement, the date
of which has been in dispute be-
fore the trial board-the original
being date February, 1887. after
having been changed from Sep
TENDER, and a photostatic copy
made before the change was writ
ten in showing September, 1887
was much in the fore as the trial
of the policeman went into its
fourth day.
Today'S proceeding was en-.
livened when Attorney Teunis F.
Collier, Georgetown traffic crusa-
der, who stirred UP the charges
against the policeman, started to
light paper matches and throw
them on the floor as Attorney
Charles E. Ford, Winfield's attor.
ney, cross-examined him. Ford de-
clared:
els this a habit Of yours?
The last man / saw striking
matches and throwing them on
the floor was in st. EIiZabeth's.
/ object to anyone striking
matches when I'm examining
him."
ODJectlOn sustained
His objection was sustained by
the board, and no more matches
were struc.
Miss Balls statement, reintro.
duced. was the one in which she
quoted Winfield as having re-
marked to his wife in her hearing:
"I'm not going TO take care
Of his ticket if he don't come
across. What does he thing 1
ann"
There would be a great deal of
telephoning when the mysterious
envelopes were opened upon Win
fields return home each day, Miss
Ball declared.

charges.

One Of the years outStand.
ing featS is that fellow in Kan
sas who just wrote 1916 words
on the back of a postcard. That

This Kansas chap has bettered
the average by 1911 words.
A guy like that must be able
