Philip blew -out the last lamp and
closed the door Of the lodge while
Sally waited for him in the car.
AS they drove down the narrow
woods road, Philip was silent Sally
waited for him to speak. but finally
she said timidly:

Philip nodded. He's the man who
twice lured Mcdonald to the Palace
theater. He laid the fire that de-
stroyed the building, but he swears
he did not light the fire. He says the
plan was to burn the theater late that
night. when it was empty. He doesn't
know who started the fire. But he'll
have to prove that"

Sally.

Sally told how she had listened to
the row between old Mr. Morris and
Giles Benton, and how Giles had tried
to collect the blackmail money in re-
turn for Mrs. Picard's letters. She told
the story Of how Giles had brought
her to the lodge and finally sban-

This is the fourteenth annual meat
essay contest to be conducted. Par

a choice of several subjects, all of
which give them the opportunity to
present in essay form the knowledge
