Synopsis: Detective Colwell of
the Graber-Vael private detective
agency is assigned the job of shad-
owing Mcdonald whose wife fears
gangster enemies are plotting to
murder him. Mcdonald is killed in
spite of Colwell's watchfulness.
Now, with Mcdonald dead the
smuggling ring which he led ha.
become disorganized. Colwell risks
his life to gather evidence by play
ing one against another.
Sorry, Otto. You boys play
o rough" He poked the gun in
his pocket, pulled open the door,
and swung down the corridor to
the elevator. His legs were weak.
Back there, he knew, they wonder
ed whether some game was being
played-or was his telephone sum-
mons bona fide? Accidental? Safe?
Passing through the lobby, Dan
nodded to the grinning clerk. He
almost collapsed on the sidewalk.
1t was the, tension of his danger
suddenly relieved, the bruises and
cuts and scratches and clouts with
gun butts that had robbed his
strength. Never before had he
appreciated the sweetness of out
door air, smoke-laden as it was
from a thousand factories!
He limped along, his face stern.
He had failed to learn the mean,
of smuggling in hat quarter mil
lion in snow, save that he possessed
the, license numbers of a particular
truck destined to carry some kind
of packing last with the stuff in
side. The correct numbers he had
in his memory. But all that pain
in Helen Fane's apartment had
been for nothing-or precious lit
tie.
Second, they would grab him
again if they could, and no ruse
would get him off. 1t would be
swift murder, sure this time. Quill
len could not afford to have Dan
walking the streets with that eye
witness story in his head of the
Staying of Arthur Mcdonald. Nor
could Graber permit Dan to live
peacefully with his knowledge ac-
quired about the dope ring.

derment and helplessness. He saw
Jlll standing beside him and he
thought he was still dreaming. She
seemed beautiful blur and he closed
his eyes and fell back upon the cot,
content just to look at her that way,
Then he couldn't see her as we'll and
he struggled to rise again. Everything
was SO confused; first, he saw a great
red street car, then Jill, then white
uniformed figures, then Jill. Every
thing bobbing, jumping, his head split
ting with pain. Slowly, his mind
groped its way back to reality and,
half-rising from the cot, he called
to her.
Then he saw her, standing there,
Just as she always must continue to.
He was delirious on every point but
one. That was that he wanted Jill
that he must tell her that he was
wrong, that he was sorry, that she
must believe him. There was no
effort to his talking. He had things
to say and they were said clearly,
rapidly, with curious sincerity
grounded in the truthfulness of the
unconscious mind He said what he
thought, just as if his thoughts them
selves were doing the talking.
Jill! Jill, come back! It was all
my fault and you must forgive me!
I've just had the most horrible
dream. I called to you, pleaded with
you, but each time you turned your
back and moved farther and farther
away. If only you could know the
agony 1 have known! Oh, not this!"
(He lifted hand weakly to his head.
But the torment of believing YOU
were leaving me forever. My sweet,
impetuous Jill"
YOUR note reached me as I was
going out the door and I should
have run straight to your arms in
stead of getting myself all mangled
up like this! You're so like a little
girl, Jill, and 1 love these childish,
lmpulsive things about you. Do you
know, darling, that you were in
such a hurry to get the note of to
me that you forgot to sign your
familiar scraWl at the end? It's all
over now, Jill, and just as soon as
1 can I'll be out of here and trying
to make up for all the unhappi-
ness"
Jill bent over him, tears misting
the smile in her eyes. Her love for
him and his need of her were only
too evident now. The lump in her
throat held back the explanation she
might have made earlier. Now he
would never know that when the
telephone called her to his side she
had discovered the last page OF that
note. Fortunately, through haste and
carelessness and perhaps her tears,
it had not been torn off with the
rest. 1t read:
But, even though spark of love
remains, I cannot endure your jeal-
ousy. I am going back to Phila-
delphia. Later we can discuss di-
vorce. In haste, Jill"

have ended their quarrel, but in

So silly, all of it. So utterly,

have been so unreasonable? How
could he have blamed her for the
fact that she was attractive to others?
Surely she hadn't encouraged the
attentions of Roses husband. And not
only that, but the poor sap had hardly
been responsible for his actions any
way. Even he couldn't be blamed. 1t
was no ones fault but his, Peters.

"last night was silly, wasn't it? I

nonchalance as to whether you went

please forgive me-"
And there it had stopped. How
like Jill, he thought, to end it that
way. No closing-no signature. He
folded the slips and returned them
to his pocket. What an impetuous
creature she was A woman and yet
child, deSerting the protection Of
mans whole being. Last night he
had denied her this and instead had
rallied her with words that must
have cut with their implications.
Jealousy was vicious thing, he con-
cluded, when it could distort a harm
less situation into a possible threat
to happiness.

INSTEAD OF sharing the others
admiring glances, he, alone,
wanted that privilege. He, not she,
was to blame, and yet, with a
child's impulsive forgiveness, she
had written her apology Long ago
he had fallen in love with this same
impulsiveness. His eyes closed in de-
Gghtful anticipation of their reunion.
He wished he could direct the driver
10 turn back home. Once he reached
the apartment it would not take long
to enfold Jill in his arms, and between
kisses would come the sworn promises
that this was the end of all their
quarrels.

JUDGE POWDERS
AMISH PROTEST
ON EDUCATION
Studies Case Of Father
Who Kept Girl Home

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3
UN.sJ.-Federal Judge George
A. Welsh today was bordering
the problem of whether or not IA
year-old buxom Rebecca King
should attend school until she is
at least IL as required by a new
Pennsylvania law.
Rebecca, the daughter of an
AmiSh father who recently spent a
night in Jail rather than pay a So
fine for refusing to send her to
school "flunked" an arithmetic
examination propounded by the
attorney for the school board to
show her educational incompe-
tency.
KNOWS HER FARMS
She revealed a commendable
knowledge of farm problems and
their solution, but a stiff arithme-
tic problem stumped her as she
underwent a test and did her les
sons in Judge Welsh's court room.
Under the rules of the Amish
faith that flourishes in Central
and Eastern Pennsylvania, Re
becca should leave school at IA to
take up her duties on the farm as
all good Amish girls do. But the
law requires at least another year
of schooling and before that ques-
ton can be determined Judge
Welsh must first decide the tech
nical question of. whether his court
or the State courts have jurisdic-
ton in the case.
On the witness stand Rebecca's
Father, Aaron King, a prosperous
farmer of nearby Chester county,
testified his religion teaches chill
dren should leave school at IA.
He said he feared excessive edu'
cation" will lead Rebecca away
from her parents faith.
NO HORSE TRADER
The girl answered several ques'
tons correctly and revealed a
goodly knowledge of farm prod
ucts and how to care for steers
raise turkeys and make apple
cider. Then she made two un
successful attempts to solve
"horse trading" arithmetic prob
lem, compounded by Truman D
Wade, the school board lawyer.
Once Judge Welsh objected
when Wade stunped Rebecca with
another question AMI the jurist
suggested perhaps we had better
get one of the schoC4 directors TX
answer these questions for us be
cause there seems to be some
doubt as to the right answers"
Rebecca expressed agreement
with her fathers stand. She pro
fessed to be much more interested
in cooking and tending COWS tnar
attending high school.
JURISDICTION UP
Turning toward Is bearded
Amishmen, all staunch supporters
of Kings charges, Judge Welsh
said he held the deepest sym
\. thy" for their religious tenet'
AMI their mode Of life, but ad
vised them that the question
whether the Federal courts hac
any right to interfere in thu
States enforcement of the schoo
code was of paramount impor
lance"
Wade challenged the jurisdic
ton of the Federal court anc
averred there was no religious
factor in the case since STATE
courts ruled several years age
that religious Sects cannot ignore
