David Marshal bent over Bruce
Ramsay's body. He saw a bullet hole
over the heart Probably killed him
instantly" he said.
He looked more closely. and asked
the sheriff to raise the body a little
higher. Bruce Ramsay had fallen for
ward, left arm outstretched, right
hand caught under him as he fell. The
body was rigid. in the first stages of
rigor mortis. The fingers of the right
hand were stretched out, and against
the palm of the hand was the butt of a
revolver. Matt Rice took the gun
from the rigidly outstretched hand
and Inspected it. Trouble, all right.
Bruce must have shot at Keith before
he got plugged"
What makes you think it was

1T had to be. Wasn't the lad comm

that Bruce chased 'em with a gun.
They must have had a quarrel. an

fast. Then Alan most likely got him.

Catching a sunburst on late
autumn day is not difficult matter

This will permit you to choose a

In taking sunbursts, filters must be
used with judgment. not indiscrimi-

But it's pretty clear-cut."
"You reckon so?" inquired David
mildly.
'Surest thing. It's like l said before:
Judith meets Alan here the way folks
heard her arrange on the phone. He
probably packed a gun, figurin' that
there might be trouble - everybody
hereabouts knows that Ramsay is

shoots an hits, an Ramsay falls for
ward with the gun in his hand. just
like we found him.
Sounds reasonable, Matt. reckon
you'd better pick up Alan and see
whether the bullet in Ramsay's body
checks with his gum"
1T wouldn't mean anythin'. Who's
to say that Alan didn't have two guns,
an that he might not have thrown
away the one he used to kill Ramsay?
If he denies the story - why, that's
most likely what he did Fling a gun
into the marshes an it'd never be
found" The sheriff moved closer to
the apothecary. Il hate to see your

like this. David. Why not git the lad
to tell the truth an claim it was self

Hell tell the truth all right. That

You reckon he took Judith back to

Il doubt it. Not if he shot Ramsay"
There amt no question he done
that. Hell. there amt nobody else had

Then We might as well 60. You'll
most likely find Alan back in Seaville.

The sheriff scratched his head and
stood staring down at the body of
Bruce Ramsay. Il don't like the looks

Then. suddenly, his face was trans

with amazing speed the length of the
room and leap up the stairway leading
to the balcony. They heard his feet
overhead and then a sharp cry. "Hey

England's Great Liberal Editor.

r ONDON.-The two leading act
ors on the European stage re-
mind one of that archaic
~ weather gauge in which the
man used to appear when it was wet
and the wife when it was fine. They
were never on show together. Nor
do Hitler and MusSolini occupy the
center of the stage at the same time
Last year was MuSsolini's turn, and,
now that Hitler is catching the lime
light. the Duce is content to be in the
shadow. For one thing. he is busy
digesting the very handsome meal he
made last year. For another, he is
clearly waiting upon events to direct
his footsteps.
So far as the process of digestion
is concerned, he has much reason to
be satisfied. Whether the Ethiopian
adventure will produce a dividend in
the long run remains to be seen; but
politically it has succeeded beyond
all expectations. He has captured a
country as big as France and Ger
many in defiance of European opposi-
ton, and now, one by one, the pro-
testing nations are accepting the ac-
complished fact and making the best
Of it. Some of them, who are out on
the prowl themselves, have openly
accepted the new empire by de jure
recognition. Germany was the first
to give the lead, and she was quickly
followed by Austria. Hungary and
Albania. Now Switzerland has joined
in the same whole-hearted recogni-
ton, much to the disguest of the
League world. For not only is she a
member of the League which Italy
flouted-she is the seal Of the League
itself, the keeper of the very sane
tuary which has been violated. Her
shameless action, as the Manchester
Guardian observes, is fair measure
of the contempt in which the League
is now held by some of its members.
Even the nations which took the
initiative against Mussolini have come
shamefacedly to heel by sort of a
recognition, de facto but not de jure,
expressed by setting up consulate
in the new empire in place of the
legation which existed in the Abys-
sinia that has gone. Mussolini may
be excused If he smiles at this in
genious discrimination, which white
washes the whole episode for him as
thoroughly as he could wish. Japan
led the way in this half-recognition
policy and Britain and France have
followed suit. 1t has been a bitter
pill for the British public to swallow;
but the government, in drinking the
Ethiopian cup of humiliation to the
dregs, have argued that, in the present
condition of Europe, it is better to
accept the accomplished fact than to
leave it as a permanent bar to an
understanding with Italy.
There is force In this and the fruits

conference at Lima in 1898, should be,
also, listed on the debit side, for one
Of the main purposes of the Buenos
Aires parley, the coordination of the
existing peace machinery, had been
happily achieved in the Mexican
project.
The same must be said of the
formula for the definition of an ag-
gressor, suggested by Foreign Min
lister Finot of Bolivia, for the lack of
such definition may in the future rem
der difficult the application of some
of the instruments devised at Buenos
Aires.
Against these shortcomings, must be
weighed the treaties and conventions
listed on the credit side, the numer-
Gus additional resolutions dealing with
cultural and economic means intended
to bring about what has been de-
scribed as moral disarmament, and,
above all, the unprecedented psyche

conference, which has made possible
the dawning of truly new era In
Pan-American relations.

are already apparent. MusSolini's
record will not encourage any country
to bank on his loyalty to any cause
which does not pay him, He fights
for his own hand all the time and
would scorn to be taken for a good
European. He is frankly up for auc-
ton and is out to get the best price
in the best market. And there is
little doubt which he regards as the
best market. His f1irtations with Hit
Ter were never much more than a
fineSSe in the game, and, now that
the Franco rebellion has gone off at
half-cock, his dreams of making the
Mediterranean an Italian lake have
been put into cold storage 1t was
one thing to think of Italy as the
overload of a Fascist Spain-it is
quite another to think of Spain as
an outpost of Germany at the gate
way of the midland sea and the At
lantic.
Hence, the deeper Hitler got into the
Spanish business the more Mussolini
was disposed to get out of it, He has
no misapprehension as to the perils of
that business and no doubt as to the
relative value of the forces which
would be engaged if things came to a
serious showdown. With Germany he
would be engaged in a very doubtful
gamble-with Britain and France his
cooperation would be decisive.
1t is these considerations that ac-
count for the significant facts that,
while he has outraged the League, he
has never retired from it, that he has
never lost touch with France, and that.
though his papers have vilified Brit
ain, he has been plainly anxious, on
economic and other grounds, for an
accommodation with her. That that
anxiety has been reinforced by the
vast rearmament program now in
progress in England goes without say
ing. That factor Is readjusting the
whole balance of Europe, and no one
Is more sensible of this than Mussolini.
