WASHINGTON, Dec. 8-So de- cisive was the swing toward the Republicans in the election that close observers suspect it may have an important influence on a certain member of the Supreme Court.
 For a long time it has been known to those intimate with the court that Justice McReynolds, one of the conservatives" on the bench has wanted to retire. That was true even before the court fight.

HOLDING THE FORT TILL 40

Now the Republican political gains add a new factor. By staying through l940, McReynolds might find a Republican president in of- flee to appoint his successor. So court observers are discounting the persistent talk that McReynolds will walk out soon.
 Should he leave now, appoint ment of a liberal successor might commit the court to that philoSo- phy for a number of years. If Me Reynolds stays on until Republi- can is president, he might materi- ally reduce the length of time that the present liberal tendency will prevail.

In his stomach. he couldn't exhibit
weakness in front of her.
MacCauley looked at him with con-
tempt. Come outside"
The young man managed to smile
1T Denise as he left the room.
Steely icicies OF terror pierced her
heart a. she thought of the malevo-
lenoe in the managers sulky, dark
face, and the answering meekness OF
the assistants mien. She could not
know that MacCauley was merely re-
spending to an urge to show his

She ran to the door, and stopped
short on the threshold, one hand
upon her breast to still the frenzy
of her heart. the other on her lips
to choke back q scream.
The two men were standing in
the sand before the steps. Even
as she looked in fascinated horror,
MacCauley's big hand chopped in q
Seml-circle. Pearson raised his arms
to defend himself even as the blow
fell fiat against the side of his head,
and hurled him sideways to his knees.
Denise WINGED at the cruel, sharp
echo of the slap, and her head rang
in sympathy with the shuddering i'm
pact.
But Pearson was on his feet In q
moment. before MacCauley barely
had time to taunt him to stand up
and take what was coming to him.
The youngster rushed in close and
rained a series Of short. hard punches
into MacCauley's brawny torso. They
produced no effect whatever, the big
man not even attempting TO cover
up.
Pearson screamed insults as he
blindly battered his fists and spent
his strength. His face was distorted
with rage and his lips writhed con-
stantly. Tears were in his eyes and
unreasoning hatred in his soul
MacCauley's arms suddenly shot out
and pinioned the failing fists. Slow
ly he drew the helpless Pearson into
the crushing circle OF his chest and
arms. Nov" he rumbled, you re
going to get the beating you've had
coming to YOU
His embrace hugged the breath
from Pearson's body and violent red
spread over the strained face OF the
victim. But Pearson didn't say a
word. his reeling. tortured brain re-
membering that he was watched.
Denise was too paralyzed to utter

to do more than feebly lean against
the jamb Of the door and see a man

ruthless arms of another The thing
was beyond her understanding, and
she felt wave of nausea mounting

Denise blinked and saw Christopher

Of her first day at Timora when the
two faced each other in much the
same mood.
Stay out OF this" MacCauley
warned. relaxing his arms about
Pearson. This is none Of your busi-
