Miss Ode Dodson
Has Tough Time
On The Highway

Oxford, Dec ia motorist whose
daily work requires that she cope with
many emergencies, brought her own
self out of an emergency last Friday
night on the highway between Clarks-
vile, Va, and Stovall
The motorist was Miss Ode Dodson
superintendent of Maria Parham Hos
pital, Henderson.
Prompt response by Deputy Sheriff
L. ]. Yancey and Deputy Louis Hut
son of Stovall, ended the frightful dis
tress of the motorist.
Miss Dodson, when officers re-
sponded to her call from Bullock, de-
clared that two or more men driving
a Plymouth, had repeatedly pulled to
the side of her car as she drove to-
ward Oxford about $3.50 o'clock, but
each time had refused to pass when
she slowed her own machine.
At Bullock, Miss Dodson pulled to
the side of the road to permit the
other machine to go its way. How
ever, when she had driven down the
highway short distance, the machine
was observed backed into a side-road
and as she came along, lights of the
PdlhSQ Cal WcIS 1ldSucu uPOI ucl
own.
At the moment, there was car APP
preaching from the opposite direction,
SO she swung to the right side of the
highway and made a complete turn
and followed the approaching car to
Bullock where she telephoned for Of
ficers.
After arriving at Bullock, Mr..
Yancey learned the story of the lady
distress and then recalled that as he
drove toward Bullock, he had OBJ
served a parked car and short dis
lance from this two men were using
q flash-light in a manner to indicate
they were searching for some lost OBJ
iect on the road. Upon their return
20 Oxford Mr.. Yancey said there was
no indication of the whereabouts of
the strangers.
Officers Yancey and Hutson sug-
gested that the men in the car might
have been the escaped convicts being
sought for the shooting of the sheriff
and police officer at Burlington last
Tuesday night. They were of the
opinion that they might have been
determined to rob the lady or pos
sbly take her car to aid their flight
Mr.. Yancey said her experience had
left Miss Dodson in a nervous state
Ind so he drove his own car to ac-
company her to Henderson on the
highway.

TRY TO GIVE AWAY MONEY THEN SEE
 WHAT TROUBLE IS

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. - Don Hoover, executive secretary of the Oklahoma City Dairy Council, almost went to jail for trying to give away money.
 He was assigned by the council to give 600 one dollar bills to 600 housewives. His job was to call at homes, inquire if the lady of the house had a bottle of butter milk in the ice box and if she did to hand her $1 bill. The idea was to stimulate buttermilk sal es.
 Hoover reported that num- Der of housewives rejected the dollar with the statement there must be catch to it. But one slammed the door in his face.
 When Hoover was several houses away, the police radio pa trol car drew up to the curb and two officers stepped out to ques- ton him. The woman down the street had reported there was "a crazy man on my porch

GUN GALS IN BIG CITY
 LIKE MEN IN UNIFORM

CHICAGO, Nov. - Annie Gal bavy dropped around to the Shakespeare Avenue police sta ton and allowed as how she was looking for her sister, Mary, a two-gun gal and as good a cow hand as any man in Box Elder, Mont.
 But Chicago wasn't the purple sage country and Annie was wor ried. You see
 Mary has weakness for uni forms.
 It was two months ago that Annie. 25, and Mary, 19, came to Chicago from the great open spaces. They could handle them selves out there. They could ride like they were part of the horse. With six-gun they could shoot from either hip and stop a coy ote at 300 paces. But Chicago, somehow. was different.
 The girls came here, Annie said, to rescue their ma and pa John and Susie-and take them back to the 800-acre D-Diamond ranch where they belonged.
 They were out together last Tuesday when Mary clapped her eyes on the man in uniform.
 "She began maxim eyes at him right there," Annie said. Tt did n't make any difference that it was only a night watchnan's uni form"
 We got acquainted and pretty soon he asked us into a tavern for some suds. Mary had a couple of schooners and then she and this brass-buttoned watchman disappeared. haven't seen Mary since"
 Police located the watchman. He said he hadn't seen Mary, eith CT, that she left him at the tav- ern and told him she was going home-to John and Susie.
 Officers reprimanded Annie gently.
 But Annie" they said, know ing Mary's weakness, how did you happen to let her out of your sight in that tavern?"
 Annie blushed.
 Why she said, there was a fine-looking policeman on the corner and I stepped out to pass the time of day with him. I've got sort of hankering for uni forms myself"

CHAPTER IL

M. PICON glanced at the tele-
phone mechanic. "And the last
time the telephone was known to
be in order, what was that Z"
1T understand that there was a
call at about six o'clock yesterday
evening. That was the last"
THANK you very much" Sam
Williams dismissed the young
man with friendly nod.
"Puzzlin','' commented Lord
Simon. Every puzzlin'."
st don't see why" Z could not
help replying. 1.-THE mechanic
sounded to me as though he was
right. Clippers. gloves all
handy"
at didn't mean that" returned
Lord Simon. But why did he
bother to do it? What was the
point of delayin' communication
with people outside? There were
plenty of people in the house =
Sergeant Beef cleared his throat
again, and prepared a volley OF
his heaviest sarcasm. 'sP'raps it
doesn't occur to your Lordship,
that being a murderer e might
ave been afraid of the police?"
Lord Simon smiled coldly. Il
am bound to say that didn't occur
to me-" he retorted, lighting a
new cigar.
Sergeant Beef grunted. "Such
things ave been known" was all
he said.
what you forget" murmured
Mgr. Smith, "is that there is one
thing at least in common between
the man who decides to<be MUIR
derer and the man who decides to
be monk. It is that each leaves
his fellows, and forever. And
nothing that either does to effect
that isolation is to be marveled
at. This, too, they have in COM
mon-each finds at last a cell. So
that while one man cuts an &C
quaintance, this other cut tele-
phone wire. And that is all there
IS to it."
There was silence for a mo-
ment, and I glanced about me.
The lounge itself was as cheerful
and normal as it had been at this
time yesterday, when we had sat
about, airily discussing the liter
allure of crime, instead Of the
actuality. But the wildly mis-
cellaneous people now gathered
here gave it an atmosphere Of I'M
reality, almost of the macabre.
Lord Simon, showing an inch of
delicate silk sock on his out
stretched ankles, certainly might
have been~ Dne of the Thurstons'
guests, but the little cleric, bun
died untidily into a small, wood
unframed armchair, belonged not
at all to this conventionally lux
urious background, and Sergeant
Beef, scribbling industriously in
his notebook, added an almost
sordid touch. Little M. Picon,
upright near the fire, and stopping
forward to brush the ash from
the CRATE. each time it fell there,
was birdlike enough to have
perched for moment here before
fiuttering to some other gather
ing. though his excessive manner
isms made him exotic in our very
English surroundings.
There was an inten+ness about
