sedately for a person who is filled
with the jubilant desire to hop and
skip for sheer gladness.
I couldn't explain why I wanted
her in that room next to the de-
tective, but I did, and had won.
I heard no more of her proposed
change, and I was willing to bet
that she didn't even mention it to
| Neal
That night and the next morning
were quiet and peaceful. I didn't do
much work. Everything seemed to
run like clockWorks in Chloe's
competent hands. She did make a
pretense Of consulting me about
many things, but, as I always took
her advice, they were rather one
sided consultations.
In the afternoon Josie and Neal
were obliged to go to the village on
some business connected with
their mothers interment, and I
seized upon the opportunity to
clean JOsie's bedroom, which 1 now
was occupying with her. I knew
that Josie and her mother did a
great deal Of the busting and
vacuum cleaning, and I was de-
termined that Chloe should not
think l was lying down on the job.
I offered that morning to help her
clean the rooms which were in use,
but she refused.
"There's so few rooms bein' used,
Miss Gordon, that kin do it all an
there's no need of yo' agittin'
yo'self all fused up" she said
firmly. "Yo' JUS tend to Miss Josie.
Keep her mind busy so she won't
lie cryin' over her pore ma. That
cnile's had JUS about all she can
stand up to-"
And when I looked critically at
Josie's white strained face, I was
forced to agree that Chloe was
right. Josie never complained.
OccasiC lally her lovely eyes would
grow b ,lrred with the tears she so
valiantly restrained, and at night
heard long painful signs coming
from the other twin bed. But her
composure was so gently main
too blantant sympathy. A warm
hand squeeze or a gentle pat on the
shoulder was my limit.
Now I determined to have the
room fresh and CHEEKY when she
returned. It wasn't hard work. A
careful busting and hopping, fol-
lowed by a few moments with the
vacuum cleaner, and I turned off
the switch with the knowledge that
her room was as dainty as Josie
herself
A soft creaking in the hall TO-
cussed my attention. I listened. 1t
came again. The memory of Josie's
ransacked room flashed into my
mind. I snapped the switch back
o. again and, under cover of the
motors hum, crossed the room and
threw open the door.
Coral was standing in front Of
the second door across the hall, the
door of Mrs. Peake's empty room.

sending kilograms canceling the
reservations Of the expected guests
and following them up with letters

were expected that very day and I
booked rooms for them at an inn
at the other end of the town. That
was all we could do for them under
the circumstances. I provided for
overnight rooms and meals. After
that they could go or stay as they
pleased.
The police released the body of
Mrs. Peake, and Josie and Neal
arranged for the funeral to be held
on the second day, Thursday. I
don't know what the police did that
day, if anything. I only talked with
Captain Lancy once. That was
when Coral, her nose tip-tilted
scOrnfully, came to me and de-
manded to be moved into another
room.
'The idea Of my having to come
to you," she finished disdainfully.
I didn't blink an eye at her. I'd
put her in the room I wanted her
in, and was determined that there
she would stay. But I wasn't in

knew trick worth two of that.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE


JOSIE'S conclusion that it must
have been Barry who killed her
mother seemed to me to be full of
holes, but before I could collect
my scattered wits to answer her,
Alan Murray ~leaped the picket
fence and came toward us. 1 rose to
go, but Josie put out a restrain
ing hand.
"Stay with me, Sally. If you're
here Neal can't say anything and
1 just can't have a quarrel with
him today"
Her great brown eyes filled with
tears, and 1 settled myself back
into my chair, determined to play
gooseberry to the nth degree
The usefulness with which she
greeted him left no doubt in my
mind as to her feelings for him
a feeling I am sure he reciprO-

"Have the police learned any,
thing yet, Josie ?" Alan asked after
nothings with me.
Nothing, so far as 1 know. But
they questioned us all again this
morning. I'm so tired, Alan. I wish
could go to sleep and not wake
up until it is all over"
Alan shot one quick glance at
me. Whether he read my sympathy
in my facet never could play
poker-or not, I have no way of
knowing, but he reached across
and took Josie's hand into a com
forting clasp, a clasp he main

There was a brief silence; then

house this morning."
"The police! Over at your house?
What did they want?" Josie

liberately disregarded the fact that
Alan, as well as Miss Ivy, was
somewhere near when her mother

"They asked all sorts of ques-

COUNTIES MAY GET
FEDERAL ROAD aid
THROUGH new BILL
STATE AID ROADS TO
BE ELIGIBLE FOR
FEDERAL AID

Means to break the legal and
financial bonds which have pre-
vented most Minnesota counties
/ from participating in the use of
federal funds for construction of
secondary and feeder roads and
to make available to them more
than $1,147, 900 of accumulated
federal aid secondary moneys for
county highway improvements,
are set up in bill prepared for
introduction in both senate and
house this week.
The measure would set up a
secondary highway revolving
fund from gas tax revenues,
counties retaining the full right
to determine what part, if any, of
their gas tax appointments
should be set up to match federal
money on improvements thus
made possible.
Under the present system, the
federal aid highways act allows
money to each state for secondary
roads. But under the Minnesota
trunk highways act, the attorney
general has ruled that state funds
cannot be used on county roads.
Therefore, when federal aid
roads are designated within a
county, the state is forced to re-
quire that the county put down
its share of the cost in cold cash
before a contract is let.
This requirement has prohibit
ed most counties from taking adj
vantage of federal aid as they
were unable to advance the sums
required.
The bill proposed is really an
enabling act which will allow the
state to act as the county's agency
in matching federal aid with
moneys from the gas tax re-
volving fund.
Counties then can let contracts
and return moneys into the re-
volving fund as payments come
due and deduct the amount from
their normal ALLEGATION of the gas
tax.
Under the proposed act, most
of Redwood county's state aid
roads would be eligible for fed
eral aid" says Richard Cook,
county engineer "And if the bill
is passed, most of the future con-
struction on state aid roads will
be paid one-half by the federal
government"
Heretofore the county has foot
ed the entire bill.
IF government standards are
too high, the county doesn't have
to go in on the plan.
However, our standards are
high enough now SO that there
has been no question on them"
Mr.. Cook has been in confer
ence with state highway officials
on the bill.

Big Majority
of Farmers
Will Comply
CLAUSSEN EXPLAINS
REGULATIONS; AAA
SIGNUP COMPLETE

Approximately 80 per cent of
Redwood county farmers have
signed to participate in the 1889
.AAA program, George Claussen,
soil conservation office chief, an
nounced as sign-ups were COM
pleted Monday.
Since there has been some mis-
understanding regarding rules of
the program, Mr.. ClauSSen wish
es to stress the following regula-
tons:
Corn cannot be used as a cover
crop or green manure crop in this
area.
If flax is grown to be called
non-depleting it must be used as
a nurse crop for legumes or per-
ennial grasses of which good
stand is established. Flax can
not be used as hay or pasture or
green manure crop.
If all of a farmers so-called
non-depleting acres are used for
fax, he must seed grass in the
total acres so planted to fax.
Sudan, millet, field peas and
SoybeanS are nOn-depletlng when
used for hay or pasture, but are
depicting when harvested for
seed.
Summer fallow is non-deplet-
ing, but no soil building units can
be earned in this area unless the
land has been condemned by the
weed committee.
To secure maximum payments
under the program, farmers must
follow the rules closely and avoid
exceeding their allotments. Mr..
Claussen advises measuring fields
to be sure of correct paintings.
There may be large penalty
for exceeding corn allotmentS, he
warns, and farmers may not be
in line for corn loans should they
overplant.

The big schoolyard appears de-

Betty has advanced swiftly ir
her studies with personal atten-

Luverne isn't actually reading

There's no letting down in

class. Hours are 9 a. m. to $3.50 p

Betty is the daughter of Mr.
