 Tell Miss Franklin I'd like to see her"
 Mary walked in slowly. She gave Ladd 8 long stare. His face bore an expression of deep distress. There was concern in his eyes.
 "You look as if you hadn't slept much last night" she said quietly Then, Did you want to see me?' "Yes, you know more about this murder of Martin than anyone else. Why in the devil are you trying to protect that little tramp Clem Shirley?" He stared at her questioningly
 His heart was hot with anger as he mentioned the name Shirley. He remembered Jim Shirley.
 "I'm not trying 10 protect Clem Shirley" Mary insisted deflantly. 'Then give us the story"
 T don't know the story" "You know 1t too well," he cried violently. The whole things a farce. Who are you working for, me or Jim Shirley? You even know who the killer is."
 T don't" Mary was too angry to cry. She faced him, eyes fash ing. cheeks red. Ladd jumped up, tired and over- wrought. "You were the last person in Duke Martins apart ment. You called this office and tipped of Mac Rogers and you hung up the phone before he could ask you any questions, but he recognized your voice. What are you trying to sidestep?"
 He waited for her to speak. She said nothing. He seized her arm. Furious, she drew back Let me go," she protested
 You're fired unless you write that story" he said sharply
 "Very well then, I'm fred" she cried
 Again he reached out a hand to detain her, but she'd gone He braced his shoulders, moved away from the door. Pausing for a min- ute, he stared intently out the window, then rang for his secre- tary.
 Get me Commissioner Fenelon on the phone."
 He picked up the receiver. Hello, Fenelon. This is Ladd. I want you to arrest Mary Franklin for the murder of Duke Martin"

! whistled blowing. Mary sighed. She wished she were on board, leaving behind the gangsters who got shot, the debs who made fools of themselves and the crazy man aging editors who insulted their reporters.
 "Typewriters ready, Miss Frank lin", called Pete. Mary's heart wasn't in her i work. She moved slowly away from the window, stopped for a drink of water and picked up 8 stray letter in her mail box. The morning was interminable; two hours until noon. Could she stick 1t out? Hear about our mysterious phone tip, Marry" asked Crossie, walking over from the city desk. @
 He had been up all night and his eyes had glassy brightness as he fixed them intently on her. He needed a shave and his clothes were rumpled.
 "No, what was it?" she inquired indifferently.
 Watching her as a cat would Q mouse, Crossie described the build-up that led to the Gazette's scoop on the murder. Midnight the voice of a strange woman.
 "We beat all the other papers by two editions" he added ex- citedly, "but we don't know yet who made the mysterious call. Mac Rogers says she had a swell voice, /" He stared at her. "The boss phoned a while ago. He said when he got down he wanted to see you"
 AS Mary strolled back to her desk, Ladd came dashing through the city room, indifferent to his good looks, eager, impatient, lov- able. Her heart beat quickly. He did not see her. Hurt and vexed, she refused to look up from her typewriter when he passed by. His indifference exasperated her. To make it worse, he was un- aware of it.
 As he stopped tc say something to Crossie, it was evident that his one concern was the murder of Duke Martin.
 T want to talk with Mary Franklin" he said irrtiably. But before she comes in, send Rogers to me. The real story hasn't been scratched"
 still obvious of Mary, he strode across the room to his office. Rogers followed.
 What's the latest on the Mar tin shooting?" demanded Ladd, impatiently showing aside the opened mail which his secretary had laid on his desk.
 "Tuckie Thompson has been ar rested" A faint grin etched Rogers face.
 Ladd tapped his fingers on the desk top. Are you sure it was Miss Franklin's voice that gave you the tip from Martins apart ment?"
 "Yes." Rogers intensity was impressive.
 "You're certain 1t wasn't this Thompson woman?"
 Lord, there's no confusing those voices. Have you ever had Tuckie on the phone?"
 "All right. Play down Tuckie. Give teaser on this mystery woman. That's enough for the present"
 Ladd pressed the call button at the side of his desk as Rogers left.

Plotypus-PuzzIe To All Science

4 USTRALIA'S duck-billed plat 1A ypus has been puzzling the naturaists ever since the first specimen was found more than 150 years ago. Science has learned a great deal more about this unique little animal through the years, but the platypus is still i pretty much of a question mark. Is it fish or fowl or beast? That is apt to be your first query when you see the platypus in ZOO, and it is extremely unlikely that you will see one. This small, mole-like animal is completely at home in the water, with its webbed feet, has a bill like a duck, yet it is covered with fur, lays eggs and nurses its young.
 So science is puzzled, and rightly. The platypus seems to be one of those missing links" in the evolutionary chain. Consider its strange habits. It lives on small aquatic animals and muddy water from the bottoms of streams. Its two jaws cooperate in sitting out the mud to leave worms and other crustacea in the mouth.
 It digs a hole in the ground for nesting during the mating season and the female goes into sort of suspended animation during this period: The eggs are leathery- shelled. Curiously enough, the female usually presses two or three eggs together immediately after laying them so that it is hard to separate them even by force.
 As soon as the female takes to her nest, the male platypus de- serts her, but the mother shows exceptional cunning in taking care of her young. For one thing she has adequate defense in sort of spur in her back legs which elects an irritating fluid that causes a bad wound. And SO the cycle goes on. A platypus Is shown above on a current Australian stamp.

Southern New England Ice C0mpany's Product Is
 Ideal for Picnics

Ice is very much in the limelight these days and the Southern New England Ice company, Inc, with offices at "A Watertown avenue, is doing a splendid job of bringing this about.
 With the advent of the modern Ice refrigerator, the up-to-date housewife now can have refrigera- tion which costs less to buy and to own and at the same time gives her . higher type refrigeration in that the foods kept with ice re- main fresh much longer because of the moisture supplied by the melt ing ice.
 Coolerator is the name of this out standing air-conditioned refrigera- tor. Then there are ice cubes which the Southern New England Ice com- pany, Inc, supply in convenient cartons. These come by the hundred cubes and are welcomed in homes and taken along on picnics. The ice cubes are larger and f1lthered pure and absolutely taSte-free.
 Waterbury people have found that they can buy these "packaged" ice cubes at the plant or they will be delivered to their homes. Merchants selling perishable foods rely strongly on pure Southirn New England "sized fee" which they use in their display cases. Ice then, in many forms, as well as the Coolerator air.conditioned refrigerator are playing very important part in this city and according to the Southern New England Ice com pany, Inc. the sale of ice, ice cubes and Coolerator is mounting steadily.

CHAPTER XxIII

When Mary walked into the GaZ- ette next morning the city room was functioning in its quiet way Dog-tired, she slipped unnoticed tc her desk. She was aware however that everyone was reading copies o1 the paper, which was unusual al this hour, The first edition did moi some out ordinarily until II o'clock
 All the copies were marked eExtra" and all bore the same banner head in bold-face type across the top of the front page sDuke Martin Murdered; Cir Suspected.
 It gave Mary bitter sensation of pain to be back in the office where she had spent so much time in such close association with Tom Ladd. She felt as if he were dead With set face she sat down at heI desk and began making the rou- tine phone calls for the small items which go to make up a society page. Determined to ig- more the Martin story, she busied herself with small-fry.
 Mrs. Kingdom Morgan was giv- ing luncheon for five at the Colony. The Forsyth Goulds had closed their Tuxedo estate and were going to the CarolinaS for quail shooting. Mrs. Spalding Martin had a baby. Eff Whitney was getting divorce. Old MT Wesley Peters had the gout Thered been split at the Talleho Club. Mrs. Watts Ridley was wearing the Ridley emeralds again and couldn't move without two detectives. Tommy Dresser had married grass widow twice his age and his relatives, not hers, were protesting.
 After Mary had collected enough of this chatter she began writing her column, but it wasn't easy to concentrate. These were picayune details that irritated her mind. The picture of Duke Mar tins dead body remained in her memory.
 The called to Pete, the office boz. to put new ribbon in her typewriter, then got up and strolled across the room to look out the window while he did it.
 Her eyes wandered out over the bay. White caps danced on the blue waters. Sea-gulls skinned th3 waves. A great liner, in a convoy of bustling tugs, was mov- ing seaward, pennants flying,
