Gordon. It may seem q sneaky
thing to do, but while I'm investi-
eating a murder, never hesitate
to listen to anything which is being
said. Now he leaned forward
and eyed Alan intently-" anything
out of the ordinary always pays for,
investigation, and judge, from
your words, that this is a verv
extraordinary happening, at least
to you. Am I right?"
Alan, I think, resented Captain
Lancy's words, yet under the cir
cumstances he was forced to agree
with what the detective said. His
voice, when he spoke, was low and
firmly controlled.
ut is, Captain Lancy. can't UNI
derstand why Josie-Miss Peake-
should take this step. If we had
quarTeled or any misunderstanding
had come between us, anything at
all, could see a reason for her act.
But l left her just before dinner
last night. Everything was just as
usual. She was the same as she
always had been. At nine o'clock
last night I received a note from
her. 1t merely said for me not to
try to see her again as she had de-
cided to marry Bruce Orion.
cat first I nearly went mad.
started over here, but saw light
in her room and thought had bet
ter wait until morning. Chloe told
me when / asked for Josie-er-
Miss Peake-that she didn't want
to see me. So l asked for Miss Cor
don. 1 thought she might know
what made JOSIE" he forgot the
Miss Peake that time, write me
such a note. 1t isn't fair not to tell
me why" he cried, anger and pain
in his voice.
Lancy stroked his chin az he con-
sidered Alan's words. !
1.-THE obvious answer to that" he
said quietly, "is that Miss Peake
saw, received or was told some
thing last night which has persuad-
ed or-forced-he to change her
mind" His voice changed, grew
hard, commanding; in his eyes
glcWed an implacable light.
do you know anything Of Mrs.
Peake's murder?"
Was it possible that Alan hest
tated for just an instant before he
answered Lancy's question? Yet I
was ready to swear, from the STAR
tied frankness of his tone, that he
answered truthfully. I
81, sir? No, don't know any,
thing at ALL
"Where did you go when you left
here the night she was killed?
After your first call, mean?"
Home, sir. Miss Ivy was there
when I got back, so I didn't come
back again-until I came with
her"
Again I was willing to swear he
was telling the truth, yet again I
detected a shade of hesitation
which made me think he could
have answered differently had ha
desired.
"Do YOU know where Miss Peake
was or who she was with last night,
Miss Gordon"
mo, I don't She wasn't in the
lounge or her room when I came
back from Mrs. Rutherford's, but
when I returned from talking with
you she was in her room. That's
when she told me about Orion"
II see. Well, there's just one
thing to do Have Orion in and find
out what he knows about this sud-
den change of hers"

escaped her lips.
That SIGH broke the spell. I
rushed to her side and dropped to

"Don't do it, Josie" I cried.

most of all is it unfair to the man
YOU marry. I know you love Alan.
Stick to him regardless of what

NY last words were Influenced by
thought which popped into my
head. Could she have been with
Neal while 1 was absent? Had he
so worked upon her tender sisterly
love that she had promised herself
to Orion to please him? Yet I
hadn't thought Neal cared for Or
ton to that extent.
Only a few hours before Josie
had confessed to me that she be-
lieved either Bruce Orion or Joseph
Barry killed her mother. Now she
was calmly proclaiming her inten-
ton to marry Bruce. I shook my
head angrily in an attempt to dis
pose of these hampering thoughts
which clogged my brain. I must
listen Josie was speaking.
Il have my reasons, Sally. Rea-
sons I can't tell anyone. Please
don't try to dissuade me? I am 60
ing to marry Bruce Orion"
OF course, after that, there was
nothing 1 could say. I rose to my
feet, bent and kissed her, a gentle
kiss dropped on that soft shining
mass of brown curls. Silently I
prepared for bed. When I dropped
off to sleep, Josie was still sitting
by the window, her gaze fixed on
the black earth and still blacker
sky, for the moon was obscured by
heavy clouds.
In the morning she was sleeping
when I rose, and I quietly dressed
and went downstairs. I wanted her
to sleep as long as possible. Per
haps in her dreams she could for
get her troubles for q time Her
calmness hadn't fooled me one bit.
I was still convinced that she loved
Alan Murray. But why she was
crushing that love, why she was
going to marry Bruce Orion, I
couldn't even guess.

No. According to London physi-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

C. H.: "When one opens a can Of
condensed milk or vegetables, and
leaves contents set in the can for a
day or two, will it be apt to give the
person eating it ptomaine poison
ing?"
Answer: The danger of the open
can is contamination with germs,
not the metal of the can. Processed
foods are more liable to contamina-
ton than others because in the
processing they come to resemble
bacterial culture media. Besides,
processed foods left in the can are
more liable to be eaten without re-
cooking, whereas raw foods have the
advantage of the germ-killing quail
tiles Of cooking. Of course, then,
ptomaine poisoning can result from
eating food left in an open can.

spot further, Davis asked:
eff the Committee were sincere in
its attempt to ferret out un-Americar
activities, why did it not investigate
the XII Klux Klan, lynchings, mob
violence, and organized mobs in
Texas? Why did it not investigate
the un-American conspiracy. in the
South to disfranchise free-born Negro
American citizens?"
Exposing other false testimony OF
the fascist witness Steele, Davis letter
said:
"This witness condemns the Nation
al Negro Congress because its resolu-
tons have condemned the aggressive
acts of Italy, Germany, japan and the
Franco rebels in Spain. In this mat
ter our resolutions spoke only the feel
ing of millions of black Americans at

tacks against democracy made by these
agressor nations. -.

Davis asserted that behind the at
tacks on the National Negro Congress
were Dies fascist opposition to anti
lynching legislation and his own open
support to the disfranchisement of the
Negro people in Texas.
Davis pointed out that the basis of
the Dies Committees attacks was the
testimony of one Walter S. Steele,

Republic and the chairman of the

tionaa Security, both of which are
fascist groups.

laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed.
