have been suposing that your cousins death was tied up with her opposition to the Amalga- mated National merger. Now 1t begins to look as if it had only been very neatly timed to look that way - or planned to suggest anything except whats really back of it. Have you read the papers, Miss Thoren5on?"
 "Yes," Christine told him, dreading she hardly knew what. That is - the extra after left here early this morning"
 ''Then perhaps you saw that your cousins shoes had been found to fit one pair of those foot prints leading from that stranded rowboat toward the booth where she was found?"
 "Yes."
 And Bills shoes, Christine was remembering, fitted the other pair.
 That story happened too be true, except" Inspector Parsons was going on, that they weren't made by the shoes she was wearing; but another pair, identical in meas- urements with one slightly broken heel. We haven't found those shoes yet; but we are reasonably sure that they were taken from your cousins house by someone who entered 1t after it was closed the other evening-taken for the express purpose of making that false trail"
 "You mean that my cousins house has been broken into?" T didn't say that. It was en- tered by someone who had 8 key
 When Christine did not speak he demanded, Do you hapen to have key to Mrs. Talbert,s house, Miss Thorenson?"
 Christine moistened her dry lips and said, No" hating the wooden ness of her own voice as she spoke
 When she began to think he would never go on, he asked, Do you know anyone else who has one?"
 "No," Christine said woodenly again.
 1 Then she thought, But of course -Jaspar.
 The inspector shrugged and demanded with one of his discon- certing shifts of subject, Was your cousins vision particularly poor?"
 T don't know. Of course she wore glasses"
 Do you know who her optician was?"

CHAPTER xl

"oh, Bill-nol" Christine cried miserably.
 And then some" His voice was a little grim. But at any rate, I'm still in circulation. And I've got a little sleuthing of my own to do while I can. I'll be sewed up tight till noon; but how about meeting me for lunch about l2:30 at the same place where we ate last night7"
 Christine said, "I'll be there, Bill" and hung up, trembling good deal.
 But Inspector Parsons, she re- membered after moment, did not arrest people for murder until he was sure they would stay arrested. And she had business with Inspector Parsons herself, as soon as she could find him.
 Just outside her own front door she had to snub three reporters.
 She was no sufficiently experi- enced to dodge the news cameras.
 She was admitted to Inspector Parsons office at once. He looked Christine thought, as if he had hradly slept, but he was as cool and alert as ever.
 'I've come to tell you" she be- gan, that I've been a good deal of a fool"
 "Yu - and several others" he agreed pleasantly.
 "Last evening"" Christine hur- ried on, T went to public read- ing by clairvoyant called Chan dra--"

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Love of Liberty Led Boers
 Deep Into Africo's JunoIe

A HUNDRED years ago, as the
 "A settlement of Americas vast
 frontier gained momentum, an. other great migration was draw. ing to close-the Great Trek oi the Boers into the heart of the Dark Continent.
 For five years, from 1895 to l840, this gigantic movement of . nation went on, uninterrupted by ferocious attacks of savages, or by the hardships and dangers en. countered on the African veldt Freedom-the right to live accord. ing to their own laws.-was the rainbow that guided these hardy Dutch pioneers into a new Prom .sed Land.
 The South African Boers were descendants of the Dutch colonists who came to the Cape of Good Hope in 1852, and of refugee French French Huguenots, who fled France in 1885.
 With the coming of the British to Capetown in 1795, a new era of restraint began for the Boers. Chief goal of the British was the stamping out of slavery, which the Boers, as shareholders, bitterly op- posed. Other British laws were equally hateful, and in 1885 the first great party of Boers loaded their families and possessions into wagons, rounded up their herds, and headed northward into the jungle.
 Savage, blood-thirsty Zulus bat- tied them every mile of the trek, but the Boers fought on, undaunt- ed, to establish homes in the Orange Free State and the Trans- vaal.
 The Great Boer Trek is com- memorated on the Union of South Africa stamp above, red and blue, of the issue of 1888, honoring the Voortrekkers.

BOARD AGAIN
VOTES $3.50
Harry Johnston Only
One to Protest
Appropriation

After listening for more than an
hour 70 a dozen speakers among
a group q so persons who crowded
the county commissioners office
Tuesday. the board voted an emer-
gency appropriation Of $3.50 TO
cover the salaries Of two additional
deputies 10 operate a night prowl-

the posts.
Johnston Protests
Practically every community in
rural sreas of the county was rep
resented at the hearing Tuesday
either IN person or by petition.
But one protest to appropriation
Of funds for employment of addi-
tional deputies was received by the
commissioners.
The lone protest was in form of a
letter from former Prosecutor
Harry II. Johnston.
Johnston, in MS communication.
contended granting of the emer-
gency did not come within pro-
visions of the law, holding that
Bjorklund's request was not for
something unforeseen.
The former prosecutor contend
ed the. sheriff requested four addi-
tional deputies at the time the 1889
budget was drawn up, but that the
request was not granted.
Tollefson Doesn't Agree
"No court will uphold you
should you pass the emergency"
Johnston warned. &c. II is your
duty TO uphold the law
Prosecutor Thor c. Tollefson,
however, who was present at the
hearing. expressed disagreement
with Johnston.
I'VE have been considering this
emergency request carefully the
past few weeks, Tollefson said.
If the county commissioners
decide an emergency exists i. the
courts are not liable to set aside
their action . I'm convinced an
emergency exists
The latter assertion brought ap-
plause and cheers from the group.
Commissioner Rankin moved an
emergency be declared, which was
seconded by Commissioner Melton.
All three members of the board
approved II.
