CHAPTER FIFTEEN

When Jill discovered that the
box was gone. the box her uncle
had described in his letter, she felt
Ill. all over.
For several minutes she sat on
the floor Of Fenwick's dressing
room. unable to control herself.
II anyone had happened in dur
ing that time, she would have been
caught red-handed. the drawer out
of it, place and on the floor be-
side her.
She was vaguely aware of her
danger. but somehow at the mo-
ment didn't seem to care.
1t had been such a shock to
reach in. knowing exactly how the
box would feel in her hands, and
then to find it entirely gone.
After a while she slowly got to
her feet. lifted the heavy drawer
and slid it back into place.
Automatically. she picked up the
towels she had laid down, put
them over her arm and left the
suite. going to the backstairs and
climbing to her room.
II wasn't until later that she
realized she had taken the towels
with her, had forgotten to put
them back in the linen closet. But
she didn't care, then. Shed put
them back later.
She had more important things
on her mind, now.
Who could have taken the box?
Had Fenwick suddenly discover
ed the long hidden cache?
Found Box
Perhaps Mary had said some
thing to someone about her pull
ing out all the drawers to dust
them her first day there. And the
drawer had been investigated. The
box found.
1t was possible, she thought, but
the explanation didn't satisfy her.
She determinedly put down the
panic which threatened to drive her
to the point of hysteria, and forced
herself to consider the problem
logically.
Who knew about the box? she
asked herself. Carefully she check
ed the list. First. of course. there
was herself. Then her mother.
She was certain Mrs. Talbot had
said nothing about the box. as she
wasn't given to gossip and they
had agreed to keep silent about II
at least until it was in their pos
session.
Definitely, her mother was elm
mated.
Agnew and Shore. They knew
about it. The letter had come ia
them, Agnew had read 1. before
calling her, and Shore later read IL
over aloud when she and his older
partner were in the office.
How about Mr.. Agnew? She
considered the question from all
angles. and finally decided that he
would say nothing about it to any.
one.
He had very emphatically made
1t apparent he wanted nothing ia
do with the case.
Legal Duty
He merely was performing his
legal duty in handling her uncle's
affairs for his Shanghai corre-
spondent, and once they were in
her hands he wanted nothing fur
Their to do with the matter.
Shore? Her heart leaped in her
breast.
There was a clew, a definite
clew. The only one she could see
after carefully going over every
incident that had occurred since
she had learned of her inheri-
lance.
He had jokingly suggested that
she get burglar. He had laugh
ed when he offered to split the con-
tents of the box with her, provided
he could get 1t. He wanted forty
per cent.
He Laughed

Camouflage Awkward Radiator

An uncovered radiator in any
room is no charming ornament.
It's possible to buy good-looking
metal covers to fit almost any size
radiator today and, even if the cost
seems to be more than can be af-
forded at the time, a camouflaged
radiator is well worth the cost.

Advice About Popularity


Dear Mrs. Post: I am very un-
happy because It seems TO me I
have everything TO make me popu-
lar here In this coed college but
don't seem able 10 make the
grade---either with the men stu
dents or with other girls. / can't
understand. I am good looking:
my clothes are better than those
OF most OF the other girls; my
family Is very prominent in the
city ! come from; my father is in
fact a musical celebrity. ! am
used to meeting celebrities that
come to our house. have also
had many advantages. have had
thorough musical training, al
though l have unfortunately not
inherited my fathers talent;
speak French and German and
Italian and certainly l have good
manners. But something is very
wrong here. Surely these quail
ties which I can count as mine
ought to have made me sought
after. Well I'm not. When I
first came and they heard my
name my fellow students seemed
impressed. But now they take
no notice of me. Can you tell me
what's wrong.
Answer: think you are taking
your advantages too seriously.
You are too much impressed with
the celebrity OF your father, and
his celebrated friends--and of your
possessions, too. Isn't that It?
You must try TO get all this i'm
portance out Of your mind and get
interested In college and your fell
low students. Think about them.
Show some eagerness to know
them. Don't wear clothes much
better than theirs; don't let your
possessions seem to put you on
different level. Don't push your
self forward: don't, on the other
hand. suddenly begin to try to be
humble. Rule number one; Forget
yourself. Forget the Importance
Of your family at home. In short,
do not under any stress of pride
be led to display a price tag. Stand
on your own feet, not your fathers.
and above all. not on his fortune.
Why Wear Black
Dear Mrs. Post: would like TO
know why it Is wrong for a woman
TO be married in black. / had in
tended to wear black and every
one seems so shocked that I won-
dered why 1t would be such
terrible choice If happened to like
It best.
Answer: This suggestion is
shocking because black is asso-
ciated with the sadness of a funer-
al. The idea OF a bride in black
is unsuitable in much the way
dressing a little child In black
would be unsuitable. I have never
seen baby in black and have
never seen a bride In black. Per-
sonally / should not like one better
than the other.

BE sparing with Criticism

Dear Mrs. Post: Is 1t ever per-
MISSILE for me to correct the table

Answer: Correction that has no
motive but affection is seldom re-
sented. But criticism without
heart Is cruel.

Suing Police Heads

The status of an unserved war
rant may prove to be an all-im-
portant factor in the case of James
F. Donovan, who has sued Maj.
Ernest w. Brown, superintendent
of police. and Chief of Detectives
Bernard w. Thompson for alleged
violation of the "six-hour writ" law.
Justice Nathan Cayton ruled Mon
day in Municipal Court that the
case must stand trial in that court
on December II.

ing prisoners without charges for

poration Counsel Chester Gray to

van seeks to collect $500 from the
police officials.
The District Code, title "a, Sec
ton 205, provides:
ANY person committed or de-
tanned, or any person in his behalf
may demand true copy of the war
rant of commitment or detainer, and
any officer or other person detain-
ing him who shall refuse or neg
lect to deliver to him a true COPY
OF the warrant or detainer, if any
there be, within six hours after the
demand, shall forfeit to the party so
detained the sum of $500"
Donovan was picked up August -

police officials allegedly- failed to
honor copy of a six-hour writ filed
by his attorney, James j. Laughln,
who demanded that Donovan either
be released or specific charges
brought against him. The officials
ignored the writ on the ground that
no warrant had been issued to Dom
ovan, hence none could be shown
him upon his attorneys demand.

revealed that a warrant for Dono-
vans arrest had been sworn out
August II by Detective Sergt. Ernest
E. Thompson before United States
Commissioner Needham C. Turnage

deputy of that office. After failing

Municipal Court had no jurisdiction,
and that 1t was impossible for the
police officials to comply with the

the provision in the statute, IF any

Judge Cayton, however, ruled that
the Municipal Court had jurisdic-

less and that the commitment paper
(the warrant sworn to by Detective
Sergt. Thompson) was sufficient evi-
dence for the case to come to trial

" ARIOUS DELIVERIES. Just as
baseball pitcher can resort to
curves, changes of pace, screw balls
and fast ones, SO, too, does bowl
er have an assortment of stuff"
There are four distinct pitches in
bowling. Named in order of their
importance, they are: the hook, the
curve. the straight and the backup.
The hook ball is thrown out Of the
side of the hand, with a counter
clockwise twist to impart spin to
the ball. The thumb comes out first
and the fingers then apply the spin
to the ball. The hook ball is place ed
on the alley about eight to twelve
boards from the right hand gutter.
1t travels in straight line toward
the No. 3 pin. Just before it reaches
the pin. it hooks sharply into the Is
pocket.
The hook ball Is used by prac-
tically all of the worlds outstanding
bowlers because of its high strike
percentage.
The curve ball is used by bowlers
who throw slow ball and il is very
effective on highly polished alleys.
The straight ball is the easiest to
master, and for that reason it is
sometimes recommended for begin
ners until they perfect their an
preach and delivery.
The backup ball is used only by a
few bowlers (as its strike percent
age is very low) and for that reason
it is not recommended. For fur

ISOLATION, baseball's centennial year
