DR.. John r. Mott, on his way &c
the Madras Missionary Conference
said: "There is hope in the fact that
current events have awakened the
world conscience. The world is now
sufficiently startled and humbled,
and if it can ever be thoroughly
awakened to determination Tor
peace it is now If so, all the SUI
ferings and unrest in the world TO,
day will have brought some good
after all. And it will not be done
bv magic but by the design Of dis
cerning world leaders.
According to the Covenanter VIII

. SERIAL STORY
 DATE WITH DANGER .! BY HELEN .s. " Mos1sN .ssse ms

still whining, Condon was led away, his mouth twisted in Q snarl. The commissioner turned to Jack. What motive would you have for killing Martin?'
 Jack hesitated. If he mentioned Clem 1t would involve her. T guess II guess-I didn't know what I was doing, sir"
 Fenelon smiled. And you, Miss Shirley, what motive would you have for shooting Duke Martini"
 Clem pushed back her chair with weary hand. I'm so befuddled I can't think. But I do know that neither Mary nor Jack did 1.-the Gazette was all wrong about Mary" Mary looked at Ladd. He did not meet her gaze. She turned to Fenelon.
 T saw Duke Martin after they had left. He was as alive as you"
 Did you kill him?" asked Fene- lon skeptically.
 50 the Gazette claims" said Mary, again looking at Ladd.
 
 where's the gun?" demanded the commissioner. No one had seen any gun. Then they'd all seen it, but no one could produce 1t. T think you can go, Miss Frank lin," interrupted the commissioner. And you'd better take your young friends with you"
 But if we're all set free, asked Mary, who really did the killing?"
 Person or persons unknown"
 Alone with Ladd, he opened a humidor. These are very good Havanas, Tom," he remarked. T keep them for special celebrations. '' AS he passed Ladd the cigar he winked.
 "Unsolvable crime" .
 Ladd lit his cigar. That Shirley girls lot better than thought She wanted to save young Burden How do you suppose it happened?''
 "She was going with Martin a little, wasn't she?"
 "YeS."
 That's simple enough. The boy was Jealous. She went to MartlnS place He followed. Mary trailed them"
 T can understand that drily commnted Ladd.
 /! Fenelon eyed him steadily Per sonally, I believe Burden shot Mar tin with that revolver the Duke used to carry around. Martin never stirred without it, but he didn't have it on when my men searched his body. The case is closed as fal as I'm concerned.
 There's nothing else to do. With Mary and Glen and young Burden all lying to save each other we'd never get a case against any one of them that would stand up ir court"
 How about Condon?" Ladc asked.
 "Condon is scared of going te the chair for the Janice French murder-it was murder" the con- missioner went on. We've beer question him since the Martin killing was discovered and he's told us everything. He'll turn states evidence to send Nick Hart up for 20 yaers, and Condon himself will be lucky if he gets off with TO- There's an old pre-repeal gang kill ing charge against Condon, too.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-08

we've spread the word around the underworld by grapevine that Condon shot his boss. So right now the healthiest place for him is in- side prison walls. Martin had a lot of friends as well as enemies"
 And you'll let the Martin killing go as 'unsolved'?"
 Even the district attorney agrees that's best" Fenelon concluded. Good riddance of bad rubbish-and an end to the Dove and its rackets. "
 When Ladd left police headquar- ters, disconsolate managing edi- tor, he stood on the corner, face set in pessimistic scowl. Then he suddenly he frightened. Shoulders strengthened. Stepipng as if he were going to a fire, he dived into a cigar store and dialed Mary Frank lin's number.
 Hello, Mary? What, you've just come in? Well, stay in." He roared into the phone. I've got something to tell you"
 Mary shrieked back that she'd been fired from the Gazette. Ladd paid no attention. His voice was deafening. She couldn't answer him because he wouldn't stop. Five minutes later Ladd was look ing into the eyes of the woman he loved.
 Its no use," he said, T can't get along without you" She put her arms around him but before she could speak, the telephone rang. Impatiently she walked over to the desk and picked up the receiver.
 "It's Crossie hunting for you, she called to Ladd. "He says he phoned here on a hunch."
 Tom took tn telephone. I'm not through talking" he said in the softest voice she'd ever heard him use, but I'll settle this first. Hello!' h yelled into the receiver. "Yes yes. What? Who? We'll, if it's true we'll replate. I'll be in."
 He banged up the receiver anc made 8 dive for his coat and hat Suddenly he remembered. Ht stopped. Then turned
 Miss Franklin. Mary! There's { tip that quintuplets have been bor1 in the Grand Central Station. Ge down there and call the office fol orders!"
 He raced out. Mary after him.

 IN STAMPS
Cezonne-the Father Of Modern Painting

THERE were few flowers for A Paul Cezanne during his life time. He died virtually unknown. Although he gave his whole time to the field of art, he was never able to pass the fundamental test of French painter, acceptance by the National Salon.
 Yet today, on the tooth anni- versary of his birth, Cezanne is generally accepted as the greatest master of the 18th century and the father of modern painting. This is because the world has embraced the principles of paint ing that Cezanne saw so early and for which he struggled continu- ously. Cezanne focused the whole tone of modern art with the prin- ciple that the picture should close. ly resemble its inspiring object.
 If the object was shocking or offensive to conservative taste, so much the better, according to Cezanne. He wanted to paint life as he saw it in all it's shades and lights and stages.
 Naturally, the Cezanne paint ings provoked a revolt in France when they first appeared. They mortified the classicists. But Ce-. zanne and small company fought for freedom of subject. To them it was infinitely more important to paint the picture of peasants funeral than that of distin-' guished person. And so they set a lasting precedent.
 The precedent was all the more interesting because Cezanne was the son of a well-to-do French banker who wanted Paul to pur- sue business. But doubtless the world would not have remem- bered Cezanne on stamp, such as the current French value above. had he followed his fathers wishes.

five just heard of your arrest" Ladd protested, leaning on the police commissioners desk.
 Mary,s eyes flashed. You've just heard of my arrest. You've prob- ably arranged the whole thing. l haven't worked for you for noth- ing" Her voice broke. She buried her face in her hands Ladd bent forward. Fenelon cleared his throat and turned his back.
 Someone knocked. They all jumped. The commissioners assist ant loked in.
 "Mr. Jack Burden" he said non- committally.
 Jack, hair rumpled, eyes blood shot, and clothes wrinkled, burst into the room, clutching a rumpled copy of the Gazette.
 "This isn't true" he shouted, pointing to the headline. T killed Martin and I'm glad of it."
 Ladd and Fenelon exchanged glances. Mary's own expression cleared as she realized what was happening.
 'Well, aren't you going to do anything about it?" demanded Jack hysterically. Here am. Arrest me" He held out his hands.
 Fenelon gave him quick look.
 '"Take it easy, boy" his voice was kind. "Well have to have some proof of this first"
 There was commotion outside the door. It swung violently open. Clem Shirley pushed past a pro- testing officer.
 T heard that" she cried "You can't arrest him. He didn't commit the murder. I did it"
 She waved 8 copy of the Gazette under Fenelons nose. "This is all a lie. Mary Franklin had nothing more to do with MT. Martins death than you have. He was snake and I killed him with his own revolver!"
 She was in a frenzy now, beside herself with worry. She wore fur coat over lounging robe and she was without hat. Her black curls were struggling about her face and there were dark circles beneath her eyes.
 While she babbled on, Jack rushed to her side, vainly trying to keep her from talking Stop, dear, stop,' he murmured You don't know what you're saying. You're not yourself
 With 8 quick gesture, he put his hand over her mouth.
 The commissioner listened grave ly, noding, sympathizing, as he heard both confessions. Then call- ing into his telephone, he said, Bring in Bill Condon."
 Condon, Martins butler-valet, was pushed in by two cops without any pretense of tenderness.
 "Who killed Martini" asked Fenelon coldly.
 Condon focused on Jack.
 "There's the killer" he howled. Don't lie to me, said the commits sioner. You probably killed Duke yourself
 After a few similar questions and incident, Condon began to get wise.
 "Why, Commissioner, I wasn't even in the joint when the Duke kicked in," he whined. Honest to Gawd, don't know thing about it."
 '"Take him out ordered Fenelon.
