George! Linda experienced a
surge of Thanksgiving. George had
not written because he was so busy
getting ready to leave. and now he
was waiting to tell her. I'm be
there day after tomorrow. I'm
taking the train right now"
Hello" she said into the phone.
Hello. George"
Hello, Linda" How good it was
to hear his voice. Just the sound
of it brought back Queensville and
Daddy and home. All the safe.
solid, everyday things that had
been slipping away from her in
the confusion of these past few
days.
George. you're coming down,
aren't you?" she cried eagerly.
"Oh. I'm so glad! When will you
be here?"
Instead of answering that, he
was asking, What happened,
Linda? Your letter sounded SO
queer, it alarmed me. What's the
matter ?"
"Nothing's the matter. I just
missed you and IL thought it
would be nice if you could come
and I--oh, George, surely you can
leave the laboratory just for once!
Surely I'm just as important to
you as those experiments"
But why do you need me,
Linda" She had forgotten how
matter of fact George could be.
Forgotten the solid common sense
which always motivated him.
Il miss you" she said despair
ingly. Isn't that enough? I'm
lonely here. II wanted to go
back, but Marcia wouldn't let me.
Please come down, George"
Its out of the question, Linda.
I can't afford a jsunt like that
now. I'm up to my ears in work
and I simply haven't time, my
dear"
But, George, want you here"
There was a silence. His voice
came at last. You know il there
was any urgent reason, I'd come
at once, Linda. But this is silly,
You're in a strange place and
you're probably homesick :"
Then why did you bother tele-
phoning me at ALL" she choked.

SLAYER OF GIRL
 WAS STRONG MAN

Camden, N. J., Aug. 9-(UP)-Po- lice searching for the murderer of Wanda Dworecki, 18-year-old minis- ter's daughter knew today that he must be a tremendously strong man enough to have placed her neck in the crook of his arm and ex- erted enough pressure not only to strangle her but to break her collar bone.
 Her body was found in a clump of weeds near Camden high school yes- terday.
 Twelve hours before the body was discovered, she had left home to 'buy some ice cream and stockings" :" Police records prevealed that she had been reported missing several times in the past year. Dowrecki said she was beaten in park a week ago.
