larry about Kirk not that kind
words were said about him, even
now. But there was curiosity to be
satisfied, and for several days the
life of Gabe Dixon, Solicitor of the
Seventh Judicial Circuit, had been
anything but pleasant.
He sat now in his office, coat of,
sleeves rolled above the elbow, che
root in mouth, feet cooked on the
paper-strewn desk. His stenogra-
pher came through the door and
closed it carefully behind her.
She said, Somebody to see you,
Mr.. Dixon"
'Who?"
The young lady came closer.

"Yeh-youi You know as wen -
do that Barney Hamilton killed
Kirk, and you're using these other
three birds as excuses not to do
anything"
"But ma'am-beggin' your pardon
that amt no-ways true. There
CANT nobody be convicted without
evidence, and even if what you been
telling me is true-there amt any
proof. So all I'd get for trying Bar
ney Hamilton now would be an &C.
quittal, and then he'd be safe for
the rest of his life"
"You mean you're not going to
have him indicted?"
mot now, ma'am. I sho' amt"
you're gonna let a murderer 60
free?"
Now ma'am that amt no
way to put it. It's just that there
amt a lick of sense prosecutin'
somebody when you amt got the ev-
idence to convict. That's ALL"
She whirled, and her husky voice
had become harsh. She said, "Just
because he was gambler"
Nom, that amt it."
"Aah! Nuts! I'm sick and tired
of this lousy hick-town and its poll
tics. I can't give you any votes,
that's why you're telling me where
to get off. If it was the other way
around ;"
Gabe Dixon was slow to anger,
but Sonia Henkeps words had cut
deep. He rose and spoke with un-
accustomed dignity. Listen, ma'am
>. I don't blame you for gittin' all
excited about this heah mess. No
matter what Kirk Reynolds was
you liked him. An he liked you,
too, I reckon. But just because you
got an idea that Barney Hamilton
killed him amt no reason for me to
fly off half-cocked, an all your
swearin' amt a-goin' to make me do
it, either"
"You mean you're going to let
Barney Hamilton 60 free?"
Until we git somethin' against
him, yes'm, I am"
Babe was trembling. 81 might've
figured I didn't have chance. Well,
let me tell you something, Mister
District Attorney, you're not deal

Curtains to fit budgets and color schemes.

THE first curtains of this kind
! ever saw were made of the
long pieces of good material left
at each side of a sheet after the
center part had begun to wear.
These were dipped in dye to make
soft cream color for the founda-
ton part of the curtains. Wide
stripes of gingham and narrow
ones of prepared bias trimming
were then stitched in place to
make stripes. The chart shows
the colors that were used and
gives the widths and spacing of
the stripes.
OF course, you will have some
ideas of your own about the
stripes and colors. Perhaps you
can copy the color scheme of the
rug in the room or the wall paper.
Or colors in a picture may offer a
Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1939-10-06

suggestion for colors for the whols
room.
Whatever the materials used you
will have fun planning the stripes.
In case you should want TO ise
short lengths of goods for the fotm-
dation part of the curtains, stitch
these together with the seam on
the right side; then place stripe
over the joining.
There are 80 other homemalking
ideas in the booklet which Mrs.
Spears has just prepared for our
readers. All directions are char
ly illustrated. You will be delight

Kay Forrest sat alone in the liv-

was working nights-had gone down
to the garage. Mr.. Forrest was up
stairs porting over Supreme Court
decisions. From the hallway came
the drone of Mrs. Forests voice as
she discussed - Unfortunately - the
menu for the next Church supper.
Emma Forrest was swapping back
to normal. To her husband she had
declared frequently-and with con-
siderable vehemence-that the death
of Kirk Reynolds was a Godsend to
the community; an opinion which
was virtually unanimous, and she
had been pleased-and more than a
trifle surprised-at Kay's subdued
manner.
The bell tangled and the front door
opened unceremoniously. Barney
Hamilton flung his hat on the hall
settee near the foot of the steps,
nodded brightly to Mrs. Forrest al

living-room. He bent over Kay's
chair and kissed her. He said, LA.

"Mr. Reynolds met his unfortu-

stabbed by some one unknown. He
grew up in Beverly and was well

Funeral services were conducted
by Layton & Cross, our expert un-

And:

this city, has returned from visit
to Cathedral Gardens where she was
the house-guest of Mrs. Ruth Hamil-
ton and family"
And:
Sheriff Floyd Griffin reports that
he has not made any arrests in

mise of the late Mr.. Kirk Reynolds.

deputies are hard at work on the
case. There was great deal of To-

riveted the attention of neighbors.

1000 Letters On 257
Street Markers Here

Bluffton has scarcity of obs"
on its street markers, it was dis
closed this week with completion of
the painting of signs on street cor
ners and about the town.
This was disclosed by Dale David
son who completed the first of the
week the work of re-painting all of
the markers.
On the 257 markers in the town
there are more than 1000 letters
and only 10 of them are "B's", an
unusually low figure. Three letters
were missed entirely in naming the
streets, there being no eos, "Z's"
or "X's". More "E's" were painted
than any other letter.
The only markers with "B's" were
for Kibler street, Bentley road, Bluff
ton college and the Public Library.
In addition to re-fnishing street
markers, the council also had the
airplane marker on top the town hall
re-painted. This includes the name
"Bluffton" in large letters and an
arrow pointing north.
