Guardists in Rumania who assassi-
mated the King Carol supporters all
committed suicide. The U. S. an
nounced a hundred million dollars
credit to the Chungking government
in China. Daylight raids on London
by Nazis failed but night raids con-
tinued to do damage.
MONDAY-German planes violent
~ attacked Southampton; London
was also raided. Kennedy, ambassa-
dor to Britain, resigned. Greek forces
continued to advance on all fronts
Iron Guardists pledged themselves to
fight for the return of that part of

ians let newsmen see five warships
after battle to refute British claims

for Gayle Dixon to do was to build
up the promised romance between
her and Jeremy Tucker. Almost
any year now Jeremy would be
exceedingly wealthy. He had
abundant money already, in fact.
He was an honest sort, however
shy. He was responding to Gayle's
and Bills subtle drawing OUT
treatment, so that in a short time
he would be socially at ease. On
the whole, Bill could see nothing
wrong with him, so that it was dis
tinctly a break for Gayle to have
sucn a young man attracted to
her. And that Jeremy was def
nitely attracted to Gayle, Bill had
already observed.
Bill dropped his hands from her
arms all at once, and turned to go.
There's nothing for you per-
sonally to be concerned about,
Gayle" he said now, quietly. If
you stole that diamond bracelet,
then 1 stole the city hall. But it's
sort of our responsibility, I figure,
and so I'm trying to get at the
bottom of things. Police have a
way of slipping up on these mat
tiers. history proves"
Thank you, Bill. Do whatever
you think is right. l trust you. Are
you-going out on this matter
now?"
Yes. If it's okay."

full dress rehearsal tonight. It's

Tonight? Say, Gayle, do that!
It'll give me a chance to-look,

and afterWard. Set rehearsal for

Bill fastened away then. For his
necessary trips to town and else

the three Mortified cars, a three
year-old, but still powerful, sedan,
