he had not wanted to harm an
other. He had said that the testl-
mony could be given when it, be.
came necessary. But he did not
want to risk his own career.
Maybe Ronald was right and life
was a selfish road. Maybe you
must think always of your own de.
sires. But if life was that way, 1t
was scarcely worth the living.
No. She would go on as she was.
She became aware that someone
was watching her. She looked on
around. No eyes seemed to be
studying here. Yet there was that
persistency of being guarded.
She did not leave the ferry sta
ton, but paid her fare and got
back on the boat. She found a place
to stand where the night wind,
would blow her hair and the stars
could shine down brightly on the
dark water.

whispered, you'll wake up and
know you sent Ronnie away. Ano
maybe he was right. Maybe you
were being silly. Maybe you car
reach him now!"
There was eagerness in tn a
thought. Then she remembered il
was too late for such an action
because she had given her infor'
nation to the police. But maybe
Ronnie would be sorry and peni
tent and ask her forgiveness. Per
haps she should have hurried home
instead of going for an aimless
ferry ride.
At the thought that maybe Ron
aid was waiting for her, Linda be-
came tense and restless. She want.

cyclorama of buildings that swept
the skyline.
But even as she thought of that

cause she did. She tried to remem-
err RonaId's wide shoulders as ne
hunched over the table, but all She
could hear was his voice begging
her not to give her evidence just
yet.
She glanced at the name OF the
street where she was, hailed a taxi
cab, and gave the address OF the
Central Police station. There was
no reason now for withholding her
information.
Eventually she reached the office
of an assistant prosecutor, who
listened attentively.
II think you may save the man,
Miss Avery" he said. We've tried
to account for that missing time.
You are sure you have the hour
correctly"
Certainly. The clerks remember
that l was in the coffee shop and
that Clarabell telephoned for a
milkshake, so I couldn't have done
it, and Mr.. Parrish was there at
the very same time.
Relieved, she left the offices. She
was far downtown. She strolled
over to the harbor. Boats were in
and ferries we're leaving. She paid
her fare, passed through the turn
stile and climbed on a boat for
Staten Island.
AS the towers and skyscrapers
of Manhattan swung their lamps
through soft summer darkness, she
caught her breath. This was New
York, city of dreams and enchant-
ment and mystery. Not far away

merrily. Ronald had said he would
send a card some day from the Ho-
boken ferry, or Singapore or from
Trieste. He might just as well have
gone to one of the far places on a
colored map as to come back and
fail her so.
Yet, all of the time, a slow sing

in her. She did not think about it
much at that moment. She con-
centrated on the fact that Ronald
had failed her.
Yet, she unused, as the water

Hill Elected President
Of Mortgage Bankers
special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Dean r. Hill
of Buffalo, N. Y, was elected presi-
dent of the Mortgage Bankers As
sociation of America, succeeding
Byron T. Shutz of Kansas City, at
the closing session of the organi-
zation's 9th annual convention
here this morning.
Mr.. Hill is the second Buffalo man
to head the national mortgage group,
Sylvanus B. Nye of that city having
served as president for the 1928
term. Mr.. Hill is a native of Ver-
mont and received his B. A. degree
from that States university in 1909.
He later received a law degree
from the University of Buffalo in
1911 and was admitted to the New
York State bar the same year. After
practicing law he organized the Hill
Mortgage Corp. in Buffalo in 1924.
He is director of the Buffalo
City Planning Association and the
Buffalo Real Estate Board. He was
elected to the Board of Governors of
the Mortgage Bankers Association
in 1882 and served as vice president
Of the group in 1886, 1887 and 1889.
He is charter member and presi-
dent of the Buffalo Mortgage Bank
ers' Association.
