CHAPTER THIRTY SIX


the Staten Island ferry as Sue
Alderman, sister Of Clarabell Ack-
erman. the girl who had been so
ruthlessly murdered in the main
Office Of the Bagley Models agency.
Linda had wondered what had
become of this older sister and
whether or not she had been seeing
Nina Nevins.
1t was odd to meet the sister on
a Staten Island ferry. though. The
Alderman apartment was far up
town, in no way related to this dis
tant island.
Have you relatives on the Is
land?" Linda asked casually.
mo, have no relatives at all,
now that my sister is dead" The
voice was not bitter. rather it was
mocking.
Miss Alderman, who wanted to
kill herr" Linda asked impulsively.

Don't you realize those bullets
were for you ~
The boat was nearing the New
York skyline and people were
crowding around so they would be
able to leave the boat when 1t
locked. Linda spoke quickly.
do you know who did this
thing?"
The woman didn't answer for a
moment. Then she shrugged her
shoulders. what makes you think
that / would know? And why
wouldn't 1 be as eager to find out
as you are?"
"Of course you would. It's just
that it's spoiled so many things for
me-" The boat was almost in.
Have you seen the evening pa

Linda shook her head. mo. I've

Yes? And looking at the pic

well, my dear. and the newspaper
likenesses aren't half bad. I think
you might be interested in this"
She was holding a paper toward
Linda, a slim finger in a shabby
glove, pointing to a special para
graph.
Linda read II. THE revolver
from which the two fatal bullets
were shot has been identified as
one belonging to Miss Sarah Mark

HELSINKI.-"Listen," said the
cameraman who has come down
from the war above the Arctic circle,
II was up there before any one. I
was there while 1t all happened. I
know.
"The Russians didn't freeze. ANY,
more than anybody else froze. Their
clothes aren't bad. We went into
some of their dugouts after the
battle and they were good ones
as well made as the Firms. Anything
else YOU hear is the bunk.
But what really did 1t was two
things, and the first one was the
bands. No kidding, bands. I made
pictures of them after the battle.
Big piles of trombones and cornets
and bass drums and bass horns, all
covered with snow.
you see, the Russians really be-
lieved their own stuff at first
thought they were marching in to
liberate the people, so they came
in playing these damn bands and
waving red flags, only the people
they expected to liberate were all
squatting behind trees putting nice
little holes through those brass
horns.
"The second thing that did it was

they captured, books in Russian, on
how to ski. Must have sent for them
out of the Moscow library after the
Firms cut up that first division.
THE snow up there is two and
three feet deep. The Russians come
in on the road with all heavy
mechanized stuff-tanks and trucks
but off the road they're blind
without ski. That snow is waist
deep and they can't send their
patrols out more than two or three
kilometers on either side-beyond
this, they don't know what they're
running into, or what's waiting for
them on the flank, or what may be
coming up behind-they're like a
blind catapillar, with the Firms
sliding in and out the forest on all
sides of them, watching them crawl.
"The Firms let them get pretty

Sub Believed Sunk
In Steamer Collision
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERGEN, Norway, Feb. 2S.-A
dramatic story of a collision with a
submarine. in which the submersi-
ble's periscope was torn of and the
war vessel apparently sunk in the
North Sea, was told yesterday by
survivors of the Norwegian steamer
Arnfinn.
The sailors landed in lifeboats
after leaving the damaged Arnfinn.
The ship still was floating north
ward when they last saw her.
While the Arnfinn was en- route
from England to Norway, the SAIL
ors said, she collided with the sub
marine, which got under the Arm
finn's keel.
The Arnf1nn developed a heavy
leak after the submarine appar-
emily sank, but with the help Of
pumps she managed to reach the
coast, where the crew abandoned
her.
Lloyd's register of shipping does
not list the Arnfinn, but does list a
Norwegian ship named Arnflnn Jarl.

|WeIIes' Trip Abroad
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Hoffman, Repub-
lican of Michigan said yesterday
that President Roosevelt had sent
an envoy across the seas "in the
opening drive for q place in the
tragedy now being played by those
who have abroad successfully de-
stroyed democracy"
Mr.. Hoffman referred to the visit
being made to Europe by Sumner
Welles, Undersecretary Of State.
In statement placed in the Con-
gressional Record he added:
while talking peace, expressing
desire to keep this country out
of war, President Roosevelt has
been guilty of provocative acts, the
natural result of which would lead
us into war. A failure at home,
with a record which shows that
he has nof solution for our domes-
tic problems, no regard for his
promises, no concern for the future
welfare Of our children, he is now
seeking to distract our attention
from our homeland, to become en-
tangled in foreign affairs and to
place himself in q position where,
at our Nations expense, he can
be hailed as the peacemaker Of the
world"
