why do you come in here now
to annoy me ?" she suddenly burst
out. This is the lowest thing
you've done yet, taking advantage
of my situation to come here and
make mealy-mouthed apologies.
Saying how much you love me.
Why don't you get out and let me
alone ?"
You must believe me, Madge,
as much as your seem to hate me,
now. I'm in the same boat with
you. There's nothing phoney about
that"

believing.
Il mean that Avery has put my
number up. He thinks I tipped
you off to what was going on. He
thinks l told you about the Court
st. place, and somehow helped you
get in there. He thinks I'm a
traitor, so I've been sent in here
to await his convenience. The
thugs who come In to finish you,

that's ALL"
But, Dan - he can't have us

now. There was no installing the

What can we do? There must
be some way out of here"
No Way
Believe me. there is no way.

room where they got rid of Mike
Frankau. Others, too. These walls
could tell some terrible tales If
they could speak"
Dams eyes swept about the
room, as though he were seeing 1t
for the first time. Then he ut
tered a sharp exclamation.
What is t." Madge asked.
II Just thought of something. 1t
might work"
"You mean to get out of here ?
But, how ?"
We'll have to wait until Avery
and the others leave. There's just
a bare chance.

Giving Party for Bridal Party
After Wedding Rehearsal Is
Not an Obligation

Giving Party 1Of briuai Tar's
After Wedding Rehearsal Is
Not an Obligation
To all who have written me
lately asking whether it is neces-
sary that some one invite all the
members of the bridal party to
party Immediately following the
wedding rehearsal, and if so, upon
whom this obligation falls, my
answer is that a party is not
requirement. II is true. however,
that very often-possibly more
often than not when the rehearsal
takes place in the late afternoon
the bride and groom and their at
tendants go for stand-up supper to
the house of the brides parents,
or to that Of another member of
her family, or possibly to that OF
one of the bridesmaids. But just
as often-particularly if the re-
hearsal takes place later in the
evening - they dispense at the
church.

U. s. Commemorative Honors Coronado

THE 400th anniversary of the
 explorations of Coronado in the southwest is marked by the U. s. Scent issue of the design above, to be placed on sale at AL buquerque, N. M., Sept. 2. The release date is the anniversary of the discovery of the Rio Grande river by the Spanish. The design is from a painting Coronado and his Captains" by Gerald Cassidy.
 Francisco Vasquez Coronado headed an expedition to find and conquer the Seven Cities of Cibola,". fabulously rich Indian strongholds. After winning the pueblo of Hawikuh, in New Mex ico, Coronado sent exploring parties as far west as the Grand Canyon, subjugated tribes in the New Mexico area.
 In 1541 he led his army east ward into the Great Plains country of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. One small group of horsemen are believed to have penetrated as far north as Nebraska.
 Failing in his quest for gold, Coronado returned to Mexico in 1542, with only a small part of his original party. He was re- moved from office as governor of New Galicia, retired to his Mexi- can estates.

Middlebury, Vt., Sept. 25.-Every player on the Middlebury college football squad must know how to play an alternate position as well as his regular one.

The Pan- ther mentor has found Crawford to be in important asset in the back field where he has been showing flashes of a potential great half back.
 Tony Wishinski, former Kimball Union Academy star has played every position on then team during the past eight days of practice. At the present time he is filling in at the center berth, and will probably start at this position against Will liamstown. Wishinski will assist Capt. Jack Johnson of Waterville, Conn, in the puning end of the game as Midlebury has a lack of kickers.

CHAPTER XV

Her eyes newly opened, as it were, to the undercurrents about her, Sue Mary doggedly concentrated on her work at the office while in her secret mind she tried to discover what goal Vera was working towards.
 Across from her Kitty, too, watched. Her eyes took in every detail of Vera's cool black sheer, with the starched ruffled collar; the severe black braids coiled around her head; the red slash of lips across the tanned face.
 Kitty watched Vera because a few moments ago young Ross Clark had come in the office. He always kidded the girls, leased Miss Grant and issued the brief est possible orders before dashing out again.
 But today he had stopped at Veras desk and the low murmur of their voices came to Kitty and Sue Mary. Kitty sat frozen, her face pale except for two crimson spots that matched the red in her candy-triped wash frock. With her black curls piled high on her head in one of her newest hair styles she looked like an angry eyed doll.
 Babs Fleming came over with some pencils to sharpen. He's in here oftener, isn't he' she said. "I'ts because of the count ess?"
 'Countess?" Kitty repeated.
 "Well, Vera, then. Only she always reminds me of countess. A story-book countess. Regal with braids wound about her head like a crown. And sort of an air of mystery.
 "He comes in here because he's on that special committee named in the city to work on the new airport site" Kitty said dryly. With the plane plant booming 24 hours a day and air traffic doubling here in town, the papers say the old airport isn't big enough and they're trying to get deal with the government on new field. Besides Ross Clark is

going to be trouble out at the Smithsonian factory.
 "The union has a new contract ready. It come up in week and if the company doesn't talk terms, I think there might be trouble. That outfit makes carburetors for the Gull plane and it wouldn't be helpful with all those plane or ders in to have strike at Smith son"
 Sue Mary set her beer glass down on the scared desk. Her hand shook and some of the beer spilled. She tried to keep her voice steady. Smithson was where Joe worked Trouble at Smithson would mean trouble for Joe.
 But Nick" she said when she could control herself T thought the union and the management were friendly at Smithson."
 "The management wouldn't be if picket line suddenly started up around the plant"
 But why should there be picket line? Isn't negotiating done over conference table?"
 "Yes, little one, but maybe the workers would get impatient with the negotiators and start picket ing. That has been known to hap pen if someone gets to the work CTS and tips them off as to what's going on.
 You're still learning. Sue Nary, he added. And if strike does start you'll see how smart operators really work"

Ryan Continues Attack
 On New Deal' Policies
Young Republican Club of Canaan Hears .Scath- ing Arraignment of Heavy Taxation Imposed on
 American People.

Every man and woman in this coun- try will help pay that debt.
 Consider for moment just how you pay your share. Every time you buy a package of cigarettes you pay the Government six cents if the cigarettes cost you IS cents. Every time you buy a pound of sugar you pay the government a half cent. If you buy car for $7O0, you pay the government $40.
 Business Scared
 Business during national cleo tion year usually becomes frightened, but this year only the New Dealers are scared.
 "The first and most important duty of national administration is to release the energy of private industry, to transform unemploy- ment into employment, and relief into jobs."
 "This is the only manner in which any administration can balance its budget, but it is a step that the New Deal cannot make, because the New Deal cannot undo the wrongs 1t has done and still hope to save its face"
 "While industry remains in its present state of fear there can be no real recovery. so long as the government competes with in- dustry so long will there be unem- ployment.
 '"The New Deal has planted a seed of hatred which is dynamiting this country into devastating factions. Today it is class against class"
 "The National Labor Relations Board which acts as judge. prosecu- tor and jury in labor disputes is made up of people who have been opposed to business management for years. How can an employer or an employs secure justice before such a hand-picked board.
 "A New Dealer is a Self-styled progressive and liberal person who has apparently forgotten all spiritual existence or hereafter and proclaimS only the material.
 That person has the pagan phi losophy of Marx, Hitler, Stalin and all socialistic and communistic groups. He shouts to all that the government owes every man a iv- ing. But what that New Dealer is really aiming at Is policy of spending that will throw this coun- try into bankruptcy, cerate a chaos, ruin the foundation of our country and then set up a dictatorship. In short a New Dealer is a masked reactionary.
 Fundamental Principles
 "The founders of our government gave us the most progressive and most liberal government known to mankind. It was founded on great fundamental principles and eternal truths, revealed by God, and ex- emplified in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. It glorifies the spirit over material things and thank God. America Is for the pres- ent at least Q religious and Q Christian nation.
