I WAS high-pitched, ear-split-

woman.
Following it there was a shot,
series of groans, a heavy, thud-
ding sound.
Then silence. A profound, heavy
silence.
Clyde Greene was the first to
reach the corridor. Clyde's room
was next to that occupied by Marie
Leland. AS the youth opened the
door he switched on a light button
and the corridor was brilliantly il
Illuminated.
Clyde pounded on Marie LeIand's
door. There was no answer, and he
decided to force the lock. BY this
time, the corridor was filed with
people. Doors opened and fright
ened, curious faces looked up and
down. At sight of Clyde opening
Marie Leland's door, they came run
ming.
Clyde paused just inside the room.
A shapeless bulk on the floor OBJ
structed his passage. He felt along
the wall, found a switch and snapped
it on.
The bulk on the floor was a dead
man. Blood oozed from a wound
in his temple. Clyde recognized
him at once as one of his weekend
guests. His name was Howard
Lund, and he was known to be mad
ly in love with Marie.
Marie lay on the bed, unconscious.
A dressing gown partly covered her
form. Her face was white as chalk.
Clyde kept his head. 1t was his
house; he was, in sense, respon.

Marie! But good heavens, how
could it be? When I arrived in the
room she was lying on the bed un-
conscious"
"How do you know she was un-
conscious?"
Clyde bit his lip. He regarded the
inspector steadily, wanting to be-
lieve, fearful of what the man knew.
"She identified herself as the muir
deress when she told her story. She
mentioned awakening and seeing a
mans wrist watch glowing in the
dark. A mans! Why not wom-
ans? She knew it was mans be-
cause she was expecting a man.
And she wanted that man out of the
way because of what he might tell.
Besides, how many men who were
in this room tonight wore wrist
watches? None. All but Howard
Lund had removed their watches for
the night"
Bean paused. "She shot him.
The gun was lying close by his hand.
She had wiped it off with a handker-
chief. I have the handkerchief in
my pocket. It's spotted with grease
marks from the gun. She had bare
ly time to feign Inconsistencies on
the bed when you arrived. She must
have been breathing heavily. It's
odd you didn't notice."
Clyde sank into a chair. He turned
his head as sound came from near
the door. He opened it and Detec-

was Marie Leland, fully clad, mis-

Family Trouble Starts
Over Handling Finances

Nothing causes more friction in
the American family than the ques-
ton of who shall handle the fam
ily's finances. Man is traditionally
the provider, so of course, his self
esteem makes him unable to bear the
thought of a woman telling him how
to handle his money.
The thing to do, according to one
expert on financial problems is to
treat the problem as a business con-
cern treats it. A business concern
makes its purchasing agent the
shrewdest bargainer it can dig up
and to hire the best bookkeepers it
can find for its auditing department.
1t doesn't give the purchasing job
to a good contact or idea man, or the
auditing jobs to a bunch of good
statesmen.
Do the same thing in your home,
the expert advises. Take stock of
each partner-rule out the vanities
and taboos-determine which of the
two firm members is the better at
stretching dollar and keeping track
of all the dollars that come in and
go out, and then simply elect that
partner chancellor of the home ex-
chequer.
Run the business side of the fam
lily as business, Internationally and
shrewdly and you will likely detour
lot of emotional upsets, not to
mention a lot of inefficient use of
what money you have to use.

Segregation is the special Amer

the former slaves-equality Of citi-

aide, Bert Ross, arrived on the

Marie Leland's room. Minutes later
they came back downstairs and
confronted the scantily-clad guests
in the drawing room. And with

wasn't watching him.
"I don't think So"

Why It,s StonewalI Iacksnn

Time: July 81, 1861.
Place: Manassas, Prince William
county, Virginia.
Dramatis Personae: Generals
Thomas Jonathan jackson and Ber-
nard Elliott Bee, Federal and Con-
federate troops.
1t was the first Battle of Bull Run,
or as the South prefers to call it,
Manassas.
Under the withering fire and ir-
resistible charge of the Federals, the
Confederate General Bees brigade
had broken and was on the verge
of utter rout.
AS from nowhere, appeared Gen.
eral Jackson with five of Virginia's
crack regiments, who, though con-
fronted by superior numbers, we're
holding their own, were indeed be-
ginning to press forward.
"See, there is jackson standing
like a stone WALL" shouted Bee to
discouraged soldiers.
Suiting their actions to his stirring
words, which passed from lips to
lips, the fast faltering troops re-
formed their ranks and put up such
a stiff fight as to contribute materi-
ally to shifting the tide of battle,
the Federals coming off second best.
General Bee was killed leading the
fresh rally; but his sobriquet,
"Stonewall' for Thomas Jonath2'
