Thorne holds fhe key TO fhe
mysterious double murder.

Chiltern too. Apparently there
was some speculation he'd made
he didn't tell me much about 1t
but it's all right, he said. You
mustn't worry about them finan-
cially. mean, there'll be enough
for the family to live on"
CENSELESSLY Kay found her
- self memoriZing the line of his
jaw, as she thought: So Gilbert's
little flutter which had caused him
so much anguish and doubt had
saved the day after all. Fate had
at least handed them that one,
ironical break.
Tins voice sounded again:
Kay. I asked you here because
l wanted you to hear the truth
before the Major comes back"
THE Major" That pulled her
out of her strange. absent-minded
dream. Things were real again,
only too real, and she remem-
bered what she had incredibly
forgotten-that she was there TO
learn who had killed Ivor Drake
and Alice Lumsden.
Vividly there returned the pic
ture Of Elaine, white-faced and
numb It's all over now
She faltered you really know
the truth ?"
Yes" He hesitated. I've got
a signed confession here in my
pocket "a confession for the
Major"
A confession! That was so
cruelty final. She felt an insane
impulse to cry: Don't tell me.
Don't let me ever know"
In a thin little voice she said:
"How-how did you guess ?"
1T was really all over when 1
realized what Alice had found
out. ] was quite sure when /
heard about the rowlock. i saw
that the truth had to come out
and that the most painless way
was to use the evidence against
Terry to make Elaine talk"
Elaine She said, clinging to
little facts: $50 the rewlock WAS
used in Ivor's murder"
YES" said Thorne, repeating
Rays words, the rowlock was
used in Ivor's murder" After a
moment he continued, And the
Majors reconstruction was al
most entirely right, The murder
did take place just off the island
jetty. Someone did hail Ivor
from the water. He did stop 20
pick them up. The Major was
only wrong on one point. The
murderer was-swimmiBg."
Swimming Kay remem-
bered the swimmer whom Terry
had seen outside the mainland

beach just before the murder, the
swimmer he had thought was
Elaine because of the silver bath
ing cap. cleaning in the moon
light. She said: The murderer
swan and - and borrow d
Elaine's cap"
1T was all quite simple really.
While Ivor was talking TO Elaine
on the dock, his murderer was
already swimming out toward the
island. Ivor left Elaine and
started for the island too. His
murderer was waiting, in the
water, just off the jetty. He
hailed Ivor Hearing his name
called, Ivor naturally stopped the
boat but didn't bother TO turn off
the engine He went to the gun
whale and saw someone in the
water He didn't suspect a thing.
He bent over to help his muir
derer into the boat. With one
hand the murderer gripped his
arm, with the other he struck
him on the temple with the iron
rowlock Ivor tumbled into the
water unconscious. He was left
TO drown. The rowlock was
dropped in the water. The muir
derer swan away"
Il see" Kay felt a cold chill
sliding through her. And Ivor's
leg caught in the aquaplane rope
and the boat drifted with him to
the island beach just the way
the Major said"
Tim nodded. He looked little
sick as if it was almost beyond
his strength to have to tell her.
Then, because the terrible pic
ture was slowly building itself up
in her mind. Kay said: And
and in the struggle Iyor's hand
clutched at the bathing cap and
pulled it off the murderer's
head" She paused adding
shakily: That's it, of course.
And it was the cap Elaine was
looking for when she swan 10 the
island later" Then: "She knew,
didn't she? l should have real
lied. She knew who the muir
derer was all along and she
helped him. That's why she could
never tell the truth"
Tim nodded again. Yes" he
said, Elaine knew who the muir
derer was"

such tremendous rifles are in
their neighborhood and ready for
action. Having taken pictures of
such super-cannon before, the
cameraman thought it might not
be bad idea to try and get the
weapon from a new angle.
He talked the matter over with
the head men at the fort and
made the tentative suggestion
that an unusual picture might be
taken if it were possible for a
photographer to crawl into the
nose of the big gun and get its
likeness, literally, from stem to
stern.
To his surprise the military
powers-that-b thought so, too,
and began making the necessary
arrangements. First off, they
tucked heavy piece Of canvas
in the muzzle to be sure that the
photographers feet would not
scratch the rifling of the gun.

lengths of webbing to strap the
cameraman in his precarious
perch.

Yes, we know how it feels-we doubt if there is anyone
in Hardin who knows better thot peculiar sensation that
comes over the average business man when someone comes
into the store or office and says. I'm selling tickets for. .---.
But we also like to consider just what the money we ore
putting into the tickets or membership cards-or whatever it
isis going TO be used for, and all TOO often we never quite
lind out. Please don't misunderstood. We realize that in
many cases the funds are spent to q very good purpose, even
though the people who ore asking for them are sometimes
q bit hozY about their final destination.
This week local citizens ore being asked to contribute to
the building Of q tennis court here by buying tickets for q
dance TO be held here this Saturday evening. We feel that
it hos been made amply cleor, through the columns OF the
Trbune-Herod and elsewhere, just where the money given
for the tennis court will 90.
In case it is moi, let us point out that the money will be
of local young people.
Hurdin merchants have given fine cooperation to the
boys and girls who have been working so hard to make the
tennis courts here q reality. They have given the best pos
sible prices on materials ond have done their best to get. the
finest quality for the money spent and the quickest service
possible.
When we came TO Hardin more than three years ego, we
were shocked that q town otherwise SO progressive should be
so locking in recreotionol facilities. Since that time, Hardin
hos obtained q swimming pool and the WPA has done q
good deol TO further summer play time activities. Just about
the only thing we really lack is q tennis court.
We've heard q good many comments from parents and
others in regard 10 young people Of high school age and the
devil finding work for idle hands,. This is an opportunity
for those who have been saying such things to help to beat
the devil"

PAYDAY

x11AUx2
Great Falls, Moy = CUP -
Prosperity almost was too much
for the Biackfeet Indians. In
fact, their prosperity almost was
too much for Great Falls.
Recently members of the tribe
received $4,000 from the gov
eminent, proceeds from leased
lands. So, the Indians came
here from Browning for a cele-
bration.
Developments came rapidly.
At a hotel, several warriors were
tempted by fire-water, 81-year-
year-oid Chief Dogs My Guns
told Police Judge Thomas Leni-
han. Just as the war chants be-
came loud in the hotel room and
the war path b%eckoned, police
arrived.
The chief and Joe Middle Ri
der were given suspended fines,
but William Old Rock, Sam Mid
die Calf, Jim Eagle Child and
Jim Bull Child each paid $40
fines or forfeited $40 bonds.
That. however, didn't end the
Indians troubles. Six-year-old
Donald Weasel Head, more &C
customed to trails than city
streets, became lost. After DON
aid was restored to his mother,
Mrs. Weasel Head, the tribe
went back to the reservation.
