yours" she said simply. I'm not
thief and never have BEEN" She
steeled herself to go on. Il never
loved you and I never intended to
marry you. I had purpose in
mind when I became engaged to you
I wanted to get that diamond and
through you the path was opened.
And so I strung along" She low
cred her voice to impart the other
bit of news she wanted to tell him.
You see, Joe, love Dan Brew
ster, and I have for long time,
but he didn't know it."
1T doesn't matter now who you
love-" He spoke just above a Whis-
per and Honey had to lean forward
to catch his words. You won't
live to marry any one" His words
sounded final, as though he knew
1t for certain.
Honey was out of his line of
focus, but she shook her head in
denial. not realizing that he could
not see her.
mo, I'm not going to die, Joe.
I'm not even hurt. The crash shook
me up a bit and knocked me out
for few minutes. But I am all
right now"

She could see Arts tall figure pac-
ing to and fro on the highway, i'm
patiently waiting for motorist to
come to their aid.
Joe took up his end of the conver-
sation as if he had not heard her
words of denial about her death.
There were two things in the
world I wanted above all else be-
cause I love beauty. The Sylvester
diamond and you. 1 can't have the
diamond now. YOU saw to that. But
I can take you with me" A CUR
Cling sound escaped his throat. 1t
sounded like he was choking. Tears
came faster to Honey's eyes and she
wrung her hands helplessly as she
sat near him, watching.
He struggled hard for a breath and
got it. Then with great effort he
moved his body slightly. His head
turned to face her and she was glad
of the darkness that hid what might
lie in his eyes at the moment.
AS they faced each other there in
the darkness, a silence seemed to
settle over the earth and not a sound
came through the night. 1t was so
still that Honey could hear her own
heart humping. When she thought
she could stand the quiet no longer,
Joe spoke.
You are very beautiful, Honey.
But you are going to die" he said,
and there was conviction in his tone.
mo, Joe, I'm all right" insisted
Honey.
You're going to die" he repeated,
and his voice was stronger now And
then suddenly he lifted an arm and
gun swayed toward her at close
range. She tried to move, but too
late. There was an explosion and
Il squirt of fire as Joe pulled the
trigger.
Honey slumped over in a heap on
the ground as Art came running up.
Honey" Art cried. There was
no answer.
Art Carey's face went white in

the girl. In hurried panic he turned
her over on her back, and as his
hand touched the shoulder of her
coat he felt the warm Wetness of
blood. 1t was a shock, that Slip
perry warmth, but there was en-
couragement in the position of the
wound. Art felt his heart pound
heavily with relief, and he thought
abstractedly that it must have
stopped altogether during the mo-
ment after he found her.
But there was nothing he could
do, and the realization swept over
him sickeningly. He looked up
from Honey's still form and he saw
Joe Danburne. Something burned
inside him as he got to his feet
and moved heavily, with narrowed
eyes, toward the man who had tried
to kill this girl. But Joe Danburne
did not move, did not look up as
Art stood towering over him. And
the toe that Art put roughly against
Danburnes chest to turn him over
stopped abruptly. and Shakingly

1t was at that moment that Art
heard the sound of an approaching

middle of the road. 1t wouldn't be
hard to attract the attention of the
driver; the wrecks of the two cars
were a hulk of black, twisted metal
and agonized bands of weaving
chromium, standing an ugly sentinel
to loom up before approaching
headlights.
He heard the rubbery bite Of tires
as the brakes of the car were ap-
piled and then a man was running
toward him. He followed Art to

SINGAPORE, Sept. 30.-Alfred
Duff Cooper, British war co-ordi-
nator in the Far East, was engaged
today in a series of conversations
intended to improve correlation Of
British oriental political activity.
Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, Am

Polite Thief
Returns Purse
With Regrets

There's one thief in Washington
who is ever so polite about his or
her chosen calling.
The thief last Friday removed a
pocketbook containing sll from the
department store counter where Mrs.
James Battle of Mullins, S. c.. owner
Of the purse, had paused to sniff
the cold cream.
There were letters in the pocket
book, written by Mrs. Battles hus-
band to the Rockville Md address
where Mrs. Battle was visiting her
sister, Mrs. J. S. Dawson.
Yesterday, prettily wrapped
package arrived by special delivery
at Mrs. Dawson's home. Inside the
tissue coverings was the missing
pocketbook and inside that was
everything that had been lost, ex-
cept the S11 Mrs. Battles glasses
were carefully inclosed in tissue
paper.
The thief had typed a ncte, neatly
folded.
My regrets, little lady. and my
sincere good wishes" the note be-
gan.
Then, underlined and in capital
letters, was the advice, Hold it,"
There was a postscript:
Really, did not read your letters

an emergency stimulant for national
morale"
By-Product Of Emergency.

Mr.. McNutt, who also is director
of defense health and welfare serv-
ice. added that it seems curious
that recent awakenines to
recreational needs have come as a
by-product of national emergency.
He stressed the need Of continuing
"at all costs TO utilize, fully and
efficiently, the fine plants and equip
ment for recreational needs built
up in so many places during recent
years.
The Rev. DR.. Reinhold Niebuhr of
Union Theological Seminary in a
keynote speech said "the problem of
play and recreation becomes more
and more important in technical
civilization. Such civilization
produces more and more marginal
time, and marginal human poten-
tialities which are not absorbed in
the days work.
I'VE cannot produce democracy by
play alone. But we must use the
marginal time and capacities of
men for the development of democ-
racy just as seriously as we seek to
organize their work for that pur-
pose. Liberty and brotherhood must
be the two goals of a recreational
program no less than the goal of
an economic and a political pro-
gram"
Miss Alice Marble, former inter-
national amateur tennis champion
spoke at a special luncheon meeting
attended by $50 feminine recreation
leaders.

Deportation Finding
On Bridges Headed
For Appeals Review
Counsel Indicates Case
Will Be Token to
Supreme Court
BY ]. A. FOX.

The long fight of the Government
to sepd Harry R. Bridges back to
his native Australia was off on a
new tack today, with chances IA
voring the probability that the Su-
preme Court eventually will say
whether the 40-year-old leader of
the c. I. o. is to be deported as
Communist.
ClimaXing an 1l-week hearing on
a deportation warrant, in San Fran
cisco, Judge Charles B. Sears Of
Buffalo serving AS presiding in
spector in the case, yesterday hand
ed down a 185-page decision hold
ing that the Communist party ad-
vocates the overthrow of this Gov
ernment by force and violence, and
that Mr.. Bridges had been shown
to have been q member of the Or
ganization and therefore was sub
ject to deportation under the Alien
Registration Act of 1910. At the
San Francisco hearing. Mr.. Bridges,
the president of the International
LongShoremen and WarehouSemens
Union, and California director of the
c. I. O.. denied that he was or had
been Communist.
Word of Judge Sears decision
was countered by the announcement
of Richard Gladstein of New York,
defense counsel, that I'VE are deeply
shocked by the decision, which will
be received by thousands of union
men and women with resentment
and indignation Naturally we
shall exhaust every legal channel
of appeal to remedy the grave wrong
that has been done"
Routine procedure will bring the
decision up for review before the
fve-man Board of immigration Ap-
peals. headed by Joseph F. Faneln,
and having as a member former
Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Ari-
zona. With the record in the case
covering more than $500 pages,
this proceeding, at which Mr..
Bridges has the right of appearance,
Is expected to consume some weeks,
The board findings-either uphold
ing or setting aside Judge Sears de-
cision, goes then to Attorney Gen.
eral Biddle for approval In the
event the presiding inspector is up
held all along the line and de-
portation order is issued, it is ex-
pected that Bridges will seek writ
OF habeas corpus in Federal Court
to stay execution. This step would
pave the way ultimately for Su-
preme Court action.
The high tribunal has yet to say
II membership in the Communist
party is cause for deportation.
Under the Alien Registration Act,
however, past membership in a sub
versive organization is grounds for
deportation, and in the Bridges case,
therefore, the court would have to
decide if the Communist party came
within this description.
