 The dark woman seemed un- certain. Finally she opened the door.
 "Jut wait in the parlor. She will be home from the office in a short while :"
 "omceP Perhaps I could pick her up. Where ""
 The housekeeper spoke curtly: "The War Supplies Department does not permit callers = just wait in the parlor."
 Thanking her, Dawson entered
 Abrutly Dawson tensed as he saw a framed photograph on the fireplace ledge. It was that of an American soldier a sharp-faced man of about 28. There was no mistaking him = remembering faces was Dawsorl's forte. @
 The picture was that of the American soldier whose body had been found beside that of the Royal Air Force Ferry Command captain in the speakeasy in St. Johns, Newfoundland one Of the two murders for which Le- moy Statler, alias Darwin Lemoy, had been hanged!
 (To Be COntinued)
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-13

"Who?"
 Darwin Lemoy, the man whose picture was sent to me by your department at Ottawa :"
 So that was it, unused Dawson Lemoy Statlers real name was Darwin. Lemoy.
 Well, Lemoy was one of the university's all-time, all-around athletic stars. He was particularly able in hockey :"
 Baseball too, perhaps?"
 "Oh yes, baseball too. He cap tained championship diamond team, but it was in hockey that he won his brightest spurs. I even understand that at one time the Boston Bruins and Chicago Hawks made him offers, but he said he wasn't interested in professional sport. But he apparently changed his mind later on because, after graduating from law school in 1929 and practicing for 8 few years, we heard that he had gone abroad to play hockey for a Czechoslovakian team in 1885. Two years later, however, he at tended reunion here and starred in an Old Boys versus 'Today's Boys hockey game. We have the reunions every five years and :"
 That make one due this year what month, dean?" asked Daw- son.
 "This month, in two weeks time. But we had no report from Darwin Lemoy. The publicity committee tried to locate him, but all letters came back stamped with No Such Person at This Address, Perhaps you can give me some idea about what hap pened :"
 I'm sorry" replied Dawson quietly. T cannot divulge any in- formation except that he will not be available for this reunion. You may tell anybody that much but no more and, under no considera- tion, tell who gave you the infor- nation. If I'm to keep my prom ise about secrecy you must recip- rocate, right?"
 The dean dismissed the matter with wave of his hand.
 "The only other information can give you is that I heard from a number of sources - mostly fel- low alumni - that they had grown rather irked with Lemoy. Ap- parently his ideas had under gone some queer twists in recent years
 Tn what way?"
 well, he seemed to defend the Nazi system whenever occasion arose. and appeared to have a plentiful and impressive array of figures to back up opinions at all times"

Q SERIAL STORY
 MURDER IN FERRY COMMAND

I accompanied the photos - mostly fqrom a sport column by one Fergie O'Meara.
 Dawson took a taxi to the Chi cago Star office. Fergie O'Meara, a kindly-mannered Irishman, wheeled around from his typewriter.
 I'm in an awful rush, but I always have time for 8 friend of Darwin Lemoy's," he boomed at Dawson's single sentence of in troduction. Maybe you can tell me where the son of a gun is - he's wanted fo the old Boys game at State on :"
 "Just a minute, MT. OMeara," /" laughed Dawson. T can't tell you where he is ' I'm trying to find that out, too. Being an old friend of the family in town on business I thought you, as his most loyal historian, might be able to give some lead"
 "No can do. AS a matter of fact, I'm a little hurt that he didn't drop me a note. We used to see a lot of one another at college games, and his friends were my friends. :"
 Then maybe this will prove the lead" cut in Dawson, taking the girls picture from his pocket. Did you, by any chance, ever come across this girl in company with him?"
 OMeara took one glance at the picture and his eyes lit up: Well, we'll this picture is very fa- miliar to me. Last time I saw Le- moy - it was 8 year ago or so-the Star was running a Movie Double contest and he entered this pie ture. She was some girl he knew from Homewood - that's a suburb and I remember he got big kick out of 1t when she won the weekly cash award :"
 Dawson concealed his eagerness.
 "If she won a cash award that means your cashier will likely have a record of her name and address :"
 O,Meara was already on the phone. "I1l have 1t in jiffy = if you get any news, give me call, huh?"
 Ten minutes later Dawson was in a taxi bound for Homewood, his pulse quickening.
 Outide conservative lime stone house, Dawson paid the driver and slowly mounted the steps, studying every external de- tail from force of habit.
 A tall dark woman in house. keepers garb answered the door bell.
 "Is Miss Carole Fiske in2" he asked, fairly holding his breath for the answer.
 The dark woman glared at him before speaking. Miss Tiske isn't here."
 Dawson played a long shot. Lowering his voice he said: \

THE GIRL IN THE CASE
 CHAPTER V

At LaGuardia airport in New York, cable caught up with Clyde Dawson just as he was boarding an evening plane for Chicago. It was from the chief of police at St. Johns and read:
 Body of man executed here December six found by cemetery caretaker to have been mutiliated in vault STOP Right hand miss ing STOP Frankly am up well known tree but chasing down every lead STOP Have you any ideas?"
 Dawson smiled to himself as he took a telegraph blank from the waiting messenger. It must have hurt the chief = a graduate of Scotland Yards famed Criminal h. vestigation Department to cable such a confession of Illustration, and Dawson pictured the chiefs eyebrows lifting when he would read the reply:
 Think nothing of it Chief STOP The missing hand is tempo rarily in cold storage at North Sydney while the playful lad who did the chopping is being detained by the Dominion Intelligence De- partment in Halifax STOP Will explain fully later STOP Will be at Eddington Hotel in Chicago for few days if you wish contact with me Regards"
 The flight to Chicago was pleas ant one. The dinner was good, the sunset delightful, and the plane purred along with bumpless ease. The investigator folded his news paper to enjoy the serenity divorced from a few hours from war and murder and hangings and the sor- " panorama of human tragedy.
 The dean of State University re- ceived Dawson the next afternoon and got to the point immediately.
 Nov here's the story about Darwin Lemoy :"

Tracing him through the passenger list, Dawson cap- lures Paul Dexel, a confederate of the hanged man in spy Oper- ations against the R. A. F. Bomber Ferry Command. Traces of ink show that fingerprints have been taken of the dead mans hand. With Dexel cap tured, Dawson proceeds toward Chicago, following the clew of StatIer's cryptic note about broken reunion date" and a girl who looks like a famous actress.

daughter. Mrs. L. j.. Mombera

ut the Methodist Church Satur.
day afternoon. with the Rev,
Allen C. Wilcox officiating.
Browning Funeral H o m e had
charge Of arrangements. Inter.
was made in tn e Browning
Catholic cemetery beside t h e
grave of his wife.
The following obituary was
prepared by Mary b. Salois:
The death of Mr.. Bird removes
from this community one of the
real pioneers. He was born in
Kansas City. NO.. December IL,
l846 where he lived until he at
tanned manhood.
At the age of 20 he came west
and engaged in freighting in the
eastern part of Montana Terri
tory, following the route from
Bozeman to the Canadian border.
His real purpose n coming
west was to engage in prospect
ing. He an d Mr.. Phennister
spent number of years pros
pecting for gold in the country
that is now Yellowstone Park
and adjacent territory.
He was among the early freigh-
tiers out of Fit. Benton, hauling
freight to the old government
Fort Logan. On one particular
trip as he was returning north
word reached him that General
Custer's Command h d been
wiped out by the Sioux on the
Little Big Horn. He had been
hauling supplies to tn q o | d
Seventh Cavalry.
Mr.. Bird was close friend of
the late Paris Gibson and we'll re-
membered the time when M r.
Gibson, being peeved at tn e
people of Fl. Benton told them,
"I'll leave this town and start a
real town somewhere else.' His
statement became true a - h e
started Ct. Falls.
Mr.. Bird hauled the first
freight load of furniture n d
supplies to h e original Park
Hotel in Ct. Falls.
In the year of 1880 he was
married to Matte Medicine Wolf
Woman, a member of the Black.
feet Tribe. They made their
home in Choteau for a number of
years and later moving to the re-
servation. Their first home here
was at Old Agency where he was
in charge of t h e government
herd of cattle. The family NOV
ed to a ranch on Willow creek
which later became the Metho-
dist Mission. Their next home
was about a mile down the creek
which within short time be-
came the Blackfeet Agency of
today. Later the family moved to
q ranch on Cut Bank creek where
they lived for many years.
During his more than 90 years
MIR. Bird saw many changes in
the ways of life. He watched
and took part in the development
OF this community. He often re-
marked h e never thought h e
would see the day when he would
watch airp.anes in the sky, auto

treacherous trails. electric lights
