Workers who ordinarily could
cross the bridge for cents a

In addition the approach high

MRS. BYRON BOWS OUT
One of the hazards of politics
which is hampering to the demo-
cratic system both in Maryland
and elsewhere is the necessity of
heavy campaign contributions. A
Congressman, unless he runs un-
opposed in very safe district, has
to spend sometimes one-third one
half, or in some cases, almost as
much as his $10,000-a-year salary
to be renominated or reelected.
This makes it necessary for him
either to % secure heavy contri
buttons from friends; or (2) con-
duct a law practice on the side
Both have their evils, because

the woman next door bought pair

and the rest of a woman's life is
ruined until she buys new pair of

across the street bought a pair just

God for that! At least she hadn't
been rolled out of speeding car
into some ravine on the outskirts of
town. George heard footsteps
cross the Office toward his hiding
place. ''Okay, babe" voice said.
Get down and open it!'
Sally must have refused. There
was a new voice. Better play ball

to ask nicer

Then George swung the paper cut
ter. As he swung he leaped, and
Knocked down the fiashlight with
his left hand. There was a curse
and a shot in the dark. Sally was
behind him he knew. He swung the
paper cutter in front of him in a wide
arc.
Then he swung again, reaching
farther into the pitch blackness.
This time the blade connected.
There was howl of pain and a
stampede for the door. At the same
instant the lights in the foyer blazed
on. Reinforcements! Silhouetted
against the light, two thugs dashed
out, and met fusillade of shots.
GEoRGE stopped over Sally and
helped her unite the gag which had
made her so silent. He kissed her,
held her tight against him, and
didn' t let go when Mr.. Blum came in.
Save it, Mr.. Blum" said George.
Eyes, I've been meeting one of the
employees every night. I'm kissing
one of the employees right now.
And we're going to get married to-

Evening star., 1942-10-11

One morning they threw discre-
ton to the winds - George called
for Sally at her house in broad day
light. They drove out of the city,
into the country. and had a picnic
by stream under a sycamore tree.
But they had to hurry back be-
cause CT the matinee, and felt nerv-
Gus and worried driving through the
streets of town. Anybody might see
them. One of the usherettes or the
doorman. Most of these people
probably wouldn't tell, but there
was Mr.. Faverish, who was the Star
Company's detective. He wouldn't
hesitate. He was hired to tell.
That state of affairs might have
gone on indefinitely. But one Sunday
evening George saw some men stop
for several minutes under the mar
quee and stare at Sally in her little
brightly lighted goldfish bowl. 1t
angered him that she had to sit there .
and be stared at.
At closing time Sally left the the
ater first. Five minutes later George
took his car from the parking lot and
went to their rendezvous in the
alley. She wasn't there
Fear struck his heart; Sally must
be in trouble - real trouble, the
kind where life hung in the balance.
He didn't take time to see if she
had gone home. She wouldn't have
done that without telling him. He
drove back to the theater, the near

MR. BLUM exploded, How do you

There are two days receipts in

met every night for months. She

men around the block. Move them in
slowly towards the theater, not too
fast. Let them wait till trouble
starts. They'll sure hear me them
But the receipts from two days!
Five, six thousand dollars, maybe!'
That's just money! We have to
get Sally out of this"
''She has the combination" said
Mr.. Blum. Shell tell them!'
That's the trouble. She sOon't
tell them. Or she'll tell them wrong.
That's what I'm worried about!
George closed the Office door and
locked it. Then he waited there in
the dark, hoping Sally would tell
the thugs the combination to the
safe; tell them anything they asked,
not irritate them in any way. All he
wanted was Sally safe in his arms.
There had been a double feature
that night, and preview. 1t was
twelve-thirty before the theater had
emptied. 1t might be one O'Clock
by now. Already the streets would be
deserted. At any moment the safe
crackers would come.
GEORGE searched about him in the
dark for a weapon. Then he thought
of the paper trimmer in the stock
room. He groped his way to the
locked door and let himself in. He
located the machine in the dark,
but had to risk lighting match to
see how it was put together. The
blade detached easily. He gave it an
experimental swing. Then he went
back into his Office.
The thugs would be edgy when
they came through the door, their
guns on hair trigger. At the door,
then, was a bad place to tackle
them. George selected his ambush.
He crouched behind the desk within
arms reach of the safe. By the time
they reached that point their
attention would be focused on the
problem of opening the safe. They
wouldn't expect an ambush.
The foyer of the theater was long
ramp leading up from the sidewalk.
Not a quarter of an hour had passed
before he heard the sound of foot
steps coming up that ramp.
Several keys were tried in the
Office door. SalIy's keys. Then who
ever it was got the right one The
bolt was retracted; George heard the
door swing open. A fashlight spanned
the room. Then a voice said:
