That's because, gentlemen,

Dawson actually felt cheerful
as he phoned the American col

poked through the mystery.
The colonel listened attcn-
lively TO Dawson's request. Yes,
the u. s. Army force had a ply

Sergt. Del Rose, formerly with
some Illinois college-an all
round athlete and a topnotch in

DISCOVERIES
CHAPTER Ill

Afterwards Clyde Dawson
wondered what prompted him
to attend the formal inquest that
following the hanging. There
was no apparent need for him as
a member of the Canadian Intel
ligence Department to attend
in fact, he had plenty of reason
not to 60 because In the pre-cx-
ecution period he had developed
q sincere liking for the con-
demned Lemoy Statler.
But the girls snapshot with It's
humorous reference to Hedy La
MARI had left him restless.
Blind alleys made him unhap-
by. Statler's death didn't re-
move the necessity of tracing
backwards 10 possible spy ring
connections. If he was involved
with others they certainly fol-
lowed the trial and saw no es-
pionage was limited. They would
feel that Statler, true to the spy 5
code, had kept his identity hid
den even TO death.
The coroner moved briskly
through the formalities in the
penitentiary library converted
into a temporary morgue. The
doctors made brief statements
and the jury of witnesses passed
= verdict of death by legal
execution" There was some dis
cussion about the disposal of the
body until Dawson announced

against the flesh. That indicat-
ed TO me that he had at soma
time taken part in major athlet-
les, because it is a trick used
only by topnotCh trainers. -.
The sergeant interrupted:
Perfectly true, Mr.. Dawson,
| have met many doctors who
didn't know that trick
Fine Now, sergeant, here is
the job. Could you examine that
body and give me any hint of
what particular sport or sports
he played in--judging solely
from signs of any old injuries
that may still be evident?
The sergeant remained silent
for a full minute before reply
ing:
II believe could make a good
stab at IT,
My initial observation would
be that the man has all the cX-
terror signs OF a former athlete,
said Rose, looking intently at the
body. That was while back
but not so very lar-pcrhaps III
TO Is years ago. He isn't ilabby
as non athletic men of his size
1 often are. Again It IS fairly OBJ
vious that his left shoulder had
been broken at some tlme-lt IS
larger than the right and OF
rather awkward shape.
Dawson pointed to an obvious
stature marking on the dead
mans right side.
Yes, / noticed that, com
mented Rose. 1t certainly lSn !

say it was made by some knife
like point-say, like a hockey
skate. There are also marks oil
blows around the mouth, deep
ridges that have almost dlsap-
peared with the years. They are
more likely hockey injuries than
an other type.
Gngerly he began moving his
! fingers through the executed
mans hair.
Here something he ex-
claimed, signaling for Dawson 70

who in entertaining distinguished visitors
wanted something distinctive to remind
out of -staters of their trip to Arkansas.
Originally, commissions were to be
conferred only on Arkansans and dis
tinguished persons who actually visited
the State. But the good will spirit in
spired the commissioning of others who
have favored Arkansas in some manner.
Because of the reputation given the
State by crude hillbilly versions Of the
Arkansas Traveller" words. some Ar
kansans objected to the scheme, but
Secretary of State c. G. Hall believes
this criticism has died out
As evidence, he cited the Arkansas
Publicity Commission slogan, Its fun to
be an Arkansas Traveller: the Univers-
ity of Arkansas student newspaper. The
Arkansas Traveller, and the Little Rock
Arkansas Traveller Southern Association
baseball team.
Identity of the original Arkansas
Traveller is a matter of dispute, but in
the Southwest, Col Sanford c. Faulk-
ner. a native Arkansan and one of the
States best known figures Of his time,
is given the distinction.
According to the story, the tune orgl-
mated with Col Faulkner during an 1910

After three months there her break
came. Eastern Airlines needed radio

trial. Since then three other girl opera
tors have been employed and there will
be more.
Anne grins broadly about it now.

much responsibility rested on my
