Answer to yesterdays puzzle

ing I'd give II to you. After all,
i have no one to- leave IL to-"
Miss Shaw said.
II was a lovely necklace. Nadia
had often admired it and she got
excited and wanted to go right
over and search for it. She said
she wouldn't mind fishing around
in the water if she had a ladder
to hold to.
So while Nadia was putting on
her bathing suit Miss Shaw found
neighbor TO mind Jackie and
borrowed one Of the superintend
ent's ladders.
Then she and Nadia drove over
to the old Howard place with the
ladder and lowered it into the
IciStern.
There was about three feet of
water and Nadia climbed down
smiling and stepped from the last
rung of the ladder and began to
poke around.
Then suddenly she was floun-
dering in water over her head.
She tried TO scream and went
under and down.
She came up but her face didn't
seem her own. 1t had become a
white patch of featureless terror.
She was deaf from terror and
couldn't seem to hear Miss Shaw
shouting at her TO grasp the
ladder.
But as she went down again she
struck the ledge on which the lad
der was resting and managed to
pull herself up by that.
When finally she climbed up out
of the cistern she just threw her
self on the grass exhausted. Miss
Shaw. little aghaSt at what she
had done, sat down beside her.
CRUELTY MEMORY
81 knew the ladder was only
resting on a ledge" Miss Shaw
said. "When i was little girl
l used to play over here and I
learned about that ledge then.
i brought you over here de-
llberately-to be as cruel to you
rs you've been 10 Jackie--tO let
you know how IL feels to cope
with something for which you're
not prepared or able"
But 1 never meant TO he cruel
to Jackie" Nadia sobbed.
Miss Shaw took the topaz neck
lace from her pocket.
Here, want You to have
this--a gift that will keep re-
minding you that you never
meant 10 be cruel"
Nadia pushed the necklace away.
II wouldn't hurt Jackie for
anything in the world. I never
meant to hurt him."
"No, but he got In your way
and sometimes when things or
peOple--even our own children
sometimes when things are too
much In the way, we begin TO
make strange plans down In our
subconscious minds. plans we
know nothing about"
Nadia didn't answer. She went

had to take a couple of stitches in
the little chin. Miss Shaw felt
grim and savage although the
doctor seemed more concerned
over the shock to Nadia than over
the hurt 10 the child.
The next morning the weather
was blistering. Miss Shaw took a
fan when she went TO see how
Jackie was getting on. She had to
wait quite a while to be let in. But
somehow the news of Nalda's work
on the junk jewelry had gotten
around and Miss Shaw supposed
Nadia was putting the jewelry out
of sight.
After a while Nadia let her in
and there was Jackie with the
bandage on his chin and a piece
of clothes line tied around his
waist and dangling in a long tail.
Nadia explained she had tied
Jackie up because he was running
around so much she was afraid
he'd fall on his chin.
But Jackie said tearfully that
she had tied him in the closet and
his hair was wet and the beads
of sweat stood out on his neck
and forehead.
NECKLACE is BAIT
Nadia denied he had been tied
/ in the closet but Miss Shaw was
convinced Nadia was in the habit
of tying him there. Suddenly she
asked Nadia in a queer voice:
Can you SWIM"
When Nadia said she couldn't
Miss Shaw said that was too bad
because she had been over earlier
to the old deserted Howard place
looking for roses and had gone
poking around the old cistern and
dropped her topaz necklace into
the water. 4

WASHINGTON-T House For eign Affairs Committee heard some glowing reports of the bravery and tough fighting qualities of Chinese troops when Secretary of War Stim- son and other cabinet officers tes- tified behind closed doors on the $500, 100000 loan to China.
 However, the committee also got some information about internal affairs in China which wasn't so heartening.
 Secretary Morgenthau warne d that the morale of the Chinese ci- vilian population was not the best. Initial Jap successes in the Pacific Southwest had something to do with this, he said, but the chief reason was acute and protracted economic distress, which had brought imitation and widespread starvation.
 We must take steps without de- lay to stabilize Chinese currency" Morgenthau held. That's just as important, if not more so. at the moment, than arms shipments"
 The situation has been greatly aggravated recently, the committee was told. by intensive fifth column activities to spread dissension in the Chinese army and distrust of the United States among civilians.
 In this connection, Assistant Sec retary of State Breckinridge Long made some eye-opening disclosures about secret Jap maneuvers to ne- gotiate peace with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. The Chinese war lord indignantly rejected these over lures, Long declared, but Quisling elements in China were continuing their intrigues among both troops and civilians.
