On a bunch, the sergeant
went to the town barber shop.
When the talkative Newt Jen-

that the officer was entirely
bafTled by the case he remarked
that he had seen Lester Clark

THE FRIENDS OF THE
PEOPLE. This book. by AL
fred Neumann (Macmillan), is
one of the great historical novels
of the times. 1t is laid in the
Paris of the Franco-Prussian
War and is both an ironical
study in revolutionary psychol-
ogy and a saga of the martyr
dom of Paris during the dreadful
winter of 1904, when the
Parisians, surrounded by the
Prussian armies. paid five francs
for rats fished out of the sewers
of the city and babies died like
flies because there was no milk.
Neumann has written a
breathless book, a book in the
nervous, quickly paced style of
Victor Hugo and Alexandra
Dumas. Through its terrible
events there is woven the love
story OF Pierre and Leonie.

TrampIed Ground
indicates Hard Struggle

The sergeant heard the de-
tails from fearful Mrs. Turner.
II developed that her husband
had left the house at 7:30 after
dinner 10 meet a crony at a
drug store in town where they
were TO make arrangements for
a fishing trip.
Satisfied { h "a everything
checked inside. the officer
turned his attention outside. His
search here convinced him that
the attack must have been
made at the kitchen door by
some one hidden around the
corner Of the house. This
seemed to be borne out by the
trampled condition of the ground
there.
When Deputy f. r. Hill
arrived on the scene, he was
sent back TO town TO check on
the injured mans activities
there. At the drug store Hill
learned that Turner's friend,
Everett Hass, had showed up
and waited around until he was
convinced that the usually
punctual fisherman had for
gotten tho appointment.

parcel from under his arm and
opened il on the desk. 1t was a
mans shirt spattered with Grim

stared hypnotically at the damn

Realizing that he had his man
off guard, Williams pulled a
time-honored ruse. He shrugged
nonchalantly:
