employment compensation, went
into effect January 1st.

rest may be used as credit
against taxes paid On 1943 in

time after the war ends.
The victory tax is five per cent
of all income in excess of 1924
a year, or SIP a week. In the
case of a man on wage or sal

If a man is in business for
himself or Is a domestic servant
or a farm worker or a public
official whose income consists OF
fees, he will pay the tax along
with his regular levy on 1943
income, due March IS, 1914.

Sugar Beet Acreage

Representatives of the sugar
industries are meeting in Wash
ington, D. c. today, hopeful
that the department of agricul-
ture will have ready for their
consideration a plan for ex-
pansion of the beet and cane
acreage.
Rep. Robinson of Utah is
one of the leaders urging in
creased acreage and price. He
recently told d.. Joshua Bern
hardt, chief of the departments
sugar agency, that the program
should very definitely give the
farmer assurance that the price
of beets would be raised and sug-
gested that an increase of so
cents a hundred-weight of SUI
gar would increase the cost to
the consumer only IS cents a
year.
The matter, he stated, does
not have to come before con-
gress since the department has
ample authority to change the
price.

bolts. It was an old, frightening
building through which murder had
walked. Agatha was retracing her
steps to the place Of horror from
which she had fed only few hours
before.
They reached the second floor,
turned and continued on up toward
the third. Agatha's feet did not
want to 60. They wanted to turn
and run, but the balustrade stead
led her on one side and Cleman-
tines cold hand on the other.
II there had been some sound
from the floor above, she would
have felt better. 1t was quiet
still as death itself.
The stairs opened out into an
other long, bare hall, in darkness
except for the light that shone
through the transom above the
door on their immediate left-the
door of Professor Halder's room.
The lighted transom was shut
tight, but those above other doors
visible in the dim glow were open
for ventilation. Someone snored in
nearby room, undisturhed by the
rumble Of another passing train.
Two persons awaited them out
side the professors door-a man
and a girl. Agatha guessed the
man was another plain clothes po-
liceman. Clemantine squeezed her
arm and whispered, "Estelle Bios
SOM"
The man on guard pushed the
door open to call to his superior
inside. As 1t swung wide it revealed
the foot Of the iron bedstead, the
bedclothes in confusion - and
thank goodness, no! The bed was
empty. Empty except for a dark
stain on the rumpled sheet!
A tall man stood up from exam
ming something on the floor. He
seemed to unfold to tremendous
height. He turned a hard face to-
ward the women, a face with high
cheek bones and square jaw.
Their escort introduced Cleman-
tine, ignoring Agatha. "Lieuten-
ant, here's the dame you wanted to
see"
Lieutenant Larkey nodded with
out smiling. Miss Brown" he said
slowly, II understand that you saw
quite a bit Of Professor Halder."

mantine hesitated. "Of course, she
did! I bumped into her sneaking

That's not true"
Agatha accused her. How about
yourself, Miss Blossom? She met
you-coming OUT"
Professor Halder and I were en-
gagged to be married."
Agatha stared at her, shocked.
She could not speak. She thought,
That's a lie" Estelle, for a recent
ly bereaved fiancee, gave no sign
Of being broken hearted. There
were no tears-nothing but anger
in her eyes.
Lieutenant Larkey cleared his
throat. Miss Brown, could / bor-
row one Of your hairpins?"
Clemantine's eyes widened, but
she drew one Of the bent wires out
OF her hair and dropped 1t in his
outstretched hand. He pulled his

second hairpin, and held them
both close under the lamp on the

"Of course, they're alike!" ex

planned the tall police officer calm
ly. 1T is a common type Of hair
pin"
You're right" Agatha told him.

might be mine! Why don't you ask
Miss Blossom for one Of hers for
comparison ?"
Il don't use hairpins," Estelle in
formed her colby. She shook her
head to demonstrate the fufiness
Of the blond hair that swept her
shoulders.
Agatha had 70 admit that Es-
telle was beautiful Emotion had
heightened the color In cheeks
which held dimples even when she
was angry. Her eyes were dark
flashing now-veiled with extreme
ly long, soft lashes. She was tall,
but not bony, and she knew how to
wear clothes that would have
seemed out Of place on most COL
lege girls. Agatha wondered sud-
denly, WAS she a college girl ,"
THE hairpin on the floor is most
interesting" observed the lieuten-
ant. 1T is the first clue in a chain
that will trap this murderer. We
know a woman had something to
