n nothing came on. OF that black
and haunted meadow behind me.
Then | was on the public road and
| still had to circle ION the road
now around that awful meadow in
order to reach the house.
Well, got to the gateposts which
doomed in the dusk, | could then see
the lights of the Brent house. glim-
mering through the trees. Soon |

| flung it open and felt. into Bee

He caught me and his face
seemed instantly to sharpen -. |

him.
He cried, "Dr. Chivery- Dr..
Chivery!'
Someone else said, "Hhere?
Where:?" and there was a fash Of
color as Alexia, in her long green
tea gown. came hurrying from the
door Of the library. Nicky floated
into my vision, too. Then Anna
came from somewhere, and
screamed so sharply that Beevcns
turned to her and said in a voice Of
snarling authority. Get back to the
kitchen. Shut up!'
Someone-Nicky-was helping
me to a chair. Beevens ran to the
telephone beyond the stairway and
Alexia was telling him what to say,
her pointed face a white, vehement
mask.
Then the trooper (Drue's guard)
came running into the library, and
wrested the telephone from Bee
vens' hand. 81 heard you! heard
everything. Are you sure he's
dead? What happened exactly?
Operator, operator 80"
The trooper jiggled the hook and
finally got the police.
"Where is Peter?" Alexia asked.
II don't know. Yes, | do. He took
her home"
"Took who home?"
"Mrs. Chivery. They left me at
the corner. Someone was on tire
meadow. Tell them that"
The trooper was already shout
ing "Another murder! DR.. Chiv-
cry! In the north meadow down by
the brook" presumably into Nu-
gents distant ear. "She doesn't
know who did it -. Just now, tive
minutes ago 40, the cable
girls still in her room ...'
Alexia looked at Nicky and Nicky
looked at AleXia in utter silence,
as if they didn't need words. The
trooper said, "Okay-okay-okay,"
and emerged into the hall again.
They'll be here right away. Don't
leave the house, any OF you!' he
ran up to the landing where he
stopped. 1t was evidently an order
from Nugent and it was a fairly
strategic spot, for he could see the
whole of the lower hall and part OF
the upper.
Alexia Looked at me. "Do you
know who did it,

Of something moving in the dense

GOOD READING FOR THE WEEK

Broadway heaters" set the pace
for his book of pans and pot shots.
Willard Walters book, Veteran
Comes Back, is the book that every
American at home should read and
inwardly digest. II is one for house,
wives and officials alike, because the
problem concerns every individual.
Written by a veteran of World War
!, man who understands the prob
lem of a fighting mans readjust-
ment, this is the most significant
book to be published in this field.
The first part deals with changed
attitudes the civilian population
may expect in the returning soldier.
The second section discusses d
changed man in a changed world,
while The third frankly shows the
governments treatment of veterans
of the first World War. The last
division is the meat of the book, an
outline of detectives, principles and
methods Of comprehensive programs
for rehabilitation, beginning with
those who are returning at the pres
ent time.
Raymond Clapper; Watching the
World is a record of what Mr.. Clap
per was and how he saw the world
When news of his death came, his
friends formed a Raymond Clapper
Memorial Association to bestow an
annual award to the Washington
newspaper correspondent whose
writings in the previous year have
most perfectly embodied the ideal of
fair and painstaking reporting and
sound craftsmanship that marked
Mr. Clappers work, and have con-
ttibuted most to public enlighten-
ment and sound democracy" This
is high tribute to any man. This
book is collection of Mr.. Clapper's
columns, broadcasts and magazine
articles for the past ten years. The
biographical sketch is by Mrs. Clap
per, the introduction by Ernie Pyle.
And Beat Him When He Sneezes,
by Claire MacMurray, is too good to
miss Taking the title from "Alice
In Wonderlandi" the author uses
snort sketches Of her family life to
which three lively sons contribute
much fun. The small--boy talk is
so genuine that one feels an caves
dropper. In fact the book is de-
lightfully human and good enter
tainment.
The Library door opens to much
more than reading material The
Reference Service enables one to
find information on subjects not al
ways available in separate books
and the Readers Advisory Service
will outline courses of study as well
as reading for individual tastes.

People On Our Side, by Edgar
Snow, is an important book in glo-
bal education, II is divided into
three main divisions - India, China
and Russia. In writing of these
three great countries. Mr.. Shows
observation and conclusions are not
cursory. His travel, knowledge of
the peoples. languages and tradi-
tions gives him more than the usual
reporters angle He is not optimis-
tic in his treatment of the Indian
question He knows Gandhi and
Nehru, talked with them and at
tended meetings of the Indian fac
tions. The threat of violent revolu-
ton in that country is very serious,
as Mr.. Snow sees it. In China he is
hopeful in regard to that part occu-
pied by Soviet China, hut his frank
pessimism in regard to the national
lstic group is very real. To the
Russians, Mr. Snow gives his un-
stinted praise for their will to do,
for what they have done and their
devotion to their task. The whole
book deals primarily with the little
man, the thousands Of obscure peo-
pies working and fighting on our
side.
The Don Flows Home To the Sea,
by Mikhail Sholokhov, is the CON
tinuation Of "And Quiet Flows the
Don" These two volumes repre-
sent some Of the truly great novels
produced in Russia since the ReVo-
luton. Both are internationally
successful. The last volume begins
with the period Immediately follow
ing the revolution of 1917 and goes
through the period of civil war in
1921. The Cossacks form the NOV
ing threads of the story. Their fight
with the Reds, then the Whites, as
guerrillas, bandits, as armies 49, but
reIentlessly fighting an enemy-are
graphically told. 1t is also the sto-
ny of life under the condition OF
battle-families broken, scattered,
individuals torn between love and
hate, and a final surrender to a new
regime, a new way of life.
The COIumnists, by Charles Fish
er, is witty and acidulous book, in
which the author probes into per-
sonalities, minds and souls of Amer
lean columnists. Mr.. Fisher is in
tensely curious and he strikes al
will, not deadly, but with varying
degree of women, injected at prop
erly timed intervals There are mo-
ments when he slips in a few kind
words for Ernie Pyle, Raymond
Clapper and Hanson Baldwin For

volume, such appellations as Dor
othy Thompson, "cosmic force;
Pegler and venom; Lippmann,

SAFETY RULES
FOR PAPER SAVING

To avoid fire hazard, when sal
wage paper is collected, the Depart
ment of Agriculture recommends
that it be stacked neatly and tied in
bundles. Paper boxes should be
flattened, then tied in tight bundles
A metal trunk or bin with a tight
cover is the safest place to store
paper. Next best is to stack paper
bundles on a cement floor away
from furnace, stove or hot pipes.
Soiled or oily paper is useless for
salvage and is also fire hazard and
should be destroyed
