THE NEXT hour was a blur,
highlighted by one sharp, poig-
nant scene Brenda's coffin sinking
out of sight into the ground and
turning into a bed Of roses.
Then we were in the car again.
And afte, long, long time it
stopped at my door and Hunt,
who'd got out with me, asked:

as the others drove off.

you say. But-being alone isn't al

But l shook my head. And so he
went off and l walked into the

knowing l was on the verge of solv-

be able to discover the identity of
the murderer if only l could con-
ccntrate sufficiently. And praying

But-nOt hard enough, and not the
right way. Not as | was going to

to my mind.
l let myself in with my key, un-
willing to meet even Rosa in case
she'd come home before me, and
walked through the foyer into the
living room without removing my
hat or coat.
This was where it had started.

Deane arrived from the opposite di-

the mirror, had meant him when
she'd told Deane she'd never seen
him before. And Hunt had had the
effrontery, the very next minute, to
remind her Of their former ac-
quaintance-to be snubbed, too, but
in lesser degree, because Margot's
anger had been half spent!

Up our street the hammers
continue to ring. The first house

carpenters put on yesterday. It's

much for fear the carpenters

The Evanston home is glisten-
ing with a new coat of ivory
paint. Also one of maroon on
the roof and it was amusing to
see how the painter contrived to
keep himself poised on that roof
with both hands free to handle
the brush and paint bucket. He
had a rope tied around his mid
die; the other end attached to
his car beside the house. He
certainly had more faith in that
rope than we did, for we were
all agape and wondering what

And never, as people do now,
Did he note the amount of CAL

He ate it because it was chow.
He never concerned while at
table he sat
Devouring a roast or a pie
AS to whether it held the gland
ular fat
Or was one or two vitamins shy.
He cheerfully chewed every spe-
cies of food
Unworried by troubles or fears
Lest his stomach be hurt by
some fancy dessert,
And he lived for nine hundred
years.

Set Slaughter
Quota for Stute

Under livestock control order
No. 2, which went into effect
April % in Montana, slaughter
ers in this district will operate
under the licenses granted them
last year, OPA announced.
Quota bases set last year will
continue in effect and Slaugh-
terers may butcher 100 per cent
of this base in cattle and calves
and 80 per cent in hogs. Sheep
and lamb are not under control
at present.
Farm slaughterers and non
federally inspected slaughter
plants will hereafter be under
the control of OPA, while the
Department of Agrilture will
cont troll federally inspected
slaughter plants
The purpose behind the joint
action of the Department of
Agrilture and OPA is to direct
the nations livestock supplies
through established channels
and to reduce the operations of
those slaughterers who have in
crease slaughter to such an ex-
tent that they have upset nor
NAL meat distribution and made
it difficult to enforce price CELL
ings.
All slaughterers are required
to keep complete records of
their operations. Requirements
of former licenses should be Sc
cured by application to district
OPA offices in Helena before
May IS.

A major portion of the men
in aviation units are specialists

young men who enlist now for
two, three or four years and re-
turn to civilian life experts in
some trade, Sabo said.
