 And then Mary stopped it |. Closed out that pleading voice . |. With her high spiked heels she struck down, again and again and again :. and The soft white fingers became crushed beyond recognition, and then they disap- peared as Lena's sleek animal-like figure rolled over and over and away into the darkness and the night to the low chuckles of the Spring freShet ..
 I refused to believe it happened. It didn't! It couldn't! It was a con- figuration of our guilty hearts But Mary's broken bloody heels gave mute testimony We should have burned them WHY DIDN'T WE BURN THEM? ??
 The court brought in evidence that Lena's brother who works for the weather bureau told her of the rain and flood conditions around our camp district in Connecticut t. She wasn't spying .. Her love drove her, even unto death to save my worthless life =. Why am crying like a baby? couldn't weep when I saw her lying dead and still with those shapeless questing fingers covered with flowers -. Why am blub bering now? Hark!
 I hear the tread of the guard who'll take me back to the court room The jury couldn't have been out long, although it seems forever Why is my mind like a photograph record? Do have to play it over and over? ;, :.
 The guard is leading me back Hear the shouting court room crowds? <. What are they saying It doesn't matter There's Mary, beautiful and calm Her hands folded and placid :. Wasn't she worth it? .r

of ladies headed by Alice Gaines, Alice Gaines, who say that the sanctity of the home and the morals of our young are at stake unless Mary and I receive the death penalty . .
 The dealth penalty Lena had difficulty getting through that night. The bridge below the camp collapsed You probably read that the dam above when it broke washed down timber and debris burying Lena's coupe under hun dred ton of timber and sand.
 Somehow Lena saw the bridge folding and got out and ran . ran racing against elements and time leaving the coupe with it's begged wheels perched grotesquely on the crumbling timbers of the estuary.
 The dam followed shortly and Lena, screaming, fled just ahead of the swirling fingers of water |. The flood rose to the porch of our camp, if you remember? |. .. Mary and I heard the report of the dam as it broke. It was like a salute of a twenty inch gun that signals the trap to be sprung that breaks the neck of the condemned msn (why should I think of that?) Everything was SO un- real that followed ..
 Mary and I ran out to the wide veranda and saw the tilting tops of massive pines as they waved their last and frantically dove un- der, leaving their moiling roots as sickening evidence of their end.
 It was then that we saw her |. r4cving r slowly like soddened, half drowned animal was frozen in my tracks =.
 "Chuck!' Chuck" . Help me, Chuck" . heard her but I couldn't move. It wasn't right that she should be there. She wasn't there! And yet her voice per- sisted, Chuck! Please, dear, love you CRUCKr' Her voice rose to the scream of the wind.
 I felt a movement at my side and dark shadow swept ont to the edge of the veranda Mary. What was she doing? Then l saw and horror raised the hair on the nape of my neck.

Last week, my son and I were pleasantly surprised to find our favorite brand of gum once more on the druggists shelves. The druggist - knowing our tastes = pointed the gum out to us and re- marked that at last it was back from the wars! Then he went on to explain that gum was packed in every field ration for our service men to give them necessary li1t when the going was tough-it does provide relaxation and energy, you know.
 Did you know that when chewing gum was first introduced it was al l. most a failure? The gum became so stale and brittle that no one would buy it! This fact certainly surprised me, for nowadays just about everyone enjoys gum. But as the druggist and l talked my son unwrapped a stick and 1 knew the answer right then! The gum we buy today is wrapped in waxed paper - and, of course, the waxed paper keeps it fresh, sanitary and moist almost indefinitely and it can be shipped to people around the world.
 Our handy work and money saver - waxed paper - certainly has . lot of uses, doesn't it3 When gum manufacturers began wrapping sticks in waxed paper, it stayed fresh and moist, and rapidly be. came our most popular confection. cry. And so the success of chew. ing gum industry can be traced to waxed paper - an every day item that keeps so many of our foods fresh and sanitaryI

In February of this year, there were 33,81O,0O0 married women in the population. There were only 30, ,O90, ,488 married women in 1940 Percentage-wise, some 63.2 per cent of the ladies over IA years of age were married in 1946, against mere 59.8 per cent in 1940.
 That this was a major social movement is emphasized by the bureaus disclosure that the gam in marriage numbers in these six years was as much as in the 50- year period between 1890 and 1940.
 This result, the bureau declares, is in large part due to "a new sense of economic security result ing from employment and higher wages"

It's strange that such a small' thing could pierce our armor of happiness Reading my mail was a habit of which I could not break her. Lena possessed an obstinate curiosity that was insati-1 able It had amused me up to this point, but decided my ac- ton and was determined to hold to it despite all tendencies I might have of weakening ...
 I approached Bill Lane on the subject. You know Bill, he has the Rotogravure Section in the Sunday Herald At first my Idea amused him so much he threw back his head and roared with laughter, but later under sober judgement he strongly ad- vised me against such a move.
 "No, Chuck" he emphasized, T for one won't do it!" I could see he meant it, but Bill was my best friend, whom else could I trust?
 Not Art Gaines. I knew his wife Alice would be only too glad to cooperate, and would likely mean more than half of what she wrote You remember, went on weekend with Alice once? That was before I met and married Lena. Alice had announced her engagement to Art but put off her marriage for months trying to ar range a second weekend to say goodbye" .. It's funny, Art is always trying to tell me Alice is rigid
 Still what to do? 1 had never given Lena cause to be jealous since our marriage two years ago Why implicate myself now in network of lies?
 remembered meeting Mary Turn CT at Bill Lanes cocktail party that was thrown for the boys on his paper entering the Armed Forces, a week before, and had had the first twinge since Lena and I had hooked up. Mary was locker and had something on the ball |. . But that wasn't what I was thinking of now. was recalling quite clearly, Mary was an authors agent and confidential secretary personified Why not? I was really thinking of her services, not Mary, then!
 Later 1t was different And believe me, knowing 1t was all supposed to be play acting, we didn't spare the horses.
 Lena suffered, yes .. But wasn't cured It is terrible to come

dishonorably by knowledge one can use Each letter that came from Mary got gradually warmer and warmer, and was stuck down very carefully after Lena had digested it's contents thoroughly |. The last two letters from Mary, be- fore the storm broke, were rumpled by anguiShed fingers And tear stained Tear stained Little Lena who was always so sunny and full of laughter .. It's strange she forgot to laugh so easily and so well
 For Lena's laughing lips are sealed forever, and those little hands so busy at digging out trouble for her heart are folded peacefully now . Lena is dead And I am living ..
 And although am i. And Lena is not It had to be that way, even if 1t means Hells fire for me For when I have Mary close in my arms again can forget awhile and live in bliss that is more wonderful than anything that I have ever known And this, when only three months ago my whole world revolved about Lena with her sweetness, her gentle beauty and yielding love ,. What cons of time can separate us from one life and another =.
 Bill Lane doesn't speak to me now. Neither do Art and Alice, nor any of the old crowd. When ever I see them it is like a blur of their features, distorted with hate and horror, looking up at me from the depths of Crystal Lake.
 Bill Lane at the inquest spoke to me for the last time with empas- stoned fury: You ought to be hung! As God is my judge I'll see you dead for this. It's murder pure and simpler This was my pal, the chum I had grown up with speaking, and yet it didn't seem to touch me. Mary sat beside me and her cool fingers held mine in a sure grasp. Nothing else seemed nor was real!
 How did this come about? You remember my camp at Crystal Lake? It was there
 I always took week from busi- ness in April. Lena never went with me. It was my fishing orgy and separated from Lena's life. Mary came up the second day and then followed the worst rain in years.
 =. The Newspapers called Mary, 'The 1942 Streamlined Sadie Thompson" Of course there's no chance of a conviction The State hasn't a chance But all the tabloids are screaming for ret ribution, backed by committee

fl TEAMS 10 PLAY IN CITY
 CAGELEAGUE
FirstMeefing of Basketeers Last Night = Great
 Season Promised

Juneau's basketball league this year promises to be the biggest in the IS years of it's history. Last evening II team managers signed the roster at the High School meeting.
 A. B. Phillips, Superintendent of Schools, called the meeting to or der and gave a short explanation of the past history of the league and an explanation of the way in which it was managed.
 Juneau High School furnishes the gym, pays the officials, provides medical supplies and balls, makes out the schedule and does the ad- vertising. The high school makes any profit which may come in, but Phillips pointed out that there has generally been a loss on the league games except those games which the High School team plays.
 Teams which signed up, anc their managers, are as follows Douglas High School, Reed; Jul neau High School Avrit; Lions Club, Dilge; Veterans Administra- ton, Dapcevich; Imperial, Lazzet- ii; Mikes Night Owls, Russo; PAA Austin; Darnell's tentative name) Taylor; ACS, M-Sgt. Malcolm E Morrison; USCG Cutter Wachu- sets, Ems. R. R. Angel; and Moose DeLand
 With so many teams competing it will be necessary to play double headers two nights a week, said MT. Phillips, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings A practice schedule is being made out and will be released soon so that teams may start practice immediately Arrangements are being made with Douglas High School for the use of that gymnasium for practice sessions and for occasional games.
 League play is expected to start within three weeks
 At last nights meeting, an in- vitation was suggested for all in terested basketball players to con tact the managers of any team with which they may be interest ed in playing, because some of the managers have not signed ur a full roster of ten players. Nc team will be allowed more than ten so as to spread the talent over as many teams as possible. Once a man has signed to play with one team, it will be against the rules for him to withdraw and play with any other team during the year. Any games which are missed w;1 be considered a loss for the absent team. This ruling may be especially hard on the Coast Guard team, but in past years it has been found that, especially with full schedule, it is impossible to go back and re-play scheduled games.
 Phillips also made a request for all prospective referees to contact him. The rate of pay for these officials was not decided at last nights meeting, but it was stated that it will be higher than pre- vious years. Figures quoted from two years ago were S5 for one game, and S7.50 for a doubleheader

FOOTBALL
 POLL HAS
 } AT TOP
By BOB CRUDE

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The top trio among the countrys football powerhouses - Army, Notre Dame and Penn-today headed in that order into the last half of the race to decide the l946 National cham pionship
 And while it appeared more cer- tain than ever that the titanic clash of the Cadets and the Irish here a week from Saturday would all but decide, it also became evil dent that George Munger's Guak- CTS were going to have their say in the deciding.
 Army, salting away victory No. 24 with its l9-0 victory over Duke, had no trouble staying at the top in the Associated Press weekly poll of the nations sports writers, while Notre Dame enhanced its second-place standing with a 4l-6 romp over Iowa.
 With Texas and Tennessee dump ed from the ranks of the mbeaten and united, Penns 32-l9 verdict over Navy moved the Quakers from sixth place into third An other shift jumped the University Of California at Los Angeles, Paci- fife Coast pace-setters, from fifth to fourth.
 Penn, like Army and Notre Dame, has an easy week ahead, meeting Princeton while the Cadets ease off with West Virginia and the Irish meet Navy. And Columbia, Penns next opponent, should do nothing to mar the Quaker's unbeaten record going into their Nov. 16 clash with Army
 Of the TIP scribes casting bal lets in this fourth weekly poll, 104 put Army at the head of the list. Sixty more than last week favored Notre Dame as the No. l team. The other seven iirst- place ballots were split among Penn, with four, and UCLA, Georgia and Har- yard, with one apiece.
 Based on the usual system of ten points for a first-place vote, nine for second, eight for third, and so on, Army piled up staggering l,647 points, 138 more than last weeks count Notre Dame picked up 238 over last week for a 1878 total. Penn and UCLA were the two other teams to top the 1000 mark.
 Georgia, which trampled Furman TOT, skipped from seventh to fifth place and completed the select list Of the major unheaten and united among the first ten Harvard, sixth oi the majors with clean slate, ranks number IT in this weeks poll.
 After Georgia came Northwest ern, followed by Texas, Rice, North Carolina and Tennessee. Texas 1913 defeat at the hands of Rice and Tennessee's 1916 trouncing by Wake Forest still left the Long horns and the Vols among the first ten. Wake Forest, way down the list in 27th position last week, was advanced to 18th place with 10l As points on the basis of it's upset Of Tennessee.
 UCLA was the only Pacific coast team to rate ill the first 20 with Oregon ranking 21st on 32 points, Southern California, 26th, with IA points and St. Maly's 3Oth with '.
