Franclaco, Loa Angelei, SeaHle, Portland. Chicago Detroit, New Tor , CAMPAIGN FODDER Striking vigorously at his critics, mentioning talk ot what ho termed "plausible self-seekers and theoretical die-hards and outlining points of his program either under way or con templated, President Roosevelt, in his radio address of last Thursday evening gave, vent to much unmistakable cam paign fodder for the present administration's ambitions of continuance in its present power. ,.,.,.... The president spoke strongly and with n deal of certainty for the success of his program. And in that, line it prob ably well that he should, with the hiillioiis who undoubtedly hung on his words at radio receivers throughout the nation and the millions more who read his talk or major portions of it in the country's newspapers. "Jlope springs eternal iH the human1, breast" and it is with, a great hope in the prbw ess of their leader at the White House that the people of oui' nation must continue to lean toward expected fulfillments of, a better day. ; ., ,;, .. Whether such a talk this early should have smacked so' strongly of evident campaign material that could and prob-; ably did shatter among many of his close listeners a deal of its effectiveness, is a question fdr argument dependirig upon which side of the fence one is on. ,The chief matter of con-; cjern of the administration at this particular time had. nat urally much to do with the general trend of the president's ljemarks. The administration is anxious for returri in this toll's elections of as great a percentage of administration candidates to the halls of congress as possible to obtain. Gen eral criticism! Hub been growing and support in some sections Commencing to get a bit wobbly. A cqtisidernble jiiirt of the dampaigns of certain worthies who desire, to get back to Washington next year will be well along the way before RooSevelt returns from his sojourn in Hawaii and the Pacific; M was probably deemed timely that there be now giveji hearty Commendation of the past congress, despite, some slips over the traces which must have been hard not to recognize; in drde'i' that tlici folks bitck homo might be constrained to again fo)lov pi'pdigious fingers that, cotild the niore gracefully "point with pride" to accomplisliiiieiits, i; Like Ovcryono else, we.bavc hopes our president succeeds In his program with-A great big "8.','. Wo wnnt our business, our community nnd our na tion ta ride ovor .conditions of adversity into a new happiness and peacc fuLcontent that will favor, us all as wo put forth Individual efforts to, bring' It about. Our president has a tremendous program looking toward that dnd and wo appreciate that the wholehearted support of every Individual possible Is noccssary to bring any public programs, to successful conclusion. Wo hold M what Is still tho fortunate right, however, of any and every American citizen 'to agree or dlsagrcd lii his owh mind as to what hc-.con-elders right or wrong and to speak fairly and with full patriotism as he fcols. These a ro different and now times times when It Is possibly well to discard some of tho old schemes of things that maybo haven't worked so well or perhaps worked themselves out entirely. It-la, however, art American trait; Individually or colloctlvoly. In business or -government to sometimes "run hog wild," particularly when tho "running" Is good. Wo do not want to rush in to n wholesale destruction of all basic principles Upon which tho general woll- being and continued progress of bur cbllhtry over so many decades has been built. Tho president gave his description of many rcformB that he has In mind nnd mariy-of which have already taken place. Now laws, new Instruments supposed to bring about tho Improved welfare of man have been Initiated. That bur leader Is sincere thorb Is Utile doubt. That Improvement have been accomplished and help accorded la 'evident, ho says, ujxm all sides. Statistics which hb says ho could have recited at length concerning meas ures of national progress will bo believed according to whero and whom have benefited. . . When tho president asked several straight questions for each Individual to consider; his own happiness, Indebtedness, working condition and bank account lis compared to a year iigo, ho tooK Indeed a bold chance of et amplo for comparison. He has hlgil confldoncb In his and the administra tion's ability. For there are still millions tho country over who havo cither felt or received ho material benefits. - He spoke of the high cost of his recovery prrigrams--.tho billions that havo been expended m attempt to get wheels turning mid men at honest labor. Ho did not go Into aiiy detail a to how these oXrlmonts. suecss lul as we all trust they may be, are to bo paid for. As theso millions and 1)111 ions roll and total Up thcro must go along with them some realization that all must be paid. The debt can become bo great that even a return to our rosiest prosperity will never meet tho bill. We cannot help but wish that our president In his radio talk to his people hait not given some comment concerning (IlKjKisal of tills growing burden that has already gone beyond us Into our futuro generations. Per haps bo couldn't, but an attempt at least would probably havo appealed more than tho timo spent on campaign lodder. The Weather j ... ', WKATHKB r'OHKCAST i..

' ., Chapter 16 '' INQUISITION FEW minutes Inler Mrs. Du ' froBno's alslor arrived, with her husband, nichnrd Crdydcn. One had only to glance at Aline Croyden to focbgnlje her ns tho slater of Sylvia Dufresne. Her ha.'r approached ah auburn shado rather than the golden blonde coloring of her sister. ' Her features, too. though ot the snrae distinctive beauty, had Icbs ot .tho fragile and ethereal quality. Ilcr natural manner was more vigorous and forthright, though not lacking cither In poise or graclousnoss. ' Mrs. Croydon oxcused herself at the llrst opportunity to go upstulrs pi.d see It slio could be of any ser vice. Harper continued to talk with Richard Croyden. He found this brotheMp.-lnw ot Pierre Dufresne a norvoui, Impulsive personality, but with an alert, Incisive turn ot mind. u; Hp questioned, the detective close ly along llncB which showed that he had a koen grosp of the essentials of the mystery and a bondot mutual liking and respect sprung, up be tween him and the Sergeant ot Do- toctlveB at their llrst contact; '' it was not untll laler that the de tective found out that Croyden was the (unions concert pianist. " ' Croyden was. not the only on$ wild exhibited a strong Interest In tliol strange mystery ol lliej breakfast room. Tho chauffeur; Udnoghy, lis tened Intently ttnd said nothing. And Hurper was surprised to glance up wdrd and UnU !.'. Ulrica standing neat- the bead ot the stalrB. absorbed In the conversations below. He caught the detective's. look and slow ly backed nwdy. with a Sardonic gleam or tho eye; When Mrs. Croyden returned from upstairs, flarpsr mustered them all tntd the break fast-room. They formed Into two natural groups, (nc- luj; the body In the chair. In one -group wero Pierre Dufresne, and Mr. and Mrs. Croyden. In the oilier were the two Whltmoros. Andrews, and Doiiaghy. Tho dotoctlve gave a brle("suiri-' hinry oi the s'tuattorl, to wlli they listened In absolute silence, tie dem onstrated how the features ud been altered by the disguise. .... "Have any ot you ever seen this man before?" . Pierre Dufresne looked on in stony silence. "Ilnvo you, Mrs. Croyden 7" , "i am sure t hnvo not," sho an swercd In a very small voice. "Mr. CroydenY" "No, Sergeant. Sorry 1 can't help you.". "Whilmore?" Tho blnck-browcd Mrs. Whltmoro spoke up beforo her slow minded spouse could pull his wlls together "No, wo'vo never seen him," she an swered, sharply. "Perhaps your husband would protor to answer for himself," llnrpor suggested, annoyed by her air. , "Woll, 1 ought to know. We've been married twontysome years, and It 1 didn't see htm. John didn't see him," she shot back; her black eyes snapping. "Thai's right, 1 don't know him," the slow-voiced John Whllmoro rcj plied, with it sheepish look. "Andrews?" The tight-lipped butler looked moro glum than ocr as ho silently shook his head. "Donaghy?" 'pillC hnndsomo chauffeur had been i tho most Interested member ot tho group, lie looked long and care fully at the unldcnllllcd victim. "It seems to me I have seen this man somewhere before." he stated, slowly. His deliberate words had the et feet ot a bombshell In that room Harper caught the sudden tense ness, the sharp hiss ot somi ono's breath, a catch that Just missed be ing a gasp. Ills eye swept the group. Andrews' look was positively veno mous. The detective scented some thing In the wind. "Thlnj hard, Dunnghy. This Is most Important." Joseph Donoghy beld his pause to the limit, then ht smiled end shook his head. "Kor a moment t thong hi 1 had It somethliia about the face. I'll try to remember. Sergeant. May be It will come back to me," That was what Donaghy's words brought to Harper'B ear, but It was as It Donaghy's real voice had been saying, ''1 know this man. That knowledge Is dangerous to ono of you. Will It be made worlb while tor me to forget?" And more than one pair of ears was aware of the Importance of both messages I The following day, Wednesday, January 11th, dawned clear and cold. The heavy tall of snow had tapered oft about midnight and there had been very little wind to disturb It afterward. Harper, arriving tor duty at Du fresne's bouse shortly after eight o'clock, noted with satisfaction tho undisturbed condition of the white blanket surrounding the bouse. A caprice ot Nature had contrived this smooth carpet lo record a portion ot the previous night's fantastlo story and the dctectlvo proposed to make good use ot It. Harper found Mrs. Itlchard Croy den In the hall; deep In consultation with the black-browed housekeeper, Mrs. Martha, Wbltmdre. Despite the Idle hour at which she bad retired, Aline Croyden was serene and clear eyed, and without a trace of fatigue. She wore a tailored morning drsss and its sheer simplicity of line en hanced her air ot youthful Charm. ' "Good morning, Mrs. Croyden," Harper greeted her, and nodded pleasantly to the housekeeper. , Mrs. Whltmore returned a grudg ing nod nnd retrea ted to her domain In the rear of the house. "Good morn ing, Mr. Harper;" Aline responded, wlih a co'rdl.il sit.llo. "Or should 1' say 'Sergeant' Harper?" The detective smiled with her1. "Not unless ypu prefer it. There Is 4 theory that the Dost"way'"to dddYbsB a Sergeant ot Police is lo cn.lt htm Captain,' ", he br.nlerod, meeting her.pleQsant mood, . .... . "That's a clever Idea. 1 shall call you Mr; Harper and reserve the 'Captain' lu case 1 should need It later." she said, teaslngly. "Ydu lulow, 1 have been quite surprised at your a38l.ili.nls. 1 had the Idea Hint detectives word heavy-set men with clipped muiHtric'hcs; that they al ways chewed on unllghled cigars and wore derby hdts which tlioy never removed, except possibly lb sleep. Or do detectives ever sleep?" "Somlltues Tor weeks at a stretch Harper assured her with mock so lemuliy; "hut when a big case comes along wo have lo get our sleep when, and If, wi can llnd It." MltS. CltOYDUN dropped her ton ot light raillery "Mill Ian, keep ing you from your wmk. I fear tho others will not be duwti for sonio lime yet. It was so Idle when we re tired. My slsier asked me to take charge of tho household arrange ments until sue Is able to be around again." "She asked you?" Harper caught her up quickly. "Dr. Ulrlch told me that Mis. Dufresne was not to talk for several days," , Aline nodded. . "Of. course; Mr. Harper. 1 used 'talk' in a llguratlvo sense. My sister has already ar ranged a Bysleru ot communication; Whenever she has a question or a message she writes It down on a pad. t woiks out qulio enslly." "My the way. how Is Mrs. Dufresne this morning?" 'Poor girl, she's naturally grontly worried over tho possibility of n scar, nnd then theso tragic bappen- lugs are keeping her on edgo." Sergeant Harper and Mrs. Croy den entered the breakfast-room. Al though the victims had long since bocn removed, the room retained a tragic nnd depressing aura that not even the bright morning light could dlsslpale. There wero those dark stains on the rug. for Instance, and the un known dead nan's clolhlng plied on a chair, comploto from the shoes to tho berlbboned nose-glasses. Hut the most characteristic seal ot the po llco visitation were the numerous patches ot dusting powders that had been Bprayed here and thcro In tho senrch tor ling erprlnls. "You certainly leave nothing to chance," Mrs, Croyden observed. "This morning I saw there was a po liceman guarding Mr. Dutresne's room. Isn't that a rather unusual procedure, Mr. Harper? Surely, Inst night's events put an end to the dan ger?" The detective shook his head. "This Is an unusual case, Mrs. Croy den. We do not actually Unow thai the man found In this room Is the man who threatened Mr. Dufresne and attempted to kill him." "Hut surely you have a theory? I thought the matter was quite clear." fCopvrtoat. I5, ov IVehtr C. Brown J Tomorrow, Harptr plungts Into tha maift.
