Chapter Three
Turk Wonders
U'HAT is on your mind?" Mi
chael asked his wife.
Tuck thrust her arm through
his. "Come on over and sit down,"
she commanded, leading him back
to the step and dropping down be
side him. She put her elbow on her
knee and was in the act of propping
her chin on her hand again when
Michael took possession of both
hands and held them firmly.
"Look me In the eye," he said,
when she struggled, and answer
the following questions, first, who
Is she? And second, third, fourth
and fifth, what's on your mind?"
Tuck sighed again, and not being
ible to use her hands, pushed her
hair behind her ear with the point
of Michael's shoulder. "Well, she
said, "I guess it really Isn't much,
was just thinking."
"Suffering peanutsT
Tuck laughed suddenly and set
tled herself more comfortably.
"After all," she capitulated, "it
V- . j.'OA.W ft
TttrA something on
may not be much. It may be mostly
imagination."
Michael waited.
"She is Miss Lissey, Miss Alix
Lissey," she informed him.
Michael groaned. "Have we got
to live next door to her?"
"Do you know her?"
"I took Latin from her ten years
go. It nearly killed mc."
"I can see how it might," Tuck
laid grimly.
"Do you know her, Tuck?"
"I've been looking at her house
for a week. It looks like an old
maid's dream. It's as prim as a
prune box and the Inside is stuffed
lull of painted cushions and batik
curtains and arty furniture."
"You've been inside?"
"No. She's had everything out
lido. House-cleaning."
"I still don't see, from your de
scription of her house, how you
know anything about her."
"Well . . , well, look at her gar
den. She's old enough to have it
full of mignonette and lavender
and phlox and sweet-william and
things like that. But it isn't. It's all
modernistic with bright colors and
hard lines. Her houso is like that
loo. I can't explain . . . but if she
were the kind of nice quiet person
who had another kind of garden,
end big shabby armchairs and
comfortable furniture, and wore
clothes to suit her, I'd like her.
That kind of modernistic experi
menting is all right for young peo
ple who don't know what they're
going to be, but when a woman
gets to fifty she ought to settle
down instead of being unhappy
and dissatisfied with what she's got
and trying to pretend she's young."
'A Heagling Look'
MICHAEL hunched up his shoul
ders and shivered. "Thank
Heaven I'm not a woman," he said
fervently.
"Michael, I'm not being mean. I
wouldn't tell anybody else what I
thought about her. I suppose, real
ly. I'm a little bit sorry for her. She
won't let herself be happy. She
f:oes around with ... beagling
nok all the time hunting for some
thing that went past years and
years ago."
"And you know all that just bv
Washington, Nov. 13. (API
New antitrust Indictments In
volving Cleveland labor union
ists brought a statement from
Assistant Attorney General Thur
man Arnold today that the Jus
tice department's investigation
of the building industry was not
directed ngnlnst labor.
"Legitimate labor activity nl
ways has been respected," said
Arnold, head of the depart
ment's nrtti-trust division.
"There has not been any
against labor unions as such, but
only In cases where unions or
their officers have been used to
create a scarcity or sonic other
restraint on commerce.
"Certainly there has been no
urtion because of a union's ef
forts to get better wages, hours
or working coudiUous."
Shelley Wees-
looking at her house and garden?"
"Well," Tuck said frankly, "not
quite. She called on me today."
"A-ha! At last! Is this your guilty
secret?"
"Of course not. It isn't any secret,
dumb-bell. She should have called
on me today. We've been here ex
actly a week, and the curtains were
all up yesterday."
"Well, now that you've answered
question number one," Michael
suggested, "what about the other
four? What's on your mind? Miss
Lissey's future? Or did she say
something to you that started all
this fit of thinking?"
"Yes. She did. I don't think she
intended to or maybe she did
but anyway, I've been puzzling
about it ever since. It sounds so
crazy I wasn't going to tell you.
But . . ." She faced him, her brown
eyes very serious. "Michael, is your
father ... Do you know what cases
he's working on just now?"
Michael raised his eyebrows. He
lit a cigarette with extreme care
before he answered her. "Not ex
actly, no," he said. "I haven't seen
him for a week or so. Why?"
'Glimmerings'
"VUELL . . ." She rescued her
' V hand and traced the veins on
the back of it very carefully. "Well
. . , I just wondered. You know, he
simply never docs anything with
out a reason. I just got to wonder
ing how he heard about this house
in the first place, and whnt made
him think of us, and why he paid

the rent on It before we said we
wanted it, and and everything."
Michael put his head on one side
and looked at her, his gray eyes
narrowed. "I see," he snid. "Thai
is, I begin to got glimmerings. You
doubt my eminent parent's inten
tions? That is, you wonder if, per
haps, his feelings as the District
Attorney have somehow colored
his natural decisions as a father?
In other words, if he has something
up his sleeve? Is that it?"
"That's it. I don't see why I think
so, but I do. It's a lovely house. The
loveliest house I ever saw. I'd
rather live out here behind the
campus than anywhere in the
world, I think with the woods so
close right at our back door and
such a marvelous garden, and ev
erything so peaceful and lovely.
But I happen to know that these
houses belong to the University
and one of the things Miss Lissey
said today was that it was the first
time she's ever known one of these
houses to be rentod to anyone not
a faculty member. And this is the
nicest house of all."
"Did you suggest that possibly
the fact that most of the campus
houses are empty for the vacation
had something to do with our get
ting it?"
"Yes. and she says she's been
here fifteen years and they've been
empty every vacation and it's
never been done before. And she
asked me right out ri.nht out. Mi
chael, if you weren't Michael For
rester that was the District Attor
ney's son. And when I said 'yes,
she tightened her lips and straight
ened her pince-nez, and pulled her
red hat down hard on one side and
got up to go."
"Meaning what?"
"1 don't know. But she didn't
like it at all. She didn't like it when
she asked me what your occupation
was and I told her you were a law
yer. She doesn't want us to be here,
and she's going to make it as un
pleasant as she can. Why. her silly
old cat even fights with Agamem
non! As if it were any use! Aga
memnon can lick it cold in one
round."

HITLER WAS BLIND
Gassed during a World War skirmish with British forces in October, 1918, German Cor
poral Adolf Hitler lay in Pasowak hospital, Pomerania. On November 7 he called a doctor!
he was blind. He blamed it on gas, but doctors told him his blindness was due to his own
hysteria, a result of his hatred for those he believed responsible for Germany's collapse.
November It the Armistice was signed. As he lay blind. Hitler admitted later, eyes and
brain burning in darkness, he conceived the entire fantastic scheme that led to his control
of Germany, Austria. Czechoslovakia, Danzig and Poland, By November 12 his sight had re
turned and he was released to put his dream into practice.
