YtSTERDAY: Just muHiig Httle man lumfd Perry Clark hat disturbed itvtral people wno art not rosily sftaken. -It frightened Ward Allan; it round instant dislike in Joyce Murdock. and l lad Delia Stewart mte Quarrel with Ward, when ha uxu the laet man ehe warned to dis agree lalth. Now Joyce haa gone home to find that Kent Murdock. her husband, hat met hie former tmfs Httlor again. And Hutor teas married for while to Clarke a wen. i Chapter Five. Go To SleepI' ENT MUROOCK heaved a sigh of relief and grinned. Not that he had done anything out of line, but it was sometimes hard to explain such things and ha hadn't known quite how Joyce would take it At first that la. With Hestor staying in town for two or three months, it was like ly that Joyce would have to meet her some time. Still "There's one other thing he said. "She's throwing a cocktail party tomorrow afternoon. "Oh?" "Dean Thorndike will be there hii outfit handles some of her investments, you know and that will mean Ward Allen and Delia probably, and some others. She wants to meet you. "And what did you tell her?" "I told her I didn't know." "But why. KcntT Of course we 11 go. I ra dying to see her. Murdock blinked and. unable to detect anything sourlous in this spontaneity, decided there was still a lot he didn't know about women. "Okay." he said. Tl call her In the morning. He watched her slip out of her negligee as he wound his watch, and saw that she wore one of his favorite nightgowns, a dark blue creation with wide shoulder straps and yards of skirt Briefly, with elbows up. she gave a final shake to ashblond hair that es caped straightness by the merest trace of a natural wave and had a two-tone effect where the sun had blea:hed it around the edges: then she kicked off her mules and looked over at him. slim and atralght and vital, with a lovely, rounded body and curves that were Arm and clean in line. He took note of all these things before he turned out the light be. cause it was inevitable that he make comparisons tonight. Just as it was inevitable that he think of Hestor as he lay there staring up through the darkness. His surprise at hearing her Toice was as nothing compared to his surprise at seeing her. It did not seem possible that she could be the same person he had once married. It had been an im pulsive step, that marriage, with Hestor right out of the chorus of a musical comedy road-show that had closed in town. Worried "IfENT." J6yre's voice startled him and he wondered how long he had been thinking and whether he should pretend he was asleep. "Yes." he said finally. "I'm worried about Delia and Ward." . , "Worried? Why?" "Delia told me Ward left Ca rafiia heratiw of some trouble. Hestor would know about it wouldn't she? And that man Clarke It you could have seen Ward's face when he looked up and saw him standing there. And afterwards it frightened me." Murdock grunted sleepily. "You're imagining things, aren't you?" "I hope so." That was all Joyce said for quite a while and he thought she had finished until she said: "It would be lust too awful if anything broke them up. They're so sweet together. Ward's a changed man since he met her. He was never really anything but a playboy until Delia came along Now. well, he's different He's working hard and he's mora L Washington, June 23. (.IP) The senate approved today leg islation which would permit merger of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. Senator McFarland (D.-Ariz.) said the measure authorizing the voluntary consolidation and merger of all domestic telegraph operations was "soundly in the public interest." The senator asserted that the Postal Telegraph company was "going In the hole" at the rate of $300,000 monthly while West ern Union suffered "great lossea In recent years." Civilian Apricot Pack Is Reduced Washington, June 23 (P The War Production board to day ordered an additional 10 percent reduction in the civilian pack of apricots In order to make the fruit available for lend-lease without allocating more tin plate to canners. The revision reduces the per mitted pack for civilian use this year from 75 percent to 6J per cent of the amount packed in 1940. The original cut was or dered on February 11. Largest single plant In the war production drive is the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Co., employing 27.000 men; the smallest la the Arm strong Manufacturing Co. plant at Portland, Ore., which employs If. human, t think he's a swell per son. Sure he is. Murdock said. 'And Delia. She's so gay and brave, wanting to get back to England, and worrying about ner father, and keeping busy nearly every day with the Red Cross and the Help The British Campaign business. And shes so in love with him If I thought " "Look." Murdock said In that tolerantly gruff manner that men use when they are still in love, "will you go to sleep?" "All right" Joyce said. "Good night, darling." "Good night" There was a long pause. "But luit the same " "Go to sleep!" "I'm going to worry a little until I'm sure." Joyce said, and then Murdock heard her turn over and knew that she was through. Party THE house that Hestor Losado had taken proved to be a stone and brick monstrosity that must have been an architectural hybrid even in 1910. There was a cupola and circular bays and a porte cochere, but the location was good and she had been able to rent it for a short period, fully staffed. "Um." Joyce said to Murdock. "The modern influence." "Classy is the word," Murdock said. . A mousy little man admitted them and took Murdock'., hat and coat while a maid helped Joyce with her things; then they moved down a sombre, age-darkened .hall, dodged a suit of armor and stopped in a broad doorway that gave onto a long, high-ceilinged room, beyond which was visible a glassed-in addition, apparently a combination sun-room, conser vatory, and mujic room. The hum of conversation and hubbub of voices which met them at the doorway came from per haps twenty people, who stood in little clusters, talking, smoking, gesturing with glasses in their hands. Deciding in her first glance that she recognized about half of them, Joyce found Ward Allen standing a short distance away, chatting with a blond woman whose Sack was tumed Ljt whose figure was sleek and streamlined. Allen smiled and raised a hand. The woman glanced over her shoulder; then qui:kly turned and came towards them. Joyce knew this was Hestor Losado and in that first moment caught her breath, for .his was not the woman she had pictured in her imagination, nor the one whom Kent had described; this woman was an instant utter knockout and Joyce could only stare at her as she offered her hand. "I'm so glad you rame," Hestor said. She had a low, throaty voice with an intimate quality end just the right inflection. "I hoped you wouldT I've been practically con sumed with curiosity." "I was curious too." Joyce said. "Of course you were. And I might have known he would pick out someone like you." She smiled up at Murdock. "You're f r luck ier than I had imaained vou'd be." About thirty. Joyce thouaht and on the surface, flawlessly turned out. Neither tall nor ahort she had a magnificent figure set off by a black crepe tea-gown that was long and straight-hanging from the hips and topped by a brief Jacket A natural golden-yellow, her hair-do was the work of a master: so was her make-up. The oval face was smooth and unlinpd and there was a polished precision in every move, every gesture. She found the light blue eyes upon her and smiled back. "Shall we go meet some peo ple?" 'iestor askpd. Then taking Murdock'a arm: "You won't mind if I monopolize him for a little while? There's so much I'd like to know about you both." Presently Joyce found herself with a Scotch and snda in her hand and Ward Allen at hot elbow. I Te be contlnard Midway Eyewitness Wendell P. Webb.

Washington, June 23 (IP) Secretary of the Treasury Mor genthau announced today that a $10,000,000 cache of securities and cash owned by Henry M. Blackmcr, who fled the country at the time of the Teapot Dome scandal 20 years ago, had been uncovered in a war-time exam ination of foreign bank ac counts.

TO QUIT Honolulu, June 23 OP) Warning that the United States victory over the Japanese In the battle of Midway "has given many people a false sense of se curity," Lieut. General Delos C. Emmons today urged all non residents to leave the Hawaiian islands as soon as possible. Although American air and naval forces early this month routed the largest fleet Japan ever sent across the internation al dateline in what may have been an attempted invasion of the United States west coast, it is dangerous to assume the enemy will -not return, said Gen eral Emmons, commander of the Hawaiian- department, U, S. army.
