Delia's eyes widened slightly
nd her lips parted. That, in that
first instant, was ner only our
ward reaction.
"But I lust left him, little
while ago "
Then the true enormity of the
situation struck home: her reac
tion was a visible, frightening
thing.
"No!" she cried and started to
rise, all color fading from her
face. Joyce yanked at her hand
and shook her as roughly as she
could.
"Delia! Listen!"
The cirl's voice came in
frightened whisper. "It couldn't

. "Of course It couldn't," Joyce
said. "But I had to tell you. We
all may have to be questioned to
morrow. It's pretty awful, I know,
but " She rose and put her hand
on Delia's shoulder. "You stay
right there.
The girl huddled there, her face
rigid and chalky, "It couldn't be
Ward, she said again.
"I know, darling," Joyce said
and hurried into the dining room,
aware that the words she uttered
had no basis in fact.
She poured brandy into a glass
nd went into the kitchen io add
a little water. There was no es
caping the overwhelming weight
of circumstances but she tried to
present a front of confidence and
assurance.
"Drink this," she said.
Delia shook her head.
I "I don't want It"
"A little, anyway," Joyce said.
"Come, now.
Delia took I swallow, the tears
welling in her eyes.
"I know he was there," she
said. "But he didn't do it He
rouldn't kill anyone, Joyce. Not
Ward."
"You're going to make yourself
tick," Joyce said, deciding blunt
ness might be more effective than
sympathy, "and that's silly. Just
because you saw his car doesn't
mean he shot Perry Clarke. Go
on, now, drink some more of that
And then we've got to decide
what to do. The police are bound
to question you. And you've got
to have a story you can stick to;
otherwise you'll get confused and
say something you shouldn't"

DELIA put down the empty
glass. Color was coming back
in her face. "Yes, I know," she
said. "I'm sorry I was such
goose but "
She broke off, her eyes tortured
but a gradual firmness coming

"AH right, she said. I guess

"Let's see." Joyce went to work
re-assemoiing ner facts, No one

Then no one knows that you
were there, do they? I'll keep the

Perry Clarke is dead. Probably
you were the only one to notice

"It doesn't found la bad, does

"Of course it doesn't What tune

"After nine, I'm sure."

I "Promise." Delia said. She re
arranged her hat and stood up.
I In the entryway she put her
hands on Joyces arms. "What
ho.. KW? Vo,i won't tell him?
About me or Ward. I mean?"
The question left Joyce at a
momentary lose, because she bad
not thought about her nusband.
Now her eyes grew thoughtful
Kent had had a lot of experience
in such matters. If Delia's part in
the affair could be handled as
simply as she hoped there would
be no need to confide in him until
things were settled. But if there
was trouble, if there were other
complications, he would know
what to do. Her first impulse was
to tell him the truth, just as she
always turned to him when she
needed help and understanding.
put her arms around the
girl and hugged her gently. "All
right" she said, talking past the
thickness in her throat ''It'll be
our secret"
Much Later
IT WAS nearly two o'clock when
Kent Murdock let himself into
the apartment and the amount of
light coming from the living room
told him Joyce was waiting for
him.
"Hi," he called, hanging up his
hat and coat in the en try way
closet.
"Hello," a drowsy voice came
back to him.
Joyce was on the divan in her
dressing room, head and shoul
ders propped up by pillows. She
had wrapped a blanket around
her knees, and held a book face
down across her stomach. He
went over and kissed her.
"I told you not to wait up."
"You knew I couldn't sleep af
ter what you told me over the
phone."
"I was afraid you wouldn't I
almost didn't tell you."
"Well. I'm glad you did." Joyce
said. "Now I ve got to have the
rest of it"
"I was afraid of that too."
Murdock stretched. "I'm tired,"
he said, "and thirsty. Is there any
beer?"
"I think so." Joyce started to
rise.
"I'll get It."
"No. I'll set it Tm tired of sit.
ting here."
She threw aside the blanket
and stood up, hitching the dress
ing gown over her bins and tight
ening the belt. He went over to
the mantel and filled his pipe, and
by the time he had it drawing
well she was back with a tray.
For him there was the glass of
beer and a plate of crackers and
cheese; for herself she had a glass
of milk and a cookie.
I don t know what rd do with
out you," he said, grinning.
Murdock laid aside his pipe
and drank deeply. His dark hair
was lousiea now and although the
stamp of weariness was upon his
angular face, there was no slop
piness about him and his quiet
tweeds hung neatly.
'That hit the spot" he said fi
nally. "ITow what do you want to
know?"
"Everything."
And he tola her,
"Do the police suspect any
one?" she asked when he had fin
ished. "Not yet they don't"
"No ideas?"
"I don't know about that but
it's a cinch they'll be doins soma

Joyce said she didn't Later, In

sleepily.
"I've alwavs nlctured her a. a

Volunteer Farm Help
Doing All Right But
Main Test Is Ahead
By Rennie Taylor
San Trancisco, July 1. (Wide World) This is a preliminary
report on the manpower value of the city people and school chil
dren who went into the fields and orchards to do stoop labor and
help save the food for victory crops.
They are doing all right so far, say the agricultural labor
authorities, but not as well as experienced hands. However, the
supreme test is yet to come,
Farm labor specialists in gen
eral have been skeptical about
the worth of inexperienced vol
unteers, especially those re
cruited from cities, they said
their callouses were in the
wrong places.
But the urban armies now
have a string of initial victories
to their credit.
Sugar Beet Crop
Saved For Idaho
They supplied the extra licks
necessary to save the sugar beet
crops of southwestern Idaho at
a critical stage.
About 15,000 workers, 75 per
cent of them volunteers, are
keeping the strawberries picked
in Oregon's Willamette valley.
Another 1,000 are working
alongside 6,000 regular hands to
harvest the Washington-Oregon
pea crop, which represents about
one-sixth of the nation's can
ning peas.
Still another 600 city people
from eastern Oregon towns
thinned enough sugar beets in
the big fields of Malheur county
to prevent damage until Jap
anese from evacuation centers
could be brought to the rescue.
School children workers have
drawn praise from' experts in all
three Pacific coast states. In
some cases the youngsters have
been rated better workers than
their elders.
Average City Hand
Two-Thirds Valua
L. C. Stoll, Oregon state em
ployment service director, now
figures the average city volun
teer is worth about two-thirds
of a regular hand. Before he
saw them in action he guessed
they would be worth only one
third of an experienced worker.
Stoll reported boys 14 to 16
years old were making an aver
age of $3.25 a day in the berry
fields and $4.50 a day picking
cherries. Women earn slightly
more than that, he said.
High school boys and girls, re
ported J. B. Newport, Idaho
commissioner o f agriculture,
were able to block and thin
more beets than the average city
grownup.
"At the beginning of the sea
son," he added, "the work of
the youngsters was not up to
the standard of the men folks
from the towns. This was over
come largely by placing them In
groups of seven or eight with a
man or a sponsor who staved
and worked with them through
out the day."
Boys and Girls
Rata Big Cheer
The boys and girls got a rous
ing cheer from James C. Grant
of the U. S. employment service
in Washington state, who said.:
"Their help in the strawberry
harvest was very, very good.
They have done a grand Job of
it. Older, inexperienced work
ers also have acquitted them
selves well but they need some
training.
Another boost for the young
sters came from Frank L.
Buckner, U. S. employment serv
ice representative in California.
who said:

vising.
Newport believes the achieve
ment of the volunteers in Idaho
was greater from the standpoint
of morale than from the amount
of work actually done.
There state employes and busi
ness men left their regular Jobs
and went into the fields during
mornings to help meet a sudden
emergency. Many of them were
past middle age and unaccus
tomed to back-breaking labor.

BAKERS' SESSION
ON WAR EFFORTS
The annual general managers'
conference of the bakery indus
try, attended by Wm. H. Fluhrer
of Fluhrer Bakeries, Medford.
concluded its sessions this week
in Chicago by unanimously
adopting a resolution pledging
full support to the government's
wartime needs for general nu
tritional improvements.
The enrichment of bread, at
considerable cost to large bak
eries, has added needed vitamins
and iron to the diet of major
segments of the American popu
lation, at no increase in bread
prices, it was pointed out. Other
demands in connection with
feeding of army personnel and
defense workers are also plac
ing heavy responsibilities on
bakers in all sections of the
country but it was the consensus
of managers represented at the
