PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1942. Chapter 19 Start Of A Plan TACK FENNER was waiting at one end. of the lobby, and came forward to meet them, a slender, trim-figured man with a look of ainewy toughness about him that his loose-fitting balmacaan could not hide. His hair was gray-black and smoothly combed, his mouth was thin and even and his agate eyes slanted a little in Tatar fash ion so that his glance assumed a perpetually narrowed expression. There was a lot of tight-muscled energy in the set of his neck and shoulders, the light, sure-footed way he carried him self suggested that he could move swiftly and expertly whenever the occasion demanded. Joyce Introduced him. He smiled and gave Delia a quick. absoroing glance. "Care for a drink?" "why I don't believe so, thanks. "Well" Fenner turned his hat in his hand and grinned "would rou mind sitting with me, then? don't listen so well on an empty iiomacn. Delia looked at her companion, but Joyce merely smiled and nodded. "All right," she said. "We don't mind. Shall we go in the merry go-rouna : They walked down the long corridor and turned into the cafe. Fenner refused to give u his hat and coat, and when they had found a table for four, he tossed them across the odd chair. "Three Scotches," he told the waiter. "Not for me," Delia said. "Let him bring them," Fenner said. 'They won t go to waste. They lit cigarettes while they waited, and when they had been served, Fenner drank briefly, aaid: "Ah!" and crossed his hands on the table, giving his attention to Joyce but keeping Delia relative focus so that -when he wanted to look at her he had to .move only his eyes. "What's the story?" "We want you to work for us,' Joyce said bluntly. A faint smile touched his lips ana someining Happened to his eyes. They did not move, nor did the lids, but there was something bright and steady in their depths that had not been there before. "Kent know?" he said. No." "Shouldn't he?" "Not this time." "What's my story when he comes around to see me some day and says what's the idea of work ing for my wife behind my back? Kent's a pretty good friend of mine." "1 know," Joyce said. "You won't be working for me, really, but for Miss Stewart." "Does he know Miss Stewart?" Fenner asked, not looking at her "Of course." "He's a pretty good detective mmseir "This Is personal. Miss Stewart would rather have an outsider." "That right. Miss Stewart?" Delia moistened her lips, hesi tated, said: "Yes." The Story TENNER summoned the waiter and ordered another Scotch. Without realizing it. Joyce had already sipped some of her drink, but Delia had not touched hers; now she pushed It towards the detective. I don t want It, really.' Fenner smiled and took the f glass, then noticed that the waiter seemed undecided about accept ing the order. "Scotch." Fenner said. "Who's going to tell me?" he added, when tha waiter went away, "I will," Joyce said and men tally edited her account as she went along. "Miss Stewart is en- Berlin Feels v - safe nr-m m v (j 1:V k ib&f 1100 n ,'. .M J i,1 ' This picture, appearing in recent Issue of "Yank", Army newspaper for enlisted men overseas, is described as showing a bomb-wreck 1 buildirj on M?in.ke Str.Mia. next to Berlins Anti-Air Raid Division No. 1.

"I saw the account but I don't know the details." Fenner said, and his eyes were sleepy-looking as he put down his glass. "I don't Imagine the details are important," Joyce said. "What is important is that Perry Clarke had an elevelope that contained some clippings about Ward Allen about some trouble he once had. the sort of thing he wouldn't want to get around." "And Clarke was blackmailing him." "I don't know that it had ion that far, but" Joyce glanced at Delia and knew there was some thing else she should say. 'Before I tell you the rest of it there's something I've got to ask Miss Stewart didn't want to Mm to you, but I knew we needed help and advice. I told her about you; 1 said 1 was sure you wouldn't talk to the police." "I couldn't promise," Fenner said. "But the only way the police can make me talk is to involve me in the murder and put me on the stand." "If it came to that," Joyce said, "what you might have to say wouldn't matter anvwav. . . . You see. Delia? But to get back. Miss Stewart knew there was some thing that Ward Allen wanted and she did something silly. She went to see iiarne at nis apart ment last night." Fenner Has A Bunch JOYCE paused here to ..lake sure she did not explain too much, aware that Fenner was taking in every word, every Inflection. wmie Clarke was out of the room making a drink, she found the envelope. He didn't discover this and she came away, and not until this morning did she know that Clarke had been murdered. Tonight a man came to her and demanded the envelope." wnai man: "She doesn't know." Fenner's dance slid to Delia and something in it compelled her io speaic I never saw him before Hp said he thought I had the en velope and unless I gave it to him he'd see that the police found out I'd been to Perry Clarke's apart ment lust before ha was mur. "Any idea how he knew about you?" "None." Delia said. "Unless he had been watching the apart ment " What'd you tell him?" 'I told him I didn't know any thing about it" "So?" "So ne said he'd give me until tomorrow noon." Fenner finished Delia's drink and started it on the fresh one. He lit a cigarette, absently for getting to pass them around and said nothing until he had in- naied. "If you tell him it's no dice he tips off the cops about you. huh? And if you play along your boy friend may ba in a jam, is that it?" "Yes." Delia said. Fenner's evea swlveled to Joyce. "You must have had some sort of an idea when you tele phoned me?" "Not an Idea." Jovce said. "I Just figured that Delia will have to give him the envelope. So I thought perhaps when the man telephoned she could make a date and perhaps you . . ." She paused and Fenner smiled ner J wa I"1?." ,nd genuine, that smile, and it changed his whole face. There was a note of respect in his voice when he an swered. "Maybe you came to the right guy after all," he said. "It's as good a hunch as any I'd get, and it might work." Ta be eon tinned Bomb Sting ' " ' ft l sN On the Radio Chains STATIONS!

No, 597, concerning the harvesting of seed of vetches, winter peas, crimson clover and rye grass has been received at this office. This publication covers prac tices with pictures of practical methods of harvesting the above named legumes and grasses. As farmers in this county are just about to harvest the vetch crop, we think that it would be an advantage to growers to ob tain a copy of this bulletin. We expect to have a supply by the first of next week. American Farmers Doing Gigantic Job The magnitude of the food production job undertaken by American farmers, Including those in Oregon, is not fully ap preciated because it is not con centrated in one plant, but is rolling off an "assmbly line" of six million farm units through out tne country. Every time a cargo ship sails for Ireland with food for Ameri can soldiers and their allies, it carries the average annual pro duction of 3.800 American farms, these ships are loaded with products that might have come from Oregon farms dried eggs, dried and evaporated milk, cheese, canned and cured pork, lard and canned and dried vege tables. To keep these vital supplies moving to wherever they are needed all over the globe, farm ers in this state and throughout the nation are mobilized behind production goals that are so large they are difficult to grasp. Breaking down food-for-freedom production to an hourly basis. are the following figures: Every hour of every day America's farm plant Droduces 6,486,000 quarts of milk, 5,236, 000 eggs, 134 carloads of hogs, 88V4 carloads of beef, 2,696.000 pounds of potatoes and similar quantities of vegetables, oil crops and other products. Besides food uses, farm crops are directly in the war too Cotton and alcohol are used to make smokeless powder. When a battleship fires a 16-inch gun, a bale of cotton and 18 bushels of wheat are hurled at the enemy. To paint the battleship requires tne on from flaxseed produced on 169 acres. By R. G. Fowler, County Agent. Small Fruits on Tha Canning List Cherries, raspberries and other small fruits will be next on your canning list. These fruits should be included in your canning budget for they aid in adding variety to winter meals. One of the simplest ways of canning fruits is by the hot water bath method. The use of a pressure cooker for fruits is not recommended as there is a tendency to overcook the fruit. Either the cold or hot pack mav be used in preparing fruit for the hot water bath.

With the sugar allowance less than formerly used it is wise to take advantage of the natural sugar content of the fruit and use the fruit juice instead of water in making the sugar syrup. Those fruits that are not perfect in shape and color may be crushed and the juice extracted. Another procedure would be the addition of dry sugar to the fruit and by heat ing over a low fire the juice is extracted from the berries and may be poured over the fruit as it is packed in the jars and then processed. Cherries processed in water bath must be processed 25 minutes if cold pack or five minutes if hot pack is used. Raspberries and such small fruits are processed 20 minutes if cold pack and five minutes if hot packed. One precaution in using the hot water bath method of can ning is to be certain that the water comes at least an inch STRANGE AS IT SEEMS ew"-"r.Y?!''"? r2 . (J,a - USED Xt IN WOCLD WAR.
