Thorndike was not yet mol lified and bi manner continued hostile and aggressive. They haven't turned upt -No." "We'd like the dope on them. Denominations, names, numbers, things like Uiat" "They're not registered," Thorn dike said "They're all ' coupon bonds. Clarke insisted on that. Anyone could sell them. 1 haven't a list witn me But you can get one at my .office any .ime." "Good. Bacon said. "Then well know what we're looking lor." He had Dressed a button on th desk as he spoke and presently a Iain-clothes man looked in. Get Ir. Allen." Bacon said. Delia Stewart was on her feet when the. door opened again, and ran along the length of the table to meet Ward Allen, who stopped at the sight of her eyes widen ing with surprise and something else that might have been alarm. "Oh. Ward!" There was a catch In her voice and she stumbled on. "You're all right, aren't you, darling . . .?" She put her arms about bis waist, but even then he did not touch ner, standing quite stiff with nands at his side, a straight, tall figure in chalk-striped gray. Only the pallor of his face sug gested that anything was wrong; that and the tightness in his voice. "What are you doing here. Dee?" She lifted her head. "I had to come. 1 would have come any way. And vou mustn't worry, darling. Please. Everything will be all right ..." "I know. I know." Joyce caught the strange re moteness of his voice: so did Delia. She drew back, looking up and searching nis face. Only once had he looked at her and now his gaze was directed over her head and he seemed intent on getting her back to her seat as he touched her arm and turned her towards it Delia went along in front of nun. ner eyes nurt and bewil dered. She sat down and looked at the table. Vaguely, Joyce heard Bacon Introduce O'Conner. but it was not until the investigation began ' that she could really listen or take ner eyes off the grim lines or ward Alien s tace. There's no stenographer this time." Bacon was saying. "All I want you to do is give Mr. O'Con ner the real story of what hap pened tne otner nignt. Tlght Spot TOTTRE in a p etty tight spot, Mr. Allen." O'Conner said. "if you can explain" "I ve already told the lieutenant my story. Waro Allen said. ' Yes terday morning." "I read that part," O'Connor said, out there s more now." "Is there?" "A lot more. Where did you get ma gun you tnrew away at aoout eleven thirty the night before 1BS17 Joyce stared In dismay, hear big Delia's muffled gasp. Without moving, ward Allen aeemed to flinch. His cheeks grew ashen and although the protec tive mask he had fashioned to hide bis feelings was still Dretty food something had happened to im. inside he was scared and shaken: it showed in his eves. "Well, Mr. Allen?" O'Conner said. "I'm afraid I don't follow you." Allen's voice was cold again. "What gun is that?" "Was there more than one?" O'Conner was leaning forward little, smiling Joyce hated him right then because something told her that in this battle of words the District Attorney's man held all the cards. Allen looked across th table saying nothing. Eighty per cent of Costa Rica's cultivated land Is owned in small holdings of 10 to 100 acres. W In vV 111! It Ik i ' ' .1 S AtJne t .-. !

He was still smil ing, still waiting. When he again received no answer the smile went away and nis voice grad ually became curt incisive. "A taxi driver found it" ha said "after ne nad seen someone throw it there. He was sittinr: in his cab there's a two cab stand back on the next corner and be saw a coupe slow down ahead of him, lulling in to the curb. A man leaned out and tossed some thing in the can. and because ha .wasn't busy and was curious he walked down the street and look a look. It was a .32 automatic. O'Conner pulled out a pack of cigarette waiting until he had a light Defore ne went on. "Unfortunately for us he de cided it was a pretty nice find and he'd keep it Being on at all night shift ne didn't get ud until late a'ternoon. He saw the piece in the paper about Clarke, but he was a little scared then and didn't get nis nerve up until evening. After he'd turned it in, it took some time to check and nave the ballistics man go over it Other wise we would have had you down last night Mr. Allen. Be cause that gun killed Perry Clarke." Denial THIS time nothing changed in Ward Allen's face, and bis voice was composed. "I suppose all vou'U have to do now is compare my fingerprints with those on the gun or may be tne taxi man can identify the arm that threw it" O'Conner's glance narrowed Ir ritably. "There wouldn't be any prints, except the taxi driver's. And we don't expect him to identify you since ne only had a glimpse of your profile and that at a iitince we're not kidding ourselves about that But he did take down the number ot tne coupe and ' checks with vours. Your car was out on the streets a', that time and was not delivered to vour garage until between eleven thirty and a quarter of twelve." Lieutenant Bacon had been listening to all this with tll-dis-guised impatience. Now he blew His nose loudly and cleared his throat. "Why don't you come clean and stop giving us the run-around?" he said Allen looked at him and smiled. "You already have my story," he said. "I suppose you didn't throw that gun away?" "No" "Why dont you tell us some body stole your car?" "You've already thought of that. So I'll say the taxi driver must have been mistaken about the license number." O'Conner shrugged and stood up. his glance narrow and resent ful. "I'll explain It to the chief." he said. "Meanwhile you'd better hold him downstairs." He out on his hat and went out Bacon went to the window and looked out his legs wide-spread and back stiff. After that there was silence for a few seconds, un til Dean Thorndike shifted in his chair. Take it easr. Ward. Well ret a lawyer for you and" lhat isn t necessary. Ward said. "They really haven't any case, you know." "But there'll be publicity If you You know there 11 be nub- llcity," Bacon spun about. "We're looking over vour place now. Al len with a warrant. Just xake yourself comfortable downstairs and we'll see now long you stick to your story." ne strode back to tne desk and pushed a button. Presently the plain-clnthes man appeared. Ba con nodded to him and he wilked up to Ward Allen, touching him on the arm.

CuSle aaaters JAPS IN ALEUTS TOLD BY WITNESS Evacuees Describe Work of Young Fliers Native Aleuts Scatter to Camps. An Alaskan Port, July 15 UP) In the first eye witness ac count of operations against Jap anese occupying Kiska in the western Aleutians, evacuees from a lonesome Aleutian Island described the courageous work of young navy fliers who blasted enemy forces with thousands of pounds of bombs in continued attacks. They told, too, of a futile Jap anese bombing of an unprotect ed Aleutian island, witnessed by natives who hid in a near-by. sod hut awaiting evacuation. Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Mo- Gee, Indian service teachers, said a force of navy pilots drop ped their flying boats Into their little harbor one evening after Japanese had occupied Kiska. Sink Transport Then, for two days and nights. McGee said, the navy pilots, working in two-hour shifts. dropped bombs on the Japanese at Kiska, sinking large trans port, a submarine, and other ships; downing two defending Japanese Zero fighters. (Attacks on Kiska and sinking of Japanese warships by army and navy aircraft have been an nounced in navy communiques. and the evacuation of natives and whites from Atka and the Pribiloff Islands was reported June 26.) "The young navy flyers got tougher after each raid," the teacher reported. 'The proced ure was to fly high over Kiska, dive through the clouds, level out, sight objectives and then dive to bomb from about 300 feet. There were two zero fight ers there for the first attack. These were shot down. Pilots Pussled "Some of the pilots were puzzled when they scored direct hits on a large transport and it failed to go completely under. They found that rocks were holding the smashed vessel up." Mr. and Mrs. McGee (he was an ex-marine from San Diego, and her home is Ottawa, Kan sas) turned their schoolhouse over to the navy for barracks where the pilots grabbed cat naps. Most of the planes came back with bullet holes in their pontoons. The McGees remedied that by donating the school's stock of pencils which were broken and stuffed into the pon toon to keep them floating. Then, the McGees reported, a Japanese reconnaissance plane was sighted. The navy ordered the evacuation, and the fun was over, with the score much in the navy's favor. While the navy was using their village as a temporary base, the native Aleuts had scat tered to fishing camps. The navy pilots left for their home base, and a vessel took the McGees and 62 of the natives. The Japanese attack on the Island was described by Steve Gardner, young chief of the natives, who was among 24 left behind by the vessel. He and his HAP HOPPER.

"Next the bombers made two trips over the village, and scored a hit on the vacant school house. Then they dropped six bombs all wasted." Returning, the enemy planes swooped low to machine gun tents in one of the fishing vil lages. Then they left, roaring directly over the hut in which the natives hid, unharmed. Gardner and his 23 compan ions were flown out the next day by two navy planes. None of the Aleuts had been in a plane before. Said one 68-year-old native: "Very good ride.
