Murdock answered, "in way." He began to undress, con' scious of her inspection mi try ing to make up his mind about a lot of things. "As a matter of fact I wai nut at Hester's. "Oh?" The word came on 4 soft ly rising inflection. "She wanted to talk about Ward Allen." "I ire. And what did she have to say?" "Plenty. I've got the dope cn hit Eoum American aavemures. "Oh." Joyce said again. It was a different word entirely this ; v.e. and her glance was uncertain. "I'll tell you about it if you can stay awake, ne laid. She did not answer rlehi away but lay there watching him. her brow creased in thought and try ing not to think too much about Hestor. . "Kent." she said finally. "Why don't you do something (.bout it? "About what? . "The murder." What could I do?" "You roil Id irv "To solve it. you mean?" He shook his head, his grin sardonic. "Oh. no. I don't know anything about the case and I don't want to know. Joyce watched him, saying jth ing. There was, she saw, little us in arguing with him now. When he got stubborn about anything there wasn't much she could do. He'd made up his mind that this murder was none of his busines, whether because of Hestor or from sheer inertia and tha. was that Only it wasn't so simpto If he could know what was really hap pening if she could tell him the trutn Her thoughts hung there a mo ment Should the tell him? They needed help, she and oelia. And yet even if she told him it might do no good. Unless she could goad him into saying that he would at least trv to And a solution "You re not afraid Hestor has something to do with it are you "Certainly not" "But still you don't want to know anything about the murder. You won't try to solve it even if I ask you." "Look" '' "You won't will you?" ! "No," Murdock said bluntly. Decision "7ERY well." Joyce turned and ' patted the pillows. "Then I will. "You will whst?" "See what I can do about find ing out who killed Perry Clarke." "Oh. no. you won't" "But I will." Joyce said sweetly. "I'm not sure I can help much, but I Intend to trv." He came to the foot of the bed and scowled down at her. "You stay out of it. You think murder Is some gamer" "Oulte the contrary but" '"Whoever killed Clarke will ?ay with his life if he's caught hat's all he can lose, his life. If Jt means killing jomebodv else to save him he'll kill again. You hap pen to stnmble across something that puts him in a spot and what do you think that makes you?" "A good detective." His face darkened. Tm telling you, Joyce " "I hear you." "I mean it" "1 know you do," Joyce said calmly. "But you won't dj any thing yourself, will you?" "No. I won't" "All right I Just wanted to be euro." She lay back and pulled up the covers. Lana Turner . - - nwnnaw.'"' "f A A."" Lana Turner, movie actress, and Stephen Crana. former stock broker of Chicago and New York, with whom she la shown, eloped by plane to Las Vegas, Nev., and were married by Judge George E. Marshall, who also married Lana to Artie Shaw about two years ago. Murdock hesitated, helpless in his exasperation because hi sensed that he had accomplished noth ing. He turned abruptly and start ed for the bathroom, and lust as he passed through the doorway, Joyce said: "And while yyj're In there, darling, be sure and wash that lipstick off your face." Beyond Her Depth LORETTA. the maid who camt ' to the Murdocks" every morn ing but Sunday to wash dishes and clean, answered the telephon and found Joyce in the bedroom brushing her hair. Telephone," Loretta sal(' "It's Miss Stewart" Joyce said: "All right thank you. and stood up. She was wear ing a plaid dress, oredominintly brown and simply styled. There was a little collar -nd a leather belt and buttons all down i the front and the skirt had pleats that gave her nlenty of leg room for her easy graceful stride. "Oh. Joyce." Delia said, her voice agitated. "The lieutenant wants me to :omt see nim. At po lice headquarters And Joyce" her voice choked "they've rested Ward." A sinking sensation came over Joyce. , . "Are you sure?" "Yes. Uncle Dean's on his way over here now. He's goin down with me. But I want you, too. Jovee. Will you come?" "Of course, darling. If you want me" "Oh. I do. I need you. Well come by for you in twenty minutes or so " She hurried on after breath. "And we've got to hurry Joyce. We've got to be back here to meet Mr Fenner at eleven thirty." Joyce glanced at the clock on the mantel and saw xat it was nearly nine thirty There had been a telephone call for K-nt shortly after eight from McGra?h. the managing, editor of the Couri t, and he had gone out In a hurry, muttering something about an as signment In Providence. There'd been an explosion, he'd said: aboard some jhio. He might not be bsrk until late. She had a feeling of things clos ing in on her, of getting beyond her depth. Such were her thought as she waited for Delia and Dean Thorn dike. They were still in her mind when thev went uo the steps and into the vaulted foyer at police headquarters and snnke tr the of ficer at the Information desk. They waited until a man came to get them: then they rode uo in the eievne nd mere taken t a room adjoining Lieutenant Ba cons oltlce It wns. she sa w. a con ference room of sorts with a long table in the center, a flat-topped desk at one end. and eight or ten chairs, everything in golden oak and well scarred. Lieutenant Bacon was cated t one end of the table.' his back to the desk. Next to him war a weil dressed man with horn-rimmed glasses and not much hah. al though he had a voung-iooking fare. Bacon introduced him as O'Conner. from the District At torney's office, and asked them to be seated "I hardly expected so many of you. he said, eves on Delia. "I anked them, she said. "And I want to know about Ward Allen." Thorndike added. Where Is he? Has he asked for a lawver?" "Why has he been arrested?" Delia said. Baron answered calmly "He's not actually arrested It -.night be called protective custody. The thing Is ve ve unearthed a few facts that need exnlainire May be It's lust as well von all came. .

Vick ery, vicehairman of the mari time commission, studied a pro posal today to win the battle of the Atlantic with giant cargo- carrying airplanes built In ship yards. Vlckery, who warned In an interview yesterday that sub marines are sinking ships faster than the United Nations can build them, received the pro posal from Henry, J. .Kaiser, west coast shipbuilder, at the launching of .another Liberty freighter at one of Kaiser's yards. Carry Hug Loads Kaiser -foresaw- a fleet of planes capable of carrying 300, 000 men to England in one day, and deliverying 70,000 tons of food and munitions to the Brit ish isles the next. Submarines could not shoct down such a fleet, and with even slighter fighter protection, en emy airplanes could not hinder the air freighters, Kaiser said. He added that there is not enough steel available now to keep all shipyards operating at capacity and proposed that the maritime commission turn nine yards three on the Atlantic, three on the Pacific,, and three on the gulf coast to production of the planes. He said shipyards could be converted easily. MAE WEST SEEKS Los Angeles, July 20 (AP) Mae West and her one-time vau deville partner, Frank Wallace, planned today to end their mar riage, a ceremony kept secret for years, then widely puk'icized. Mae asked for a divorce on the g ound of cruelty. Her complaint contained no specific charges. Wallace, whom she married In Mil' -aukee, April 11, 1911. plead ed for separate maintenance of $1,000 a month. He asked Super ior Judge Walter Desmond for a.imony on the representation he was destitute. - Mae, he contends,- has a for tune of more than $1,000,000, ac cumulated through her acting and producing on the stage and screen. Wallace was not repre sented by an attorney. GOOD REASON Fort Des Moines. Ia .lnlv 2n A woman phoned WAAC headauarters here for infnrmn. tion on how to Join the feminine army corps.
