Joyce Take Over
JOYCE tu reading In bed.
-You must have bad a busy
night" she said.
"I did." 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.
. Bv the way. Mr Thorndike.

The bid of United States Sena

race, with Murry in the . 1936

Shipbuilding Wizard Sug
gests Aerial Route To Foil
Submarines in Atlantic.
Portland. Ore., July 20 JP
Rear Admiral Howard L. 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.
