"Ready?" he asked and walked over to the door where he turned. "Sorry. Dean." be said. This may ba pretty rotten for the firm but there's not much can do about It now. . . 'Bye. Joyce . . . And thanks. Dee." he added, not look ing at her. "Don't let them bully you and don't worry." ' "Worry?" Delia stood up and faced him "Why should I worry? Do vou? Have you ever?" Joyce Rasped at the outburst Cone from the girl was the look of pain and deiection: now rer eyes struck sparks and her voice was stiff with emotion. "It's that hateful pride of yours. You don't want help from me or anyone else. No matter how intolerable the situation you'll always have that stubborn Indif ference to protect vou. You don't want a lawyer, you can't be bothered to defend yourself. You'd rather stay here than admit you're in trouble. . . . All right Stay here and rot a while. Maybe it will do vou some good." After that the silence was op pressive. Delia continued to stare at him. waiting for some answer, but none came. With the first angry flare of spirit Ward Allen had recoiled as though someone had struck him, then the look of hurt was gone, leaving his face stiff and impassive. Without a word ne lert the room. Delia sagged. She tried not to, keeping her head uo defiantly. but something had gone out of tier "Why did I have to do that?" he said, hopelessly. Bacon stood glaring at the door, his lone face still flushed. Thorn- dike ran his hand over his jaw and snook his head, scowling, his yes puzziea. i Joyce was completely misera ble. She did not know what to believe. She had seen the shock ing effect of O'Conner's announce ment m Ward Allen's face, seen him steel himself against the questioning that followed Either ward naa tnrown tne gun away or the taxi driver had been mis taken. But It was not this alone that made her feel so. faint inside. Something terrible and frighten ing had happened to Ward and Delia. Cigarette Case A CHAIR scraped anr Thorn dike was walking round the table. "Now, now," he said. "Hell be 11 right and so will you. We'll get a lawyer and have him out before night." He patted Delia's shoulder. squeezing it so that she looked at him ana tried to smile. Joyce stood up and Thomdike started for '.he door. "Just a minute. Miss Stewart" Baron was turned to the desk. -WW you take look at this, please? Delia gave him . questioning lance, and stepped up beside nim. Joyce could see Bacon ges ture to something flat and gleam ing on the desk. "Ever seen that before?" Delia picked up the object and Joyce saw It was a silver cig arette case. She waited while the Eirl turned the case over in her and. "I'm sorry, I haven't," she said. She did not replace ' the case but extended it to Bacon so that he had to accept it Not until then, as he took it holding two edges between thumb and middle finger, did Joyce realize what had happened. Fear struck at her and she went cold inside. Delia was walking towards Dean Thorndike. Bacon put the case on the desk, his back to the room; then Joyce knew ;i.s. Malor General Karl Spats. U. Heroes Congratulated v- theater of operations, congratulates four American airmen who! look part in the July 4 raid on a German airfield in Holland, after I they had received the distinguished flying cross at a U. S. army air base In Britain. Left t nghti General Spats. Serqesnt Bennie ' B. Cunningham, Tupelo, liss.r Sergeant Robert L. Golay. Frerlonia. I Kan.i Lieut. Randall D-rton of Long Beach. CalU., and Majpt Charles Kecelman, El Reno. Ok la. what she had to do and was walk ing resolutely towards him. "By the way. Lieutenant Are you still holding that man Rae burn?" "Yes," Bacon said, "but I don't know for how long. We haven't cracked him and his lawyer must have influence. Some pressure came down the line to the D.A. from Washington. If we don't get something soon we'll have to let him go." He . had turned to face her. leaning back on the desk, his hands braced at his sides. She stood auite close to him, trying to edge around nim. talking, not knowing exactly what she said Presently she made her smile little more winning and ap proached the problem directly. "Could 1 see that case?" Per haps i may have " "I doubt it" Bacon said. He was smiling too. but there was a queer look In his gray eyes. "I don't think you're even seen it before." A plain-clothes man appeared beside ner and she realized that Bacon had pressed the buzzer. "You can have this now, Wasey." he said, stepping so close to Joyce that she had to move back. "She can't identify it." Joyce saw the plain-clothes man reach for the case. When he started out she saw he was holding it the same way Bacon had. Then he was gone and she was walking to where Thorndike and Delia waited, drawing on ner gloves so that they would not see the fear in her eyes. Even in the hall sne kept her face averted lest it should reveal ner feelings. Delia's fingerprints were on that case and very soon now those prints would be compared with those on the glass from which Delia had sipped her drink in Perry Clarke's apartment Maybe He Did DEAN THORNDIKE handed them Into his car and drove slowly down Berkeley Street easing to a stop in front of the traffic light "We'll go down to the office." he said, "and I'll call Arnold Gage. He's the best lawyer in town for this sort of thing. "I think Delia would rather go home." Joyce said. "Ye, please." Delia said. "For a little while.'' Thorndike started to speak. checked himself when he looked down at the girl at his side. The light changed and he shifted gears, continuing straight across. "All right I'll drop you off. You do look done in." She was staring straight ahead. a look of blank despondency in her eyes. Why did I do that?" There was a catch .n her voice but she quickly controlled it. "I wanted so to et him know it didn t mat ter, to do something to help him. I didn't mean to je such a nasty nine oeast Dut "Of course you didn't Joyce said. "I couldn't stand it. He lust sat there as if nothing could possibly matter to him any more, as if he didn't even want us around." He didn t expec; us. Joyce said. "He came in prepared to put up a good front and not let the lieutenant rattle him. and he didn't dare let down." Yes." Deli said. "And how perfectly awful it must be for him." Just the same, Thorndike said, "I think he's taking the wrong attitude. That taxi driver could be mistaken but it does look as though Ward was out and around about that time. Why shouldn't he explain his move ments? 1 don't know. Dee, I think he's hiding something." There was more silence and then Thorndike spoke again. 1 don t like to say it but there's one thing we ought to consider. Maybe he did kill Clarke."

Lieut. Roy D. Craft, former Medford CCC officer and Medford and San Francisco newspaper man. In the June 0 issue of the "Kodiak Bear," army camp paper pub lished by the men of Fort Greely, Alaska, Craft laments his in ability to chronicle some of the big things going on in the far north and fears his news sense is being irretrievably blunted. His article follows:) By 1st Lieut Roy D. Craft War la hell on newspaper man, even an old, broken-down hack like us. We go on duty as, let us say, a public relations officerand In the course of time we land at an outpost such as, let us say, Utopiak. We publish little camp pa per named, for instance, the Utopiak Badger. Censor Alert But there is a war on, and we re in the "zone of operations" and we have the hot breath of the censor on our neck and we cannot mention anything that might give aid and comfort to the enemy, and that includes Just about everything that hap pens at an army outpost. There was a time when we growled at doing a three-paragraph weather rewrite for the Monday first-edition. We take it all back. We'd ' give our old squa'ter rights to the third stool from the left at Hurley's, near Third and Market, for the priv ilege of Just saying, "It rained today," or "It sure was a beauti ful sunny day." But up in this country, weather is vital infor mation We think we have a pretty good little sideshow at Utopiak and we hark back to those dear. I dead days when Army press agents could go to town on every military development. But we concentrate on such harmless topics as who got his corporal's stripes and which ser geant won the company black Jack tournament and which Joe Doakes got fluffed off by what tbe back home, and why can't these gals be faithful to their bjys in Alaska. Many Stories Since we've been here, we've seen so many good stories bloom to uiush unseen that we have learned to walk ud to a naec 1 top head, 7 coiumn banner story and laugh in its face, spit in its eye, turn on our heels and walk off with the nonchalance of a buck, sergeant wearing his first stripes. We see exciting things hantwn and early In June, let us say, we see tremendous events take shap. So we go back to- our tvne- writer and do a story on the radishes coming up in Lieut. Russell's garden, and what a surprise It will be to the bovs when they sink their teeth "in crisp,' red radishes at the com pany mess soon. we are not comolalninc. America is at war and every step must be taken to protect our lives, our homes and our freedom. But we cannot resist the ob servation that it Is a hell of a sensation to sit handcuffed while a beautiful story sits on your lap and looks up into your eyes through long, dark lashes. with a hurt and puzzled look.

Shortly afterward the "Fleurus I" saUed over Kons-Kartaus and dropped four 155-millimeter shells. This was the first air raid of the war and of history. CHIEF Lieut Gen. Dwlght D.
