WOMEN WONT TALK BY RENE RYERSON MART ' JAIL ;, CHAPTER X'XIV JT .was Kathy's great moment and she wu magnificent Sh marched up to Shaw with her head held high and her eyes flash ing scornfully at him. JTfice work, sheriff," she taunt ad. "You've built a perfect case out of air. And if it was anyone but Gram, I'd let you get away with it Sorry to spoil your cli max but I killed Derek Gradyl No one seemed able to say any thing. "I killed him, but you'd nevei 'have proved it on roe. I was toe clever for you. I destroyed the jonly evidence you would ever have had against me. Destroyed lit yesterday and no one suspected. My BLACK COAT, the BLACK COAT with the bullet hole in the "pocket. I carried it out of here before their very eyes Gram van saw ma and talked to me in the ball. I took it out on the lake and filled the pockets with stones and sank It Shaw waited until she had fin ished and then said quietly, his words deflating her like a pin- pricked balloon, "I was wonder ing if I'd have to take your grand mother to Jail before you'd break down and confess." She struggled vainly to regain her self-assurance as he pounded questions at her. She had gone to the bank in Listen the morning of the day when Grady was lulled, hadn't she? Yes. She had tried to cash a check for $5,000 hadnt she, and the bank had had only SSOO in cash on hand? And the cashier had told her she couldn't get it until morning even by go ing to Middleton, for the banks closed there at noon on Thurs days, taking their half-holiday in midweek instead of on Saturday during the summer, wasnt that right? Yes. And Derek had got ten pretty nasty, hadn't he, when aha went back to him with only $500, for he couldnt wait until morning, the police were too hot on hia trail? ITATHY'S lips opened but no sound came from them, and there was. sheer heartbreak in her eyes. Shaw waited a moment, and when ha saw that Kathy wasn't going to speak, asked, "What did he do?- Threaten you with physi cal harm?" Kathy wet her parched . lips. "No. He he saw my ring, and he wanted it and I said I couldn't give it to him, it was my engage ment ring, and then then he took it from me. He he hurt me." She swallowed once. "I had the gun in the pocket of my coat I bad gotten it for him, out of the desk in Gram's room, and so bo I shot him." It ; was at this point that George Baker got up from his chair with the jerky motion of a jack-in-the-box. - He strutted up to: Shaw. "See here," he ordered, trying to make his falsetto voice belligerent, "What's the use of airing all this in public? What if she did kill the man? He deserved it, didn't he?" He fumbled at a pocket and drew out his check book. "Just forget all this. Ill pay you anything anything you say." No price was too high to protect the precious Baker name from any connection with scandal. But George had made a mistake. Shaw didn't even bother to an swer the dapper little banker, just turned a broad shoulder in his face and spoke to Kathy: "Are you ready to go now?" What happened after that was anti-climax. George's splutter in gs became abusive . . . something about the complete assininity of policemen. Kathy turned toward him. Tm sorry, George, that I got you into this mess." She looked down at her bare left hand. "I can't give you back your ring just now but please understand that our engagement's ended. You're not to blame for any of this, and it's not fair that you should suffer." George's face flamed. "What do you take me for? I'm sticking, of course." Of course) .The code of the George Bakers never allows them publicly to run out on a woman. A ND so George and Mattison and Walter went along when Shaw took Kathy away. Mattison giving me an odd look just before he went out the door. FUNNY BUSINESS I So need to worry when it rains every bed is equipped with its own umbrellal" Connie stayed behind, obviously thinking it her duty to take care of me. I let her help me up the stairs, but once there I told her I'd be all right and shut my bed room door firmly in her face. Then I went to bed and to sleep. I slept straight through until the next morning, and woke to find it still dark at 8 o'clock and heard rain pelting against the window panes. I called Clara and asked her to bring my breakfast upstairs, and I was still eating when Walter came in. He gave me a couple of pieces of bad news to digest along with my toast and marmalade. First, he said Kathy would have to stay in jail. There was some thing in the law which said a per son charged with murder couldnt be released on bail. Then he add ed that George Baker was flying east to engage the best criminal lawyer available for Kathy's de fense. Those were a couple of angles FAVORITE FLOWERS FOR YOUR LINENS Alice Brooka , Whether it's towel or pillow case, scarf or cloth you are em broidering, it will be enhanced by these "true to life garden fa vorites.

"No coaching, please!' ; . . vrr I hadnt 'counted on. I thought things over and as soon as Walter left I got up and dressed and went downstairs and called Clint Matti son at the Cottage. I asked him if he'd drive me in to see Kathy. That was the funny part of it. I didn't wait for Mattison to come looking for me. No, I sent for himl V . And so I had no one but myself to blame for what happened after that (To Be Continued) i CROOKED RIVER So crooked is Kentucky's No lin river that it winds a distance of 20 miles in flowing between two points six miles apart. It is difficult for a pilot to judge height above a snow sur face when approaching for a landing. The tendency is to level off too high, with a re sulting drop which can damage the landing gear.
