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

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

And so I had no one but myself

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.
Steel in an average-sized lawn
mower is enough to make one
