She was not with me.” “Okay,” he said. *“l'm tired of being strung along. You're all fin~ ished, baby.” ] He turned on his heel and start ed for the door. ~ Vera Duchene dragged him | back., “No, no!” she said. “We've got to make her throw in with us. She's in a key position.” Millicent knew she should keep quiet, knew it even while she was speaking, but there was something about this woman which irritated her beyond endurance. She said, very distinetly, “It happens that it's too late for me even to enter tain such a proposition. Sergeant Mahoney Kknows you are holding my muddy clothes. He sensed that vou were holding them for a pur pose, and he figured out just what that purpose was. 1 think he knows exactly where you were last night and what you were do-! ing.” - Had she suddenly exploded a bomb in front of them their faces could not have shown any greater consternation. Vera Duchene gasp ed, then glanced apprehensively at Bob. Caise took a step toward Millicent as though he intended to strike her, but Vera Duchene grabbed his arm. “Quick!” she said. “We've got to fix up our alibi from the other end!"” 4 For a moment Bob Caise stared at her stupidly. Then he nodded and turned toward the door. Without a word to Millicent,they left the room. ’ Millicent waited only a moment. Then she opened the door and ‘stepped into the corridor, She wanted to get out of that room. She didn’'t know where she was going or what she was going to do when she got there, but she wanted to be free of those stifling walls. She almost ran down the corri dor, and was half way down the stairs whep she sensed an obstruc tion ahead of her. She looked up and saw Norman Happ's broad shoulders. His arms swung wide. Millicent knew, even in ithat split fraction of a second, that she could have checked her momentum had it been Bob Caise on the stairs. But she didn’'t want to check herself. She let herself go forward and Norman Happ's arms enveloped her. “Whoa!” he said. “What is this —a runaway?” She lay limp for as long as she dared, feeling the protecting circle of his arms around her. When Sergeant Mahoney had placed a friendly arm about her shoulders she had felt strangely relaxed. She had lefc like an al most exhausted swimmer who finds something to which he cap cling for temporary rest. But with Nor man Happ she felt this sensation greatly intensified. She wanted to lie in his arms, limp and relaxed, feeling that he would stand be tween her and the world. Then, as she felt the warmth of his person ality surrounding her, there was 4nother feeling—a strange pulse pounding sensation which glowed within her. But it was Millicent who pushed back, laughing slightly. “Pmi afraid” she gaid, % ~wasn’t looking where I was go ing.” ; “You were in a hurry,” he said, keeping his hands on her arms, then slowly letting them slide down ‘until he held both of her thands. She tingled at hig touch, tried to avoid his eyes. “Look at me,” he said. Somewhere on the lower floor a telephone bell rang repeatedly. Millicent raised her eyes to his. “What's the matter?’ he asked. “Were you running away from something ?” ~ She shook her head. “Has Bob Caise been hothering you again?”’ . She laughed lightly and said, “Oh, Bob Caise. He's a joke.” “Sergant Mahoney been giving vou a third degree?” “Sergeant Mahoney,” she told thim, “is wvery mnice.” The telephone continued to ring . The monotony of it got on Milli cent’s nerves. “Isn't someone sup posed to answer that telephone?”’ she asked. The words were mo more than out of her mouth hefore she heard the smoothly polished tones of Mrs. Happ saving, “Hello.” Normap Happ smiled at her and said, “No sooner do you express a wish than it's granted.” She started to say something, but was interrupted by a terrified seream from the lower floor. “What's that?’ Norman Happ asked sharply. Once more the gcream was Te peated, Millicent heard the tele phone crash to the floor. Then she heard running steps. | She and Norman faced the foot of the stairs. | Cynthia Happ's face, distorted with emotion, stared up at them.] She saw them, tried to speak and couldn’t. Instead, she flung her arms above her heard, screamed onee more, and bpitched face for -Be, BN et &L S AUTO INDUSTRY IS IN HIGH GEAR Heaviest Volume Within Past Five Years Reported At Present Time } BY DAVID J.

To Pilate or Saturday, the day after the -erucifixion, came a disci ple of Jesus and a man of wealth-—Joseph of Arimathea—to obtain the body of Jesus. Not objecting to private burial of the man he had be lieved innocent, but first making sure from the ‘centurion of Jesus’ death, Pilate granted Joseph’s request. Aided by Nicedemus, another disciple, Joseph wrapped the body in fine linen, sprinkled it with spices, and laid it in a new tomb hewn out of rock, in a gardén near the place of erucifixion.
