KOW OO ON WITH THE CHAPTER XXIII 1LLICENT said, "I don't think I have to explain anything that I have done, to you. If there are any explanations to be made! I'll make them to Mr.

Hapfl per- sonally." "Or to the police," Vera Duchene said. Mllllcent shrugged her shoulders. After all, she would have to face the facts sooner or, later, she determined to go to Mr. Happ and tell him the truth. Vera Duchene, holding up the dress triumphantly, said, "You know what will happen when the police find out about this?" "I fall to see that It concerns you in the least," Mlllicent told Vera Duchone crossed to a chair, Btlll holding the muddled dress, sat down surveyed MllHcent with cool, Impudent eyes.

"It happens," she said, "that It Is going to make quite a bit of difference to you." "I'm sure I don't care to discuss It with you," Mllllcent said, "and if you wouldn't mind leaving the room, I have some work to do." "When I leave," Vera Duchene savagely, "I'll take this dress with me." "do ahead and take It if you want to," Mlllicent remarked with a great show of indifference. Her manner puzzled the maid. She stared at Mllllcent for a few seconds, then said in a more conciliatory tone, "But I don't want to get you into trouble, "Don't call me dearie!" Mlllicent told her, "and go ahead and make all the-trouble you wantl By the time you're through we'll find out Just where we stand." "Now wait a minute," Vera Duchene said. "Don't mlsnnder- etand me. We're all of us open to euspiclon on some things, and we've all of us got to stand together." "What do you mean by that?" "ITERA DUCHENE shrugged her shoulders.

"I'm afraid," Vera said, "if the police should check up on me, they'd find that I didn't get in until quite a bit later than I would like, to have them think. Also they might find that I was with someone who might have some embarrassing explanations to make. Tou know how those things are, dearie that Is, Miss Grabes." Mllllcent, waiting, wondered what was coming next. "So," Vera Duchene went on "we thought that is I thought that you could say that I came home about 11 o'clock, and came Into footn to? a ebatj that I'd heafd that Mr, Happ had-employed 1 i new secretary and 1 came in to get acquainted. Yon could say that we sat up and talked tor an hour or so, and then you suggested that I stay here with you and that 1 slept here until early the morning when 1 went to tny own room to change tny clothes.

That wottld give both of us an atibl attd protect as from having the police ask unnecessary questions." The temptation almost overwhelmed Mllllcent, Here was opportunity to give herself a perfect alibi. Here would be a chance to positively disclaim ownership of the handkerchief. But Mllllcent realized that this was only a temptation. Slowly she shook her head. Savage rage twisted Vera Duchene's features.

"You've got to." she said. "I "I tell you you will." "I tell you I won't Get out of my room." "I'll get out fast enough," Vera Duchene said savagely. "You think over what I've told you. If you haven't a different answer for me within two hours, t'm going to take this dress directly to Detective Buchanan." "Go ahead," Mllllcent said. "See If I care." "And don't worry," the maid went on, "but what Detective Buchanan will put you over the Jumps.

By the time i get done with him he'll realize this Is one of the most significant pieces of evidence uncovered In connection with the entire case." "Yes," MilHcent said. "I noticed you were 'handing him that line about being a big strong man and he was lapping it up like a cat lapping up cream." T7ERA DUCHBNB smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, my dear. You haven't seen anything yet" With that She stepped Into the corridor, banging the door behind her. Mllllcent stared at the door, feeling suddenly as though life had betrayed her into a series of circumstances with which she was powerless to cope. However, she resolved that she would go directly to Jarvis Happ and make a statement of her case to him, and then do what ever he suggested.

Her chin in the air, she left her room, walked down the corridor to the door of Jarvis Happ's study. There was no one In the room. Millicent felt a wave of disappointment sweep over her. She had been counting more than she herself realized upon the strong personality of the mysterious man who employed her. The more she saw of Happ the more she began to believe it was impossible for him to be implicated in the Orimgold murder, and certainly he was her friend.

He had information enough about her to put her in the hands of tho police at any-moment In stead, he had befriended her. She was turning to go when her eyes fell on the typewritten page on which she had for Buchanan, the detective, the words "pond," "keys," the letters of the alphabet, and other symbols by which Buchanan had definitely ascertained that the note, describing the location of the keys, bad been written upon the same typewriter.

"Weil, well," he new secretary, Tell you opened the books yet?" She thought there was something mocking in his eyea, "No," said, His face showed surprise. "Why notf 1 thought you were supposed to do it" "I'm supposed," she said, "to.take my orders from Mr. Happ." "Meaning that he told you not to open the set of books 1" "Meaning that you will hate to discuss the matter with Mr. Happ." well," be said hreeiily, no need for us to get at sword's points over It 1 was little bit nervous last night I guess I've been smoking too much Or something, and .1 certainly made fool of myself, want to apologize and I hope you'll forget the things I you. My accounts are absolutely clean and open.

There's nothing whatever for me to worry about, as long as you're square and aboveboard. Of course, if you started Juggling records around, 1 might have some explaining to do, but I think you're going to give me a fair deal." "Whatever made you think I would Juggle records around?" she asked. "Oh, I don't know," he said. "I guess I was nervous and Just got suspicious of everyone." "Well," she said, "you didn't act as though yon were nervous last night Yon acted more as though you had a guilty conscience." He looked at her meaningly and said, "Well, as far as that's concerned, I guess we all of us have guilty consciences. We're not any of us perfect Do yon think BO?" "That depends," she said, "on what yon mean by perfection.

If you'll excuse me, I've got work to do." She went to her own room, opened the door and closed it carefully. She-had placed the note Informing her that the woman in the black.ermine coat was In the house In a place whers she was certain. It would never be under a corner of the carpet Now she went to that corner of the carpet, inserted her fingers "and pulled out the folded paper. If her surmise was correct Norman Happ had slipped that note under her door. But when she spread the note out and compared it with the specimen of typewriting from the machine in Jarvis Happ's office, she suddenly realized that both had been written on the same machine.

There was the same slant to the the same chip' from the edge of the Her eyes widened Incredulously. Was it possible that Norman Happ could have written that anonymous note about the keys being tn the bottom of the pond? She knew that she must see Happ at once. She broke off as knuckles sounded on her door. "Who's there?" she asked. A voice crisp with authority said, "Sergeant Mahoney, of the homicide squad.

Open up, (To Be Continued) HEAT AND HATS ARE HARD ON HAIR Harriet Milliard, anxious (o keep her blonde hair bright and healthy, gives it a daily brushing in the sunshine. Steam heat and hats are two of ttoe greatest enemies of healthy hair. If you doubt this, you have only to compare the scalp conditions of women who live in the country and go bareheaded a. good deal of the time with those of city women who constantly wear hats and live in apartments where there is no moisture in the air. Furthermore, drying machines are none too good for liair.

Of course, for reasons of time and convenience, nearly everyone has to submit to them. But not after every shampoo. It's really an excellent idea to have your finger wave dried by a. gas or electric machine one week and by sunshine and air the next. Ask your operator to use piaiu, water instead, of wave-set lotion when she puts your waves in place.

This way you'll have to spend less time under the dryer. Try Hand-Drying If you have marcels instead Of finger-waves, there's no need for you ever to have artificial heat on your shining locks. Insist on hand-drying, i doesn't take long and really is much better for your scalp. The same applies to women who wear their straight. If you have dandruff, better get a tonic immediately and use it every night.

It can be applied, you know, without disturbing any kind of wave. Simply dip your fingers in the liquid, place them flat against your scalp and massage, circular fashion, until the tonic is absorbed. Keep on until the root of each and every hair has been moistened and stimulated. this applies particularly to persons with be sure to wash and sterilize your hairbrush and combs each night before you go to bed. SISTER MARY'S KITCHEN BY MARY E.

DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer Easter dinner, thank goodness, has fewer traditions than most festal occasions to live up to, so the busy housewife may plan dishes that may be done in part the day before, That Insures leisure for church on Easter morning. Lamb, veal, chicken or duck offer a good variety of meats to choose from at this time of year. Any one of them may be prepared for roasting on Saturday and tucked into the oven Just before leaving for church. My first choice of meat for the Easter dinner is roast leg pf lamb. And here's the dinner.

Fruit cup, roast lamb, mint Jelly, parsley potatoes, new peas, combination vegetable salad, strawberry ice-cream cake, milk, coffee. Mix the cup early Sunday morning and keep it closely covered In the ice-box until wanted for serving. the MesI The leg of lamb Is put into a moderate over (378 degrees before going to church and unless it is usually large it will be done to a turn in two or three hours. If, when you get home from church, the roast is too far along for the rest of the dinner, lower the temperature to 325 degrees F. Remember though, that the peas and potatoes will coofc in thirty minutes.

The mint jelly is made the day before and so is the ice-box cake- I wash my salad frceng and put in the Kfrigerafotf to crisp al SOWS al they COmfi front the market. Then when I'm ready to fnilke the salad the freens ire ready, toe. Utt Aftfel Sake an angel food cake and fill It with strawberry bavarian cream fof the cake. De this Saturday.

Garnish with fine large berries to serve. To suit other tastes, 1 offer" a second Easter dinner. Tomato and lemon Juice cocktail, roast duck, glblet gravy, savory rice wild grape Jelly, Jellied pear salad, pineapple parfalt, sunshine cake, milk, coffee. Add 1-4 cup lemon juice to two cups tomato Juice. Season with 1 teaspoon sugar, 1-4 teaspoon salt and a few drops 6f tabasco sauce.

Chill over night on ice. Stuff duck for roasting on Saturday. Roast in a moderate oven Just like the leg of lamb. Simmer giblets in 4 cups water while duck roasting, Put through food chopper and use stock to make gravy with the drippings in pan in which duck was roasted. Menu BREAKFAST: Sliced banana with stewed dried apricots, cereal, cream, crisp broiled bacon, toast, milk, coffee.

By Klein ONE MAN SEIZURE FIUME IUME, across the Adriatic from Italy, has Gabrlele D'Annun- zlo, Italian poet and dramatist, to thank for Us Independence. The allies had seized the city from during the World War and; while Italy and" Yugo-SIavla wrangled over Us possession, D'Annunzlo led a force Into Flume and took control. The Treaty of Rapall.o made Flume Independent, but D'An- nunzlo defied the powers for more than a year, even declaring war on his own country.

But Italians bombarded the city and D'Annun- zlo fled. One of the stamps of Flume that depict this Incident Is shown here, an Italian sailor raising the Italian nag over the city.

The Baby Ramblers; some of the hardier, free-blooming hybrid teas and Chinas; Rugosas and their hybrids; and many of the bush Noisettes make excellent bed roses and the varieties in these groups are numerous.

They should be planted 2 feet part, fed liberally and pruned moderately but regularly. SIMPLE SANDWICHES TASTY FOR AFTERNOON OR EVENING Sometimes the busy housewife has not the time to prepare a great variety of sandwiches for the afternoon and evening party but would like something unusual, yet appetizing to everyone. Grate some chese and mix it with butter. Add a little mayonnaise and sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Mix well.

Cut out squares, cubes and thin slices of bread and toast. Then put your mixture over them. Another novelty in taste and appearance is drained pirniento, sliced It may be placed on your bread squares with a thin slice of cheese on top. Cover with a little flour and fry in butter. You can make your toast first and then cover with the fried spread.

QUICK WAY TO SHORTCAKE A new puff paste, recently placed on the market, is useful to women who haven't time to make homemade shortcakes and patty shells. The little biscuits, packed in airtight containers, can be split Into as many layers as desired, covered with fruits or berries and served ft NEWS OF NORTHWESTERN ILLINOIS IN if 0 TRAILER THROUGH -TRAVEL 3,800 MILES Mt. Carroll, 111., April Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rlchtcr, of this city, who have Just returned from a three months' trip In Florida have amply demonstrated how such a trip may be taken in an economical and comfortable manner with a small car and a well equipped trailer, The couple passed the winter In warmer climes, living in the trailer, which was constructed by Mr, Richter and they plan to make mnny mofo similar excursions in the years to come.

The home built. trailer has every appearance of being made by some company which specializes In such construction. It Is 20 feet long, 6 feet wide and 8 feet high and streamlined. The exterior is aluminum with trimmed molding and covered with brown fabricrold, an imitation leather, which withstands the ravages of weather. The interior reminds one of a well laid out, cheerful one room apartment every necessary convenience.

In the rear is a small, compact kitchon which has a sink, a gasoline stove for cooking, a kerosene stove for heating purposes and an electric hot plate. Wired for Electricity The trailer is wired for electricity and may be plugged in for 110 volts where the current' Is available. There are four electric fixtures in the trailer which supply plenty of light. The lights may also be run from the car battery, since it Is now possible to obtain bulbs which will light with 8 Volts (the amount furnished from the car) and which will still fit into the regular fixtures. The kitchen has an ordinary faucet giving the occupants running water which is supplied from a tank placed in a specially built compartment.

Naturally the tank must be kept supplied with water in order for the faucet to operate. The trailer has a roomy clothes closet with a full door length mirror before which one can dress with all the comforts of home. There Is an ice box, a cupboard for groceries and dishes and the wheel houses over the trailer wheels are large enough in which to store various articles and when closed down are so constructed to make small comfortable seats for visitors. The trailer is edulpped with a folding table and, chairs which may be put out of the way when not in use. There is a comfortable studio couch which folds out to form a double bed.

Nine windows afford ample light and fresh air while the large door on the right side may be locked, partly open, to supply greater ventilation while sleeping. Travelled Through South Mr. and Mrs. Blchter travelled south to Miami last fall in their "home on wheels," through Nashville, Chattanooga and Atlanta and were able to make about 200 miles a day except at the start of the trip when snow and ice In Illinois slowed them down considerably. They trav- elled during the trip 3,500 miles without any mishap, not even a puncture.

Mr. Rlchter stated that stops were usually made at night near an oil station or on the oil station platform, He said that in Florida the people were trailer conscious and all tourist camps were ready and welcome to receive visitors and supplies were always handy. The couple did their own cooking and did not eat over six meals In cafes all the time they were gone. Two months were spent in Miami where the electric system was plugged In and every convenience was at hand. The Rlchters also visited Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Sarasota, St.

Petersburg and Tampa, Attend T. C. T. ConvcnUon Mr. Rlchter told of the annual T.

C. T. (Tin Can Tourists) convention held each year in Sarasota. He stated that they did not arrive there until the week following the convention but were Informed that there were 540 trailers comprising 1100 units present for the meeting. Both Mr, and Mrs.

Rlchter are firm believers that the only way to see the south and enjoy the facilities of fishing, bathing, golfing ana baseball in the winter is to go the trailer way. In that manner, they say, one can go when and where he wishes without the trouble of pack- Ing and changing hotels. Mr. Rlchter told of the mutual feeling of comradeship which exists between all persons traveling in trailers. Introductions are out of place and people visit back and forth at the camps as though they were old friends.

"Jesus Stands Among club, "He Club. Tho play which will bo presented following the concert will be "Barabbas" and the plot Is based on the Biblical story of Barabbas, tho thief, of whom the crowd cried to Pilate, release unto us Barabbas, but crucify Jesus." However, a warm bit of humanism is added to this age old story by tho introduction of purely factional characters and Incidents, as, for example, the little crippled daughter of Barabbas who Is healed by Jesus. The setting for the story is, of course, In Jerusalem In the home of Barabbas, the notorious thief, and tho emotional atmosphere is tease and stern overshadowed by the grim realization of the events which may follow. After the capture of Barabbas, who has been hunted down by the Roman soldiers, and during his sojourn In prison, his small daughter, Oleona is cared for by his sister, Anna. During this interval of Brfrabbas 1 Imprisonment.

Annals persuaded to tako the child to see tho Christ, A miracle Is performed and Cleona's limbs are made straight and strong. A beautiful climax Is obtained when, following his release by Pllato, Barabbas rushes home, and Is met by his small daughter, who flings her arms about his neck and cries, "Father, I have been healed!" In keeping with tho plot, the stage settings will be of a Biblical character in which simplicity and gracefulness will strike tho key note. The members of the glee club comprising the cost of the religious drama are: Barabbas, the thief Edmund Ulrich. Qalus, a Roman Heindol. Gardiner, Anna, sister of Earl Reed.

Carroll, April commissioners in Carroll county voiced their approval Friday afternoon of entering a setup to promote a county witfo project for Improving the roads from the farm to tho market. The entire plan, which Is still in formulatlvo will hinge on the receiving any funds from the $4,880,000,000 work relief bill. At this time there Is no prospect of money from any other source available for tho program. A preliminary survey made by Superintendent of Highways S. C.

Campbell with the fourteen township commissioners indicated that about 00 miles of roads could be worked Into tho plan. This would include 10 miles of heavy gradlnff work, 68 miles of light grading and 5H miles About TV4 miles of road under the supervision of the county would also be included, Jo Duvloss Originates Plan The farmer to market road Improvement project which calls for' labor to be.furnished by the emergency relief originated In Jo Daviess county where the project Is already under way. The plan was explained Friday afternoon by Olyds Buckingham, county relief admlnlstratdr 'and Charles Jenks, chairman of, thti county emergency relief committee to commissioners, supervisors and other interested persons at a. meet- Ing held In tho circuit court room in Mt, Carroll. Although the plan as to'pooling of equipment by the townships and the source of labor, could- be, ex-- plained, Mr.

The nar was a total wreck but Mr. Schwarz was hardly scratched-while tho numerous cuts suffered by his wife were not believed to be serious.

The accident occurred when Mr. and Mrs. Schwarz drove on to tha cement road from the Hartman general store and filling station Just north of the bridge, As They pulled on to the road their car was struck at the rear by one driven by Bverald Foltz also of near Ide'al which sent the Schwarz car through the rail and down the bank, Both cars were headed south at the time of the accident, Deputy Sheriff Ray Westfall was called to Investigate the accident, Vault Construction Starts Construction of the cement house on the lot back of the city hall was started this week. The house when completed, will be used to store valuable papers and records which are the property of the city.
