conscious that it had grown darker
and wetter. There was a grim smile
around his mouth
Of one thing he was sure. Curt
'Vallaincourt had really loved Ver-
onica Bigelow. Start with that fact.
He had binned his bridges, carefully
and conscientiously. Including
Shari Lynn? He thought so. Funny
what love will do for a guy. But he
must have been aware of his an-
tagonists — of their viciousness if
what he intended doing became
known. He was certain that he knew
of his danger.
ifcCale was silently deriding the
philosophizing he had been indulg-
ing in when he came abreast of his
own doorway. Just when it was,
that the first warning came, he
couldn't afterwards recall. He had
just looked up 'to see the lights of his
office gleaming faintly. He was
only a few feet from the doorstep
when it came—that intuitive message
from his nerves. He started to turn;
then thought better of it. Then he
began to run.
- The report came like a firecracker,
hard by on his •right. He beard
the sound of running feet. He felt
a ghastly blow near his heart. He
reeled, stopped in his tracks A low
whisper escaped his lips. He thought,
"Oh, God, this is how Curt Vallain-
court died. I wonder what went
through his mind—crawling up those
endless stairs?"
He was conscious of wrenching
himself upright agairist the door, of
fumbling for the bell.
After a thousand years, the door
swung open. Ann stood there. She
teemed far away in the dark. He
forced a smile.
"You're tight," she said.
"No." His own voice'sounded dif-
ferent and from way b ick some-
where. "I don't drink. You kngv
that. I've been held up." '
"Yeah—all the way home, I'll bet.

on't tell me you re jealous of
her." Hhe swayed, hardly aware of
this insane stalling.
It must have been then that she
saw pain glaze his eyes, bare his
teeth. She moved forward, sudden
terror striking her.
"Duke!" she gasped.
His legs gave way again. Slowly
he slid to his knees.
He didn't hear Ann's scream.
Once during the night, he became
conscious. He asked for water and
a phantom floated into view. It was
Ann. She held a glass of water for
him. Her eyes, he noticed were big
and filled with love for him and fear
for him, too.
"That's Ann,' he thought. "I'm

her. Pain seared his shoulder, He
groaned a bit coming wide awake.
"Behave yourself," Ann said.
"Good lord, did -you see that?" She
flung the morning paper on the
'floor. "The papers have • you at
death's door. Here, let me lift you
up a little."
She propped a pillow behind him
and sat down. There were deep
shadows under her eyes.
"Have you been here all night?"
he asked.
"Sure, why not?"
Just then the door opened and
Rocky stuck his head in. He grinned
broadly on seeing McCale awake
and sitting up.
"Doc Preble is here, nurse." He
dropped a curtsey to Ann,
"Preble!" McCale howled. "The
coroner! What is this? I'm not dead
—or am 1"
Ann chuckled. She did not look
too tired or harassed now that she
smiled.
"When you fell in the doorway
last night, you looked pretty dead
to me. 1 fainted. Rocky had the
two of us on his hands. Of course,
he simply let me lie there. With
the door wide open, I wasn't un-
conscious long. I came to and stum-
bled up the stairs to find he had
stretched you out on the office desk.'
What with Rocky beating his own
brains out and cursing that someone
had bumped off the boss, I dialed
headquarters. The homicide squad,
down to the last legman were here
in three minutes flat."
Preble looircd McCale over
shrewdly, examined the wound, and
rebandaged it in short order.
"You'll do," he said. "Stay in bed
for twenty-four hours. Don't want
Ail rafting a temperature. You're
a lucky guy. The bullet was deflect-
ed by the cigarette case you carry
in your upper vest. pocket."
"Was it a forty-five?" •
"Undoubtedly, from the nature of
the wound. If it hadn't been for
that cigarette case, it would have
ripped you wide open. Well, mind
what I say now. The girl needs
some sleep."
The telephone rang. Ann, pro-
vokingly placing the bedside tele-
phone out of his reach, and with a
smug expression on her face, went
into the outer office to take the call.
"That was Veronica Bigelow," she
said mattet-of-factly. "I had the
devil of a time before she'd trust
me with the message. She's upset
no end. It seems that Donlevy has
arrested Christopher Storm."
"When?"
"Last night or early this morning.
She's been trying to get the office
ever since, I suppose?"
"You suppose?"
"\Well, 1—I stuffed blotting paper
in the telephone bell last night. I
thought the ringing might disturb
your rest—the doctor said—"
"Get Donlevy on the wire," Duke
said.
Obediently she called police head-
quarters, only to learn that the homi-
cide man was on his way there at
that very moment.
In less than twenty minutes, the
lieutenant strode in in the wake of.

OK! OK!—Whence
The Abbreviation?
Constant use by old, as well as
young, i t recent years, has made
O.I. one of the most widely used
and familiar abbreviations of speech
in our language today, comments
the Huron Expositor.
In a book, "American Language,"
the author says: "The first known
use of O.I. in this sense appears
in the court records of Sumner
County, Tennessee, October 6,
1790.
"On that date, Andrew Jackson,
Esq., proved a bill of sale from
Hugh MeGary, to Gasper Mausker,
for a negro mail, which was O.K.
James Parton in his biography
of Jackson suggests that what ap-
peared to be O.K. in the record
may really be a poorly penned
O.R., which was the abbreviation
for Ordered Recorded, Apparently
O.K. came into general use after
Jackson was elected President."
But despite its hoary age, we
still don't see any sense in it.

More Than Love
DEAR ANNE HIRST: I've stop-

* because my family talked me into

* because he quarrels with me so
* much. He does have a lot of tem-

* Since he left, I make better -grades-

her to a life

and they know she would be snore

to PASSION OR LOVE?
it is not to be expected that a
young girl can distinguish between
passion and love. She thrills to car-
esses, her awakened emotions de-
clare this is what she was made for.
There may be nothing in common
between .he two except this physical
magnetism, but to her it seems love
itself. She does not know (and
would resent being told) that she
would react to almost any other pre-
sentable young ratan in the same
exciting way. To her he now appears
as .the only one with that magic
glamor—and so she pictures their
marriage as just one long life of
the same ecstasy.
Marriage, such as this one would
be, -doesn't work out that way. The
thrills grow less, the allure is dim-
med, And the girl finds herself tied
to a youngster with a bad temper
who spends his time trying to snake
her over He is fractious and selfish,
impatient and dominating. He "never
forgets a thing" she did that dis-
pleased hint, and their life becomes
a series of sordid scenes which
shame them both. Then how she
wishes she had listened to her
family!
In no other assocratiou is the need
for restraint and patience, compro-
mise and forgiveness, so necessary
as in marriage. It is not for those
wino do not understand these essen-
tials. Only a deep and understanding

ing desire for each other's happiness,

dem Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. Should the hostess plan some
entertainment for each day of a
house party?
A. Yes; to make the house party
a success, this should be done.
However, some free time should
be left for the guests to do as
they please, usually the morning.
Q.• When two women are driv-
ing, IN enters the automobile first,
the hostess or her guest?"
A. The guest
Q.• Is it customary to tip the
coat -room attendant of a dining
room?
A. Yes; the usual amount is
ten cents, more if desired.
Q. When autographing a photo-
graph, should a girl add a few
words of sentiment to the sig-
nature?
A, Not unless her fiance, or some
very intimate friend, has asked her
to do so. Just the name "Mary"
is far better than to inscribe some
sentiment, and then regret it in
later years.
Q. Should a woman who ;s
smoking observe the sante courte-
sies as a man?
A. Yes; she should be careful
not to drop ashes all over the rug
or blow smoke into another's face.
Q. I -low are guests invited to a
christening?
A. By telephone or an informal
note.
Road Accidents

BULLETIN
Rodeo Attracts
Srtitdent Drivers
There's to be a high school
"Rodeo" at the Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition this year su-
pervised by the Toronto City
Police and the University of
Toronto Safety Division. Open
to all Canadians between 16 and
18 years of age who hold temp-
orary or permanent' drivers' li-
censes, this safe -driving com-
petition is being sponsored by
the C.N.E. in the interests of
traffic accident prevention,
Of the licensed drivers in
Ontario under 18 years of age,
738 were involved in traffic ac-
cidents in 1946. There were
75 deaths as a result of these
738 teen-age accidents, accord-
ing to safety records.
Basic skill safe -driving tests
are recognized as one of the
most effective ways to prevent
traffic fatalities. Proper driv-
er -education when the student
is learning to handle a car
makes for safety among new
drivers who are Canada's po-
tential drivers for the next 50
years, it is pointed out.
A test - driving diamond will
be set up just inside the Princes'
Gate at the C.N.E. where, on
Sept. 4, finalists will have to
demonstrate their driving abil-
ity by taking the various safe -
driving tests on the spot. Stand-
ard model cars will be supplied,
it is explained.
Two sets of cash prizes will
go to the best three boy drivers
and the best three girls at the
wheel. Entry forms must be
returned to the C.N.E. not later
than July 1.
Cover Burns
First-aid treatment of burns con-
sists in covering the affected area
and keeping it covered until compe-
tent medical attention is obtained.
Burns are sterile when sustained, but
they may become infected by careless
handling immediately afterwards.
Do not attempt to alleviate pain by
applying an ointment. Only sterilized
dressings, such 'as a doctor will ap-
ply, should be used, and first -aiders
are urged not to remove clothing or
expose the burned surface mean-
while.
Why The Scarcity
Of Stewardesses?
What happens to good little air-
line stewardesses? They get mar-
ried. And te:o quickly, United Air
Lines said in New York, as the
line issued another appeal for girls
to become stewardesses, The com-
pany said its girls stay only art
average of eighteen months before
they leave to get married. Girls
must have a year of college and
a year of business experience; or
;:.•,•ars of college.; or hold a
registered nurse certificate. ,They
must be between twenty-one and
twenty-six; between 0 feet 2 inches
and 5 feet 7 inches; weight a maxi-
mum of 135 lbs. '"The poundage
must be distributed proportionally,"
the line said, wondering why
stewardesses get married so quickly.

Lime deposits in any cooking uten-
sil can be removed by boiling strong

which cream of tartar has been
