Not Phillipa. She wasn't the kind of person who would take- her own life under any con dition. She must have fallen." Zern was quite sarcastic. "Ac cidentally, after dark. Probably out picking daisies." Jeffrey said quickly, "I think we'll find it was a hold-up, just as I said." "And the guy brought her out here and dumped her over her own cliff," Zern barked. Jeffrey ignored him, "Straub, you'd better send out a teletype about picking up the car." Straub took the number and went into the morning room to the telephone. Zern grumbled, "Well, at least, we're agreed on one thing. It's murder." Fletth raised his head, and Mx. Willson said "No!"' " 'S funny," Zern said to Fletch. "You home on leave and your wife goes off and don't say a word to j'ou about it. No objection, I suppose, to our looking over her personal belongings." "No. Certainly not," Fletch an swered, and Zern, turning to Jef iiey said, '"Straub can do that, while I go look this quarry over. And ycu better get this family to gether for questioning." There was an "or else" under tone to his voice and you could tee poor Jeffrey squirming men tally. His answer was a poor attempt at taking command again, "Of course. I intend to." He started to make a list of the Deonle in the house and when he came to Dru's name, I suddenly remembered I hadn't seen her since she had gone to make arrangements about the picnic and I was annoyed. The telephone at any moment would begin to ring constantly and some one of intelligence and tact had to be on hand to answer it. Dm was the logical person and she should have Known that and been there. ALMOST as though I had willed Andrew answered it and talked briefly. He came back and said, "Newspapers. The chase is on." "We'll take care of those fel lows," Jeffrey promised. Then Dr. MacDonald came and Smith and he went upstairs and Jeffrey asked that all the family meet him in the library at 12. "And don't leave the house in the meantime," Straub added. It was quite apparent that he and Zern did not think much of the Willson household. I went upstairs at once to look for Dru. She was in her room, lying flat on her back across the bed, looking at the ceiling. I said, "Oh. So here you are," and I hoped she knew how pro voked 1 w-as. She cudn t move. "I feel as guilty as hell, Nana." "Oil, - isn't that nice," I said. "Straub and Zern -well be glad to hear it And just what makes you feel so guilty?" "I hated her, Nana. I wished she were dead. And she is. She isn't any older than I. She had everything to live for and she's dead." Her voice "was rising on an hysterical note 1 didn't like- feel as though. I had made one of those effigies and destroyed it and so destroyed her, or as though I had hexed her, or something." SHE rolled over on her face on is just lovely. I don't think there is anything like indulging in a good round of self-pity to help a situation. Particularly when the entire district attorney's office is sitting downstairs practically ac cusing Fletch of murder." It worked. She sat upright. That's impossible." She was very grim, "They can't say Fletch did it. I was with him last night." I swallowed hard and waited. but finally 1 had to ask "Where?" "He came n about 12:30," she explained, "and told me that he had an idea that Phillipa might have sent the children to Atlantic City. He came back to get his father's car because it had gas in it and his was almost out, and he wanted me to go with him. I tried to persuade him to wait until morning, but he was quite upset, so I dressed and we started." She kept stopping and wetting her lips nervously as she talked. "We were just past Camden when the storm broke and the wires in the car got wet. We liad a terrible time, and I finally persuaded Fletch to come home and we could telephone today." She reached for a cigaret and lit it "We can prove it too. We stopped at an all-night diner in Camden about past-past three and had' coffee. We 'were back "here at 5 " "What time did it start to storm?" I asked. "About 2:30." She looked at me rather puzzled. "Why?" "Nothing," I answered. But Betsy had told me it was a little after one. ' In that case Phillipa and Fletch could not have been as far as Camden, or. else Betsy had not been telling' the truth. " (To Be Continued) FARM LANDS and LOANS Searl S.

Plattsmouth Creamery ) 'Home of CASC0 i Butter' r oi A Message from p residen It is of the utmost importance that the Ameri can people understand the status and signifi cance of our new Regular Army. It will be the duty of this volunteer Army to help pro tect the frcetkmis and maintain the peace we have won at so great a cost. Atomic power lias increased rather than !Hrcascd the necessity for our preparation, Loth in manpower and material. In the coining; atomic asre, the United Slates must maintain its military strength to insure our national security and to promote world order. Such grave responsibilities obviously can not be met by anything less than the high est caliber of men. For this reason, I asked Congress for legislation to increase the op portunities of the soldier in the Regular Army. This legislation has been passed and signed by me, and is now in effecL - In serving his country, a man can now get good pay, education, travel and security with family allowances for his dependents and a newT 20-year retirement plan that com pares with or excels anything in American Congress authorizes most attractive Enlistment Opportunities in our History Truiiiaii industry. These, and the many other advan tages of the new Regular Army, should be made known to all our service men and their families. ; 4 The Army has embarked upon a world wide campaign to enlist enough men ta that, in demobilizing, we shall not slrip our services below the eacetiine need. It is imperative that public support be given to this program. We must replace as soon as possible men who have served long and arduously, and who -wish to return to civjl life. e must also build an Army of volun teers adequate to all our requirements at home and abroad until the long-range peace terms and military policies are worked out. I hope that every individual and group will give earnest and enthusiastic co-operation to this great effort to rebuild our Regu lar Army. The success of this campaign is vital to the performance of our tremendous task ot securing tlie peace. PRESIDENT 1 1. Enlistments for 1, 2 or 3 years.
