The Lord Mayor took the news to the Wakenshaw's dingy little tenement, and they planned a trip to Buckingham Palace for Mrs. Dorothy Ann Wakenshaw and her seven-year-old son, George, to receive the medal, The trip couldn't be made, Mrs, Wakensghaw said, Heir $11.50 weck- Jy pension couldn't provide proper clothes or shoes for George to present himself to the King. The» Lord Mayor started a "shilling fund." By today, it had reached £300 ($1,200) and still was growing, It will be used to home Wakenshaw and his wife bad dreamed about.

George will wear a replica of his father's uniforin, He will have build the regulation battle dress with the badge of the Durham Light In- fantry on his cap. "They tell me the King himselt will pin_ the Juoedal on George's. chest", Mrs. Wakenshaw said. "It will be a great moment. But I'm terribly frightened. 1 wish it were all over" Wakenshaw's citation told how -an -enemy- shell wrecked -his- gun position at Matruh., The rest of the crew were killed or wounded, and Wakenshaw's left arm was blown off. An Axis tractor, towing a gun, moved in on the gun position, Wakenshaw crawled to his own gun, and with his one good arm, Joaded and fired five more rounds, which get fire to the enemy trac- tor, and damaged the gun behind it. Wounded afresh, Wakenshaw pulled himself again. to his gun, placed one more round in the breceh and was preparing to fire it when he was killed. Airmen's Gardens Recent accounts of the produc- tive cfforts of R.A. men who are growing vegetables on plots adjoining acrodromes bring a note from a correspondent who has lately vicited several big R. A. I. Post, He speaks of acres of Win ter greens and trim rows of salad eropg, but he also describes charm- Ing little corners of color where ithe men have fashioned rock gar- - dens out of the virgin soil. In some cases former professional gardeners keep their hands-in by tending these gardens when off _duty, but many of the enthusiasts are men from city homes who never had the chance of gardening , before. 7 4 The phenomenon is not peculiar to this war. Captain W. E. Johns, the well-known gardening writer, geveral years ago gave a momor- able picture of Captain 'Albert Ball, V.C,, the first and one of the greatest of the 'early British air "aces", raising flowers and vege- tables for the squadron mess in between alr dogfights with Ger man flyers. "He even built, with his own hands, a small, primitive green- house," wrote Captain Johns. "Ar~ riving home, with shattered wings and bullet-riddled cowling, he would sit down and write home "for Beeds." Safety First! In a certain school in New York, notes The Christian Science Monitor, there was a teacher, an energetic advocate of "Safety First," who opened her class each morning by rising and asking: "Children, what would you do if fire were to break out in this building?" The children would reply in chorus: "We would riso "in our place, step into the aisle and march quietly- out of the building." . One morning when the children arrived at school they found themselves honored by the pres- ence of the well-known and be- Joved Dr, Henry van Dyke, The deachar stepped before the class and, instead of the usual fire drill question, said, 'Children, what would you say if I were to "tell you that.Dr. van Dyke is to speak to you this morning?" Instantly from the class came the resounding chorus: "We would rise in our places, step into 3 nisle and narch quietly out "of the building." She Leeds TYOYKshire = Make the most of your Tea..

O'BRIEN MURDER IN FERRY COMMAND SYNOPSIS Aboard a boat from Newfound- land to Canada, Clyde Dawson, Canadian Intelligence Department, finds a box containing the hand of Lemoy Statler, a spy who has been hangéd In Newfoundland for murder. Tracing him through the Paul Dexel, a-confederate of the hanged man in spy operations against the R. A. F., Bomber Ferry Command, Traces of ink show that fingerprints have been tak- en of the dead man's hand. With Dexel captured, Dawson proceeds toward Chicago, following the clew of Statler's cryptic note about a broken "reunion date" and a girl who looks like a famous actress. * . .

Dawson smiled to himself as he took a telegraph blank from the waiting messenger. It must have hurt the chief--a graduate of Scotland Yard's, famed Criminal Investigation Department--to ca- ble such a confession of frustra- tion, and Dawson pictured the . chiel's eyebrows lifting when he would read the reply: "Think nothing of it Chief STOP The missing hand is temporarily In cold storage at North Sydney while the play- ful lad who did the chopping is beihig detained by the Do- minion Intelligence Depart- ment in Halifax STOP Will explain fully later STOP Will be at Eddington ITotel in Chi- cago for few days if you wish contact with me Regards" The flight to Chicago was a By Anne Adams Anne Adams presents a brand new version of an old favorite-- the jumper--in Pattern 4160.

The Investigator folded his newspaper to enjoy the serenity divorced from a few hours from war and murder and hangings and the sorry panorama _of human tragedy. . The dean of State University received Dawson the next after- noon and got to the point fmmed- ately. "Now here's the story about Darwin Lemoy . . ." "Who?" "Darwin Lemoy, the man whose picture was sent to me by your department at Ottawa . . .)" So that was ft, mused Dawson. Lemoy Statler's real name was Darwin _Lemoy. "Well, Lemoy was one of the university's all-time, all-vonnd ath- letic stars. He was particuarly able in hockey , . ." : "Baseball too, perhaps?" "Oh yes, baseball too. Ho cap- tained a "championship diamond team, but it was in hockey that he won his brightest spurs. I even understand that at one time tho Boston Bruins and Chicago Hawks made him offers, but he said he wasn't interested in professional sport. But he apparently changed his mind later on because, after graduating from law school in 1920 'and practicing for a few years, we heard that he had- gone abroad to play hockey - for a Czechoslovakian team in 1935, Two years later, however, he attended a reunion here and starred in an 'Old Boys' versus 'Today's Boys' hockey game. We have the re- " "That makes one due this year --what month, dean?" asked Daw- son. "This month, in two weeks' time. But we had no report from Darwin Lemoy. The publicity com- mittee tried to locate him, but all letters came back. stamped with 'No Such Person at This Address. Perhaps you can give me some idea about what happened 2 "I'm sorry," replied Dawson quietly. "I cannot divulge any in- .. formation .except that he will not _ be available for this reunion. You may tell anybody that much but no more and, under no considera- tion, tell who gave the informa- tion. If I'm to keep my promiso about "secrecy you must recip- rocate, right?" i" «. The dean dismissed the matter with a wave of his hand. "The only other information I can give you is that I heard from a number of sources--mostly fel- low alumni--that they had grown rather irked with Lemoy. Appar- ently his Ideas had undergone some queer twists in recent si "In what way?" "Well, he seemed to defend the Nazi system whenever occasion arose, and appeared to have a plentiful and impressive array of | figures to back up opinions at all times." . The dean showed the investiga. tor a number of photographs. Le- moy Statler was undoubtedly Dar- win Lemoy. Numerous clippings acompanied the photos -- mostly 'from a sport column by one Fergie O'Meara. oo 0 Dawson took a taxi to the Chi- cago Star office, Fergie O'Meara, a kindlymannered Irishman, wheeled around from his type. writer. "I'm in an awful rush, bat I~ always have time for a friend of Darwin Lemoy's," he boomed at Dawson's single "sentence of in- ° troduction "Maybe you can tell me where the son of a gun ls-- ho's wanted for the 'Old Boys' game at Stdte on..." "Just a minute, Mr. O'Meara," Jaughed Dawson. "I can't tell you where he is--I'm trying to find that out, too. Being an old friend of the familly in town on business I thought you, as his most loyal historian, might be able to give some lead." "No can do. As a matter of fact, I'm a little hurt that he didn't drop me a note. We used to seo a lot of one another at college games, and hls friends were my friends , . ; "Then maybe this will prove the lead," cut in Dawson, taking the girl's pleture from his pocket, "Did you, by any chance, ever come ""acéros "this girt in company' with him?" 'O'Meara took one glance at the plcture and his eyes lit up: "Well, well , . , this picture is very fa- miliar to me. Last time I saw Le- moy-- it was a year ago or so-- the Star was running a Movie Double contest and he entered this picture, She was some girl he knew from Homewood--that's a suburb --and 1 remmeber he got a big kick out of it when she won the weekly cash award. |." Dawson concealed ness, 3 "MH she won a cash award that means your cashier will likely have "a record of her name and address 2 O'Meara was already on the phone. "I'll have it in a Jjiffy--it you get any news, give me a call, huh?" ' his eager- . LEE Ten minutes later Dawson was in a taxi bound for Homewood, his pulse quickening. Outside a conservative lime- stone house, Dawson paid the driv. | er and slowly mounted the steps, studying every external detail from force of habit. A tall dark _-woman In house- keeper's garb' answered the door- belt: -- -- "Is Miss Carole Fiske in?" he asked, fairly holding his breath for the answer. ' The dark woman glared at him before speaking. "Migs Fiske fsn't here." ' Dawson played a _ long shot. Lowering his voice he said: "I have a message for her from Ie- moy."" The dark woman seemed un- certain. Finally she opened the door. "Just walt In the parlor. She will ho home from the office In a short while , . "Office? Perhaps 1 could her up. Where . . ." The housekeeper spoke curtly: "The War Supplies Department does not permit callers--just wait in the parlor." 'Thanking her, Dawson entered. Abruptly Dawson tensed as he saw a framed photograph on the fireplace ledge. It was that of an American soldier--a sharp-faced man of about 28. There was no mistaking him--remembering fac- es was Dawson's forte.
