He bellows about the British onee a week and he is certainly singuâ€" larly successful 4n grabbing newsâ€" paper space for his frequent fulminaâ€" tions. This is accounted for in two ways. One is that he plays the "Monâ€" day morning game," which means he ‘selects Monday mornings, on which newspapers, as a rule, are less crowded than other days, to release his statements. ‘The other is because of his extraordinary perslstency‘ an. idea of which can be gained from the remark of an old Chicago politician who knows him well.

Propaganda as to the advantages of trade with theSoviet is a poor brand of trickery through which the Reds hope to finance their communistic schemes.

Dolly Fay slept in Douglas Rayâ€" nor‘s room, and though she was asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow, Nan Raynor in the adjoining room was busily moving about for a long time. But when at last sheer exhaustion made Nan fall into troubled slumber as daylight began at dawn, Dolly awoke refreshed and alert. f _ _"Oh, that‘s all right. I pinned a note on my pillov‘, telling her I had come over here." Fraser, the courty examiner, gave a few more instructions to the detecâ€" tive and went away. l "There are strange deve®>pments in this case," he said; I suggest, Mr. Dobbins, that you defer your further questioning until moxtiing.

My brother and his wife were both uncongenial and unhappy. They had few, if any, tastes in common, there was constant friction, even quarrels." Nancy Raynor looked at Miss Matâ€" tie with a cold scorn that would have withered a less belligerent nature. And then the medical examiner came in from the other room. I "Ahâ€"certainly." The detective was at a loss just how to carry on kis grilling process. "You held your husâ€" band then in high esteem?" "Indeed, yes, Mr. Dobbins."
