He is shot in the library of his home on his is- land estate off the Californ coast. Anatole Flique, a Parisian detective, does not notify au- thorities until he gets clues of his own from dinner guest a “game of murder.” The st is told by Allan Hunt, who came to review Parados’ art col- lection. Everyone in the ho is under suspicion. Caroline Brent, who has captivated Hunt, is the first to teli her story. Samuels, the deputy at- torney, asks the others to plain their conduct between 6:30 and 7 o'clock that night, when the murder was com- mitted, Chapter 9 AT HIGH TIDE Taking out his notebook, Sam- | If to the group uels addressed hir “I want to know of the rest of you between G 9, Mrs. Pa 05." “I was in my room dressing for | dinner,” she explained coldly. “Man- ning was with me.” “That right, Manning?” “Indeed it is, " Manning's voice threatened to become hyst ical. “I was busy every minute ‘ You must belicve me, sir!” Man- ning clasped her hands imploringly. | “All right, Manning.” He ap-| praised Miss Jahries Name “Anita Jahries, housekeeper “Where were you between half- pa and seven?” v “In my room' resting.” *You must believ2 me, sir,” “Any one with you?” | Miss Jahries seemed calmer now. “Mr. Annersley was sitting on the north terrace.

It's only a couple of hundred yards from the tower to the house, but it’s a mile around by the head of The Gut, and that means 15 or 20 minutes walking. The professor was in his room.

The Supreme Court has noth- ing to do with laws that are passed unless a case involving them comes up from a lower court. These at- tacks on one of the branches of government entrusted with certain guarantees is dangerous to our freedom and liberty. We take a tremendous interest in education, concluded Mr. Faulk- ner, and it behooves us to stop and consider if our form of government is secure.
