Lf it happened as I'm imagin- ing it, now—she might have heard exactly what passed between Mrs. Dryden and Vronski before the shoot- ing occurred. And remember Mrs. Dryden knew that the gun was there and that it was loaded.” Austrelitz nodded. “We must find | Mrs. Dryden as quickly as possible | ane bear what she has to say. That is imperative.” “Why?” asked Anne. i “The more we know, the better | position we'll be in if we should ul- | timately be implicated.

You know which relative she might go to for shelter in an einergency like this—or which intimate friend!” Anne nédded, but obviously she was not happy over the plan.

Afterward, we can begin the search.” “Come and dine at home with me, * countered Anne. “Mother has known Lorna all her life— knows all the fam- ily. She might have some sugges- tions.” “Right.” agreed Bigelow. They tock leave of the doctor and drove back together to the Phelps house. Walters heard the taxi stop and had the front door open for them before they had mcunted the steps. in the doorway Anne haltea, catch- ing her breath.

Baseball Statistics Those good people who go in for statistics figure that major league clubs will spend $600,000. for spring training this year.
