‘PAGE FOUR “DOG-GONE LOT OF By CHIP ROYAL AP Features Sports Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—He’s only a little fellow — about 15 inches high — but he’s a champion of champions, this Norday Saddler! In the dog, record books, they call him Terrier. He has won 56 “best of shew” titles and sired. more than 20. champions, both records. He hes carned $10,150. war charities since Pearl Harbor.

MURDOCK TAKES A. CASE Chapter 48 Mrs. Murdock’s First “y ELL, I'll be damned. How do you like this? An order for seventy-five bucks—and listen: Sorry about the coat. Hope you can find another one to take its place, . . . Raeburn.” Fenner sighed and pocketed the papers. “Ym glad I didn’t tangle with him,” he said. “If they’got a few more guys like him down there in Caragua those Nazis are going to have rough going.” “You're right about that—damn him!” Hestor spoke curtly, but with- out bitterness. She uncrossed her legs under the approving glance of Fenner and stood up. She ad- justed her coat, tucked her bag and gloves under her arm and gave a tug at her hat. “Well—good-bye,” she said to Delia and Ward. “It’s been very interesting, you know. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.” She looked Joyce up and down, glanced at Murdock and back to Joyce. “I’d hang on to him if I were you. He’s a little stuffy at times, but he’ll do.” ‘Tl drive you home,” Fenner said. Hestor gave him a cool inspec- tion but Fenner’s grin was un- wavering and after a little more hesitation a spark of humor touched her eyes. “All right,” she said. “That is,” Fenner said, “if you don’t mind stopping off for a drink or two. We might even have a spot of lunch.” “Why not?” said Hestor. Fenner opened the door for her, and when he went out he winked at Murdock over his shoulder, “Well,” Ward Allen said when the door had closed, “I'll say this for her, she can take it.” “You know,” Joyce said, “I think I’m beginning to like Hes- tor.” Kent Murdock parked in front of the .apartment house and turned off the motor. “And now, Mrs. Murdock, if you don’t mind...” Harmon Coxe “Td like to know what you mean by disobeying me and turn- ing detective.” “But someone had to, my Lord.” “Yeah,” Murdock said, and grinned. “You're right there, and what a break for Ward and eae : “I didn’t want to do anythi alone, really. But at first Dells made me promise and later, when I asked if you’d help you said you wouldn’t and you told me I shouldn't either and—” “So you got your back up and said, ‘Nuts to this. If he won’t help Pll do it alone.’” “I called you at _Hestor’s,” Joyce reminded him. “If it hadn’t been for Raeburn I would have ale you when you came with er.” Murdock’s face sobered. “You | knew it was Thorndike.” “T didn’t know. Not for abso- lutely sure.” “When did you think of it?” “Not until today. At first I had no idea who'd done it. I was try- ing to help Delia, and all the trouble seemed to be about the | envelope. I think Hestor was the one I suspected: until you told me she couldn’t have done it.” Impulsively she leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the cheek. “I love you,” she said. He turned to her, his glance surprised at first and then a | tenderness melting his eyes as his arm went about her. - “I love you too,” he said, and kissed her. _ For long seconds she snuggled in the circle of his arm, finding his strength a tonic that chased away the strain and tension of the past few days. “Do you have to go to the of- fice?” “For a little while.” “Yes,” she sighed, “I suppose you do.” “I don’t think I'll be long.” He smiled and kissed her lightly and helped her out, following her to the entrance. “We should have some sort of celebration at that, shouldn’t we? For Mrs, Murdock’s first case.” “And for Mrs. Murdock’s last,” Joyce said. “So do hurry, darling.” “Yes. sir.” Joyce said primly.
