Hunter is Forgotfui

Her hand still lightly stroking the girl's smooth. bronsed cheek. Irena Smith said haltingly. "It seems as if...we...I-"

Her straight shoulders drew baek and she gave a peculiar sort of laugh. l-ler gray eyes no longer were questioning. Her hand drop- ped away. She asked, as though confused, "Where am It What's happened?”

Johnny sank blck on his heels and murmured softly. "The devill"

Kay could not suppress the sob that escaped her lips. She looked at Johnny Saxon and her eyes were damp with tears. she made a hopeless. weary gesture.

.1ohnny tried questioning the woman. It was useless. I-ler an- swers were vague. disconnected.

"I think,” he said to Kay, "we'd better take her home."

Dawn was just breaking when they reached the house. The sky was gray and overcast. What lit- tle breeze had stirred during the night. had now died completely. The air was sultry and close. The day was going to be humid and hot. as August days can be.

Kay used a key to unlatch the front door. They led Irene up the stairs and to her room. The entire

house was quiet, somber. Appar- ently everyone else was still sleeping.

Kay had been silently crying throughout the trek back to the house. Now she opened the bed- room door and watched her mo- ther disappear into the room. She turned to look at Johnny Saxon. He saw her bite the in- side of her lower lip.

He said. "We were close that time." He smiled. "shes likely to

Kay asked. "What could aha have intended. going to most this person named Bart. who she thoiuht was you!"

"It beats me." said Johnny.

”can't you find out what it is!"

"I'll keep trying."

"You must!"

"Why didn't you come down- stairs again tonight? I looked for you.'

"I couldnlt.” she kept her eyes averted. Her voice was trembling.

"Why not?"

"I...I've been so upset about mother. I went all to pieces Mo- ther and I have always been so close. The othera...they don't understand. There's really no one ..." Her voice died. She looked up at him. There was despair in her shining wet eyes.

"You poor kid," Johnny. t

Impulsively, she flung herself against him. Her hands clutched his arms and he was aware of the nearneaa of her slim. youthful body.

"There. there." he said quietly. "I told you I'd do everything I can. It's a very unusual case, you know." .

He wished he could make up his mind whether she was a child or a woman. She was so much of both. He wondered if he was thinking of her as a child as he kissed her gently on the forehead and urged her toward the door.

"You'd better try to get a little rest." he said.

"I'll stay with mother. going to leave her."

"But get some sleep."

she attempted a smile. "I'll try."

Johnny turned and went down the hall. The Great Dane, Mich- ael, who had been lying down on the floor, resting. climbed to his feet and followed him.

ANSWER: "Oh. what A tangled web we weave. when Ilrlt W9 practice to deceive!" And even though your deceit was more or less unintentional, it still has enmeshed you in difficulties not easy 10 untangle.

TELL HEB NOW

The only solution I can see is the obvious and, I will grant. very hard one. Your mother-in-law must be informed Justpas soon us possible of your daughter's existence, with whatever apologies you can make. You do not. have a reasonable excuse for not telling her soon- er. and in all likelihood she will be very much hurt. Just put your hope in the fact that she will be understanding about the situation, as she undoubtedly will, and that your daughters charm will win her over to happiness in having such a delightful grandchild.

When a sltualion like this arises. we are all too prone to believe that the "other party" will not understand. Fortunately, it aeldoni happens that way. Your mother-in-low will readily see how unhappy and sorry you are about not taking her into your confidence. The important faclor is: don't delay! The first thing you know. she will get the information from some other source. and then you really will have a problem on your hands. See her as soon as possible and get the whole affair off your chest.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My mother indulged mo in everythingl uanictl to do or have from the time I was a baby. When I grew up I married the best man I ever knew. but I forced him to keep the house. cook, scrub, do the laundry and care for the baby. I would frequently go to my mother's house and stay two or three weeks at a time without going home to my husband. He tried to defend him- self on several occasions, but with my mother's support I wouldn't let. him make first base. Now my mother is dead and my husband is making big money. He demands his freedom so that he may marry a girl he fell in love with during the time that I was enjoying myself making life miserable for him. What can I do now?

ANSWER: Nothing will undo the wrong you have done or give you back the place in your husband's and son": affection that you have forfeited.

No doubt your mother is more to blame for your conduct than you are yourself. but you are the one who will have to pay the price of her weakness and fully. And that is something that I always think of when I see mothers spoiling their children. I marvel that they do not see what a crime they are committing against the ones they ave.

DEAR MISS DIX: I rim 15 years old and very Tllllt'Il ill love with I buy 19. We were roins steady fnr two months when he called up and said he wanted to break up. He didn't think it was fair to me because lim still young. His mother is fond of me and mine of him, so theres no trouble there. lie hasn't called me since, but I know he goes in dances and parties sing and with his brother. He has no other dates. How can I not him to call or come over?

I W. E. T. i ANSWER? SinN' Muir boy friend has no other dates. I asaum.-I he still likes you. He sounds to me like a very considerate youtii who realizes that you are much too young to go gtgadv and 1, "yum to hide his time until you are a little older. You could have It social gathering at your house some night and invite him over, but don't do any further pursuing. Expand your own social life go to gum”: and have a good time.

gonna be a aoorobar if we don't get some rain."

"Isn't it, though?" Johnny said.

The mechanic from the North- port garage had just picked him up outside the trance to the smith estate. It was a little after ten oiclock. and since the day was Sunday, there was little traf- fic at this hour on Route It-A.. The car. an old Chevie roadli . sounded as if it would fall apart any moment. Johnnie asked him- self why it was that mechanic: who repaired miillonalrea' oars, always drove one of their own that seemed to be held together with ballng wire.

It seemed as if they had only started-Johnny noted that the speedometer registered less than a mile-when Ed slowed the car and turned off to the right into a dirt country road. He eased the car to the side of the narrow road and stopped.

"Well," he said. locking Johnnyusaxon. "here we are."

"You mean-"

The red-haired mechanic waved his hand. indicating a field along- side the road .”This is where they found Martin Smith."

They climbed out to the road- way and Johnny passed the fol- low a cigarette. "I always imag- ined it was several miles from here." the detective said.

"Nope," Ed said. "It was right here. Tough break for Smith. huh? A couple of minutes more and they would have been home."

The husky mechanic looked at him. squinting bright blue eyes. "By the way." he wanted to know, "I never did get the whole story about Smith's death. The family had enough influence to keep most of it out of the papers. He used to carry a lot of dough with him all the time."

"That's right."

"I mean was he shot?"

Johnny nodded. "Right through the heart."

"What kind of a gun?"

"They don't know. The bullet

was never found. The shot went

right through and out his back.

They probably made him get out

of the car and then killed him." (To be continued)

Venice is a unique city, built entirely on islands. and as all the streets are of water. all care are put up in a huge garage on the outskirts. The Grand canal. the form of an "8". runs through the entire city. into which flow forty-five canals, whose waters it conveys to the Adriatic Sea. We were told that in early times the nobility of Venice, in order that they might be enlisted in the. "Golden Roll", had to have a palace on the Grand Canal, so that many beautiful buildings were buut right on the water- front. These palaces represent all varieties of Lombard. Gothic and Renaissance architecture, and are all built of stone to withstand the water.

The bulk of the residents of Venice travel by river boats, which have regular stops along the can- al. like our buses. The more leis- urely mode of travel. however. is by gondola. The gondola is a long

curved adorn- ed with Jane! flltlraa. The rhythm and leisure of this mode of travel of a Greek is emphasised very pleasantly by the singing of

passengers accompanied by

awishing of the water. The gon- dolaa are manned by boatzoon in uniform dress-straw hats, dark

chiefs around their neck. With a gentle forward motion. men guide . 1 only one oar. with great dexter- n 1
