There was a grim smile around his mouth Of one thing he was sure. Curt Vallaincourt had really loved Ver- onica Bigelow. Start with that fact. He had buined his bridges, carefully and conscientiously. Including Shari Lynn? He thought so. Funny what love will do for a guy. But he must have been aware of his an- tagonists -- of their viciouSuess if what he intended doing became known. He was certain that he knew of his danger. McCale was silently deriding the philosophizing he had been indulg- ing in when he came abreast of his own doorway. Just when it was, that the first warning came, he couldn't afterwards recall. just looked up to sce the lights of his office gleaming faintly, He was only a few feet from the dookgtep when it came--that intuitive message from his nerves. He started to turn; then thought better of it. - Then he began to run. The report came like a firecracker, hard by on his right. He heard the sound of running fect. He felt a ghastly 'blow ncar his heart. He reeled, stopped in his tracks A low whisper escaped his lips. He thought, "Oh, God, this'is how Curt Vallain- court died. I wonder what went through his mind--crawling up those endless stairs?" : , He was conscious of wrenching himself upright against the door, of fumbling for the bell After a thousand years, the door swung open.

He started to put an arm about her. Pain scared his shoulder. He groaned a bit coming wide awake. "Behave yourself," Ann said. "Good lord, did you see that?" She flung . the morning paper on the floor. "The papers have you at death's door. Here, let me lift you up a little." ' ' She propped a pillow behind him and sat down. There were deep shadows under her cyes. "Have you been here all night 2" he asked. "Sure, why not?" Just then the door opened and Rocky stuck his head in. He grinned broadly on seeing McCale awake and sitting up. "Doc Preble is here, nurse." Hé dropped a curtsey to Ann.- "Preble!" McCale howled. "The coroner! What is this? I'm not dead --or am 1" Ann chuckled, She did not look too tired or harassed now that slie . smiled. ; "When you fell «in the doorway Jast night, you looked pretty dead to me. I fainted. Rocky had the two of us on his hands. Of course, he simply let me lie there, With the door wide open, I wasn't un-' conscious long.

Preble looked ~~ McCale- over shrewdly, examined the wound, and rebandaged it in short order. "You'll do," he said. "Stay in bed for twenty-four hours. Don't want you running a temperature. You're a lucky guy. The bullet was deflect- ed by the cigarette case you Farry in your upper vest pocket." "Was it a forty-five?" "Undoubtedly, from the nature of the wound.. If it hadn't been for that cigarette case, it would have ripped you wide open, Well, mind what 'I say now. some sleep." The telephone rang. Ann, pro- vokingly placing the bedside tele- phone out of his reach, and with a smug cxpression dn her face, went into the outer office to take the call. - she "" "That was Veronica Bigelow, said matter-of-factly. "I had the devil of a time before she'd trust She's upset no end. arrested Christopher Storm." "When?" "Last night or carly this morning. She's been trying to get the office ever since, I suppose?"

The two of them so big, but so different,bulked hugely in the doorway, Donlevy, with a muttered greeting to McCale, flung himself into a chair. Crevices of fatigue and worry lined his face. (To Be Continued) OK! OK!--Whence The Abbreviation? Constant use by old, as well as' young, ii recent years, has made O.K. one of the most widely used and familiar abbreviations of speech in our language today, comments' the Huron Expositor, In a book, "American Language," the author says: "The first known use of OK, in this sense appears in the court records of Sumner County, "Tennessee, October 6, -1790. : g "On that date, Andrew Jackson, Esq, proved a bill of sale from Hugh McGary, to Gasper Mausker, _ for a negro man, which was O.K. James Parton in' his biography of Jackson suggests 'that: what ap- peared to be OK, in the record may really be a poorly penned O.R., which was the abbreviation for Ordered Recorded.

"Out of the life of Israel, despite wars, peril, \ suffering, waste, and destruction, has come the richest literature that the world 'has known--the Scriptures upon which Our Lord was nour: ished, and which, He said, He had come to fulfill, . It is the spiritual miracle of history that out of times of ruth- less war should have come the magnificent dreams of peace, re- corded in such passages as Isaiah 2 and 35. The times were crude and full of danger. The perverse - and evil-minded set up altars of idolatry, Therc were false proph- cts as well as the patient, suf- fering, irrepressible prophets of the Lord. * * * Some kings. themselves were false leaders, doing evil in the sight of the Lord.

The size of written words gives an indication of the temperament - -of the writer, Small writing shows a good power of concentration and fove of detail. Depending upon other indications in the writing, small writing may mean an analyt- ical type of mind with thé ability "to think quickly and draw rapid conclusions, Strong indications of individuality usually accompany small writing. If the letters are of 'an cven height it tells .us that the writer is neat and tidy, and fussy about his surroundings. Large spacious writing reveals that the writer is extravagant and may have a weakness for being too generous. Such writers seldom -specialize in any form but rather generalize in whatever they do. Depending upon other factors in the writing, large . writing 'may show a restless nature that sel- dom settles dawn to do one thing well.

It-is not to be expected -that a young girl can distinguish between passion and love. She thrills to car- . esses, 'her awakened emotions de- clare this is what she was made for. There. may be nothing in common between ithe two except this physical magnetism, but to her it seems love itself. She does not know (and would resent being told) that she would react to almost any other pre- sentable young man in the same --exciling way. To her he now appears as the only one with that magic glamor--and so she pictures their marriage as- just one long. life of the same ecstasy.' Marriage, such as this one would be, doesn't work-out that way. The thrills grow less, the allure is dim- med, And the girl finds herself tied to a Youngster with a bad temper who spends his time irying to make her over. He is fractious and selfish, impatient and dominating, He "never forgets a thing" she did that dis- pleased him, and their life becomes a series. of sordid scenes which shame them both.
