I asked as I pushed closer to the rail. Young Doc Warren, several an- I swered at once. IAAPROMPTU By FLORENCE BAUCH Another said, seriously, Thats right My boy knew him. He wasn't a coward. If hei in that lake he was murdered. A siren wailed and the crowd fell back to make room for another patrol car which drew up alongside the green sedan, "Theres Old Doc Warren, someone in the crowd said as an elderly man stepped out of the car. I worked my way toward the cars. I could hear Old Doc Warren talking. "Yes, this is his car. He has been working hard too hard, but what doctor hasnt these days? So far as I know he has no enemies, but I dont believe my son would commit suicide! There was another stir of excitement. I threaded my way back to the rail to see if this time tiey had really found him. The boys in the boats were having difficulty hauling in the lines, but when the catch broke water we could see it was just a log. As they dropped it back the shrill whistle of the interurban reminded I had never seen young William Warren, but I knew about him the whole town knew about him. He had Joined the army with our National Guard. The boys were still singing his praises. He had been through a lot at the front and had won the complete devotion of his men by his untiring efforts and unceasing good humor. He had re turned to his father's clinic almost Immediately upon his return to tha States. I had heard little about him In recent months. What about tha woman they were dragging for yesterday?" asked. t "They found her earlier thia - morning. Plain case of suicide. But when the boats were coming in to the dock over there by those willows they found a mans hat. It had his name Inside William Warren. And about the same time, another put In, the police find this ear on the bridge, out of gas and nobody around." He pointed to green sedan that several officers' were shaking down. "They find drivers license on the steering post in the name of young Doc Warren. They figure something has happened to the. Doc, so while they radio headquarters for a check the boats lower the grab hooks and start working again. I edged my way over near a couple patrolmen who had arrived from headquarters. Calls to Doe Warrens home, his office, the two hcepitals, all brought the same response: he wasn't there. His wife had told tha officers that ha had left home early, before she and the children were up. He had come home late after an emergency operation, seemed unable to tela, and had spent a restless night She had awakened while he was dressing and asked if he had a call. He explained that he was just going out to clear the cobwebs from his mind. He had kissed her goodby. She had thought no more about it until the police called. I moved back to the rail to watch tha boats as they trolled slowly toward us, the grappling hooks searching , the lake bottom In the lane between them. Tha water was plenty choppy, a cold raw wind had been blowing out of the north since yesterday. Nothing about tha scene seemed urgent. TTi boats moved lowly.

His wifs had a baby thia morning, a week before she waa expecting it! Just then Phil' came out of the living quarters in the back with another young man. Phil waa beaming like the traditional proud father as he pulled his hat down firmly. The other man didnt seem excited. I heard Phil say, Hey, Doc, you forgot your hat. He turned to go back. But the other man laughed. You were too excited to notice that I didnt have one when I walked in here for gas. The wind blew it off as 1 stepped out of my car on the bridge." t ' t .

The ham Is easy to prepare and always popular. For small groups, buy half a ham, but decorate it, too. You may buy the ready-to-etype Whichever or the one you select, however, keep It refrigerated.
