BY MARTIN CODEL. them, the “Forty Fathom Trawlers” plan to stage their regular weekly broadcast on the evening of March 26 directly from the deck of a fishing vessel on the Atlantic. Somewhat reminiscent of the time when the young rimenter, Guglieimo Marconi, brought new-fangled wire- less machine over from England to help report the ton yacht races for the newspapers, the stunt will furnish an- other example of radio’s utter disregard for place and space. Such examples have been provided in unusual abundance in recent months.

Dots and dashes flung into the ether by a code, crackling spark set aboard one of the vessels, carried the story of the races to those on shore. Special authority to operate tele- rhonic equipment on the short waves to carry voice and music from the deck of the trawler to & shore receiving sta- tion, whence it will be relayed over the network of the Columbia mfim System, has just been obtained by Pa Green, Columbia’s chief engineer.

Il Mark J £ S._ Fletc]:er ©opyright, 1930, by North American Newspaper Alliance and Metropolitan Newspaper Service. SYNOPSIS. Col. Engleden, formérly governor of Southmoor, is murdered. An inves tion by a mephew, Sefton Enoleden, and his law clerk, Johnson, reveals that dur- ing the colonel’s time at Southmoor two risoners, Snelling and Hardle, escaped. The theory is that the colomel had found the men and that they killed | rmer warder, Millwaters, who of Southmoor gives a description of the escaped convicts. Snelling had a birth= mark on hi ¢ wrist. Young Enple- den recalls that Sanderson, on whose estate the colonel's body was found, wears @ broad bracelet om his right The question arises, is Snelling Sanderson? Johnson thinks he is and that Hewitt, his butler, is Hardle, When an attempt is made fo verify this belief it is found that both men are missing. John Oates, Sanderson’s chauf- feur, tells of taking his master and a man unknown to him on @ mysterious dnve the night of the murder. A towns- man, Francis Silverstein, tells Johnson that Sanderson, with Sadler, the ‘town jeweler, and Bratten, a merchant. is perpetrating a financial swindle, and sug- ests that the colomel was murdered because he threatemed fo expose the froud. He is also comvinced that & ’ farmer named Beckett, who had ' known Sanderson very well, is one of the former prison warders through whose treachery the two convicts escaped. Capt. Shore- ham sees the man and. identifies him Settle, the ex-warder. Johnson sets out for Starrick Priory, Setile’s he sees Sadler and Bra: apparently preparing to make a getaway. He is joined by Silverstein. Together they disable @ car that they recognisze as one of Sanderson’s Them they await the arrival of Mallison. wrist. ‘m.

Come on, then; follow me along these shadows. And when I get down, you do the like; when I get up, you get up, now. But not a sound! If we're care- ful we may learn a bit more.” “He nmodded and I led him till we came in sight of the lighted window, to which I silently pointed. Gett! down on hands and knees and wriggling our way along, we reached the screen of bushes in front of the window and, after listening a moment, rose cau- tiously to our feet and peered through the leaves. And at what we saw I found it difficult to restrain a gasp of astonishment, for it was certainly not what I had expected to see. “There were now but two men in the room—Bratten gnd Settle, Sadler was Just What the Tired-Out Every person needs Vitamins A and | D—the vitalizing substance you are supposed to get {rom the various foods you eat.

So—what dol ou say?' el I say—come on!" said I ‘But— don’t forget that he'll probably show ht.” “‘No doubt!’” he replied coolly. ‘A man who'll do that'—he turned, with a significant nod at what lay behind the lighted windo ‘will not stop at— hullo, Johnson, by heavens!—what's pped my arm, pointing his pistol towards something that he had suddenly seen in the room.

Upper stories, you know—two at least. If there's any communication be- tween them and the rest of the build- ings—' “We ran outside and began to exam- ine the structure of the place. I had observed in studying the plan of the farmstead from above the ravine that a great part of house and buildings had been furnished out of the ruins of the old Priory. This pigeon-cote appeared to have been originally a building abut- ting on the cloister; for anything I knew it might have been a gateway, with rooms over its center arch. Any- how, it still joined on to part of the ruins, and I saw at once that if there some means of communication be- verstein. “‘One of us had better watch the front and the other the back,’ he said. ‘Why doesn’t Mallison turn up?

Don't you see! A doctor ought to see their bodies! There'll be nothing left for any s on. Come on while there’s time leave this man, wherever he is—he can’t get far.’ “We ran back to the house and to the window through which we had seen the two men, drugged or dead, and the sweeping flames from the kitchen, or whatever it was that lay behind the living room. The flame was still creep- ing and licking its way, but the two men were just where we had seen them, and so far untouched. There was a door close by, but it was locked and bolted; we had to go round a corner in search of another. We found one through which, no doubt, Sadler had passed on his way to the coach house; anyway, it was open, and we made our way into the house and through rap- idly gathering smoke to the living room and the two men. There we beat out the fire that was steadily gaining ground and looked closer at what we had come to rescue. “It needed no more than a touch to convince us that both men were d¢ stone dead! And Silverstein, always practical, turned to the supper table and caught up the bottle of spirits which stood three-quarters consumed there and, forcing the cork tightly in, put it in his pocket. ““That'll have to be analyzed,’ he said. ‘Look here, Johnson—or, rather, smell here!
