Spivak, author of %“Georgia Nigger.” The committee says Spivak “presents alleged photostatic coples of official prison records, indi- cating the use of double shackles, racks, ~barrels and other methods of torture. “Until disproved, these allegations constitute a basis for serious con- cern. * * * Meantime national pub- licity regarding them has brought the State into disrepute.” The Georgia Prison Commission has sleep.” “Look here, sport!” he said. “Do | you mean it?

Tiny sp still, but visibly agitated. as if people were running in the darkness near a clump of woods. Then & hundred yards further on, they could see the roof of a building, sil houetted against a flare which burst suddenly upon- the night. And in another mement the cause of this was apparent. Three cars were drawn up along the roadside ahead, and one of them had been overturned. From the lonely little Auberge, several people were running across the road toward the accident, and the two in the Europa leaned forward breathlessly, but none of the cars was the one they sought. Whoever had stumbled upon misfortune or perhaps death, it was not Santini and his companion, that much was plain as the Europa shot past “They seem to have all the help they need,” said Armand, relievedly, “and we have not time to waste.” But for -the moment Alacia did not reply. As they passed, a limp form had been carried from the ditch and untler the headlights of one of the parked cars, Alacia had caught a glimpse of the face. Somehow it puzzled her by its vague familiarity. Who was that man, and where had she seen hinr before? Even though the Police said they had learned Ma- loney conferred with an attorney and | that the lawyer advised Maloney to surrender before he was captured.

The old jeweier took 'Alacia | | by both hands and kissed her on the | cheek. | “My dear,” he said, “I am troubled | for you. The night, the late hour, and | this wild journey! I know you are in | good hands, but I would be happier if | you were remaining behind.” Alacia | laughed gayly. | ‘Don’t forget that I'm headed on | a much longer journey with the same | escort,” she reminded him, “and that, after all, I am the only one who has a right to stop Santini and question him. For one thing, I'm his publicity | director and, next to mother, his boss. | | Never fear, T'll think up an excellent | | excuse of some kind betwen here and | Auxerre!” Piron brightened visibly. | “That's it, use peaceable measures if | possible.” he cautioned. Then he seized | upon Armand and embraced him in the | French fashion. | “Eh, mon fils!” he exclaimed. “Fais ton possible!

The man | climbed into the driver's seat, and Alacia, snuggling into the place at his side, had a curious feeling that they | were the only two people in the uni- | verse who remained awake and in touch | with reality. Somewhere down the long | ribbon of road which led to the Medi- | terranean was the object of their search, as unreal and fantastic now, | as a figure in a dream. Even Armand | and herself, though of warm flesh and blood, seemed carried along in & phantom cer through a city of fantas- tic lights, peopled with stray ghosts in gleaming rain-soaked garments. Passing through back streets and deserted b ways, they crossed the ading out at last on the road to Fontainebleau on the stroke of midnight. Here there was_traffic enough; to be suce. The | road was dotted with lumbering carts, | ded it was not until an hour later when Auxerre loomed ahead, medieval and mysterious in the watery moonlight, that she realized who the man had been. Then she clutched Armand’s arm peril- ously as she cried the name aloud. The unconscious face had been that of Col. Bradley, his American guardian! Instinctively, Armand siowed the car down as he heard the girl cry out the familiar name. “Bradley!” he exclaimed. positive the injured man was Col. Bradley?” “Positive!” she was emphatic about it. “I saw him p'ainly.

Alacia, I feel almost as if we ought to turn back.” “Fifty kilometers?” she questioned, “whatever happened, he’s been looked after by now and heaven alone knows | 3 if we could even locate him!

The river had risen six-tenths of a foot since Monday night, and in places was only about 6 inches below the top of the levee. Sections in Arkansas were con- sidered in the greatest danger.
