" were something up. Maybe he just| “ imagined that—sure he just imagined | + fipped off anybody. { B—8 By Charlotte Goodman. ARILYN was ‘waiting in the car at a corner on Connecticut ave- nue. She kncw just what to do. They bad gone over their plans together dozens of times, and there would be no slip. He stood at the gate for a moment, then walked quick- 1y along the ferice that inclosed the grounds in the cen- ter of which was the mansion. When he came to the bend hidden thick- ly in the shadows of the overhanging trees he quickly vaulted over the fence and then fell flat to the ground. He did not move, and there was no sound, no light. The house, he knew, would be in @arkness the family and all the serv- | ants but the old caretaker and his| wife were away, and those two were | in the car with Marilyn. They had planned everything carefully, know- ing just when the caretaker went out | with his wife and just where they went. They had planned everything so carfeully because this was the big- gest job of all, this would mean that Marilyn could have anything she wanted, whenever she wanted it. * x * % THAT was the way he would hold Marilyn because he didn't want | to hold her any other way. She was| a beautiful girl, and they tried to take | her away from him, but they couldn’t | because he was tougher than any of | them. Tougher and funnier. But what he lacked in looks he made up | in nerve. Marilyn knew that, and| she'd stick by him because he was the | one guy who could get her anything the wanted whenever she wanted it.| This job would prove that. He crawled slowly along toward the | building. Every few minutes he| stopped, listened, glanced about. There | was no sound, there was no one near. Things were going smoothly. In his pocket he had the keys he| had taken from the caretaker. That’s | the way he went into houses, with a | key. He didn't jimmy windows and | set off alarms, he was too smart for| that, smart enough to have kept safe | all this time. They had never come even close to catching him, and they | never would . . . * ko % ARILYN was there in the car with the caretaker and his wife. | They wouldn't harm them any, just| drive them out of town and let them walk back. The caretaker would never | know them if he saw them bacause of | their masks, and so there wasn't any- thing to worry about there. ‘The caretaker hadn't struggled at all, had surrendered the keys with- | out a word. Funny little guy, had a queer look in his eyes as though there | it. What else could it be? The care- taker hadn't any idea at all that it| was going to happen, couldn't have | So there was nothing to worry about | because he had watched the old house night after night and nobody ever came near it. He continued to creep forward through the darkness, drew nearer and nearer to the house, saw its outlines emerging more and more definitely through the shadows and the trees. * x kX IP’ SOMETHING should go wrong, if something strange and unreal hap- JAPANESE RATED HIGH Are Most Intelligent of Orientals, Tokio Professor Says. ‘TOKIO, October 26 (#).—Dr. Kani- In his pocket he had the keys. pened, what then? Marilyn with the two old people—she could get rid of them and get away. If they got him she would be away, free, in the world with others, maybe with some other guy, and he would be shut off from her, he would be behind bars, unable do get out! That wouldn't happen, that couldn't happen. Marilyn wouldn’t have nerve enough to duck out on him Besides, she didn't | want to. She knew | what this job would mean for her. She ! wanted the things he would be able to give her. | Yes, she wanted the things he could give her. That was the kind of girl | Marilyn was. He knew it and didn't | care. It was unreal for him to have a girl like Marilyn, a beautiful girl like her, good enough for the hand- somest guy that ever lived. He never | had much all the time he was a kid— | a little, dirty, ugly kid, selling papers | or shining shoes. It was unreal that' he should have a girl like Marilyn. * ok X X HE WAS almost at the house now. | He grew tense, alert, straight- | ened up, moved forward rapidly. He reached the door that was used by the caretaker. He glanced at the | lock and then at the ring of keys and knew at once which one to use. He slipped the key into the lock, turned | it, opened the door: There was a noise behind him of several men. He swung around and was dazzled by the play of several flashlights in his face. “Don’t move, and put your hands up.,” an officer commanded. He dropped his revolver and put up his hands. The officers took hold of | him. They were leading him back. He was too dazed to think. The unreal had happened, and Marilyn | Marilyn wasesuising slowly along, then she turned and came back. Again she went slowly along and then she saw the officers drive up and step smartly from the squad cars. She cut back, swung around a corner, stopped. She quickly moved to the back of the car, untied the old caretaker and his wife, shoved them into the street and then, jumping back into the car, sped away. * % * I KNEW that burglar alarm would get 'em,” wheezed the old care- | taker. | “Yes, but you pretty nearly forgot to turn it on when we was going out the gate. T always forget. Tell me again how it works, Samuel.” “Well, now I've told you half a dozen times. I don’t rightly know all the | details on it, but there’s some invisible light and those mirrors you see that | they put in? Well those mirrors re- flect the rays of invisible light all around the house. Then, you see, when somebody goes through that ray breaking an electric wire. Then that sets off some kind of a machine and that machine sets another one in operation, you see, and that’s the one that dials the telephone and calls the police so that they know a burglar is trying to get in the house. No, do you | understand it, Louisa?” | “Yes, now I understand it good. But | it don't get through my head, some- | how, because it seems so unreal. Like something unreal happening, this here | invisible light that makes machines call up the police. (Copyright, 1936, Coughs Relieved Right Away You want prompt relief.
