But on the way to Allaire’s Washington house Terry has found Puff Har- rington, whose father is a senator and given to making speeches on sugar beets. And Puff has fallen hard for Terry, and right now ts taking him on around of New York night clubs, Four young and plas- tered college men have decided to take Puff dway from Terry. Chapter 27 SHORT AND SHARP ‘HE man took the girl's hand. “Ob, don’t be a nuisance,” said Puff. Willett stood up. “Behave yourself,” he directed. “Who're you?” “Nobody you know, but | think I've seen enough of your face.” That started it. The three at the bar piled in. Willett saw that he was being mobbed and broke a chair over Christy's head. Ned tried to tackle him football fashion and nearly had his brains knocked out by the piston- like action of a knee. Willett fought as he had in the Coliseo in Propionoire, grimly, dead- ly, ruthlessly. Waiters came running, people * yelled above the blare of the orches- tra, and finally all the members of the orchestra deserted their music *.“aud stood on their chairs to see bet- ter. Police came in and the four foot- ball players went groggily off to Night Court. Puff, Terry, and the Manager went along too. Names and addresses were re- quested. Puff gave hers as Jane Browning, Hotel for Women, to cover any possible embarrassment to the United States Senate. On the manager's testimony the four football players were stuck with charges of disorderly conduct and everybody else dismissed. And the Manhattan sky was tinted with erimson as they rolled homeward, Puff’s head upon his shoulder. “Have fun, darling?” she asked sleepily. “Sure,” said Terry. “Lot's of fun.” But he hadn't. Two lousy evenings in a row, that’s what it had been. Even the fight hadn’t been particu- larly exciting. He guided Puff to her room and she stood on tip-toe to kiss him good- night. “Still Galahad, darling? Yes, 1 see you are. Oh, well—'night!” In his own room Willett lit a cig- aret and stood thoughtfully at the window, smoke curling up between his fingers. The first flow of the new day's traffic was beginning and the sun was creeping up the facades of © the uildings,- ant somewhere-a girl was asleep who'd made him feel he was missing something in life. Missing what? He'd been offered a lot of things today. Or was it yes- terday? Yes, it was yesterday. Today was tomorrow. That didn’t sound right either, Go to bed, you fool, you don't know what you want. AYBURNE WEST had dodged unpleasant issues all his life. His standard was comfort and he had been equipped to maintain that standard by reason of a good con- stitution, a reckless carefree nature, and a fortune. A sizable corps of doctors and ath- letic trainers had charge of his health and a legal staff absorbed any worries about his estate. But the arriva: of Ramon LaMarr that morning should have been defi- nite proof to Ray that he couldn't dodge things he didn’t like forever. LaMarr had discovered where he was through the butler at Westlands and when he walked into Ray’s suite at the Racquet Club it could have been considered a piece of unmiti- gated insolence. LaMarr had been in constant at- ; tendance on Nell West all through * South America and Ray knew it; he'd been indiffercnt -because he'd * found a great deal to interest him * as far as he was concerned and be cause he and his wife had long since followed their own separate inclina- tions. But when LaMarr told Ray what he had to say his insulence was ab- solutely anmistakable, recognizable even to a man who's been previously indifferent. He tried to freeze La- Marr out as though he were an im- pudent valet, but LaMarr held his cards and played a smiling, unruffied game. “You're one of those things that crawl through muck, LaMarr,” he said finally, as coldly angry as he'd ever been in his life, “but it’s your damned gall that gets me. | always knew you were an adventurer and gigolo, but | didn’t dream you were such an out-andout.swine.” 9; 4 | LaMarr séighed»;with weary pa¢ tience. “We accomplish nothing, is it not to?” he saith “Pléage do not be melo- framatic, Mr. West. I have some ation that could be very unpleasant. Your daughter has killed a man. Do you or do you not want that to get out?” “1 don’t believe it.” “Really?” said LaMarr. “I had thought I made myself clear, but you will ask her yourself, perhaps? And be quick, Mr. West. For my own rea- sons I am giving you but two days to decide.” “How damned noble of you,” said Ray scathingly. “I suppose you real- ize this has to be taken up by my lawyers?” “That, I presume, is a natural course. Shall 1 communicate with | them or with you?” “With them, of course. I don't want anything to do with you. No— wait. I'll see Allaire first.” “And then?” “Then I'll tell you what to do. Now, clear out.” LaMarr bowed. “1 will get in touch with you later today or tomorrow. May | remind you?—two days. I am sorry to be so abrupt; believe me, it cannot be helped.” He left and Ray sat back, breath- ing a little hard, and acknowledging a fact that he had tried to ignore for a long time—namely, that as a His daughter had run wild and Heaven only knew what she'd do next. He had to find her and find her fast. He called his wife's home in Wash- ington and asked for Allaire. She wasn’t there. She had gone out two nights before and had not returned, nor had she left any word. Then Ray got busy with a ven- put through calls to the Covington Hunt Club and Camberwell Springs Country Club, two favorite haunts of hers, where she sometimes went for weeks at a time. While they were calling, Ray called Westlands. His butler told him that Allaire wasn’t there either. The attendants reported their respective verdicts; neither of the clubs had seen Miss West for months. AY began to perspire. He put through another call to his wife. Her sleepy voice over the wire near- ly maddened him. “Nell? Where, in God’s name, is Allaire?” “Haven't the slightest idea,” she returned. “You know how she bobs off places.” “I have to find her right away.” “Why the paternal anxiety all of a sudden, dearest?” his wife drawled.. “This ig Bomething mew, i8n't it?” * “Something new bas come up,” he told her tersely “Your dashing friend LaMarr has just found out she shot somebody in South America—” “Ray! What on earth are you say- ing?” “I'm speaking English, Nell. She killed a man in South America and he’s asking for thirty thousand dol- lars to hush it up. He’s giving me two days and then the story goes out. I've got to find if the story is true. If it is, we can’t let it ride. Come on, see if you can’t pick up Al- laire’s trail somewhere. I'll hold on.” There was a silence on the other end of the wire. Nell was evidently thinking as deeply as she could with- in the bounds of her nature and early morning shocks. “I can’t imagine Ramon acting like that. Do you really mean—?” “1 mean he’s a skunk and every- body knew it but you, Nice speci- mens you manage to pick up hither and yon.” “I don’t like your tone, Ray, and you'd better change it—” “Oh, Lord, let’s don’t get into an argument. Let’s find Allaire. Can't you see that it’s important?” That percolated. “This is awful. It mustn’t get out. Heavens—!”" “Well, do something,” he said crisply. “Doesn't anybody know where she is?” “Wait. I'll see what I can find out.” He stewed around while she left the phone. Murder! That was a nice thing if it was true. Now that he re- membered it, his daughter had acted rather strangel) since her return from South America. His wife returned. “All I can discover from the ser- vants is that a man named Willett called on her that night and right after he left she went upstairs, changed from evening dress to sports’ clothes, and left too. She said noth- ing to anybody.” “What!” gasped Ray. “Do you think she ran off with him? That’sa lovely note. Here’s LaMarr black- mailing her and already she’s run O& wgith somebody else.

From the standpoint of appear- ance, the most important change is the adoption of an_ invisible speaker, mounied above the wind- shield. The sloping, rounded roof lines remain unbroken and listen- ers in the car have the benefit of ear-level reception. The set continues to be of six tubes, but with a number of chassis improvements, The chas- sis case has been shortened and made compact, fitting underneath the instrument panel and above the. stéering column, Sensitivity of the Ford radio {has been increased and its’ intern- al circuit filtering has been im- proved to keep out external intér- ference, such as that from high tension wires and street cars. For the city driver, especially, reception now is excellent. The speaker is of a new de- sign mounted flush on the header bar above the windshield. When installed it is completely out of sight, covered by the car trim. | The speaker cone has been re-de- signed to insure improved recep- tion throughout the scale, includ- ing high notes and bass notes. In- stead of having a three-point tone control, a constantly variable tone control is now. used. It is expected that in 1936 the volume of Ford radios will be ma- terially incréased owing to the; fact that every day more and more i motorists are turning to the use! of car radios, Subscribe to The Citizen—20c weekly, SPECIAL RATES LONG DISTANCE ’PHONE CALLS NEW OFFER PERTAINING TO SUNDAYS AND EVENINGS AFTER 7 O'CLOCK BECAME EFFECTIVE TODAY Special Sunday rates for long distance telephone calls and re- duced rates on person-to-person calls after 7 o’clock every evening became effective today, January 15.
