FRIDAY, MARCH 6,. 1936. BOOMER ANG co 8 SYNOPSIS: Bobby Jones and Frankie Derwent are trying to dis- cover whether the man Bobby found murdered was Alan Carsairs, and whether the murderer was Dr. Nicholson, or Roger Bassington- Drench. Bobby has explored Dr. Nicholson's drug cure, and found suspicious circumstances, not the least of which is the woman in dis- tress who now is calling on Bobby —whom she knows a3 Prankie’s chauffeur. Frankie just has re- turned to the Bassington-ffrevch house from a trip to London.

Non- sense! You did quite right to come. Of course you should have come. And Vl do anything—anything in the world to help you. Don't be fright- ened. You're quite safe now.” The color rose a little in the girl’s face. She said abruptly: “Who are you? You're—you're—not a chauf- feur.

Everything’s going to be all right. You're safe now—with—with a friend. Nothing shall happen to you.” He felt the answering pressure of her fingers. “When you stepped out into the moonlight the other night,” she said in a low hurried voice, “it was—it was like a dream—a dream of de liverance. 1 didn’t know who you were or where you came from.
