It was not Giles Benton. Could it possibly be someone Sally me from Warrenton, ‘who could be induced to take a mes- sage for her? Sally would not give up hope until she had exhausted this last Possibility. Helpless And Furious S Sally re-entered the living room of the lodge, she heard the car start outside. She rushed to the door im time to see the red tail-light @windling to nothing in the distance. ) So they had gone and left her alone » im this house in the woods. Didn't they know that she was young and strong, fully capable of making her ‘way along the dark road to the high- way? She shivered at the thought of that journey along the woods road in |) the dark. There was no moon and the mess was so thick Sally felt she ould have snipped a hole in it big @hough to look through if she had seissors sharp enough. This ss was like a thick black yy that was too smotheringly Suddenly a man stepped up to ly. She gave a little nervous start shrank back against the house. man moved again and the light on his face. It was Giles Ben- ! So only Mrs. Picard had gone y in the car. Won't you come inside, Miss War- =" asked Giles Benton. “The gen- who lives here is out just now, I'm sure he will not mind if we =, ourselves comfortable.” “I should like to get back to War- be here for some time.” “But you surely can’t intend to—to keep me here against my will!” “That's exactly what 1 propose to do,” said Giles coolly. “You know they'll search for me. We're very near Warrenton and they’ll find me almost at once. It's— it’s ridiculous of you to try to.keep me here!” Suddenly t" > Lig do. rose from the hearthrug and rushed out the door of the lodge. Both Sally and Giles Ben- ton stared after him, listening in- tently. The dog presently broke inte frantic, joyful barking and Giles re- laxed. “My friend who lives here is com- ing.” said Giles. “Before he gets here, 1 want you to write a note to your father, explaining that you have been called out of town by the case you were working on. Tell him you wili be back tomorrow afternoon. Ask him to call your office and deliver that message.” “T'll do no such thing.” cried Sally, “My friend out there has had a good deal of experience at forcing peopie to. do what he wants,” said Giles. “Mrs. Picard will bring my cat back in a few minutes and if the note ig not written by that time, she will have to call your house and deliver your message by telephone. Mean- while, you will be here alone with my friend.” By this time, Sally had built up @ terrifying picture of the man whom they could now hear approaching. talking to the dog as he came. ‘You Will Stay Tonight” 'UT instead of the villainous indi- vidual she had pictured. there ap- peared in the doorway a red-haired youth in rough corduroys. The big dog leaped upon the boy and licked his hands and bare arms. “What's the big eer demanded the newcomer. “Never mind, I'll talk if you later,” snapped Giles Benton rudely. “Will you take a lamp to one of those up- stairs bedrooms? Miss Warren will be staying up there tonight.” The boy stared at Sally with frank curiosity. Now that he had moved into the circle of lamplight, she had a chance to examine his face mce-c closely. It was predominantly a stupid face—the hair grew low on the fore- head, the eyes were small an‘ blue, the lips thick. Sally wrinkled her brow, trying to trace to its source a feeling that she had seen the figure before her at some other time. “Take the lamp up, Sam,” ordered Giles Benton. The dog growled. Sam patted his head to quiet him. Then, with a backward stare at Sally, he took one of the lamps and went toward the stairs. Giles Benton shoved some of the debris that littered the table to one side, and placed his pen and a sheet of paper on the cleared space. “I am waiting for you to write the letter 1 suggested,” he said. “And what if I do—what happens to me then?” demanded Sally. “You will stay. here tonight and your friends will be notified where to ge: you before tomorrow night.” “You mean to keep me here until you can get safely away, is that it?” demanded Sally. “T'm sure you know more about my plans than I do, Miss Warren,” said Giles sarcastically. “I have no way of knowing how long you have been spying on me.” Sam and his dog appeared in the hall doorway. Sally took up the pen and began to write to her mother. After all, it was better to do as Giles wished. This note would certainly arouse the suspicions of her father and mother, and perhaps they would call Philip. Sally re-read her note when she had finished. “Dear Mother: I have been called out of town suddenly on an errand that con- cerns the McDonald case. There wasn't time to come and explain. Don’t worry about me. Call the office and explain to Phiiip. Look for me back before tomorrow night. Love, Sally.” She took up the letter and nanded it to Giles Benton, who stood waiting for her to finish. He scanned it care- fully and handed it back to her. “Address an envelope for it,” he said. Sally addressed the envelope, placed her letter inside and'sealed the flap. Giles Benton took it from her and put it carefully into an inside pocket. “I'll show you the room, now,” he said. “Don’t be afraid. There's a key you can have. If you want anything to eat, Sam will give you whatever he has here. 1 wouldn’t advise you to talk to Sam. You won't get anything out of him. Come along, follow me.” (Copyright, 1936, Bailey Wolfe) at onée,” Sall¥’ “Pay sure understand why. Will the car be n?” “I'm afraid I can’t answer t on,” said Giles. He entered the, for Havana.

About as friendly a match as possible was had by Otto Kirch- heiner and George Dodge on the one hand and Winsome Willie Watkins and Samuella Go!dsmith on the other. For instance, on the first round Sam and Willie de- |feated the others by 2 up and on|~ the last nine Otto and the Pro won by 2 up, which made the day very happy for all concerned. For a while Otto had Willie going in circles to try and stop defeat from overtaking him but Willie gritted h's teeth (you know how he does it) and Mr. Pious return- ed home all smiles.

In these countries and in others the movement is a strong one. Its suc- cess in Sweden has been very clearly pictured in a book called “Sweden: The Mi-idle Way” by Mar- quis Child, a book that has had a very large sale in the United States. The general purpose of these co- operatives is to reduce the cost of ie living for the consumer.

It is another Lindbergh case, showing that the machinery of the law holds no fear for gangdom. That is because we are too soft and too lenient with convicted criminals, allowing them paroles after a few years in comfortable prisons, playing up the worst crimes in magazines and newspa- pers to inflame the imaginations of weak characters everywhere.
