Then he stealthily picked his way to- ward the long low building that he judged must be the blacksmith shop that the two men he had over- heard had referred to. He crept forward silently. Suddenly he shrank back against the wall of the shack next to it, and held his breath as he watched a dark form detach itself from the black mass of the build- pend take a few steps into the road. Ted discounted his first idea that it was Josh Hastings, as he studied the tall slender figure of the man, who now stood in a listening atti- tude, on id at his hip. Deciding that it ist’ undoubtedly be one of the two blackmailing villains he had overheard, Ted crouched for a spring. ‘ In spite of his exhausting night ride, he still had a goodly measure of the pent-up energy of his week in jail. This new obstacle in the path of his rescue of Kay, far from Racgurasing him, brought a sud- den wild exhilaration. He sprang out and grabbed his unknown enemy about the neck, at the same time wrenching his hand away from his holster and twisting his arm cruelly as he tried to force him to the ground. After the first second of surprise, and before Ted could down him, the man recovered his balance by a mighty heave of his shoulders that sent Ted staggering with him. ‘They both reeled in a deadly em- brace of straining and bulging muscles, As the man made no outcry, Ted felt sure he was there for no good purpose, and struggled to regain the advantage he had had in the first moment of catching him off uard. But Ted was hampered as ¢ did not dare release ‘his right hand. This made itsdoubly hard to. combat the wrestling tactics the man now sdopted. Back and forth they rocked, Ted still hanging on like grim death to the gun arm of his opponent, and 1987, srrersnsesever| CrAmrC SLASH TWO!

A memory of Josh Hastings’ words that he had shouted back through the door in his partin, g rage thed over her. What ha he meant by saying that “he had [ used this place once before?” Kay shivered at the thought of the sin- ister, gloating tone in which he had said that. And his threat to come back! How soon would he make that good? Kay groped her way around the cellar, feeling the damp wall from the rough rafters overhead, to the floor. Even though all attempt to es- cape was futile, anything was bet- ter than inaction. Systematically starting at one end, she examined her prison, bit by bit. The only air, apparently, came from a grating in the ceiling, which gave into a darkened room above. Half way around the second wall, she pulled awa; scrap iron that seem: ing out of an angle of the wall in a peculiar fashion. It was much longer than she had expected, and thrusting her hand into the hole that it left in the wall as she dré it away, her fingers encounteret smooth object that made. hei claim and draw back in terror! She steeled herself to gate, and put her hand in agajm She drew out a smooth flat obj which turned out.to be a small-y been a diary or address book. Exclaiming over her discovery, Kay held it close to her eyes and opened it, but strain as she would, she could make nothing out of the pages which might, or might not ave been merely blank. Bread Aud Water A RASPING of the key in the door startled her so that her find dropped to the floor, and was temporarily forgotten as she tushed for the dim streak of light that showed for a minute, as some- thing was thrust inside the door. Before she could reach it, the door was slammed to without a word having been said, and the key turned again. On the floor, when Kay got over to the door, she found a canteen of water and a loaf of bread. With a strangled cry of rage, she snatched up the bread and would have flung it from her, but sober second thought stopped her. If Josh Hastings really meant to carry out his dastard threat to starve her into submission, she — sd typ on meer she could ge’ liberately she gulped down some of the bread with the aid of sips of water from the can- ee. ao a pat as she could, then gro rt way back to about where she had dropped struggling for ition to land a te'ling blow with his left. Unable to make out anything in the darkness, he hit out blindly. To his own intense surprise h first thudded with sickening force egainst a jaw bone, and the next instant the man he had been strug- gling with slumped at his feet, un- conscious. Ted seized the stranger’s ban- danna and his own, and wrists and ankles, Then he pulled his victim’s gun out of its holster and moved swiftly toward the ruined smithy. The Hidden Notebook R what might have been min- utes, or might have been hours after Josh Hastings left her, Kay lay on the smithy floor in a stupor of despair. Long before her temporary physical paralysis lessened, her mind waked to painful realization of her situation, and to a flashing review of the pipeeion of events leading C3 to i oe it, ran the main theme of hurt’’bewilderment at Ted’s behavior. Her own personal hopes had revived involuntarily at the statement that it had been a “red-headed girl” that Ted had fought for. Tom Runyon, whether deliberately or unknowingly, had pt her on the wrong trail, and it ad seemed for one glorious mo- ment that all her wild jealousy had been unfounded. But how explain Ted's curt re- fusal to see her, and the scornful way in which his eyes had passed her by at the trial? In her semi-conscious state, Kay's fears, for the moment, were dulled, but her love for Ted surged through her, overcoming for the mcment her pride and resentment of his attitude toward her. Perhaps, after all, he was in love with that girl, Marion Howell. But somehow, as he had told his story, Kay had felt that that part of it was impersonal, and that gratitude for having saved him was the key- note of Ted's feeling for this black- haired stranger, who had so tor- tured her thoughts. Her eyes, gradually growing ac- cust to the darkness, peered arow prison, and a sudden terror sent her leaping to her feet.

A startled scream broke from her as her fevered Spo ot tion, stung to the highest pitch by the nightmares that had been tor- turing her sleep, pictured the bulky form of Josh about to descend on her. In answer to her scream, the footsteps rushed across the floor above, and the next instant, she heard Ted’s voice calling her name in a hoarse subdued tone.

A SIGNIFICANT EXPERIMENT “Dr. Johnson presents his ments to Mr. Pitch and assures that the exhibition yesterday gaye the gentlemen present much satis- faction.” With this formal note from one of their number, members of the Con- stitutional Convention a century and a half ago this week ackowledged the success of an experiment which was to have a profound effect on the new nation they had met to create. It was a demonstration of the prac- tical operation of one of the earliest steamboats, built by John Fitch and demonstrated August 22, 1787, on the waters of the Delaware River, at Philadelphia. At the invitation of the inventor and others, the delegates interrupted their sessions at Independence Hall to watch the experiment from the river bank. ‘They saw an odd forerunner of our modern steamships. Preceding Ful- ton's famous “Clermont” by a number of years, it was a small boat with a wood-burning furnace and strangely- shaped kettle in the middle, and pro- pelled by steam-driven oars. As described in a contemporary maga- zine. “each revolution of the axle- tree moves twelve oars five and a half feet. As six oars come out of the water, six more enter the water, which es @ stroke similar to the paddle of Phe canoe.” orNet had,the delegates been able to visualize all that crude experiment foretast.'‘they would undoubtedly have been deeply impressed. For out of the development of the steamboat — and the new power it utilized—were to result the opening to commerce of huge regions then mere wildernesses, the expansion of communication with lands across the | seas which made us one of the great LEGALS NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR (Senate Bill No. NOTICE IS.
