SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1940 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Eight Teams Sign Up In by Frances Shelley Wees Chapter 47 The Deserted House H®= TURNED the light farther up the rock. There, a yard inland, ‘was another bead. They were difficult to follow. Sometimes they were two yards apart on the rocky shore and then it took a long time; but in not more ten minutes he found himself — the rocks and standing at the loot of a narrow winding path leading straight up the cliffs. And then he knew where he was going. .“Gordon again,” Michael told himself thankfully as he ran up the Path, dodging the bushes that struck at him and scrambling over rocks that tripped him. Thoughts raced through his brain. He re- membered the talk he had had with Gordon when he had asked why he had needed a boat; and Gordon had told him of the old de- serted stone house across the river, pointing out its position as a first class place for a warrior’s strong- hold and robber’s castle, where the gang could meet on rainy days. Michael had said, “But it isn’t deserted, my lad; I saw smoke com- ing out of the chimney only the other day.” Gordon had insisted that he was mistaken. Smoke a furnace perhaps. Another ught came into his mind. Jameson had wondered what happened to the bodies of the tor- tured animals from the University lab. Here. He shivered again and went more quickly, reaching the top with one last bound. His reasoning had somehow brought him to expect to see the old house blazing with light, but as he stood there peering ahead of him into the darkness it was not visible at all. There seemed to be a thick grove of trees; then he re- membered that from the opposite bank the place was, indeed, sur- rounded by trees. Perhaps they ob- secured the light which must be shining there behind the old walls. He went forward cautiously in the direction in which the house must lie, using his light only rarely and then for short moments. His foot struck something hard, and bending quickly he discovered it to be a brick. So. He must be close to the house. He went on very slowly now, and very quietly. Ina few seconds the hand outstretched before him touched a wall instead of branches, and he knew he had reached his goal. But it was dark and quiet; not a sound or glimmer betrayed that this was anything but what it ap- peared to be, an old, tumble-down stone shell of what once had been a house. Michael stood there on the porch and listened intently for sev- eral seconds. There was nothing. He risked the flashlight; turned it down on the stone floor at his feet, and there, just in front of the porch, another of the coral beads. He turned the light off instantly and flattened himself against the wall. In that manner he edged through the open door and stood in the musty darkness, listening again. He looked up, and there was no roof over his head. The stars shone through, winking at him faintly. He frowned to himself. This was no laboratory ... what if perhaps only the doomed were rought here—that curling smoke he had seen. He swallowed hard. It seemed to be an impasse... and yet, surely Tuck has not dropped the beads for nothing. Thinking it over, there in the blackness and gloom, he groaned involuntarily. That clever, schem- ing devil ... he might have put the beads there purposely. And Tuck? Michael flashed the light full on and walked boldly forward. He went through one door after an- other until he had been all through the house. He turned back hopelessly to the door by which he had entered, and as he did so he stopped short. No sound, no light, had brought him up short, but an odor, faint but distinctly perceptible in the still air. He sniffed again. Chloroform. Iodine... drugs! A laboratory? Smoke! The fireplace . . . he swung the light tround until it rested un the old stone chimney at the side of the house, and went across to it, more cautiously now. The hearth was empty; no fire had been kindled there for long years. Yet it smelled of smoke. Strange. Certainly he had seen smoke com- ing from ‘it. id then he knew the answer. Like a flash he was through the door and feeling his way around | the house, and there at the side he came upon one of those old-fash- fioned outer entrances to the base- ment. Without a moment's hesita- tion he went down the steps and stood with his ear pressed against the solid barred door he found there. The odor of drugs was very strong now, oppressive. ji A hand from above caught him by the throat. A cloth pressed tight over his nose and mouth. He was held as in a vise. | “So, my friend,” he heard a} voice say through the haze that} seemed to envelop him, “we meet | on common ground at last?” Bad Dreams ‘UCK turned her head wearily and tried to put her hand up to it. She was so tired. Such terrible dreams, Pictures out of her dream floated disjointedly through her mind. The stump had come apart like a door. How queer. And Don- ovan hadn’t been Donovan at all. Strange how clearly she could see the cave in the rock and the boat lying below her .. . she could fee] the movement again, hear the splashing of the water as the oars went down again an again, The same black panic came d | lying back to her, the panic of her dream. She had decided to jump into the river. she remembered now. $100 FOR A GRANDSON PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Four nes a grandfather but never to Wasn’t that funny? Because she couldn’t swim. Jump into the black rushing water ...she was afraid of something. She had screamed and tried to jump. It didn’t seem as if she jumped, though, because she couldn't remember the water. Why hadn’t she jumped into the water? Somebody wouldn't let her... somebody had grasped her arms so tightly that they hurt very badly. Somebody ... with a dreadful face and blazing eyes had looked at her and laughed. And Michael couldn’t find her, she had thought. She had been afraid. He wouldn’t know where to look. So she had broken the cord of her coral beads and dropped them, She could hear that awful laugh yet... even if it had been only, a dream. She shivered and put her hand over eyes. It was ‘almost as if that face were stil) looking down at her. Someone took hold of her wrist ... She must wake up. She tried to rub her eyes, Her hands wouldn’t move. That laugh ... again. Her eyes opened themselves suddenly. That face! That dreadful, sneering, mocking smile again. She stared at it. “You are awake,” the voice was saying. “Come now, revive your- self. Take a deep breath of air, The air here is quite fresh and pure, I assure you.” She couldn’t believe what she saw. It must be still the dream... if only it would stop! Her throat hurt and she couldn't swallow. She stared up at the face. It was the face of the man who should have been Donovan and wasn’t. He was bending over her and holding her two wrists tightly together. She struggled. He smiled again. “You are not quite strong yet, 1 am afraid,” he said kindly enough. “I don’t want you to use your hands, do you see, so | am just binding them down to the table, like this. You would spoil every- thing if you could use your hands. You might knock my hand the merest fraction of an inch, and spoi? everything. That has hap- pened before, of course. It is most unfortunate.” “What do you mean?” her voice was only a whisper. “Ah, so you are yourself again? Do you know, for a moment I was afraid I had given you too heavy an anaesthetic.” ‘No One Suspects’ “(HERE am 1?” she muttered. He stood up. Her hands were bound down to her sides now. He pursed his lips. “Does it matter? You are safe. Quite safe, I am certain of that. You see, your husband was not at home when_we left, nor your friend, Miss Temple. They will not discover that you have gone, and when they do, they will not know where you have gone.” He turned away and went lei- surely across the room to a great cabinet standing against the wall, agreat cabinet with glass doors be- hind them, rows and rows of shin- ing things like silver knives and forks, perhaps, Beside the cabinet was a square iron stove upon which stood a copper cauldron. The man looked down at it reflec- tively. m afraid I hadn't better use he said with regret. “The sparks might possibly betray us, and that would never do. I have worried about the firc at times, you know,” he said, turning back to her. “The smoke would be so clearly visible to an observant eye. But of course, — do you know, I have been using this place for over a year now, and no one has even suspected that it exists. The blind- ness of humanity is remarkable. There have been one or two unfor- tunate episodes in connection with it, too,” he said unhappily. “Mv subjects have not been in tne pest of health, of course, and that ex- plains it. I am sure of success to- night.” “What are you going to do with me?” Tuck’s throat was so dry. He lifted something from the cabinet before he answered. It was a little alcohol stove, she saw, and he lit it, and put a rectangular basin of water over it to heat. _ “Do with you?” he asked smil- ing. “You know, I don’t believe I’! bother explaining it to you. I have explained it to one or two of them and I believe it really interferes with the success of the experiment, It is, of course, a very delicate one; and perhaps the state of mind of the patient really has something to do with it. In fact 1 am sure it has.” He was working, now, as he talked, his hands moving quickly over a strange-looking thing he took from the cabinet, a thing of bright, shin- ing metal and long rubber tubes with metal caps. There was a door down at the end of the room opposite her, a door set into the dingy gray ce- ment of the walls. She did not hear anything, but suddenly the man turned and stared at it. He walked swiftly across and through it, and she could see him looking down at something below him in there. Lifting her head as far as she could, and straining her eyes into the darkness, she could make out the outline of the foot of a bed and white sheets above. Then there was a sound of heavy breathing in there, a faint moan. Someone else was here too! He was speaking. “Be silent!” He said “Not a sound, I must not be disturbed.” Disturbed? At what? Suddenly Tuck wondered what this thing was that she lay upon, so high and narrow. It seemed a little familiar, somehow, quite in accordance with some queer odor in the air. Drugs. A hospital. That was it. id this? This thing she was on? She was, she knew in that in- as strapped to an operating le. a grandson, John Ef.

After a short discussion on rules to be followed during the second-half, all representatives presented the names of their jteams to Secretary Hamlin for listing in drawing up the sched- ; ule. It was found that eight clubs were to be in the second- half, four more than in the first- half. Teams entered and their rep- resentatives are: Sea Food Grill, Jack Carbonell: Marine Corps, Lieut. Donohoo; DeMolays, Har- ry Knight; Army, Pvt. Nodine; | 'VP 53 Air Squadron, Paul Byars; U.S.S. Philip, Chief Boomer; |High School Varsity, Coach Of- futt; Lions Club, Newton Ketch- ings. These teams each drew a num- ber to determine which should ,play the opening games. As a lresult, it was shown that the |Army would clash with Air |Squadron VP-53 in the first con- test and Lions Club will tackle High School Varsity in the night: cap. Rest of the schedule will be drawn up over the weekend and will appear in the columns of The Citizen Monday or Tuesday. Prior to last night’s meeting a doubleheader of basketball was played. High School five played Navy in the opener and Lions met Sea Food Grillers in the second centest.

The Indian outfielder, who jbatted .287 in 130 games last sea- json, told the writer he tried to get Rollie Hemsley, Luke Sewell and ! Sammy Hale to make the trip} with him but they had other | jplans. However, he promised! that they will spend two weeks jin the city before spring training begins. Campbell smashed out 129 hits for a total of 202 bases during the season last year. Among his clouts were 23 doubles, 13 triples and eight homers. He sacrificed seven times, stole seven bases and was caught stealing six times. He walked 67 times, struck out 48 times, hit by pitcher three} {times and batted in 72 runs. He averaged .287. | Campbell bats left and throws right-handed. He played the} rightfield in 115 games in 1939, scoring 200 putouts and 12 assists and committing 13 errors in a to- tal of 225 chances. He started \three double plays. His fielding percentage is .942.
