IPRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1942 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Chapter 20 ms After The Destruction PETE and Julie were destined to wait long hours before they could even begin to untan- gle the twist of events, Al- though the fire was under con- trol now, it would be daylight before they could venture back into the valley. .And when dawn finaily did pink the sky, the cruel waste of the night’s ravaging fire lay bebe? alata’ around Cae this,” ey’ll have to pay for Pete growled aavauere as they picked their way carefully down the hill toward the site of the |Kelland cabin. “Another item on the account the dirty sneaks started at Pearl Harbor. If you're right about the tall villain. Julie,” —his fists clenched, the muscle along his jaw tightened, “we'll make him pay part of it!” A steep climb brought them to the brow of a hill, showed them the next stream valley. Straight |down a blackened slope dropping jaway from them to the tiny stream below, they could see what was left of the Kelland cabin. The stone foundation, the charred skeleton of the house. All else wag in, ashes. For“a long momeft, they stared, trying to believe that the empty, blackened shell. below, had only esterday been ia _Joyely jsumnicY jome, eaves-deep in_ green shrubbery,, half-hidden by tall jpines: Denuded now,\ the’ whole jscene told a grim story. “Ghastly,” Julie | murmured and shook tears out of her eyes. Then, remembering suddenly, “Where are the others?” “Safe —I hope!” Pete started down toward the road, a white streak far below. “At least all the cars are gone. They must have found a way out.” “Look!” Julie pointed to_tire tracks in the white dust. “They must have gone on up this way.” Pete grinned, followed the tire tracks. “It was used last night, all right. Lucky for—” “There they are!” Dawn Lost | COMING toward them, slowly, trailing a cloud of dust, moved four automobiles. Julie called, waved. A moment later the first car drew up beside her. Bart at the wheel. “Thank Heaven you're safe,” he said instantly, his white face grimy, his eyes deep-circled, blood-shot. “Where’s Dawn?” Julie stared at him. “Isn’t she with you?” Bart sprang from the car, grasped her shoulders. “Don’t tell me you haven’ seen her, Julie. Where is she?” “Don’t lose your head, Bart,” Pete said quietly. “That’s no help.” “But she must be with you Bart insisted frantically. “Tell us when you saw her last, Bart,” Julie suggested calm- ly, extricating herself from his cruel grasp on her shoulders. “She was with us when we de- cided we'd have to abandon the house. Bart moistened dry lips | nervously. “She told me to drive on ahead, that she’d follow in the last car.” “I was driving the last car out,” one of the men spoke up, shook his head. “Didn't even see her.” “Well, perhaps she didn’t want te alarm you unduly and had de- cided to risk getting to the look- out station to phone for help, or—| something,” Pete concluded a | little weakly. | But his calm took effect on the weary little group.

And messiges for you. eat your breakfast girl But Julie dashed on into the li- brary, snatched up the phone. Mr Kelland himself answered. No. Dawn had not returned from her week-end trip as yet. He was ex- pecting her this morning. Obviously he gjdn’t know about the fire. Oby ly “he wasn't worrying about wn. It was bet- ter so. No Trace Dawn ‘HEN she eallefi the Fowler home. A maid answered. “Mr. Pete is not in.” “Is he at the’ plant, do’ you knpw?” Julie asked. é ““Mr. Pete is not in,” the girl repeated stupidly, and hung up. Exasperated, Julie called th= shipyard office. No luck. Mr. Fowler, Jr.. was out of town. Didn't anybody know there’d been a fire! That Dawn Kelland had disappeared! This time she called Bart, got a sleepy: “Oh, hello, Julie. Heard any- thing about Dawn, yet?” “Haven't you?” “Only that Pete called the ranger station and nobody’d seen her. They've got search parties out now, combing the mountains.” “When did they start?” “Last night. Soon after we got back.” ° 1 “Pete too?” she asked anxious- ly. _ “Yes. I’m going up this morn- ing to relieve him.” And she had slept peacefiily through it all. “I’ll go with you, Bart.” “Oh no you won't. Pete left strict orders that you were not to come,” Bart's voice sharpened strangely. “He wants you to break the news to Kelland in case we don’t find Dawn today.” : “They'll find her. alf’ right,” she said, with’ more .confidence than she really felt. “Oh. Julie, they’ve got to find her. Poor little kid.” ‘ Bart's anxiety {betrayed \-him. He’d always bec in love -with her, whether he knéw it or rot. ‘Dr. Tom was just.coming doy stairs as she returned to the nall- way. “Hello, puss. Understand ycu’ve been fighting forest fires,” he said carelessly enough but his were grave with worry. “You all right now?” She nodded. “But we can’t find Dawn,” and rapidly sketched de- tails of the events of the past mysterious stranger. however, she prudently. said nothing. “Egad, Kelland will be a crazy man. He adores that girl.” “Oh, Pete will find her all right,” and automatically ate the food Hulda set before her. « Pete called just as she was ready to leave for the office. “We can’t find her, Julie,”— his voice came wearily across the wire. “Personally, I don’t think they’ll find her, now.” “You mean—alive?” Pete didn’t answer for a mo- ment. “I'll tell you later. Picked up a few new angles. Will you tell Reiland as much as you think wise?” Julie drew a long breath. “Yes, of course.” “Good. See.you later.” * Bye.” Slowly, Julie replaced receiver, ‘To tell a man, al- dy stricken, that his only chiic orjeven worse!
