"CONTRABANDIST

CHAPTER XX Ten min..’as later, from their cover among the bushes, they saw the glimmer of lights between the trees, and the big limousine that Gregory had seen set out for London the night before roared up the drive, with a single dark muffled figure seated inside it, "Gavin’s not with her,” Gregory whispered, as he saw Sabine descend from the car. "I wonder where he’s gone to.” “Lord only knows,” Wells muttered. “He left the Carlton shortly after noon. I had a man tailing him, of course, but the fool mucked it when they were caught in a traffic block. When I last heard our people hadn't yet been able to pick him up again." Lights appeared in the downstair windows of the main part of the house and they guessed that Sabine had settled down to her supper. Meanwhile, they remained behind the bushes: Gerry Wells with the trained patience of a man who spends many hours of his life waiting perforce for things to happen, but Gregory fidgeting a little after the first half hour. An hour crawled by; then the lights in the downstair rooms went out and fresh lights appeared in one of the upper windows. Another twenty minutes and those went out as well. “We've come on a wild goose chase,” muttered Gregory, half gl»d and half angry. “There’s nothing doing here tonight after all. Evidently she only cleared out of the Carlton in order to get away from me and decided to sleep here.” “Maybe you’re right,” Wells replied noncommittally, “but don’t forget the telegram. From that it looked as if they were on the job tonight as well—didn’t it?” “Perhaps, but they may have a dozen hideouts and rendezvous. Almost all the numbers in the damn thing were different” “Sssh, what’s that?” Wells caught Gregory’.’ »rm and pressed it The faint low note of a motor engine came clearly to them in the silence. They glanced upward, half expecting the approach of a plane, but a moment later realized that a dar had entered the west gate of the park a quarter of a mile away. Then they caught the gleam of its headlights flickering through the trees. It was a long powerful sports model with two men in its bucket seats. It did not stop at the front of the house but went straight round to the garage. Gregory and Wells slipped through the fringe of trees in order to get a view of the new arrivals but by the time they had reached a point from which they could see the garage the headlights of the car had been switched off A torch glimmered in the darkness. By it they could see that the big doors of the garage had been closed upon the car; then the light moved towards them and there was the sound of approaching footsteps. They shrank back into the blacker shadow’s. The two men passed, the nearest dragging one of his feet a little, and crossed the lawn to the shed that housed Lord Gavin’s plane. A bright light inside the hangar was switched on. In its glare the two figures, in airman’s kit, stood out clearly, one nearly a head taller than the other. “The I.imper,” Gregory whispered. “How I’d like to get my hands on the brute's throat. He might have blinded me with that bag of pepper he threw in my face at Dives.” The plane was run out on to the lawn, the lights in the shed switched

off, the men boarded the machine. The engine roared and spat; then the plane glided forward. “Come on,” snapped Gregory. "We’ve got to run for it or we’ll lose them.” Almost before the plane was in the air Gregory and Wells were sprinting across the soft springy turf behind it. They dived into the belt of trees and stumbled forward tripping and jumping over vaguely seen patches of undergrowth until they reached the meadow, then raced on again, heads down, towards the east gate of the park. Breathless and panting they tore across the field to the spot where Simmons was waiting beside Well’s plane. The roar of its powerful engine shattered the silent night and Gregory was only settling in his seat as it sailed into the air. They knew from the sound of the other machine, before Wells’ engine had been turned on, that it was heading southwest and took that direction. By the time they were up two hundred feet Gregory was scanning the starry sky with his night glasses. “Got 'em ..." he shouted down the voice pipe t> moment later. . . little more to the south. Towards tha‘ very brignt star low on the horizon ” The plane tn front was climbing and for a few moments Well* flew on at five hundred feet making up the distance. Both planes were flying without lights and it was difficult to pick up their quarry, but soon, with the aid of Gregory’s shouted directions, he caught sight of it. Five minutes after taking off they picked up the few scattered lights «f late workers or pleasure parties in Canterbury, upon their right, but after that, flying southwest by south, they passed over a stretch of country containing only small villages, from which the glimmers of light were few and far between at this late hour. Another five minutes and on their left they sighted another little glimmering cluster far below them which both knew, from their course, to be Folkestone. After that the country seemed to become blank and lightless. They were above the low, sparsely inhabited lands of the Romney Marshes. Wells had climbed to two thousand feet, but the leading plane was just as fast a machine, and flying at a still greater altitude. For three hectic minutes, while Gregory frantically searched the sky with his night glasses, they lost sight of it but, keeping to their course, they flew on over the deserted, lightless marshlands, until a star blacked out for an instant and enabled them to pick up the trail again. An intermittent revolving beam showed as a pin point miles away to their left, and Gregory knew that they were now opposite the Dungeness light. A moment later Wells shouted to him and pointed downward straight ahead. Two rows of lights were just visible, forming a “T” in the blackness of the marshes. The other plane was descending toward them and Wells swerved away to the westward in order to avoid being spotted from below. The roar of his engine would, he knew, merge into that of the other plane as long as it remained in the air. He flew on until he was almost over Tenterden, climbing al) the time, then turned and came back again to the southeast, climbing still. He was now at five thousand feet when, flying seaward, they passed again the tiny “T” of lights below. “Got them,” he yelled to Gregory through the voice pipe. “But they’ll hear us if we fly low-

Jaines Roosevelt Is Patient At Mayo's Rochester. Minn , May 24 - <U.R> James Roosevelt, eldest son and secretary to the president, arrived i today to enter the Mayo clinic for, examination and possible treatment, tor a stomach disorder. He was a special passenger on a Northwest Airlines plane, which ordinarily does not stop at Roches-.

er; and away from the ‘T’ of lights it’s too risky to make a landing." Gregory shouted buck. “You’ll make the landing,” Wills bawled. “What’s your parachute for, man I Out you go.” “Not on your life,” Gregory bawled. “Never made a parachute jump in my life—not going to start now. Think I’m going to risk my neck?” “Dammit, you must," yelled the Inspector as he banked, circling still higher over the secret landing ground. “We’ll never find this place in daylight. It’* our one chance to register their base. You’ve got to do it. Don’t let me down.” Gregory stared over the side of the plane at the little cluster of lights seeming now so infinitely far below. And then the heart-shaped face of Sabine came clear before his eyes. “If I do, will you let Sabine out?” he cried. “Will you jump—if I agree?” Wells shouted. “Yes. damn you I” Gregory screamed back. “I can’t speak for my superiors," bawled Wells. Gregory was already fumbling at his back, seeing that the parachute was in position. He stood up uncertainly swaying as the plane soared Uirough the air at 150 mile* an hour. “You’ve got to let her off,” he thundered, leaning over Wells’ shoulder, his mouth close to the Inspector’s ear. “Go on, I’ll do my best,” Wells turned his face up, shouting. “Won’t arrest her myself, anyhow.” Gregory peered over the side again. The thought of leaping into that black immensity of space made his heart contract but he climbed out on to the fuselage. The wind rushed past him tearing at every corner of his garments as though it would strip him naked. For a second there was an awful pain which stabbed him in the pit of the stomach. He felt sick and»giddy as he clung with all his might to prevent the blast from ripping his clutching fingers from their precarious hold. Then he took a breath —screwed his face up into a rueful grin—and jumped. • • • As Gregory leaped the body of the plane seemed to shoot up like a rccket behind him. He felt himself gripped and twisted as though he was a straw in a tempest, then hurled violently downward. The plane roared away into the darkness above him. Nearly a mile below him lay the earth, pitch-black and terrifying. Not a light was to be seen in any direction, except the little “T” of flares which now appeared to be some distance to his right as he shot earthwards. With horrifying rapidity the “T” grew larger. By a stupendous effort he forced his right arm in to grasp the rip cord. His fingers were numb from the icy blast of the rushing air. He had an awful moment when he feared that they would no longer have sufficient feeling left in them for him to use them. At last he found the cord and, half choking from relief, jerked it with all his might. Nothing happened. He pulled again but the cord was hanging loose now in his hand. Still nothing happened. He made a desperate effort to force his head round so that he could look over his shoulder. The movement flung him out of his spin and he was facing the earth head downwards again. The “T” of flares was much bigger now. (To Be Continued) Copyright. 19ST. by King Feature* Byo<Urafe. Ine.

(U.K) lowa State College entomologists have developed ; a new method of counting chinch I bugs, thereby determining prospecI tive infestations. The bug census system, devel- ' oped by Dr. George Decker, consists of placing clumps of earth j beneath strong electric lights until the pests are driven into the open. If there is a relatively small ■ number of bugs in the clod, they ■ are counted individually. Otherwise they are weighed to determine I the number. The clod then is broken and mixed with water. Dead bugs list; . j to the top of the mixture and are skimmed off with a brush. The number of dead bugs recovered i determines the percentage of wini ter mortality. Decker said there was little proaI peel of a major outbreak in lowa this year. ter. More than 150 persons were at the airport, among them Dr. George B. Eusterman, Mayo clinic physician who will have personal charge of Roosevelt while he is here.
