She represents a group of non-competitive firms that want to do business with new arrivals In town She "samples" Ihe prospect by bringing her a local Newspaper and tickets good for such things as bread, milk, gasoline. auto tune-up. movie, laundry service, etc. The glad-hand lady does even more than that. In SI. Louis, says Nation's Business, the city hostess organized a club for women and girls who have been In the city leva than a year. Hometimes they bring lonesome boys and girls together. Always they try to rub off the Rlrangeness that an unfamiliar city preaents to a newcomer, and to make her feel that she is among friends. And It’s not so difficult, the hostesses say, bet ause in every community — yes. even In New York's East Hide—there are folkey people who like to meet and welcome their kind.

Thunder Clouds Dangerous for Aviators Aviators dread thunder cloudr. these white lowering clouds that look like curdles of milk, and they have good reason for fear, because the winds in such i luuds are sometimes strong enough to tear off a wingRecently one of our aviator friends had the job of navigating a big new war plane from California to North Carolina. He "aid that they met clouds over Texas | and from there on the crew got mighty few glimpses of the ground. The ship was flown at IS.WMI feet from Texas east. At that level there was of course nothing to hit. so the ship ploughed on, clouds or none. Moat of the time the view was fine, and it looked like they were flying over a vast rolling white ocean. The tops of Ihe clouds were like the appearance of the sea. except that It was as white as snow in the sunshine. But now and then the plane would meet great thunder clouds towering over places where a storm was going on down Iwlow. and cumulus clouds would loom up like great inoitn talus Itefore them. The ship couldn't go any higher without forcing the men to use oxygen, so the pilot simply dtove tight through these clouds A* he came to each one he would shout back. "Tighten your belts." and everyone mt Ism id would J>eli himself down. Once inside ihe cloud the plane would heave and butup like II was rolling down stairs and over a cliff, and often the rain poured against the windows In white shaefs of water. Occaalonally thsre was snow. Ou the -day of this flight there wan a vast icy air mass fresh from the polar regions spreading out In u <nki clear layer aloft, over all th** Gulf States. I* was this cold heavy air that preassri down on the ordinary I'Uiuds and gave them their flat

But occasionally there must have been thin places in the cold air ltd and it was here that lighter, hotter and wetter air from below was breaking through and pouring upward, making the high thund<-r <louds.

SYNOPSIS On his way to Haverstraw to visit his fiancee, Jane Rider. David Farland prevents a young woman from jumping off a ferry. She entrusts him with an envelope, requesting that he deliver it to the socially prominent Richard Garrison. if she doesn't call for it in a week. The girl's eyes dilate with fear as she sees a certain couple watching them. "I knew ha wouldn't play fair I” she exclaims and rushes off, dropping a compact initialed “C B." and pamphlet reading “Americana Warning!” On the train, David discovers the envelope is gone! At Haverstraw, he again secs the mysterious woman. Jane and ho follow her taxi but it disappears. Stopping at a gas station, they meet Mat Breanu, wealthy Broadwayite, and his friend. Fan Rubley. David drops the compact. Breanu recognizes it. When David refuses to reveal where he got it. Mat telle him to “Give me or Garrieon a ring, Monday!” What Breanu know about the whole affair? Shortly after, in a railway etation store, David and Jane encounter the couple who had frightened the girl on the boat. A fight ensues but the couple escape. Returning home, David and Jane are met by Mrs. Rider and Kurt Helm, a writer, who lives in a nearby cabin. Kurt ia infatuated with Jane and has threatened to win her from David. As the latter goes to take hie baggage from the rumble seat, he pulls back in horror. Stuffed into it io the body of the girl David met on the ferry. Breanu drives up with Fan and Richard Garrieon, his lawyer. and identifies the body as that of his wife, CarUe. When state troopers arrive, Kurt has disappeared. Later, he warns Jane against David talking too much about Carlie’o murder or the pre paganda pamphlet. While troopers are questioning Mat and David, the latter cries “The couple!" and dashes off into the bushes. CHAPTER NINE Tt was ten o'clock Sunday morning. The telephone buzzed close to Mattila Breanu's dark head. He tossed under rumpled covers, dimly conscious that he was in his own apartment, after a hideous experience. Then he remembered. It was Carlie of whom he had dreamed; poor beautiful Carlie, brutally murdered and thrust into the rumble seat of Jane Rider's coupd. It all came back: the flash of cameras on the country road below the old farmhouse... troopers. David Farland’s eager voice telling all he thought he knew. No, it couldn’t be true. Not Carlie. Not now when, if be made any Blip, everything he had worked for would be lost; issues more vital than women he had loved. And he had loved Carlie.

The telephone went on ringing. He wouldn t answer it Why had ho looked at Carlie’s ecad face last night? Her big gray eyes ssemed frozen with terror. The bluish gash of a knifs had slanted across the bloodstained ruffles of her blouae. But no knife had been found. She had been killed between eoven-thirty and eight-thirty, they Mid. Breanu groaned. Better an- . ewer that devilish 'phone. r Slowly, the “Broadway big shot" dragged the lacquered red instrument across the burgundy silk spread, resting it on his hunched knees. “Breanu speaking,” he muttered. "Ohl—that you. Deedtf” Dick Garrison wasn't his usual pteaaant self. “Why the devil did you run away last night ?" The lawK sounded like a man despising his .who has been up, shaved, showered and dressed for hours. “Fan wm iIL So I drove her to town. What ia wrong with that?" GaFrtson Mid sharply, "Everything’s wrongl Thayers holding the Farhad boy M a material witness, under gueni in the Rider’s house. Thanks to Mrs. Rider, the Sergeant lot him stay there. He’s Jane’s Aanefi, after all But what those poor worsen have gone through—!” •She to swMt, the litUo Jane." Breanu murmured. GfitoMtoff gtoW audibly MUaat*.

"It was he who ran away, as you call it. He had Carlie'a compact And why did he rush into those bushes, looking for that couple he talked about? What couple?” “According to his story, a man and woman,” Garrison said softly. "We didn’t catch them, but he swore they were the couple he saw on the ferry; the couple Carlie was afraid of; the eouple who attacked him in Macklin's story. You wouldn’t know anything about them—would you, Mat?" Breanu smoothed back his damp

black hair. "I know nothing,” he denied violently. "You are my lawyer, Dreek. I pay you well. Get me out of this. Let me bury my Carlie with no more talk." Garrison'e laugh came dryly over the wire, “1 don’t need your money, sweetheart Now listen—" His voice cracked like a whip. “Get wise to yourself. You know more about this than you're telling. Carlie wasn't murdered because of money or jewels. She left them when she left you. This case has—angles.” “Anglee?” Breanu’s voice was thick. “You may be right, Dteek. I have my ideas. I shall kill the guy who killed Carlie.” "So you have ideas!" Garrison commented quickly. “Are you thinking of a man or woman ? You mean the couple?" "Never you mind that" Breanu Mid far back in his throat. “Better come clean, Mat, with any information you have.” Garrison sounded grim. “I have a feeling you’ll be next And I wouldn’t give a nickel for Jane Rider and her bright boy’s life until th!>> case is solved. You’ve all done too much palavering for your own good," he added, as if he had reached the end of his patience. “I’m coming right over," and hung up. Breanu art the telephone on the table, and slid his short powerful body along the coo! ehecta. He wm sick. Ho stared at the life-sized portrait of Carlie on the buff wall opposite bis bed. A who once loved her had painted it aa a wedding gift, three years ago. She stood draped In sheer gray tulle; her thick honey-colored hair cappine her white skin, her lips enchanting in a crescent smile. Carlie Swift she waa, before she eloped with him; a socialite, aa the papers described her. He never had been her soft. He knew that. He W money al! right, but it what rtok he must earn it!
