Meanwhile tho police arc following the oaso carofullv and have found letters written to Sandy by Ramon, Douglas loams that Ins newspaper oliico is slowly but surely bringing Sandy a name to tho fore in tho crime. GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTERC The chocolates were packed in a red satin heart—Valentine day coming. Mechanically Douglas read the verse emblazoned on a heart stabbed with a cupid’s arrow. People jostled past him—throngs hurrying by unobserving. But the net was closing—closing on him and Sandy. How? Queer, "Newton didn’t seem to know this angle. How could the net be closing? lie felt riveted to tho spot. Was someone already shadowing him? Was he the man soon to lie trapped in the mystery death rase? What new story could have broken within the last half hour? Just like an evening paper to make a big splash over nothing! Perhaps they'd gotten hold of a picture similar to Newton's? Must be that Nothing in the wide world they could have discovered about him. He went down Fourth St. to a restaurant, ordered a steak, lie propped the paper before him. * * * In Ramon’s room -was an antique desk with a loaf that slid in and hut. Ramon, on that last day, had used this desk. He had slid the leaf back to place. In doing this some papers and a blotter got caught. They fell into a deep groove at the side. Here they lay hidden until unearthed by the reporter of the evening paper now flashing their scoop. Torn fragments of a farewell letter similar to the one already di* covered. And a blotter—a blotter with the name of a man written hundreds of times as though whole reams had been covered with these two -words. The newspaper withheld tis name While the police were investigating a possible connection of the man with the murder. A man’s name. Why should it b° the namo of Douglas Keith? Did Ramon even know his name? And suppose the police had his name? Tho mere writing of this on a blotter was surely no link to connect him with a murder. He couldn’t think. His mind took fire. It blazed up wildly. His name on a blotter. Then they might be out looking for him nnow —perhaps ijt his mother’s house. Perhaps they’d called up the paper and asked if ho had been around. Then they'd track him —find Sandy. They’d trace his movements since Monday night—discover he'd been

Salesman For Face Cream Learns a Lesson Mr. H. B. Menne, New York City, writes —“I was a salesman of creams healing pimples, blemishes, etc., •y\it when my face broke out with blotches, pimples and blackheads, I tried one salve after another with no results. I found it as impossible to sell skin creams as a bald headed man finds selling hair tonic. Finally I decided I would have to get at the cause—constipation, I was amazed to find that within a few days aftertaking Carter's kiltie Inver Pills my skin took on anew healthful look."

HIGHER THAN WOOLWORTH BUILDING Year’s Sales of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound

m tSIP’ TBl Wii-m ' ' ■ f 18 MRS. ED. DAUGHERTY IIOS ORCHARD AVENUE. MUSCATINE. lOWA The Woolworth Building In New York City, which towers 792 feet above the street, is the highest building in the United States. If all the bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound sold in 1925 could be placed end to end* they would make a column as high as the Woolworth Building with enough left over to extend from Lynn, Massachusetts to Cleveland, Ohio.

every day to Hal Ilume’s; they’d go tV/?re, come upon Sandy. They might be entering Hal's flat now—this moment. * • Ho held the paper before him, ids eyes burning. They would take Sandy into custody, discover from the linger prints it was she who crept along the floor —and her eyes in that little gold frame—and her blood in the corner. They would put the‘death of Ramon on Sandy’s shoulders—charge her with murder. He was aware that Sandy’s presence doomed them both, but he could no longot* .analyze this clearly. He glanced about the restaurant, vaguely astonished to find himself sitting here, apparently reading a paper—apparently eating his dinner. No one watching him—yet it cost him an effort to turn his head; to look up at tlie waiter and order his coffee^ How absurd this was! Suppose it was his name on the blotter—even if the name of Douglas Keith were traced here ten thousand time's, would he be shadowed on so uttterly flimsy a clew as this? Why, Ramon might merely have noticed Ills name on a drawing and idly—because of bis abysmal despondence—have copied it.. The police don’t shadow a man because his name is on a blotter! The most they would dare would be to call at his home —perhaps take him to the Hall of Justice and question him. He could show that ho knew nothing of Ramon —had never met him. He could deny absolutely that he had been near Third and Market on Monday night. * * * What would they have to prove otherwise? That handkerchief? But he had looked in the telephone book and found there were twelve whole pages of people with the intial “K." Why should that handkerchief lie his? • And Judith thought site gave his laundry that one time in her name— Unless they found Sandy they I would have nothing to link him with Ramon’s death. If they found Sandy t-bey would have all. He suddenly remembered what Newton said about the cranks and the woman who reported that a man answering tlie description given by the elevator Operator had a woman in hiding. Suppose they pressed the investigation of his movements since Monday night? People had* seen him going to Hal's flat. The woman downstairs knew him —knew he was Hal's chum. The police running down every clew might visit Hal's quarters— He slumped in his chair, making minute folds in the tablecloth —tiny tucks with his fingers. If they traced him to Hal's flat —if Sandy were still there, then they would have both of them—have them cold. It now became of agonizing import that Sandy be hidden away. Take her tonight—drive her down to the hunting shack. She could be moved now. What risk there might be was little compared to the tragedy her discovery would he. He would be delivering her into their hands, turning her over to infamous torture. * • * lie pushed the table jerkily. Get out of here now—quick—before they or any one knew where lie might lie. At the counter 10 paused. Should lie go down and get his machine? If they wore investigating him they might have located it —might nab him as he started to drive away— He clinched his jaws—his eyes blasting at a gray, haggard boy staring at him from the blurry mirror—himself— Leave the and old car down there! ’ Friday night—go up to Hal's office—Ridiculous to imagine anyone shadowing him! They would discover that lie was a decent person— Even the police can't slap murder charge willy-nilly! * * * lie told Hal Hume all that Newton I had reported—showed him the evening extra. "I’m going to take her away tonight.” Hal’s rich, dark eyes looked squarely and anxiously into his. Ho lie went on quickly: "Because if they come here and get her, they’ll kill her anyway. You don't know what the third degree is! Will they care that she's not equal to it? Hal, Sandy may even have fired that shot. In the scuffle she may have fired it.” To his consternation Hume answered quietly: "Yes

thought about that. She may have fired it.” "Well, if she did, no one’s ever going to know it! By God, no one will ever find it out!” * * * Sandy had her hands folded over her face. He took her hands down, •studied the small, delicate fingers, kissed them. They had prints of these fingers. She said softly: “Douglas, Is Ramon buried yet?" “I think so.” ”1 wish it were years from now.” Then ho leaned down and whispered: “So that it would be far away from us, Sandy?” He noticed her lashes so long against the pale cheeks. He remembered those eyes raised, with overpowering radiance that time she said: “Oh, how I love you, Douglas Keith! 1 worship you." He wished she would look up now and say it ... Only five days ago! She answered: "So that it and I would be far away from you, Douglas.. . “Not from me, Sandy. You will never be far away from me. But I’ll take you away from it ... Sandy, I’m going to take you away tonight. Take you where you can rest ... where you will be quiet ... Just you and Jude ... and Hal and I to visit you—” She looked at him shrewdly. "Why, Douglas?” and without giving him a chance to answer: “Have they found out about me? And that I went to Ramon—"• “Nothing—not a word they

They hid Sandy away, meaning to keep her from it. (To Be Continued) FLOWERS ARE GUARDED Vigalntes Are Organized to Stop Thefts of Blooms. * ttv Unitfd Press SALEM.

The Senate Commerce Committee wants to find out. It discovers this was true In the course of its inquiries into Stanley Dollar's recent purchase of the American Oriental mall line out of Seattle. When the < Munson company operated the Pan-American line for the Government, heavy losses were incurred. Within the year Munson purchased the line and at once effected economies in stevedoring and other Items of operation. Members of the board testified they believe he

This Includes $900,000 worth of improvements just put oif the boadts by the Government. Commissioner Plummer of the shipping board is so sure these vessels will make a profU that he testified he would lnvestmalf of all he has in them were he In a position to do so. The shippiite: board’s losses are due to faults of administration rather than to the people of the Government operation, Senator Hiram Johnson contends. Says Hiram “I have grown weary of having it said that we cannot do what one of us as a private individual can do,” says Johnson. "1 believe we can. Here is the case of an Individual operating a line for five years under the shipping board and losing money all the time. It was a terrible thing, it has been Implied for tho Government to engage In that activity. Then the board sells to the very man w r ho has operated tho line and he at once begins to make money. Somebody Is at fault under those circumstances, and it seems to me that the fault is In the Administration. “In the American Oriental line the vessels have just been repaired and put into government where the government may run them without a loss and now the board is getting rid of them. I don't like that policy."
