r WHAT HAS HAPPENED DIANA BROOKS, beautiful daughter of ROGER BROOKS, owner and publisher of (he Catawba City Times and nine other large newspapers, was kidnaped from the veranda of her home and released twenty-four hours later, unharmed. Roger Brooks redoubles his struggle to break the power of corrupt city officials and politicians of the Ring and the Underworld. Then Brooks himself disappears. Members of his loyal staff devote their untiring efforts to searching for him. Among .them are DONALD KEENE, literary editor and guardian of TEDDY FARRELL, reporter and SOB SISTER who is secretly in love with Don. The case becomes a sensation. Don learns that Brooks newspaper stock is being manipulated and goes to JOHN W. WALDEN JR., member of the city’s leading law Ann, for explanation. Walton’s evasions arouse Don’s suspicions. When Diana gets a clew to her father’s whereabouts, Don secures the aid of a wartime buddy, CHARLEY COSTELLO, a young gangster and feudist. As they start on their expedition they encounter Teddy, who begs Don’s consent to accompany them. He reluctantly grants it. . CHAPTER VI A quick gasp escaped Charley as he starred back. His right hand leaped to a holster beneath his left arm. Don got a glimpse of a heavy revolver gripped in lithe fingers. “Beat it, Don—up th’ stairs— Ijuick!” The words shot from one corner of his mouth. The next instant the sharp crack of a pistol sounded beyond the partition. This was followed swiftly by another, a still sharper report from the gun in Costello’s hand. A stream of fire flashed before Don’s eyes. He heard excited voices and the scrape of chairs. Then again came the cry from his friend. “Beat it, damn it all—get outta here! Hell’s loose! That’s Nick Valetti an’ his gang in there! I got ’im, I guess! C’mon!” He leaped as he spoke across to the door through which they had entered the basement. Don followed close on his heels. Almost before the two reached the top of the stairs a chorus of shots rattled from below. Don felt the impact of a sharp blow iust under his left shoulder blade. He heard a coughing grunt at his side. Then: “Around th’ corner! Make for Bino’s fruit store. Th’ gang'll follow us—sure!’’ The two dashed through the rear exit. As they turned into K street Don saw Teddy standing in front of the store at the alley. He tried to shout to her —to tell her to go back to the office. Costello, running at his side, was breathing heavily. They reached th<? entrance to Bino’s. “In here!’’ gasped the young gangster and signalled to Teddy. She followed them Instantly into the store. A slender, dark-faced man dropped a bunch of bananas he was carrying and stared. “Quick, Bino —plant us!” croaked Costello, fighting for breath, “I just

Was Constipated Weak and Bilious Just Dragged Himself Around for Tears. Perfectly Well Now. For the benefit of others who suffer from constipation and indigestion, Mr. Wm. Beal, 117 N. High St., Hartford City, Ind., has written an interesting letter telling how he conquered these ailments and got his health back. He says: "I suffered with stomach trouble Ind a torpid liver for ten years. My appetite was poor and I was troubled with frequent attacks of biliousness. My complexion was yellow, I was troubled with constipation and all run down. I just had no pep at all. II tried different medicines and nothing did me any good. Several friends recommended Vluna to me, so 1 tried it. After a couple of days I saw that at last I had found the medicine that I had been looking for. My appetite came back and the things I ate began to taste good to jne. The bilious attacks stopped and my complexion began to clear jup, so I kept right on, and now I feel fine. I can eat anything, my constipation Is gone, and for a man $3 years old, I am full of pep.” Vluna acta promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then If you're not glad you tried Vluna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind.

VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

Don’t be a Victim of “Spring Fever”

You Can Easily Avoid the Depressing Effects of the Changing Season. In the Spring, many people find themselves losing appetite, are overcome by a lack of energy, and a rundown feeling takes possession of their whole body. Spring is a great renovating season, when Nature throws off the accumulated impurities and prepares the system for the change it must undergo before merging into the coming Summer. At this time, the energies relax, and an unspeakable languor pervades the entire system, giving that worn-out, good-for-nothing feeling, co commonly called “spring fever.” The important thing, therefore, is

“No,” said Charley, shaking his h ead, "Bino won’t squeal on me, but—”

bumped off Nick Valetti an’ his gang's after us!” A grim tightening of the lips of the Latin-faced man marked his comprehension. “You knowa da place,” he stated briefly and waved his hand toward the rear of the store. “C’mon,” coughed Charley Costello, lurching in the direction of the door at the right. Opening this he piloted the way down a narrow stair, closely followed by Donald Keene and Teddy Farrell. Little Teddy was not being left out of this experience, she told herself with an exultant thrill. The basement in which they found themselves was dimly lighted by an incandescent globe. Staggering drunkenly across the cement floor, Costello grasped the bottom of what appeared to be an iron ventilator set in the wall. He jerked it toward him. With the motion a section of the cement floor some four feet wide and six feet long swung on a pivot revealing an opening leading to regions below. “Go on!” he whispered to his two companions. “I gotta let th’ block down!” Don gripped Teddy’s hand and felt his way down a dozen steps to the bottom where they waited, the girl trembling with excitement, he weak from the shock of the bullet in his body, A moment later they were joined by Charley Costello. “Strike a match!” came the choking command of the young Italian, “till I find th’ bulb!” The flame revealed an incandescent at the end of a wire suspended from the low ceiling. Costello snapped it into life. Don and Teddy glanced swiftly around. They were in a sub-cellar some 14 feet square. In one corner resting on four-by-fours were two barrels from the bung-lilies of which oozed the overflow of fermenting wine. Another corner held a small still not then In operation. On its top was a copper boiler half filled with cold mash. An unpleasantly pungent odor, thrown off by the fermenting wine

There IS Relief! Don’t suffer pain that you can overcome without harm. The pain remedy called No-Ake offers real relief, and it IS harmless. A splitting headache, an aching jaw or painful sinus relieved inside of ten minutes. Even neuralgia and neuritis need have no terrors for the man or woman who knows the quick influence of No-Ake. Only a doctor can cure the causes of many pains. But the pain itself is something you, yourself, can relieve—completely. Why not get No-Ake today, at the drugstore, and be prepared? Try it some night when you can’t get to sleep!

and sour mash struck their nasal organs. The floor, ceiling and walls on three sides were of cement. On the fourth side tightly fitting planks held back the blue clay but not the slime that oozed through the narrow crevices. The place was damp and colder by 20 degrees. than the air in the street. Piled up along one wall were case after case of bottled goods marked “Canadian Whisky.” Don glanced at the young Italian who had sunk down on one of the cases. “Bootleg stuff!” hq remarked with succinct brevity. The other held up a warning finger. “Quiet —th’ gang!’ he cautioned in a husky whisper as the sound of voices fell on their ears. He motioned toward a ventilator in the wall, a duplicate of the one above by which he had operated the pivot block. “That's Bino’s tip-off,” he hissed, “from th’ store when he's workin’ down here. Listen—” “Looka here, Bino,” they heard a harsh voice saying, “you better come clean with us! That pair musta ducked in here for It’s th' only place they coulda got into in th' short time they had. Now, where are they?” “Nobody here but me,” came the evenly spoken reply of the storekeeper. “Who you lookin’ for?” “You know damn well who we’re lookin’ for! It’s Charley Costello of Venola's gang. He bumped off Nick Valetti just a few minutes ago an’ we’re gonna get ’im, see?” “Well, get 'im—l’m not stoppin’ yuh,” they heard Bino reply shortly. “You’re damn right you ain’t stoppin’ us. An’ you ain’t helpin’ them birds either. I guess we’ll put you in a place you’ll stay put f’r a few days or till you wise us up to where them two guys went. Or maybe—" He flashed a gun threateningly. Don Keene, looking at Charley Costello, saw the Italian start as the man above voiced his intentions regarding Bino. “C'mon, Bino, you go with us!”

INDIANA ADDING NEW INDUSTRIES C. of C. Report Shows Gain Despite Depression. An unusually large number of important industrial enterprises has been brought to Indiana the first quarter of 1927, through the equalization of freight rates on furniture, iron, steel and petroleum products, a State Chamber of Commerce official reported today. W. H. Arnett. Chamber manager, reported an improved condition in basic industries that warrants an optimistic summer and fall business outlook despite the apparent depression in certain lines. Resistance to increased tariffs on pig iron, metal furniture, sand, and other raw materials, have, in the same period, served to maintain the_ competitive strength of factories already operating in Indiana, the Chamber announced. With reduced rates on iron and steel now effective, bringing carrying costs of both raw material and finished products to the low level that abtains in competing areas, the markets for Indiana manufacturers have been conserved and further selling opportunities opened up.

The voice upstairs held a note of j finality in it that struck a chill ! into the heart of Donald Keene, j He searched Costello's face. “Well,” he said In a low tone as they caught the slam of a door above, “it begins to look as if we'd grabbed off a fine big hunk f’r ourselves! Bino will squawk in about an hour an’ then that gang’ll come down here an' clean up on us!” “No,” said Charley, shaking his head, "Bino won't squeal on me, but—” He stopped. In his dark eyes burned a light impossible to define. | Don waited, wondering. “But what?” he prompted finally. J “We’re in a tight place. I’m i afraid, Don,” replied the young gangster. “For th’ hell of it is,” [ he went on slowly, “I don’t know how to work that damn block from ! below. In fact, I don’t tliink it can be worked from underneath. Th’ ! only other time I was down here j was with Bino and his wife worked | th’ trap from up above when wc | got ready to leave!” Don looked anxiously at Teddy. The girl had been listening to Costello with a swiftly growing fear showing in her eyes. He took her hand and pressed it reassuringly. “Don’t fret, little pard,” he said, trying to assume an unconcern he did not feel. “We’ll get out of here some old way.” A warm flush dyed the girl's soft cheeks. Don turned to the Italian hunched up on the whisky case. “They got you, too. didn't they?” he said, and knelt down in front of his war time buddy. “Here, let me help you off with that coat and shirt till I see how bad."
