T' WHAT HAS HAPPENED DIANA BROOKS, beautiful daughter Ot ROGER BROOKS, owner and publisher of the Catawba City Times and nine other newspapers, was kidnaped from the veranda of her home and then released. Roger Brooks redoubles his attacks on corrupt city officials who appear to be in a league with the underworld. _ A few days later Brooks himself disappears. D6NALD KEENE, literary editor of the Times and guardian of TEDDY FARRELL, reporter and Sob Sister, learns that Brooks newspaper stock is being manipulated, lie suspects JOHN W. W ALDEN, prominent lawyer. Os being involved in a plot to w;reck the Brooks organization. . . Events disclose that Teddy is secretly In love with Don. Diana has been told that her father is concealed in an alien teuament district. and Don secures the aid of CHARLEY COSTELLO, a young Italian belonging to a feudist gang. When the two go in search of Brooks they encounted Teddy, who obtains Don's permission to accompany them. Tell trio ran into enemies of Costello's opposing gang and in a fight Don and Charley each receive a bullet wound. Taking Teddy along. Costello pilots Don to a sub-cellar. Before long they realize that they are trapped because they don't know how to open the secret door from the inside. NOW GO ON Chapter VI (Continued) And though his own leCt arm was numb to his finger tips and hung (useless at his side Donald Keene tnanaged to remove the other’s (Slothing above the waist. He found an ugly looking hole Borne four inches to the right of the spine and just above the lower rib. Evidently the lower part of the right lung had been pierced (from the rear. A thin trickle Os JSlood seeped from the wound. "I’d better get some water,” said J)on and rose to follow out his own suggestion. He found a spigot, but the spigot emitted nothing. He turned, dismayed, toward his two companions. The Italian was watching him with eyes that had grown big with anew, scared look In their dark depths. "No water!” he gasped in a jfshoked whisper. “Maria! What, jji God’s name, are we gonna do in this hell-hole without somp’n to drink? We can't drink that wine i—it’s like mud!” "It’s gonna be hell, all right!” !Don spoke grimly. “But let’s not ifjross any bridges till we reach them,” he added swiftly as he glimpsed the girl’s white face. "Anyhow, I’ll do what I can to stop (that blood flow.” All he could do, however, was to Use part of the undershirt as a pad fend fasten it with Costello’s belt around the body. “You might take a look at this one of mine,’ he said when he had finished. “Teddy, will you help me off with my coat and shirt, please?” His little protege stared at him. a wildi alarm spreading over her face. CHAPTER VII "Why, are you—you wounded, too, Don?” Teddy stammered, swaying toward him and grasping his right hand. The other dragged at his side like a wet cloth. Don nodded grimly. " ’Fraid I am, Teddy. But not seriously, I hope. Help me off with my coat and shirt an’ Charley’ll take a look at it. His judgment’s aa good as half th’ doctors.” A low moan of pity escaped the girl as she saw the ragged, ugly looking hole under his shoulder blade. She placed the tips of her fingers hear the spot. "Does it hurt—very much, dear?” Something in her voice caused Charley Costello to look at her ©uriously. Don did not appear to notice anything unusual in her tone or manner. The Italian looked at the wound. "Pretty bad,” be reflected, pressing the flesh over the Shoulder blade. “Feels like th’ bone

was cracked. But it Isn't bleeding much.” With Teddy’s help he bound up the wound, after a fashion. “Sufferin’ Ike!” exclaimed Don, shivering, “it’s cold down here! We'd better get our coats on again.” But even with their coats on the damp chill of the place was beginning to penetrate. Their wounds, too, the first numbness wearing off, were starting to pain them. “Caught in here like rats in a trap! I know what that hackneyed newspaper phrase means now.” It was Teddy’s voice that broke the deep silence. “But,’ she added hurriidly, "we’ll keep our nerve!” “Yes, I guess Bino’ll get word to somebody—” said Charley, trying to convince himself. As the hours passed Teddy divided her attention between the two men, providing them with what little comfort she could. She touched Don’s forehead and then Costello’s. Fever, she felt, was becoming manifest in both. "Madonna!” the gangster hissed, “but I’m thirsty!” Don broke the neck off one of the bottles ot whisky. He pourel some into a rusty tin cup and each took a liberal swallow. The stuff was raw. It did little to assuage their thirst, but it did lej them forget the burning wounds a little. “Midnight”’ Don snapped his watch shut. “Lie down, Teddy,” he said, indicating the improvised bed he had made out of several whisky cases. “Nope. Can’t sleep, anyhow. I’m too cold.” She was trying to be brave. But she burst out, “Don, we aren’t going just to sit here. Isn’t there something we can do?” For the thousandth time her eyes swept the room, then she settled back on a box, futility in her eyes. “Lou lie down, Don,” she said, quietly. She pulled him gently toward her and Don lay across the cases, too weary to protest. She held his head in her lap. Costello was lying on his side on a row of cases a few feet away. The Italian’s eyes were closed. His lips were drawn back from his white teeth in pain and his chest heaved laboriously. Teddy heard the rasping that accompanied each difficult breath. She touched Don softly anil he followed her glance toward Charley. Don reached over and placed his hand on his friend’s shoulder. “Charley,” he said gently, “I’m awfully sorry, old man, that I asked you to help me. I got you into this mess. You’d be at home all snug and comfortable now if it hadn’t been for me.” The young gangster turned his face toward his old-time buddy and a wry smile twisted his mouth. “Don’t you go to worryin’ about me, Angelface,” he said with a forced jocularity. “I was glad to help you." He was silent for severs l seconds. His speech was becoming more difficult as the moments passed. “I don’t s’pose he ever told you, did he,” be continued after awhile turning to Teddy, “ ’bout how he crawled across a shot-torn battlefield in France—himself near dead f’m gas-bombs—an’ dragged his buddy—me—to safety? No, ’course he wouldn’t —tell that. Well, that’s what—he done!” He paused again, as his teeth flashed in a grimace of pain. There was no doubt that he was hurt badly. “Listen, Don—Miss Farrell—” His words came jerkily. Strength was rapidly leaving him. “My wife

—” he went on —“my dear sweet wife got against—dope through—flu when I—l was in—in France. When I c-came back—l found her —hooked! Been gtvin’ it to —to her m’self lately—cuttin’ down dose. Got SO-grain solution in—in pocket. Hypo, too. Get it out —fer me, will—will you an’ —an’ gimme shot? Can’t—stand this pain—any longer!” Charley Costello had unwittingly called upon Donald Keene to do the one thing he hated above all things to do. Don had witnessed many times during his year of service overseas the results growing out of the administering of morphine to wounded soldiers. He had seen men fight and claw, beg and cry, for the drug. He made as to rise and comply, hut Teddy anticipated him. She took the hypodermic and gingerly adjusted the needle. “Fill th’ gun—quarter full,” directed Costello. “That’ll be half a grain—it holds two grains—15 full hypos in th’ bottle. When the instrument was ready, Teddy lost heart. Don saw her white face, and took the hypodermic from her. Holding up the skin on his friend’s left side he jabbed the needle in and pressed the piston. “Better take one—one yourself, Don,” advised the young gangster, “no use sufferin’ more’n nec'sary.” Although in an agony of pain Don shook his head. “Not for mine,” he said decisively. “I’ve seen too much of its work.” The wounded Italian leaned his head back against the cement wall and waited for the drug’s promised relief. But the pain he was suffering was overpowering the morphine’s effect, although he had been given a big dosage. “That's never—goin’ t’ get it!” he finally jerked out. Gimme 'nother shot—Miss. Miss Farrell! Make it a—a good one this —this time; half a gunfull! Might as well —croak one—way’s ’nother!” Teddy hesitated. “Damn it! Aain’t —yuh gonna—do it?” The Italian's face was twisted in a contortion of helpless rage and suffering. “It’s hell —I—tell you; For th’ lov’ o’ God, gimme ’nother shot!” Teddy glanced at Don, then: “All right—all right, I will. Here!” She refilled the gun—half full this time. A whole grain. She didn’t shrink this time,but administered it, watching the man with sorrowful eyes. In a few moments she saw him begin to relax. The whole grain of morphia was geting in its work. The hours dragged by.seemingly endless to the two wounded men and deadly wearisome to the girl, who racked her brain for a plan. The pale incandescent lamp cast a ghastly glimmer over the scene. Charley’s breathing had become a continuous rumble. The sound of it filled the small room. At first Teddy had kept a close watch over him. Now she saw the gangster was rapidly sinking into unconsciousness. Occasionally, the monotonous rasping of his breathing was broken by sharp, choking gurgles. Teddy would hasten to him and lean close, believing he wanted to speak. But the gangster’s eyes were glazed. No light of recognition seemed to glow In them. “God —Just one drink of water!” Don staggered up. Teddy sprang to assist him. “I’ve got to drink something,” he said desperately. He lurched toward one of the barrels. But there

was no way of getting at Its contents save by drinking from the bunghole. And the fermenting overflow, as Costello had said, was like mud. “Why does —Charley breathe like —like that?" Teddy’s voice was charged with terror as she asked the question. Don paused and considered, “sounds like pneumonia." He slumped down again, weakly. Teddy had determined hours before to keep her nerve at all costs. She must not lose it now, she told herself fearfully. “What time is it, Ted?" Don had raised himself, but the efTort was too much. He sank back on the hard cases. Teddy was looking at the watch. Its tiny hands pointed to 4 o’clock. “Better wind it, Pal,” Don advised in a feeble voice. Teddy wound it and held it to her ear to make sure of its ticking. As she listened the realization suddenly struck her that the room hayl become unnaturally hushed. Its explanation came to her in a flash. She missed the hoarse, steady ramble of the gangster’s breathing! (TO BE CONTINUED) In the next instalment, Teddy, the Sob Sister, is put to a supreme test.
