WHAT HAS' HAPPENED DIANA BROOKS, beautiful daughter Os ROGER BROOKS, owner and publisher of the Catawba City. Times and other newspapers, was kidnaped from home and in a few days released, unharmed. Roger Brooks redoubles lm scathing" attacks on politicians of the ring and leaders of the underworld, and then, a few days later, himself diaKEENE li, '7?,r£ r ,?^ t £ f the Times and guardian of TEDDY £ ARREEL, reporter and SOB SISTER, learns that Brooks newspaper stock is m w manipulated. Ho suspected JOHN W. WALDEN, prominent lawyer, as being involved in a plot to wreck the Brooks OI " I)ia'na * leams that her father is concealed in an alien tenement district and Don. who secures the aid of CHARLEY COSTELLO, a young Italian belonging to a feudist gang. Accompanied by Teddv. tliey go in search, of Brooks and are intercepted by enemies of Costello. Don and Charley receive bullet wounds, but escape into a sub-cellar, the entrance of which is worked by a trap and can be operated only from above. lor hours they remain pnsoners. CHAPTER VIII Teddy pushed the watch into a pocket and crept to Costello s side. He was lying absolutely still. Beads of moisture which had gathered on on his brow cought the ray of light and flashed there like tiny diamonds. His mouth gaped open and his eyes were unblinking. The girl touched his face and recoiled with a low cry. Charley Costello had “pulled his gat” for the last time! Teddy averted her gaze and crept back to a place beside Don. “Is he —dead?” Don’s voice broke as he put the question. Teddy shivered before nodding, too agitated to speak. Neither uttered any comment for several moments. Realization of theii situation had taken hold of them in all its naked horror. Despite this Teddy succeeded finally in steeling herself against the feeling of despair that kept assailing her. From time to time she would rise from her vigil beside her guardian to explore again the possibilities of escape from this nightmare of a place. She tugged with all the strength Os her virile young hands at the ventilator-like contraption in the side-wall. But as Costello had said, it was apparently impossible to work the trap from below. The air was fetid. The odors from the sour mash and the fermenting wine mingling with the dank vapors from the slimy ooze of wet clay were becoming more and more revolting. Don had been lying still for a long time. To Teddy it seemed hours. Her own hands were clammy and her limbs numb from cold, but Don’s entire body was hot. His breath was like the air from a heated oven. “Don —Oh, Don!” Teddy was shaking him gent'ly. “Don, dear, say something!” “Yes, yes, Lola —wait . . . stupid kind of—legacy . . . fool interit'ance Teddy listened, tense. Don was rambling, incoherent. His eyes burned with delirium. She shook him again. A cold wave constricted her own breathing. Dread of the Thing she dared not name was beginning to clutch at her heart. “What’s th’ idea— snubbing Ted like that? . . .Diana—” NoStomach Trouble or Rheumatism Now Suffered for 30 Years, Before He Found Right Road to Health. There is mighty good news for sick people, in a letter written by Harvey Knox, Route 2, Gaston, Ird. He feels sure other suffers cdn regain health just as he did. Mr. Knox writes: ' “I had stomach trouble for thirty years. My stomach would bloat and cramp. The gas would crowd back my heart, and the pains were awful. My appetite was poor and I had to watch what I ate all the time. I also had rheumatism in my right leg below the knee, and my ankle swelled up so I could hardly walk. Nothing I would take did me any good. Then I heard of Yiuna and bought a bottle, and right from the first I felt better. Now I feel fine. My stomach trouble is all gone. No gas, none of that bloating, and I can eat anything and plenty of it. My rheumatism is gone, doesn't pain or swell at all, and my leg is as good as it ever was. My weight was formerly 140 pounds, and now I weigh 157 pounds, a gain of 17 pounds. I lay piy present state of good health t<y Viuna.” Ylnna acts promptly bn 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 Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. , VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

Don’s jumbled words struck her ear distinctly. “She has —Charley—need you help He sighed and stirred, moaning. “Don, this is Teddy—look, Don. Teddy’s here with you.” Sobs welled up In her throat almost choking her as she watched him with bated breath. A slow smile crept across his face. “Must’ve fallen —alseep, I guess Damn —th’ pain!” * “Please—oh, please, Don, let me give you some of th’ drug,” she pleaded, sobbing now. “I can’t bear to see you suffer so!” The fingers of his left hand groped for hers, found her wrist and closed around It. "All right, Ted.” The girl trembled at the touch of his fingers. Then with a little quick In-drawing of her breath she freed her wrist and reached for the hypodermic. She could hardly adjust the needle. Her fingers felt like pieces of wood. “A half grain—quarter full—” the Italian had said. She drew up the solution and administered the shot as she had watched Don do to Costello. A minute or two passed. He appeared more at ease, she thought. But his breathing was still heavy. After awhile she rose, stepped across tlife room and twisted the spigot in the wall, hoping against hope of finding water. The hope was vain. With a corner of her handkerchief she soaked up some of the fermenting wine and touched it to Don’s fevered lips to moisten them. While she was busy at this operation her eyes wantered to where the Latin lay dead. She couldn’t shut out for many minutes afterwards the vision of those staring eyeg and the rigid body. With averted gaze she reached over and covered the gangster's face with the handkerchief. When she sat down beside Don again he had relapsed into his fevered ravings. She took his head In her lap, her slim body racked with sobs. Now she was sorry he was inanimate, it made her alone —oh, so alone! ' Again and again she called to him, imploring, begging him to come back to reason and to her. “Don, darling—oh, God, you mustn’t die!” She bent her head in an abandon of grief and covered his face with kisses. The memory of his slow, woman-like smile nearly maddened her. “If you were to die here, I—l don’t want to live. I love you, Don —you mustn't die! Oh, my own —my Don, my Don!” Donald Keene’s lids fluttered open, but the frantic girl did not notice it. Her cheek was pressed against his. She did not know that during the last part of her passionate outburst the light of consciousness had for several moments lingered in the eyes of the man she loved. Then he leaped again into the chaotic visions of fever. Teddy dared net look in the direction where the dead Italian lay. It seemed to her that her own brain was ready to snap. She wondered if, after all, she had not been dreaming—if thjs awful experience was but just an hallucination. Then her gaze fell on vial of morphia solution and she knew it was all a terrible reality.

She stooped and picked up the bottle. “Half a grain—quarter full.” The words rang in her ears confusedly. Suddenly a startled look flashed across her face. A gleam of something like insane cunning crept into her eyes. “I don’t—have to—to stay on all, —all alone if you die, dear,” she muttered aloud and a little smile, swiftly fleeting, lingered for art instant on her lips. “I’ll go with you!” Slowly, with a deliberation bc#n of a deadly purpose, she filled the gun—two whole grains. “And if this doesn’t do it I’ll take it all next time,” she whispered huskily, pressing Don’s face against her breast in a sudden passion of hearthunger. “I don’t want to live without you!” She rocked gently back and forth, waiting listening . . . All at once she realized that her gaze had become fixed upon something in the opposite corner. It was a spade Standing close byAvas a pickax. Suddenly she stiffened. The tired eyes grew bright with the light of a salient hope. An inspiration had been born ... My God, why hadn’t the men seen those tools! She studied the side wall of clak held back by planks fitted close together. Through the narrow crevices oozed a thick slime. Looking at these planks and the clay back of them her mind’s eye envisioned the possibilities in the plan of escape, the nucleus of which

had come to her at sight of the spade and pickax. The wall was on the side next the alley. She esth mated the distance one would have to dig to reach the surface of the alley. The first basement, she figured, wag about eight feet from floor to ceiling whioh would be leveLwith the ground’s top. The subceller was about seven feet in height. A combined depth of 15 feet. She w’as desperate now. Strength she never had before or after seemed to come to her. She dug in a fever. Later, she couldn't tell clearly, how she fought a hole outward .and upward in the clay of the sidewall: or of her ingenuity in setting up a staging on which to stand to continue her job: or of those 36 hours of man-killing toil with pickax and spade. Suffice to say, she did it. She affected an exit from that living tomb and brought about Donald Keene's and her own rescue. That it seemed to those who saw the great hole she dug to have been an achievement almost super-human in its scope.
