WHAT HAS HAPPENED: DIANA BROOKS, beautiful daughter of ROGER BROOKS, owner and publisher of the Catawba City Times and nine other newspapers, was kidnapeq and in a few days released, unharmed. Roger Broks redoubles his scathing attacks on politicians of the Ring and Readers of the Underworld, then himself ■m e ALb KEENE, literary editor of the Times and guardian of pretty TEDDY FARRELL, reporter and Sob Sister, learns that Brooks newspaper stock is being manipulated. He suspects JOHN W. WALDEN, prominent lawyer, is involved in a plot to wreck the Brooks organization. _ , , . Don gets a clew to Brooks’ whereabouts and enlists the aid of CHARLEY COSTELLO, member of a feudist gang. Taking Teddy along, they go .in search of Brooks and have a battle with Costello’s enemies. Don and Charley are wounded, but escape from the gangsters into a sub-cellar, the entrance of which is worked by a trap and can be operated only from above. After they have been entombed for twenty-four hour; Costello dies. Don develops pneumonia and lapses into delirium. Teddy, frenzied, decides to kill herself if he dies. ■ But as she waits for death, she finds a ■ pickax and digs a way out. I NOW GO ON. k CHAPTER IX I It was 6 o’clock on the morning Wot their second day’s Incarceration ' in the sub-cellar when Teddy started to work with pickax and spade. At 10 o’clock that night a small figure garbed in what evidently had L been a dress, something resembling ■a human caked in mud from head to ■feet, staggered into a drug store on ■ Ann street and begged the clerk to r call the city desk of the Times. The clerk stared at the figure In astonishment, but he complied. A moment later his visitor was talking with Bill Canfield. “This is Teddy, Bill!” An excited eclamation struck her ear from across the wire. . “Oh, Teddy—thank God!” Bill’s voice shook. Then: “Where you been? Have yuh seen Don? Where are—” “Oh, wait a minute till I tell you. Then act —quick!” And she told him —very little, but enough—told him where she was and for him to get Dinny and Tim Whalen —if they could be found immediately—get a taxi and rush out to where she was waiting. She gave him the location of the store, hung up the receiver and turned to the clerk wt}o had listened to the onesided talk, amazed. “I’ll wait hero until my—my friends come,” she said, every word an effort uttered through sheer force of will power. She knew she must stay on her feet and keep moving in order to remain awake until Bill got there. When she had taken them to where Don lay in that awful cellar, then —. “Sure thing.” The clerk still stared. “May I have a drink of —of water?” She had almost forgotten her dry throat in the excitement of i escape from that tomb of "the quick And the dead.” Thirst had been clutching at her palate with an Insisttency almost maddening for more jhan a day and a night. Time and again during those wearisome hours of back-breaking labor it had seemed to her she-must get a drink or give up. But. she had fought on, toiled on with dogged grit, gaining courage with the progress of her job. And now—- “ How would a big glass of chocolate malted milk go?” inquired the clerk, at last showing some life. The drug clerk remembered now about reading about a missing editor, and he hustled the business of preparing the drink, with a drove of questions to ask. Teddy had nodded. Her tongue was swollen and dry and she spoke with difficulty. She leaned against the counter for support. Her trembling legs were aching with fatigue. The drink was a hundred times more delicious to thirsty Teddy than any nectar the gods ever served. Nothing she thought, could have been more suitable. “Thank you—it was just grand!” Her parched tongue articulated the words thickly. A moment later a taxicab drew up at the curb in front of the drug store and stopped. Dinny Morrison, closely followed by Bill Canfield, leaped out and hurried Inside. “Teddy!” The name dropped from the lips

of Dinny Morrison with a sharp emphasis on the first syllable. It was like an accusation but for the eager, questioning note it carried. “Teddy,” he repeated, catching the girl’s chilled, dirt-soiled hands in both his own, "what it is, little girl? What has happened?” Teddy looked into the faces of he? two friends and gathered strengt for a hurried explanation. They listened, tense interest coupled with anxiety showing in their eyes as she told with slow, painful articulation something of her awful experience in the last fifty hours. “We must —you must—go with me now —and —get Don,” she said in conclusion. Speech seemed to be growing more and more difficult with her. The two men looked at each other in grave silence. She caught the look, interpreting it correctly. “Don’t even—even think about — me!” she croaked, clutching at Bill Canfield’s sleeve. “I can keep—going for—awhile yet. Got to! C’mon, I’ll show —you—tIT place!” They left the taxicab at toe alley entrance from which Teddy had emerged a half hour before. The store was dark.

Bill tried the door and found it unlocked. He had borrowed a flashlight from the taxi driver. Teddy took the lead piloting them down the narrow stairs into the basement. She reasoned as she walked that her tunnel was too small to take Don out. She showed Bill the ventilator. He jerked it back and the block in the cement floor swung on its pivot disclosing the stairs leading to the sub-cellar. “You stay here,” he told the-girl. “We’ll get Don.” They found him as Teddy had left him, stretched out on his side on the whiskey cases. He was breathing hard. “I’ll carry him," Bill told Dinny and he picked up the unconscious form with the ease, almost, he would have exhibited in picking up a boy. Dinny was staring at the hole in the wall. “Good God!” he ejaculated, a'vast wonderment in voice and eyes, “Just see what that girl did! Would you have believed it possible?” Bill Canfield was too much occupied just then to more than glance at the yawning exit. Teddy, almost dead of fatigue, followed closely as Bill, with the sick Don in his arms, climbed the stairs leading up to the store. Here decaying fruit and vegetables gave fitting evidence that Bino was still a prisoner of the gangsters. Twenty minutes later Donald Keene was under the care of doctors and' nurses at the receiving hospital. Teddy, also, was taken in charge by the kindly Samaritans, bathed and put to bed, after a huge bowl of broth had been given her. It was close to 11 o’clock when Bill Canfield, having seen Don properly taken care of at the hospital and knowing Teddy was getting a long-needed rest, bethought himself of Diana Brooks. For two days and two nights she had kept the wire hot between her home and the Times office seeking news of Don and Teddy. She Tiad instructed Bill to call her at once If he got any word of them. Some busybodles had started the rumor that Don and Teddy had VANDERBILTS IN COURT Appear Before Friend Judge in the Suit for Divorce. Bu United Ureas PARIS, May 19.—Mr. and Mrs. William K.

eloped. This was dismissed as idiotic nonsense by Diana. She knew that Don had planned to visit K street on the afternoon of his and Teddy’s disaapearance. Putting two and two together Diana hit upon what was very close to- the truth. She was sure they had met with some mishap; that they had, perhaps, themselves been kidnaped. "I’m coming right over" to the hospital,” she told Canfield across ttie wire. “Please wait there for me.” Bill met her in the corridor and in answjer to her breathless questions told her as much of the story as he knew.

cellar, the gripping scene of Teddy’s heroic act. “A whale of a story—and we can’t use It now,” he suddenly exclaimed. “Don’s in there,” he continued, motioning toward a private ward close by. "But,” he hesitated, “he’s in a pretty serious condition. How it came about we don’t know as yet, but it seems that he was shot, the bullet having penetrated just under his left shoulder blade. The wound, coupled with the dampness of the cellar, superinduced pneumonia. He won't know Miss Brooks. I thought it best to prepare you. He’s unconscious now.” “Oh!” Diana caught her breath, "And Teddy—?” • “Teddy, of course, has been under a terrible strain, nervous and physical. But a few hours of rest, th’ doctor said, will put her back on her feet. Th’ poor kid’s more tiref and starved than anything else. She’ll be all right. Let’s see Don first.” “But he will live?” Diana whispered anxiously as they approached Don’s bedside. “Th’ doctor says he probably will, but pneumonia, is very serious you kgow,” replied Bill gravely.
