WHAT HAS HAPPENED: Diana Brooks, beautiful daughter of Roger Brooks, owner and publisher bf the Catawaba City Times end nine other newspapers, was kidnaped and in a few days released, unharmed. Her father redoubled hig scathing attacks on politicians of the Ring and leaders of the Underworld. A few days later he himself disappears. Donald Keene, literary editor of the Times and guardian of Teddy Farrell, reporter and Sob Sister, learna lhat Brooks newspaper stock Is being manipulated and suspects John W. Walden, prominent lawyer, of being involved in a plot to wreck the Brooks organization. Don. in an attempt to locate Brooks, is shot by enemies of Charley Costello, a young gangster, whose aid he enlisted. Teddy accompanies them. They are forced to remain entombed in a subcellar for 50 hours. Costello dies, but Teddy digs a way out and Don is taken to a hospital seriously ill with pneumonia. Bill Canfield, city editor of the Times, and Dinny Morrison, young reporter. in love with Teddy, meet Diana at her home and prepare to visit the hospital. As they are about to leave. Roger Brooks reappears as suddenly as he had gone. On the way to the hospital he tells the story of his abduction. NOW GO ON. CHAPTER X (Continued) “I don’t know.” replied Pop. “They’d gone before I got the bandage off. In fact, during the five days I was kept in the room I didn’t see a soul nor hear a sound—except from the Negro who brought me food occasionally. There were a couple of windows in the room, but they faced the brick wall of some high buildings with only a foot or two between. There was a bathroom, too, but it didn’t have any windows.” “Why, that—that must have been the same room in which I was kept!” exclaimed Diana, her eyes big. “Was there a print on the wall—a picture of Napoleon's fall at Waterloo?” Pop Brooks nodded, a broad smile on his rugged face. “There was—just that,” he said, the smile widening. "Didn’t you try to make a getaway when the Negro came and went — slip past him, or something?” questinued Dinny foolishly alert for a chance tq make some smart crack that would impress Teddy. “The Negro had a big revolver, Dinny,” replied Pop with a rare un- j derstanding of Dinny’s rather pitiful gesture. “And early this morning,” he resumed, smoothly, “he bound and gagged me again. And I endured it because—just because I had to. Then I was led down stairs to the street and pushed into a car. I guess it was the huskies who brought me to the place who did the pushing.” .... CHAPTER XI Roger Brooks lighted a cigar and continued his story. “We must have ridden for nn hour or more before the car came to a stop. I heard the door open and felt myself released. The car was speed- j ing away again. By the time I got j the bandage off it was too far away for me to see the license, and it was covered with mud anyhow. I guessed that I was on the west side of town. The houses along there are few an’ far between, you know. I walked four blocks to a filling station and telphoned for a taxi.” “It’s almost identical with the experience I had when I was kidnaped!” threw in Diana for good measure. “It must have been the same forces behind it," she continueded, guiding the machine more by intuition than by purpose. "But what is their object? It makes me feel as if there were a sort of sword, like that of Damocles, hanging over the Brooks family!’’ “Th’ only clue we seem to have to work from,” said Bill Canfield, picking up the thread of talk, "is th’ location around K— street, where Don and Teddy met their Waterloo when they were given that hunch about where you were supposed to be held, Pop.” “It’s mighty queer business all around,” reflected Pop. “I’ll start, an inquiry as soon as I get back to the office. I’m going to rip up hell!” he added, with determination. “But let’s see Don and Teddy.” They waited in a reception room of the hospital while a white-clad supervisor performed the formalities of ascertaining whether so many visitors could be admitted to the sick ward at once. “Pop! Mr. Brooks! 'Vyhat—?” Teddy stood before them, a glad light shining in her brown eyes. Mrs. Speed, her landlady, had been appraised by telephone of her young tenant's needs and had come to the hospital herself with a complete change of apparel. Except for a mild pallor touching her cheeks, the girl’s healthy, fresh young countenance almost belied the truth of her recent hair-raising adventure. “Oh, Teddy, you’re well so soon! Gee, I’m glad!” Dinny did not make any pretense of even trying to keep the rush of tenderness from his voice as he sprapg to her side. Teddy bit her lip, wincing inwardly at this impulsively honest confession of Dinny’s sentiments regarding her. “Why, of course I’m well. But I’m not th’ main issue, Dinny,” she chided him gently. “Tell me, Mr. Brooks,” she added quickly, turning to- the Big Boss, “where have you been all this time? We thought She stopped, catching her breath with a little gasp as she sighted the general snupervisor who had just returned. “Never mind now,” she hurried on “you can tell me later!" The assistant head nurse joined them at that moment. “You may go in alone for a moment,” she announced to Mr. Brooks, whom she recognized. There was scarcely any change in Don’t condition. He was still unconscious. The visitor, after a few 1 moments at his bedside, departed. Diana and Lola returned home, while Pop, Canfield, Teddy and Dinny rode on down to the Times office. “Hully Gee!” Tommy, the elevator boy, danced up and down as Roger Brooks stepped into the elevator. “G-gosh, it’s really y-you, ain’t it, Mr. Brooks?” he stuttered, his mouth wide open with glad surprise. “Me, myself. Tommy." Pop patted the lad’s shoulder, his

“In a few moments everyone in the big plant knew that Rogers had re turned.”

worried expression giving way temporarily to a fleeting smile of amusement, Jane Dexter, his secretary, had just entered his private office. She caught at a chair back and stood as if petrified when, turning around she found herself facing her employer. Her startled eyes expressed the joyful surprise she couldn't at that moment utter. She dropped into the chair at her typewriter and continued to stare. A twinkle shone in Pop’s eyes as he removed his coat and hat. Then slowly, methodically, he lifted a tattered lid from the rack, wiped his handkerchief lovingly around the brim and placed it carefully on his head. Teddy, meanwhile, was breezing through the city room, a barrage of questioning stares following in her wake. A crowd gathered around her. “Teddy, tell us about it! Oh, Teddy, it’s just too thrilling!” were the cries that greeted her from Mabel Gibson, society editor end Franny Blake, writer of advice far the lovelorn. “Oh, girls—please, please let me take my time!” pleaded Teddy, as her two colleagues pounced on her. Teddy’s narrative, however, did not begin just then. Both girls fell away from her almost with a single movement and both gasped at what they saw. Down from the end of the big room, threading his way between reporters’ desks, came Roger Brooks. His battered hat was tilted back on his head and except for a slight nervousness he approached Bill Canfield’s desk as if nothing had happened—as if he had not disappeared, vanished mysteriously from out of the ken of all his acquaintances five days before. “Well, I’ll be —” Franny Blake caught herself—in midair, as it were. In a few moments everyone in,the big plant of the Catawba City Times knew that Roger Brooks had returned. The word spread like a forest fire, followed shortly afterward by distorted repetitions of the facts about his kidnaping. Os course, in time, everyone got the story straight, but not before the fertile imaginations of various linotype operators and compositors had supplemented the first telling with plenty of sensational color. That day the Times carried a streamer on the story, and a double-leaded challenge from Roger Brooks. The day following Teddy’s and Don’s escape from the sub-cellar and Pop’s return from his enforced absence was a busy day for Teddy and Bill Canfield. One of the first things Bill did after hearing the girl’s more detailed story of Don’s and her experience was to call up the city officials and acquaint them with the shooting in K— street and the subsequent death of Charley Costello. The latter’s wife was also located and the dread news broken to her. That afternoon Teddy was subpoenaed as a witness at the coroner's “Poor Teddy has to bear th’ brunt of th’ whole thing,” commiserated Dinny Morrison, who was called up-

on to report the inquest, as lie tele- : phoned his story to Bill Canfield. Roger Brooks, in conference with ! the city editor at the moment, ! caught the reporter's lemark and smiled. "I think,” he said as he lifted the ancient head piece he wore and ran his fingers meditatively through his white hair, a little trick he had whenever stirred to any special action, “I think Teddy's splendid work in this case calls for a raise. Just make a note of that. Bill,” lie added to the city editor, "and send it down to me with your week’s salary vouchers so I won't forget it.” Dinny dutifully reported the incident to Teddy sometime later when lie met her in the Times restaurant. She acknowledged the information with a shrug. She was 'thinking, her brow wrinkled, of what poor Don was getting out of the adventure. And Charles Costello— Teddy paid Don a visit at the hospital that night. Diana, Lola and Don's mother had already been there, she was told by the nurse on duty. Although still unconscious most of the time the doctors indicated that the siok man’s chances for recovery were growing more and more favorable since they had found the bullet and removed it. “His fever is decreasing fast,” the nurse told Teddy, shaking the thermometer she had just taken from his mouth. "I’m glad,” said the girl simply. The depth of feeling she managad to express in this brief utterance and the adoration with which her eyes encompassed Don aroused the nurse’s curiosity. “Your sweetheart?” Teddy started.

DESPAIRED OF EVER HAVING GOOD COMPLEXION Pimples relieved after trying well known remedy “My skin had been very clear up to a while ago when blackheads and then pimples developed. They spread rapidly and I was terribly annoyed. I used several suggested remedies without good results, and was disgusted and just ready to give up hope of ever having a good complexion again when I saw one of your advertisements. At the same time, a friend recommended Resinol Soap and Ointment so I began to use them. After a few applications my trouble was relieved, and I now keep these products always on hand. ] They are so soothing and refreshing ! and I find the ointment so good for | the scalp and for chapped hands.” j —(Signed) Miss Carmel De Felice, E. ! 1723 Third Avenue, Spokane, Wash., Jan. 31.
