WHAT HAS HAPPENED: DIANA BBOOKS beautiful daughter Os ROGER BROOKS, owner and pubUsher of the Catawba City Times, and bine other newspapers, was kidnaped, and in a few days released, unharmed. Her father redoubles his scathing- attacks on politicians* of the Ring and leaders of the Underworld. A few days later Brooks himself disappears. DONALD KEENE, literary editor of the TIMES, learns that Brooks newspaper stock is being manipulated. He suspects JOHN W. WALDEN, prominent lawyer, of being involved in a plot to wreck the Broks organization. TEDDY PARBELL, reporter and Sob Sister, accompanies Don in a search for Brooks. Don is wounded and forced to remain entombed for fifty hours in a sub-cellar, Teddy with him. The Sob Sister effects their rescue and they are taken to a hospital, where Teddy soon recovers, but Don remains ill with pneumonia. BILL CANFIELD, city editor, and DINNY MORRISON, young reporter in love with Teddy, meet at Diana s home and as they 6 repare to visit the hospital, Roger rooks suddenly reappears. On the way to the hospital he tells the story of his Ebduetion. NOW GO ON. — 1 CHAi';i'ji*rt XII Don had been in the hospital six lays. At dawn of the seventh day lis nurse left his bedside with a sheerful face. Her patient had imiled squarely into her eyes when ihe had come to attend to him a monent before. His eyes were clear tnd bright, his breathing easy. To her professional pleasant greeting he had even attempted to re;pond with a "good morning.” His voice was pitifully weak. It was not until the eighth day, nowever, that Bill Canfield and Dinny, visiting him, felt that Don 30uld with safety be told the story jf his rescue. But even then, when Don heard it, his pulse went up alarmingly and a great wonderment contorted his face. Teddy visited hini later on that eighth day. Dinny and Bill had told her there was no doubt now about Don's recovery. She approached his beside almost Shyly. It was unnecessary for her to speak and she couldn't have done bo had she tried. Not right then. Her heartland soul were too full of gratefulness for his recovery—too full of the infinite love for this man which the brave little spirit still believed she had kept secret. The old smile, sweetly woman like, lighted the sick man's face upon her entrance. And there was anew, a deeper shade of tenderness in his voice when he spoke to her. ‘‘Bill and Dinny told me about it, Teddy girl. I hardly know what to ■ay. It's difficult, to thank you in words for what you did. 1 have th’ eame feeling I imagine must grip th’ hearts of a vast audience in a theater reviewing a wonderful drama, a thousand spectators too deeply touched by the performance to applaud. So I must give your Jbrave act the ‘silent tribute’.” Don's voice broke. He took his protege’s tremulous hands in his own and carried them to his lips. There was nothing theatrical nor affected in the action. It was just the spilling over of his pent-up emotions. His eyes were blurred .With unshed tears. Both were too overcome with feeling to speak for many seconds. The scene in the sub-celler spun about chaotically in the girl’s brain. Now, In aftermath, the episode came back to her with a vividness that was startling. She comforted herself with the thought that Don had been unconscious when she had made her wild declarations of Jove. ... t Don, too, was revolving In his wind recollections of those hours of horror. But some inexplicable power wade them both hesitate for a time [to speak of it. Bach felt separately [that anew bond had been created [between them. ... At the same time each was unconscious of the other’s feelings. Teddy attributed this feeling to her own hopeless love. Don to his secret knowledge of her revelation of that love. He had been sick and half crazed down there in the damp Cellar of Bino’s fruit store, uncon-

scious of his surroundings. Just once he had rallied to a fleeting consciousness. That fragmentary lucidity had been just enough to convey to him a realization that shocked and pained and at the same time thrilled him. His little protege loved him. He revered her. He owed her his life. But, in all honesty he could not say that he cared for her in the way, evidently, that she cared. Perhaps some day he might. He didn’t know... "Poor Charley!” He spoke softly after a long silence. "He didn’t deserve to die like that —and for me!” The eyes of the girl looking down at him were wells of tears. “It was a beautiful thing to do,” she said in subdued tones as if speaking of the dead gangster in his death chamber. The toughened but loyal soul of Charley Costello seemed to pervade the hospital room. "Come closer, Teddy." She complied, taking Don’s hands in her own. “I have something to ask you.’* The girl waited. "Will you marry me, Teddy?” he asked finally. She could not bring herself to lift her eyes. A blinding tumult surged up and through her brain and body. He barely heard her low-spoken reply, "Yes, Don,” as she bowed her head and sunk her hot face in his pillow. Then because she was ashamed of her tears and blushes she kissed him swiftly full on the lips and rushed from the room. . . . Later, out in the street, her tempestuousness abated. . . . Pie had asked her, Teddy, to marry him! Him —her Don—oh! She pressed her hand against her breast in an effort to lull the too sharp ecstacy that ached there. And yet |iy the time she had ridden the swaying, jerking trolley car back to the office her face was markedly pale. Franny Blake, passing her

desk, noted this and commented on it. “Don’t you feel well, Teddy?” she asked with friendly concern. She was etartled at the unusual pallor In the little reporter's face. Teddy’s brown eyes lifted from her typewriter and they were like luminous embers against a snowy background. "Oh, yes, I feel all right,” she answered, but her voice was hoarse. "Well, as long as you do,’’ said Franny, kindly, "but If you don’t, you must go home and get some more rest. Bill Canfield would be very, very sorry to have you working when you’re not fit. You’re th’ special pet of th’ office now, you know, Teddy-, ’’ she concluded with a smile. It was a rather wan little smile with which Teddy expressed her acknowledgement of the other girl’s consideration and compliment. Franny went back to her own desk and Teddy inserted a sheet of copy papaper In her typewriter. "He didn’t tell you he loved you.’’ She had by slow degrees arrived at this thought and It kept repeating itself over and over again In the recesses of her brain like the words of an old song. "He doesn't love you. He would have said so if he did.’’ It was hammering away in her brain. The keys of her typewriter ran together arid then grew distinct

intermittently. She heard voices —Bill Canfield’s, Franny’s and Mabel Gibson’s—as if from afar off. Don — Lola—Charley Costello—names, names, names! They rang In a confused jumble In her ears. She typed mechanically. As If in a dream she saw boys running back and forth with long sheets of copy paper "Make that for th' first edition!" That was the voice of the city editor “That’s th’ third alarm on that State street fire.” . . . One of the men on the telegraph desk was talking. . . . She tried to concentrate on commonplace affairs — those of her regular workaday world. Why weren't they thrilling her today? She wasn’t responding to the speed and tension of the big newspaper plant ■ Teddy could remember but one thing. Donald Keene had asked her to marry him Out of—was It gratitude? Yes, she told herself sadly. Or perhaps it'was pity. But he had NOT said he loved her.... Somehow she wrote the story the data of which she had secured early In the day. Somehow she managed to smile when she handed It to Canfield and he, after a rapid persual, exclaimed: "Great stuff, Teddy! Peach of a yarn!” The day seemed endless. At 7 o’clock she was going back to the hospital to see Don again. The prospect was both sweet and bitter. It was natural that Don should try to express hts gratitude In the only way at his disposal. Teddy, of course, did not know that his proposal of marriage had been prompted by something more than just gratitude —his knowledge of her feelings toward him. Her eyes were unnaturally bright when she entered his room. He noticed when she smiled, that her lips were bloodless and drawn at the corners. "You’ve had a hard day. haven't you, Teddy?” he asked kindly. “Yes, very,’ I 'she answered simply, and glanced restlessly away. Her fingers were clasping and unclasping as was her habit when she was unduly nervous. Then she seemed to gather herself—to get a clutch on her courage. It was as If she were waiving aside any preliminaries. j "Don, I must retract my promise. | I cannot marry you!”

He looked at her, studying her face intently for time. "Why, Teddy?” he asked finally. She waited to gather control. Then: "Because, Don, you do not love me. At least you did not mention that you’ did. And marriage with the love all on one side —” The voice broke in a choking sob. He made no response, offered no encouragement, no explanations. He appeared instead to be wrapped In thought. Teddy waited, daring to hope that he might protest that he djd care for her, that it was not all one-sided. But she did not ask him. (TO BE CONTINUED) Does Don really love Teddy? See the next chapter.
