WHAT HAS HAPPENED DIANA BROOKS, beautiful daughter of ROGER BROOKS, owner and publisher of the Catawba City Times and a chain of nine other newspapers, was kidnaped and in a short time .released, unharmed. Her father is en’raic’d in a persistent fight against the corrupt administration of Catawba City and through the medium of me Times, redoubles his scathing attacks on politicians of the ring and defies the underworld. _ , ~ .. A few days later Brooks himself disappears. DONALD KEENE, literary editor. in an attempt to locate Brooks, is wounded and forced to remain entombed for fifty hours in a sub-cellar. With him is EDNA (TEDDY) FARRELL, his ward and Sob Sister, of the Times. She effects their rescue and while both are in a hospital. Roger Brooks suddenly reappears. When Don is convalescing he asks Teddy to marry him out of gratitude and because he has learned that she loves him. She accepts, but later refuses him. realizing that he does not love her in the earns way that she loves him. Roger Brooks, on his return, finds that Brooks newspaper stock is being manipulated and suspects JOHH W. WALDEN, member of a prominent law firm, of being involved in the plot to wreck the Brooks organization He visits Walden who maintains an evasive attitude. Brooks continues his investigations. NOW GO ON CHAPTER XIV ‘Good!” he exclaimed, his leonine head thrown back, “Gimme th’ partlo’lars.” ‘Th’ partic’lars are these," said the city editor, seating himself In Pop’s one “extra” office chair. “This fellow, Copley, Is just th’ tool of a gang and th’ gang is made up of tools of the Ring. Mr. Creedly an’ I had a talk with Copley this mornin’, an' he told us this much —just enough to show us he could be persuaded to give out th’ whole story ’bout your kidnaping, at least.” “Uh-huh,” said Pop tentatively. ‘ “Well,” went on Bill, "assurance of immunity an’ a hundred bucks will pull the dope outta him.” - “Good stuff —when do you see 'im again?” “He’s to meet me here at th’ Times at 5:30 p. m. Bill glanced at the small timepiece on Pop's desk. "An hour Pm now. Shall I bring ‘im up when he arrives?” “Yes. I’ll be waiting for you. Just a minute," as the other made a move to rise. “I want to tell you something.’’ He reviewed brifly the particulars of his call on J. W. Waldeiv Sr., of the lawyer’s peculiar friendliness, his admission about being approached by an agent buying Brooks stock and the unsolicited promise to sell to none but him —Pop, if he sold at all.

Couldn’t Bend, Back Ached So Kidneys Disturbed Him During the Night. Trouble Gone Now. Readers who are suffering from backache and kidney pains, know how wonderful it felt to Mr. A. M. Caudell, Fortville, Ind., to be rid of this agonizing trouble. Mr. Caudell writes: “Six weeks ago I got a _severe aching in my back. It just seemed as if my back would break in two, and I could not stobp over without pain. I was nervous, and my kidneys disturbed me during the night, so I did not get much sleep. I would get up in the morning with a dull aching headache and feeling just

as tired as whenM went to bed. Nothing did me any good till I found Viuna, and right from the first I began to improve. * The hurting in my back stopped and I went to bed and got a good night’s rest. My nervousness has gone and I can sit down to .the table and eat a good hearty meal. I tell you Viuna is a wonder, I don’t have to get up at all at night any more and am feeling fine.” Viuna 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

“To hear him talk,” continued Pop Brooks, his shaggy brows contracting to form an almost unbroken line across the broad forehead, “you’d think my personal affairs, my interests, my family even, were of paramount importance to him. At that,” he added quickly with a sudden lowering of voice and bending a shrewd look on Bill Canfield, “if it so happens that my recent-born suspicion proves correct then Jawn Walden has got one heluvalot of interest in my personal, affairs!” The gleam that leaped Into his listener’s eyes seemed to warm the cockles of Roger Brooks’ heart. He chuckled softly and leaning over, patted the other’s knee. To an onlooker the little action would have carried no particular significance; with Pop just then it conveyed a world of meaning—lmplied a trust that was implicit, a faith unassailable. “You never heard th* inside facts. Bill,” went on the Big Boss, and there was that in his deep rumble that held the promise of something specially interesting. ‘Th’ inside story of —of th’ Anna Sutherland case. Walt —’’ as the man seated before him gave a start and seemed about to speak, “wait till I tell you something first. Then you can talk, if you wish. It so happens that it is particularly opportune right now, this little story of th’ Anna Sutherland case. So listen carefully.” The former look of calm expectancy on Bill Canfiefllfld’s face had given way to one of vitally absorbing interest. The fingers of his right hand clutched the chair arm anil he sat straight up. waiting. “You, of course, remember th’ trial well, as you reported it yourself," began Pop in a reminiscent tone. "It was ten years ago this April, you’ll recall. Th’ Times, from start to finish, favored Tom Sutherland. In fact, you know and I know and th’ public, knows it was th’ continuous pounding by th’ Times oft th’ question of th’ ‘Unwritten Law’ that ultimately freed Sutherland."

His listener nodded, waiting. Pop went on, choosing his words with meticulous care. 1 “John W. Walden Sr. was attorney for th’ defense. You expressed some disgust. I remember, when th' announcement was made that Jawn W. was to appear for Sutherland. I told you then there, was a reason—hut I didn't tell you what th’ reason was. I’m going to tell you ina minute. “It's needless to go into th’ partic’lars of th’ case. On its face it was very much like scores of other triangle tragedies. Anna Sutherland was th’ apple of Tom’s eye, She was beautiful—too beautiful for her own good. He trusted her —too well, his friends said—and so it seemed from the evidence. She liked sociability, was fond—no, eager—for admiration. She had a bunch of men tagging after her all th’ time. Tom looked on—and grinned. “But there came a time when he didn’t, grin. When he learned his Anna had gone to Barry St. Clair's apartments after a dance —alone with him—then Tom swore, both loud and deep. He told St. Clair to keep away from his wife. He told her to behave herself.

“But St. Clair Ignored Tom's warning and made a wager in the presence of some of Tom's friends that Anna Sutherland would visit him—alone —ln his rooms th’ fol. lowing night. “And she did—or so Tom then believed. We Jcnow what happened. St. Clair was killed—shot through th’ heart in his own bedroom by Tom Sutherland. Tom gave himself up ar. once. He had no money for a lawyer. John W. Walden —to everybody's surprise—offered his services. Why? Nobody knew. Even you expressed wonder as well as disgust. I’m going to tell you very shortly why. “Well, th’ case came up for trial. Then hell broke loose. Tom refused to allow his wife to testify in his behalf. Refused th' plea of th’ unwritten law. “But Anna Jjytherland had better sporting blood in her veins than her

former actions had shown. She proved her love for Tom by Insisting upon taking th’ stand and telling just why her husband shot Barry St. Clair. “She swore to a He. She took oath that she was th’ woman of whom her husband had caught a flash leaping from th’ window of St-. Clair’s bedroom at 1 o'clock in th’ morning. “This testimony saved Tom Sutherland from hanging—freed him. in fact. But th’ woman who had been in St. Clair’s room that night and leaped from th’ window as Tom Sutherland threw open th' door of th’ apartment, was NOT Anna Sutherland. But her husband believed it was—then. Later, he learned th’ truth. That’s why Anna and he are together now out in California. How do I know all this?" The deep rumbling voice stopped. In Roger Brooks' gray eyes was a look such as Bill Canfield had never seen there before. He waited. The little clock on the desk ticked away the seconds. A half minute passed, a minute. Then: “Anna Sutherland is—is MY daughter,” the voice went on steadily. “The illegitimate half sister of Diana. She is now. 30 years old. Her mother died wlien she was 2 years old. She was adopted by n respectable couple. They died an!l I placed th’ child in a convent where she was raised —as my niece. ‘I can't go into th’ story. Bill. I was married. I'm not trying to excuse myself, but —well, th' circumstances were unusual. I always looked out for her. protected her in every way I could and gave her plenty of money. Neither she nor Diana know ih’ facts. They both think she is my niece. John Walden. unfortunately, knows th’ truth. It was me that engaged him to defend Anna’s husband.. Since that day Jawn W. has ‘borrowed’ some $40,000 from me without security or even th' scratch of a pen. I told him today th’ debt was cancelled. “But Jawn is far-sighted. That's why he is interested in my affairs. And it's because of this interest — and th’ thing I suspect—that I’ve told you th' inside story.” He lapsed into silence. . . . The little clock on the desk ticked on.

. . . From outside came the faint roar of city traffic. . . . “Do you care to tell me. Pop, what is it —this thing you suspect?” asked Bill Canfield after a long wait, a throbbing note in his low-spoken tones. * The gaze of the Big Boss was fixed on some unmarked spot on the.opposite wall. But he was seeing through that wall and back down the years. And Bill Canfield, looking at him saw on the reflex lens of his own mind the same scene, perhaps, that Pop Brooks was seeing. He had witnessed it ten years before. A big courtroom, the judge and jury, tlqe crowd of ourious spectators. He saw a woman, young, beautiful, rise -suddenly and request the judge to be allowed to testify. He saw a young man leap to his feet and cry out in protest against such testimony. But the judge waved the woman to the witness chair. He heard again that story—told to save a man’s life. He saw the jury pass out, one by one. Then he saw them return. He heard their verdict—justifiable horni. cide! Then he saw the young man. broken in spirit, white, led away by friends. He saw the woman looking after the retreating form of the young man she had saved at the sacrifice of her name—her honor. ....He saw her sway, then sink to the floor. The scene shifted. He was stand ing in the doorway of a bungalow in beautiful California looking out at a pleasing sight under some orange tree....A man of 35 stood leading carelessly against a tree, a hhppy smile on his face. To Be Continued) There’s a surprising development in the next chapter.
