WHAT HAS HAPPENED DIANA BROOKS, beautiful daughter of ROGER BROOKS, owner and publisher of the Catawba Times and a chain of nine other newspapers, was kidnaped and then released. Her lather is engaged in a persistent fight against th corrupt administration of Catawba City and through the medium of the Timet redoubles hta attacks on politicians of the ring and defies the underworld. A few days later Brooks himself disappears. UrtNAl.il KEENE, literary edi tor. in an attempt to locate Brooks, is wounded and forced to remain entombed for fifty hours in a sub-cellar with TEDDY FARRELL, his ward and SOB SISTER of the Times. She effect* their release and while both are in a hospital. Roger Brooks reappears. Grateful that she has saved his life and because he has learned that Tcdd.v loves him. Don asks her to marry him She refuses, realizing that he does not care for her as she cares for him. Roger Brookß. on his return, finds that Brooks newspaper stock is hems manipulated and suspects JOHN W. WALDEN, member of a prominent law firm, of being involved in the plot to wreck the Brooks organization Back in his office. Don wonders if perhttps he doesn't love Teddy after all.

NOW GO ON CHAPTER XVII “Teddy's splendid work in connection with her escape and your rescue from death in that awful cellar la still th' current sensation,’’ spoke up Diana, enthusiastically. “It seems every one is talking about It!” “Oh, I don't know.” shrugged Lola. “I don’t think It deserve quite so much fuss.” “Well, you would think so if you’d see the hole she had to dig,” exclaimed Donald warmly. “I went over to see it one day—th’ next day, in fact, after I left th’ hospital. It certainly was a marvelous piece of work, I tell you!” Diana Brooks felt herself glow with pride in the man who had been her playfellow when she was in pigtails —pride in the thought that Don was man enough and brave enough to appreciate and stand up for his little protege, even in the face of Lola's disapproval. “How does she feel, Don?” she asked. “I haven’t seen Ted in three or four days and Dad told me she was looking rather pale lately.” Don looked away, saddened all at once. “She seems well enough,” he replied slowly. “I wonder,” said Diana content- . platiijely, “if any one of us appreciates just how true blue Teddy really I

RICKENBACKER, BROTHER ACE, LAUDS LINDBERGH Air and Auto Star, Here for Race, Thinks Boy Flier Greatly Aided Aviation.

Eddie Rickenbacker, World War ace. believes Captain Charles Lindbergh. who made the first non-stop oceanic flight from New York to Paris, is the greatest diplomat America ever sent to the Old Country. Rickenbacker, chairman of the Speedway contest board, arived Friday from French Lick where he attended the Society of Automotive Engineers convention. “Greatest Diplomat'* “I think Lindbergh accomplished the greatest single-handed peacetime feat of all time,” said Rickenbacker. “He is the greatest diplomat fate has decided to send us and has accomplished more in ten days than diplomats in ten years. Because of the deliberateness and simplicity of the situation he has won the nearts of all. “I think he was born a diplomat because of his natural modesty, aim-

is. She’ll make some man a wonderful wife some day.” As she said this Diana looked squarely at Don. He was picking imaginary threads from his sleeve and did not look up. They dined later with Mrs. Ingram, giving instructions patiently to the new Swedish maid, Gretta. Pop was absent, having gone to Chicago on business. Diana played with her food most of the time. The greater part of it was removed by the maid. Don, too. maintained a more or less regretful ailence Bince the discussion about Teddy. Gradually, however, he brightened. Spring was abroad outside. A mild breeze, stirring the hangings at the tall windows. kept reminding him of a decision he had made that afternoon. Lola sal across from him. The pale rose shades in the cluster of lights behind her brought out vividly her e.xotic beauty. Diana noted this. She felt, too. that Lola was perfectly aware of the effect the lights had on her and the effect she had on Don. She seemed to blend with perfect harmony into the rich, artistic setting of the high-walled room. Most of the time he saw her full red lips through a blur. He was almoat afraid to look at their seductive sweetness. The subdued atmosphere of the room both lulled and disturbed him. The massive antique buffet, the tapestry backed chairs, the Chinese rug that sank carelessly under one's feet—all had a soothing, narcotic effect like that of a powerful incense. His disturbance, however. wffs tinctured with a sense of delicious enthrallment. Over the snowy napery and the gleam of silver service and all, glowed the charm and lure of the girl sitting opposite him. the girl for whom all this luxury seemed specially created. Would she? . . . Could she be contented? .. . His meditations were interrupted. They had finished their coffee and Diana was rising from the table. “Do you mind, you two, if I leave you for a little while?” she asked. Apparently she was calm, hut for some reason—a reason ahe could not herself define —there rankled within her a strange bitterness.

“Go right ahead, Dia. Don’t mind us!” Again that eager note in Don's voice. "It's not too chilly, is it, for a little walk?” he asked Lola, as Diana left the room. The Lady of the Orchid and the Rose stretched languidly. ‘.‘l don’t think so, but I'll need my scarf,” she told him with a smile that made him a trifle dizzy. "Will you get it for me, please? It’s on th’ settees in th’ reception room.” He almost ran in hia eagerness to get the flimsy wrap. “Not too cold?” he queried solicitiously. his voice very tender as they reached the open air. “No-o.” The girl’s answer was a vibrant caress. They strolled slowly along the broad stretch of silvery beach lining the shore of Lake Catawba, which skirted the Brooks estate. Her arms, transparent through the filmy georgette, hrushod lightly against hist sleeve. The contact to Donald Keene was one of exquisite ecstasy. An impulse stronger than his will swept through his whole being. Almost roughly he pulled her against him. “Lola. dear. I love you." He said it gropingly, shyly, hut the sincerity of his words and their meaning was unmistakable. The girl was silent, her closecropped head inclined as if waiting for him to apeak further. He went on: “I always knew there would he someone like you some day. I’ve dreAmed my dreams—foolish dreams they seemed to me once. But they don’t seem foolish now. “Do you know,” he continued eagerly, “I’ve always believed in a love between a man and a woman that would live in the face of adversity, or at least comparative poverty?” And still the girl was silent. After a long moment he went on again. . “I am not poor, Lola,” he told her. "But l am not rich. Through a blunder of circumstances I do not come into my rightful inheritance until mothers death. Even then only if I am still unmarried.” Donald Keene was too closely wrapped in the cloak of his own earnestness to notice that Ijtla s body stiffened as he spoke, grew coldly rigid.

“Lola—” He held her away so that he could look at the vague contours of her face in the rays of the weak moon. “Do you love me. Lola? Could you wait —years perhaps—until I could give you material wealth?” “Yes. I —l care for you, of course.” She was weighing her words. “Let us wait Don, until —” She was succeeding in concealing the shock she had received, the great disappointment. “I mean, Don,” she added hurriedly, “let us wait and see first if we really love each other as we should to marry. It would be terrible to make a mistake. So many people do nowadays 1 want to be sure —” “That’s fair, Lola.” His heart was singing. He l>ent over her hand and kissed it awkwardly, She felt a pang of contrition as she contemplated the back of his boyish head. She thought: ’.'He is sweet and 1 do like him awfully well, but —•" Her lips contracted and her eyes stared out over the still waters of the lake. There was a hard glitter in their shallow depths He was cheerfully hopeful when they parted Her feelings were itl a turmoil. Ho walked to the trolley line and rode in a street car as he had done that afternoon. He wanted to be alone with his thoughts of this girl, this wonderful girl. Her raven hair glinted in the calcium light of hia ingrowing fancy. Her red mouth, the parted lips glimpsing the pearly teeth, the voluptuous throat —all beckoned to him. whispered to him of that momentary yielding of her sweet body. How beautiful she had been at dinner, with the soft lights tiehind her. How intoxicating In the gloaming, as they strolled along the shore. She seemed to smile out at him, fulllipped and desirable as he fell asleep that night .... “Has Don gone?” Diana asked the question casually. Nor did she cease the operations of rubbing lotion into her cheeks Lola had come into her room and flung herself indolently on her cousin’s chintz-covered lounge. Her face told nothing “Yes. he just left. He asked me to marry him. Dia ” She made the announcement with an air of languid indifference, hijt Diana noted with that same undefined feeling of irritation, a strain of triumph in her cousin's voice. She continued to press the lotion into her cheeks with unnecessary energy. “Are you going to?" she asked evenly. . . . (TO BE CONTINUED) Diana is perturbed by I Vila's ci nfession.

30 DAYS GRACE FOIL GAS RALES $1,000,000 Added Valuation Given as Reason. Clarence L. Kirk, vice president and general manager. Citizens’ Gas Company, prevailed on the public service commission Friday to grant a thirty-day extension of the time that reduced rates are to lie put into effect. New schedule, with a cut from $1.05 a 1.000 cubic feet to 95 cents, was to become effective June 1. on May billings, on agreement of company officials with the commissioners. The rates will become effective July 1, on June bill, ings. Kirk based his plea on the fact that the State tax hoard had added $1,000,000 to company valuation and that additional time at present rates would be necessary to jtermit increased taxes to accrue from profits. New rate schedule was announced by Commissioner Howell Ellis following disclosures in The Times that the company had iteen piling up enormous profits. In 1955> and 1926 these amounted to 23 per rent dividends on $2,000,000 common besides laying aside a vast reserve fund.
