_ WHAT HAS HAPPENED DIANA BROOKS, lieautifuiy daughter •r Roger Brooks, owner and publisher of the Catawba City Times and a chain of nine other newspapers, had been kidnaped then released. Her father is engaged in a persistent fight against the corrupt administration of Catawba City and through the medium of the Times, redoubles his scathing attacks on politicians of the Ring and the Underworld. Later, Brooks himself is kidnaped and in five days released. On his return he finds that his newspaper stock being manipulated and suspects John w. Walden, and prepares for a fight. Brooks closest friend is Donald Keene his literary editor, who is the guardian of Terry Farrell, reporter and Sob Sister. Teddy is in love with Don. He, however, believes himself in love with Lola Mantell, Diana’s cousin. Teddy and Dinny Morrison, young reBorter, who is in love with her, rescue liana from John AV. Walden, Jr., an unscrupulous cad who through a ruse brings Diana to a roadhouse where he tries to attek her. Dinny knocks Walden out and Tedny, although she doesn't care for him as lie does for her, reveals anew admiration for him. She arranges to go to a picnic with him. Dian*. returning to her home, tells her father that Walden admitted that he and his father are conspiring to ruin the publisher. NOW GO ON:

CHAPTER XXXIV “And—oh, Don!” Diana added, her face flaming from mortification, “he insiQuated that we—you and I—on the island—oh, it was too humiliating,” she finished, lamely. “Did the cur imply anything wrong?” queried Don, slowly, rising and putting a hand on her shoulder. “But then, you and I know it does not matter, Diana, what he implied or said,” he added gravely, his brown eyes searching her troubled gray ones. Teddy listened to the conversation at first indifferently. She had been eating slowly, without any relim Don and Diana had not been thrown very often in each other’s company where Teddy had been present. In fact, this family gathering was an outstanding occasion for the little reporter. ” "'atter-of-fact atmosphere of the office Diana and Don were

always chummy, true. But here, tonight, the little Sob Sister sensed a closer bond between them. It struck her as significant that they seemed subconsciously to lean toward each other; that their eyes met and held as if attracted by a magnetic power. Lola, too, was stirring to a suspicious that was making her uneasy, a little less sure of her irresistible charms. Saturday dawned gloriously, full of promise. Teddy sprang from her bed and turned off the alarm on her clock. She had one small assignment at the Times—then in the afternoon, the picnic! “But I wish—l wish—” she whispered aloud. “I wish it were you I was going with. She ran her forefinger lovingly over a picture of Don she had clipped from the Times. It was a poor little likeness, only a half Column size, and it blurred so quickly that Teddy replaced it with a fresh one every Sunday from the page of literary reviews. She stood in front of it for a moment studying it with wistful tenderness. Nope, it didn’t do him justice, she reflected. I didn’t make him look handsome and Don was absolutely good-looking—especially when he smiled. The little Sob Sister went through this performance every morning. She made it a religiously-kept ritual, except when she overslept and was late for the office. “Feelin’ better? You look well,” was the quizzical greeting of Mrs. Speed, as she met Teddy emerging from the bathroom. The girl twisted her bar of wet soap into her face towel and looked away. “I never was really sick, Mrs.

Speed,” she said, hesitantly, “just blue, I guess.” “Ye looked kinda pale there for awhile,’ observed the landlady. “Yer not love-sick, are ye?” she teased. “Oh!” Teddy caught her breath and her face flushed. “Os course not!” she retorted, sharply. “I’m going on a picnic this afternoon,” she added, feeling that Mrs. Speed was in a conversational mood. It was that afternoon that Mrs. Speed su:ered a mild shock. Teddy the respectable, reliable and modest was getting into a car dressed in a —bathing suit! Os course she had a robe over her suit, but two white, pretty knees just managed to peep out as she stepped on the running-board. Mrs. Speed was watching her tenant’s departure from behind the curtains of the parlor. Now that, she thought decisively, wasn’t nice! Besides, the child might catch an awful cold coming back all wet. Mrs. Speed shook her head disapprovingly as she went about her weekly vacuum cleaning. No, she gave it up. She couldn’t figure out the young folks of today. They were too much for her. What with girls smoking—it had taken the good soul a long time to reconcile herself to the sight of the little tube-shaped rolls of tobacco lying around on Teddy’s bedroom table. And that wasn’t the worst of it. The butts in the ash-tray were marked with red stains. Lip-stick! “Ho-hum” she sighed with patient resignation. It was a shame, and Teddy such a nice girl, too, otherwise. Teddy was Mrs. Speed’s favorite

topic of discussion with her neighbors and her other tenants. To her neighbors she talked of the sob sister with the intent of making an impression. It was a distinction to have a writer, a newspaper woman among her motley charges. The neighbors never ceased to be Impressed. To her tenants, especiall girls around Teddy's age, the landlady always pointed her out as an example of the ideal roomer. If the listener was of dubious virtue then Mrs. Speed made her praise very emphatic. ' “You never see Miss Farrell cornin’ in at all hours of th’ night!” she might say. “Except” she would add, “when something exciting breaks at the office.” “Braks at the office,” was an expression she had appropriated from Teddy’s conversation. Mrs. Speed liked the sound of it. It implied importance. “And another thing,” she would ramble on. “She doesn’t go gaddin’ around with a different fella every night. Os course, Mr. Morrison calls her up now an’ then but she don’t seem to have so very much use for him.” Mrs. Speed hoped this Saturday afternoon that the neighbors hadn't seen Teddy leave—in a bathing suit! It might’weaken the effect of her customary praise. Teddy, fortunately, was spared the knowledge of her landlady’s Innermost thoughts. She was eager to get into the water, partly because her body welcomed its cool contact,

and partly to show Dinny that she could swim. “Why don’t you turn this can in for an open car?” she asked him, crossly, as they went bumping along their way. She had forgotten her resolution to treat him with more respect. “If you promise to ride with me through life, I will,” returned Dinny, romantically. “What earthly difference does that make?” she quizzed. "You’d be more comfortable yourself with an open car in summer. I’m just gasping for air.” “As soon as I can pay cash for a new one I may. I haven’t got quite enough saved for it yet. Another raise from th’ Times and I’ll be all Jake," he replied, with a quick side glance at her.” “I’m thinkin’ of buyin’ a lot, too.” “Whatt are you goin’t’ do with a lot after you get it, besides pay taxes on it?” she queried sarcastically. “You know what I could do with it, Ted,” sad Dinny, gently. His voice had a hurt note in it. “What?” asked the girl, in a softened tone. She regretted her arrogance. Dinny began painting a scene. “I could have a little house built on it—something modern. Just a modest home, you know, a—a —sort of bungalow. Os course, most of th* fellows go in for flats, but I don’t like ’em myself. They’re not home-

like—do you think?” he wound up with a beautiful disregard for English. “Yep,” sad Teddy, equally careless’. “A man can’t get a feeling of independence in an apartment—can’t take th’ right kind of pride in his horye,” continued Dinny, a far-away look in his eyes. Teddy pacifically “let him rave.” This wasn’t the first time he had dwelt on his dream “home,” although he had never before gone quite so much into detail. She felt a guilty relief to find they had reached the lakeside. There would be enough diversion for the afternoon to make him forget his foolish dreams, Teddy told herself. “Park that tin outrage in th’ shade,” she cautioned him. “Th’ sun’s likely to make it curl up and keel over.” Dinny laughed good-naturedly. “That’s another thing I especially like about you. Ted.” he remarked, with large nonchalance. “Your sense of humor. I don’t think you know what it is to mppe or cry. Do you?” Her face clouded, and a wave of bitterness swept over the little reporter. But she laughed again as she replied: “Not I, Dinny! Why, I’m Polyanna herself. Everything is gonna be all right—see?" she hummed.

gaily, flinging aside her robe and running toward the beach. She didn’t plunge into the water at once, but held off waiting for him to join her. Dinny had lagged behind to pick out a good place to eat their lunch. Teddy appraised him critically. He looked better, she thought, in his bathing suit than in his regular clothes. His was the deceptive slightness peculiar to many men. Unclad, the lithe ripple of muscle playing up and down his arms and shoulders could not do otherwise than draw admiration. Dinny was
