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, had been kidnaped and then released. Her father is engaged an a persistent fight against the corrupt administration of Catawba City, and through the medium of The Times redoubles his scathing attacks on politicians and the underworld. Brooks himself is kidnaped, but in five days released. On his return he finds that his newspaper stock is being manipulated and scuspects JOHN W. WALDEN, who he determines to fight. Brooks’ closest friend is young DONALD KEENE, his literary editor and the guardian of TEDDY FARRELL, reporter and SOB SISTER. Teddy is in love with Don. He believes himself in love with LOLA MANTELL, Diana's cousin. Teddy is beginning to suspect that Don and Diana love each other without either of them realizing it. Don takes Lola for a ride into the hills outside Catawba City. The car is wrecked and Lola escapes with a slight injury, but Don's legs are badly bruised. They secure refuge in a log cabin. The owner of the log cabin goes for the nearest doctor. Lola and Don wait in the cabin all night. NOW READ ON CHAPTER XXXIX "I am sure in one devil of a predicament,” Don ruminated, feeling a strong desire to swear at the pain his legs were giving him, coupled with the anxiety his remorse had stirred up over this third experience. He was in a position now where he owed allegiance to three—Teddy, Diana and Lola. He had always loved Teddy, he knew. Was it just as a sister? Or— His mind leaped back and forth between the three girls. Diana had saved his life. In return he had nearly compromised her name. And yet when he chivalrously offered to protect her by marriage she had scornfully refused him. One thing to him was certain. Despite the fact that Teddy had declined his offer to marry her he felt sure that she loved him. He dwelt often on that night of horror in the sub-cellar, when Teddy, believing him unconscious had cried out her confession: “Oh, God, do not let him die!” The girl’s words had rung in Don’s ears many times since. “I love him so—l cannot live without him!” And she had covered his face with kisses. Later, when he was convalescing, he had asked her to marry him. True, he had not asked her on the basis of love. He had not considered her in that light, so of course she had refused him. She did not want his pitying protection. Don was startled from his' reverie by seeing Lola rise suddenly and rush to the door. The woman and the boy with thedoctor had finally arrived. “I got to th’ doctor’s quick enough,” the woman was explaining, “but he had gone away on a case and I had to wait. He was expected back, they said, any minute, and—” “Ptomaine poisoning,” interrupted the doctor brusquely. “It was a case of life and death. I couldn’t leave the patient. Well,” he added swiftly, turning to Don, “I’m here now. Let’s see!” “Um—the legs are not broken,” he announced a minute later, “but they’re pretty badly bruised. I believe, though, that we can take the young man back to town today. He’ll be all right if we drive carefully. In a couple days he’ll be in shape to run a race again!” “In spite of my best intentions I seem to tear down instead of build up,” bemoaned Don on their way back. Lola was holding him to keep him from being jolted too much, although the doctor drove carefully. “Hush, dear, don’t worry about things now,” she said gently. “But damn, I might say I’ve hardly earned that car I’ve just wrecked and I didn’t have any accident insurance on it. Os course it was bound to be wrecked just because I had it insured against theft,” added Don with a wry smile. “Ail that is done now. You are well, or nearly so. The rest doesn’t matter.” There were tender cadences in Lola’s voice. Don studied her stead-

ily. Funny, she was more subdued, more softened than he had ever known her to be and still—he didn’t exactly feel that same attraction to her that he once felt. He wondered why. The doctor’s voice from the front seat broke into his meditation. “I believe you said your name was Keene?” he asked, eyeing Don closely. "I’ve seen your picture often in the Times, if I’m not mistaken. That’s Brooks’ paper, isn’t it?” “Yes, doctor. Miss Mantell here is Mr. Brooks’ niece,” Don told him. “Oh, yes.” The physician acknowledged Lola with a complimentary nod and turned back to his patient. “Is there any truth,” he said bluntly, “in the report that Roger Brooks is up against a crisis? I’ve heard rumors' to that effect.” “Gossip is always embellished, exaggerated,” replied Don, evasively. “He’s having a little trouble, but it takes more than a little trouble to down the old man, you know.” The doctor appeared skeptical. “That so? Hmm—the way it was told to me I had an idea Brooks was in pretty serious danger of losing control. But of course, you know more about it than I do,” he concluded casually. “He just had to stir up the bones of contention,” whispered Lola to Don, glaring spitefully at the back of the physician’s head. Mrs. Keene had spent the hours since breakfast between calling up the Times and pacing before the front windows of her home. What co’uld have happened to her boy? For although Donald was well in his thirty-sixth year, to his mother he was still very much of a boy. She ran down the full length of the front walk to the car she had seen pulling up in front of the house. The doctor, a stranger to her, was alighting and opening the door of the tonneau. Then Mrs. Keene saw Lola emerge from the car. “Don!” The mother’s exclamation was at once an interrogation and a cry of apprehension. Lola quickly reassured her. They must get Don to bed at once. He’d be well again in a day or so, at most. “And now—you'll drive me back to my home?” she asked the physician sweetly after they had seen Don safely to bed. “Delighted,” the doctor said, revealing frankly his willingness to be vamped by the delectable Lola. “But you must sit up in front with me,” he add. “Absolutely, doctor,” she breathed, bending the full electrical power of her black eyes on him. . . . “Completing the triple alliance,” laughed Diana, when Lola had told her how and where she had spent the night. Lola joined in the laughter, recalling at the same time her own attitude in a similar situation. Diana was a “pretty good fellow,” she told herself. “Let’s go down to the Times one of these days,” she suggested, pushing her advantage. “You know we’ve been planning a visit through the plant for a long time.” “We’ll try to arrange it for next week,” Diana replied, “the rest of this week, we’ll both be busy at Madame Paulette’s, you know, for fittings.” * * * Teddy and Don sat facing each other in the mellow glow of shaded

lamps at a small table in a little French restaurant adjacent to the Rialto of Catawba City. They had been to the theater. Now they were planning a burglary. “This breaking into an office in the dead of night,” observed Don with a ponderous solemnity, “be the motive what it may, for good or for bad, is no casual undertaking.” “Uh huh,” said Teddy, non-com-mitally, “I guess you're right.” “You bet I’m right,” declared Don earnestly. “"It smacks of danger. Not just the danger of being detected and having to explain to the law. That’s nothing—comparatively. But the danger that attends an act of breaking and entering—that danger is a bullet, swift, sudden and hot!” “Uh huh,” said Teddy again, and went on munching celery. He looked at her quizically. “Well,” he interrupted finally, “doesn't the prospect scare you any?” She shook her head. “No,” she replied demurely, "not so long as you’ll be with me.” Don reached his hand across the short stretch of table and clasped hers resting beside her plate. “Teddy, dear,” he said, smiling at her in the way she so loved, “you are the finest, gamest little woman in the world. Bill Canfield told me just a few days ago that you’re the one girl on the Times’ staff be could always depend upon in an emergency. He never had to worry, he said, when he gave you a hurry-up assignment, but what you’d make it on time. Pop thinks a lot of you, too. So does Diana and—” He was going to include Lola in the count, but a swift remembrance of several little incidents made him i hesitate for an instant. Teddy smiled a bit ruefullv. “And what does Mr. Donald Keene think?” she inquired, in a low tone, disengaging the hand he had j elapsed in plain view of curious ob-: servers. Don’s romantic nature called for an answer to her question in keeping with his secret knowledge of her feeling. He knew the answer she would like . But he shaped his answer to fit his conscience, not his desires. "Donald Keene thinks the same as they all think, Teddy dear,” he re- j plied, unable to refrain from tacking on the little adverb. And there was painted again in j Teddy’s cheeks a reflection of the! ember that smouldered deep down within the inner consciousness of; her being, that faint spark of “hope
