GUNS TO ROAR WREN DUKE OF YORK RETURNS ■ ' ■■■ - 7 England Plans Rousing Reception as Royal Tour- * ists Near Home. Bu United Press PORTSMOUTH, Eng., June 25. Not since the Prince of Wales returned from his South American tour in 1924 has such a rousing reception greeted British royalty as that expected to be accorded the Duke and Duchess of York on their return tomorrow from New Zealand and Australia on the battle cruiser Renown. Twenty-one guns of the Portsmouth fortress will crash forth a royal salute as the Renown steams into the harbor. The Prince of Wales and Prince Henry are to greet their brother and the duchess. During the reunion of the prince, cheering thousands on the docks probably will add to the dim made by steamship whistles and clanging churchbells. It will be a triumphant ending of a trip that is conceded to have done much toward knitting closer the far-flung outposts of Empire with the mother-country. Eager to See Baby The reception that will give the Duke, and especially the Duchess the greatest thrill of all awaits them on their arrival in London, This is not the reception they will get from the King and Queen of England or from the public; but that from their infant daughter Princess Elizabeth who was only eight months old when the Duke and Duchess started out on their long trip and who has now reached the relatively mature and communicative age of one year and two months. His arrival at Portsmouth will mark the conclusion of the longest inter-empire trip that the Duke of York has made. Through Many Lands Starting forth in the Renown Jan. 6 the royal pair went first to Jamaica; thence through the Panama canal to the Fiji Islands, where they were entertained by the bizzarre dances and curious customs of the native Islanders; and thence to Auckland. New Zealand was next visited, but here the health of the Duchess somewhat and she was compelled to rest at Wellington, New Eealand, for a time while the Duke piade numerous sight-seeing trips alone. She recuperated rapidly however and toward the end of iiviarch they proceeded for Australia. Sydney was first visited, then Brisbane and various parts of Tasmania. An extended tour followed of nearly all the large towns in Australia, and the trip culminated May 12 with the formal opening by the Duke of York of the new capital of Australia at Canberra.

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 in 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 suspects JOHN W. WALDEN. who he determines to Brooks’ closest friend is DONALD KEENE, voung literary editor and 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. Teddv and Don install a dictagraph in the office of Walden in the hope of securing evidence against him. NOW READ ON CHAPTER XL I He was holding her hand with his and his right was stroking it much as he might stroke a cat s back. She felt that she must scream if he didn’t stop it soon. What was it he was trying to say? He told her. “I’ve been wondering," he went on, still smiling and continuing to stroke her hand, “if there were any real understanding between Dinny Morrison and you. It has occurred to me that Dinny might be th’ reason for your refusal when I asked —” “Why—why, Donald Keene!" The cry broke involuntarily from the girl. It was followed closely by a half-strangled sob, as she jerked her hand from his and jumped to her feet. He looked at her in mild surprise. “What’s th’ matter, Ted?" he asked, plainly disturbed by her display of feeling. “Was it anything I said—?” He stopped. She had turned and was looking at him questioningly, fighting hard to keep the tears back. Was it possible that Don didn’t realize what his words implied? “What was your reason for asking me that—about Dinny?” queried Teddy after a long pause. “Why—er—well, you’re under my care, you know, and, of course, I’m interested in my ward's heart problems,” he replied lamely, and looked away from her. “Well, if that’s all. I'd rather not discuss it,” she said in a dull voice. He glanced back and into her down-turned face. Her slender body was shaking slightly. He rose and lit a cigaret, cursing himself for his stupidity. Os course, the poor kid was hurt. How beautiful her devotion seemed. He experienced a momentary thrill of exautation. Swift on the heels of that came self-reproach. He was a vain, selfish cad, he told himself savagely. ... “Oh, Don, come here!" He wheeled swiftly as the girl’s whisper reached him. Teddy was standing with her ear close to the wall separating the real estate from the law firm’s office. All signs of hurt were gone from her face. It was eager now, alive with interest in the exciting game they were playing. For it was a game, and a big game, too, this plot to get evidence on the Ring—the evidence so necessary to convince the grand jury that an indictment against the Waldens was justifiable. He stepped across to where she stood “I just caught a few words,” she told him hurriedly, her eyes shining. “Young Walden said—he must have spoken extra loud—he said: ‘I tell you that’s all paid for, th’ Pop Brooks job. One grand. Th’ killin’ of Valetti saved us two grand. Th’ other— ’ That’s all I caught. All you c’n hear now is just a rumble. Listen!” They stood for a moment, their ears to the wall. The low murmur of voices came to them, but indistinctly, the words of the speakers entirely unintelligible. “We’re in luck, I think,” said Don finally, in a tone just above a whisper. “In luck,” he went on. replying to the question in Teddy’s eyes, “That they picked this particular time to speak of matters pertaining to pop. Anything they may say along that line will be of value in securing an indictment. Just that one statement about ‘Pop Brooks’ job’ will go far to hook ’em!” The girl nodded understanding^. “And we’ll have t’ wait until t’night?" She spoke tentatively. “Got to wait,” he replied, smiling at her impatience. “No chance to get that cylinder while there’s anybody around. It’ll take five minutes to make th’ change—take this one out and replace it with another. For we can’t be sure, you know, ’ he

added to forestall the inquiry he saw coming, “of this cylinder’s value. We may have to try again tomorrow. But we’ll know in thirty minutes after we get th’ record that’s now in th’ course of making! This’ll run for an hour. When th’ time’s up I’ll hide th’ plug again and we can beat it. We’ll come back tonight!” And they came back at the same hour as on the night, of morning, before—passing the charwoman on the second floor. Agpin she looked up, and then at the expenditure of much effort clambored to her feet. Once more Don stepped forward, flipped back the lapel of his coat to show his badge, and reached out his hand to her. As on the previous occasion she took it, the bill, and mumbled her “t’anke, mister.” A moment later and she was kneeling again on her pad with scrub-brush in hand. It ws was just a passing incident in her life, an unimportant event, save that it left her richer by $5. In the meantime the two midnight prowlers had wasted no time. Entrance to the private office of the Walden firm was effected as before. Three minutes later Don straightened, the cylinder he had fitted in the machine on the previous night reposing securely in the leather bag, a duplicate in the dictagraph. “O. K.,” he whispered too the eag-erly-waiting Teddy. “Now for my hoie-in-the-wall to find out what sort of fish we’ve caught!” The charwoman was at the far end of the hall on the second floor when they descended, and so failed to note their departure. Teddy remarked her absence. “We were more expeditious on this trip,” was the explanation Don offered, as they directed their steps toward the Times office. He added: ‘ Let us hope it's th’ wind-up. At that,” he went on, a whimsical note in his voice. “ ‘it’s an ill-wind that blows no one good.’ Whatever our work gets us, it enriched th' buxom Mrs. Kovacic to th’ tune of $lO. Perhaps it served a good purpose. A brisk walk of ten minuses brought them to the Times building and they were shot up to the editorial floor. Don’s sanctum adjoined the city room. A machine stood on the table. With fingers that shook slightly Don adjusted the record on which their hopes were based and pushed the starting button. A brief wait and— The sound of a slammed door came from the record. Then sounded footfalls across the floor, the noisy opening of a desk, a cough. The next moment the voice of young Walden came: “What’s th’ matter? You ain’t lookin’ so good. Haven’t been hittin th’ white mule, have you?” “I don't know what ’tis, but I’m damned worried over this Pop Brooks matter.” 'lt was the elder Waldeq’s voice. “Why, what’s worfyin’ yuh?” This was young Waldren. “A number of things. First place, I’m ’fraid he smells a rat.” “Why so?” “He acted odd th’ day he was in here an’ told me my account had been wiped f’m his slate—that 1 owed him nothing.” “Well, what o’ that?" “Funny thing—after all these years. Seemed like he thought that Anna Sutherland case was a dead issue.” “Ain’t it?" “Hell, no! I’ll bleed old Pop Brooks to the last dollar he's got ’fore I’m through with him. That is, if—” “If what?” “Well—if I can." “Can't you?” J “I’m not absolutely sure since—” “Since what?" “Since we pulled this kidnapin’ stunt. That was not such a smart dodge, abductin’ th’ girl an’ lettin’ her go so soon. That was your wise idea.” “It was a good idea if—” “If it had worked, yes—but it

Monette, chairman, of the board of commissioners of Los Angeies Public Library, that “many librarians are turning libraries into mechanical canning factories.” Ernest Cushing Robertson of Library of Congress, said that “men are chosen as librarians because of business, not intellectual energy, for their efficiency in directing ideas.” Among the six thousand questionnaires collected from 150 libraries it was shown that less than half a dozen specialists without administrative duties were found to receive $2,500 a year. That libraries must reward their employes more generously with money and professional honors was the association’s attitude. Widow Is Sheriff's Successor Bu United Press PARIS.
