BY LOU WEDEMAR (Copyright. 1333, by Tha Time*) Editor's Note The narrative, "Black Hawk," a thrilling story of life in Indianapolis, is purely Action and its leading characters exist only in the author’s imagination. aaa SYNOPSIS Black Hawk whose sign 1* the winged deaths head, demands evacuation of Central Indiana and Indianapolis.

Bob and Ava are kidnaped and later both win their freedom. Bob comes to the conclusion that Bt. George Is the Black Hawk and calls In Chief Morrissey preparatory to placing the scientist under arrest. Now go on. CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE As Bob, Morrissey and Brown descended the postoffice steps and approached the police squad car standing at the curb, Bob sighted Ava coming out of the telephone building. He waved and she came hurrying over. Drawing her aside, Bob told Ava of his plan to arrest St. George. Ava clapped a hand to her mouth and stood staring at Bob, wide-eyed. ‘‘Are you sure, Bob?” she asked at last "So sure that I’m willing to risk my whole career on it,” answered Bob, his eyes gleaming. "Let me come with you?” pleaded Ava. Reluctantly, Bob consented to let her come with him. They clambered Into the rear seat of the squad car while Morrissey and Brown took the front seat. They drove straight up Meridian street, discussing grimly the task which faced them and the possibility of the plan's success. "Bob,” broke in Ava, “have you ever given any thought to the act which resulted in my being found? I mean the time Davy poured perfume over me and resulted in Mr. Beaumont finding me. "I never told you. because we haven’t had the time to tell you, of this Davy, of Black Hawks. For some odd reason, he was the only one of Black Hawk’s entire force who seemed to resent his leadership and befriended me from the very first. "If only we could locate him, I think we could solve the whole thing. Oh, Bob. I hope you’re right in this step.” ( aaa AS the car drew up in front of St. George’s home, Bob and Brown instinctively reached for their hip pockets to make certain they had their revolvers handy. St feorge’s butler answered their ring jnd asked them to wait for the ientist in the den. In a minute St. George entered. “ .ello, dear.” he said, extending hi.* hand to Ava, "I see I have distinguished company.” Ava remained seated as Bob and Brown stood up. “This may be a little unpleasant, St. George,” said Bob. "I’ve come to arrest you.” St. George’s face changed expression. "What for?” he barked. “I'm arresting you as 'Black Hawk,’ ” answered Bob, simply. "Don’t be absurd,” almost shouted St. George. “Man. you must be insane.’ "St. George,” broke in Bob with studied calm. "There's no use shouting, no use screaming. The jig’s up. We've got a Whisperer down at headquarters. He’s confessed everything. Os course we had got all the goods we want. You're under arrest at last. We’ve got all the goods we want. You’re

i under arrest as a prisoner of the United States government.” "Why, you, impertinent pup,” shouted St. George. “I'll—”, ‘'You’ll do nothing now, Black Hawk,” answered Bob. "We’ve got you and you know It. Davy has told us everything we want to know.” "Come along, St. George,” broke in Morrissey. “There’s no use arguing.” aaa ST. GEORGE stepped back. "You can’t do this, I tell you,” he shouted, his voice rising almost to the breaking point. "No?” said Bob, drawing his revolver. "Come on!” Suddenly, the curtain at the wall of the den was torn away. Three swarthy men leaped out and onto Bob, Brown and Morrissey. Ava screamed. St. George retreated through the door. Bob was having his hands full with his combatant- and Brown was on his back, struggling desperately to topple over the man who sat astride him. The man who had leaped on Morrissey’s back had pinioned the chief’s arms behind. The chief, with a desperate lunge, threw his foe sidewise, grasped him around the neck and smashed out with a terrific left-handed punch. It caught the man on the side of the temple and he- went down like a log. Morrissey leaped over and grabbed the man on Brown and hurled him half across the room, following up with a series of rights and lefts which sent the swarthy individual to his knees. Brown rushed to Bob’s help and together they trussed the man up. Ava, panic-stricken, stood at the door pointing outside. "He's gone,” she cried. aaa Morrissey dashed for the telephone and put In hurried instructions to halt St. George, who now was speeding toward the downtown section. He ordered a radio squad to come to the St. George residence immediately to take custody of the three men. Almost immediately a squad car was in front of the house and four policemen bundled off the three defeated fighters. One of them had a blackening bruise on the temple and another’s nose was gushing blood, ample proof of the effect of Morrissey's blows. aaa 808. Morrissey, Brown and Ava dashed into the chief's car and started downtown. “Let’s get to the airport quick,” said Bob. “He’ll head into the air right away. Where he goes up from, Heaven only knows. Brown and I are going up after him.” Siren screaming, the car speeded through the streets, out to Ben Davis, with Ava and Bob holding tight as the careening car turned corners at breakneck speed. Tires screeching, they turned into Municipal airport and skidded to a stop. They dashed out and Bob rushed into Major Cox’ office immediately. "Where’s that plane I ordered a week ago?” asked Bob breathlessly. “It came in this morning and it’s all ready. It’ll take ten minutes warming up, though,” warned Cox. "Let’s get going,” said Bob. In a moment, men were wheeling a beautiful low wing monoplane to the concrete runway and a second later its motor was roaring. Glistening a-top the front cockpit was the blunt nose of a machine gun. Bob and Brown shook hands with Morrissey, and Bob kissed Ava a moment before they climbed into their seats, Brown at the controls. “They’re off!” shouted Morrissey. “Good luck, boys,” (To Be Continued)

TARZAN THE APE MAN

Tarzan fell to the ground under the blow from Holt’s rifle butt. Jean, already overwhelmed by the tragedy to her father, stood by Inactively. Holt immediately regretted his impulsive act. although he had thought it was in defense of the girl he loved. He rushed to the ape man’s aid.

“Get some water,” he ordered. Jean went to their packs for a canteen. Holt noticed a swelling on Tarzan’s head where the rifle butt had struck him. Although Holt did not know it, this was the same spot where a rock had struck the ape man months before, robbing him of his memory!

Holt bathed Tarzan’s head, pressing the bump slightly with his fingers as he did so. A wince of pain spread over the ape-man’s sleeping features. He opened his eyes, and looked up at the man and girl, his face giving no hint of recognition. He struggled to his feet. Jean stared at him in dismay.

"Tarzan!” she cried. The ape-man seemed astonished. "You appear to know my name,” he said. "Tarzan!” cried Jean again. “You can speak English!” “Why, of course,” answered the ape-man. “Then you’ve been deceiving me—all along?” she exclaimed. "Deceiving?” said Tarzan. “Why, I’ve never seen you before in my life!”
