PARKLE LANSTON sent his roadster zooming along the road that led to refuge over the border.’ That last stop for gas and oil had drawn his tense nerves as taut as fiddle strings. The sound of that radio in the filling station had been bad enough, and then, to add to his nervousness, a motorcycle ccp had rolled up behind him. Whether the fellow wanted gas or whether he wanted to check license plates, Sparkle didn’t know. He. hadn't waited to find out! Radios were spreading the news that lay behind Sparkle’s flight— “Wealthy Seattle society matron found strangled to death in hotel suite of fashionable resort. Jewels worth a fortune missing!” Sparkle shivered. Why had the woman had to come in just when he had the jewels? In another moment, he'd have been gone. Now he had murder hanging over him. Murder! He shuddered, sent the car hurtling down a dangerous grade. . " Well, after all, he comforted himself, only the jewels could incriminate him, and they were safely hidden. He defiled any one to search his car and find them. That hiding place. had been an inspiration, though it had been a ticklish job without the aid of a good mechanic: He'd’ never been much of a hand with machinery. If he could only get across the border, he could take it easy from now on. More than a hundred grand in sparklers if he was any judge—and he should be! In Canada, far away from the scene of the crime, he could dispose of them little by little with much less risk. But could he make it across the border? Suppose the customs officers, on the alert because of the alarm out for the unknown jewel thief and murderer, should make too thorough a search of his car? Was ie possible, they would think of that hiding place. No, it was periect. They'd need an X-ray to find those jewels!! Still— ” 8 o

E heard the roar of a motor behind him, and his eyes glanced toward the rear-view mirror. He started, his hands gripping the wheel tensely. That same cop was trailing him! Had that radio broadcast roused his suspicions? Or had he been warned to watch for a car like this? But no, the authorities had no clue as to the thief’s identity. Nevertheless, that fellow was certainly hot on his trail! Desperately, Sparkle’s foot pressed down on the accelerator. His fingers gripped the wheel until the knuckles whitened. Like a live thing the roadster sped over the narrow concrete road. Fifty—sixty—seventy miles an hour. Skidding around curves, hurtling up steep inclines and down treacherous grades. Sparkle’s frantic, bloodshot eyes darted again and again, to the mirror. Now, above the roar of the officer's motorcycle, shrilled his warning siren. Again, Sparkle glanced into the mirror, and his heart seemed to turn over. The cop was waving his fist. Maybe he was going . to shoot! Sparkle put on even more speed. + The car shot sickeningly around a curve on two wheels, wavered

He looked at the muffler in the rack behind his saddle—the muffler that had fallen from the car whose wreckage lay below, A sudden thought struck him, That muffler had been cold when he picked it up!

In a flash, he recalled the news broadcast he had heard back at the filling station. Down there in that wrecked car, was the man who had killed that Seattle woman! ; THE END (The characters in this story are fictitious.)

Forty-three protesting Democrats from 20 states. comprise this conference. : Fighting “Isms” “We will do what we can,” Mr. Reed said, “to preserve the honor and integrity of the Democratic Party and to save the country from the threat of Socialism, Communism, Bolshevism and all the other isms that have characterized the imbecilic and unpatriotic. actions of the Roosevelt Administration. “Every man here is of the opinion that the policies of the present Administration are anti-Democratic and anti-American; that every honorable means ought to be employed to defeat the New Deal and its advocates and sponsors. “Many representatives here believed the best way to accomplish that result was to support the Lan-don-Knox ticket. Many disagreed. It has been left open to each community to follow its own judgment. We are not going to indorse Gov. Landon as a group.” :

former ‘Senator James A. Reed of Missouri was named chairman of the national committee of the new organization to be. known as “National Jeffersonian Democrats.” The conference voted to establish headquarters in St. Louis.

AVOID COMMENT ONASTORCASE

Worst ‘Dynamite’ in Movie History, Their Idea on Sensational Trial.

By United Press LOS# ANGELES, Aug. 8-—The Hollywood movie colony, terming the Mary Astor-Dr. Franklyn Thorpe child custody battle “the worst case of dynamite” in its hise tory, imposed silence today on all aspects of the affair—as far as the public prints are concerned. Lawyers for the divorced couple prepared”to go into court Monday to provide new sensations, however,

as Hollywood residents washed their hands of the entire matter, with the exception of animated gossip over the cocktail ’

glasses. Reports were Lieard that the office -of Will Hays, film dictator, has issued an order that no film person should comment. The Hays ‘organization made no official ane nouncement, but it was known that many studio executives have passed the word that silence is the best policy. , Producers Are Worried

Attempts to ascertain what the stars think of the Astor case met with rebuff at every turn. Publizity men, who usually are alert to proe vide contact between players and the

press, declined their usual services on the ground that “we like our jobs and simply can’t fool around with. that dynamite.”
