RON (PLAW

BY ARTHUR STRINGER

"Whatever you do, don't let them get that young woman away from you!" Faintly the listener could hear the sound of sudden calls, of quick questions and answers and counter question. Then the voice of Golden was once more frantically calling him over the wire. "Manley, Manley. la that yyu? You've spoken too late. Wilson, my butler, has Just hurried in to me here. Ten minutes ago a stranger, claiming to be a meter Inspector, got entrance to the house. Do you hear me, they've taken the girl! She's gone!" "Gone?" echoed Manley. Then I haven't time to stand here talking." Yet, Enoch Golden, even as Manley himself, had little time for talking over that strange abduction. For two minutes later his still flurried butler announced the arrival of James Griswold, the president of the Union-Traders' bank, on urgent business. The banker showed Golden a letter threatening his bank because he was a friend of the multl-mllllonalre. He also told him that the newspapers had launched a campaign against Golden's tenements and that a fellow banker of the Third National had received a similar warning. The telephone bell interrupted Golden as he was about to Bpeak. "Yes, this is Mr. Golden's house. Yes, M' Griswold Is here. What's that?" He leaned forward for a moment, listening. Then the receiver tell from his flaccid hand. "My God, Griswold, your building Is on fire! The Union-Traders' bank is burning." The next minute Griswold was hurrying from the house and leaping into his waiting limousine. Golden, sitting at his desk, stared startled and vacant-eyed before him. Yet that young secretary who was so foolishly accepted as feather-headed was, at the time being, anything but idle. Ten minutes after his talk over the wire with Golden he was in a taxlcab speeding towards the Stein house on Maple avenue. A block away

from that house he dismounted, sauntering casually up to the home of Legar's confederate as a tradesman's delivery wagon stopped before it. Handing the boy a dollar Manley took his packages and presented them to the maid. As she turned to get the money he darted up the stairs and hid behind the portiers of a room. He heard a man tell another that wireless waves had started a combustion in two different parts of the city. Moving curiously forward, he peered out Into the room. Clustered about the table, bent close over the map, he could see Stein and Legar and two of his unknown accomplices. Maniey advanced silently into the room, crouching low as. he went. For on the table he had already caught sight of the blueprint of Stein's projector apparatus. So, holding hi3 breath, he crept closer. He had the blueprint in his hand, but before he could slip back from the table edge his prestnee was detected and his retreat cut off. He darted for the window, going through it like a circus rider through a paper hoop. A minute later the conspirators wrre after' him. But Manley, rolling through a clump of shrubbery and doubling rabbit-like on his pursuers, flcdgod under cover. By the time he hsd recovered his breath and hl3 wits lie slipped unobserved from the rounds, rounded the block and clivab- '! into his waiting taxlcab. 'Police headquarters!" he told the driver. Hriof as was Manley's visit to politv.: headquarters, that call resulted in sudden and startling movements from the great gray structure in Center street. For the mysterious fires were now breaking out even in crowded tenements on the East side, keeping a bewildered fire department shuttling Impotently back and forth. The attack on Legar's skyline quar

ters was a feverishly hurried and yet a surprisingly orderly one. It was not until the police reached the top floor that the elevator came to a stop. At the same moment that they poured out into the narrow hallway a mechanician In his shirt sleeves evened the door leading from Legar's private workroom and started down the hall. Before he could get away the lieutenant brought him down. Legar escaped through a chute. Manley haila taxlcab and hurried eastward to the Owl's Nest. Two minutes after Legar went rocking and swerving eastward he was followed by a stranger in a second taxi cab. This stranger drove straight to the water front, two blocks to the north, dismissed his taxi, and earnestly conferred with a roughly dressed longshoreman, who later rounded the slip in a rowboat and took the stranger aboard. Legar in his quarters beneath the Owl's Nest, was in anything but an amiable mood. He sjared about at his coterie of unsavory confederates. A gleam of triumph showed in his narrowing eyes as he spied a white-

faced girl in a chair near the fireplace. I

"So we've got you back, little one? he mocked.

"Courage, little one, courage '."said a low yet distinct voice. - Legar, at the sound, wheeled suddenly about. "Who taught' that damned bird to talk?" he demanded. . , . "Why, cap, that . parrot can't talk," declared the tremulous coke-snuffer at the end of the table, "it never could talk!" "Then who said 'Courage'?" called out the irate master criminal. "I did," said the same distinct yet ghostly voice. . And had that wideeyed group stared closer into' the fireplace, instead of at the silent and motionless bird on its perch, they might have noticed where a small stone, little bigger than a. man's hand had been worked loose and lifted away from the heavy wall separating

that unseen watcher from , the room j

into which he bad been peering. Yet that stone was once more in place before Legar and, .his worthies peered, squinting-eyed, about the smoke stained masonry. Only, the hands of the girl," sitting -silent " and thoughtful in her chair, were no longer trembling. The cowering look had faded from her eyes. For to her; that

"Two Sisters"

"Perhaps," faltered Caryl, her voice trembling with the joyous beating of her heart. Somerdyke had never talked to her like this. She told herself that she was realizing at last that for W'hich she had longed, and her happiness made her breath come fast. "Then will you begin by calling me by my first name?" Hadley urged,

triumph shining in his eyes. "Yes," promised Caryl, her cheeks crimson with excitement and gratified vanity. "But you mustn't call ' me 'Miss Marvin' any more, then. My name is 'Caryl.' " "It's a bargain!" exclaimed Hadley, raising his glass which the waiter had just brought. "Let's drink a cocktail to our better acquaintance Caryl!" Julia had spent a dreary evening in her room. For an hour Mrs. Halloran had tried to entertain her with a lengthy and pointless story of the doings of some remote relatives in "the old country." The girl had listened with a show of interest which gratified the talker, but in reality her thoughts had been elsewhere. She was unaccountably uneasy about Caryl a fact for which she chided herself. Twice after Mrs. Halloran had returned to her own rooms in the basement Julia was on the verge of going out to telephone to Delaine and ask him what he knew about the people to whom his friend had introduced his stenographer. Then a sense of loyalty to her sister and a mortifying recollection of that sister's insinuations with regard to Delaine's attentions deterred her. At last she controlled her doubts and fears sufficiently to undress and go to bed, but sleep eluded her and she lay in the darkness listening for the sound of Caryl's footsteps on the stairs. When her clock told her that it was after twelve, she rose, put on her wrapper and slippers, and paced the floor in an agony of anxiety. It was one o'clock when the door opened softly and Caryl entered the room. Her face was flushed and her eyes were unaturally bright. With an exuberance of feeling which her sister had never seen her display before she ran to Julia and flung her arms around her.

"Oh, Judy, .Judy!'.' she exclaimed rapturously, "I've had such a . lovely time!" ' , , . ' Again, as once before, Julia's, heart sank sickenlngly as the acrid odor of liquor assailed her, nostrils. ', She started to speak, but controlled the impulse. Suddenly there , flashed into her mind a saying of her. father's, "It's ill arguing with a drunken man," and she shuddered at the word "drunken," then chided herself sharply for thinking of such a condition in connection with her little sister. Caryl's friends had probably coaxed her to drink a glass of wine, and rather than seem peculiar, the child had yielded, and had been . affected by it-because she was unused to stimulants just as she had been affected before by. something she had taken with Somerdyke. Remembering this, the older sister decided to wait. until tomorrow before uttering any word of warning 'or admonition. , Meanwhile Caryl, .struck by the silence, slowly removed her arms from her sister's neck and looked at her apprehensively. "Please, Judy," she begged, "don't scold me for being out so late! Don't spoil my fun by being cross about it." . "I'm not going to be cross, dear," Julia responded gently. "But I do not mean to let you stay up any longer now, for you are tired. Undress, dear, and get into bed." - The girl began to remove the pins from her hat and, as she did so, Julia startled in astonishment. "Why, Caryl!" she exclaimed, "you have a new hat! Where did you get it?" Caryl giggled nervously. "Yes isn't it a stunner?" she replied. "I got it this afternoon, and this waist at the same time. I simply had to have them, you know, for I expect to go to fashionable places more than I have been doing. Aren't they both pretty?" "They are very becoming," Julia assented slowly. She was tempted to ask what they cost, but refrained. Caryl, guessing her thought, spoke with apparent frankness. "You see," she said, "I. am getting quite good pay considering from Delaine, and he ought to give me a raise soon. I must look well, for my position demands it. So, Judy, I decided to get these things this week and pay you later for my share of the room-rent." As Julia did not reply immediately, Caryl giggled again. "I declare," she remarked, "the fun I had in these new things was worth more than the price I paid for them." "Were the girl and her brother so pleasant?" asked her sister, trying to conceal her disapproval. (More Tomorrow.)

Banana Temptation ' ,J , ; ... . ; By CONSTANCE CLARKE.

F POSSIBLE, the iced drinks and fancy ices this Summer seem more refreshing ' than . ever. What could be more enjoyable than big, luscious cherries served with frozen cream, bananas and candied ginger.

co store, and I was right at his heels when he entered. He leaned over' the counter, and asked in a low, meaning tone for a box of Cairo, cigarettes. The man gave him a long, searching glance, then turned, and ' reaching back of a pile of boxes on the first shelf,' drew out a flat one the size of which1 holds twenty cigarettes. He passed it quickly over to Paddington, but not before I observed that it had been opened and rather clumsily resealed. - "Paddington handed over a quarter and left the shop .without . , another word. He went directly to a cheap restaurant across the street, and, ordering a cup of coffee, he tore open the cigarette box. It contained only a sheet of paper, folded twice." (More Monday.)

"I trailed him inside, and went to the men's counter, where I bought a tie-clasp, keeping my eye on him all the time. What do you think he got?" A gold locket and chain a heart shaped locket, with a chip diamond in the center!" "The eternal feminine!" Blain commented ;' and then he added half under his breath: "Fifine Dechaussee's on the job!" "What, sir?" asked the operative curiously. "Nothing, Guy.. Merely an idle observation. Go on with your story." "Paddington went straight from the jeweler's to the Democratic club for an hour, then dined alone at Rossi's. I was on the look-out for the woman, but none appeared, and he didn't act as if he expected anybody. After dinner he strolled down Bellaire avenue, past the Lawton residence, and out to Fairlawn park. Once inside the gates, he stopped for a minute near a lamp-post and .looked at his watch, then hurried straight to Hydrangea Path, as if he had an appointment to keep. I dropped back in the shadow, but tailed along. She must have been late, that girl, for he cooled his heels on a bench for twenty minutes, growing more impatient all the time.. Finally she came a slender wisp of a girl, but some queen! Plainly dressed, dark hair and eyes, small hands and feet and a face like a stained-glass window! "They walked slowly up and down, talking very confidentially, and once he started to put his arm about her, but she moved away. I walked up quickly, and passed them, close enough to hear what she was saying: "Of course it is lonely for a girl in a strange country, where she has no friends.' That was all I got, but I

noticed that she spoke with a decidedly foreign accent, French or Spanish, I I should say. "Around a bend in the path I hid behind a clump of bushes and waited J

until they had passed, then tailed them again. I saw him produce the locket and chain at last, and offer them to her. She protested and took a lot of persuading; but he prevailed upon her and she let him clasp it about her neck and kiss her. After

that Good Lord! They spooned for'

about two hours and never even noticed the snow which had begun to fall, while I shivered along behind. About half-past ten they made a break-away and he left her at the

park gates and went on down to his rooms. , I put up for .the night at the Hotel Gay thqrne,--just across- the way, aiid kept a look-out, but there was no further development until early this morning. .'

Here, comes the Heavy Tourist the finest, thickest, strongest tube on the market. Thick with the thickness that spells extra service thickest on the rim side, where rim rust and pinching must be resisted. Stout and sturdy tubes, for stout and sturdy cars tubes which will bear the brunt, on cars whith must render hard and heroic service. Extra-tube-strength for cars which race, or travel at high speed cars which take long tours, and tires which must stand abuse. ; Built up into this quality-stoutness, by a series of thin sheets of fine rubber one sheet superimposed upon another. Protection for you in this one-piece, airtight process of layer upon layer protection against air blisters and sand ,which make the tube porous and cause slow leaks. No chance for flaws or foreign matter to escape the eye of the inspector in this one-piece construction a fault is instantly detected, and the tube thrown out.

But the greatest goodness of Goodyear Heavy Tourist Tubes doesn't end with the greatest thickness and the one-piece construction. In a drastic laboratory test of 21 leading brands of tubes, Heavy Tourists won not only on one count, but on all. They proved superior in quality, construction, thickness, strength and dimensions every vital feature a tube should have. Every detail that would add to strength has been emphasized in the construction as, for instance, in the splendid protection furnished by the vulcanized valve patch, the valve being vulcanized into the tube and an integral part of it. Goodyear Heavy Tourist Tubes represent a form of over-insurance a positive form of protection to meet exceptional cases and conditions. With Heavy Tourist Tubes in Goodyear Tires, you can defy the unusual and be unafraid of the abnormal. They are the quintessence of quality the very outside and uttermost in highest grade tube construction. They are good in any tire, better still in any Goodyear Tire, and best of all, perhaps, in strong, sturdy Goodyear Cords.
