SYNOPSIS Pretty Mary Kennedy breaks her engagement to the elderly but wealthy sports promoter, Buck Landers when she falls in love with his young ward. Steve Moore Landers kidnaps Steve and threatens to frame him unless Mary marries Landers. Mary flirts with Landers’ henchman, Bat, to gain his confidence. She learns of Steve’s whereabouts and goes there alone. In a dingy flat, Mary is confronted by two thugs who deny all knowledge of Steve. They hold her and phone Landers. Landers arrives and orders his men out. When Landers refuses to leave, Mary shoots at him, but misses. He flees. Steve con fesses to Mary that he is engaged, but he loves her. Mary has misgivings when Steve plans a visit to Eileen Calvert, his fiancee, to explain the situation. Steve writes that he has not had an opportunity to speak with Eileen Mary replies, pouring out her heart to him. She is waiting for a response when a telegram arrives. CHAPTER XXXIV. ‘ARY took the telegram from the boy outside the door of her sister's apartment. A message from Steve was too intimate, too thrilling, to open before the family, lest they read the joy in

her face.

“Am arriving New York tomorrow. Close friend of Steve’s. Will call on you in evening for private conversation. Please try to see me.

Important.

WILLIAM CALVERT, Jr.” Bill Calvert! Why, that was the brother of Eileen Calvert. . . . And Steve had been engaged to Eileen. And what did that word “important" mean'’ It wa« so strange that Steve himself hadn't wired! She reread the message and her hands, as she held it, shook a little. Behind the typed words of the telegram she seemed able to discern the sad, beautiful face of the other girl. A swift fear that something was wrong with Pteve that Eileen was involved—assailed her, but her will fought savagely any such notion. Nothing had was going to hap

pen—nothing to worry about could i Park.”

She was eager for tomorrow to come. Surely, there would be a letter from Steve in the morning's mail before she left for the office. But none came. Throughout the day's work she tried to lose herself in the tasks at hand, but it was difficult to battle the impatience for night to come. When she got home again there was no letter from Steve. All that remained to do now was to wait for the appearance of William Calvert, Jr. Over and over she told herself she had nothing to worry about. When the buzzer in the apartment announced his coming, she tripped down the stairs, eager to meet him. He would bring her news of Steve— the spoken word and that was the next best thing to seeing Steve him-

self!

She knew, by instinct, as soon as she saw him, that this youth waiting in the doorway of the apartment house was Bill Calvert. He, too, seemed to know her. He took off a Panama hat and smiled. “This is Miss Kennedy, isn’t it?” He was tanned and muscular, wider about the shoulders than Steve, more athletic in bearing. Dark brown eyes looked at her pleasantly from a roundish, intelligent face. Mary thought he seemed more practical, more mature than Steve. And she knew, too, that he was popular—that he would never want for friends. At a glance, she felt him to he thoroughly honest. ‘T’ve been so worried about your telegram,” she said, intently, studying his face to read what was behind those brown eyes. "Steve is—he's all right, isn't he?" “I'm sorry you were worried," he told her quickly. “Steve is perfectly nil right— he’s splendid. Perhaps it was the stupid way I worded the message that bothered you.” “I thought if it was ‘important,’ it must be serious," Mary said, with

a smile of relief.

He smiled, but gave her no fur-

ther assurance.

“1 won’t ask you upstairs because it’s a small place, and it’s rather cluttered up with the family just at present,” Mary said. “I thought we could talk better if we walked out somewhere. It's nice in Prospect

happen! She thrust the message into her bosom, went back into the apartment for her hat. and started out for a walk in the cool night air. Her feet carried her block after block. She came to Prospect Park and walked for a long time along the footpaths amid the cool dark greenery of the trees. One or two men looked at her curiously, but her

•et white face forestalled them.

Upon a bench near a park light she read the telegram again. What had happened to Steve? Was he ill? Had he been injured in an accident . . . had he been killed? Anguish writhed at the dreadful thought, but love came to her rescue. Their love was impregnable — nothing could break it or harm it. Love was a mighty fortress that sheltered them from all harm, all accidents, all blights common to the rest of humanity. In a calmer mood, she

reconsidered the message.

No hint of trouble was suggested hi Us cryptic wording. Steve’s friend was merely coming to New York perhaps *n business — and naturally Steve Had told him to look her up. That was it. of course. Steve wanted Bill Calvert to see hen: obviously, it would be impor-

tant. \\ hat a fool she had been to 'ing her. “You’re worried

you?” she

The confident security in her heart continued to build, and she v I ' d ha#' hmir with all distress

“Why, yes—just as you like. And you mustn’t worry about Steve." His friendly eyes searched her face. "He told me how crazy he was about you, and I must say I can’t blame him.” His look, his kindly words, soothed her jangled nerves—yet did not entirely destroy some obscure tightness in her breast. He was holding something back—she could sense it. Why had he come to see her at all? Really, there was no reason. She came down the steps. Together they swung out toward Prospect Park. Bill Calvert was nearly as tall as Steve; like Steve, too, he seemed different from the New York men. More out-of-doors - a physical balance that came from splendid health. She couldn’t help liking

him.

“Has Steve told you everything—■ about me? About Mr. Landers, and

everything?”

“Yes, .and a hair-raising story it was, too. 1 really wanted to see what you looked like a girl with gameness like yours. I thought you certainly would have to be an Amazon, but you turn out to be more"

of a Dresden doll.”

But his gaze seemed to be avoid-

hits pretty close home for me. My sister thought she was going to marry him, and it's pretty much of a shock to the whole family.” She could feel her heart begin to freeze. “I see. It must be awful for her—does she love Steve very

much?"

“I—am sure she does, Miss Kennedy. You see, Steve is the only fellow she ever gave a hang about in her life.” His tone was unhappy, and his bronze face seemed drawn. But there was no hint of criticism against Mary in his look or manner. “I just want to talk it over with you,” he said, in the kindest voica. “You see, Eileen is my only sister and Steve’s my pal. What Eileen couldn’t understand and it puzzles me, too is how something like this could flame up so unexpectedly in Steve's life, and smash everything. It’s particularly tough on Eileen. I’m sure you can understand that. Miss Kennedy.” His eyes besought her to understand, but she understood far too well. This was the beginning—the first velvet move of their effort to take Steve away from her. She had battled for him against crime and vengeance. Yes, at the very risk of her life, she had won him back out of peril. She had faced men as hPartless as wild beasts! And now she was being attacked with more deadly weapons — with well-bred courtesy . . with soft words and smooth sentiment . . . All at once she knew, beyond doubt, that Bill Calvert was here to stop her marriage with Steve! Mary walked along beside Bill Calvert, silent because she was choking down the protest that threatened to leap from her lips in wild ironic burst* What did it matter if Bill Calvert was gentle and kindly and likable! He was her enemy ... he wa* here to wreck her happiness ... to fight with fair words for his sister ... he was here to sunder her from Steve . . . But she would have to fight him with his own weapon. It would be guile against guile, sympathy versus understanding ... a slight advantage lay with the man; he had been trained, schooled in the usages of breeding and poise. Mary gathered all her forces together, tried to tune her nerves to the one correct pitch. Not that she was ever shrill or strident—but she could not afford to waste any emotional energy. "Steve hasn’t written me for two days,” she said. "Do you know

why?”

She could see a troubled expression settle around his mouth. "Shall I tell you the truth. Miss Kennedy?" "Yes, please.” “Because I asked him not to write you. I didn't think it was fair to Eileen.” She stared at him with bewildered eyes. "You mean to tell me,” she said, her voice shaking, “that Steve stopped writing me ... because you told him to?” . . . "Steady, Miss Kennedy.” He touched her arm with his hand, a kindly gesture. “Hear me out. I have a little bettet plan than letter writing—it may save a lot of heartbreak later on. It would be wonder* fill if your love affair with Steve concerned only you two, but, unfortunately, Eileen ia involved. Tm sure she loves him as much as you do, and, I think, is entitled to equal consideration.” "No, that's not true!” Mary contradicted. “Steve loves me, and not Eileen, if you will forgive ne for saying so.” * (To Bn Contlnuotf) V Cuftrrifht, King Keitur* Syndlttt*. 2m.

GROSS INCOME TAX

Since May 1st, 1933, you have been knowingly or unknowingly (as the case may be), paying a tax of 1"° levied by the State of Indiana on Gross Income which include: receipts from sale of all tangible property. There are two methods by which merchants may reimburse themselves for this tax:

METHOD NO. 1—Bv raising retail prices *tif ficiently to cover it. METHOD NO. 2—Bv addme the tax to your sales slip and collecting it as a separate item. Which method to adopt in coUerting this tax (which up until now has been concealed in the retail price of merchandise) is a problem which has confronted all merchants. We feel that in all fairness lo the shopping public, this tax should be brought out into the

It does not permit you to know whether you are paying the exact T 0 tax—or MORI You may be paying excess tax on your purchase to make up for a purchase on which your neighbor has paid no tax! Moreover, concealing the tax is not avoiding it! It be paid! Let's not fool ourselves!

Method No into the open!

The sales tax is added on your sales sl’p -marked in plain figures! It prevents escess collection. It is your assurance that you are paying the required \ 0/0 —no more! THEREFORE, because we believe tha 1 Method No. 2 is the fairer and more satisfactory to both the consumer and ourselves, beginning Wednesday, September 13th. we will adopt this method of adding the following amounts in plain figures at the bottom of vour sales slip, to reimburse ourselves for this tax.
