"That’s enough out of you," Cobb yelled, starting toward the man. H* suddenly whipped out a gun and leveled it at Cobb. "Stay where you are, young feller." Cobb tiackrj away and the man turned the gua

on Longfellow.

"You're going to get some more publicity, Mr. Deeds. On the front page again, but I don’t think you’ll like it this time!" His voice rose hysterically. “See how much good your money will do you when you're pushing up daisie:! Never thought of that, did you, — you moneygrabbing hick! Never thought about all the people who are starving — not able to feed their wives and kids. Not able to—” The man's voice broke. He sobbed, staggered to a chair and, glancing down, saw the gun in his handRealizing what ho was about to do, he dropped it to the floor where Cobb quickly retrieved it. “Oh, my God!" he cried. No one*spoke and Longfellow looked at him pltying'y. "Sorry,” he mumbled, “I didn't know what I was doing. Losing your farm after twenty years — seeing your kids go hungry — standing in breadlines — I guess I went crazy for a minute." Hi) looked up at Deeds. "You can call the cops now,

"X finally hud sense enough to have you followed tonight. 'Hu dame you’ve been running around with is Babe Bennett. ..New York’, smartest sob-sister. She took you for a sleigh ride that New York will laugh about for years. She’s the slickest, double-crossing, twotiming — ” Longfellow, in a rage, grabbed Cobb's throat and shook him. "What aic you talking about?" h roared. Cobb yelled right back at him, "All right — go ahead! Sock away.” With his free hand he reached into his coat pocket. “And then try to laugh this off,” be added, thrusting a photograph under Deeds' nose. It was a photograph of Babe Bennett and Longfellow relaxed his (,np on Cobb as he read the caption beneath it. "Louise (Babe) Bennett wins Pulitzer Prize for reportorkii job on Macklyn Murder Trial." Longfellow staled unbelievingly at the picture while Cobb continued with his tirade. "She's the smartost reporter on the 'Mail'. Every time you opened your kisser you were giving her another story. She’s the dame who christened you the ‘Cinderella Man’. She's the—” Longfellow interrupted him. "Shut up!” ho cried, and there was agony in his voice. He crossed to a chair and sat down. For a long time he said nothing and his face was a dead mask ol disillusionment. Slowly, a wry smile came to his lips as Cobb and Walter watched him in sympathetic silence. “Pack my things, Walter,” he said "I’m going back to Mandrake Falls.” Cobb's face softened. "Gosh, pal, If I knew you wore going to take it so hard I’d havo kept my trap shut." Longfellow was about to speak when a commotion In thr»hall ; distracted them. The door burst open and a wild-eyed man came Into the room, struggling with the , butler. . . _ , “Lemmo go!" ho cried. ‘I wanna see him! I wanna see that guy! | Lcmme go!" He stared at Longi fellow.

“FINANCIERS SHOCKED IVY AMAZING PLAN OF DEEDS” “THOUSANDS OF UNEMPLOYED b TOKM DEEDS HOME TO APPLY FOR FARM LAND” The drawing room of his home transformed into a noisy, bustling olfice, Longfellow worked night and day talking to applicants, oidenng farm implements, consulting with architect* and farming experts. Neither Cobb nor himself had been away from their desks for rr.oro than a few hours at a time since Deeds’ desperate visitor come days before. Cobb pleaded with Dsous to taka his time but Longfellow would not listen. He wanted to linisli everything an quickly as pus-.-.ible and got back to Mandrake Falls. XJabe B nnett had tried to talk with him by telephone several times but Deeds would not talk with her. Longfellow was sitting at his desk, munching on a sandwich and interviewing the long line of men waiting to ece him. He was unshaven and his ehlrt collar was open. Three strange men pushed their way to the head of the lino and approached Longfellow's desk. One of them spoke. "Longfellow Deeds?” "Yes.” "We've got a warrant for your arrest. You ll have to come along with us.” Cobb jumped to his feet. "What are you mugga talking about?” he asked. "I don't know nothin’, buddy,’’ one of tho men replied. "All I know Is the sheriff gimme an Insanity warrant to execute." "Who says he’s insane?" Cobb demanded. “The complainant is a relative of the late Martin Semple. Charge) that Deeds is insane and Incapable of handling the estate.” I/ongfellow laughed cynically. "That’s marvelous," he said. "Thut makes everything complete. Just ’cause I went to give my money to people who need it they think I’m insane." "Wait a minute," Cobb Interrupted. "We v.-ant to get a lawyer. I'll call Cedar.” “Don’t bother, buddy,’’ the deputy sheriff said, "Cedar swore out tho complaint. He represents the complainant. C'mon, Mr. Deeds, lot’s go.” Longfellow slowly rose and walked out with the sheriff’s men, with Cobb trailing along behind him. (-To la continued.)
