Fur hours be has ridden with a dead body. NOW CO ON WITH THE STCMtY Hours later Johnny gingerly nioyed bis haad throbbed as tfl«iBglk 1000 Uttle devils were pounding his brain. Slowly con- siouaftess mm»*. He beard the atrady {^um of the powerful jnotor and the raufflcd tone of the exhaM^ ' Ha attempted to move. Ex- cruxlating pain shot through bto bvdy from heiMl to toe; be bare ly w«s able to stifle an anguish ed outcry. Then he relaxed and dozed oS into a troubled sleep. Outside tb« coupe Boomed and split the highway, blending itself vrith the sbawdow of the night. 9re«s aad poJ«» flew pa»t in «fld ls«9 procession, while "the Boas" calmly poured more »im1 iiK>re gas into tha accelemtor as if fleeing from the imps of Hell Mienuelves. His swartjiy face had a striAen, ashy look of fear; though bis every nkove was calm and delikerate. Finally, the coupe slowed to a nH>derate pace, turned right, and then left i»to dark, dismal path winding away down into the ivramp. I^addenly the covpe i$apped. “Til* Boss’* sounded the horn three times long and two short, instantly from nowhere it seem^ ed three forma emerged from the shadows. "Dat youse Boss?’* queried one of the forms. Yeab, come heah you guys and get this package outa de back and ease H-Avvy boomed “Tha Boss.** —Sliure- Boss, we Avvy," Came the answ er from the shaidows. Just at this point Johnny • w«ke to the extent that he hedird the voices. Fortunately for lyim, tw« of the rags had stuck in the two of the rags had stuck in*'the Irdga of the trunk and prevented his auffocation. Quick a« a flash h’s youthful brain summed up the sKuatfon. He realised his only chance for escape was now while all o^'^e »**Hr was toge ther in the daxVnese. Crmfc. Crimsh, th« ' footsteps on tba gUTt li eoBiiiv itowu4» the' conpa, Johnny lensed Ids muscles I aLd waitad, the second dragged; ’ then, fingers, fuMbled on tha trunk ledga “Dam I” muttered Jaka tinder his bra«^. Swiah! Blamt Up went the ledge and two thugs bowled over. Quick aS a flash Johnny sprang out-grim,' glimy—from contact witii the I body gf Sam but like « denison * from another world fighting I tooth aiKi |Mil for Ufe on t«p of the pair, The first two assailants wrra out. Hie other one coming in, came in fast, but Johnny was faster; a oc*t flying tackle, two enoppy blows in th* midriff con- qyerad tha third wt. Now, the “Boss'% who until now bad au»- pieioned nothing was becbming in-patient. “What th’ hell's wrong with you lousea?” he started. Just a« tlie last word came- temporarily mad, steely fingers clamped IhemseTves aaround his Uiroat and his kst word ended in | • gulp. “Open up! Open up! Yelled Johnny. ^ Franticly “The Boss” opened Johnny sized him by the i^pe of his neck; and snatched him quick ly to the ground; pounced upon him and began to pummel him viciously. “Stop-Stop Stop! I'll tell—J’U tell—I’ll confess!” The "Boas” whined. Thmking the young st«l wart wpa one of the victims he had fleeced in Kenny Town. Johnny gave him one moi« {paralysing blow he had leaned | ) from a friendly doctor in town ar^> dumped him in the car. Just ab the other thogs were reviving Johnny soomed aiway vith his captives in the Coupe._ How he sensed the direction or the distance back he never was tible to tell.

Because to most of os, our first ap pearance In a bathing suit after a long, lazy winter does pr^nt a real problem. Whether over-welght or under-welght, no figure look* well unless we have a certain amount of exercise. Even the too- thla girl can have unattractive bulges on her hips and a lumpy roll around her waist which a little ex ercise will abolish. Bicycle Exerclaa Excellent One of the best possible exerclKS for all-over trimming is bicycling. Borrow yonr little sister’s or your -ousln’s or one from the child next 4loor and aet oot on a. Jaunt these halwy evenings. Don’t overdo It at first but gradually work up so that > QU can whip off five mUes an eve- ■ling and not notice any atr^ln. If yon haven’t a bicycle and cant bor row one, you can achieve the aame effect by lying on yonr back on the floor and pedaling with yonr l^s in mid-air. This exercise not only takra off nnneceaury bulges but strengtMtais and rounds ofit leg* that need a bt^ of firming. « . Another good exercise which I* espedally helpful to those of ns whose waistlines are not what we might want is tbe bending exercise. Btand straight in your bare fret or flat heel«Hl shoes.

Before you set out to display more of it than you hav* been accustomed to during the last few months, take Inventory of it and see what needs improving. Get a good stiff com plexion brush and icrub your arms, shoulders, back and legs to remove all trace of dry, flakey akin. Oet a good softening cream to remove rough spots from bows, knees and any other section that needs atten tion. Bathing anlt* have so little to distract attention from figure flaws and sicin faalt* that it is well to be prepared for severe scrutiny before setUng out fl«r a day on the beach. There’s very littto time to be lost Select the exercise* best suited to your figure p^lem*and keep at them regularly. Remember that ii i* Msier to exercise now than it will be when the hot weather really sets In.
