CHAPTER 34
UAVID MOYER was finishing a
‘ ;ry late supper while he talked to
• is mother who sat at the table with
*.m. passing him more bread, and
i.'tening to his account of the day.
That was a long-established custom
m the Moyer household, from the
smallest child In school to the eldest
one at work, to relate to Mumsy the
high spots of each day's activities.
When they aat around the dinner
able altogether. It was a general
contribution. These days, however,
with Marcia writing of her activities
by letter, and David staying late at
the office almost every evening in his
ambitious zeal, they had grown to be
more or less private accounts from
each one.
“Aren’t you working too hard.
David?" his mother inquired anx
iously. “Is It necessary to give so
many hours to your work 7"
"It la In this game. Mumsy. It's
the kind of work that Is never done.
■.<ih! how could It be. with human
beings awake somewhere In the
world all the twenty-four hours of
every day. and something happening
every minute? And a newspaper has
to be on the spot everywhere, every
minute. Besides, you have to be
better than just good, to get any no
tice from editora They're the most
difficult guys in the world to please.
I guess, but they know their stuff,
nnd they can’t take a chance on
being easy with anyone. You have to
grind to make ’em notice you because
they won't take a chance that a fel
low wants a break. He has to show
that he wants it. and deserves It. I
wonder if I'll ever get mine,” he
ended dejectedly.
lira. Moyer chided with a smile.
“You are too impatient. David. You
have only been a reporter for a few
months. Did you expect to be the
editor by this time?"
“The sooner, the better." he smiled
reply.
The ringing of the telephone In the
hall interrupted them. Mrs Moyer
balf arose, but David stopped her.
“IH get it. Never mind."
“1 hope." s flash of premonition
warned her. “that It isn’t something
about Vi—“
But David already was talking
rather excitedly. She heatd only one
side of the conversation, to which she
listened intently.
“Moyer, this is Merrick," the voice
on the wire Informed David. “Are you
too tired to take care of an assign
ment yet tonight?”
.“Not at all.” David assured him.

“Well. I can’t locate the other boys.
They all seem to be out enjoying
themselvea Anyway. 1 just had a
call from Springfield that some big
news broke there tonight, and I want
it for the morning edition."
“Yes. sir. Where do I go?"
"To police headquarters. All i
know is that part of a big ring of
fur smugglers has been arrested
there. Two men and a girl. Anyway,
you get the story straight, and dress
it «p right."
“Yes, sir. Glad of the chance, Mi.
Merrick—yes—yes—thanks a lot. sir.”

“What a it, Dave? Where are you
going?" anxiously.
To Springfield to get a big story,
and don’t worry »t I’m not back until
morning. Remember, I'n, no little
boy now. that needs to ne watched
for by his mother, cause I’ll soon be
editor of the Mltchelfield Herald." he
chucked her under the chin as he
dropped a hasty kiss on her cheek,
and was off. Jubilantly.

When David arrived at his desti
nation. he found the usual group of
reporters In the corridor, which indi
cated the room where the Investiga
tion was In progresa. Most of them
were older men. and regarded David’s
intrusion with Inquiring eyea One of
them asked. “Where you from?
What’s your sheet?”
“Mltchelfield Herald. Mltchelfield—"
Their attitudes became more amiable.
No home competition, anyway.
"Know the story?" someone in
quired.
"Not much. Fur smugglers ar
rested by federal agents, aren’t they?"
The other nodded. “Swell lookin’ girl
with ’em. too. Always a woman In
the case. You can bet on that- That’s
one of the reasons for crime—wom

get 'em to talk. They've been in
there for an hour, now.”

Vivian faced her interrogator de
fiantly. He was the rather handsome
man with the keen gray eyes, who
had talked to her In the hotel lobby
“I might have known you were
some kind of detective.” she said
scathingly.
“Sorry." he replied laconically

also the mechanic.”
“Sorry. It can’t be done. They are
your colleagues, aren’t they? The
man Is your mechanic, and the
lady—?"
“I can prove that what he says
about the lady Is true," ventured Ted.
‘ sf:e only came —*
“Keep quiet." admonished Gene.
"Well, how are we going to get out
of this, if we don’t tell ’em the truth?”
Ted asked practically.
“Don’t spare me; for yourself.
Gene." Vivian told him. with stoic
calm.
“Are yon ready to make a clean
confession?" asked the official. “You
had better. We have the rest of your
gang, even Pierre and Steve and
Andy."
“They have confessed, too."
prompted one of the men who had
brought them in.
"Oh. yeah?” sneered Gene.
Fear leaped Into Vivian’s eyea, and
unconsciously, they appealed to the
chief whom she had seen at the hotel.
’’Come on. Tell us about it." he
encouraged kindly. “Who are you’’’
“Go ahead, tell him." Gene agreed.
"You don’t know anything about this
affair, anyway."
"Won’t It hurt you?”
He laughed mirthlessly "No. but
being mixed up with me is sure
going to be bad for you. I’m sorry,
Vi.”
The chief started visibly as be

her to Ted. who appeared to be as
innocent as hs actually was.
"All right, then," Vivian'* chin
went up with sudden determination.
”1 am Vivian Moyer from Mltchel
field, and I came up here to elope
with Gene. I love him." she added
simply.
An attendant became busy with
shorthand notes as the others listened
closely. Fotlowed many questions—
absurd questions. Vl.thought—hurled
at her like spiteful darts. Then it
was Ted’s turn. Qene agreed that he
should talk, also. He did, answering
the questions earnestly, and a little
fearfully. He knew not what this
was all about, but he was much im
pressed and anxiously sober about it,
as innocent victims of the law always
are. The charge against him seemed
to be more grave than was Vivian’s
He had kept the law-breaking plane
of the smuggler's ring to running
order, and might just as well be one
of their number from first to last—
Just a mechanic stationed at another
point
“Now for the other fellow, chief."
declared the officer who had quea
tioned Ted.
But Gene remained stubbornly si
lent
"We have the story," the chief re
minded him. “Have had it for months,
but we just now got the evidence.
You've been smuggling fura over the
border to this Steve In St Louis, for
two years. You know me. toe. I'm
the simple fellow you and Pierre kid
naped In Toronto after you had dis
abled my plane. But you bungled, as
ell crooks do. sometimes You won’t
be able even to escape the federal
prison in an airplane. But we’ll get
your confession later. That doesn’t
worry us In the least Put him In
handcuffs." he ordered, "and take him
out" Then he turned to Vivian and
Ted. “I happen to know that these
two are telling the truth. They ara
Vivian Moyer and Ted Stanton and
they are as innocent of this affair as
they claim to bo "
“Why. how—7" Vivian cried.
"1 am Turner Gilmore. It Is Just
possible that your sister, Marcia, has
written to you about knowing me.”
“Why, yes," gasped Vivian, trem
bling now with the Severe strain of
the evening's development*
“She happened to mention you and
your sky lover, and the fact that
Stanton, here." he turned kindly to
ward Ted. “was working for the pilot
in Springfield, tt just happens that
you picked the wrong time to elope—
or perhaps, it could have been worse,"
lie amended.
Vivian began to cry hysterically.
“Rut I —l—love Gene."
Gilmore’s eyes were towered. That
is a tragedy. Miss Moyer. But per
haps you will recover in time, and
ran forget this—very unfortunate af
fair. I am sorry to have been the
means of making you s 0 unhappy,
and yet, I feel that I have spared
you greater unhappiness. Go bach to
your home with Stanton, and we
shall report only that you were both
held for questioning, because yew
