PAGE 2 RAPT I : j Fresh from a French convent, Jocelyn Harlowe returns to New York to her socially elect rr .other, a religious, ambitious womar. The girl Is hurried Into an engagement1 with the wealthy Felix Kent. Her father, Nick Sandal, surrep'iously I enters the girl's home one night. He tells her he used to call her Lynda Sandal. The girl is tern by her desire to see life in the raw and to become part of her mother's society. Her father studies her J surroundings. Lynda visits her father in his I dingy quarters. She finds four men playing cards when she arrives. One of them, Jock Ayleward, her father tells her, ts lite a son vj him, but warns the girl he is a trifler. Lynda pays a second visit to her father and Jock takes her home, on the way stopping with her at an underworld cabaret. Jock tells Lynda that Felix caused him to be sent to jail unjustly by fixing up his report on a mine. Lynda says she doesn't believe his story. She pays another visit to her father and goes to a cabaret with him and dances with Jock, who suddenly stops and tells her he Is going to take her right home. He had seen Felix dancing with another woman. Felix tells Jocelyn that Jock is a worthless scamp. Later Lynda tells Jock she does not believe In his innocence but will try and find, through Felix, some letters Jock claims will clear his name. Marcella finds her jewels stolen an<j hires a private detective, who uncovers the mysterious prowlings of Lynda, without knowing who she is. Lynda suspects her father. Jocelyn decides to marry Felix quickly and preparations are made * tI? OViq o clrc him to lur wic wcuuiiig. wiiu -tell her the combination of his safe as a mark of his confidence in her. Armed with the combination and accompanied by Jock, Linda enters Felix's office at night, abstracts the wanted papers from the safe and throws them down to Jock, who is waiting below. Then she is captured by the janitor and turned over to the police. Felix learns the next morning, in Washington, that a "boy'' had broken into his safe. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Ninth Instalment "Yes, sir. I know how you must fftfbugfrffieTnke"?'D&ie?. about one o'clock, or a little earlier, Rory thought he heard a movement on our floor and let himself into the outer office. There he saw a light moving close to the inner threshold. He caught a young boy in the act of climbing in at the window. "Rory struck him over the head with his stick. He thinks he got him in good time. Nothing seems to be disturbed. The safe is quite as usual. All the papers on your desk and inside it are intact. I do believe, Mr. Kent, that no harm's been done. But I'm Just kind of scared. I wish you were here to go over your papers in that safe. And, though Rory is almost sure he was climbing in of course he might have been climbina out. No. sir. They didn't find anything on him. They're holding him at the station. You'll be back before noon?" "I'd have to make it by airplane to do that, Miss Becky." "Well, perhaps it isnt that impartant but I do feel kind of scared." Kent, without troubling himself to reassure her fears, hung up and pondered the exasperating news. If the thief had taken something from that safe ... a thousand hideous betrayals darted through his fancy, whitening his lips, pulling down lines beside the grim mouthcorners. He saw wolf faces, hyena faces. He stood up. He'd take to the air. No use putting himself to the strain of these imaginary disasters. At precisely noon, Charles having been warned by wire to meet him at the landing field. Felix presented himself in his office. Miss Becky was glad to see him. She repeated to him the disorganized details of her information. One that she added caught Kent's 1 breath. "But Michael does say that for an instant he kind of thought maybe the boy threw something down to the court before he knocked him out." Kent was not at the safe and his face was pinched as he began to pull out the contents of the metal drawers. Misg Deal said timidly, "By the way, Mr. Kent, Mrs. Harlowe's been ringing and ringing to ask for you. "Mrs. Harlowe?" snapped Kent. "If she rings again put her off until I'm through with this. Just tell her I'm on my way from Washington and that you'll put me in touch with her as soon as I get in. It's some idiotic woman business about the wed?" He stopped in the middle of that word.

"Oh, great heaven, what's gone?" Kent had stood up. He was chalk white, a pallor that showed blue about his lips. "Get me the police station quickly!" A minute later Felix, seated at his desk, was stabbing space with his questions. Between his brows a deep straight line looked like a scar. He identified himself to the voice at the other end of the telephone and then went on, "You've got the man my night watchman caught in my inner office early this morning. Has he been searched? . . . Yes, I'll hold the wire." While he waited, Kent moved the fingers of his left hand in and out (like a tiger's claws. "Nothing, eh? But I tell you he did get some papers. Yes, they're missing. Important papers ... An accomplice at the foot of the fire escape? Jove! Get his name, his whereabout . . . Well, get 'em. Find out. Can't you make the boy speak? nr*u?, r?* fV?o /\+Vlor orisl Hp.

She'll speak all the quicker if you turn on the works. | I'll take the responsibility. All of it. I tell you," his voice lifted to a shrill whining note, "you've got to get back those papers for me or I'll make your place down there so hot for you that you'll wish you'd put your young lady on a gridiron to save your own skins." Except for an uncertain sort of mumble there was no further pro. test from the other speaker. Felix sat, his hand picking cruelly at a blotter, his face ugly as though it watched torment. He bent forward again. "Wants to speak to me? Won't speak to anyone else?" He sat thinking. "All right. Keep her squirming till I get] there. Trust me to make her come clean.'' Miss Becky asked no question as her Great Chief turned to the door. A moment later the phone rang shrilly. "Oh, Mrs. Harlowe, I am so sorry. He was here but he's just gone out. I did tell him and he just hadn't a second to get round to calling. He was brought back Qn very urgent business and, as it's turned out the matter is even more serious than we feared. I'll take your message . . . Yes indeed. Mrs. Harlowe, I'll keep it perfectly quiet. I'll tell it only to Mr. Kent himself privately at the earliest possible moment." She listened, her face whs all, aghast. "Oh, Mrs. Harlowe, how dreadful that sounds . . . Oh, I am so sorry, yes indeed I will." Five minutes later, having in the interval walked distractedly up and down the room, she wrote down on a pad: "Urgent. Miss Jocelyn Harlowe was not In her bedroom this morning. After repeated summonses FELT SICK AFTER EATING "None of my food agreed with me ? I would frequently taste what I ate, long after my meals, and I did not see a well day for weeks," says Mr. Peter Seeger, 329 S. Elmwood St, Kansas City, Mo. "I began taking a pinch of Black-Draught after each meal, and kept this up for weeks. Gradually the pain left me and I began to feel better.

None of her outer clothes seemed to be missing. There was no message or note of any kind and no explanation has yet been discovered of her absence. She seems to have completely disappeared. No one saw her leave the ' building." This message Miss Becky, crying and blowing her nose, placed in an envelope and sealed. She labeled it, "For Mr. Kent. Urgent. Personal. Private" and propped it conspicuously on his desk. The room where Lynda Sandal sat waiting for. the arrival of Joce. lyn Harlowe's fiance w|as neither comfortable nor luxurious. It was on the contrary incredibly grimy, dingy, depressing and suggestive of down-trodden guilty and hunted lives. Three men were in attendance upon her. They ringed her like a wolf pack and like a wolf pack they snapped and snarled and circled and squatted, wearing her out so that she might drop down unprotestingly to suffer the fleshing of their fangs. Since morning of that April day which was only so short a tale of hours before her wedding hour, she had sat on a hard chair gripping its edge with both her hands, turning her white face from, this tormentor to that, listening to threats that made her blood attack then leap away from her scared heart. She still wore Nick's shabby suit but her collar had been torn open under Rory's grasp. Her tie was lost, her hat had been taken from her and above the crumpled male attire her fine feminine throat and head gave an effect of startling delicacy. There was no i>article of her vivid coloring in this trapped face but the tilted eyes flared, angry and golden, and the lips still went tight when she closed them at the end of each reiterated reply. "I won't.tell you anything." Jock must be given his chance, her will doggedly repeated. This until, after some outside message, her arm had been savagely twisted and she had turned faint. Then, "I won't speak to anyone but Felix Kent," she had conceded. "Why do you keep on torturing me now?" .?* ? ?" * ~ ?age and one of the men's departure and return with the news tnat Kent was on his way, had brought no surcease to the rain of furious question and threat. She had begun to weep. A voice in the room beyond her torture chamber put a question sharply and Jocelyn opened her strange and lovely eyes wide. That was Felix Kent. For the first time they were about to meet. She forgot her attendant inquisitors. She sat up straight, command, ing the cruel bewildered throbbing of her head, and as the door opened she rose slowly to her feet. Felix Kent, staring down at her, turned scarlet and his eyes changed. He drew in his breath, put up one hand, let it fall and mastered his face. He turned to the men. "Here, let me alone with her a moment. I think I've seen the girl before. There's more in this . . . [This is hardly a police matter. I'll expliain. Just let me have her for an instant," his even voice cracked under the force his will had put upon it but smoothed itself immed. w * v We represen Old Fi Casualty Comf Of Established strength and PITI7CyQ IIIQIID1II IUIIILLIVU IllUUIinil a T.

For the lack of certain essential food elements found abudautly in milk and its products, undernourishment and its attendant farreaching ills have become one of the greatest problems tha: health and social welfare agencies have to combat. Therefore, it behooves all organizations, as well as individuals to make provisions wherever possible for the needy and undernourished to have milk?a comparatively cheap but Indispensable food.
