Udd, tnat ne snouia jeen these same decks rasped scarred by the hobnails of Imcan doughboys. jnow tne Inks were warped and weather- and lengths of hose laid out protection against fire crawled irywhere like pale serpents of impossible length. 'The Kaiser Wilhelm and the Kronprinsessin Cecelie rechristened Mdnticello and Mount Vernon served as U. S. army transports m ii7-isia. "That yerl sounded like maybe H came from forrad," Dutton whis pered, so they cautiously made their way up the broad deserted deck toward the Mount Vernon's bow. "Look out!" screamed inner voices in Colby's brain. "There's danger here " 1 Bitterly the ex-soldier cursed that muffling fog while scanning every shadow, every corner of the palm garden through which they passed. A definitely nerve rack ing business, that of stalking an unknow menace through the dark. It was therefore not the least sur prising that Colby halted as though paralyzed when a voice from the shadows snapped, "Put 'em up!" Grown wise with the passage of turbulent years, Donald Colby knew better than to try for a "Smith & Wesson show-down." He obeyed immediately. Dutton, how ever, uttered a nervous little cry. "Hey, lay off, Ike this guy is the new watchman." "What!" Impressively incredu lous was he among the shadows. "Where? How?" "Yeh put that damn gun away." "Stand still," snapped the man called Ike "I ain't trusting you Dutton you walk too blamed quiet to suit me." "What're you aoin' on the Ver non?" countered the swarthy man at 'Colby's side. "You're supposed to be on the America." "Heard them shots Seen the Copper anywheres?" "No. We was lookin' for him our selves. ' "Was you'" Colby was puzzled at the stranger's manifestly sus picious tone., "Yes. Come'on out this is Colby meet Ike Mears." From the gloom beneath a ladder stair leading to the boat deck ap peared one of the largest men Colby naa seen in some time. A service belt was weighting his right hand as he materialized out of the sil very mist and same swinging over the warped and spotted deck, "Howdy," he said shortly. "You hear them shots just now?" "Of course," came Colby's eJLrUJ ti CM CJJ prompt reply. "That's why we're nere. ' "Oh, yeah?" "Believe it or not. All I give a damn about is earning forty a month and doing my job," At that moment the moon came nearer to piercing the clouds and so revealed to Colby a shrewed and not unhandsome feace which was marred by a broken nose. Massive shoulders were outlined in an out-at-elbows seaman's jersey bearing the words "Mount Vernon" done in broken and stained white flannel. "Reckon I'm right glad to have you here," he suddenly said to Colby. "We need somebody with nerve on these here relics." Here; Colby was telling himself, was a positive character; Mears would certainly have to be reckoned with whether good or bad. Aloud he said, "How about that yell ? Who could have been hurt?" "Dunno, so we might as well get rolling. Has he got a light Hank?" "No," Dutton said, "and he can't have mine I'm going on , to the Washington to locate Norton " And he shuffled hurriedly away, Mears grunted and switched his light into Colby's face. "What's your racket. Mister? You ain'tj no oysterman " i m a man who s just found a new job, that all." "You lead the way," Colby drily suggested when Mears stepped aside at the head of a ladder lead ing to B deck. "What's the matter afraid ?" Came the big man's sharp query. He gave the impression of trying to come to a decision concerning his companion. "No. Only I don't know the shin!" "You're not so dumb Well, don't make no sudden motion that's all. We'll begin with B deck shot sounded like it was down there somewheres." Switching on a powerful flash light the watchman trained it on doorway above which remained affixed a small bronze plaque read ing "Schreibzimmer." Something like an electric current set Colby finger tips to buzzing when a teak wood door bound in sadly verdi grised brass swung inward and cnui, sour-smeiiing stream oi air poured out. Colby waited until the big watchman proceeded some thirty feet into a vast dim room and only then did he follow with right hand negligently dropped into a sagging side pocket, &ucti an interval then he was musing served as a double precau tion, it ought to minimize the chances of a single bullet cutting down both of them and conversely increased the advantage of his own capable marksmanship.

The seven tiny flags of the Rising Sun of Japan represent the number of Nip planes sent plummeting earthward by Lieut. E. Scott McCuakey, shown in his plane at Hawaii. Ensign George Henry Gay (left) is the official score keeper. Pilots of the McCuskey type, have made It possible for the United States to gain control of the air in recent battles. (Central Pre$$) can kill at point blank- range. Like a luminous finger, Mears' flashlight briefly touched another plate which said, "Rauchzimmer" and then lit a series of handsomely carved and panelled walls, and fil tered over heavy frescoes and win dows of stained glass ornate with all the deplorable taste of a pre-war German decorator. Even now a faint odor of tobacco still persisted. Hollowly, footsteps of the pair sounded in the first class lounge when they tiptoed by a huge fire place above which a lavish rococo mantel of solid mahogany threw back gleams of tarnish gold leaf and a series of voluptuous bosomed nymphs smiled woodenly down. Colby's nerves grew gradually tauter, though he cursed himself for an over-imaginative idiot. How very dark it wast' How many cor ners might conceal a crouching marksman. "Seems like there ain't nothing in here," Mears called in a hoarse whisper. "Hey! What's wrong?" Colby had halted beside a long linen covered settee and with head thrown back was sniffing the air. Slowly he sank onto his knees at the same time beckoning his compan ion. "Smell it" he breathed when the other, all suspicious, knelt down beside him. "What the devil are you talkin about?" Mears tensely demanded. "We'd better be careful. I'm sure I smell fresh blood somewhere " Colby explained. "Comes from there" With his pistol he indi cated a doorway leading into a passage, "Listen" The big watchman grew rigid and his eyes sought Ratcliff Cove News A birthday party was given at the home of Mrs. Mark Galloway in honor of Miss Marzell Webb on June 30.

L. C. Stevens preached Sun day at Elizabeth Chapel. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Webb, of Greensboro, spent the week-end Colby's narrowed ones. "Kill that light" Holding his breath Colby heard a faint scratching sound as of some animal stealthily advancing faint er still was the noise of something breathing and sniffing a little. While they listened Donald Colby discovered he had new things to learn about fear. Normally he wouldn't have minded such a situa tion but here in the confined inter ior of this vast mouldering hulk "What is it?" came Mears' ghost of a whisper. Yea bo but that fel low Was cool! Too cool. Why? Colby very much wanted to know. "Don't know come on. Keep your flash ready." (To be Continued) Travel In Park Drops 40 Percent More People From Ohio Enter Park Than Visitors From North Carolina In June. Travel in the park for June was 40 per cent under last year, ac cording to the actual count sur vey, according to J. Ross akin, superintendent. The total showed 101,674 people in 31,373 vehicles entered the park in June. The visitors were from 42 states and the District of Col lumbia, Hawaii and England.' An interesting fact about the June survey, was that more people from Ohio entered the park than from North Carolina. There were 3,359 Ohio cars as compared with ,996 from the Tar Heel State. The Ohio cars carried 10,111 pas sengers while the North Carolina cars had 10,009. Illinois was next to N0rth Carolina with 7,894 peo ple. Tennessee led all states with 47,552 visitors.
