"If you're going to pry apart that moulding," Colby's voice bit like acid into the silence, "I sug gest you use the jimmy Baron von Ehrenbreit' friend haa so kindly provided. Saves wear and tear on the fingernails." Mears, his heavy features flush- ed, flung the ex-soldier a searching look and then followed his advice. His blue jersied shoulders bunched with effort; once, twice and then a dry crackling noise split the tense stillness- Something clat tered to the floor. ''Gawd! Look! Look! There's a hole!" Colby could see it quite well a square space perhaps six inches by four. He stood inside the cabin door erect as a guardsman with arms negligently folded, but none the less effectively hiding the Colt ready in his right hand. He was experiencing the same sensations as might a person on a swing just before the swing starts its down ward plunge. His hard blue eyes narrowed when Mears' tattooed right hand darted into the hole like a rabbit into its burrow. He groped about an instant and then the huge watchman fell to cursing with such a violence that Colby feared he would become berserk. "It it ain't there!" he raved. "Some son of a buzzard's double crossed us-somebody's been there first!" "What!" Incredulous the man in the gray tunic leaped forward and stared into the aperture. Noth ing was in it. A thought flashed across Col by's mind. What had Geneva Benet, who knew of the existence of the jewels, been doing this last twenty minutes? He stooped, pick ed up the segment of the mould ing it had been but lightly held in place. So it seemed that five men had died for a myth; and he had fought two hard fights for nothing. The treasure was gone! The treasure was gone! GONE! ' Looks like we're out of luck, Mears," he pronounced gloomily, "and the sooner we realize it the NOTICE SERVING SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION NORTH CAROLINA,, HAYWOOD COUNTY. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT. RUTH B.

"You're a smart guy and a nervy one," he drawled, a very puzzled expression on his wind burned features. "And if I hadn't seen that hunk of steel come out myself I wouldn't trust you." "Can the hooey, Mears, and let's get rolling," Colby snapped and slid his Colt smoothly into his coat pocket. Then he caught up one of the lanterns. "Can you get ashore somehow? Dutton and Hartney grabbed the only rowboat" "Oh, I reckon I could get to land by shinning along one of them mooring chains. It'd be easier to swim, but the water is too cold it this time of the year." It was a nervous and rather frightened Geneva Benet they found pacing up and down the deck just outside that landing on which Connolly and Graus lay so patient-1 ly awaiting attention. "Oh thank God you're safe," she cried as she breathlessly clutched Colby's hand. "What s happened?" Colby told her in a few sentences, and as tactfully as he might he broke the bad news concerning the jewelry and the empty cache. To his astonishment she seemed to be badly shaken but not particularly crushed by this shrewd blow of mis fortune. so long as Doth or you are safe I don't care," she burst put passionately. "'All I want to do is to go away from these horrible boats and never, never see them again! They swell of death! Oh, Mears, please hurry and get the police and a boat won't you?" "Sure," Mears nodded but shot the girl a swift questioning look that caught and held Colby's inter est. "Sure, 111 go-" "Thank you." Geneva Benet sank listlessly onto a deadlight. "Oh I I'm so very tired you'll hurry, won t you? ' "What are you going to do?" Mears demanded of Colby. "I'm going back below and talk to the prisoners might learn something." "You'd better hurry, Mears," Geneva Benet said plaintively, "the wind is coming up fast and I don't want to stay on these dread ful ships a minute longer than I have to. 'Oh!" A pale hand flashed up to the collar of hef gray jersey. "What's that?" From far below the faint clamor of voices sounded over the hum of the half gale which now strummed in the bleached Old rigging. "Just Ehrenbreit and a couple of buddies who don't seem to like it down there unreasonable swine. I expect they're playing tag with the rats." "Well, so long. Be back as soon s i can.

(Central Pre$) Life Of Tires Can Be Extended, Ball Tells Club ''If the tires now on your car are good for one year's use, add another year by driving at an average of SO miles an hour, and never exceeding 35 or 40 miles an hour," said G. F. Ball, to RoUr ians here Friday, as he discussed the rubber situation and presented a picture on the manufacture of synthetic rubber. Mr. Ball is a NOTICE NORTH CAROLINA, I HAYWOOD COUNTY.

This the 4th day of August, A. D., 1942. C. H. LEATHERWOOD, Clerk of Superior Court of Hay wood County, North Carolina. Mears' big body swung off through the raw gloom, his powerful head bent into the wind. In silence the two watched him cross the gang way, Swing across the Monticello's deck, disappear "And now?" Colby was oblique ly eyeing his companion. "And now that that's that?" the girl countered, her despairing weariness abruptly vanished. "You've been thinking about the third maiden," Colby stated and looked fixedly over the broad moon silvered Patuxent where the wind chased shimmering catspaws up the channel. "A maiden neither white, nor yellow, nor red." "What makes you think so?" she challenged. "'You didn't fool me with your sob song about wanting to get off these steamers right away." : He sank down beside her. "You see, I'm not such a fool as to think you'd quit now after having gone through so much. That sentence of Vogel's meant something to you. I ve also been thinking a lot about it the last quarter of an hour. You see there's some thing queer about all this busi ness. Why should Ehrenbreit, one of the original partners and know ing the whole story, go to a lot of expense, run a lot of risks and waste all his time on an empty hiding place? "Yes I see but what if the hiding place was discovered when the Kronprinzessin was remodel led?" ''It's possible, but I doubt it Why should a single portion of the moulding be removed and the rest left intact? No, I think something else happened." "What?" "Shouldn't wonder but Vogel double-crossed his pal 'way back in 1914 and rehid the loot just before the ship reached Germany." "Sounds reasonable," Geneva admitted as they paused before the first class salon door. "'But what did he mean by 'neither white, nor red, nor yellow ?" In the watery moonlight Colby s hard lips puned themselves, be came judicious. " 'Maiden' might refer to a mural, to an ornament or, most likely, to a carved nymph or naiad." The girl's small head inclined eagerly. "Yes, I think so, too. Perhaps the colors refer to the wood? : There's redwood trim in the music room and I yes, I'm sure there are some carved fig ures in there. Shall we go and see?" They hurried to that dim dusty room and found but a single pair of nymphs very solidly set into the wall. "No good," grunted Colby. "Be sides, the message said 'the thind maiden'. Any ebony on this ship? We don't want white, yellow or red wood that leaves black, does n't it?" "Of course. How stupid I am," Geneva cried, then burst out. "The trim in the first class bar is ebony Oh! I hope you're right!" Almost running, she flung wide a door opening off the smoking room through which Colby had stalked the dying Connolly. "See? There it is!" Her flash revealed - a ''series of rather badly I proportioned pilasters supporting the bar mirror. At the top these pilasters represented nymphs with very ample breasts. Light as a cat Colby sprang up on the bar and studied the carv ings. "Well?" Breathless was Geneva's crv. "Don't t.iOl me " !

"The second year of additional use can be obtained by keeping tires properly inflated at all times, by never starting: or stopping the car in leaps and bucks, and by rotating all tires, including tit spare, every 2,600 miles or every six months." Mr. Ball covered in detail, the methods by which natural rubber is obtained, and how Japanese ag gression had virtually stopped the importation of this commodity. By the use of a movie, he traced the development of synthetic rub ber by Standard Oil, which has spent twelve millions of its own money in research. Mr. Ball pointed out that many people yet did not believe there was a rubber shortage. The aver age person refuses to believe that he is not going to get some sort of rubber in the near future "But all indications point to the gravity of the situation. There just isn't going to be any rubber pure or synthetic for at least three years or more for purely civilian use in pleasure car driv COLORED BO With Purchase of Q Pkgs.

"Don't worry, Dad, I've been pinching pennies here and there for just such an emergency. There's enough in this old tea kettle to see us through." We in the electric industry must also prepare for emergencies. It is our job to see that you always have electricity . . Y at the flip of a switch. So, we must know where to get electricity in an emergency. That's why we buiid both steam and hydro plants. We also have contracts with other electric companies for the pur chase of electricity, and interconnections over which we can secure electricity should it ever become necessary. When there is plenty of water, most of your power comes from hydro plants. But, if there is a dry spell, we generate more of your power needs by steam. In an emergency we could get power from neighboring companies who have a sur plus available Often, as at present, we have extra elec tricity which we supply to neighbors when they are "In a pinch." This far sighted policy of looking ahead and working together will keep you sup plied with electricity, help win the war, and restore peace.
