Even Len ny, the doctor's faithful office nurse, was won over to her canse despite Nance's hard-boiled exterior. CHAPTER IH.?Nance's criminal record outweighed Doctor Burt's clear explanation of her case and she was sent to San Qunntin peni tentiary for two years. Lenny vis ited her and Nance persuaded her to smuggle out a letter which a confederate stole from her handbag outside the prison walls. CHAPTER TV.?Nance escaped, al though shot, by swimming out to a speed-boat manned by friends and went to Lenny's apartment. Lenny told Chief McNamara, who ordered her to bring Nance to his spart ment and phoned for Doctor Burt. CHAPTER V.?One of the men in the boat on which Nance escaped? two of them ex-convict* the other a bootlegger?had been wounded and they went to Burfs office, where McNamara found them.

Detective Sergeants Flynn and Angellotl. seeking the reward offered for Nanoe's appre hension, went to Lanny*s apartment In search of Nance. Looking over her San Quentln cell, McNamara fonnd a blank cheok on a Ssa Jos# bank. CHAPTER VX?From the Sin Jos6 banker McNamara learned that the girl he knew aa Nance Balden wu Penelope Gatlln, heir tea to 1750,000. The banker did not know Penelope's whereabouts. Mrs. Gat lln was now the wife of a man named Merton. McNamara ordered Detectlve Sergeants Flynn and An gellotl to "lay off" Lenny, whom they suspected of harboring Nance. CHAPTER Vn.?When Lanny got home one evening she found Nance sound asleep, curled up on her guest-room bed. Several days later the hardboiled exterior of Nance Belden suddenly vanished and the girl became the refined Penelope Gatlln. Her partially restored mem ory led her to tell Lanny of her wealthy father. Theodore Gatlln, and of her girlhood In France. Following tome diseased on of the report, McNamara dismissed him. and sat down to decide what to do with Nance Belden. That Flynn and Angellotl wert keeping hit house under surveillance he knew now; undoubtedly they would en ter his house at the earliest favor able opportunity. The chief wondered what he would do If he stood In the shoes of hi? two detectives. Td wait for a night when I wouldn't be disturbed for a couple of hours," he decided. "What night would that be? Why. Thursday night, when the board of police commissioners meet and 1 am In attendance there. Stephen will make his usual early evening eall?and as soon as he leaves the house those two will slip Into it The cellar door, of course I'll make II easy for them. TH leave the door on locked. " He concluded that until then, Nance would be safe at Lenny's house. In the meantime, however, he must arrange to get her out of the dty at an early date. The de tectives were both absolutely satis fied Lanny had once given Nance sanctuary for a brief period; trust them, therefore, to keep, an aye on Lenny's house. He had in his office a telephone line that dM not connect with the private exchange ay sum In Am cen tral station, so be called Lanny eh hie phone at Doctor Burfa office now. "Dan speaking; Lanny.

Nance Bel den's personalities were a source of keen professional Inter est to La any, who regretted that for the present Doctor Burt was unable to share her observations with her. She had. as yet had no opportunity for ascertaining any thing regarding the girl's past his tory, but she had a suspicion that Nance had had advantages superior to most girl* Her hands were the very first thing (with the exception of her poor wrecked nose) that Lonny bad noticed.

Thus far Lanny had observed the girl only 1b this showoff phase of her personality. She was amazed, therefore, on coming borne from the office after her conversation with McNemtra, to And her a complete changeling. As she entered the house she caught the odor of cook ing, and going into the kitchen, the discovered Nance, with one of Lenny's kitchen aprons on her, pre paring dinner. "Good evening, Lanny dear," she sainted her hostess. "It occurred to me It most be a very great trial to you. coming home eight after night from the office, tired, and having to prepare dinner for your self. Tm sure you're too tired most of the time to prepare more than a very sketchy meal, and that Isn't good for you." 8he smiled. "So I thought I'd have a nice dinner for . you." "Now, 1 call that real sweet, Nance." "My name isn't Nance, Lanny. It's Penelope." "Penelope what?" "Penelope GatHn. Silly old Lan ny, how could you forget?" "You've placed your finger on my dread secret, Penelope. When Pm tired my memory falls me." Lanny knew that during the day a psychological door had opened and Nance Bel den, otherwise per sonality B, the abnormal, had walked through it and emerged Penelope GatHn, or personality A, tiie normal Alio, she knew now that Penelope Gatlin probably had more or leas amnesia for her for mer personality aa Nance Bel den.

Hal Thurston and his Orchestra will also be one of the feature acts. Quality Of Cotton Seed Reported Bad Indications are that North Caro lina's cotton planting seed for this year is very poor, warns P. H. Kime, plant breeder at the N. C. Agricul tural Experiment Station. Some lots of seed are germinat ing less than 50 per cent, especially in the coastal plain area, according to reports from tests made recently. The damaged seed in the Piedmont area is not quite as bad, Kime says. The poor condition of the seed is due largely to the wet weather last September. Where cotton was open at that time some of the seed rotted and some sprouted in the lock. Con siderable damage also occurred while the damp seed was in storage. Planting seed of low germination results in uneven stands and low yields, he warns, and growers whose seed is bad should arrange to buy good seed of the standard varieties known to do well in this State. Those who have not given their seed the germination test should do so at once, he urges, so that if ne cessary they may be able to get good seed in plenty of time for planting. 50 COMICS IN THE BALTIMORE SUNDAY AMERICAN Something to eheer about!

( Black-Draught For Dizziness, Headache Due To Constipation , 1 **I haw used Thedford's Black- ] Draught several years and find It splendid," writes Mr. O. W. Hol ley, of St Paul, Va. "I take it for dizziness or headache (due to con stipation). X have never found anything better. A Abort while ago, we began giving our children Syrup of Blade-Draught as a laxa tive for colds and little stomach ailments, and have found it very satisfactory."... Millions of pack ages of Thedford's Black-Draught are required to satisfy the demand for this popular, old reliable, purely vegetable laxative. 254 a package, s "Children like the Syrup." Maximum Cotton Reduction Urged Since the Bankhead allotments for 1935 will be only a little larger ; than last year, Charles A. Sheffield, of State College, recommends that all cotton growers sign adjusment contracts and reduce their crop by the maximum amount The Bankhead allotments will ap proximate 65 per cent of the base production, he explained, and any amount sold beyond this percentage will be subject to the tax... The contracts permit a production of 75 per cent of the base acreage, but provide for larger rental pay ments to those who produce only 65 per cent, Sheffield added. Thus, the grower who produces 75 per cent will have to pay tax on the additional 10 per cent and at the' same time he will lose part of the| rental payment which he otherwise would get In the long run, Sheffield pointed; out the grower might loss more in this way than he would gain by the sale of the extra cotton. I However, exact figures cannot be given now, he went on, for they de-1 pend upon the price of cotton next', fall and the yield per acre this year. If a drouth or other handicap should reduce the yield to far below normal, the grower would be better I off with as large an acreage as pos-1 sible, Sheffield said, for -even then he might not produce the full amount of his Bankhead allotment Or if the grower has a number of surplus tax-exemption certificates left over from last year, he may use these to advantage in selling any :otton he may produce in excess of this year's allotment But if the yield in 1985 is any- ! thing like it was in 1934, with prices remaining about the same, indica tions are that the grower will do ? best by limiting his acreage to 65 j per cent of his base, Sheffield stated.
