THE STORY
CHAPTER L?Theodore Gatiln de
cided to adopt a baby in a final ef
fort to solve bis matrimonial trou
bles. But all bis lore for their fos
ter daughter could not shelter her
childhood from the hatred of his
wife, who had never wanted her.
Their affairs ended in the divorce
court but ten-year-old Penelope was
riven into the keeping of Mrs Gat
fin, except for two Sunday after
noons a month. On their first day
together they set out Joyfully to
a baseball came. A ball, hit into the
bleachers, struck Penelope on the
nose and the neurotic Mrs. Gat
11 n removed her from the hospital
to which bar former husband had
harried her. ' Mrs Gatiln spirited
the child to Europe, Gatiln retired
from business, willed Penelope all
Ms money, and was about to bee in
a search for his dauchter when a
motor accident ended his Ufa
CHAPTER IL?Some ten years la
ter, in San Francisco, Stephen Burt,
a rising youne psychiatrist, was
presented by Dan McNamara, chief
of police, with a new patient?Nance
Belden. a girl whose terrible child
hood had left her with a dual per
sonality. for which her "saddle nose"
was In part responsible McNamara
did not think she was a responsible
criminal and obtained Burt's ex
pert testimony in court. 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. The
bootlegger he let go and he took
the others to his home, ordering the
uninjured one to care for Nance
and his paL From them he learned
that Nance's real name was Pen
elope Gatiln. 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. Tomor

"I did?and it worked out exact

"Good gracious. Well, I'm busy.
Good-by."
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. They were soft, shapely,
small and well kept decidedly not
the hands of a factory glrL While
her vocabulary was a trifle "salty,"
running at times, to the idiom of
the 111 bred and Ignorant her voice
was soft, with well bred Intona
tions. Her clothing, on the occa
sion of her visit to Stephen Burt's
office, had been, In Laimy's Judg
ment in ^lendid taste; rich bnt
not flashy, up to the mode but not
beyond 1L Then, too, Nance had
- a slow, leisurely walk, she knew
how to enter s room, she was sure
of herself at all times without dis
play of assurance.
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.
Lanny had heard Doctor Burt dle
cnaa such ran cases and she
flowed with pride In the knowledge
that at last he had secnred at per
fect aped men.
"I decided we wouldn't have
broiled lamb chops, . Lanny," the
fbi went on brightly, "so I've made
a ragout"

"Well, if aha could have control

reasoned. "And yon must have

"Perfectly.'

The girl stared at her shrewdly.
"How strange that you should ask
that question, lanny. I do h&vt

are the times when I've been nerv
ous and sleepless; sometimes I
think there's something wrong with

me as Nance Belden and to things
I've done and whleh I know very
well I haven't done. And yet It
seems to me sometimes as if I had
?Just a wraith of memory, like an
old dream. But still I'm strong and
healthy."
"But a little given to spells of

Interested in herself to an unusual
degree. "Some days I like to do
things that are perfectly intolerable
to me on other days" She sighed
and turned to Inspect her savory
ragout. "I wish I knew what I
wanted in life and I wish I knew
somebody that wanted me. Of
courts I can pay my way through
life, but It's tsrrlble to be lonely,
Lanny."
"Listen here. Penny, my dear.
Ton aren't the only lonely woman
In this world. Believe it or not, the
first spring buttercup isn't a bit
more welcome in old lady Lannlng's
boose than you are."
The : lost one beamed npon her.
M1 believe that, Lenny. Oh, Lanny,
when I'm happy I'm so happy and
when I'm wretched I'm so wretched."
'Ton think too much about that
nose of yours, my poor child."
The girl's hand flew to that or
gan (automatically. Lanny thought)
as if she would hide it "Isn't it
terrible?" she quavered. "I'm so
ugly nobody can ever love me."
"Quit that" Lanny commanded
in her most ferocious manner. "If
I hadn't found you lovable I
wouldn't have you in my bouse this
minute. I'd turn you over to Flynn
and Angellotl. By the way," she
continued, "how did you get that
sock od the beezer?'
"Father took me to a baseball
game and a long drive flew into the
bleachers and struck me on the
nose. Lanny, yon mustn't "Nuse
slang. It Isn't polite."
"I wrap myself around a high
ball when I'm tired or want <o be
sociable, and I smoke cigar .tes,"
Lanny protested. "I suppose a per
fect lady wouldn't do those things,
either?"
"A perfect lady may without
marring her perfection, old fuss

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.

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. (
