Golden Dawn Feter B. Kjrne Copyright by B?0 lyadfott* WHO Bnilua THE STORY CHAPTER. I.?Theodore Gatlir. de aided to adopt a baby la a final ef fort to solve his matrimonial trou bles. But all Ills love for their fos ter daughter could not shelter her childhood from the hatred of bis wife, who had never wanted her. Their affairs ended in the divorce court but ten-year-old Penelope was given into the keeping of lira Gat lin. except for two Sunday after noons a month. On their first' day together they set out Joyfully to a baseball game. A ball, hit into the bleachers, struck Penelope on the nose and the neurotic Mra Gat lln removed her from the hospital to which her former husband bad hurried her. Mrs. Gatlin spirited the child to Europe. Gatlin retired from business, willed Penelope all his money, and was about to begin a search for his daughter when a motor accident ended his life CHAPTER XL?Some ten years la ter, in San Francisco, Stephen Burt, a rising young psychiatrist, was presented by Dan McNamara, chief of police with a new patient?Nance Belden, a girl whose terrible ohild 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 Dan ny, the doctor's faithful office nurse, was won over to her cause despite Nance's hard-boiled exterior. CHAPTER III.?Nance's criminal record outweighed Doctor Burt'e clear explanation of her case and she was sent to San Quentin peni tentiary for two yeara Lenny vis ited her and Nance persuaded her to smuggle out a letter which a confederate stole from her hand bay utside the prison walla CHAPTER IV.?Since escaped, al though shot, by sw.mming 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 apart ment and phoned for Doctor Burt CHAPTER V.?One of the men in the boat on which Nance escaped? two of them ex-convlcta the other a bootlegger?had been wounded and they went to Burt's 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 bis pal. FVom them he learned that Nance's real name was Pen elope Gatlin. Detective Sergeants Flynn and Angelloti, seeking the reward offered for Nance's appre hension, went to Lanny's apartment in search of Nance. Looking over her San Quentin cell, McNamara found a blank check on a San Jose bank. CHAPTER VI.?From the San Jose banker McNamara learned that the girl he knew as Nance Belden was Penelope Gatlin, heiress to $750,000. The banker did not know Penelope's whereabouts. Mra Gat lin was now the wife of a man named Merton. McNamara ordered Detective Sergeants Flynn and An gelloti to "lay off" Lanny, whom they suspected of harboring Nance. CHAPTER VII.?When L^tnny 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 Gatlin. Her partially restored mem ory led her to tell Lanny of her wealthy father, Theodore Gatlin, and of her girlhood in France. CHAPTER VII! fi'TpHANK you, air," said Nance 1. politely and with quiet dig nity. "You are most kind to take this trouble for a stranger, and I shall never forget It." And she held out her hand. McNamara looked in puzzlement at Lanny. "What's happened to her?" he demanded. "I'll explain to you some time, lou're a brilliant chief of police and you've flgu-ed everything out to a gnat's eyebrow for Penelope, but what's going to happen to me?" "The concoction of the plan I've I just outlined has given me brain J fag, Lanny. It's cost me a night's j sleep. I don't know what's going I to happen to you and I don't care much. lou're a smart woman, and if you can't figure a way out of your end of the mess don't call on me for help." "I wish I could reiisn tnat com pliment," Lanny retorted dryly. "However, If yoc think I'm not go ing to laugh myself sick over this you're a poor judge, of women. Good by, you old crook, and God bless you. Kiss him, Penelope." ? becoming modesty caused the girl to hesitate just a little, then she came to the chief and implant ed a most lady-like kiss on his blue Jowl. "You're very kind? Mr. Mc Namara," she assured him again. "Gripes," he muttered and went oft Dan McNamara's estimate of the ability of Detective Sergeants Flynn and Angelloti did them no injustice; indeed, they proved even smarter than their chief credited them with being, after watching Doctor Burt enter and leave the chiefs house on Thursday night, when they knew the chief would not be home until midnight, they decided to investi gate. The unlocked cellar door gave them pause; Flynn whispered i that he was always suspicious of things that came too easy. They crept upstairs and found Dan Mc Namara's ex-convict guest reading in bed. Both detectives recognized him, so while angelloti guarded him Flynn made a hurried but thorough search of the premises. Tbey were not in the house more than five min utes. "We've been like two pups, chas ing our talis," angelloti complained when they met at their car. "The chiefs up to his old tricks, baby ing a convict with the con, and that's the bird Doctor Burt is call ing to treat" "The girl's been there, just the same, Amadeo, my boy. There was s lipstick on the bureau and thafa something old lady McNamara don't use. and I found. a roil of adhe sive tape, the heel of a roll of ban dage and % soiled sheet with some bloodstains on it in the dlr^wothes "She might have doubled back to that old nurss's bouse again, but I doubt that, because she knows that is risky." "Weil, let's (Ire Miss Lannlng's bouse a prowl, anyhow." Flynn was one of those hearty fellows who will try anything twice, so they went Immediately to Lenny's house. The lights In front were out when they arrived,, so Flynn pussy-footed around to the rear of the cottage to see If any lights were lighted there. Finding none, he lis tened for possible voices Hearing none, he cautiously lifted the lid off Lanny's garbage can and bent his flashlight on It. He was re warded for his courage by finding a I itained bandage with clipped adhe sive tape clinging to It This tell tale evidence he carried around to Angelloti; they entered their car.' drove a block and Inspected the clue In the light of the dash lamp. Then they silently ahook hands. "Nothing Is ever lost If you know where It is," Flynn rejoiced. "We'll bone 'he district attorney for s search warrant tomorrow, and to morrow night when the old lady gets home, we'll make the pinch." "Shall we pinch her as an acces sory?" "Amadeo. my boy, unless you're looking hard for something, It's s mistake to see too much or know too much. This Lannlng woman Is a friend or the chiefs As far as the public ever need know we picked the girl up on the street." Angelloti nodded his acqui escence; they got the search war rant on the strength of that soiled bandage, and at nine o'clock that night arrived In their car. Flynn went to the back door and posted himself there; and Angelloti rang the front doorbelL A light was switched on In the hall presently, and Lanny, dressed for the street opened the door six Inches. Angel loti had his foot in it in a flash. "Detective Sergeant Angelloti of the central station. Miss Lanning. I have here a search warrant, giv ing me legal right to search your house and secure the person of Nance Belden, an escaped convict from San Quentin penitentiary Bead it an* weep 1" "You take your big flat foot out of my door and stay outside until I've read this purported search war rant or Fll shoot your foot off," Lanny informed him coldly. Angel loti withdrew his foot promptly. Lanny closed the door, and he could see her faintly through the cur tained glass, reading. "Come In," she invited?and at that moment the electric llghUbulb tossed out of the upper window by Nance exploded with a loud report. 1 "What's That?" Angsllotl Crlod, Instantly^Alert. "Whafs that?" AngellotI cried, bl atantly alert A still louder explo sion reverberated In the back yard; then the voice of Flynn crying: ."Hey. sjpjv orl^l shoot" (To Be Continued) NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in that certain Mortgage executed by Mrs. W.

Needed by Plants t Experts Say Your Crops Re- i quire Rarer Elements Just as i Children and Stock Demand . Vitamins * ? , As a result of incessant experi- | ment over the past several years, j soil scientists and others interested j in better Crops for Southern farmers, are pointing out today that crops are just as needful of a completely balanced ration as children. It has long been known that a i plant is unable to make healthy i growth on nitrogen alone. There i must be potash. There must Be ; phosphate. Now it is being shown by the authorities that these three < factors, considered all-important in the past, must be supplemented by a large number of the rarer elements? the so-called impurities such as iodine, calcium, magnesium, stront ium, boron, lithium, sodium and many others. Emphasizing the importance of the impurities, the well-known pub lication Scientific American, which deals with scientific discoveries and advancements, declared, "a pure food II -'???HI ind drug act for plants would be a leath warrant to all living crea ures." Chilean Nitrate of Soda ad vertising which appears regularly in his newspaper, dwells upon the vital mpurities which, because of Its na ."ural origin, this old original soda rontains. The importance of these impurities, in the growth and devel opment of plants, is compared with hat of the various vitamins in the growth and development of people and animals.

PERUVIAN 1 SEABIRDI FERTILIZERS J FOR All I > CROPs I ?f535TJ6o5a5d THE FAMOUS ^ PERUVIAN Seabird FERTILIZERS I VfTN THE W6 RED SEABIRD ON EVERY BA6 NITRATE OF SODA FERTILIZER MATERIALS OF ALL KINDS For Solo By GEORGE M. SHIRLEY At Knott's Warehouse, Farmville, N. C. j [o5rt passl 35% MORE p/a?7^ , * s The biggest and best news you will find in the inw fertilizer price lists is the very small difference in cost >>?tween a low-potash fertilizer and a fertilizer well-bal anced with plenty of NV POTASH. For example, compare 3-S-3 fertilizer with 3-8-8 fertilizer. The 3-8-8 contains 35% more actual plant food, yet it costs you very Utile more than die 3-8-3. Figured in terms of an acre, the extra cost is so smaU it will surprise you. Ask your Fertiliser ManI 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER has proven its value throughout the entire bright tobacco belt. Many leading farmers in this section use 3-8-8 or increase the potash in their regular fertilizer to 8% or even more by using extra applications of potash. The U. S. Department of Agriculture and the North#Carolina State OoUege of Agriculture recommend t? fertilizer containing 6 to 10% potash for bright tobacco. Chemical analysis of high-quality tobacco plants proves that a 1,000-pound, crop contains mora than three times as much potash as 800 pounds of 3%-potash fer tilizer contains. Fertilizer containing too much nitrogen pro ducer rough, bony tobacco. Avoid this by selecting a fer tilizer mixture in which the nitrogen has been well-balanced with plenty of potash. 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER gives best results with closer rows, closer spacing, ridge cultivation and late topping. Set more plants per acre and top after about half the crop is gathered. 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER holds the tobacco on the hill after it matures, without burning, producing a thin, grainy leaf with "high-dollar"quality. Remember that 800 pounds of 3-8-8 usuai.y costs less than 1,000 pounds of 3-8-3, yet 800 pound* of 3-8-8 contains more actual plant food and is a much better balanced fertilizer. Ask your Fertilizer ManI Plan now to produce a thin leaf on the bright side. Use the best cultural methods, correct spacing, high topping and the proper amounts of 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER. ^The extra potash in this fertilizer adds the extra quality that brings more on the floor.
