RESURRECTION Chapter V Deserted by all his friends, Eddie set out for the Club Lido to warn Joy os of her danger. Joyce was not at the theatre. Accordingly, Eddie rushed around to her apartment. In th hallway he bumped Into a man yho was just leaving her rooms. It was Chorley, the "corpse". "Aren't you Chorley?" Eddie ask ed, startled. . was,", said Chorley, In an eerie voice. , :- "Tou mess you're really dead?" "Dead,1?, said Chorley, in an un earthly voice. "How do you feel?" asked Eddie, toUcitously. " The light of hia Ufe, the "Dead," said Chorley. But suddenly the "dead man's' frame was shaken with an inner convulsion "Tou're lying!" Eddie exclaimed. "I know you're lying! Dead men don't hiccough!" Chorley, his ruse disclosed, made a pass at Eddie, who ran through the open door into Joyce's apart ment, the "corpse" at his heels. Ed die managed to elude him long enough, hovever, to hide behind the portieres in one of the rooms, just as Joyce, herself, emerged from a bedroom. Hidden from their view, he overheard a startling conversation between Joyce and Chorley. Home Recording "Did you see Eddie Pink!" Chor ley cried out as he rushed into the room, we ve got to Keep mm here." "Who says so?" Joyce demanded. "And for what?" "He knows I'm alive. He's going to weicn on your siot macnine deal." "My deal? What are you talking about?" Chorley's voice carried a sneer. "You wouldn't try to kid your own husband, would you?" It was obvious, however, that de spite her part in the frame-up, Joyce was completely in the dark as to its purpose. More horrifying to Eddie than her complicity, was his newly discovered knowledge that she, the light of his life, the object of all his dreams, was mar ried! He had little time for mel ancholy reflection, however, for now new voices were heard. Vance and his henchmen had entered the room, and were learning from Chor ley what had happened. "Vhere Is he?'' Vance demanded hatkhiy. "He got away." Vance swore. Then obviously to Joyce be said. "Suppose you go into the bedroom and attend to your knitting awhile. I've got busi ness to talk over with the boys." Meanwhile, Eddie's rolling eyes, Iteking a means of escape, centered on an open window that led to a balcony fire-escape. They also took In a large recording machine Joyce's property. Nearby was a pile of blank records, marked plain ly: "Home Recording." - Hastily, Eddie put one of the blank records on the machine, with out however, troubling to remove a phonograph record already on the turntable. He threw on the switch, recording thereby every word the tangsters now uttered. RYLAND Mrs. Roy Parks spent Sunday with her husband at his place of business, the Three Black Cats, near Suffolk, Virginia. ,; m Miss Pauline Byrum, who attended Chowan College, Murf reesboro, is with. hV parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Byrnm, for the summer. a jV' ' 'John Byrum was in Elizabeth City, V' Hertford and Edenton - Monday on " ' business. .

Pink must be rub bed out!" The needle ground away, register ing every, word. , "I stffl think he's human," Vance continued. H can be destroyed. I'm going to do it myself. Let me think a minute." Eddie had all the evidence ' he needed, and it was time for a get away before they discovered . his hiding place. He removed the arm from the recording disc and swung it to one side. Quickly he took the record from the machine, and start ed with it for the open window. He failed to notice, however, that the arm had swung slowly back over the record left on the turntable. A blast of march musks issued from the machine.- : Vance and bis men flung aside ' the portieres. Characteristically, C'opple's first action was to shut off the machine. But Vance, keener of eye and brain, had seen the open window at once. He hunted. out on the fire escape In time to see Eddie making his way hastily to the street He drew, his gun. but the steel work shut off an chances of a bit He returned therefore to the room, where he found Chorley and Copple in a state of wild excite ment " 3, w IK' object of Ms dream. - ' -Look!" Chorley yelled, "The microphone.' "The thing was turned on," Cop ple added excitedly, "to 'Home Re cording." "Yes," said Vance grimly. "And Mr. Pink has a record of everything we said . . A full confession!" Back safely to his office, Eddie made frantic efforts to get the Park police on the telephone. But the phone was answered by Parkya karkus, who had been playing pinochle with the force. "Don't worry, kid," the faith ful guardian said soothingly, "I fix everything." But he had already hung up the phone before uttering these reas suring words, leaving Eddie in a considerable stew. Eddie was still jiggling the receiver frantically when Claribel entered, out of breath. "Eddie," she cried, "You've got to get out of here they're coming! Vance and his gangsters! They're coming to get you!" "No, they're not" said Eddie. "I've got them in the palm of my hand a full confession in Vance's own words." And he showed her the record. Claribel swayed weakly. "Eddie," she said, "yourre a great little guy but you're awful hard on the blood pressure. Will you get out of here please?" And as Eddie hesi tated, she added timidly "For me." Master of Men "For you?" Eddie inquired, a new emotion suddenly surging in his breast "All right," said Claribel, excited ly, "for Ma Carson." "You mean," said Eddie, with rls-, ing hope, "that I'm really forgiven? You and Ma really care what hap pens to me?" "Ma is having a prostration right now," said Claribel Eddie rose to full length. "Go take care of her! I've work to do ; too dangerous for a girl like you!" i His new masterful manner over whelmed Claribel completely, and before she realized it she had been led to the rear door, v "But " she protested. Quiet!" said Eddie firmly. "Ed ward Pink Is not to be foiled in his . moment of victory. Go!" "Take care of yourself." Beaded Caribel, succumbing. But before she left she planted a quick kiss on Eddie's lips. . (To be continued) D. T. Ward. Miss Mary Lee Davis and little Phyllis Rogers visited Mrs. W. H. Boyce Sunday afternoon.

Oh, It Is a Glorious Thing to Be an English Judge London. To be a British judge Is no penny-ante affair so far as clothes are; concerned.
