The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1937-11-18, Page 2THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1937 THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE Finally it was 5.30. Mallory put on his hat and a light coat and the chauffeur brought around the ear. "YouTl drive for me, Dick?” The Judge climbed into the chauf­ feur’s seat and they went leisurely downtown. t Attempting Contact Promptly at 9 o’clock Dick pulled the ear up on the side of the square and Mallory walked across to the statue. He walked casually. -Children were roller-skating about the walk. Sweethearts were strolling. Mallory paced up an down awhile before he went over to the base of the statute. He walked around it. He could see no note. He began to hunt about for some word. There was nothing. Back and forth he walked, pacing restlessly. If anybody noticed his perturbation nobody turned a head. Now and then a man approached. Mallcry’s heart would pound. But nothing happened. Finally, at 10 o'clock, he gave it up, went back to the ear and climbed in without a word. Dick started back uptown at a leisurely pace. "Dick, I can’t stand this longer!” Mallory was sobbing ly. "If something den’t happen tonight we’ll call in the police tomorrow. We've tried to keep faith. But there is nothing left.” much open- sure I’d find something before this!’ Then he picked up the sheets of neatly typewritten names and ad­ dresses. They had just come thro’ from Albany* that list of persons in New York owing a 1937 car like Dick’s. “There are 190 names.” Dick threw off his coat and sat down to the 'big library table, pushed lamps nearer to the lists and to big directory. r “Thank >God I bought a new last September! We’d be sunk other­ wise. Karen knows cars too well to be fooled. She’d never have got­ ten in that car if she hadn’t been sure it was mine." They began to work. Ernest, I may be crazy, but I’ll bet my last nickel that whoever owned tlita car will not be listed in the City Directory. He’d be the kind of guy whe’d be sure and get left out.” •'It’s a long shot;” Ernest admit- ed. "I’ll take the Directory, you take the lists.” They worked on, stopping only to drink coffee now and then. But it was after 2 o’clock when they’d weeded out the names.

Dick knew somebody else was in the cab because he did not pay his bill. The man, well dressed, walked on down Twenty- third and went into the house he was watching. Dick had had a good look at his race at his furtive eyes, . which seemed to street so closely. “I’d know him his check and left, of Ernest. Desperately he was ing to decide just what to do. false move and the thing would be finished. Dick drove away until he found a telephone 'booth. He called Ernest’s [ apartment and caught him just fore he was leaving. "Stay there for a little. I’ll right up.” Have you got anything?” “I don’t know.” That was Dick could answer. Just then lhe passed a small gar­ age on Thirty-third- Street, ter inquire. Hopeless he at the office. Dick began his story, age man nodded. "Yes, Ray used to keep his car here, but he’s in Florida, just left.” The suddenness of the thing stun­ ned Dick. Had he been a fool, chas­ ing a phantom all day? I "I wonder where I could reach him? ■ I’d like to write.” The -gar­ age man shook his head. "I don't know. He lived up at t’he El Dorado. Maybe they could tell you, or forward a letter.” Dick had to hold himself to keep from running out of the shop-, He could find no telephone for a couple of blocks.

Their faces told the story. "We can’t wait any longer! We'll call the police!" Mrs. Mallory was desparate now. Dick's face was haggard as he pleaded the ease. "You’ve trusted me this far, trust me a little longer! I know I’m right!" Finally iMallory calmed his wife and Dick left with Mallory’s promis­ es. But when he had gone, Jay and his father sat for a long time talking in the library. “After all, Dad, maybe we should not wait any longer!” Jay’s nerves were worn thin. He had lest faith in Dick, and he said so frankly. "After all, he’s the one who went with that girl to take Karen’s check to the bank! We’ve only got her word and his that he did not see Karen Mvndayt night!” Mallory sat with his face buried in his hands, been oved it a said. "He had the it would be for whole thing! the know!” Jay was frantic he had lost all sense of proportion. Finally Mallory stood up. His shoulders sagged. "No, Jay. We’ll wait!” He had no reason to give for his decision. He could not ex­ plain to- Jay, but Mallory remem­ bered Dick’s eyes that night in the apartment when he said good-bye to Karen. No man could plan such a thing, not when he cared for Kar­ en as Mallory was sure Dick did. "I suppose I’ve got to go out and find Serge! That’s the sillest thing I ever heard cf! You may trust Dick. I supose I do, inside. But why pick on -Serge? He’s been around •every night!” Jay stomped Dick would go he, Jay, must hunting for the Prince.

The Judge went straight to his apartment where Ernest was waiting for ihim. "I’ve got the lists here,” Ernest said when Dick came in and stood staring at him hopelessly. "And I had them send up a City Directory'.” "Good.” Dick ordered a huge pot of coffee and the two men set to work, never thought I could. We’ve to find something to work on night or it will be too late.” Dick sat with 'his head in hands for a moment. "I was "I’m gambling, Ernest, as I! got I to* i I !his so Life A Burden Work A Drudgery Tired All The Time? No Rest Day Or Night? mJ my apartment now.” Ernest was putting on his coat. “But it’s too late to start tonight, we’ll get moving at 7 o’clock, Dick. He turned at the door. -How will he know the right one?” “Sdventli sense! I’ll know, We’ve got to, that’s all!” The Search.

If he did not have something concrete for Mallory they’d call in the police there’d be headlines and then—” Tears stung the man’s eyes and he brushed them aside impatiently. One was a hour, might William C. learned lived in a fine apartment house across from the Ambassador. Dick’s hands trembled as lhe parked and walked over to the hotel en­ trance. A sleepy doorman was on duty. Dick went inside and hesitated. Finally he asked for the Robinson suite. "I’ve just had an accident and I’m trying to identify the car owner. I understand Mr. Robinson owns a convertible coupe, black with a tau top.” The night clerk was evasive. Fin­ ally impressed by Dick’s smile, the said: “If there’s any trouble it must be Mr. Robinson’s chauffeuf. For the family's in Europe. Mr. Robin­ son sailed this morning.” Dick walked out a little'sick. The cool air of the night felt refreshing on his face. Was the clerk telling the truth? He thought so, Dick got out the slip of paper and crossed off the name of Robinson. The next was an address in the Bronx. It turned out to be an apart­ ment house across from the Muni­ cipal Building, respectable, not ex- j pensive. There was no night clerk J on duty, and Dick drove downtown, i He’d tackle the Bronx matter later, [There was a mildness in the air nnw ■ which promised daylight socn. Dick i drove down Fifth Avenue to Thirty- ! fourth Street and turned toward the Hudson. The address was on Twenty­ eighth street. It turned out to be one of the largest apartment houses i in the pity—-a great block of bri-ck j and windows, and silence at this ' hour.1 TWehty-Third street Over the other1 turned house, in to j side of town.

"We can’t be. We can’t be.” But Dick only said that to keep up his courage. An hour they waited, ordering beer after beer. Dick sluffed his into the potted rubber plant back of him. How he hated the place. Peo­ ple kept going in and out of the rooming house. The men were com­ ing home from work. Rickerts did not join them until almost 7. desperate, his chair ually, "What?” The waitress ■ came up and Rickets ordered more beer all round. "No keep your shirt on.” Rickerts’ belied bis calmness. He flipped a snapshot oft the table. "Is this your boy-friend of this morning?” Dick’s hands shook as he picked up the picture. “Yes." "I though so. I’ve got them working, I tell you.

"Not tell you ing. I day." Malloryfs heart sank. “Dick, I’m trying to trust you.” The old man’s voice was desperate. "You- can con-1 fide in me." « ! “But there’s nothing yet.

There are two brands, Choice or red brand, and Good or blue brand. The Choice brand is a special grade which is distinguished*by a red rib­ bon-like mark running through the full length of the carcass, so that when the beef is cup up a section of this red brand appears in every im­ portant cut. The otiher grade, Good is also know as the blue ribbon brand form the fact that the ribbon mark is blue. These quality marks are the guarantees of good beet and save trouble in buying, for the consumer can rely on the quality of tike beef purchased. The following recipes are taken from the bulletin “Beef; How to Choose and Cook It,” which may be obtained free from the Publicity and Extension Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, on application.

The social life there is old, as age in this province is counted, for it dates from the early gold rush of the sixties and much of British Col­ umbia’s history relates to- this re­ gion and the various activities which took place there. Hard upon the heels of the early placer miner and the boom camps they built came the cattle men and the famous Cariboo Road built by the Royal Engineers.
