The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1942-06-11, Page 2It TMrsftay, June 11th, 1942 THE EXETER T1MES-ADVOCATE r • Serial Story All That Glitters ANNE TEDL0CK BROOKS Radio No Melp Once the radio made a reference to Tamar’s kidnapping and Ther­ ese edged closer. Static broke into the announcer’s words and they could hear only a confused mum­ bling. Tamar noticed the clock on the mantel, hut it must have been only a newscast, she decided. She thought that Therese seemed nervous after that, though, anid tried to get other news broadcasts. Therese bound her hands after she was in bed. Tamar tried to go to sleep but tossed and turned as best she could with her hands bound, She realized that it was very lato when she did drop off, and knew nothing more until the sun flooded the room, Therese did not look as though she had slept well, and there was a pile of cigarette stubs in the large tray on the smoker. This morning she was more nervous than last night, and did not make much effort to talk. Her lips had lost their pleasant curve and Ta­ mar realized that she was frighten­ ed. When Louie returned, her bra­ vado would come back, but now, she was only a woman with some­ thing to worry about. Waiting for Louie The morning was unbearably long. Several times Tamar knew that Therese was listening intently and thought that her head was lift­ ed toward the sky. Evidently she was expecting Louie to come back by plane. About noon Therese heated the oven in the wood range in the kitchen and prepared to brown a cooked ham. She worked at it expertly, peeling off the outer skin, rubbing it with brown sugar and spices and pouring pineapple juice about it. She washed potatoes and put them in the oven to bake. Ta­ mar asked her once if she would help, but Therese merely head. set the of the being intercepted? I again or would he well without Would they fly take the risk? During the afternoon a light snow fell and the wind howled down the big chimney.it grew dark early and Therese and Louie played a game of honeymoon bridge. Tamar tried to read, but the words blurred and the pages had a way of not getting themselves turned.' Worried > She hungered for Shadwell and all that it meant to her. She had thought upon her mother’s death that it would never be the same again, but knew now that Shadwell was part Of her and that she would never want to exist without it. But somehow, since the Cricket Hill had been opened and the min­ ing operations begun, Shadwell had been different. She could not analyze it just yet. There was confusion in her thoughts when she remembered the strong features of Christopher Sande. Her heart had never behaved right since his first appearance, and she had known when he spent the week there that most of her thoughts kept returning to him. “You poor darlin’,” crooned Theresa's voice suddenly. “You’re tormenting yourself with these cards. Off*to bed with you!” Tonight Tamar slept with her hands free, but the changed about in the on that first night, still take no chances caping. furniture was main room as Louie could about her es- table and made dinner prepara- incessantly, and to the windows and After 1 o’clock they ’ like some shook her Therese the’ last tions. She smoked kept going looking out. heard the motor of the plane. Ther­ ese ran out of the door and Tamar could see her' waving her arm. She trembled. What would Louie do next? Would he be ready to return her to Shadwell? CHAPTER XXX and Louie. The big man of the cockpit of the plane in an aviator’s uniform, threw herself into his arms From her chair in the cabin, Ta­ mar could see the greeting between Therese got out dressed Therese and Tamar knew that she was cry­ ing. Shock touched her fleetingly. Yesterday she would never have dreamed that Therese was the cling- ing-vine type. Louie swept her to him and Strode towards the cabin. He must be a queer mixture to love Therese so, and be able to harden himself for the kind of crime he had . committed. " Tamar heard the door open his voice: “Got some steaks Louie, sweetie? I’m ‘famished.’’ Therese closed the kitchen door and they continued to talk in low tones. Presently Louie came into the main room and looked at Ta­ mar. “Therese keep you company, Babe?” “Very good company,” Tamar said obligingly, in the same tone that she might have continued the con­ versation by saying: And you? Did you. have a- good trip? She saw the * loSk of a sleepless night about his eyes, and the strain of worry his tightened lips. No Sleep To night Tamar did not sleep at all. She was afraid that some time during all the negotiations of ex- changing^her for ransom, that Ran- ny or her father or some of the State police would try to capture her abductor. And she knew that Louie had the gun he The sun but finally ■and sent a ing the rest of the light snow. Louie prepared to take off in the plane about 7.30. As he went out of the door he looked back briefly and said grimiy: “If your father has1 played square with me, all’s well. But by heaven! * If he hasn’t you’ll never see him again.” Therese came back after the plane had taxied down the make­ shift runway and taken off into the wind. “We’ll soon now.” Therese dressed len'Slack suit and mar. you. memento of our visit.

She bit her lip to keep from asking if he had seen her father or had any message from liim. How would Louie get her back to Shad* jnade. before to get to later, once and pulled out a short “This will help until of the hills.” Start the Journey one was had jacket. get out They Just before they left the cabin, Therese blindfolded Tamar. Much as she hated to submit to it, Tamar knew that not only her own Safe­ ty lay in carrying out their plans, but perhaps the lives of some back home might depend on it. The leather of the car seat cold and Tamar shivered. She not even seen the road upon which Therese had entered the valley but realized that it must be a winding one and that its -entrance was con­ cealed by the cabin. JThey seemed to be climbing at first. And then they dropped down rapidly and Tamar knew that Ther­ ese must be an expert driver. She could feel the sun a-gainst her face through the glass in the window. Therese drove silently. Tamar could not tell anything about the directions. Once they seemed to be going east, but after­ wards they turned and curved in so many different ways that she had no idea where they were head­ ing. They did not stop for perhaps an hour, and Tamar could tell that most of the time oh the straight road they were driving at least 70. The car slowed and Therese leaned over and said: “I’m taking off your blindfold while I get gas. But don’t you try anything, or it will be just too 'bad.” h '■ ■ • .*.....< ■- General and Relief—W* Rarieh, labor, hall, $2.25; Municipal World, supplies, 9.341 G. E.

Member of The Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association HAY COUNCIL The regular monthly meeting of the Council of the Township of Hay was held in the Town Hall, Zurich, on Monday, June 1st, with all mem­ bers present.

He stole a quick glance about the group assembled at the gate. No one accompanied Tamar to the entrance. There was a quick rac­ ing of the motor, the engine roared end the great silver ship was off He caught a glimpse of a white face pressed against a window and the lift slender white hand. She had him then. Checking Airfields Ranny moved out Of the dimin­ ishing throng and went into the ter­ minal building, He had come to check with the men in the control tower the number of transient ships, hoping to find some clue for the plane that carried Tamar away., There pad been a call from Taylor today, telling of a reservation that had been made and the ticket sent out by a .private pilot to an inn. | The FBI man had been check- j ing with the airfields on transients and reservations. He had played a hunch that the kidnapper was us- ( ing his plane to make his contact With Knox Randolph for the ran­ som, and in all likelihood would see that Tamar returned by plane. The record? in the police files showed only three Louies of all those investigated who had private flying licenses. That narrowed the number down considerably. Of course, the man would be using an alias, though, and throw them off the track, The reservation had been made for a Mrs. Arthur James.

My life isn’t so important but I don’t want anything to hap­ pen to anyone at home.” “That’s smart. Because I’m wire Louie how you behaved.” Another Message At a little inn a half hour the blindfold was removed more and Therese waited while an attendant brought hex* a long en­ velope, It contained something more than the yellow telegram. Therese read it quickly and wrote a wire to be sent. “The address i? on it,” she said. Tamar could see the licenses of passing cars indicated that they must be in Georgia. Just where, she could not tell. The sign said Toll Bridge Inn. She printed the appearance of the place on her mind, But, pt course, she realized that a telegram could be sent there without being -extraordinary. They were off again, Therese say­ ing: “I’ll .give you instructions, and, believe "me you’d to the letter.” There was a voice once 'more. . „. of the old bravado and although it seemed pierced with nervous tension, Tamar knew that she had received good news from Louie. She wondered what else had been in the envelope. “Take off the scarf and put on the dark glasses from the glove compartment,” Therese said. Tamar fumbled with the knot and slid the scarf down. Then she gave a swift look about the high­ way, before she opened the com­ partment. The dark glasses were almost as bad as the scarf, she thought, wondering why Therese had not had her use them all along. Airplane Journey Tamar heard the roar of a big- motored transport high above them and dimly she saw through the glasses they were approaching a small town. Then traffic grew thicker and Therese wove expertly in and out of it. ’ Presently the car stopped and Therese said: “You're going to get on that transport. Here’s your re­ servation. You’ll get off at Atlanta. It will be known that you will ar­ rive by plane, so there will be no delay.” She took the reservation out of the envelope and handed it to Tamar. “No one is to know who you are, remember.” VBut won’t I look just a little odd getting on a transport in this costume?” Therese laughed shakily. “No, they’ll think you’re Greta Garbo. Only I prepared for that. You’ll change your jacket and slip into this skirt and leave the slacks right here. We’ll get there just in time for you to get* on the plane before they take off.” Tamar looked about her, seeing only dimly that they were in a se­ cluded spot. Otherwise,_ it might have been easy enough for her to call to someone for help and ^com­ plicate things for Therese. Tamar knew that Louie was wait­ ing until after the plane left be­ fore he gave the word. They had done a lot to make her imprison- ■ment comfortable and it seemed strange they would go to so much trouble.* Was Therese lying to her about it being known that she would arriye in Atlanta by plane? instructions better follow them new note in her It was a mixture A Painful, Pus Filled Boils the Cause of Much Misery If you suffer from boils you know how sick and miserable they made you feel.

They were soon getting into traffic once more, but were Out­ side the city. Tamar, not knowing how long it would take to reach Atlanta, could not think where they were. They turned into the air­ field and she saw a blurred sign on one of the hangars. Tamar was trembling. She want­ ed desperately to slip the glasses down and look at the sign, but she knew that she would be able to see it later, anyway. Furthermore, Louie would not give the word at home that she was on the plane un­ til it had left the field, and he would not have that word unless Therese wired him one thing obey. “We'll And not at all. the hostess and give her your reser­ vation.” Tamar walked to the gate.

Hay CONTROL OF THE CABBAGE MAGGOT The cabbage maggot attacks plants as turnips and which are their eggs on the stems of the plants about the time the European plijm first comes into bloom in the spring. These insects can be controlled by the use of corrosive sublimate, states Alan G. Dustan, Entomologi­ cal Division, Science Service, Do­ minion Department of Agriculture. This material may be^procured at most seed houses and when it is used it should be diluted in water at the rate of one ounce to 10 gal­ lons. As corrosive sublimate loses much of its strength when brought into contact with metals, it should be mixed in and applied from glass ‘or earthenware or wooden vessels. This point is very important. Two or three days after the cab­ bage and cauliflower plants have been set out in the field, the solu­ tion should be poured over the stem and around the base of each plant, using about one-half cupful per plant. Care should be taken to wet the stems thoroughly, as well as the soil immediately surround­ ing the base. Two subsequent ap­ plications should be made, the sec­ ond 7 days after the first and the third 7 days later, treatments in all. It «tant to get the first early, as, the success depends very largely In the case of radishes, the solu­ tion should be poured over the young plants about 3 days after, they ap­ pear above the ground and a sec­ ond application made a week later. Do not treat the radishes when they are nearly ready to use, as the practice is dangerous to the con­ sumer. In view of the fact that corrosive sublimate is a deadly poison to hu­ mans and animals, great care should be exercised in its use. such cabbages, cauliflowers, radishes, The adults, two-winged flies, lay making three is very impor- application on of the control on this point. Sport Fishing from Coast to Coast A TOPSY-TURVY world seems right side up again when viewed by an angler from the bank of a fast-flowing. Canadian stream or from the prow of a oanoe on a tranquil Canadian lake. Nor does any form of recreation pay richer dividends m health at a tune when physical fit­ ness plays so vital a role in war work. Canadians are particularly for­ tunate in the variety of fishing waters at their disposal and wide choice of species they contain, These range from giant Atlantic tuna and the west coast’s fighting Tyee salmon io the scrappy" muscalunge, pickerel, pike, bass, salmon* trout and other fresh water favorites inhabiting Can­ ada’s many inland lakes and streams. The Canadian fishing -picture, is further enhanced by ideal rail and hotel services of the Canadian Pacific Railway, whoso linos take the angler direct to suchrenownodfishing centres as French River, Lake of the Woods, and Western Ontario’s rugged Lake Superior country, whore muskies top the 60-pound mark, Guidos, bait, and tackle are available at larger resorts. Other favored fishing zones include Quebec’s Laurcntians, Gatineau dis­ trict, Eastern Townships, Lake Tem- iskaming and Muskoka Lakes, while Splendid, Salmon and trout catches are chalked up annually in the rivers and lakes ‘of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, West of the prairie provinces, whose northern areas pay rich dividends to the angler, the fishing picture acquires fresh glamor, particularly around Banff and Lake Louise, Alta., where the scrappiest species of Rocky Mountain trout are found.
