Sell Their Clothes
The city was in the grip of
terror. There had been an epi -
donde Of disappearances and all
the victims were men. Young
;nen, old men, rich men, poor
men, one by one they vanished
without trace. Soon the total
reached fifty.
Not a shred of evidence re-
Snained to show where they had
gone. A farmer vanished on his
way to market, a policeman, on
eluty and in uniform, simply dis-
appeared.
The pollee were baffled. Then
one day a man went to look
over a vacant ground -floor flat,
While he examined the rooms,
his dog, Toto, trotted off into
the kitchen. In a little while
".Coto began to bark furiously,
The man took no notice. Sud-
denly the dog came tearing back
and tugged at his master's trou.

followed hits into the kitchen,

sniffing hard. Then he came back
to his master and barked frenz-
iedly, Clearly the dog bad scent-
ed something,
The landlord of the flat carne
along and, after watching the
clog, the two men prised up some
of the floor -boards, The clog
leaped down in to the space and
began to ,lig.
After a while he looked up,
barked once, frantically, and
scrambled up out Of the hole.
The men looked down into the
hole, staring aghast at the hu.
man face which had been uncov-
ered,
The police arrived and took up
the floor. in the earth beneath
they found the bodies of six men.
all in their underclothes, All
of them had been murdered, ap-
parently by an axe wielded with
colossal strength. The hunt was
on for previous tenants of the
house.
The police soon discovered that
one previous tenant had been a
dim-witted giant named Vasile.
Besides his huge size he had
another distinction - his grand-
father and three other relatives
had all been executed for mur-
der!
Vasile, a mechanic, had never
been in trouble with the police.
Perhaps it was his wife's influ-
ence, but during her lifetime
there was never anything against
him.
After her death in the 1920's,
there was a change. He took up
with Elena, a wolnan as petite
and dainty and he was huge.
end slow,
About this time Vasile's father
had suddenly disappeared. The '
old man had seemed to be in
good health and spirits, and he
had no apparent reason to com-
mit suicide. His body had not
been found.
After the gruesome discovery
in the empty flat the police were
at last able to swing into ac-
tion. Their inquiries led them to
A little loan, a schoolteacher, who
claimed to have had a narrow
escape from death in the murder
flat.
How did he come to be there?
He said that at the railway sta-
tion he had mat a very attractive
woman who invited him to spend
the evening at her flat, She said
she was a widow and he went
with her.
The first shock he got was
when he noticed a man's clothing
in her flat. Evidently she had
not yet disposed of her late hus-
band's clothes, and, judging by
thein' size, they must have been
made for a giant.
The second shock followed
closely an the first. As they stood
together in the flat there was
n tramp of heavy feet and the
door was flung open to reveal

tidal wave, Skip
a mountain of a man. grasping
a cleaver,
Trembling, the little teacher
shrank away Irons him, Fran-
tically he looked about him for
escape.
With a grim smile the giant
contemplated his terror. Then,
raising the hatchet he rubbed a
huge thumb on its shining edge,
"Ha!" he rumbled, moving for-
ward, "Is this all you. could bring
me for supper to -night?"
With a terrified squeak, the
teacher dodged a great swing of
the cleaver and ,lived between
the giant's legs. He flung him-
self through a doorway, leaped
down a flight of steps and, gal-
vanized to frenzy by the sounds
of ponderous pursuit, bolted into
the darkness.
The little man, only too thank-
ful for his escape, and ashamed
to confess his lapse, told nobody.
But the giant and his com-
panion were not to know that,
and speedily decamped from
their lodgings.
The pair split up, but now the
police had something to work
on, and one day a strong force
of officers surprised the giant,
Vasile went with them with-
out a struggle. He was taken
back to the flat and made to
view the six bodies.
He said that Elena had lured
all six to the flat. Ibis usual pro-
cedure had been to get them
drunk, bash them on the head
and then strip and rob them be-
fore burying the bodies. The
clothing he had sold to a rag
and bone merchant.
Elena was eventually picked
up in Bucharest. In the meantime
detectives called on the rag and
bone merchant who revealed
that Vasile had sold hila, not
six, but about fifty men's suits,
The police went to work on
Vasile again, but he was silent
until they allowed him to catch
a glimpse of Elena in custody.
Then he began to talk again, and
as a result nine more bodies
were found.
He went on to tell even more,
and the police, directed to a
lonely spot in the woods outside
the city, dug up another eight
bodies, including that of Vasile's
father.
So far, about half of the miss-
ing men had been accounted for,
The police went back to Vasile.
He eyed them in his slow way
and pulled at his moustache. 'Yea,
he admitted, he had forgotten to
tell them of the biggest grave
01 all.
It was somewhere out in the
woods beyond the city but he

had forgotten the name of the
place, Oh yes, he could certain-
ly take them to it!
Tight-lipped and grim, the
police began to dig in the lonely
spot he indicated, Linked to an
officer by' only a light chain,
Vasile looked on.
Suddenly, with a titanic ef-
fort, he snapped the chain and
smashed his manacled hands in-
to his guard's face. Then he
bounded away. An officer raced
after him, firing shot after shot,
but the giant, dodging among the
shadows, remained unhurt.
The officer came to a gasp-
ing halt; he had lost his quarry.
Mystified, he stared about him,
striving to hear the direction of
flight.
Where had the giant gone? He
soon found out. A huge figure
suddenly rose up behind him
and in an instant he was fight-
ing for his life.
A terrific blow hurled him in-
to a ditch, then the giant was on
top of him, beating at his head
with his iron -bound fists. Bleed-
ing and badly injured, the officer
still struggled but now he was
nearly unconscious.
Guided by the giant's roars, a
comrade came panting on to the
Beene. Quickly the officer placed
his gun against the huge head
and pulled the trigger. There was
.g flash and Veslle the Rumanian
giant was acad.
How Can 1?
by Roberta Lee
Q. Row eau I defrost frozen
foods in about half the usual
time.?
A. Try standing them in front
of an electric fan.
Q. How can I prevent olive oil
from becoming rancid?
A. Add two lumps of sugar to
