When we found out, about KELLOGG'S ALL -BRAN, several years ago, we knew that at last this was our way to be 'regular'. I've made it a habit to recommend ALL -BRAN to my friends." Why don't you try ALL -BRAN'S "Better Way" to correct the cause of constipation due to lack of the right kind of "bulk" in your diet But remember, ALL -BRAN doesn't work like cathartics. It takes time. Get ALL -BRAN at your grocer's, in two convenient size packages, or ask for the individual serving package at restaurants.

Stephan is unconscious. A sharp- eyed man, whom the doctor iden- tifies as a federal agent, Hilton, accompanies the party. After long Lours of waiting, Deborah hears Hilton talkingto reporters. "He was trapped with information . . fatally wounded." Deborah faints. THE FOG LIFTS CHAPTER XII When Deborah struggled back to consciousness, Bridgie, haggard from her long vigil, was sitting beside her bed. ee "Sure, that's right!" Bridgie applauded as Deborah tried to sit up. "Brace up now, darlint, like the brave girl you are." Yes, Deborah remembered wretchedly, she would need all her dourage. . . . Strange that Brid- gie could smile like that! "Here's Mm. Hilton wantin' a word wid ye," Bridgie was going on cheerfully. "Whilst he's here, Pill fetch a cup o' tea to bring the color intil yer chakes against the doctor laves ye in to see himself." She went out as Mr. Hilton en- tered. "Now that's more like it!" He smiled at Deborah. "You gave me quite a jolt, Miss Lovett. It was a minute or two before it occurred to me that maybe my last few words had given you an unneces- saay shock." "Why — but you're smiling!" Deborah faltered. "Bridgie was smiling. . Do you mean that Sae's not—that he's all right?" 'Well, hardly that yet. I have an idea that the room is still traveling around his head at a handsome clip. But in a few days he'll be ready to whip his weight in wildcats again." "But I—still don't understand," Deborah said helplessly. "Mr. 'Hilton, what did happen last night?" "Plenty, Miss Lovett." He pulled a newspaper from his pocket, began to read: 5 FINE OURED PICTURES I([ BRITAIN'S FIGHTING PLANES AND WARSHIPS On attractive 8" x 10" mounts, each with a description of the War machine portrayed.

ANADA 41 A."1.CH (OM"•"NV• L(M11•UD "A s mall Cape Cod fishing town was the scene last night of an incident which wrote 'Finis' to one of the most fantastic careers of a decade of international plot and counterplot. It was the career of a man identified only as 'Mr. X,' because out of the dozens of names he used, it is impossible to select his real one. "When trapped last night by intelligence, agents with docu- ments involving important United States defense secrets in his pos- session, he committed suicide rather than—" "That's about all, I think." Mr. Hilton folded the paper. "We can't afford to be too circumstan- tial these days. The account doesn't mention, you notice, that one Stephan von Thalmann was anywhere near here last night. The newspapers are co-operating in keeping this affair quiet, so that we will be able to concentrate now on the rest of the organiza- tion." "But," Deborah asked, still helplessly, "what has all that to do with Stephan?" "Nothing—except that he was the lad who recognized `Mr. X,' and with the help of Wilhelm and others, ran his operations to earth. Last night, he learned, 'Mr. X' was to meet another Euro- pean agent here and turn certain papers over to him. Stephan planned to anticipate the meeting, impersonate the second agent him- self, and intercept the papers." "But Stephan was taking a boat out of the Harbor last night. He was—" "Exactly. If for any reason the first plan seemed impracticable, he intended Ieaving the Harbor on a fishing boat which was to take Agent Number Two and the papers out to a small freighter which was waiting to pick him up, and disguised as a member of the crew—he had changed clothes in his ear—to get the papers by any device he could." "Sometimes I think I could make a living picking pockets," Stephan had laughed only las', evening. "But why weren't those melt simply arrested?" "Because the situation had de- veloped so rapidly that von Thal- mann was not sure we should have time to get here after he sent word to us; and he Iacked the proper authority, himself, to make the arrest." "Then he got the papers?" "He got them, very neatly, be- fore the boat left the dock. But then the complications arose. A third agent, who had shadowed Stephen there, jumped him and roughed_ him up pretty badly be- fore we turned up, and stole the papers back again." "He was warned of that. But why," Deborah demanded indig.• nantly, "didn't this Jose Pastia who warned him to do something —and where was Wilhelm?" "Frankly,'''' said Mr, Hilton, "there does seem to have been something sketchy about the blocking of the home team — Iargely, 1 gather, because Mr. von Thalmann got too far ahead of his interference. However, ex- cept far his head, which fortun ately is hard, it worked out for the best, We got Mr. X, with the evidence on his person. Number Two got away, but was picked up later by the Coast Guard, Num- ber Three, the most dangerous, because he was the only one who knew who von Thalmann was, is in a hospital, and twill not live.'' "Where was Wilhelm?" "It was. Wilhelm who finally took care of Number Three. He's on his way to Washington with my partner, to report." * 0 „ "I'm frightened," Deborah shiv- ered. "This man- who followed Stephan here—how much did he know? And how many more are there in the countty who know and hate hila?" "He thinks no more, I hope he is right, because ho is going. to be very valuable to us these next grdnl months. His usefulness abroad itz ended-, .but •cess to sources of infiarizkzo here that we might not touch=* h - out him. ---information that." nay save this country many lives, and millions of dollars in preventing sabotage. Perhaps you've* read about the part our American Czechs played in 'counter -espion- age during the lastwar?" "Yet it means that always, -- for years, perhaps—he will be in danger." "Not always. . Sometimes, yes," the man agreed. "But, you -.see, that is what he wants," "Yes," Deborah said, "I see that. , . But there was a sub- marine—" "If there really was, I doubt if it had anything to do with all this." "And this Pastia --who is he? What—?" "I am afraid," Mr. Hilton saia gravely, "that I have told you all 1 must—and this much only be- cause Stephan thought you ought to know. . I wonder if you, understand that later—for months at a time, perhaps --there will be many things you cannot be told? You will want to ask questions—" "I only want Stephan safe," De- borah protested pitifully. "Yet often his safety may de- pend on your knowing nothing." "I won't ask," Deborah prom- ised herself as much as him. "Oh, I won't ask anything!" "Stout girl!" said Mr, Hilton. * :, :, Then. Dr. Bingham came in .and said, "All right, Deborah. But don't let him talk too much." And she went in' to Stephan. Stephan's face, under the ice- cap, was white, and one eye was completely black and blue; but he managed to gain as Deborah came over to the bed. "How do you like my shiner?" he demanded, cocking the brow over the good eye to make sure his mastery of the American idiom had registered. "I like everything about you"` Deborah said unsteadily. "Oh, darling"—She leaned her cheek against his, to hide the quivering of her lips. In a moment be said, "I shall never forgive myself for dragging you into this," "But I was already in, Stephan. We both knew that from the be- ginning. . . . Look!" Deborah pointed toward the window. "The fog has gone. Just as it has be- tween us. . , . It was the fog that mattered, Stephan." THE END.
