CHADWICK LAST WEEK: Mary Larsen tells Jim she is no longer inter- estedin the Sonora, but he re - rases to believe her. The next morning Curly Bates and Jim try to get in the first mate's Rabin of the Sonora but fail. The „Cuban schooner is sighted just - before dusk, and Jim, sensing trouble, decides to go down in a rubber suit at night and then heave before morning. Before he descends, Blacksheep tries to talk se him, but Curly pushes him away. When Jim gets into the cabin, he finds several wooden eases filled with gold bars... He calls to Curly on the phone to lower a line, but the phone is stead. No air is being pumped sllown to him. M 5 A MILLION IN GOLD CHAPTER XII Jini's head reeled. A curious numbness stole through the whole of his strong body. He could feel the water, though, seeping in through his rubber suit be- cause of the falling air pressure. He wondered, in a vague way, ii bred suffocate or drown first. He tried to call Curly on the phone, but his voice was only a thick, weak sound and the buz- zing in the earphones told him nobody was listening. His tongue was a. thick wad in his mouth, his eyes had weights on then, and his nose began to bleed. His lungs felt caving in. This, then, was what the end was like, 240 feet down, It was all pain and horror, then black- ness like this * m t There was something solid un- der him when he came. to. He opened aching eyes and found himself in his cabin, lying on his bunk, with someone sitting silently beside him. He turned his head toward the man. It was the man of the careful voice and the careless money. He grinned, a friendly sort of grin, without malice. "Have a drink, Mallory baby, • and you'll be all right." FINE CUT Located in the picturesque range ranching country West of High River, Alberta, The Stampede Ranch is owned and operated by Guy Weddiok, cowboy, writer, dean of International rodeo pro- ducers, who for many years pro- duced THE STAMPEDE at Calgary. • "T -Hanging -S" Brand OE THE STAMPEDE RANCH .A. bottle was held to Jim's lips. The liquor burned his throat. He lay awhile, then said hoarsely, "So we meet again, Halloran?" "Right! And under different circumstances. This time, old man, I do the talking. My crew has yours covered with guns that will shoot. We had to knock out that black boy and the bald guy and lock them in the fo'- castle. The others didn't want trouble. You're a screwy guy, Mallory, going after a million in gold unarmed. Did you un- derestimate me?" "Not that," Jim said. • He sat up, even though his head spun. "I knew you were tough and smart. You see, I didn't know about the gold." "You didn't? Then Forbes was right. He said you only wanted to salvage the Sonora's non-existent cargo, but I didn't believe it. I thought you had wind of the gold from the girl." "From what girl?" "Hainmond's secretary. She had been dong .a lot of running after you back at Miami Beach." "Did she know about the gold?" "Maybe and maybe • not. think she suspected something. You see, after the Sonora was lost she asked a lot of questions of the Coast Guard. They could not tell her anything, so she wrote to the couple of white men among the crew. But they had been paid a bonus to keep quiet, and they stuck to their story that the Sonora went down in a storm." Jim said: "She wasn't working with you?" Halloran looked surprised. "No, she was trying to find out what happened to the Sonora because of me. You see, she. and I were engaged." Jim swung his legs off the bunk and sat facing the pian. Halloran had an automatic pistol balanced on his right knee. There 'wasn't a chance of jumping him. "Now: tbat yretere tiiklllg over the gold,. I suppose you'll be going heels to hed'." "No," came the slow reply Halloran was frowning now, "I'M a mug, Mallory, Mary Larsen. is a swell kid, straight as they conte. 1—well, I'm a sucker for women. 1 fell for that little Cuban nurse who worried over me in the hospital, and 1 roar - lied her." • He paused, still frowning, then. said; "Look, Mallory, do me a favor. When you see ber again, tell her about the Cuban nurse, will you? She knows I'm alive, and 1 don't want her to go on waiting , . . " tell her, Halloran. I've got a lot to tell her." Jim said, "Yes. But I treated her pretty shabbily. I'll slake it up i3 her. Don't worry about her." "Well, thanks," Halloran said, "And thanks for leading me to the Sonora, I'm going to lock you in here now, and go down after the gold." "Tell Hie one thing, Halloran. Where .did the gold come from?" "The Sonora had a rendezvous at sea with a Nazi blockade run- • ner. 1 was entrusted with the gold consigned for a secret agent in Central America. It was to be used for Fifth Column work, and it probably had been stolen in France or Belgium. Forbes and I,"—Halloran paused to grin —"decided it was our patriotic duty to keep the geld from reach- ing its destination, since it would. be used against American inter- ests, and stake better use of it ourselves. I don't think there'll ever be any claim made on it." Halloran picked up his gun and stood up. "Well, thanks for ev- erything, Mallory baby." "Thank you for not letting me die down below." "Think nothing of it,. old man." Halloran stood there for just a moment, grinning at Jim Mal- lory, and Jim wondered if he should risk jumping the man. It was then that the door to the adjoining cabin opened. • Mary stood there, smiling and lovely and incredibly calm. She had Jim's gut. in her hand. She said, "Hello, Bert". And laughed at the way he started. "Put down that gun, darling, I wouldn't like to shoot you." Halloran's guard was all the way down. Jim took advantage of his brief alarm and jumped. He struck hard, and struck , again, and Halloran simply folded. Jiin reached down and took the gun the man dropped. He went to a port and looked out onto deck. The armed men he saw lounging there on guard were Cubans. That was luck. They would be easily handled. * * a Jim swung back to Mary. "How did you get here?" he asked, seeing how her eyes were laugh- ing. Her voice was pleasant in his ears. "Blacksheep rowed over to the Hammond yacht just before she sailed, to borrow something from the yacht's cook. 1 talked him into bringing Hie to the Aurora and hiding me. After I was here, and you and Curly came up from the Sonora, I stayed hiding because I was afraid—" "Why did you conte?" Jim demanded. "Because," she said, her eyes meeting him levelly, "1'm inter- ested in what you staid to me before you sailed from Miami Beach." "There's a fortune in gold down below. I don't know whe- ther • the courts will give it to me or not. I may be poor as A CROCHETED DRESS FOR BABY Baby's dress is just as dainty as can be.

They turned to Halloran as he groaned. Jim lifted the uncon- scious roan and carried him to the bunk. He said to Mary, "We'll wait until he comes to, then use him as a hostage to get his men off the Aurora, He's a sensible man, . and he'll know when he's licked. We'll set him ashore when we take the gold in." "Of course, Jim." Mary was looking at Halloran with narrow eyes. Jim felt a swift pang of fear. He said: "You were in love with him once. You many not forget him." "I was infatuated with him," Mary said, evenly. "I fell in love with a man named Spike whom I mei; on a tug off Miami Beach. Does that interest you, Mr. Mal- lory?" He gave Halloran a hasty look, saw that he would keep. He thrust. Halloran's gun into his pocket, then took Mary into his arms. He said, "Does this interest you?" And he kissed her on the mouth.

Scope of the regulatiou making it an offence to destroy tires has been broadened to include all scrap rubber, it was announced recently by the Department of Munitions and Supply. The order now, provides that no person shall burn, cut, or destroy "any tire or tube of a passenger car•, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, air- plane or other vehicle, any rub- ber boots, hose, scrap from repair- ing or from making repair mater- ials, buffing scrap from preparing for retreating, retread scrap, fan belts, radiator hose," or other used or discarded rubber products or rubber scrap. An authorized tire dealer must make the best possible use of tires and tubes which can be made fit for further use on the road, must resell those which are in good con- dition, must repair and resell those which can be made safe for operation, but is allowed to sell to another authorized dealer for re- pair and resale a tire which he does not want to repair himself. fall tires or tubes which cannot be sold, or repaired for sale, to a vehicle owner must be disposed of to a salvage collector such as a local branch of the National Salvage committee or sold to a • scrap dealer. Improve Vision With Vitamin A Remember green is the color signal for vitamin A, necessary for good vision among other health factors. Yellow vegetables and fruits such as carrots, squash, apricots and peaches also contain this important vitamin. Leaf lettuce is one, but just a leaf under a salad isn't going to provide the day's requirements. It must be eaten in quantity, in - 'eluding the outer dark leaves which are highest in food value. In buying either leaf or head let- tuce watch for fresh, crisp •tender leaves. Spinach and the wild green "lamb's quarters," are early green vegetables, Cook for the shortest time necessary and with little water. That which clings to the leaves after washing is suf- fietent, Avoid using socia to re- tain colon since it destroys vita- mins A and C, advises Nutrition .Services, Department of Pensions and National Health. Onions add flavour to spring Menne. Use the green tops finely 4hopped in salads. By SAME B.
