Y. Slinn was insured by the •Protec- tive Life Insurance companl, and his beneficiary is a man named B: B. Twombley who lives in Troy. The company's Albany agent, Car- ' lin, identifies the body, and the insurance money is paid to Twombley. But Jerry Glidden, suspecting that Slinn was murder- ed, has gone to Ironburg, a little • mining town in Pennsylvania, to . see an "Angela Slinn." She turns out to be an ugly recluse of a wo- man who lives in a shack near the abandoned "Break O'Day" ir- on mine. She denies knowing Joseph Slinn. Rose Walker, granddaughter of the owner of the mine, runs the local store and post office. When a man regis- ters at the hotel as B. 13. Twomb- ley, of Portland, Maine, Jerry ' wires Troy and learns that Twombley has moved to Maine: He has alreaiy seen Twombley with Rose Walker, and again at Angela Slinn's shack, so Jerry is not surprised to discover that he is trying to buy the "Break O'Day" 'mine. Jerry goes to the mine to get a sample of ore, and while he is there, something is thrown in- ' to •the water. Learning that an expert can judge the value of the iiron. is vacationing near Pitts- burgh, Jerry goes there.. 'When the expert tells him the iron is good, he wires Rose not to sell and starts back to Ironburg., . An express for Philadelphia left within half an hour. "Every Pullman seat's' sold, boss." "I'm glad I look as if I wanted one, but I don't," Jerry wanted the front place in the first coach -it `'R('as nearer Americus. That coach was a smoker, and he got what he desired. To the western wall of the Al- leghenies and all the way up the eights of 'them, his fear was that Rose might not receive his message in time, or that, promptly receiving it, she might not heed it. Once she had' mistrusted him -why not again? He wished he had made his message more explicit. She had capriciously limited his ab- sence to twelve hours, and he would have been• gone at least thirty-six. He wished .he had told her the whole truth! Suppose he could at last convince Lightner? Suppose. every suspicion proved to the hilt by an investigation started from New York? Jerry's job would be safe. Promotion, even. But Rose Walker's ore mine? A new un- ease appeared and overshadowed its predecessor. It' was vague. But it persevered.• He 'began to fear for the girl's, personal safety ..• . . • Should he telegraph again? •From �s. v Cl•7 o.r sprang into its . "Hello--,liello-hello! '• What's the - oh, hello! Give me Ironburg-" "What?" 1l "Ar� right, then! Mt, Joy 61." The wire buzzed. The • wire sang. But nobody replied. "Central -CENTRAL!" ""Hello." "I thought you were getting me-" • "Mt. Joy 61 don't answer." -"Ring again." "No ,'ans-" "Hello!" Another voice had spok- en. It sounded like a man's - lire Hassler's. "Hello! Mt. Joy 61?" "Yes. I wasn't sure you ranged at first . . "I want to talk to Mi,s. Walker." "Rosie ain't here." "Well, who's this?" "Hassler. 1 sought that was the 'phone what ranged, but-" "Never mind. I-" Mr. Hassler did mind, however. He recognized the tones of his interlocu- tor and was garrulously glad. He in- sisted on explaining that he had not suspected Jerry of "jumpin' his -board bill," since Miss Rose had brought word of his • hurried journey to parts unknown and the projected • and speedy return therefrom. Glad. All the more glad to have this call and know that return Was imminent, be- cause the Hotel was temporarily guestless. Mr. Twombley' having al- so, this day, been called away on some short business trip . . . "Well," Jerry cut in, "I'll be back by bedtime, anyway. Now I want Miss Walker. Where is she?" She wasn't obtainable. "A tramp brought her a note sayin'.how Angie Slinn was sick ag'in up to her blace an': would Rosie come, blease. She ast me to tend store ler . her, Rosie did. She said she'd be pack in an hour. But you know these ,here vom- enfolk. It's a good two hours now, an' she ' ain't-" Jerry dropped the receiver. Twomb- ley "called away" from Ironburg! Rose summoned to that lbnely shan- ty near Break O'Day Iron. cliff! Jupiter's horn' hooted. "First to the telegraph office," said Glidden, It was less than a hundred' yards away, but the girl clerk started a fresh piece of chewing gura before she answered his query as to whether she had transmitted a Pittsburgh .telegram to•MisS Rose Wacker at the Ironburg general store. "We ain't allowed to tell them things?' "Look here: I can prove I was the sender by giving you the message word for word." Jerry did.,, "Now, here's a five spot." It►'was his last, and the car would somehow hs,ve to be paid for; but he flung the bill ovs er the counter into her lap. Save for Jerry and the girl, the office was empty. The bill looked large. "Oh, • well," said- she, "I don't care. Yes, I sent it. You • needn't worry none -I know those folks out at Iron- tturg. It was that part-time clerk of Miss Walker's =that Slinn woman out Jerry dragged the body ashore. Sic lifted the bonnet. Harrisburg? .• Circumstances decided, and in the. negative. That Philadelphia, express was late in arriving at the state capi- tal. There was barely time to catch the generally connecting accommoda- tion train. Highspire . Bainbridge . They stopped at every station, Jer- ry was sure he had never travelled so slowly! Twenty minutes late . . Thirty . . "Marietta! ,.Next stop of this train ,i Americus." Long ago, the motorbus would have left for Ironburg. Jerry looked over the crowd of loungers that placidly welcomed the train. On their `but - skirts he recognized an acquaintance of the other -night: Constable Camp- bell. "Can I get a car?" "Trolley?{ -Where fib?" "Automobile." The officer of the law considered. '"You might try the Hotel Americus. Jupe Jones has got one he keeps these, (Slid be hauls passengers when he ain't busy. He's headwaiter." Jerry found Jupiter. Jupiter would be "ready in five minutes," "That mane ten," said Jerry. He was fidgeting in the hotel's groithit floor :hail. Hie rest1edd g%rico ottdolintered a teieplioUis battle 1d there -who I talked to." •Jerry reached the curb in a. single bound: "Ironburg! ' By the shortest road there is.. By the highest speed you've got!" "That's the Bruner's Creek way, and the road's rotten." "Never mind. Take it anyhow!" Jupiter was a long, lean youth whose ,lantern •jaw bespoke a serious- ness beyond his years.‘ "This yhere mayn't be much of a chariot, mister, but she's all - the bolls -Royce I got -an' of she gats busted, I am." Jerry tried to speak again -to urge -to tlfreaten. . His voice refused obedience. His tips twitched. He inarticu- uttered a sound, but it was - late. "Are the cops after you?" whisper- ed Jupiter. "State police?" Here was help! Jerry's manner had unconsciously struck the one chord to which the inner confratern- ity of public. chauffeurs always and ever$ZVhere responds. He looked squarely into that sitd,: den sjnmpathetie brown face. He oughtn't' to bav`e nodded -but he did nod. "'Mickel!?" murmured Mr. Janes. "Ave," said Jerry+', .biding speeok ";1f you snide] up ettAllA %v `r 1'11 buy you :a new aute,•;;,sO help me! Come on. I tell you, 4thisjs the most. important drive you ever' tbpk anyone on." He jumped into the Gar: The car Jumped up the street. ' It was a vehicle that, in calmer days would have excited its present passenger's derision -the ever -ready derision of a man who owns no car at all. But now Jerry warmly thanked Heaven for it and for the chance that had impressed something of his own fervor, however erroneously, wupon Jupiter. The crazy motor •• did its. best, and its best wasn't bad -for a while. • They left the town behind them; they breasted a steep,and stony route. There was still a ruddy furnace glow- ing in the western sky. The way was clearly lighted, and the light showed fields of green tobacco and yellow wheat rising on the one hand, while, on the other, a brief incline fell off to the brawling waters of a deep creek -that creek which Rose had mentioned and which Jerry conclud- ed was 'partly fed,' underground, by Break O'D'ay Lake. Then an explosion. "I knowed it!" wailed Jupiter. "That there tire's the rear right, an' it's -'the only new one .o''• the whole four!" - He jumped out. So did Jerry. But Jerry's side was the creek side of' the road, and Jerry's glance, as he landed, was captured and held by something coming down .the stream - something that tumbled over and. ov- er -something that just then •was stopped by. la rock. Jerry all but fell to the brookside. He reached far out and caught a corpse. Brogans. An inflated skirt. A sunbonnet tied beneath the chin. Jerry dragged the body ashore. He lifted the bonnet - "Ye gods!" he cried. "Here's the 'tree' that nearly did for me the night before last? Twombley got to it, after all. Angie Slinn!" The tire repaired, resolute Jupe turned the nose of his car to- ward Americus: "_You kin come 'long, er stay yhere, er go ,yo' own way on yo' tootsies.• Ef you knowed Campbell, lak- I do, you'd come 'long.. But suit yo'self, mister. Me, I'm goin' to town." Jerry, .on his side, had no choice. This time, he was sure,- "TiYombley's ,hand had not hesitated. No matter how much it might look like drown- ing, Angie Slinn had been murdered -and Rose had been hailed, to • that but in the 'highlands: ifferry furious- ly saw the car rattle,away. With ev- ery nerve taut,• with every muscle straining, he ran. Seconds became minutes -•minutes seemed hours. This section of the' countryside proved at once as deso- late as that toward whi4:h Jerry toil- ed. No farms now -no houses -not even another traveller. The • woods had closed in. Only the trees above; below only this rough road and along it the black and 'white of fatal Brun- er's Creek. Nevertheless,. the ',route was indeed the most direct, as Jupe, had declared it to be. It brought Glidden at last to the turnpike at a point 'between Ironburg and that at which the old ce',rt track cut toward clearing and ,cliff. There stood the shanty, more than ever like a tumbling tomb. But some- thing strange rose before it; a park- ed touring car, silent, empty. Nothing else unusual -nothing stirred. Jerry was unarmed. Almost with- out stopping, he picked up what look- ed like a tough stick that lay in his course. He ran lightly, but, beyond that, took no precaution against giv- ing alarm.

It is advisable tomake menus, simple, incluiding some dishes that can be made ahead of time. Meat loaves, cassdroles, macaroni, spaghetti or noodle dishes are favor; ites. Home baked beans are economi- cal and nourishing and usually in high favor. The Consumer Section, Department of Agriculture, has prepared menu suggestions and ,recipe's for farm wo- men faced with the job of feeding extra groups. In the dinner menu it is suggested using a pot roast of beef but as an alternative try serving beef stew ,and vegetable. For supper Shepherd's pie could replace cold meat and scallop- ed potatoes. In addition to whole wheat bread biscuits are included in the menu. Use new Vitamin B white flour. •(Canada Approved). In these menus plain sponge cake for supper is included in addition to the regular dessert to help make up those extra calories needed for stren- uous work.

MAKING 'BETTER USE OF' LICHT rr s>, A combination of back and top lighting is principally responsible for the fine pictorial effect of this snapshot. Keep an eye on the direction of the Tight, and you'll be able to produce equally effective results. AMONG the fundamental tools of all photographers, light holds an unequaled position. But most of us take '-the sun, and flash or flood lamps, almost for 'granted. We do not step to realize' how much the direction of light means to a pic- ture. 1? you watch carefully you'll see that in. most instances light strikes your subjects from one of three major directions -front, side, or back. Outdoors those forms of il- lumination are normally tempered by a touch of top lighting, but each of those types produces a definite effect. Remember that, and you'll find that. you can use light to con- trolthe,-quality and mood of your snapshots. • Front, or 'stat lighting, which is the kind you get when the sun is behind the camera, is, for instance, rather routine and ordinary in ef- fect. It•does not result in too attrac- tive black -and -white prints, but it' will give you perfectly acceptable record pictures.; - • Pictorially the light is,too low in contrast to give ,the most pleasing effect. . , Side lighting is probably much better suited to general purpose photography. It. almost invariably' provides a pleasant balance of highlights and shadows; it helps to achieve a third dimensional effect in your pictures; 'it emphasizes tex- tures; and it provides the basic contrast necessaryto. brilliant -pic- tures. User it often. The third division is back light- ing-the ightingthe kind that exists when the, sun is shining directly at . the cam- era. With back lighting you'll get the type of effect found in our illus- tration, but in this case a reflector was also used to brighten the side the -subject nearest the .camera.' It's just the thing too for making outdoor silhouette, or seini-siI-. houette, pictures. It's good for land- scape studies. And, if you use a re- flector to brighten the shadow side of your subjects, it's a highly. ef- fective lighting for portraiture. There's just one thing to watch out for: don't let the sun shine direct- ly irectly into the camera lens.,Use a lens hood or shade your camera with your hand. Watch ,the light, and you'll be able to 'see your picture quality• move steadily upwards. 392 • John van Guilder GOOD FOOD, RECREATION, KEEP WAR WORKERS FIT' Appetizing meals in the punt eafe- feria provide a pleasant and 11"atililhYl • break for theseshell fillers, a :dan adian war industry.
