"The little messages you used to slip to Martin," Johnny went on grimly, "were neatly printed on the backs of large stamps. Martin used to colleot stamps, and all you had to do was hand him a new one for his collection.—with a message written on the back. You gave shim ene that night he — died, didn't you?" For a brief instant, Nancy's dark eyes stared hard at Johnny Saxon. Thenshe looked down again. Johnny went on: "Martin was tired of you. But you persisted. You demanded that he meet you that Saturday night at the gun club. Today you discovered that Grandpoppa Smith must have found diose messages written on the stamps, and was looking for me in order to tell me. It was an NOTICE!

ILO easy thing for you to slip down from your room, find him standing near the pool, and push :him in. You knew the old fellow couldn't swim-" Nick Walker gasped, "Good God." His face was rigid. Johnny paused. There was ten- sion in the room. Irene Smith kept watching 'her sister, a sort of ques- tion in her deep, thoughtful eyes. She made no comment. "All right," said Johnny, "so you even stole the sleeping pills from Karen's room. While I was away speaking to Karen in the hallway outside your room, this afternoon, you were right there behind your locked door. You were listening and so you knew she had them." Nancy's mouth was a thin, grim line. Johnny suspected that she was clamping her teeth tightly to- gether. But she didn't look up. "Karen told me the pills were missing — later," Johnny said. "Maybe you planned to put them in something Irene might drink— an- overdose." He paused. Kay staring. Moe lopked .amazed. No one spoke. "Because," Johnny went on, "Martin had given you the brush- off, you were going to have it out with him . that Saturday night at your gun club rendezvous. That's where you used to meet him. That's how Irene here, found out, be- cause she went there afternoons to work on her book. She found something that must 'have told her the setup." Johnny rubbed his fingers through his hair. He felt like a columnist who specializes in key- hole secrets. Irene Smith saw Itis hesitation, said, "Go on. Finish it." "Well," said Johnny, "so you, Nancy, met 'Martin at the club that night before he went out with his wife. There must have been a scene—and in the midst of it Irene, here, walked in on you." Waving his hand, indicating that he was skipping some of the de- tails, Johnny said, "The next morn- ing Martin is found apparently the victim of a holdup. His wife, trying to drive frantically to get help, cracks up the car. The accident in- jures her head, and she remem- bers nothing that happened. So the secret of what occurred ,that night is locked in her mind! No one would ever know that on Wei Saturday night at the gun club you had taken an automatic from the gun case and were ready to kill him!" Johnny's eyes moved across the room, back to Nancy's motionless figure in the chair. Nick Walker was shaking his head slowly. Doc- tor Clark now stood near Karen. She was gripping his arm. Both were tense, "Then," Johnny added, "I arriv- ed here. You discovered Kay and I went over to Northport together late yesterday afternoon. You won- dered what Kay was up to . what she might have told me , . ," Kay interrupted with, "Sake knew I suspected. I could tell!" For the first time, Nancy Eng- land spoke. "Yes, I tried to kill you both!" she snapped. Her words were ice. Her eyes, alive now, flickered with ;strange lights. "I can show you where the ride is hidden. You can't miss that one, for it was never kept in the gun case. Martin bought it special once , .' ''Her cold eyes went across the room to Irene. Nancy's figure moved slightly. "And I'm going to hill her!" Johnny shouted: "Moe! Watch her! She has a gun!" Moe Martin was closer to Nancy's chair than his partner. He must have seen the woman reach down beside the cushion where she had hidden the .32 automatic. He tried to reach her, as did Johnny himself. But with panther - fast agility Nancy England leaped toward Irene Smith, the automatic in her hand. Kay gave a scream, trying to shield her mother. Irene, however, came to her feet SPORTS RT.• CHATTER (By WALLY) I � "Seaforth — Sport& Centre of Huron County." It might have been one time, but it is no more! Softball was al- most killed this year for lack of fans, and at the time of writing no intermediate or junior hockey has been planned for the coming winter season. The Canadian Leg- ion dropped the intermediate team because of lack of interest by the people so as to provide the necessary funds to run such a team. If more Pane would attend the games, the team would have been iced once more, but—no crowds•'—no fundb; no funds --no team! The Seaforth Athletic Associa- tion is only a name. It thas been dormant for a couple of years due to lack of interest and co-opera- tion. With no clubs anxious to back hockey teams in 'this area, and no person to run such teams, it is necessary that this associa- tion be brought back into activity. Come on, folks! Let's get to- gether and as good sportsmen awaken a little more enthusiasm in sports in what once was an ex- cellent reporting town. A meeting was held at the Town Hall Friday evening with fourteen present. Is that supposed to be a good showing for a town with a population of better than 2,000? Surely out of a town this size there are more than these faithful few interested in the sporting ac- tivities of the town. We sure hope that this isn't an outlook of what kind of crowds sporting events will get in the future in Seaforth. Let's wake up to the fact that sports play a vital part in any community. It is impossible for fourteen citizens to decide the fate of sports in Seaforth. After a live -wire discussion, it was decided that the Athletic As- sociation, which still holds a char- ter, must be reformed. After ap- pointment of a good executive, a membership drive will have to get under way and get all fans and other citizens behind the work of such association one hundred per cent. Next Monday night, Sept. 24, an- other meeting will get underway, at which time an election of officers will take place. Get out and tell your friends about this meeting, and don't forget to home yourself. Back up sports iu your own ,home town. Attend this meeting. What good is a community cen- tre when no local sporting events can be promised in it? Must the committee in charge of such go begging to other towns to use our arena to help keep it running? Show the rest of the towns that Seaforth still has a few sports - minded enthusiasts left. They all arent' dead yet! Her hand flashed up. seized Nancy's arm. She swept up the, arm just as the gun cracked out. The uptilted muzzle sent a slug into Nancy's throat, below thejaw. Nancy England coughed. The automatic slid from her fingers. Her eyes wild and staring. She swayed— Tlte whole thing, Johnny rea:iz- ed, had happened with camera-iost speed. They carried Nancy out between them, aided by the millionaire. I There was the sound of a car mot- or running outside the main en- trance to the front hall, Doctor Clark was saying, "You'd better come with me, Karen." His features were set and grim. Johnny followed them,,_fnto the hall. He asked Clark urently, "What do you think, Doc?" The doctor's voice was low as he spoke. The words were for Johnny only, "She hasn't a chance, I doubt if she lives until we get there." They were in the doorway. .Rain beat in from the porch en- trance. Nick and the butler were lifting the woman into the car. J. T. Smith held the door open for them.

That depends on the make of -your present car. All new Dodge en- gines are designed to operate with maximum performance and top efficiency with ordinary gasoline. Q A How can I judge the amount of choking my car requires to start under varying weather conditions? Unfortunately, you cannot. But new Dodge cars are equipped with an Automatic Electric Cho kel which makes starting easier — par.' ticuiarly in cold weather, and avoids wasteful overchoking. 0 If my foot brake should fail will my parking brake still operate? AYes, if you own a Dodge. The Dodge parking brake is com- pletely independent of the foot brake, operating on a dram of its own fastened to the propeller shaft. When the propeller shaft is locked, the wheels cannot turn. In many cars the parking brake operates on the two rear drums of the foot brake. QIn face of the high cost of body repairs, why don't all cars have detachable fenders? AIt would scent that some manufac- turers have sacrificed the practical for styling. All Dodge fenders ere bolted on and are easily removed to facilitate replacement or repair. Q A (AR OWNERS: DGE. HAS THE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS YOU FREQUENTLY ASK. How can 1 stop my gas lines from clogging with dirt and water? With most cars there's no sure way. Yon might try draining and cleaning out your tank from time to time. In cold weather always keep your tank well filled as this reduces the amount of condensation. With a 1951 Dodge, of course, you cannot experience this annoying trouble. The new Dodge is equipped with an Oilite fuel filter located in the gas' tank which keeps the entire fuel system free from dirt and water. It's self-cleaning, too, from the swishing action of the gas in the tank. Q A Why is rear seat riding in some cars so tiring? That's because a low, sloped -back rear seat places you in an uncom- fortable position without support under and behind the knees. Dodge chair -high seats, both front and rear, give you proper knee and back support — Iet you ride long distances in comfort. 11 I OIL Q'How can 1 best protect my engine from the dirt and abrasives which collect in the oil? You should install an efficient oil filter, if your car is not so equip- ped. Not only are all Dodge Coro- net and Regent models equipped with a highly efficient Micronic Oil Filter as standard equipment, but all Dodge models give you added protection with a Floating Oil Intake- This type of intake draws only the clean oil from just below the surface, preventing both surface foam and bottom sludge from entering the oil linea, A Q A Should 1 buy a set of the special tires or tubes advertised as pro- tection against blowouts? Many motorists would not be with. out them. Dodge owners, however, have an exceptional safety factor in "Safety Rim" wheels. Protective ridges on these wheels hold the standard tire in place in case of tire failure, reduce the danger of loss of cop4 p1 and allow safe, straight stops. Q A Why do my windshield wipe s slow down and sometimes stop) working when I accelerate my engine—often when 1 need them most? That's a little technical but here'i the answer in simplest terms. Your wiper is a vacuum type, operated from the vacuum in the intake manifold. This vacuum is highest whettk the engine is idling — lowest when the engine is under full load; such as whet you call for fast acceleration, so yon , vacuum wipers slow down. With the new Dodge cars you do not experience ibis trouble as they are equipped with con- stant -speed electric windshield wipers. Q A i'I Is there any real difference in the various types of air cleaners? Yes, there are vast differences. For example, all Dodge cars use a heavy-duty oil -bath air cleaner. Int "dust storm" teats, this type cleaner proved much more efficient than ordinary mesh -type filters even at the start. And, after 2,000 miles of driving it proved to be still 98% efficient, or nearly, double that of other types of cleaners. v These are some of the reasons for DODGE DEPENDABILITY, COMFORT AND ECONOMY and why we say "Ore a Deftedd r'edge 04 5 oftleareQ acid voa?1 ebteve veAvt/" PHONE 267 ROWCLIFFE MOTORS SEAFORT
