THE THIRD DEGREE

Far out on the horizon a sloop
veered to the wind and bent its grace
full sails as if to scoop the crest Of
a frothy little wave.
Mary and juno were sitting on the
observation porch of the Travis home,
looking out over the beach.

belled June. IF l stay in bed too

Woman in Black would have gotten

sleuth now, l can't afford to sleep,

Mary looked up at the mischievous,
smiling face. A shadow of fear crept
into her eyes.
Il wish you wouldn't have anything
more to do with this" she begged
gently. You are so young, 80 i'm

see that I've taken out the safest
sort of an insurance policy by joining
forces with Mr.. Lamar In tracking the
Red Circle?"
81 don't like it don't like any
thing about It." Mary clasped and
unclasped her hands nervously. You
have become so headstrong, dear.
Ever since this mark came on your
hand you're so different"
"Oh, look" June exclaimed, glad
of an excuse to change the subject.
LOOK at the monkey, Mary. Isn't he
perfectly adorable? Oh, you're not
looking in the right place. He's doing
all sorts of tricks. Isn't he wonder
full"
Il think he's an awful looking thing.
I'm going into the house. | don't
want to look at him any more"
All right; you go in. I'll stay out

June leaned out over the porch rail,
keeping her eyes fastened on the

bite her lips and frown. The signs
were alarming The old woman looked

He turned to enter the house. A
thick rubber mat, bound in metal,
tripped him. He stumbled through
the doorway and collided with WON

see her face. His gaze fell upon
black leather handbag and paper
parcel that could have contained any
thing from a picnic lunch to pair of
shoes. Bracing himself against the
sides of the entrance he tried to get
his balance.
Perhaps you'll allow me to pass
a cold, sarcastic voice broke In upon
his distress.

gasped poor Lamar, again threatened
with a fall as he tried to be courtly.
Then he raised his face. One look
at the dark, slightly aquiline features
and he was very erect and very cool.
"On second thoughts" he said calm

Under arrest? Me?" she tossed
her head, boldly. I'D like to see you

into his pocket.

inquired politely.
"Oh, I'll CO." she answered after q

Ten minutes later, when she re.

police station. he seized her arm and
hustled her in, bringing her up before
the sergeant's desk.

The woman raised her eyebrows.

"a word to the wise, you know. / ad

Lamar opened the paper parcel, dis

on their way to the cobbler's to be

Out in the street Lamar was coach

The two men started off down a side
street. Lamar and Vaughan walked
quickly until they got to the corner
of Smiling Sans" street. There they
stopped deliberately and lighted Gig
arettes. They saw a man, who was
hanging around outside, dive inside
the shop.
"a lookout" muttered Lamar.
Come on, Vaughan! Well get in
there double quick, before they have q
chance to make a getaway. Anyhow,
the boys in the alley will get them"
Lamar and Vaughan dashed across
the street and through the ramshackle
entrance to the store. At the back
wall they saw a stout man trying to
hurl himself through an opening that
seemed less like door than an EARTH
quake gap. A sudden jerk from the
other side OF the wall yanked him
through. A row of shelves slid into
view. The opening was closed.
"Open II! Open i'll" howled Lamar
to Vaughan. Wait; I'll find the
spring! It's a secret door"
He passed his finger tips over the
entire wall surface. He swept shelf
fuls of shoe boxes to the floor. He got
on his knees and tested the floor. His
rapid, excited search was unsuccess-

A long, cracking sound tore out
through the heavy banging. A crack
that showed yellowish white appeared.
One leg of the bench crashed through
the wood and stuck. The door began
to give.

FARMERS STILL PLUGGING FOR
FAIR MILK PRICE
In order to evade groups of special
police and sluggers congregated
around the shipping points and the
bOttling plants by the milk trust,
dairy farmers have brought out their
automobiles and are patroling the
roads, enlisting other farmers in their
fight to bring up the price of milk %
cents per hundred pounds. They want
a fair percentage.
The big distributing companies are
not exactly pleased over the way the
sheriffs are treating them. The farm
ers have asked them to be neutral in
the milk war and they are obeying
the request, knowing where their
votes come from.
The milk producers say a shortage
is already being felt in Chicago. They
predict housewives will be inconveni-
enced by Wednesday.
