It was not until he and Helen
emerged upon the sidewalk that the
typewriter threats were brought for
chilly to mind. He guided Helen
through the throng of pedestrians to
the curb, where the starter already
had summoned taxi.
And here Hazard abruptly halted:
the conveyance was not the same one
they had used earlier in the evening,
not the one in which they had come
to the restaurant from the theater and
whose driver he had instructed to
wait.
He had no more than paused in his
progress toward the vehicle when
there came sudden surging among
the pedestrians surrounding him. The
cab door flew open and at the same
instant he was seized by powerful
hands and roughly hustled toward it.

Helen, her fine gray eyes shining

quietly:

But just then q bluecoat forced his

Cub Members Are
Most Interested

Interesting and indicative Of the
feelings of a majority Of business
men OF the city in regard to civic af-
fairs. are the results of the cards
which We're sent out by the MARSHALL
town Club about a week ago. asking
the members to indicate their pref
erences to what committees they de-
sired to serve on for the coming year.
out of about $40 cards sent out, Sec
rotary Johnson has up to now re-
ceived nearly eighty replies. Out of
these replies by far the greater num-
Der of men have asked to be placed on
the Greater Marshalltown" committee.
Many have Indicated this committee as
their first choice. others as their
second, and still others as theirlthira.
That the majority of club members
are interested in the advancement OF
the citSyas a whole is shown by the
tone of all the replies. Nearly every
member who responded so far has
asked TO be placed on Il committee
which has to do with the advancement
of the city IN some manner. Next to.
Greater Marsfalltown. municipal af-
fairs is the second choice of many,
while parks and Fairgrounds comes
third, and roads and highways fourth
All these committees shave for their
ultimate object the Improvement of
the city in some particular aspect,
while the Greater Marshalltown COM
mittee embraces all these objects.
.additiolr-to the committees named
above other preferences received We're
for public health. publicity. manufac-
turing, retail trade. convention enter
tainment. membership, and agriculture
committees.
At a recent meeting of the nominate
ing committee of the club, preliminary
plans were made for drawing up a
list of names from which to choose
nominees for the coming annual cleo

mediately after Christmas. and the
