Thousands upon thousands who
claim to have suffered for years
with constipation. gas, indigestion
and q general rundown condition
report that this Herb Tonic Laxa-
tive has given them more relief
than they have ever had before.
Mrs. C. Olson, who resides at the
corner of Maple and Sherman Ave-,
Takoma Park, Nd, says she has
found it to be the greatest builder
she ever used, and wants to recon-
mend it to all her friends. Yes.' said
Mrs. Olson, when she called at the

that Millers Herb Extract is one
medicine a person can depend upon.

even felt that she was not
suspected, the police might
well keep some sort OF
watch upon this house. Not
that they would expect Bob
by to come here. They
would not even expect him
to take the chance of writ
ing.
Beebe shivered a little and
went on playing her cards.
Her own strong will was
being tested tonight. Some
thing had told her that Bob
by Doyle was in New York.
She had an instructive feel
ing that he was not far,
away, though why she felt
that she did not know. Only
a peculiar tension seemed to
hang in the air, and her
senses were strangely sharp
ened. She felt as if not only
she, but Johnny and Mary,
were secretly listening.
Suddenly Johnny threw
down his cards with a curse.
He couldn t go on playing.
AS White as Death
"We II all go bugs if we
sit around staring at each
other and waiting. But

I wish there was something
we could think about!"
AS if answer, there rose
suddenly upon the air the
familiar clangor of a fire
engine. A siren walled, and
from far off there came a
shrill traffic whistle.
Johnny jumped towards
the windows, while the two
girls peered across his shoul-
ders. The long hook and

with cop on every
corner. 1t was tough enough

"We We got everything

house. She's all right. She's

a shawl. You can put 'em

"Me?" Bobby exclaimed.

Johnny declared. "They

"We doped it out, Mary

"You II look just like one of

Bobby nodded, but he

grinned a little. "All right.
What you say goes. But I
never thought I'd make my
self up as a dame before !"
There came a sudden
sharp rap on the door. They
whilred swiftly, with sud
den dread in their eyes.
Mary was almost the first
to act. She lifted the top
of the hollow sofa, motioned
Bobby feverishly. In a mo-
ment he had slipped inside,
and it was closed once more.
Beebe took a step towards
the door, but Johnny waved
her back quickly, and, steal
ing to the table, picked up
his cards. Beebe and Mary
understood. As quietly and
as swiftly as they could,
they took their places,
gathered up their cards with
shaking fingers, and pre-
tended to resume playing. A
louder knock came at the
door.
Beebe met Johnny's eye.
"Come in she said in a
voice which she did not
recognize as her own.

CHAPTER 8
By GILBERT ROGERS
From the Scenario By Willard Mac

AS for Beebe, she had said
nothing about the man she
had seen watching the apart
ment from across the street.
When she had looked again,
the man was not to be seen.
Perhaps he had sneaked
farther back into the shad-
ows of the dingy doorway,
perhaps he had gone away.
He might have been a casual
loi+erer, a bum, perhaps.
There was no sense in mag
lining the very lamp-posts

But though she had not

ladder swung the corner, the
heavy engines rumbling. All
at once, with a screech OF
brakes, it drew up, directly
across the way.
The fire must be in the
neighborhood, though there
was no sign of smoke. They
saw the chief drive up in a
small red car, shout orders.
A throng had gathered. A
typical New York crowd
sprung up from nowhere.
In all the confusion there
seemed to be no general di-
rection. One group of fire
men pushed into the dark
ened hallway across the
street., came out presently,
stared up at the building
next to it. Evidently they
could not locate the fire.
While the two girls and
Johnny stood there looking
out of the window, the door
of the apartment was sud-
denly flung open. They
turned, and saw Bobby
Doyle standing there.
He was as white as death,
but there was a grin on his
reckless, looking face.
He was still breathing hard
as if he had been running.
Johnny came stumbling for
ward, caught his hand;
Mary was in his arms; only
Beebe hung back. But his
eyes turned on Beebe, he
could look nowhere else.
Their whispered questions
rose and blended. He shook
his head, laughed a little.
"Pull Down That Shade"
"Wait up!" he said. And
pull down that shade, Mary!
After 0ettin' this far. I
don't want to take any
chances now!" He stood
listening, holding up his
hand. ''I pulled that fire
box" he explained. "When
| got across the street, I
didn t want to come runnin
right up here. So / turned
in the fire alarm, and when
they arrived, l sneaked
through the crowd"
He laughed again, trium-
'phsntly now, sure of him
self as ne had always been.
He put Mary gently aside,
shook Johns arm off, and
went over to Beebe. She,
who had borne so much un-
flinchingly, was trembling
now. He took her into his
arms and kissed her.
She murmured his name
over and over and stared
into his eyes, meeting there
a look that was like her
own longing.
But Johnny was too rest
less. He broke out sharply:
Listen, Bobby, what

 Escaping with Nitti were Carlo Roselli, former professor of political economy at the Genoa institute, and Emilio Lussu, war hero, four times decorated by the Italian government Roselli's account of the escape made to Paris newspapers. said they eluded 400 guards which the Italian government placed on the small isle, off Sicily, to watch 500 political pris- oners. and swan along the shore of the island to a secluded spot where some friends awaited them with a small sail boat

Liner Loses Time in Effort to Re-

 When Virginia and Edward were awakened by the smell of smoke, their first thought was of Lillian and George Hillier, respectively s and ' years of age. who slept in a ground floor bedroom.
 They groped their way into the room where Lillian and George slept and awakened the two sleeping chil- dren. Finding the doors aflame, they broke a window screen. helped Lil- lian and George down to the ground a few feet below. and then saved themselves.
