"A Voice From The Tomb

Former Sen. James A. Reed Of Missouri is deer
hunting in Texas. a. San Antonio reporter bearded
the old lion in his hotel den and won an interview.
Prohibition was the topic. Reed was ready. He
said:
you cannot force the American people to dc
anything. No more does one hear the old time tenn
perance sermon. Now it only is the doctrine of
force that is being advocated. You cannot force the
American people to do anything. Everywhere. In the
home. at parties, in hotels. and elsewhere The law is
being violated deliberately"
Reed OF Missouri should have a care. He may be
dragged before a Texas grand Jury. There are I'M
dercover workers In San Antonio. They are hunt
ing buyers as well as sellers. They have a dragnet.
In the dragnet two well known citizens were caught
last week and the throwers Of the dragnet are said
to be out for big game,

CHAPTER SO

CHAP LEI %
For the first time Rosalie did ont
cringe at the sight OF the reporter.
The story had leaked out that she
was engaged to Roy Andrews and
several or the reporters were from
New York. It was a story that was
rocking the country. There were all
the elements OF mystery, love and
intrigue they could possibly hope
for in the life story Of one small
girl.
WE understand" one Of the group
began. that you were engaged to
Roy Andrews"
It wish you would wait until Mr..
Andrews Is able to talk about It."
Rosalie said, uncertainty. Il don't
want to say anything that would
be embarrassing to him"
"You don't deny that you were
to be married"
Mono. We had been engaged
for several days before all this ter
rible trouble happened"
They sat back well pleased. She
had admitted her engagement. That
alone would make headlines enough
for one day.
why were you keeping II such
a secret that even Peter Clarke
didn't know it?"
Because" she replied shyly. II

Her reply was so naive and frank
that the spokesman squirned q little
uncomfortably.
Did Roy Andrews think ms
uncle would disinherit him?"
Rosalie. by this time, was SC
wrapped up in her story and the
defense OF her love that she didn't
realize what kind of thrilling copy
she might be giving the papers. HeI
head went up in a gesture Of de-
fiance.

Active in Communist
Youth Work

BUFFALO, May 5.-Jame3 Rush
former Buffalo district organizer of
the Young Workers League, and a
member of the National Executive
Committee of the League until its
last convention, has been mysteri-
ously missing since the morning of
Wednesday, May l.
Because Rush has been suffering
i'll health for over the last year, his
disappearance has caused his family
and comrades to entertain the gray
est fears regarding his whereabouts.
Starting for the City Hospital on
Wednesday morning, where he was
scheduled to receive a treatment for
the skin trouble from which he has
suffered for some time, Rush left
his home and has not been seen or
heard from since. He failed to ap-
pear at the hospital. Comrades be-
came alarmed when he also did not
put in an appearance at the May
Day meeting that evening at which
he was listed to speak.
Rush is about feet, 8 inches,
weighs about 115 pounds, has gray
ish eyes and light brown hair. He
speaks with a slight Scotch accent.
When he left home he was wearing
brown suit, a light gray top-coat
and cap, black oxfords, and a white
shirt. His eyes were red and in
famed and he may have been wear
ing shell-rimmed glasses. His face
appeared red and irritated from the
skin disease which he was having
treated.

We arc able to secl most of the
