jumped out Of the limousine

of the men sprang into the cab
and apparently slugged Whitley

ADVICE FOR
LOVELORN
YOUTH
By Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I was engaged to q girl Of n.
I am IS, and we used to think .
lot Of each other. But there
were always family arguments.
and for that reason. one day
when I didn't realize what I was
doing. I took our engagement
ring away from her and broke
the engagement. I didn't mean
It, and I wanted everything
made up the same day, but
everyone-the girl and her fam
ily-turned against me. Now,
after four months of waiting,
when she sees me she turns her
head away. Do you think q girl
can completely forget q man to
whom she has been engaged for
nearly q year. What would be
your advice? AL A.
Answer: OF course, y0a- real
ize you acted badly when you
demanded the return Of your
ring-tl1At's LETT to the lady. But
as it seems to have been the re-
suit Of bad temper, rather than
snyshing worse. why don't you
write her and say 30, insteaE. Of
lodging round and trying to
make her speak to you on the
street. To be frank with you.
IL looks to me as II she were
done, in which case I'd look
around for another girl. That's
the age-old remedy for fOrgetful-
ness.

They told me I was to be

do the rest, meaning that they
wOuld steal them. I was
warned not to communicate
with the police and not to re-
fuse to accept the Jewels or
nay life would be forfeited.
From what I could gather they
are the same band responsible
for the theft Of the CxArina
collection. It's q sdevilish %

CHAPTER 8

Robin Dale had completed the
story on the Ruratania'S record
trip and was well into a second
one regarding the mysterious
disappearance Of the famous
collection of jewels when he was
called to the telephone. He had,
upon his arrival at the Daily
Journal office, endeavored to
locate Inspector Carlin by tele-
phone, without success. There
was the matter OF Albert White
ly's disappearance which the in
Spector might have been able
to clear up.
When Dale went to the tele-
phone he found Inspector Carlin
at the other end.
Dale? This is Carlin. Can
you come right over? I'm at
Whitehall Street something
important has happened"
''I suppose you know Whitley
never got to his hotel?"
"I know it. that's what I
want to give you. I know what
happened to him."
Dale finished up his story In
q rush. He turned it in to Pop
Beacon, who was now on the
desk. Let this go a while, Pop.

the nights over. but meanwhile

tory Of the jewels?. .It'l be in

there's a picture of the CardiZ
diamond in the morgue. You
can go the limit, Pop, because
there's q big story coming out
OF it."
Dale went directly to In
spector Carlin's office on White
hall Street. On the way he
tried to anticipate the informa-
ton the secret service chief
would have for him. Dale al
