CHAPTER II
A Blind Lead

Lands was waiting at the driveway
gate when Markham's roadster came
to a stand, and his thin face seemed
to have grown haggard overnight.
SIT wasn't my Imagination. after all
that feeling told you about last
night, the feeling that some one was
spying upon me as l worked" he said.
And as they entered the small build
ing, "This is just as found it few
minutes before 'phoned you"
Markham stopped to look into the
safe, the door of which was standing
open.
"It was opened on the combinations
he said.
"Of course-it had to be. The thief
knew what was inside and knew that
he couldn't dynamite the safe without
taking a long chance of destroying the
thing he was after. found it just as
1t stands now; the bolts shot, and the
dial standing on the final figure of the
combination"
"Um; that brings on mere talk, right
at the beginning Of things. Somebody
know your combinations"
The question seemed to plunge the
inventor Into deep pit Of embarrass-
ment.
II can't say positively, Wally. But
but the one person who may know the
combination is as far above suspicion
as the stars are above the EARTH"
"Come Clean" said Markham, with
his good-natured grin. IF I'm going to
help, I've got to know the insides-all

who may know?"

was keeping the thing in the safe, as
do anything that I don't want to
leave lying around in sight, and when
l began to spin the dial she knelt
beside me, saying she'd always been
curious to know how combination

"And you showed herr"
"Of course. l explained how the
tumblers were made and put together
so that each time the dial stopped at

mot quite. To illustrate what
meant 1 unscrewed the back plate of
the lock and called off the series of
figures so she could spin the dial and
see for herself how the mechanism
worked. 1t was only bit of byplay,
as you might say. and there isn't
shadow of doubt in my mind but that
Betty forgot the figure before she was
an hour older. But even If she didn't.

one who opened this saic last night.

Fertile Top Soil
Saved by Terrace

The erosion problem, one of the
most serious facing the farms of the
United States, has been practically
solved in one section of Missouri
where the federal warnings have
been taken seriously. In this area
steep hillsides, which for years had
been washed by heavy rains, have
been planted in corn by the so-called
terracing method. The results have
more than borne out the contentious
of the experts who have maintained
that this method is the only one
which will save the fertile top soil
which in unprotected regions has
been washed away either by sheet
erosion or by outlying.
To Illustrate, accurate measure
ments on adjacent fields subject to
the same rainfall as the terraced
fields disclosed the soil washed away
last year at the rate of 40 tons per
acre. On the terraced fields the loss
showed an average of 2.3 tons per
acre with one particular develop
ment with just So pounds over ton
loss.
There are two methods of terrac-,
ing. one which provides a gentle
slope from one fiat down towards the
terrace leading to the flat on the
next lower level, and one in which
the various flats are made as level as
possible. In the case of the level
areas, the loss was held to the mini
mum.
The amount of soil lost annually
through the erosion is tremendous
and experts are endeavoring to bring
all farmers with fields subject to the
swift wash of heavy rainfall to q

The laggard in love spoke up
quickly.
"You are not saying it all, Wally-
not speaking for yourself, mean. But
you don't need to. I've known ever
since last year how 1t is with you.
You are in love with Betty yourself.
That Is one reason why I've buried
myself in my job hereto give you

you both stand. No, don't make any
mistake; 1t isn't any silly knightly
chivalry on my part-just common

Capital expenditure totalling rearly $20O, 100000 in 416 cities during the five years, indicate the importance of parks in city fiscal planning, the report states.
