 "The next clue is the Heart and Hand at Hinton. We can all go on together-itll be much more fun. Hurry up-there are more cars coming!"
 Jim slipped hand through Caro- , lines arm. They crossed to the other car and he helped her in. She and Kitty had the back seat. Jock Anderson took the wheel. They passed a couple of cars in the lane. and Kitty screamed out,
 We've beaten you! You'll have to hurry!"
 As soon as they were out on the main road Jim spoke.
 "Pm afraid don't want to go to the Heart and Hand"
 Jock Anderson said nothing. Kitty gave stifed giggle.
 Jim spoke again.

 "Well?" Jock Anderson's voice was defiant.
 "Well, I don't want to go to the Heart and Hand, but needn't take you out of your way. suppose Major Anderson's still just across the road-I don't seem to see him moving house"
 Caroline sat up straight and stiff. The blood dumped in her ears. No body spoke.
 i've got business with Major Anderson" said Jim in the most ordinary voice in the world.
 Jock Anderson found his tongue.
 q was going to take you there anyhow" he said roughly.
 Kitty leaned forward, elbows on knees, quick breath nearly choking her. What was going to happen , next. Would he try and hit Jock over the head and grab the wheel? And if he did. would it be any good her trying to scrag him?
 What lark!" said Kitty ecstati- cally. She did rot say it aloud, be- cause Jim was speaking again.
 "You needn't have bothered to put Miss Leigh's car out of action He cut the leads" he explained oyer his shoulder to Caroline. Then, q don't know if she'll want to run you fin for it, but I expect it's actionable all right. We can ask your uncle he's sure to know"
 THE car swerved.
 l q should think you'd have enough to ask him on your own ac- count" growled Jock.
 "Oh, we'll get down to you. l daresay you won't mind waiting.
 The drumming sound in Caroline's ears ceased. She was very cold, and there was a sick weight on her heart. She went on sitting up straight. Her hands gripped one another desperately. Since they had come to the end, she must keep her head up. M
 Beside her Kitty drew long breath of disappointment and sat back. There wasn't going to be a scrap after all. Of course you never knew-he might be waiting to get Jock off his guard. She had better keep her eyes open.

 "Very well, sir. I'll report in the morning."
 Major Anderson came into view.
 "Just a minute Gray" Then, as he caught sight of his nephew, "Hullo. Jock-you're back early. Whom have you got with you? l can't see"
 Jim Randall took Jock by the shoulder and put him out of the way.
 q expect you've forgotten me, Major Anderson" he said. "rm Jim Randall"
 Caroline followed him into the hall. There was a dead silence for a moment. Kitty and Jock came in and the door was shut. Then Inspector Gray moved forward and spoke.
 "If you are MT. Randall of Hale Place, must ask you to accompany me to the police-station."
 Jim looked past him at Caroline.
 "It's all. right-don't worry" he said.
 Then he turned to Major Ander- son.
 q came here to make a statement about the Van Berg affair, sir"
 "A voluntary statement?"
 "Yes. I want to make a state ment-I came here to make one.'
 Major Anderson opened the door behind him.
 Come into my study. Jock, you'd better take Kitty and Miss Leigh home" Caroline turned piteous eyes on him.
 Major Anderson, please let ne come in. l want to make a state ment too. 1 know some of it bet ter than he does"
 She came up to him. He surely couldn't have the heart to keep her out. She blessed the inspector when he said,

 And then there were four of them in the small smoky room. with it's neat writing-table and it's comfort able shabby chairs. Caroline sat down on one of them, and the door was shut. The inspector was speak ing to Jim. (Copyright. I9SS, J. B. Lippipcott Co.,

CONNECTICUT ONCE
HELD WINE DINNERS

NEW HAVEN, Conn.-UP)-
Election Day dinners, at which
great quantities of wine were
served at state expense, were the
order of the day in Connecticut
prior to 1920, according to DR.,
Jarvis Means Morse, of Brown
University, writing in "a Neglect
ed Period of Connecticut History:
The book has just been pub
lished by the Yale University
Press.
The custom was ended in 1920,
when a member of the legislature
protested because there was a So
overcharge in the wine bill. How
ever, as the governor had ordered
the wine, the bill was paid, but a
bill was passed which ended the
practice. Clergymen, Largely
Congregationalists," were proml-
nent at the dinners.
GAS the entertainment of these
gentlemen (clergymen) entailed
considerable expense, the Repub-
licans felt the government was be-
ing imposed upon" writes DR..
Morse. On the other hand, the
clergy, who until adoption of the
state constitution in 1918 had con-
troll over state politics, "were dis
turbed over what seemed to be an
increase in anti-clerical sentl-
ment. Fewer clergymen attended
Election Day ceremonies when
thew discovered wine would not be
served at public expense"
The tariff was a problem even
in those days, DR.. Morse writes,
and the legislature concerned Il,

Pittsburgh Has
Title Aspirant
Yarosz Believed Welter-
Weight Possibility
By ROSCOE SNIPES
United Press Staff Correspondent

PITTSBURGH, Pa.-(UP)-A
young Polish whirlwind, native Of
Pittsburgh, who at % has made
his mark in boxing circles, prom
Uses to bring Pittsburgh its next
boxing championship.
Teddy Yarosz-known as Thad-
deus to his relatives-quit high
school at II to help support the
family after his fathers death,
and now awaits the call to bigger
things.
In his last fight, Teddy easily
defeated Tommy Freeman, former
welterweight champion.
Yarosz has won 60 victories
with one defeat and one draw,
both at the hands of Eddie kid
Wolfe, of Memphis, Tenn. He also
owns a verdict over Wolfe.
In his five years as an amateur
and professional fighter Teddy has
grown stronger and better with
each fight.
The Polish youngster, planning
to enter Geneva College, at Beaver
Falls, Pa, next year, is studying
under a special tutor for his col
lege work.
Yarosz fought his first profess
sional fight in 1929 at Junction
Park, Beaver Valley. He had
worked his way to a professional
career by winning 81 of 80 anna
teur bouts.
Although Yarosz hasn't beaten
anyone of exceptional ability, he
has made his way into the posi-
ton as one of the best five welters
in the world. Jimmy McLarnin,
the present champion, Jackie
Fields and Young Corbett Ill,
both former weller kings, are the
only ones listed above him in that
division.
He has plenty of punching abil-
ity and is at his best when his op-
ponent is able to drive home one
or two solid punches. Teddy then
will stand toe to toe, giving and
taking.
