Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1934-09-21

Anne was discovering that not
even the beloved Perch could ban
ish a %tormenting devil of jealousy
and suspicion. Things grew worse
instead of better. AS a slow week
dragged by, each day held less hope
lof reconcilition.
Ling's bland face never betrayed
anything. Anne was glad that Mar
tina Larrabee had gone back to Mars
ton.
Martha had closed the little house
at Trails End only a week before
their return. 1t was quiet and peace
full, but it was lonely. Sometimes
she wished bitterly that she had
never seen Barry Duane.
She rode Comet often but always
alone. She saw Barry in the distance
one day, sitting with the Captain at
a jutting point in the trail. Comet
wh1ckered a shrlll greeting and
Captain replied, but Barry merely
turned his head, raised his hat and
turned back.
Anne's face stung with angry
heat. She'd rather be ordered out of
the house than treated like a child
in disgrace.
She went back to her own 1oneli-
ness, and presently Barry came in,
Saying little. She was dropping her
small efforts at cheerfulness now.
She must have it out with him and
end this, one way or another.
care you busy, Barry?"
"No.' He put down the book he
was reading.
Don't you think it is time we

barry? You know we can't go on
This way"
II agree with you entirely. I am
READY and have been, whenever you
want to do your part"

Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1934-09-21

During the past three years the
average was less than so, and
in 1888 it dropped to about 40.
Such inadequate earnings
might easily have endangered
the foundation structure of the
business and hampered the
service but for the Company's
farsighted policy of retaining
each year a small part of the
earnings to care for financial
stress during Improbable years.
As a result of this sound pol
icy, telephone service has not
been allowed to suffer, but on
the contrary has been constantly
improved during the past four
years. And the scope of the serv-
ice has been extended to the far
corners of the earth, so that you
can now talk to almost anyone,
anywhere, at any time, quickly,
and at a surprisingly small cost.
In this way the telephone
company has fulfilled and will
strive to continue to fulfill its
obligation to the public, that of
furnishing the best possible
service at a cost as low as is
consistent with financial safety,

Mrs. Duane left here within a week.
She was to disappear completely, and
alone. And early this morning they
started back to hat ranch. To-
gether! Imbecile!'
"I've done better than you think.
If she and Duane are starting West
on the same train it's for appear
ances, not for any joy ride. You'll
probably find that one or the other
of them will go on to Reno" he
added significantly.
"Why?'
"Oh, Duane horned in while we
were talking. At a place where I'd
asked her to meet me-"
Kennedy looked sharply at Miss
Cleo Pendleton. The small childish
face was lit for a second with a sort
|of greedy joy.
"Now that they've gone, I'd bet
ter hold myself ready to follow up
and see that it goes through. I'll
need money for that. How about
letting me have the other five grand
now? Cash this time.'
Cleo considered it. II will give
you the ten thousand in cash and
you may turn over the check"
II couldn't think of asking it"
Kennedy bowed politely. "Five
thousand will be plenty. When the
LOB is complete | can come back for
the other five, and trade it in for
the check"
Cleo could have killed him. every
well. I will have it for you tomor-
row at noon.'
The door closed on Kennedy.
In the hall the new footman ap-
peared from a cross corridor and
obligingly let Kennedy out. They
exchanged a word or two, and the
door closed. Kennedy paused for a
second on the steps.
"There's something phoney about
that Bird" he reflected. He was
out of breath. I'll drift, as soon as
l get the five grand
He got it the next day. Inside of
an hour he had sent in his notice, re-
ceived his wages and was on his way
to the station.
A few days later Kennedy's eye
picked up an item in the paper.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gage will leave
next Friday on a trip to the Pacific
coast"
Kennedy's eyes narrowed thought
fully. Gage had business interests
out there. 1t was o likely to be
more than just coincidence. II don't
see how there could be anything in
it, he reflected, "but it wouldn't
hurt to be on hand"
Cleo saw the same item. She sat
up suddenly. Nancy and Barry had
gone West. The Cages were going
West, ostensibly to the Coast, but
Marston was on the way. Jim Ken.
needy, if he kept his word, was going
West also.
II don't suppose there can be any
thing in it," she thought. "But
knows the Cages, and he had
been trying for years to get John
Gage interested in that old valley.
It's queer. I wish I had a decent
to follow them"

was just leaving the hotel, step

forward in response to a signal
from the doorman :.
"Did you know that was going

said, "but first let me get up in

cab driver.
"Never mind the idea," Griff
told him. cts important that
you follow instructions. I want
to be up here where I can see

He climbed into the front of the
cab. Blocker leaned forward and
said authoritatively, 'Tt's all right.

"Okay by me-" the cab driver
said. Gust so I get the meter"
You get twice the amount of

don't lose that other cab"
They swung out into traffic,
moving at a reasonable rate of
speed. The cab ahead turned to
a side street and made time. Tho
driver shortened the space be-
tween them. The cab turned once
more to the left and ran along a
residential thoroughfare which
was almost devoid of traffic.
Blocker leaned forward and
tapped on the glass.
"This is the same street where
Shillingby was murdered" he said.
Griff nodded.

A car swung around side
street behind them.
"Pull into the curb as though
we were stopping" Griff told the
driver. "Let that car behind US get
ahead"
The car pulled in to the curb.
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1934-11-20

The other cab ran on ahead. Griff
got out and stood by the side of
the cab, his head bent forward, his
right hand in his trouser pocket as
though reaching for change.
The other car slid smoothly by
with constantly accelerated speed.
1t was gray Cadillac coupe with
dented left rear fender.
"Quickw Griff shouted, spring
ing to the running board of the
taxicab. Go after that car. Give
it everything you've got"
He reached to the shoulder hol-
ster which was suspended under
his left arm-pit and pulled out a
heavy caliber automatic. Blocker
excitedly tugged the gun which
the criminologist had given him
from his hip pocket.
The cab went swiftly through
the gears and into quick accelera-
ton. The big Cadillac ahead was
still gaining, overhauling the first
cab in which the girl rode.
"Fasterw shouted Griff.
"I'm giving ner all she's got, "
the driver said.
The cab was built for quick &C
celebration in traffic and, momen-
tarily, it Increased it's speed, at

implored frantically. "He's got

The cab driver sai,i nothing.
Griff, standing with one foot
on the running board, clinging to
the rod of the windshield support
with his left hand, held the heavy
caliber automatic in his right.

The gray Cadillac swept on, wob-
