"I will expect you alone. Don't bring
your pal"
She was gone before the young
tramp could reply. 1t was then that
he looked at the bill in one hand and
the calling card in the other. The
card read:
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt"
Warned by Friend.
Below the name the address Of the
Roosevelt New York City home had
been scribbled by her.
Miss Nancy Cook, friend and asso-
ciate in Mrs. Roosevelt's Waikiki fur
niture factory, was riding with her at
the time. She had remained silent
throughout the incident at the gas
station. She and others to whom the
story was related that day reminded
Mrs. Roosevelt that was the last she
would ever see Of the beggar and the
money.
When Mrs. Roosevelt drove up to
the curb in front of her home about
5 o'clock the next afternoon. one of
the guards on the sidewalk told her
that there had been a bum" asking
for her, and that he had one of her
cards which he insisted she had given
to him with instructions to meet her.
"Of course, I knew the bum was
lying, so I chased him away, before
he started annoying you." the guard
told her with undisguised pride.
Where is he now?" Mrs. Roosevelt
almost shouted in her excitement.
She was informed by the bewildered
guard that the bum" was hanging
around somewhere near the corner.
At the corner she found her tramp
leaning against lamp post. He was
cleanly shaved, and looking as neat
and presentable as his well worn
clothes would permit.

ing, but he did not appear nervous at

long distance telephoning about hav-
ing him placed in the Bear Mountain
camp, near West Point on the Hud-
son. She told him he would be able
to enter the camp in q day or so.
He was grateful and profuse in ex-
pressing his thanks as he turned to-
ward the door.
Where are you going to stay in
the meantime?" Mrs. Roosevelt asked.
Don't worry about that" he said.
Il am used to finding places to Sleep"
Without further ado, Mrs. Roose-
velt said he could occupy one of the
rooms on the top floor Of her home.
She gave instructions to q servant to
show the stranger to the room and to

meals.
Her Household Fearful.
That evening members of the
household and friends almost con-
vinced her she had acted too impul-
sively. She was reminded that the
strange guest might be q murderer
a robber-or worse, a kidnaper. This
last suggestion worried Mrs. Roose-
welt somewhat, because at the time
her daughter, Mrs. Anna Roosevelt
Dali and her two children, "Sistie"
and !"Buzzie," were at the house.
However, Mrs. Roosevelts faith could
not be shaken.
Two days later the beggar entered
the Bear Mountain camp, and he Is
now one of the bosses" handling 200
men. Because Of his own hard work
he was promoted to his present posi-
ton.
He has long since repaid Mrs Roose-
welt the $40. Moreover, he has been
sending each month most of his earn
ings to her to be deposited for him.

Bannister located the newspaper
on the living room table and
opened out the pages. There was
plenty about the King murder, but
there was nothing that Bannister
did not know. 1t gave him a feel
ing Of relief. He was glad to know
nothing important had happened
while he was asleep.
Apparently no one on the rival
newspaper had heard Of Matthew
and Melvina HOLSTERS connection
with the case. At least it was not
mentioned
There was nothing new in the
columns about the murder, but still
Bannister read them eagerly. Half
way through the story of the new
suspect he was interrupted.

1t was his aunt calling and Aunt
Kate would brook no delay at meal
time.
"Coming!" Bannister answered.
An instant later he appeared in the
dining room, the newspaper in his
hand.
The odor of fried ham and coffee
and the French toast won him from
his preoccupation. however.

not another cook like you in the

CHAPTER NINETEEN
THE stream Of yellow sunshine
eo11 -s;~.,41., ,.,,.orz roo-,;5 po,,

THE stream Of yellow sunshine
fell directly across David Ban
nister's face. It wavered gently, as
the curtains at the open window
blew inward; then settled across the
ridge Of Bannister's nose.
The sleeping man wrinkled his
face into a grimace. The sunshine
persisted. Bannister emitted
sound between a grunt and grum-
ole, turned on his side Bannister
looked about him, beWildered.
He was not, as he had been
dreaming, in a subterranean cav
ern. Adele Allen was not beside
him, wearing a green costume, bran
dishing a revolver and threatening
to shoot him if he did not help her
escape from the giant canary bird
pursuing her.
The rest Of the horrid vision
faded and Bannister was tremen-
dously relieved. He was not a MUIR
derer or accused Of murder. Mel
VIVA HOLSTER was not there, nor a
iaunty vaudeville singer who said
his name was Carney
Bannister sat up with a start.
The though Of Gainey brought the
events Of the preceding day before
him clearly.
Bannister pulled his wrist watch
toward him and saw that it was
nearly $50. A fine hour to be
waking! Gainey had been on the
job for at least half an hour. Prob
ably longer. Yes, a fine hour it was
to be getting up and a fine lot of
help he, David Bannister, was to
the Post.
But by the time he had finished
his shower David Bannister's spirits
were rising. He could hardly wait
to see the morning newspaper to
find out if any new developments
in the murder had been reported.
He came downstairs whistling,
crossed the dining room and. ap-
peared in the kitchen doorway.
Morning, Aunt Kate!"

1T is the ape-nlan," cried one Of the priests.
He has escaped" With their knotted cudgels
and their wicked knives they advanced down the
corridor. Tarzan fell back, for even he, armed
only with knife was no match for six of these
savage half-men with their heavy cudgels.

He passed several doors without stopping At
last he paused before one secured by huge

door and stepped within just as the leader Of the
priests came into view at the intersection of the
corridor.

AS he retreated, plan formed in his alert
mind When he reached the transverse corridor,
he backed slowly into it. knowing that now he
was hidden from them they would come very
slowly. he turned and ran swiftly along the cor
ridor.

There was a slight noise behind
them and Bannister turned. The
door into the next room had
opened and a man stood on the
threshold. He was under average
height-a little man with thinning
gray hair and mild eyes behind
spectacles. For an instant he stood
there, cycling the group in some
perpleXity.
