joker.
He came up beside me, sticking
a gun-butt in my hand.
Hide it," he Missed. and, when
1 had pocketed that one, gave me
another, producing them with his
free hand from under his coat.
Then he actually showed me the
loot. It was still in the boxes and
bags in which it had been carried
from the banks. He insisted on
opening some of them to show me
the money-green bundles belted
with the banks yellow wrappers
The boxes and bags were stacked
in a small brick cell that was
fitted with q padlocked door, to
which he had the key.
He closed the door when we
were through looking. but he did
not lock it, and he led me back
part of the way we had come.
THAT, as you see, is the money"
he said. Nov for those devils.
You will stand here, hiding behind
these boxes"
CHAPTER XII
A partition divided the cellar
in half. 1t was pierced by door,
way that had no door. The place
the old man told me to hide was
close beside this doorway, be-
tween the partition and four
packing-caSes. Hiding there, I
would be to the right Of. and a
little behind, anyone who came
downstairs and walked through
the cellar toward the cell that
held the money. That is, I would
be in that position when they
went to go through the doorway
in the partition.
The old man was fumbling be-
meath one Of the boxes. He
brought out an 18-inch length Of
lead pipe stuffed in similar
length of black garden hose. He
gave this to me as he explained
everything.
They will come down here one
at a time. When they are about
to go through this door, you will
know what to do with this. And
then you will have them, and 1
will have your promise. Is it not

"Oh, yes," I said, all up in the
air.
He went upstairs. I crouched
behind the boxes, examining the
guns he had given me-and I'm
damned if I could find anything
wrong with them. They were
loaded and they seemed to be in
working order. That finishing
touch completely balled me up. l

cellar or a balloon.
When Red O'Leary. still naked
except for pants and bandage,
came into the cellar, 1 had to
shake my head violently to clear
it in time to bat him across the

bare foot stepped through the
doorway. He Sprawled down on
his face.
The old man Scurried down the
steps, full of grins.
Hurry! Hurry" he painted,
helping me drag the redhead back
into the money cell. Then he pro-
duced two pieces of cord and
tied the giant hand and foot.

 of Old South

With an outstanding cast, headed by the charming and popular Jan ct Gaynor and Lionel Barrymors, ,'Carolina," current. attraction at the Capitol Theatre, furnishes fss- cinating entertainment for every member of the family A
 With a fine, clean story, and drama -tinged romance, "Carolina" has an atmosphere of charming and simple sincerity.

JACK HOLT HAS DRAMATIC ROLE
 IN WHIRLPOOL

Jack Holt, perennially the popu- lar screen idol of thousands of the ater-goers, has clicked again in Columbia's whirlpool" his newest starring vehicle which opened yes- terday at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Fast moving and well-knit, the plot concerns the career of Buck Rankin, a smallltine. carnival own- CT, who, while wedding chimes are still loud in his ears finds himself sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty years on charge of man slaughter
 His bride, Helen, swears by their love that she will await his re- lease. Realizing the injustice with which this course of action would burden her, Rankin forges the war den's name to a letter informing his wife that he has been drowned in an attempted escape.
 At the expiration of his term he assumes a new identity with the help of his former aide, Mac, an amusing hypochondriac, and be- comes the mysterious and greatly feared Duke Sheldon, gambling czar and gang leader.
 Helen has married Superior Court judge, and her daughter, Sandra, Sheldon's child, has be- come a newspaper woman. Sent to interview Sheldon, the girl recog- nizes him as her father from an old picture her mother has pre- served.
 The story speeds on to a tense dramatic Announcement in which Sheldon makes a tremendous sacri- flee to protect his former wife and his daughter from ruinous exposure.
 Holt delivers a telling perform ance as Rankin, and later as Shel- don, squeezing everything possible out of his part.
 Allen Jenkins, as "Mac," gives his usual more than adequate por- trayal, and Jean Arthur is con- vincing as "Sandra."

 Such a doubter, apparently, is MT. Lewis Douglas, who has just left as budget director because he is apprehensive of the effects of continued large-scale spending.
 He does not talk about the con- stitution; he is quite willingslto let the past bury it's social concepts and his friends hardly can see him enlisting with MT. Hoover. But he is interested in national Solvency.
 The problem troubling MT Roose- velts opponents today is not the arousing of opposition sentiment, which they are convinced already exist in appreciable strength. Their problem is the organization of that sentiment and the elimination of difficulties among themselves.
 To MT. Roosevelt's partisans the dilemma of their enemies appears wholly impossible of solution. That is why they show so little worry about the outcome.

NEW YORK, January 20.-Stocks
churned through an active Saturday
market today, finishing with balance
of net gains Heavy realizing was en-
countered and some Of the leaders
closed lower, but taking the listN as
whole, advances outnumbered losses
nearly two to one. Transactions, total
ing 1954 440 shares. were the largest
for week end session since July.
- In bonds, the improvement was gen.
orally maintained though there. too,
realizing slowed down the rally. Grains
and cotton reacted slightly and the
dollar was higher against sterling and
gold currencies
During the first hour stocks pro-
gressed from steadiness to firmness.
Later the cashing of profits became a
bit heavier, but demand for steel issues
Increased and that group, with alcohols,
metals and utilities, was holding the
fort for the bulls as the market closed.
Some rails were down after week Of
rising prices.
Public Buying Increases.
Shares now are back to the levels Of
1id-September, which means that the
ground lost during the reaction Of last
Fall and early Winter has been re-
gained. Some brokerage houses are
looking for a setback, on technical
grounds if no other, but they point out
that recent markets have shown little
inclination to rest a while. Public par
ticipation presumably has increased.

fact that the advance now follows De-
