prevent any move He had heard
about this room and he wasn't taking
any chances.
Stick EN- up an keep EN- high"
he ordered as he shut the windows
behind him.
The Judge. without change of
expression. slowly raised his hands.
but the fingers of his right hand
circled the arm of the chair before
he raised it above his head.
The man with the gun sat down
on the edge of a chair facing the
Judge and leaned forward. His small,
beady eyes glittered triumpkantly.
Judge" he said. i guess you
know why I've come"
Surely" said the judge easily. as
if he had been expecting this call.
You've come to kill me. And you're
Joe Speri. sometimes known as
Butcher Boy. because you do most
of the gun work for that gang of
Ricco's"
HUH" The man with the gun
grunted uneasily He hadn't expected
such quick recognition. Leave RiCCO
and the gang out of this he snarled.
And don't be so certain of yourself.
You amt slttin' so easy right now,
you know
The Judge looked at Speri. Con-
tempt was in his level gaze. "Ricco
sent you, I presumed" he inquired
carelessly. He glanced toward the
window as though expecting some
| body.
Speri nodded savagely. Right the
first time. Judge" His lips twisted
into a grin. "Ricco sent me-to do
some of that gun work you was
speakin' about It'll be the easiest
job I ever did"
And also the last, Speri," the
judge said quietly.
Speri sat up. What do you mean?"
he Sneered.
DO you see that dial there, Speri?"
the judge asked negligently. pointing
to a dial set into the wall close
above his head well. that dial
opens a safe. And in that safe is
your end. and the end of all that
gang of Ricco's."
Speri stared, his small eyes gilt
tering. Go on, Judge, explain your

had it?" Speri asked skeptically.
Because I knew it was better this
way" snapped the judge.
"Okay. then open it." The muzzle
of the gun was only few inches
from the judges heart.
For a second the jurist hesitated,
then he stepped to the wall and
twisted the dial. He SMILED. then
his hand wavered. He turned and
said: I've forgotten the combina-

Don't you have it written DOWN.

He stopped. A paroxysm Of hatred
fleXed his face. How hate you.
Every night for year in the big house

His finger was on the trigger. The
judge blanched. for he felt death
was imminent. Again his eyes strayed
to the window and this time Speri
followed his gaze. A face was pressed
against the pane. Speri turned and
raced from the room. making for the
rear door AS the police squad came
through the French window the judge
sank weakly back into the chair. He
motioned toward the rear. Next came
the sound of shots. The squad leader
re-entered the room where the judge
sat He smiled. We got him, judge" ="
The Judge nodded. The squad leader
felt under the arm of the chair and
tapped the button concealed there.
Then he walked to the dial of the
safe" looked at it carefully and ex-
claimed: Both alarms worked. judge

that used for air conditioning the
modern home.
The new Ford heater embOdies
an entirely new principle in motor
car heater design. 1t is built like
a boiler, with "a flues, each Is
inches in length, providing almost
500 square inches of heat radiat-
ing surface. The unit is a rigid,
integral part of the engine ex-
haust line. The extremely hot ex-
haust gases from the engine are
passed through the flue tubes.
Fresh air forced through the
heater by the fan is blown around
the outside of these tubes. instant

car.
The heat register is installed

button controlling a valve in the
intake pipe which may be operat-
ed by the foot.
The heat supply also can be
directed to any part of the front
compartment. Provision is made
for the installation of a second
heat register in the floor of the
tonneau if required.

It Is estimated that the 1889 nom
Federal allotments made from the
original fund win create 465. 5.000. 900

construction sites. An even greater
Smount of indirect and industrial
employment will be created by these

ects Is estimated to be more than
5000, 900 900.
The difference between the amount
to be advanced by p. w. A. and the
final cost is due TO the fact that ,l22
out of the 2,3Ss allotments were
grants only of so per cent of the cost
of labor and materials to be used on

These grants total s47,628, ,s48,
They are outright gifts from the Fed

mainder of the money required for
