through his pockets. No gun but
long bladed, vicious looking stiletto
came from under Ramos armpit;
that and wallet from inside his coat
which was bulky with papers.
"Therell be evidence in this" Niles
thought girmly and slipped it away.

cautious tones. "I'm coming for you

longer.
"You consult your watch?" inquired
Ramos. He smiled cruelty. when
it is midnight then you will be taken
downstairs. But the lady goes first.
1t is always we'll to remember the
courtesies."
One hour in which to work. The
thought was agony. Niles eyes went
to the barred skylight overhead and
then slid over to Ramos. The Span
lard was seated at the small table,
lounging and passing his hand over
his sleek black hair. He was preen-
ing himself like a cat. Slowly Niles
put his feet to the floor and hunched
himself forward on the edge Of the
bed. If Ramos would only put his
right hand up to smooth his hair
again
He did. Niles body shot out as
though PROJECTED from catapult and
he landed squarely on his feet. His
fist, jerking upward from his side,
thudded into the neck of Ramos I'M
der his exposed left ear. The Span
lard was fairly rocked back into his
chair by the force Of the blow. His

was on a broad gently sloping eXpanse
of states, and only a few feet from
him he saw the glass trap that led
down into the girls room. The way
to escape lay clear before them. He
had only to pry open the next sky
light, lift Anita out and they could
make their way to the roof of the
next house, and so on down to the
street, as they had done from his flat.
Cautiously he scrambled across the
intervening space and hooked his fin
gers under the rim Of the skylight.
1t was moving silently, inches at a
time. In that instant he stopped,
every fibre tinging. Cold horror
swept over him in wave. From the
room below voice was coming, harsh
and commanding:
80. X. lady The chief wants you
now. Looks like little ride"
1t was the gangster, Benton, speak
ing: and peering through the opening,
Niles saw him standing inside the
door.

him. He is"
"Ssh!" warned Niles. He leaped
from the bed just in time and sat
down on it's edge. Gimpy was enter
ing the room again, cigaret in his
mouth. The brief parley was over
and Niles had learned nothing from
it. Even the girl could give him none
of the information that he had to
have. His eyes darkened with thought
as he sent a glance at the Bangkok
that still rode on Gimp's head. He
himself would be searched again by
the doctor, he realized. He had his
own clothes back on him now. Even
if he could manage to get the card
away from Gimpy that would only
mean discovery of it when hands went
through his clothes. The hat, as his
property, would not be forgotten by
anyone as astute as Doctor Weston.
Il can't risk it yet" he told him
self. cts safer with Gimpy than it
is with me. There's no chance of his
leaving the house.
Time dragged while Niles stayed on
the bed. Gimpy had flung him the
paper and he pretended to bury him
self in its columns.
Damn rotten job this" muttered
Gimpy. "Me, wanta catch some
sleep. That soft bunk O. mine down
in the cellar is calm, -.
"Yes?" said Niles. He wanted
more and more every moment to know
where Gimpy kept himself. "The doc

"He does not" smirked Gimpy. 81

He yawned and got up from his
chair. "My times up" he announced
Almost at once the door opened and
his relief entered. "G'bye, Dick,
grinned Gimpy. Hope l never see
yer again."
1t was Ramos the Spaniard, who haG
come in. Doctor Weston had set over
his prisoner a guard that never re-

the room or in it. Not again would

hours, which had seemed to drag, in
reality had gone by with terrifying
swiftness. 1t was close to eleven
o'clock at night. AS yet he had nc

The door opened cautiously and
closed as soon as Gimpy slid through
it. 1t was locked. Niles was up, his
eyes cleaning qucerly. He had seen
the small ventilator that was located
in the wall near the ceiling. Standing
on the bed, he could just get his face
up to it. The opposite side would
give onto the next room where the
girl was. He brought his lips close
to the metal.
"Anita!" he called softly. "Anita!
Quickly, want to talk to you. Thru

and then the girls voice, low and

She was facing death the same as
he and yet she had confidence in him.
He wanted to tell her many things
but every second was precious. I'm
working on a plan now" he whispered.
"The ace of spades is our big hope.

pulled them down, twisting and the
whole glass of the skylight lay clear.
Niles let himself slip to the floor.
Ramos still lolled, senseless, in the
chair, breathing stentorously and there
was no alarm from outside the door
to indicate that the guard there had
heard anything.
Gripping the extra chair, Niles set
it on the table, mounted it, and brac-
ed hard against the skylight. 1t slid
back in it's groove and rush of cool
night air poured through the open
space.

$500 BLOCK OF 14TH ST.:
Rambling up 14th Street after
a very busy day, I CHANGED upon
an extraordinary apartment.
a one.room, kitchen and bath
for the rental of $38, and a
bachelor apartment Of one room
and bath for $27.50. I was
amazed at the values, and the
tWo-room, kitchen and bath at
$50 was also extremely nice.
The floors were hardwood and
there was a croSS-ventilation OF
air through the apartment. Just
around the corner from one Of
the best high schools and on d.
rect line with upper 14th Street

ment building is very we'll kept
and has many things to recon-
mend it. For further details call

CLARENDON, VA:
A cute little bungalow in Clar-

minutes from Washington on a
splendid highway this is quite
a bargain at $75. Two bed
rooms, breakfast nook. dining
room, living room with fire
place, kitchen equipped with
electric icebox, a front and back
porch and a garage, all help to
make this detached home a real
place to live. The garden in the
rear of the house was beautiful;
lots of vari-colored flowers in
bloom, a riot of colors. The
furniture was in keeping with
the house, and 1 heartily in
dorse your visit to this home if
you wish one of this type.

In a well-kept building of the
smaller type I inspected a very
cozy apartment of two rooms,
kitchen and bath. In first-class
condition, this front apartment
was splendidly arranged and
would provide roomy living quar-
tiers. Close to street car lines
and buses, near to both paro-
chial and public schools, I rec
ommend your inspection. The
rental is $55.

1900 BLOCK OF 18TH ST.:
I have always wanted to live
on downtown 10th Street for
several reasons, one being the
real beauty of the street and the
other the convenient location;
and now, when I have an apart
ment of four rooms, kitchen
and two baths to offer you for
the rental of $50, I certainly
envy the person who gets it.
The rooms were well arranged,
making it possible to have two
bedrooms that can be reached
without going through the bal

and is quite nice.

RAIN IMPROVES
FALL OUTLOOK

A favorable turn in weather
during the week has changed
latent fears regarding the possible
elimination of the greater part Of
the farming communities from
plans for fall and winter dis
tribution into frightened pros
poets, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, re-
ports.
With no extension Of the
drought areas reported for more
than two weeks and with the heat
wave definitely broken, prel1ml'
nary estimates place farm income
at 20 to Is per cent more than it
was a year ago. The reduced grain
yield at present advanced prices,
plus the process tax, will give
farmers more money than last
years larger crop, while the value
of carry-over supplies has been
appreciated, this credit agency
reports.
Although the purchases of the
20 per cent of the farmers sit
uated in the area of the most in
tense devastation will be reduced
to a minimum, with Government
funds practically the only source
of revenue, the other 80 per cent
will be in more affluent position
than they have enjoyed in four

PAY ROLLS DROP
DURING JULY

BY international news SeFVIco
Factory employment declined
$4,000 during July over the pre-
vious month, and pay rolls de-
clined by $1O,46O,Ooo weekly over
the same period, according to fig
ures available today at the Depart
ment of Labor.
The decline marked the third
successive monthly decline, &C
cording to Secretary of Labor
Perkins.
The employment drop aggre.
gated 3 per cent below the June
level while the pay roll decline
was 6.8. Non-manufacturing in
dustries showed a decrease Of Sc
per cent.
In spite of the declines, current
employment and trade indexes are
above last years figures, prompt
ing Miss Perkins to attribute the
decreases to temporary seasonal
conditions and strikes. She said:
"July is normally a month Of
declining employment and pay
rolls. Employment decreases
have been recorded in IL and
pay roll drops in 13 Of the pre-
ceding Is years for which we
have data.
"Strikes, together with drought
and extreme heat, tended to &C
centuate the customary seasonal
decline in July because of inven'
tory taking, repairs and vaca-
tiOnS."
