TOPEKA. Kans.. July 6. UR] -
Gov. ALI NJ. Landon today was
back on the JOB as chief eXecu-
tive Of the state Of Kansas, but was
faced with a problem that drew
new significance because Of his
presidential nomination.
Early tomorrow morning the state
legislators will gather 10 hear Gov
crnor Landon formally open a spe-
cial session dealing with co-Opera-
ton in a new deal program.
The contents ef the governors
address today held chief interest of
political spectators. The governor
must make clear, for possible di-
rection of the legislature, his stand
on the Democratic new deal social
security program.
It was expected he would be en-
phatic on one point, that his earlier

seat beside the driver. Hawley did
not see the latter's face, but he
caught glimpse of something me-
tallic in his hand.
Hawley had opened his mouth to
shout, and had taken a step off the
curb, when he checked himself. He
was directly in front of the bright
ly lighted saloon on the corner. If
the man in the car chose to shoot, the
lieutenant was a perfect target.
The touring car started and still
Hawley dared not move. 1t swung
down the street, swiftly gathering
speed. He could see the faces of
neither the driver nor the man be-
side him.
And then, when the car was less
than a hundred feet away, Hawley
caught glimpse of a white face
framed in the rear window. He saw
it only for an instant; then the mach
inc swung around the corner and was
gone. He was so shocked and amazed
by what he had seen that he hadn't
even thought to get the cars license
number.

"To hell with you!" he cried reck-.
lessly, and lunged toward the beam of
light.
The other man moved faster. Haw-
ley's knees struck the side of the bed
and he fell prone across Kennedy's
body. He had not even touched the
man with the flash.
"You damned fool" the intruder
cried. 81 could have emptied my gun
into you. Stay where you are, or I'll
let you have it."
Hawley barely heard his warning
Certainly he was too keyed up, too
insanely angry, to heed it. Aided
by the momentum of his plunge, he
rolled clear across the bed and onto
the floor at the other side.
He CROPPED around wildly for some
sort of a weapon and barked his
knuckles against the rungs of a chair.
Jerking to his knees, he swung the
chair over his head and hurled it
with all his might at the flashlight.
The light bobbed to one side. The
chair splintered against the chiffon

the darkness and the room roared
with the crash of heavy calibre pis-
tol.
Hawley dropped face downward on
the floor. He had not been hit, but
that shot had brought him to his
senses like dash of cold water. No
one but a crazy man, he told HIM
self, would sit into such losing game
as this.
He lay where he had hurled himself
without moving.
After while he heard the other
man cross the flood toward the win
dow. The blind snapped up. There
was silence for an instant. Then the
thud of knee against the window
casing. A moment later the sound
of man landing on all tours on the
ground below.
A door banged down the hallway.
Some one began to shout in hoarSe
below. There were hurried footsteps
and another door banged.
The lieutenant ran to the window,
climbed over the sill, hung for an in
instant to get his balance and then
let go. He landed easily, for the
distance to the ground could have
been no more than ten feet.
Picking himself up, he looked a.
round. He was in an alley at the
rear of the hotel. A dark figure was
Just swinging out of the passageway
into a poorly lighted side street.
Hawley followed cautiously.
The street was deserted. But the
man he followed had turned to the
right on leaving the alley and Hawley
turned that way, too.
He reached the intersection, hum
dred feet or so from the alley. A
black touring car was parked on the
other side of the street. It's motor
was running and there was man at
the wheel.
Another man was leaping into the

CHAPTER 3

The beam of flashlight slashed
the darkness from point near the
door. 1t shot toward the bed, and
moved slowly back and forth over
Les Kennedy's long body, from the
still face to the feet and back again.
That slow, calm survey was all-re-
vealing. This person who held the
flashlight had murdered Kennedy. He
had poisoned his whiskey asd now
he had come to see if the poison had
done it's work.
Hawley's fingers clenched over his
moist palms. A hot wave of anger
switch. Perhaps he was betrayed by
INDIGESTION and futility. Why, oh!
why, had he not had the foresight to
bring a gun?
He reached cautiously for the light
switch. Perhaps he was betrayed by
the slight crack of a tense muscle, I'M
heard in his own excitement. Per-
haps the other man had been warned
by instinct. At any rate, the beam
of the flash swung abruptly from the
bed into Hawley's eyes. 1t focused
there for an instant and then waver-
ed.
Blinded though he was by the direct
rays, Hawley knew that the other
man was shifting his light to his
left hand. In another instant he'd
have gun in his right.
Hawley acted instinctively, impul-
sively. He leaped across the room
and dove at the point where he sup
posed the intruder's legs to be. He
brought up crashingly against the
wall, on hands and knees, all the
breath knocked out of him.
A terse voice commanded: STEADY,
Stay where you are. I've got you
covered. l don't want to have to kill
YOU"
The lieutenant swung on all tours.
The light was bright in his eyes.

NoNE MAO MCW"4y G cEAHsESs

For the person who had peered out
of that rear window had been Judith
Whalen!
Judith Whalen, kidnapped!
That, naturally, was Phil Haw-
leys first thought. Had he not just
stumbled on a murdered man? Had
he not been close to death himself ?
Was it not natural, then, that his
mind should run to violence?
Hurrying into the cantina on the
corner, Hawle found telephone and
called the commandments quarters.
Suddenly he was filled with misgiv-
ing. Suppose he had been mistak-
en-, and the woman in the car had
not been Judith after all. Suppose
Judith was safe at home. What
would Captain Whalen say on being
reused from bed at 1 o'clock in the
morning?
The operator got the call through
and finally Hawley heard the cap
tain's voice, gruff and sleepy:
Captain Whalen speaking"
Captain, this is Lieutenant Haw-
ley"
Eyes, Hawley."
The commandments voice was less
sleepy, but certainly more gruff.
Hawley's own was shaky and indie
cisive as he said:
Captain, is Judith at home?"
"What?"
Il say, is Judith at home, sir?"
What in hell is wrong with you?"
the captain roared. "You know very
we'll you brought Judith home an
hour ago. You must be drunk"
"I'm not drunk, captain. But I
have every reason to believe that your
daughter has been kidnapped"
kidnapped. If you're not drunk,
you're crazy! How the devil could
Judith be kidnapped out of my quar-
tiers in the middle of the night?"
Il can't answer that, sir. But I'm
certain I saw her in car in Colon
not three minutes ago. And in a car
with murderer"
with a-murderer!" Whalen slut
tered. "Say, what kind of rot are
you talking?"
ut isn't rot, captain. I'm giving
it to you straight, sir. Les Kennedy
has been murdered. I stumbled on
his body in his hotel here in Colon"
Lies Kennedy murdered" There
was long pause. "Well, what's that
got to do with JUDITH"
"The man who killed Kennedy-at
least, I think it was the man who
killed him-got into car in front of
the Hotel Nacional. Pm certain Jud-
it'll was in that car. I saw her,
SIR"
"Hawley, you're drunk" the cap
tain beloved. "You get out here to
your quarters. I'll see you in the
morning"
"I'm not drunk" Hawley retorted
angrily. 81 know I'll take the conse-
quences. I tell you Judith has been
kidnapped"

There was a brief silence The
lieutenant waited tensely. Finally
Whalen snapped:
"Wait a minute I'll see if she's
here"
Hawley sighed with relief. After
a brief wait he heard Captain Whal-
en- clearing his throat. The lieuten-
ants heart skipped beat and then
began to pound.
"Hawley, you still there?"
Eyes, sir"
II thought maybe you'd hung up.
See here, you fool! Judith is sound
asleep in bed"
Sound asleep-in bed!"
"You heard me. Sound asleep in
bed!" Whalen barked. "Now you
get out to the base Immediately and
consider yourself confined to your
quarters until you sober up. And if
you ever wake me up in the middle Of
the night to tell me a cock-and-bull
story about murders and kidnappings
I'll give you general court. Good
night"
Dazedly, Hawley hung up the re-
ceiver How could he have made such
mistake? The light had been good
and the face in the automobile had
been clearly visible. Yes, and he had
even seen the girls dress, the red
dress that Judith had been wearing
that night.
Was it possible that there was an
other woman in Colon who looked eX-
actly like Judith Whalen? And that,
by some coincidence, she CHANGED to
be wearing red dress?
The idea was absurd!
Hawley pulled out his watch. It
was just four minutes after one.
Just four minutes had elapsed since
he had seen Judith Whalen whirled
down the street in that black touring
car. And now she was home in bed.
From Colon to the air station, dis
lance of six miles, in less than four
minutes. Something was wrong
somewhere.
Hawley got into Docs car and
drove over to the Palais Royale. He
found the cabaret crowded with tour
lists and enlisted men from the forts
and naval stations. The air was
heavy with smoke and raucous with
hundred voices. He located small
table at one side, well away from the
dance floor and called waiter.
''Is Georgette here?" he asked.
The Negro grinned in a friendly,
knowing way that was vaguely Of
fensive. She's in her dressing room,
sir. She just finished number"
"Tell her that Lieutenant Hawley
would like to see her."
"Yessir! You want something to
drink, sir?"
"No. Bring me sandwich. But
take that message to Georgette first"
"Yessir. Right away, sir"
Hawley glanced over the crowd.
He recognized no one, and was rel
lieved. He didn't want to be bothered
by any pleasure bent friends. He
wanted to talk to Georgette and talk
to her straight and without interrupt
ton.
But now, that he thought of it,
what was he to say to her? He found

The government airmen who rained
bombs on several airdromes said they
had destroyed rebel fuel stores, keep
ing Fascist planes on the ground.
Loyal aviators were ordered to bomb
the rebel center Of Melilla, Spanish
Morocco.
Claims Of rebel victories were heard
over the radio from stations in the
hands of insurgents. No confirmation
of such victories was made by the
government, however.
(Sources outside Spain received re-
ports the rebels were achieving sue
cesses in the far north and in the
southern portion of the peninsular
country)
Madrid Is Patrolled.
Socialist and Communist groups
patrolled Madrid in tireless lookout
for Fascists.
One militiaman said, II have been
keeping on for 86 hours. To tell the
truth. I have slept only two hours
during this time"
Any attempt by Fascists to concen-
trate in the capital was frustrated by
the constant vigilance of the militia.
The militia also played large role
in the capture of Alcala de Henares,
Guadalajara and other towns. One
thousand of the men co-operated in
the attack on Guadalajara.
An eyewitness to this encounter
reported: THE attack did not start
until We had IL field guns brought
from Alcala de Henares.

Then another group of rebels fed.
Shouts of Viva Republican fol-
lowed.
I'VE waited 10 minutes for q reac-
ton from the rebels. When the loyal
men drew nearer to the bridge before
Guadalajara), the rebels opened fire
with machine guns.
Real Fight Is Begun.
1.-THE artillery fired 20 volleys and
the real fight was begun. Our three
tanks advanced slowly and swept the
railroad station and the slope of the
hill.
"A truck with wounded militiamen
passed by me. They were taken to the
Red Cross Hospital at Alcala de He
mares.
THE artillery laid down a box bar
rage ahead of the fleeing rebels.
Meanwhile our machine guns, rifles
and tanks swept the bridge and the
railroad station. Occasional shots in
reply were fired by the rebels and sew
eral more men in our ranks were
wounded.
still the rebels refused to surrender.
"Our field pieces were silent for a
while, but all at once they began q
rapid fire toward the town. We in
creased our rifle and machine gun fire
I'VE came nearer the rebels. Our
men held their ranks, defying the in
tense fire directed against them.
We could see with our field glasses
how the buildings Of the town were
destroyed.
Loyal Men Cross River.
Then our loyal men crossed the
river.
They marched through it with the
water reaching their necks. Our line
was 3 kilometers (about 2 niles long
as we faced the railroad station.
I'VE had had no rest for three days.
Still, however, our militiamen acted
as real soldiers used to the hardships
of war should act.
Suddenly the guns of our men
echoed across the battlefield.
Our advance patrols had already
entered the city. Our officers en-
couraged us.
I'VE seized the railroad station and
the aviation school in which the rebels
had taken refuge.
