"How did you get here. Bob?" he
asked.
II couldn't stick it, sitting round
the hotel at Salzburg - Wolf went to
Rodenbach, to keep an eye on Bartels'
villa there. So drove here. What's
that?''
A muffled knocking from the floor
below was audible in the surrounding
silence. The two men ran downstairs.
The sound led them to a cupboard in
the hall. A figure swathed like a
mummy was there 1t was shaggy
man in shirt sleeves and a denim
apron, hands bound, a towel thrust
into his mouth. "It's the caretaker"
cried Ned as they released him.
Max was rather incoherent. Return
ing from seeing Madame to the gate,
he had met stranger outside the blue
pavilion, who enquired about rooms.
Max explained that the pension was
not yet open, on which the stranger
had turned away, but the next mo-
ment had dealt him crashing blow on
the head with some soft. heavy imple-
ment, sand-bag or a rubber club.
What did he look like?" Dallas
wanted to know.
1t was a fat man with a red face
Max explained.
Dallas drove his fist into his palm.
"Bartels" he declared. And he has
snatched Faner'
They questioned Max about Fame.
Madame. who had stayed at the pen
sion before, had brought Fame there
some weeks ago. The young gentleman
spent most of the time in his room. on
account of his accident.
What accident?" Dallas snapped.
The Herr had arrived with his head
in bandages - he had been in a bad
automobile smash, Madame had said.
For time doctor had come every
day from Baden-Baden to dress his
injuries - the young gentleman still
wore a bandage under his cap.
Ned and Dallas left the caretaker
and entered one of the ground floor
rooms. Fame was wearing a ski cap
when saw him this afternoon" said
the Major. His manner was very odd
- at first l thought he had been
drinking. But l guess he was still
groggy from the effects OF his acci-
dent"
Accident, my FOOT" Dallas
growled. HE was slugged. the same
as the Jap, that night at Hamburg.
l believe that Clubfoot. tipped off by
the little Madame about Fane's mis-
sion, switched the rendezvous from
the Astoria to that Helga dive. They
sent a fake letter to Akawa at the
boat and afterwards telephoned Fame
in Akawa's name to come to the cafe"
why did they have to bring Fame
to the Helga? After all, Akawa had the
plans
"Grundt wasn't going to risk Fane's
Akawa's disappearance be-
fore he got clear with the plans. The
German police were after him, re-
member"
why didn't Grundt knock off the
pair of them?"
Dallas shrugged his shoulders. II
don't think he meant either of them
to be killed. But some of these Orien-
tails have mighty thin skulls and
daresay Ole Jansen, who presumably
did the slugging, hit too hard. Fame
was luckier. suspect that the blood
marks l found in the bedroom were
his"
Then the kids cleared?"
Il think so"
"In that case, why does he stick
around with this dame?"

That's where Bartels is bound for with

The caretaker appeared in a panic.
"PoIizeir he gasped, There were
voices and lights outside. Dallas sprang
to the window and peered out. Its
Brewer - it's the Fedsr' he ex-
claimed. Come on, Ned"
To the loud trampling of feet they
whirled through the hall and out at the
back, sped through the grounds and
did not relax their pace until they
had reached the road. The rain fell
pitilessly. They had to trudge it back
to the city. for Dallas had dismissed
the taxi that brought him and the
Major had only his bicycle, which he
abandoned without regrets. AS they
plodded along Robin said. II wonder
what chance we have Of getting to
Rodenbach tonight"
Ned cleared his throat. why don't
we f1y?'
There's no service, even to Salz-
burg"
"And if told you that Miss Fane's
here with her plane?"
Apprehensively the Major awaited
the expected explosion Instead, with
joyful incredulousness, his companion
cried. mop"
Sure. She flew me down here"
Dallas was jubilant. What mar
vellous luck! Bartels, we know, is
travelling by road - even with the
start he has, we should be at the Villa
Friedl before him. Where's Miss Fame
stopping?"
''At the Excelsior
Outside the hotel Ned halted to
show an elegant convertible parked
there. "Her car. She had it driven on
from Paris. It's ready for the road,
German license plates. and Iiptychs.
They did not wait to be apr ounced
but went straight up to the girls
suite. Mrs. Evans, Patricia's S elderly
maid. seemed surprised by the Majors
enquiry. Hadn't he seen Miss Fame?
With growing CONSERVATION they
heard the story of Miss Fane's visitor
whom the maid had taken to be Major
Hartigan, and how, having telephoned
the airport to hold the plane in readi-
ness, Patricia had departed with the
ships papers and not reappeared. The
maid. however, did not seem alarmed:
"Once my young lady gets up in that
blessed ship of hers, there's no KNOWN
when we'll see her again."
Bob, what does it mean?" the
Major demanded as they turned away.
'It means that they've snat ched her
and it's your doing" was the savage
answer. II warned you; | did my
damnedest to keep her out of danger.
If anything's happened to her. Ned,
III never forgive you" He rushed off.
A cold nose was thrust into the
Majors hand. 1t was the Sealyham,
whining with eagerness. Ned petted
the dog. "Okay, Phil, old man." he
murmured. We're going to find her"
Outside, Dallas was dark shadow
silhouetted by the lighted dash of
Patricia's car Where now?" Har-
tigan demanded, clambering in.
"Airport," was the curt reply.

Widows Plea.

NEW YORK, February i5.-The
handwritten, unwitnessed will Of the
late Thomas A. Edison, jr., son Of the
inventor, failed in court today to sus-
tain his widows claim to 80 per cent
Of q $4,000 trust fund left him
by his noted father.
Supreme Court Justice Charles B.
Mclaughlin, ruling upon an applica-
ton of the Central Hanover Bank 81

d Ing claims to the fund, held the will
to be void and ruled that Mrs. Beatrice
Edison, the widow, was entitled to 50
per cent of the trust fund, plus $10,-
900 under the interstate statutes Of
New York State.
Justice Mclaughlin held to be "un-
warranted" a claim by five brothers
and sisters of the younger Edison that
his widow was not the next of kin
under terms of the trust agreement
between the elder Edison and the
trust company.
The Junior Edison died August Is,
1888. leaving the unwitnessed will dis
posing Of 80 per cent of the trust
fund to his widow. Because of i'm
proper execution, Justice Mclaughlin
held, 1t was void.
Inventor Edison created the trust
October 2, 1925, and turned over to
the trust company four United States
Treasury certificates, consisting of 4l2
per cent coupon bonds. The bonds
now have market value Of $140,-
o57,5o. the trust company said.
The trust agreement provided that
the younger Edison should have use
of the fund throughout his life and
the right to dispose of 1t as he saw
at in his will In event he died inteS-
tate. the agreement stipulated, the
fund was to be distributed under the
laws of New York State.

z|ONCHECK APPEAL
IS FILED IN COURT
Attorneys for Representa-
tive Report New Evidence
to Disprove Charges.

Charging misconduct by an assist
ant corporation counsel; assert
ing that his conviction was con-
trary to the facts and to the law,
and claiming to have new evidence
tending to show he was neither drunk
nor disorderly, Representative Marion
A. Zioncheck, Democrat, of Washing
ton. today filed q motion for a new
trial In Police Court.
The Representative was found guilty
on January 8 of having been drunk
and disorderly on New Year eve. Police
Court Judge Walter J. Casey assessed
SIS fine after testimony concerning a
"bell-ringing spree" in an apartment
house at 270l Connecticut avenue.
Zioncheck did not appear in court
today. being represented by the law
firm Of King & Brode. Hearing on
the motion and argument on petition
and brief was set for February %.
At the first trial, zioncheck took the
stand in his own defense and kept the
courtroom in an uproar with his gibes
at the arresting officer and the corpo-
ration counsel. He admitted plugging
in all telephones on eight trunk lines
into the apartment house "in an effort
to summon the janitor" He said he
had attended New Year Eve party
and had "a few drinks of gin-good
GIN" He denied, however, that he
was drunk when he started ringing
bells.
Judge Casey, after finding zionchecK
guilty, set the fine at SIS and started
to say he would take the personal bond
of the defendant but was stopped by
Robert I. Miller, the then attorney for
Zioncheck, who said he would demand
q new trial. When Miller later at
tempted to file the motion. he was in
formed by zioncheck through the
court clerk that he was no longer IL
the case.

HOUSE FURTHERS
SUPPLY MEASURES
Zioncheck Urges ST Year
Salary for Farley and
Calls Him Nuisance.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
| The 1857, 7,534,514 deficiency bill to-
| day awaited only the signature Of
President Roosevelt to become law.
The measure was sent to the Presi-
dent yesterday by the House, which
also dispatched the $685., ,673, ,829 Treas
ury-Post Office supply bill to the Sem
ate after an argument over Postmaster
General Farley.
There were no record votes. The
deficiency bill, carrying s196,185,0 900 to
pay Government obligations under the
| invalidated A. A. A. and some S42,-
100000 for the new social security
program, was approved without even
the formality of reading a conference
report on the bill.
After Representative Taber of New
York, ranking Appropriations Commit
tee Republican, had charged that un-
der Prince of Bourbon Farley" the
Post Office Department was being
managed so per cent worse than it
was four years ago, Representative
zioncheck, Democrat, of Washington
proposed an amendment to reduce the
Postmaster Generals salary to 81 for
the year.
Calls Farley Nuisance.
He strobe to the we'll of the House
and dubbed Farley neither useful nor
ornamental and a distinct nuisance"
Then explaining he knew he couldn't
hope to cut Farley's salary, zioncheck
withdrew his amendment.
Farley, who also is chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. was
not without his defenders.
Representative Blanton. Democrat,
of Texas. termed him "a darned good
scout" Chairman Mead of the Post
Office Committee praised the Post
Office Departments successful opera
tions under Farley, in contrast, he
said, with 1929-30 days when 'expendi-
lures were running wild" and workers
couldn't go to the department heads
with their grievances.
A $4,000 increase was made for
additional clerk hire in the postal in
spection service-the only amendment
adopted.
Gain of S29, ,50O,00O
Fourth of a dozen money bills of
the session to be disposed of in the
House, which originates them, the
combination measure carried SILL
4S3, Jas for the Treasury and S778,-
1906 for the Post Office. The COM
bined total was approximately s29,-
100000 above 1886 allowances, ac-
counted for by such items as S40o, 900
for the Alcohol Administration, re-
Gently put under the Treasury, and for
other new activities, and the 40-hour
week in the postal service
1t was, however. nearly $4,000, 900
under budget estimates.
The deficiency bill, carrying funds
for administration of motor vehicle,
utility control and other laws enacted
last session, was primarily to supply
funds denied them when the third de-
ficiency measure of last session was
killed.
A total of s14,5s1, ,013 was added by
the Senate and approved in confer
ence, including around $4,000, 900 for
administering the soldier bonus pay
ments through the Veterans Admin
istration and the Treasury. and ST.
276,709 for forest fire control.
