BABY IN ST0RK
DERBY DIES0F
INFLUENZA

TORONTO, Ontario, Oct. 30
ON.SO-Death stepped from the
sidelines of the Toronto Stork
Derby today to strike down one
eligible child while life struggled
to provide new births in the
grotesQue $775,000 baby-race spon-
sored by the last testament of the
eccentric Charles Vance Millar,
Toronto attorney.
The little victim was Blanche
Timlack, whose advent six months
ago brought hope of fortune as
we'll as parental pride to two of
the contestants, Mr.. and Mrs. Ar
thur Timleck.
The baby girl died in Toronto
Hospital where she was rushed
after contracting influenza. Her
death came on the eve of compile
tion of the mad race, initiated by
the death ten years ago of Millar.
The race ends tomorrow.
In his will Millar specified that
the huge hum set aside would go
to the Toronto parents to whom,
in the 10 years following his
death, we're born the largest num-
ber of registered babies.
Although death of the Timleck
baby will not affect the standing
of her parents in the derby, since
the will did not stipulate that the
children must be living at the end
of the 10-year period. parental
pride and visions of luxury we're
dispelled by grief in the Timleck
household today.
Mrs. Timleck, mother of II chill
dren in 18 years, sobbed openly.
She cried:
"It seems the irony Of fate
that our baby should be buried
tomorrow, the day this thing
ends"
The child the couple lost was
the last the family intended to
have. It was their tenth baby
eligible for competition in the
Millar Derby.
Meanwhile, as each passing
moment brought conclusion Of
the. strange rivalry ever nearer,
the harassed stork was beating
his wings over the roof-tops of
three confident contestants.
Mrs. Martin Kenny has an
nounced that she is expecting, at
any time, the arrival of a twelfth
eligible child. Her alleged fail
ure to make proper registration
of all the births may cut this
total by two.
This would reduce her to a tie
with Mrs. Grace Bagnato, supreme
ly confident in her belief that an
other child, her tenth, will be born
to her today or tomorrow. How
ever, Mrs. Bagnato's total likewise
may be reduced by reported failure
to register two previous births.
Still very much in the running
is Mrs. Peter Romas, new entry,
whose hopes flame high, although
she is the mother of "only seven"
babies in the last 10 years. Mrs.
Romas is convinced that, today or
tomorrow. she will add to her
brood with a set of twinS-at least.

Dallas nodded.
Then Clubfoot told only half the
truth. She brought Fame there. but
Fame never left - they killed him."
Dallas shook his head. IL think that
Grundt told us the whole truth -
about Fane!'
Then what do these bloodstains
signify?'
Dallas's voice sank to a whisper.
"Akawa" he said. There was mans
hat up there, the lining soaked with
blood. 1t was bought in Sydney -
the makers name is inside Akawa's
ship called at Sydney
"Ach, du lieber GoW And where was
Fame while this was going on?"
Dallas shrugged. "At some time OF
other that night he was in that upper
ROOM" He fished in his pocket and
showed a couple of cigarette stubs.
Those are American cigarettes,
Wolf" He pointed at part of the
lettering which appeared on one.
From another pocket Dallas drew a
match folder, bearing the advertise
ment of a London hotel About half
of the matches had been torn from the
strip. "Fane's left-handed - his sister
told me-" Dallas explained. His finger
touched the strip; on the right it was
still intact - the matches had been
torn away from the left
Wolf gazed at him in dismay But
surely you don't think that young
Fame had anything to do with this
crime?"
Directly. nor'
Isn't it more probable that they
killed him, too?"
Dallas sighed. I'D like to think so
If only for his sisters sake. But
Fane's alive, feel sure. and Grundt
knows where he is
What makes you think that?"
asked Wolf.
Il believe Grundt was perfectly
honest when he told US that Fame
didn't interest him. But the moment
he discovered that the Fanes have
money his tone changed. There was
no more talk of the plans, and he said
it was going to be very difficult to get
into touch with the Lassagne woman.
Which is sheer moonshine. as she is
obviously his agent"
Then what's his game?"
Il don't know - yet," Dallas re-
piled. Its unfortunate that Grundt
got away, but at least we know that
whenever We pick up his trail again,
it will lead us straight to the woman.
I'm not waiting for that, however.
You shall go to Berlin to meet your
friend, but am pushing on to Paris.
That's where Fane's trail ended and
can't think why we haven't heard
from Ned"
There was no train out before 5.45
in the morning. 1t would reach Berlin,
they discovered, in time to allow
Dallas to catch the morning plane for
Paris. Dallas left Wolf in the waiting
room at the railway station while he
returned to the Astoria. 1t was risky,
he conceded. but he wanted to make
sure there was no word from Ned to
upset their plan.
In an hour he was back Step on
