Then, following Carrington's itin- erary, she crossed the great bridge into Oakland and spent the day there. The three days proved a tire- some grind, and at the close of the last Martha tumbled onto the made-up berth and dropped of to sleep almost instantly. When she opened her eyes the sun was streaming into the trailer. But it was not the sunshine which had awakened her. There had been a distant tapping at the rear win- dow. Looking up she saw the smiling face of Gerry Neal
 Breakfast ready?"
 At the sound of his voice, Mar thas heart rose in her throat and whirred there like 8 frightened quail. She knew in that magic mo- ment that all along she had want ed him to follow her = and been afraid he might not. She knew that despite all her anger and all her suspicious, she had wanted to see him again.
 Hurriedly she drew on her dressing gown, and went to the window.
 "I'll wait 10 minutes" Gerry told her. "JuSt one cigaret."
 How did you know where to find me?"
 Neal grinned. You showed me your itinerary. And I've known where you were. When l found you'd left the hotel I telephoned the Bridge Auto Park. I was mighty relieved when they said you were there. I was afraid per- haps you'd started north against my advice. You leave this morn ing, don't you?"
 T should have left an hour ago."
 "You mean we should" Neal smiled. Better start the coffee" Without answering, Martha turn ed from the window. It was nearer 20 minutes than 10 when she had dressed and made toast and coffee. But near the opened trailer door Neal was still waiting patiently.
 "All set?"
 You're invited to breakfast" Martha said. But not to go with me. And I'll have to hurry"
 Neal entered the trailer and sat down before the table, watching her pour the coffee. You don't mean that"
 q do, though. I've a job to do You've said that the best thing fol me is to keep on for the Airspeed Trailer Company. I can do that by myself. And you're no help. ing me tq find Betty"
 He was silent a moment, stil watching her delft hands. "Youl next stop is at Eureka, isn't it?"
 "Yes."
 "There're some lonely stretches on those northern California roads You'd better let me come along"
 Martha sat down, pushed the lever on the automatic toaster San Francisco seems really boom ing. Why don't you try to find jot and settle down?"
 My job is to see you out oi this" He reached across the table took her hand, holding it tightly Look here, Martha-that night at the hotel I stopped pretending Why don't you stop 1t, too?"
 T -I don't know what you tmean."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-08

[ "Yes. you do. Martha. You haven't the slightest reason to be- Leve in me, but you have believed in me. I've been evasive and se- cretive, but you've trusted me Why? Why have you done that?'
 Because I want to find Betty. Martha said.
 Neal shook his head. No, Mar tha. Your judgment tells you that you should report me to the police ask them to investigate Betty's dis appearance and broadcast des- cription of Speddon and his car Isn't that true?"
 "Yes it's true" Martha sprang upward from the table Its true-and that's what I'm go' ing to dol"

THE STORY SO FAR

MARTHA BRITAIN and BET IK HAYNES begin . trip up the west coast t0 demonstrate the new AiFspeed trailer. They pick up GERRY NEAL, handsome young hltch-hiker. Neal tells them he is to meet . friend, JACK SPED- ION, at the Long Beach auto camp. But at Long Beach. Neal disappears from the trailer and Spes--dn drives away with Betty, failing to return.
 Frantic, Martha calls police. Then she gets a wire, supposedly from Betty, advising Betty will meet her at . San Francisco hotel. Next, Neal turns up again and tells Martha 'this thing may be bigger" than she imagineS.
 Martha agrees to accompany Neal to San Francisco to find Betty. She finds herself growing more and more interested in Neal. But, arriving in Frisco, Martha finds that neither Speddon nor Betty are registered at the desig- mated hotel. Instead, Martha gets another letter, also presumably from Betty, advising everything is all right. Disturbed, Martha vents to call police but Neal pro- tests that such move might cause Betty's death! And that night Neal tells Martha he loves her.

The manager of the Bridge Auto Park grunted and turned over on his bed. But again there came that insistent knock at the door of his cottage-a knock which he had hoped might be part of 8 dream. Grumbling audibly, he climbed from his sheets, pulled on an ancient but servicable bath robe, and shuffled to the door.
 He was startled to see a rather breathless and very attractive young women standing there. And he was more amazed yet when he recognized her as the young woman who had called earlier in the day. The young wo- man for whom he'd been holding that airmail letter from San Diego
 "I'm sorry to bother you at this time of night" Martha said. But I want space for my coupe and trailer"
 The man yawned. There's a lot of it out there, lady. Just park anywhere and I'll talk to you ir the morning"
 You see, I'm with the Airspeec Trailer Company. I'll be here two or three days"
 Showing of the trailer? That's okay, so long as you pay the regu- lar rent. One fellow 8 while back figured his trailer ought to draw customers and he would get ir here rent free"
 T intend to pay," Martha said She reached into her bag.
 "Never mind now. don't like to lose sleep. See you in the morning.
 The door slammed decisively and Martha returned to the trailer There were other cars and trailers in the camp, but she seemed to DC the only tenant awake at this hour of the night.
 Perhaps, Martha told herself she had been foolish to run away from the hotel and not wait until morn- ing to come to the Bridge Auto Park. But when she had disengaged herself from Gerry Meals arms and escaped into the solitude of her room she knew that she mustn't see him again. He would be telephoning in the morning, perhaps even that highland she had to get away to think.
 Since they had reached San Francisco the quick turn ot events had anaesthetized her own feeling for Gerry Neal. But his swift, uncontrolled confession there in the hotel hallway had precipitated a condition which Martha did not vet want to face. Hurriedly she checked out of the hotel, fearing every moment that Neal would try to stop her. Within 15 min utes she was speeding in the little coupe to reclaim the trailer where Neal had left it earlier in the day.
 The Bridge Auto Park proved to be an excellent location for dis playing the merits of the Airspeed On one of the main arterials for both north and southbound traf- fic, 1t drew many curious motor ist attracted by the streamlinec trailer. With these, as well as with he occupants of the auto park itself, Martha was kept busy At the end of the day she had pointed out the merits of the trailer to scores of prospects handed out as many advertising leaflets. And that night she made her report to Arnold Sloss, grate- full for task to keep her mind occupied. :,
 That day and the next she stayed on at the Bridge Auto Park

NOW is BEST TIME
TO PUT IN ALFALFA
Last Ten Days of August Will Assure
1t OF Surviving Winters
Cold Weather

College Station, Raleigh, Aug. 49,
Alfalfa. a good feed or soil-building
crop, must not be sown too late if it
is to survive the winter cold, said E..
c. Blair, extension agronomist at
State College.
The last 10 days of August are a
good time to SOW alfalfa in North
Carolina, he continued. Sown then,
the plants will have time to develop
good tops and root systems this fall.
Alfalfa should be to 10 inches
high by the time cold weather sets
in. Do not cut off the growth, as it
is needed to protect the crown of the
plant through the winter, Blair added.
Alfalfa land should have been plow
cd and lined some time ago at the
rate of two tons per acre. The seed
bed should be disked frequently from
now until planting time.
Drill in 25 pounds of Kansas COM
mon seed to the acre with 500 pounds
of 16 percent superphosphate and 100
pounds of mllriate of potash, Blair
advised.

Bird Club Takes
Field Trip Tuesday

The Bird Club went on a field trip
y.Sterday afternoon to Rowland's
Pond, with Harry Anderson as the
leader. Although the pond is just a
short distance from here, they saw no
evidences of an electric storm, and
there was only slight rain. Six
members were present.
They discovered a Solitary Sand
piper, which is migratory bird. It
was the first of it's kind that any of
the members had seen. Then, besides
several birds which are common to
this section, they saw full grown
Little Blue Heron. When young, this
bird is white, but in it's second sum-
NOR changes to blue. Only one or two
of the members were familiar with it.

Yonkers Group Seeking

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Aug. 6
IN.S0.-Their nerves wrecked
by "loss of sleep, health and hap
piness," because Of constant noise
emanating from a construction
project, 81 home owners Of nearby
Yonkers seek $4,000 damages in
suits on file here today.
The plaintiffs also seek to halt
the "bedlam" caused by construc-
ton of the project, New York
city's new Delaware aqueduct. The
defendants are New York city, Its
board Of water supply, the bravo
Construction Corporation and the
city of Yonkers.
The aqueduct is to be tunneled
under Westchester county and
shafts are being sunk every two Or
three miles. The residents, who
bought homes in the once secluded
district to obtain SWAN solitude,
declared they now face a prospect
of blasting, rock drilling and
other noises for five years unless
the court intervenes.
A court hearing will be held
next Tuesday.
