along the coast of southern Cali
fornia. The last one bore a post
mark in Los Angeles, and he feared
that already he was too late.
The night staff came on duty
and still Sandy sat at his desk.
His long body was draped detected
ly on the swivel chair and he
twisted aimlessly to and fro. His
gray eyes were clouded with worry,
and his fingers drummed impa-
tiently on the desk. A green
shaded lamp cast a small spot of
brightness in the room.
Suddenly, Western Union mes
senger edged into the arc of light,
and handed Sandy a telegram ad-
dressed to himself. He tore it open
feverishly.
well, I'll be cockeyed sailor."
he exclaimed. "A cheap joke, and
with me for the good natured
sucker again. I'm fed up. FED
UP" He read the telegram again
to be sure. Datelined La Cresta,
he hurriedly scanned the wire:
THERE is NO MRS. O'DAY
NO JAMIE STOP LETTERS
WRITTEN BY LADY NAMED
MADDEN WHO LIVES BY THE
GREAT PALM POINT.
"A FRIEND"
Suddenly he grabbed his hat and
tore from the office, banging the
door behind him.
Miss Johnston" he said to the
night operator, "call the papers,
call the police, and tell them all
that the O'Day tragedy is just a
comedy. Tell them there is no
Mrs. O'Day, no dear sick son, only
lady named Madden-oh, yes,
and a dumb but willing radio an
nouncer. But before you do that,
call the garage and have my carr
ready-I'm going to get out Of this
.. town, and get out quick!"
But Mr.. Knight, you can't do
that. What about the program 2"
'"The program will go on all
right. Blakeslee can handle it, and
Mike will be back Monday. And
you might tell Blakeslee for me
not to believe all he reads in the
papers. Here"
He thrust the crumpled telegram
in her hand, drew his shoulders up
in a semblance of defiance, and
whipped through the Office.

HERE 1T rs, Sandy-the third
perfumed note in two weeks. Your
fan mail is terrificw Bee Cotton
leaned over a desk Uttered with
papers. tt address the tall and
serious young man working SO
feverishly on a radio script. She
waved a square. gray envelope
aloft before depositing it with
much ceremony in front of Andrew
K. Knight.
Like every other person in the
offices of radio station KROX, Bee
knew that Sandy heartily disliked
the work he had taken over tenn
porarily when his friend. Mike
Borst. was called out of town.
"Ah, it's food for romance. my
son." she suggested. "She prob
ably is some beauteous young thing
who has fallen in love with your
radio personality and"
"Cut! You disbelieving females
are what's wrong with this world,
anyhow. Why can't you give
another woman a break? Those
are the most genuine letters I've
ever read"
Sandy referred to the letters
written by Alicia O'Day. Soon
after he took over the Children's
Hour program, he had received
the first note from this worried
mother whose son was seriously
ill. Jamie, she said. had derived
so much happiness from the pro-
gram that he had insisted on her
writing rather unusual request.
HE wants you to send him a
recipe on how to become a radio
announcer when he gets WE'LL" ex-
planned Mrs. O'Day. Sandy was
amused and little touched by this
plea from a gallant young mother.
He made up nOnsensical formula
and forwarded it with a picture of
himself taken during hazing days
at college. "That should cure the
young rascal of his ambitions" he
ehuckled as he sent the damaging
evidence to young Jamie. A sub
sequent letter thanked him for his
thoughtful buffoonery, but con-
tanned the disturbing news that
Jamie was no better.
Bee looked speculatively at the
third note. which Sandy was
handling gingerly. What would be
the next move!
Just the same I'll bet she'd be
glad to change O'Day to knight
any time in the week." she said
graphically, and chanted:
Sandy Andy,
You're no dandy,
But you surely get the ladies
And the ladies' sickly babies
With your soulful,
Vibrant mouthful
Of radio pa-la-ver!'
Sandy flushed to the roots of his
blonde hair, and Bee thought again
how attractive was this sincere
and unassuming young chap. Since
ne had come to KROX to take over
the unaccustomed duties of con-
Quoting a radio program, he had
won host of friends. He took
himself and everyone else too
seriously for his own good, but
strangely enough this was an i'm
portant part of his attractiveness.
T he daffy kind" Sandy
chuckled as he cut open the enve-
lope, "he probably wants to be a
lion tanner now. And great train
ing that would be for a lob like
this"
He read the first line of Mrs
O'Day's letter, and then calculated.
Great Jumping Judas! Listen to
this" Bee paused in the doorway.
startled by the excitement in his
voice.
Its that woman again, and lit
tie Jamie! She's going to commit
suicide. Discouraged, she saws.
There's a lot about the baby being
worse and then she says, We are
taking the boat this afternoon.
and that will be the end of the
adventure of me and my. son."

and kissed her.

mother"
"And now I shall go straight
back, Jacqueline, and move all our
things out Of that dreadful fiat
into nice hotel"
The door Of the Office was flung
violently open, and Colonel Lut-
man, bareheaded, unshaven, with
crumpled collar and wet disheveled
clothes, came striding in. Beside
the desk he halted and shook a
fist in Charles face.
"Stuckey, you swine! I'll fix you
for this! I'll get you 10 years for
it,"
He swung round on Jacqueline.
Listen! That man doped me,
and I'll get him 10 years for it..
Doped me-here- this office.
And then dumped me in my boat
and tied it to the stern of the
John O. Gaunt. I was towed as
far as Sheerness before I got my
senses back. Look at me-wet

Mrs. Smith rose and drew her
self up to her full height.
Colonel Lutman," she began,
Colonel Lutman, can only say,
you horror! You unutterable hor-
ror! You, a married man. :"
Lutman waved her aside.
'By heavens, you'll pay for this,
Stuckey!" he exclaimed. 'I'll break
you-see? I'll smash you! That's
it-grin! But I can do it, and I
will do it. I've still got that scrap
Of paper, remember!"
'Have you?" said Charles.
Lutman glared at him, and then
suddenly his hand went to his
pocket and pulled out his wallet.
He opened it and glanced inside.
"Gone 2" smiled Charles. 'Torn
into thousand pieces, Lutman,
and removed this morning by the
Rotherhithe dustmen."
Lutman thrust the wallet into
his pocket with a snarl and strobe
to the door.
"And the little memorandum
book, Lutman," said Charles, I'm
keeping that. There are interest
ing details of certain transactions
lower down the river-names and
addresses and dates and that sort
of tl1ing-which might prove use
