 BRAINS BEHIND
THE BATTLE.

COMMODORE William Thomas - Sampson had drawn up plans for attacking the Spanish fleet at Santiago, Cuba, in 1898. General Shafter was having trouble on the mainland and called Sampson for a conference.
 Just as the naval commander stepped off his flagship, he heard cannon fire. The Spanish fleet had left the harbor and engaged Sampson's ships in battle. Samp- son hurried back to the line, but his command was not needed. The battle was being won along the plans he had laid out.
 It was the climax of brilliant naval career for Sampson. Born in 1840, he was graduated from Annapolis in 1861, and rose quickly as a naval authority, es- pecially on ordnance. And the greater efficiency of instruction at the Naval Academy also dates from his leadership there. He was made rear admiral in 1899, and did not retire from service until shortly before his death in 1902. His portrait appears with those of Admirals Dewey and Schley, on the new 4-cent navy stamp.

II can help you. And you must believe me when I tell you that this whole thing may be bigger than you imagine. A girl can't buck 1t alone. And whether you realize 1t or not, you're in 1t up to your neck" He started for the door. "Ill be at the Del Monte If you want to come by for me there at 8 o'clock we can break fast together"
 "The Del Monte? I-I thought you were broke"
 Gerry Neal grinned. T wired for funds," he said. "See you in the morning." Then with pleas ant good night" he left the trailer.
 Tired and befogged, Martha wondered duly if he'd really be there. Perhaps she'd blundered again, and he would rush on to San Francisco to warn Speddon that she was on the trail. Who was Gerry Neal? How could he stay at the Del Monte when he LldQ SIlcdhcO away HUH hAo AaAN lady in San Diego and gone hitch hiking on the highway?
 It was too much for Martha to solve that night. With a shudder she closed the ceiling compart- ment in which Neal had hidden. Once closed 1t was almost impos- sible to detect without the aid of measurements. She recalled with chagrin how she had slept in the trailer at Santa Barbara--and with Gerry Neal all the while in that compartment above! She remen- bered his slow, engaging grin, and his deep friendly eyes. Why did she want so to trust him when everything about his actions was against him? Was 1t because she needed help so badly, or because
 Martha slept, with the question unanswered.

~I wondered that myself" Neal said. "You see, know something of car design. When I came back here to shave l spotted something screwy, SO I investigated"
 'It must be a luggage compart- ment. But why didn't Darlington or Sloss tell me about it?"
 Gerry Neal smiled oddly. "It would be unusually thoughtful, don't you think, to have ventila- tion for the luggage? And I can't quite understand, either, why your employers didn't point out such a nice feature"
 Martha dropped wearily to the settee. rubbed 8 moist hand over her forehead. q II wish we'd never taken this job. It's all-" She stopped, looked helplessly at Neal. T can't understand any of it!"
 He offered her a cigaret. "The best thing to do for the time be- ing is calm down and don't try to figure it."
 "But I can't trust you. Why were you hiding? Why didn't you meet Speddon as you'd promised? Then all this wouldn't have hap pened."
 Neal sat down beside her, looked squarely into her eyes. See here Martha Britain. You've got tc trust me. You've got to believe that things might have been worse if hadn't pulled my little stunt.
 What do you mean?"
 That's all I can tell you now, Neal said.
 But do you know why Betty didn't come back?"
 Neal shook his head. I'm moi certain, if you don't accept Sloan. theory"
 T don't" Martha said quickly Betty Haynes wouldn't do 6 thing like that" She stopped 6 moment. Do you-are you really a friend of Speddon's2"
 we've known each other for g considerable time" Martha's head was whirling witt questions, but she saw that Nea would not give what answers he knew. How far should she trust him she wondered. There was the DOS. sibility that he was working witt Speddon, was even now attempting to throw her off the track. But what did Speddon want with Bet. ty? The Haynes family was moi wealthy, so che could not be helc for 1ny appreciable kidnap ransom The only other alternative fillec Martha's heart with a cold fright.
 twill you go to San Francisco with me to meet Betty?" she asked suddenly.
 of course"
 Martha's heart leaped. If she could keep him with her, pretend to fall in with him, there might still be a chance to get him into the hands of the police. Perhaps in the crowded Palace Hotel, when she found Betty's wire had been a hoax, she could have Gerry Neal arrested.
 I'm going to get some rest" she said. ''Then we'll start early in the morning."
 You won't run away from me?"
 "No."
 Neal smiled. T really wouldn't
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-01
CHAPTER VII

Martha's first thought was to get the revolver in the car and turn Neal over to the Monterey police Quickly she turned but before she could reach the door of the coupe he had caught her wrist.
 What are you going to do?"
 Martha faced him angrily. "I'm going to see that you're put be- hind bars!"
 "But what for?"
 "You've. something to do with Betty's disappearance. You and Speddon are in it together" She tried vainly to release herself "And if you don't let go of my wrist I'm going to scream"
 Neal smiled. Don't make me have to cover your mouth"
 Martha faced him, her brain racing, trying to hit upon some way to outwit him. There was not soul in sight, and the nearest lighted dwelling was more than a block away. Please she plead- ed, "let me go, and tell me how to lind Betty. She sent a wire saying she'd meet me at the Pal ace Hotel in San Francisco, Will Ghe?"
 T know Jack Speddon," Neal said. And if she's with him shell meet you there."
 "Then you do admit that it's some sort Of a trick between the two of you"
 The other shrugged. I'd hardly say a trick. I'm rather inclined to agree with that detective, Sloan"
 "Sloan?"
 "Yes. Didn't he say there was Q possiA -.ty that Betty just de- cided to go on with Speddon?"
 Martha's jaw dropped. Then you were near the trailer when Sloan was there?"
 'I was in the trailer"
 Her blood chilled at his reply. Was Neal a madman, too? No you couldn't have been."
 T was, though" Neal insisted. "Would you like to have me show you how 1t was possible?" He re- leased her wrist. T wouldn't 20 for your gun, If were you, until you've made quite sure I'm not a friend"
 He opened the door of the trailer and switched on the light, then pointed at the ceiling. To Martha's astonishment a wide rectangular hatch was folded down, revealing a sizeable space between the ceiling and the actual top of the trailer!
 She looked at Neal. But how could you have been up there?"
 'It's really quite roomy. And those ventilators on the outside ot the trailer go into that upper com pertinent, not into the trailer"
 "But-but what's it for?"

THE sT0RY s0 FAR

Stranded in San Diego on vaca- ton, MARTHA BRITAIN and BETTY HAYNES obtain an as- signment with the Airspeed Trail CT Company te travel up the coast, demonstrating the new de luxe trailer. Their suspicious are aroused somewhat when ARNOLD SL0SS of the trailer company fails to ask them for either bond or references.
 They return to their apartment to pack. At their door they sur- prise . handsome young man try- ing to enter. ApOlogetically, he tells them he stepped off at the wrong floor and that he is GER- RY NEAL.
 They start north and pick up Neal, hitch hiking. He tells them he is. to. meet g friend, JACK SPEDDON, at Long Beach. But at Long Beach auto camp when Speddon appears, Neal has disap- peared from the trailer. Driving off with Betty to check NeaPs disappearance, Speddon fails to return. Frantic, Martha calls poe lice. Then she gets a wire, hours later, signed Betty" and advising that Betty will meet her at a San Francisco hotel.
 Feverishly Martha starts back, trying to trace SpeddOn and Mar tha en route. Worn out her sec- Ond day, she is returning to her trailer to rest when she is star tied to see Neal standing at its door.

Brain TWizzIers By Prof. ). D. Flint

In one of the better known fight ing "stables" were two fighters, one a middleweight called "Swingtime Sam" and the other a bantam weight called "Fiddlefoot" Finnegan. Both were very fond of fishing and whenever training schedule allowed a free hour they spent it fishing ii possible. One day "Swingtime" caught 8 large fish and the two had no way of knowing what It weighed. On the way home they passed some highway construction material and stopped to place plank over a saw-horse. They ad- iusted it so that it balanced with "Swingtime", weighing 150 pounds, on one end and Finnegan, weighing 12O pounds, on the other end. At that moment a pedestrian came along and volunteered his services. By keeping the board in the same position, reversing positions for the two men and giving the fish to Finnegan, the pc .estrian figured out how much the fish weighed. What was the weight?

GULF PLANS NEW
SERVICE STATION
Larger Building To Be
Erected ON Present
Location

The Gulf Refining Company has
given out bids for the erection of
another and larger building on the
location of their present service
station on North Jonathan street,
the former site of the old police
station.
The present facilities are not
adequate for the growing service
of the company and enlargement
has become necessary.
The present square service sta
ton will be torn down and the
new building, to be erected of
brick and stucco, will occupy a
position entirely in the rear, prac-
tically the width of the lot, leav-
ing a large open frontage.
The improvements will include
a car washing service and the adj
dition of two lifting jacks for au-
tomobiles.
1t is purposed beginning de-
molishing the present building
and getting the site reading for
the @purposed enlargement in the
very near future.

Local Fisherman and Giant Bass Stage|
Death Battle" on Historic Potomac
Huge Fish Drags Oscar, Boat and Anchor Two Miles
Upstream In Desperate Attempt to Escape;
Bathers Rush To The Hills

Those fishermen who claim
there is no "real' bass in the
Potomac River are referred to
Oscar Hoppelheimer, popular man
about-town, who returned several
days ago after a most thrilling
experience along the stream in
search of the elusive members of
the finny tribe.
Oscar doesn't claim to be a
champion fisherman. In fact, he
is one of the run-of-the-riveg
sportsmen who uses bamboo
pole and comparatively cheap
line. He spurns the steel rod, the
silver plated reels and the enamel
lines and all other high-priced
fishing equipment sported by elite
fishermen. But it must be said
here and now, that only Oscar
knows what it means to stand toe
to-fin with vicious Potomac River
bass and battle to the death"
According to Oscar the day was
hot and his luck just fair I'M
til the daddy of all Potomac River
bass hit" his line. A powerful
tug awoke Oscar from his day
dreams and he yanked with all his
strength. The bass started going
places, and dragged Oscar, boat
and anchor upstream. The boat
rounded the bend at Williamsport
going full speed ahead and almost
capsized when it side-swiped the
bridge. In its mad dash toward
Spring Culvert, the dragging an
Choir gathered up dead trees and
