Miss Helmsborg, Mr. Fink and Miss
Netherheim witnessed the closing and
the sealing of this box in the presence
of MIR. Sanger and myself. There is an
affidavit to that effect. There must be
another one attesting the intactness of
the seal on the present date - and
the breaking of it by you - if allow

Miss Helmsborg. Mr.. Fink and Miss
Netherheim filed quietly into the room.
Stuart identified himself.
Now let me have the papers Mr..
Sanger mailed to you"
Goldstone sat easily at his desk 60
ing over Stuart's dossier with the copy
of it which he had taken from his own
files and unsealed. 1t took him all of
ten minutes to satisfy himself. When
he had, he sat Miss Helmsborg down
and in a quiet. heavy voice dictated
to her a complete statement of what
he had done. appending to it his letter
of instructions from Murray Sanger.
He signed the affidavit and had his
signature notarized. He caused Miss
Helmsborg, Mr. Fink and Miss Neither
helm to examine the seal of the box.
He dictated their affidavit and had
them sign it. He picked up the box
and passed it to Stuart.
For a moment. Stuart could do
nothing but sit there and hold it; then
he tore at the seal and opened it.
One long envelope lay inside. with
his own name inscribed upon it. He
ripped it open and cracked the papers
in it across his knees. He sprang up
out of his chair.

There are certain things you don't

you don't do" and her voice was high
with bitter laughter. Stuart. I'm so
desperately fond of you = forgive me
if laugh at you. forgive me, but you
are such an ass. Great heaven. don't
you know the rules of men and wom-
en-? Don't you know that it's fight
to the finish - love - with no holds
barred? A desperate business with
death or godhood for the stakes -
and the whole gamut of barroom
gouging for the winning of it ="
He stared at her for one brief second.
then he sprang off the bed with one
kick of his elbows and his heels Ariel"
- his mouth was open - Ariel -"
'SorTy, Stuart - you had it COM

"No-no-no no." he yelled at her.
What is it?''
Il don't know - don't dare

across his hair and his eyes, trying to
steady himself, but he couldn't, for
the hope in him was 50 wild, so sudden
that it had his nerves all loose within
him. He managed to point to the tele-
phone. ''MacIvers - at the studio.
Get him. Ariel!' The room sang with
the metallic whiplash of the telephone
dial as her frightened fingers tore at it.
Hes here" she said.
Tell him to put on the record we
made of the conversation between
Sanger and Renee Fraser from the
notes Renee gave US. The first record"
Ariel spoke into the phone.

words of the electric transcription as

There was another moment of 81

ALAMANCE FARMER TO
USE ELECTRIFIED FENCE

Burlington, May 31.-J. N. Reid, a
farmer of Altamahaw, route one,
this morning put into operation
what is said to be Alamance coun-
tvs first electric fence, after COM
pletion of his novel wiring system
last week.
The experiment, which so far has
been completed only on small
scale, consists of a single strand OF
wire around the enclosed area, the
height of which may be regulated to
suit the type of livestock to be &C
commodated. The transformer which
supplies the current running through
the wires is geared so that it charges
for three seconds and then shuts OIL
for nine, so that in "a hours of a
day, current is actually used for a
total of only six.
Reid expects in the near future to
use the system on his entire farm II
the experiment proves practicable
w. H. Kinney, assistant county
agent, said today.
