They were married by bald justice of the

try to help it.
Mack was still away when she read in the
paper about Chalk's parole. 1t had been
denied. Then she really cried, from relief. A
blind sort of desperate hope bore her up.
She let it. She wouldn't think. She wouldn't
look ahead She just clutched at maybe.
The afternoon Mack got home he brought
the paper telling about the prison break.
Chalk had been killed trying to escape.

Mickey and the revelation of the real
Bill Blaine-a man who was total
stranger from that Bill she first met
on the roofAso held her thoughts dur
ing every waking hour that she failed
to notice the absence of Steve Hub
bard.
1t was on the third day after the
family counsel in the Blaine home =.
the night that Bill Blaine had stood re-
vealed to her the first time ). that
realization dawned on Linda that
Steve was strangely missing from his
old haunts- chiefly from his daily
romp with Mickey.
When Steve failed to visit Mickey
that day and the next, Linda began
to miss him. That was why she went
to the basement garage of Titan Tow
er and made inquiries of the manager.
"No, MISS" the manager said,
"Steve isn't with US now. You know
his hands got hurt. Besides, Miss, I
don't think he's coming back with us
even after his hands heal. His uncle
or aunt or somebody died and left
him ranch somewhere upstate :"
Later, Linda tried to telephone
Steve at his apartment. The oper-
ator told her that Steve's number had
been disconnected. She felt that Steve
Hubbard had gone out of her life >. &.
without even saying goodbye, too E. g.
not even to Mickey, let alone Linda.
Yes, Linda MUST have hurt him,
more deeply than she realized. She
couldn't let him go away like that
not Steve, who had been so kind and
good to both of them.
It wasn't like Steve to exit quietly,
from her life or anyone's, not the
Steve who had entered it so brashly
that bright day on the sun-deck as
she waited for Bill Blaine :.
How could she find him? Where
was it that Aunt Cynthia had said
her ranch was? Maybe she could
reach Steve there-was it Susanville?
No, it wasn't it Vacaville? Lin
da couldn't remember.

Linda, had she known it, would not
have needed to look far for Steve.
At the moment she was seeking to
reach him by telephone from her of
flee, Steve was only a few blocks a.
way, at downotwn bank.
He had come from a lawyers office
where the estate of Aunt Cynthia,

For a moment Janice looked alive
again.
ooh, Jo!" she cried. edo you think
we can find out something to help
Linda 2"
"Well, we won't standing around
here" 10 urged. "Let's get going"
A few minutes later the two girls
were doing very thorough job of
rifling the secret files of Mr.. Ander-
son, JOS private detective employer.
At one point, when postman
knocked on the outer office door to
leave special delivery letter, both
girls swung around startled, their
whirls synchronized like two dolls on
a common mechanism.
And then, on a sheet of paper at
the bottom of the file, they found
something to reward their efforts and
justify the risk they had taken.
1t was a letter to Mr.. Anderson
from Jack Blaine, and 10 quickly cop
led it in shorthand before restoring
it to the file.
Later, when Janice and 10 hurried
to Linda's office to tell her the news,

quickly settled, was wound up, and
had gone directly to the bank to trans
act business prior to leaving for his
aunt's ranch-now Steve's.
With a friend for chauffeur
one of the boys from the garage on
his day off-Steve was driven from
the bank to familiar stopping place
in a residential district. Steve's hands
were healing rapidly but were not suf-
ficiently sound yet to permit him to
risk their full recovery by driving his
car.
After brief stop, Steve emerged
to climb back in his car, and, look
ing back to wave at someone in a
window, drove away-across the city,
over the bay bridge and north toward
Oroville and his ranch.
"Jan," said 10 Monroe, bursting in
to Janice's office, 81 need a good bur-
glar-cOme with me!'
Janice had been sitting idly at her
typewriter and when she looked up,
10 noticed that her eyes were red.
'What did you say?" Janice asked.
II I didn't hear YOU"
"Hey!" said 10. "Snap out of it,
kid. The world isn't coming to an
end. You look like you've committed
al seven deadly sins and had thought
up couple of extra of your own to
repent"
"I'm sorry, Jo," Janice said. "I'm
all right T. 80"
Listen, them" 10 went on. "Here's
our big chance. My big Oman boss
is GOne-man, and I'm alone in the
office. I can't leave it for long, so

with as little fuss as possible. You
could settle with the MOrtOns out of
court-tell them they may have the
boy :"
Linda, doubling her ears, caught her
breath sharply, and her heart-the
heart in which she had crowded Mick
ey over to make way for Bill Blaine
stood still in her throat.
&c. of course, they won't know it,
but it will be only temporary" Bill
continued blandly. "Let them have
Mickey for a while and then they'll
drop the guardianship matter and, af-
ter we're married, We'll have no
trouble getting the boy back. There
he paused, looking for approval.
doesn't that fix it?"
The room was very still when Lin
da answered.
eyes, Bill" she said, and her voice
was very, very quiet, "that fixes
everything"
And Linda looked directly at Bill
Blaine, and, finally, really saw him
for the first time. 1t wasn't in that
tense romantic moment ages ago,
high on rooftop, that she first saw
Bill Blaine. It was now, here, in the
library of the Blaine mansion, where
girls feet could be on the ground
and her heart could sink much low
er.
Looking at Bill, she looked THRU
him, and what she saw was another
Mike, cast in the same mold; taller,
blonder, but still Mike Morton. Total
ly charming, totally irresistible-and
totally shallow.
Linda finally said: "Thank you, Bill
I'll try not to make too much nOtOriety
for you I'll let you know my
decision tomorrow"
Leaving, she looked deep into Mr..
Avon's face and saw a strange ex-
preston thereof hurt mingled with
heartfelt understanding.
He looked as though, in one short
revealing statement, he had lost a
son-and gained a daughter.
'Mommy," said Mickey, 81 want to
help you write. Give me a pencil"
"Why, darling!" Linda said, sur
prised, 81 thought you were sound a.
sleep. Aunty Blauer told me you
went to bed early"
81 walked up" Mickey, clad in a
plaid bathrobe over his pajamas,
climbed up beside her at the kitchen
table.
While Mickey drew on his paper,
Linda wrote:
"YOu were kind, Bill to try to make
an honest woman of me and give my
son a father. But it wouldn't work.
Thanks, though, for being noble.
Nothing will work for us. If I
gave Mickey to the MOrtOns without
a fight, it would have torn out a part
of my heart, and there wouldn't be
much left for you, would there?
Pm sure you wouldn't want what
would be left 49,. L."
It's not Bills fault, she thought,
that he happens to be Bill. It's Lin
da's fault, all Linda's fault, for play
ing a game that couldn't possibly have
ended happily.
"Smart grill" she said aloud.
"I'm smart, too," Mickey answer
ed. "Look, made a pig! What did
you make, mommy?"
"Mommy made" Linda said, a
mess of things"
Mickey studied her sheet of paper
intently, without seeing what he
sought.
But it was there.

Unique Operation
May SaveLifeo of
4-Day-0Id Infant

SAN FRANCISCO, April S. (UP)
DIR. c. A. Haines of Ashland,
Ore, was due here today for con-
ference with a noted plastic sur
geon on a skin operation to pro-
long and possibly eventually save
the life of a four day old baby girl
born with her bladder appended to
the outside of the abdomen.
The case was described by DR..
Haines as highly unusual in west
coast medical history in that the
bladder, instead of opening on the
abdomen as occurs more often in
ectophy cases. was complete with
out an outside opening.
IL was feared an operation trans
planting various organs would prove
fatal TO the child, who is normal in
all other respects and now nursing
healthily despite the bladder con-
dition.
DR. Haines' trip 10 San Francisco
was prompted by his acquaintance
with DR.. Sterling Bunnel, who op-
Grated on him in world war days,
and who is considered an author
ity on plastic operations.
10 was the Oregon doctors hope
that a skin operation could be per-
formed to halt the present bleed
ing of the bladder because of its
lack of protection and irrigation
where it joins the abdomen tissue
If this could be done successfully
he said, there was a possibility the
child could have another operation
in several years which would restore
II TO normalcy.
