CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The morning newspapers hae
few details of Rick Leslies ar
rest, except to say he had been
taken into custody by federal
agents at his apartment shortly
before midnight.
The arrest had been made quiet
ly. according to the press accounts,
and the accused man had offered
no resistance.
Major Leo Barringer. Y. S. army
observer and superintendent of all
airplanc construction for the army
air service In southern California,
had led the officers when they
called at Leslie's apartment, and
had filed a charge OF espionage
against him when he was booked
in the U. S. marshals office.
Leslie, now a prisoner in the
county jail, was being held in

newspapers.
While Major Barringee refused
to make any statement, the re-
ports inferred from chance re-
marks by other members of the
raiding party, that a huge con-
spiracy had been uncovered in the
Hendon Aircraft c orporatio n
plant. and that other arrests were
expected In the near future.
Ellen had read every word
about Rick she could find before
breakfast. and then put the paper
aside where her mother wouldn' I
find 1t until after she had left the
house.
She had no desire TO answer the
questions about him her mother
was sure to ask. until she at least
had had chance TO think over
her situation.

Barringer phoned as she was
leaving the house. and asked her
TO stop by his place on her way
to the factory.
She found him waiting for her

to work he headed downtown

Dear Miss Grey: With Fourth Of

we have 1000 or more injuries
during this holiday each year,
Many Of these injuries are fatal
to the children who are especially
subject to harm because they WILL

parents will let their little ones 20

Mortified to find them playing with
matches at any other time OF the
