CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Ellen had a feeling of vague un-
reality-her mind was struggling
as though she were asleep and had
been going through a horrible
nightmare.
Her eyes were closed. which
added to her illusion. With ter
rifle effort, she brought herself
back to reality. She opened her
eyes and saw that it was all true.
She hadn't dreamed this horror.
She really was a prisoner. Her
hands fastened securely behind her
back, her ankles bound-not so
tightly as they had been but
tightly enough to entirely restrict
her moving about.
She stared unbelievingly through
the dimness at Karl Vorhis. She
could make out the hard glitter
in his eyes. and in silhouette his
face looked heavy and unyielding.
She knew he had not merely
been trying to brighten her by tell
ing her what fate was in store for
her. He meant it. There was no
doubt about that.
Dimly she could make out the
figure OF Jules, lolling in chair
propped against the far wall.
But for an occasional movement.
she would have thought him
asleep He had not spoken since
he had helped Karl bring her into
this room.
Karl Arose
Karl arose to his feet, and the
girl almost screamed.
1--WE got to go out" he told
Jules. 'I'll be back before mid
night. Keep your eye on the girl.
and don't let anything happen. or
1t viii be too bad for you. IN
derstand ?"
Eyes. sir" Jules answered. re-
specially. Karl turned around and
faced Ellen.
IF you have any wild ideas
about making break. you'd bet
ter forget them" he warned.
Jules here is crack shot-one
of the best pistol shots in the
world. as a matter of fact. He's
armed and under instructions to
use his gun If necessary. Behave
yourself. and you'll be all right
at least until I get back"
Low Tone
He talked in a low tone for sew
ersl minutes with Jules, and then
left the apartment. by the front
door. this time
Ellen wondered IL il would do
any good TO try to bride Jules-to /
make him promises that she knew /
Bsrringer would fulfill If she was
able to get TO him and tell him
what she had discovered.
She tried to talk with him, but /
Jules was gruff and taciturn.
mo use talking to me, Miss" he
said, finally. u got my orders.
I amt in no hurry to get bumped
off myself. and I'm doing what
Karl tells me-"
He shut up after that. and de-
spite every effort. Ellen was I'M
able to get anything more out of
him.
After time. an idea occurred TO
her. Her eyes for some time had
been centered on the bright
chromium steel ash tray on the
table beside the davenport.
Jules" she said, in her most
ingrstisting tone.
What you want" he grunted.

curl around which a small black
velvet ribbon is tied in a bow.
Naturally. you cannot expect a
daytime or evening coiffure to give
excellent service and be otherwise
satisfactory unless your hair is
cleaning with health and cleanli-
ness. Dull, dingy locks have no
place in the modern beauty and
fashion picture, no matter how
they are cut or dressed.
Use your hairbrush every single
night, of course. Even the most
elaborate hair-do should be able TO
stand a good brushing. If it won't,
you have just cause for complaint.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-07-14

Remember that brushing is the
great cure-all. 1t will, in time,
correct excessive oiliness. eliminate
a flaky. falling-cuticle condition of
the scalp, restore the natural gloss
and CLEAN to exceptionally dry
hair or correct whatever other de-
feet happens to be present.
Scrupuloius cleanliness, too, is
important. Hair should be washed
at least every ten ALPHABETICALLY
once a week. Soap and water, pro-
viding the soap is mild and the
rinsing adequate, will no more hurt
the average scalp than they will
injure the average complexion.
