cross streets.
The number was 121 Terrace
road. and she took a taxi to the
corner of Foster drive and Terrace,
dismissing it there.
She could see nothing Of the
house as she walked along. For
that matter, she could see nothing
of the grounds.
It was an immense estate appar-
entity covering an entire block,
with a high iron fence surrounding
II and a heavy hedge, equally nigh,
lust inside, effectively blocking all
view from the sidewalk.
There was a massive iron gate.
locked. at the front, and a white
sanded driveway eurving around
the trees which cut off any sight
of the house.
She had no idea it was such a
large place. this place which had
once been her uncle's home.
Two Dogs
The girl stopped for minute
and looked in at the gate. Two
vicious looking Great Danes came
walking slowly toward her, their
red jaws dripping and low cultural
growls coming from their Threats.
She moved hastily on, although
she knew they couldn't possibly get
through the heavy iron gate.
She turned the corner and noted
from the street sign that it was
Hancock drive. The high line of
fence and hedge extended to the
corner, long block away.
Slowly she walked along, trying
to find one small break in the
hedge which would permit a
glimpse of the house, but there
wasn't one. Evidently the Fem
wicks believed in absolute privacy.
She turned left on Chester lane,
still following a line of fence.
Intent with her thoughts, the
break IN the hedge came almost
as shock to her and she had
walked past it before she realized
that at last she had found an
opening where she could see some-
thing.
Narrow Gate
Retracing her steps, she saw
narrow gate with small painted
sign above it reading, Service
Entrance" The trees and shrubs
were not so thick there, and she
leaned against the gate peering
through.
She saw what apparently was
the back of a large garage with
line of washing strung on poles
at one side.
She was standing there, trying
to see more of the grounds, when
huge dog flung itself at her with
roar that sent her staggering
backyard halfway across the side
walk.
The animal leaped against the
gate, snarling. its eyes cleaning
red with viciousness. Like those
at the front gate, it too was a
Great Dane.
Down. Prince! Down, I say"
she heard a voice command, and
then saw an elderly man walk up
to the animal and snap leash to
its collar.
The dog Immediately stopped
jumping, although she could still
hear low growls coming from deep
in its chest.
The man looked out through the
gate and saw Jill.
Sorry, if he scared you, Miss"
he apologized.
That's all right" she answered,
still shaken from her fright. II

Jill's worries kept her awake

she finally did fall asleep it was

quent intervals during the night.
She was up and dressed an hour
before the train reached Rawlton
and had her bags ready when the
porter came for them.
Get there in five minutes, Miss"
the porter said, so she followed him
to the end of the car.
She looked about but saw MOTH

came dashing along carrying his
own bag.

He insisted on sharing his taxi
with her and dropped her at the
hotel, explaining that it was on
the way to his office.
We're going to have dinner,
aren't we? How about tonight ?

and then accepted. Why not? She
asked herself. Shed be alone here
for a week, perhaps two weeks.
She might as well have some COM
panionship. Besides, she rather
liked Brock Landis-
Knock at Door
Half an hour after she had
checked in and had bathed and
changed clothes, she was just get
ting ready to leave when there was
a knock at the door.
Flowers for you, Miss Talbot"
the bellboy said as she opened the
door.
For me?" She was puzzled,
then was slightly annoyed. Brock
Lands was rushing things, she
thought as she undid the wrap
pings around the long box. But
when she lifted out the dozen long
stemmed yellow roses and glanced
at the card, she saw they were
from Rodney Shore.
The card merely said, Good
luck" followed by his signature.
In Rawlton
Rodney Shore! The lawyer had
said he had business in Rawlton
and might see her there, but how
did he get here so soon?
She was certain he wasn't on
her train. He must have flown.
She was puzzled a bit about how
he had so quickly found her hotel,
and then dismissed it from her
thoughts.
She had more important things
to think about than Rodney Shore.
A phone book revealed the Fen
wick address, and she bought a
city map to locate the nearest

Dutch Freighter
Disabled at Sea

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. II. CUP)
The Dutch freighter Djambu
radioed an appeal for immediate
assistance early today, reporting
that its steering gear was disabled.
Mackey radio reported
The Djambu gave its position as
47 degrees 55 minutes north and $50
degrees 81 minutes west, which
would place it approximately 220O
miles west of Seattle on the great
circle route to the Orient.
Mackay radio said the freighter
was attempting to reach ships in
the immediate vicinity. No details
were available.

LONDON, oct. II. (UP) - The
British battleship Royal Oak was
at anchor in Scapa Flow when it
was sunk by German U-boat last
week. Lord Chatfield, defense coor-
dinator, announced in the House
of Commons today.
Chatfield said that the Royal Oak
was sunk at 1870 am. Saturday
He said that it remained a matter
of conjecture how U-boat was
able to penetrate the harbor de-
fenses at Scapa Flow.
The entry of the U-boat must
be considered a remarkable exploit
of professional skill and daring,
Chatfield said.
Chatfield added that a board
of inquiry now is sitting at Scapa
Flow. He said that the U-boat
apparently fired two starboard tor
pedoes at the Royal Oak. One OF
these hit the vessel in the bow.
A muffled explosion followed ano

Twenty minutes later the U-boa
fired three or four torpedoes ant
these, striking in quick succession
caused the ship to capsize an'
sink" Lord Chatfield said.
He said the Royal Oak was lynn
at the extreme end of the harbol
and that therefore many officer
and men drowned before the rescu
could be organized.
More than 300 died. he said.
Serious as it is, it does not affec

vessels, which remains ample,
Chatfield added.
The British had Is capital ship:
including three battle cruisers a
compared to two German over-ag
battleships and three pocket bat
tleships in action. Germany ha
been building new capital ship
however.
Churchill, speaking in Common
said that the first muffled explosio
in the attack on the Royal Ga
was at that time believed to b
due to internal causes, but 20 min

Badly Wounded By
Bullet Through Hand

Jack Rowland, son of Mr. and
Mrs. NJ. D. Rowland, met with a
bad accident last Saturday when a
gun was accidentally discharged,
the bullet striking the young mans
left hand. It entered between the
second and third fingers in the
back of the hand and came out
through the palm tearing the flesh
away as it came out. The little
finger was blown off at the first
joint.
Jack, in. the company of other
young men, had been examining the
gun when it was discharged He
was rushed to the Libby hospital
where he has been taken care OF
but expects to be released within
the next day or two. Reports are
that he will not be able to do much
of anything for approximately three
months. The manner in which the
bullet went into the hand did not
tear any of the tendons which con-
trolls the movements, therefore the
young man should, if everything
goes all right, have the use Of his
hand as soon as all is healed.

MARYLAND, Sept. 20. u l..
Lake, ON one OF his field trips
last week, saw a peculiar OBJ
ject hanging from a tree top.
Upon closer observation he
found it to be bright red silk

This apparatus was sent out

burst and 1t comes to earth.

case Ii could be OF further use.
