That afternoon cable had
arrived from Ottawa informing
him that the State University,
located just outside Chicago,
had wired that it was believed
the man whose identity the de-
partment sought had been star
athlete there prior 10 gradua-
ton in 1929. II was suggested
that an investigator be sent for
further details.
Dawson decided TO try anoth-
or cigaret. He got into his
dressing gown and slippers in
the cramped quarters and weav-
ed his way down the humping
aisle between grcen-curtalncd

Blinking at his watch, Clyde

he yawned eXpanSively. In an

Dawson hoped that il was the

about the heating system. But
fully minute passed by and
nobody appeared. The door into

no doubt about il. Impatiently

alert. Down near the end Of the
car muffled man was pulling
{. art the curtains of a lower
berth in stcalthy fashion-and 1t
" DaWson's berth.
In the feeble night lighting
of the car 1t was impossible to
sec any Of the mans facial fea-
lures. Besides his coat collar
was turned up. He was now
reaching into the berth. /.
Dawson =Whipped open I h e
swinging door.
For a split second he caught
a flash of white face as the
figure hurriedly withdrew from
Il empty berth and took a
quick look toward the smoking
compartment before wheeling
and rushing out.
Dawson was yards behind and
the chase was difficult due TO
the motion of the train. Be-
tween two cars he lost one of
his slippers on the snowy plat
form but kept going on one
bare foot. Abruptly he halted
three cars beyond his own. The
man had vanished-either he
had hoped into a berth Dawson
already passed or was in a berth
still further back. The car
partcrs would be having forty
winkS up front in the dining car

rushed through any one car. OBJ
viously, the unknown intruder
had chosen his time with that
i'm mind.
Returning to his car. Dawson
went directly TO the berth he
hp occupied and switched on
the light. He whistled softly
through the monotonous clicke-
{ click Of the wheels.

stories where the sleuths life
is threatened nightly, After ALL
what good would it do TO XII
him - another inv estigator
would take up the trail. But
that slashed pillow where his
head had been resting only a
short time before could not be
ignored. Somebody on the train
had murder in his heart with
Dawson as the victim.
The next day he kept strictly
to himself aboard the train. This
behavior was prompted by
thinking things over during the
early morning hours following
the knife slashing episode. He
realized that in the dim light
he hadn't seen anything that
might prove clew TO the
would be killers identity. II he
acted like a person looking for
somebody the following day 1t
would only serve to put MIR. X
on his guard.
There was only one thing TO
do. Act indiffercntly in the
hope that it would invite the
killer to try again Next time
Dawson would be waiting with
cen arms.
However, nothing unusual
happened during the long day
as the Overland Express puffcd
through the bleak country. 1t

Preparing for the gigantic job of
registering every man, woman and
child in Maryland for war ration
books, State rationing officials to-
day attempted to clear up some of
the questions that are being asked
with the following answers:
Q.-When are the ration regis
tration dates?
A.-Wholesalers, retailers, bak-
cries and other industrial users of
sugar will register on April % and
20. Individuals and family con-

HOW TO OBTAIN YOUR
SUGAR RATION BOOKS

sumers of sugar will register on
May 4, 5, 6 and Z.
Q.-Where will the registration
be held.
AT all public schools.
Q.-Who must register?
A.-Everyone who wishes to get
a ration book.
els it necessary for each per-
son to go to the registration place
and register individually?
A.-No. One person, preferably
the head of the household, may
register for his or her immediate
family which lives in the one
household.
Q.-May the head of the house
register and get the ration book
for a maid or servant who lives in
and eats all meals at the house?
A. The maids or servants
should register Individually and get
their own ration books. A person
may register only for members of
the immediate family"
Q.-Then what is to be done
about buying sugar that is con-
sumed by the maids or servants?
Alt will be up to the employ
er and the servants to work out
that problem between themselves.
If the servant has all meals in his
employers house, it has been sug-
gested that the servant get his own
ration book and turn it over to the
employer so long as he continues to
get his meals there. The ration
book, of course, would have to be
returned to the servant if he leaves
the house and takes employment
elsewhere. If the servant gets only
some meals at his employers home
and the rest of his meals at his
own home it will be up to the ser
vants and employer to make an
agreement between them.
Q.-How long will it take to
register?
Att is estimated that it will
take between five and eight min
utes for each person to register.
Q.-Can one person get more
than one ration book?
A.-No. Only the ration book
will be issued to each individual.
However, if a person registers for
more than one person he will get
a ration book in the name of each
person.
Q.-Who will serve as regis
trars?
ALL schoolteachers in the
county will serve as registrars. The
principals of the various schools
have been placed in charge of
organizing the registrars.
