Mason lifted his gun until the
muzzle of it was on a level with
Charlie Abbot's eyes. "If you phoned
the sheriff. he'll be here soon. Let's
20 in and wait"
Janet met them at the back door.
II thought / heard Charlie! You're
not supposed to walk this far!'
He didn't answer. He went past
her and down the hall, looking to
right and left, and into big. dimly-
lighted living room. He slumped into
a chair. feeling the pain now as it
ate outward from his lungs into the
muscles of his shoulders and arms.
When he looked up, Janet and
Mason were watching him. Mason
still held the revolver.
Janet said, What s wrong, Charlie2
What's happened?"
Nothing. But he meant to kill
you. l phoned the sheriff"
WE'LL know all about that within
the next half hour" Mason said. "If
he doesn't come, it means you were
bluffing.'
1t was like a dream from which
there was no waking. None of them
spoke. Janet looked from one man
to the other. Charlie sat slumped
in his chair, feeling the slow decrease
of the pain in his lungs. He wanted
to be able to breathe freely when the
time came. He had chance. A slim
one - but it had to work, because
Janet's life depended on it His own
life too. The minute hand of his
watch crept on. Ten minutes. Twenty
minutes. Twenty-Five.
We're eighteen miles from Braden-

the sheriff, he should be here"
"He didn't know the exact loca-
ton of the house." Charlie said. He
had trouble controlling his voice, be-

the phone rang.

words with all his strength. but kept
them clear and understandable:

sand. falling, getting to his feet
again, running faster now. He had
never been this far from his house
before, but he knew the direction.
Then he saw the house, a big
white place with clipped pine
hedge between it and the water.
There we're lights in the house, but
when he paused at the edge of the
yard he could hear no voices and
no shadows moved upon the win
dows. He started walking across the
lawn. approaching the house from
the side and rear. A pain in his chest
was the cold ache of terror. so in
tense he could feel nothing else. His
ears were straining for sound. but
all he heard was the noise of the
surf and the dry rustic of palm
fronds and the labored noise of his
own breathing.
David Mason came out of the
shadows and started toward the
house. and he and Charlie saw one
another at the same instant. Both
stopped. They stood motionless for
the space of seconds. staring at each
other. Then slowly Mason came for
ward and Charlie could see that he
carried burlap bag and some heavy
pieces Of scrap metal.
Mason said. who are you look
ing for?"
$50 you were going to kill her."
Charlie said. He had not selected the
words. They simply formed on his
lips. you were going to kill her
and throw her in the pass"
The tall man swayed little.
What are you talking about?"
IHAr's why you've been study
ing the tides. You didn't want to
take chance on the body washing
ashore later. You wanted to be sure
what would happen to it,"
The scrap iron changed as it fell
from Mason's arm. His hand moved
swiftly to his pocket, then upward,
and he was holding small-caliber
automatic. His voice was low and
steady, almost friendly, How do you
know about me studying the tides?"
''I've been watching with field
glasses through gap in the trees.
But | didn't realize until tonight
that you we're planning to kill Janet"
He took long breath. you were
going to kill her whether or not she
married you. If she had married you,
it would have been safer; but if she
hadn't, you could have forged her
name and pretended she had. You'd
planned it carefully. Everyone would
believe Janet had gone north. and no
one would doubt you were married
when you claimed to be-"
''And who else knows about it?"
Charlie was watching the gun in
Mason's hand. He said impulsively,

Fineerprints Dolly
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
More than 4 per cent of the per-
sons who apply for Government
positions have police records.
J. Edgar Hoover, director Of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
made that disclosure to the House
Appropriations Committee during
hearings on the first deficiency
supply bill, reported today.
Mr.. Hoover said that Of 499 ,085
sets of fingerprints received from
the Civil Service Commission last
year, 22,466 we're identified as from
persons having previous police rec
ords.
Those persons were applying for
positions in the United States Gov
eminent service" he told the COM
mittee. land If the service Of the
Identification division had not been
available, it is possible that many
persons unfit for Government SER
vice would have obtained such en-
ployment."
Not Advised Of Disposition.
Mr.. Hoover said he did not know
whether any of them had received
Government employment, since the
Civil Service Commission did not
advise him what final disposition
was made of the cases. most of
which he said involved minor Of
fenses.
Since the outbreak of war. Mr..
Hoover said. an average of over
$3.50 sets Of fingerprints is received
daily by the bureau, and on one day
alone. January 26, over $4,000 came
in. They stem from many sources,
he explained, including the Army,
the Navy, the civilian defense Or
ganizations. plants handling defense
contracts, the Civil Service Commis-
sion and local law enforcement
agencies.
On January1 of this year. he said,
the bureau had on file 32,308, ,634
sets of fingerprints, an increase Of
over 100000 in one year. In 1941
the bureau identified 696, ,432 persons
as having criminal records.
Pearl Harbor Dead Identified.
Through the bureaus files. Mr.
Hoover declared, some OF the un-
known dead in the Pearl Harbor
attack last December have been
identified.
To date, Mr.. Hoover said, the
bureau has apprehended 1874 Ger
man enemy aliens, 252 italian enemy
aliens and 1901 Japanese enemy
aliens. Last year It obtained con-
victions in 974 per cent Of the
criminal cases 1t handled for trial.

Fires were set in one suburban
