 T suppose you have already done away with MT. Burke?" There was tremor of fear in her casual tone.
 "Oh, no,' he answered. Judith felt dizzy with happiness at his words. The two of you are to die together when the time comes"
 T see"
 Just to know that Tom was still alive gave her new spirit to face the future dangers. It might not Dc so hard to die with the man she loved. Then she remembered again that she was being shadowed by a government man and she would not die at the hands of these ruthless captors. She smiled from the secret knowledge.
 You are happy"
 She shrugged her shoulders.
 Tt is better to laugh than cry she replied. T was wondering what good it would do you to kill Us? You'd be taking an awful chance. Crime doesn't pay, you know not over here"
 Maybe you won't die," and he did the shrugging this time. You might be more valuable alive, the both of you Who knoWs?" His evil laugh chilled her to the bone. MT. Burke know some things about the plans that are very valu- able to us. We want that knowl- edge. I think he will talk now that we have you" He paused for a moment. You are a very beau- tiful girl, Miss Kingsly."
 Judith kept reminding herself after that: Don show fear. Don't ever let him know you are afraid" But she was horribly frightened. She knew without doubt that they would threaten her life - torture her, perhaps, to make Burke talk. To save her life, Tom would have to betray the secrets of the new bomber. The longer she thought about 1t. the more her fear gave way to deep anger. Her blue eyes smoldered. Abruptly she turned to the man and smiled slowly n the semi-darkness of the sedan.
 T hope you have good food where you are taking me-" She made her voice sound friendly. You haven't given me much time to eat, and I'm pretty hungry"
 Instead of the pleasant reply she expected. his tone was grufT. "You1l be fed"
 After that, she huddled deeper in her corner of the car. She wanted a cigaret badly, but decided aginst opening her purse; 1t still held the little gun.

last Saturday night in the way of
arrests. When the roll was called, it
was found that over 20 small sized
rioters were in limbo.
The trouble doomed here and in
Stockton. A natural jovial DISPOSE

lated by some of the dispensary's
worst, made itself known in dis
play of vocal power as we'll as in the
display of firearms which they were
most anxious apparently to prove to

Stockton phoned over to Pocomoke
for aid and automobiles which was
readily accorded, and the roundup
was started with the results as above
stated. A hearing was accorded the
fun makers in Snow Hill when vari-
Gus and sundry punishments were
.meted out.

HOLDERS OF B" CARDS
ALLOWED FREE USAGE

Legitimate holders Of "B" ration
cards who are able to economic in
their normal use of gasoline are free
to use the balance to which their card
entities them for any purpose they
wish, Leon Henderson, price admin
strator, has announced.
He issued this statement, he ex-
planned, to clear up misunderstood
ings. The impression had prevailed
in some place that "B" cards could
be used only for gasoline needed to
drive to work, or to carry on other
necessary business.
Mr.. Henderson also said that local
rationing boards throughout the east
ern states would be relied on to check
applications for 'X" and "B-3" cards
to determine whether they have been
obtained without justification.

Chaplain Quinn Is
Reported As Missing
Continued from Page ID

J. S. Clarke. His great uncles We're
the late John H. Clarke and Iittleton
T. Clarke, and there are many des-
cendants from these three living in OF
near this city, who would hail with
delight more encouraging news from
the missing soldier.
Of the Quinn family, Mrs. A. G.
Adams, aunt of the Chaplain, is also
a resident of Pocomoke, and the I'M
certainty Of the circumstances sur
rounding her nephew are of course
most disquieting. All his relatives
tho, are placing much hope in the
uncertainty of the situation. 1t is
we'll known that communication lines
have been totally obliterated and he
may be held as prisoner with no
means of sending word TO those at
home. His friends are buoyed up by
the hope that at the end of the war,
some more encouraging reports may
be forthcoming.
The last word from the Chaplain
to his parents was a New Years
Greeting, received in Crisfield on New
Years Day, but the time of dispatch
was not shown.
Chaplain Quinn had been in the
service of his country, since his ap-
pointment ten years ago.
He was born in Crisfield forty five
years ago. He was graduated from
the Crisfeld High School Glass OF
1916, and later entered the old Mary
land Agriculture College, and George
Washington University. Later, he
completed his education as an Episco,
pal minister.
During his ministry, he served as
Rector Of the Episcopal Church a
Northeast. He was married to Miss
Dorothy Davis of Alvin, Texas, where
he was minister.
Later, he decided to return to the
Navy, and was forthwith appointed
as Chaplain in that branch of the
service. Since that time, he has
served in various parts of the world
mainly in the Orient.
Chaplain and Mrs. Quinn were last
home about IS months ago. Mrs
Quinn is in Honolulu, working in De-
