"A MOTHER
Grim death crept through our window
Stealthily stole our love away
She meant 70 very much to lis
In every possible way
Each moment, each hour Of every passing day

Her tender smile and CHEEKY words
Still follow every day.
Her thoughtfulness and kindly deeds
Will live with always,
No matter how hard we strive
To drive sad thoughts away
She was to us SO beautiful
So anxious all the day
That every job begun be well done
Finished in the best way
So to make us happy
She smiled when pains were pressing hard
Yes she smiled and forged her way
To happiness and God.
No more her sweet voice we hear

A rose so sweet and very rare

couldn't ---- --------a
This road amt at for nothin'
but horse a half mile beyond here
I got the horse hid in this barn.
I'm goin' to ride him while you
ladies march in front Come on. get
out! Or do have to drag you OUT"
why can't we ride that half
mile II you're in such a hurry"
Agatha inquired. +Let Clemantine
drive the car as far as she can. You
follow behind on your horse. We
can't get away, II the road is closed
ahead"
But she was thinking desperate
ly TO herself. Clemantine was q
daredevil driver. II she once got
the car in her control, the girl
might outwit q horseman He
looked ss II he were an amateur
rider.
The man frowned, rubbed his
chin Guess that's all right-if it'll
help me get rid Of you any quicker.
You wait here till get my horse"
Clemantine told him sarcastical-
ly. I'VE aren't going anywhere"
He walked through the grass
around behind the old building and
returned in a few minutes leading
tall roam horse, saddled. Agatha
hoped she saw a flicker of spirit in
the beasts eyes. If he'd been stand
ing there, saddled, for long >.
The kidnaper dropped the bride
reins over a post of the rotting
fence beside the road, and united
the rope that held Clemantine s
wrists. She slid into the drivers
seat
Agatha knew that the girls
wrists must be sore and her hands
almost numb. Clemantine, however,
was game. She'd agreed with Aga
that. while their captor had been
getting the horse, that this was
their only chance.
The kidnaper indicated the igni-
ton switch, but in her fumbling
Clemantine turned on the radio by
mistake. The man had TO reach in
and snap on the ignition himself.
The motor started easily for such
a seeming wreck. At the same time
the radio came on, and this time 1t
was not tuned TO the police trans
mitter, but to a regular news
broadcast
:. still missing" said the
announcer caught in the middle of
a sentence, lis the almost priceless
radio tube Professor Halder per-
fected just before he was muir
dered."
Clemantine and the lddnaper
stared at each other. His mouth
dropped open. "Se that's it? Give
me that tube!" He grabbed for il
on the seat beside her.

You're q brute.- Cemantine
told him
The hdnaper turned his head He
actually grinned. You said a
mouthful!"
Agatha was trembling. The ner-
vous tension was beginning to wear
her down She wished she had
Clemantine's youthful courage.
Don't you know you can be sent
to prison for treating a couple OF
helpless women like this ?"
someone's got to catch me
FIRST"
Clemantine shifted. The. police
won't have much trouble II the best
YOU can think Of Is TO hide in the
woods. The police have science on
their side"
"Oh, yeah ?" He turned 30 the
dashboard again. That reminds
me. got science workin' for me,
too" He put his radio in operating
order again and nddied with the
dial. Handy thing, this"
Does 1t have to squawk so?"
Agatha complained.
Taint like a regular broadcast,
ma'am. The police only talk when
they think they've got somethin' to
say. I wish everyone was that
way"
TOO bad we're boring you.
Agatha tried to be fiippant, but her
eyes were glued to the tube he had
taken from Clemantine's hat and
still held In his left hand. She
thought he was about to toss it into
the brush alongside the creek, but
he changed his mind and dropped II
on the seat cushion as a voice came
through the radio. With q quick
gesture Of one hand. he silenced the
women. "Listen!"
The police announcer was on the
air. Attention, all cars! Coat worn
by Miss Clemantine Brown has just
been found on Porter road near the
bay. Discontinue hunt south anc

The kidnaper shut the radio OF

Clemantine seemed bewildered
'But-but I don't understand. How
could my coat be found there? I'm
here"
Your coat amt"
She looked at Agatha, wide
eyed

''They knew the police would broad
cast It. It's a signal"

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE


WHATS THIS?" asked the
surprised driver OF the car, drawing
his dark eyebrows together as he
studied the radio tube In his hand.
The two women, with their
wrists tied behind their backs,
helpless to snatch what seemed to
them a priceless military secret,
stared at each other in bewilder-
ment. They had assumed that he
knew this glass-and-metal gadget
was the reason for their kidnapping.
Tits just some kind Of a do
funny" said Clemantine hastily.
The hat maker stuck 1t In there
TO make the shape Of the hat"
''Do-funny nothing! I know an
old radio tube when see it,"
Agatha nodded quickly. That's
1t! An old tube. always wondered
what they did with old radio
tubes"
The dark eyes gave her a scorn-
FIJI, bloodshot glance. The heavy
jaw of the kidnaper slid slightly to
one side, you wouldn't try to get
funny with me, would you?"
What an absurd ideal"
Il always was kinda curious
about women's hats" He picked
up Clemantine's headgear again
Wouldn't be no use at all In the
rain"
Careless Of breakage, he dropped
the radio tube onto the seat be.
side him. Agatha's heart almost
stopped.
His clumsy fingers were explor'
ing the lining of the hat again. He
grinned over the back of the front
seat at his breathless passengers
as he ripped the cloth out, a little
at a time
IT hope you're enjoying your
self" said Clemantine.
He grunted. A moment later HI
dropped the hat onto the floor II
disgust. Thought maybe you'd hic
a letter In that hole" He picked w
the radio tube again, swung around
with his back to his prisoners anc
bent attentively over the shining
glass and metal object Don't lool
like it's an old tube. Looks to m,
like new one. Kinda funny shape
Don't think I've seen one like Il
before"
He turned of the dashboarr
radio-which had only been crack
ling voicelessly, anyway - anc
reaching around under it he unfas
tened one Of its tubes, which HI
brought out for comparison HIN
The one from your hat is four times
bigger. Different things inside 1t
too"
Hoping to divert his attention
Agatha asked, Surely you're no
going to leave US tied like this al
day?"
He didn't look up. Lady, II yor
don't like them ropes, I'll put a gas
in your mouth SO you can't tall

WAR in BURMA
IS STEPPED UP
BRITISH FORCES ENGAGED
WITH ENEMY ALONG
ENTIRE FRONT

NEW DELHI, Mar. 18.-The
tempo of the war in Burma has
been stepped up in the last "a
hours, according to reports that
have been received here from the
front.
The British forces are engaged
with the enemy along the entire
front, while British and American
planes have disrupted several of
fensive movements that have been
launched by the Japs since yes
terday.
In one sector, the Japs were de-
cisively defeated, and fell back to
their lines held two days ago,
while along the remainder of the
front the British are reported to
be holding firmly.
Allied airlines are engaged in
blasting the Nipponese all along
the line, and Allied attacks from
the air. particularly in the vicin-
tiles of the Yangtse and the Sal
vein rivers, threw the Japs into
confusion, while British ground
troops kept up a constant fire.

He pointed out that sucn de-

factor toward bringing about
initiation. The higher wages
become, the higher becomes the
cost of living, with a reciprocal

of living, but with the latter
continuing to 90 I'D every time
