ment, and tried not to think of what might have been. If Pat had returned to the car sooner
 They were almost to their des- tination when Pat told Dave and Clem, who were riding inside with her while the other two men stood on the running boards, that Ran dolph Atherton had denied sending the red roses to Joe Parker's funeral.
 Maybe he didn't, Patricia" :" Clem suggested dubiously. May be-No."
 "What?" Pat and Dave asked together.
 The sports editor gave them a fleeting. apologetic smile.
 Never mind" he said.
 Were you by any chance going to say that maybe someone else used Atherton's name?" Dave guessed, and Clem nodded.
 Something like that, only it hardly makes sense."
 He might have gone on, but just then Sam Blair leaned down and yelled in at them:
 Ease up a bit, Dave. A truck just stopped at the car"
 The truck driver was staring pop-eyed at the body when they drew alongside. He swallowed hard and pointed, too shocked to speak.
 Yeah. Pop. we know Blair snapped. Know what happened?"
 Pop" shook his head dumbly. No" he said, but he wasn't there when I went down while ago."
 Pat felt tight little knot swell up in her throat. Her knees felt like they had turned to water and she frightened her hold on Dawes arm to keep from falling.
 Was your truck the last one to pass here?' she asked the truck driver. Going down to the bridge I mean"
 "Yes'm. Half an hour or SC ago."
 She loked up at Dave. then at the others. When she spoke her voice was scarcely more than a whisper.
 His truck-I left the hill when he passed she faltered. If MT Atherton wasn't-in there-then- Oh, Dave, almost ran right into whoever did it." (TO Be COntinued)

 Mrs. Kennedy watched her chil- oren with blank expression yester- day until Douglas suddenly began to cry. The mother rose in bed held out her arms and cried:
 "Why that's my baby
 At that her memory returned and hospital attaches were certain that a complete recovery had been ef- fected.

THE TRUCK CHAPTER VIII


 Joe Parker and now Ram dolph Athertoni
 Later Pat forgot, for the most part, the terror that swept over her like e bitter wind as she stared at Randolph Atherton's lifeiess bo0y and the long, thin knife that protruded from be- tween. his shoulder blades.
 After the first shock had passed, she knew she must reach a tele- phone and, suddenly, the farm house a quarter of mile back up the road seemed as far away as Tibet.
 High heels were not made for comfortable walking, especially on a windswept highway, and Pat found the going hard, but she gritted her teeth and kept on. Once, when he foot slipped on a patch of snow and sharp pain knifed through her ankle, she cried aloud.
 The young farmer who ans wered her knock took one look at her disheveled appearance and took 1t for granted that some thing was wrong. He opened the door wider.
 Inside, Pat felt better. The warmth from the leaping fire in the grate drove some of the ten sion from her body. She turned to the young man.
 Have you telephone?"
 Silently, he motioned to the table by the window.
 ''There-there's man down the road,' she fumbled for suitable explanation. Hes dead mur- dered." She saw the excitement and suspicion that leaped into his eyes and went on: Twill you go back with me when I've called the police in Midvale?"
 "Yes, Miss"
 ~He seemed to be considering her words and Pat knew what he was thinking.
 "Just a minute" The farmer had crossed the room to her side. He took the instrument from her hands. "1'll call for you"
 He told the operator to get the police station, then handed her the telephone. The desk sergeant parked into her ear She told him what had happened and heard his excited Be right with you, Miss Cleveland" She hung up and looked around at the young farmer, who was standing behind her.
 I'm sorry. Maam," he apolo- gized, rather embarrassed. But, you see"
 Forget it," Pat interrupted, T know just what you mean. Ready?"
 Dave swung his car viciously by the Road Closed" sign and sped down the highway toward the bridge that the Atherton Company was building. Sight of the couple hurrying out of the farm yard brought startled gasp from him. :, He slammed on the brakes and the car rocked to wild stop. ''Pet!" Dave yelled, jumping out. Are you all right?" He caught her hands in his. Pat, whatever has happened? You look ltEs-"
 His voice faded into question ing silence. Pat bit her lips to stop their trembling
 "Atherton-is dead"
 The wind whipped the words from her lips and flung them out across the hopeless gray world. She shivered convulsively.
 You poor kid," Dave muttered. She was in his arms then, sob- bing her heart out against his shoulder.
 The tall farmer, Mike Cassidy, ended the suspense by repeating what Patricia had told him. When he finished his listeners looked from one to another in amaze
