with the aid of

CHAPTER TEN

1lldL SllC 1ldu WItllCooSo OH az
tual murder was so incredible that
Mallory Bakers f o OF paralyzed
momentarily on the accelerator.
Her legs were shaking. And her
cheek muscles grinned, with that
uncomfortable shaking she used to
feel in them when she first smiled
beneath bright lights.
There's nothing to smile about
now, you idiot" she said to her
self. She spoke the words loudly.
The sound of her own vo C e
seemed to yank her back to horri-
BILE reality. Her foot regained pow
er and trod heavily en- the acceler-
ator; the machine responded to
that quivering pressure, then fl
nally settled down to an even purr.
IF only I'd had my pistol" she
thought. "Yeh? And what would
you have done with it," a haunting
voice seemed to demand. Mallory
had no answer for that. She stole
fleeing glance into the rear vi
sion mirror.
Behind her she could see not.l-
ing. But that was slight comfort.
She hadn't seen much of anything
before she came upon that awful
sight. either. The dusk had taken
care of that.
Where am l. l wonder?" She
tried to catch the numbers on a
kilometer post at the left hand side
of the road. The figures evaded
her. What diff rence did t roake?
She still wouldn't know. IF w e
miles are roughly eight kilome-
ters,' she reviewed, still speak
ing aloud. Pope had told her that.
Well, she didn't have time o r
arithmetic now; all she had time
for was speed. 1t was gratifying
to be away from the worries of
tires and gasoline, to be able to
speed awfull,7-well, kind of law
fully, for there was a speed limit
on the highway.
She began climbing, very, very
gradually at first, but the road re-
NAMED fairly straight. Not so geo.
metrically straight as those some
45 miles right or of Laredo. but
unbending enough that she w S
able to adhere to her 70-mile-an-
hour progress without feeling she
might crash.
She thought, III turn on my
lightsr' Then, No, I won't. Any
thing is better than that brightness
to show where l am Eventually
she had to have light. A few miles
farther, at the right of the road,
she saw an elaborate, Hollywood
type place of stucco and tile. In
front of it was a modern gasoline
station. There were several cars.
The place was alive and gay.
Sabinas Hidalgo, she knew. The
place where Pope and the customs
inspector had urged her to stop.
Even if just for 'coky." "Coky"
was very popular in Mexico, NAL
lory was learning.
There are some marvellous DO
ly-chrome wood carvings there"
she had been told by the Mexicon
who attended to her passport DO
ston and see them

Stock Market Closes
Erratie Session
Al Lower Levels
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Write

NEW YORK, July 2l.-stocks
suffered q series Of nervous break
downs, interspersed with half
hearted recoveries, and market
leaders generally finished the ses-
sion, on their backs or notably
shaky.
While the war news was highly
bullish, as was the reported revolt
IN Germany, most customers sour
ried to neutral territory on the idea
that, with something important pos
sibly developing in Europe over the
week end, safety first was the best
policy. Revival Of peace talk also
was liquidating argument used by
those who feared business disrup-
tionS during reconversion. The Dem
ocratic convention was without much
influence either way. Technical fac
tors connected with the recent drive
to seven-year peaks continued as
handicaps.
The list sold OF at the start on
volume with steels, motors and rails
under pressure. A little short COW
ering and bidding for q quick turn
then stiffened trends. There was
fresh liquidation in the third hour
and subsequent mild rallies with
dealings slackening. CLOSING
declines running to points or so
were widespread. Transfers were In
the vicinity Of 100000 shares.

000, 900 bushels are earmarked for
civilian food, feed, seed and indus
trial uses, l18,000, 900 bushels for
United States military and war
services and for Allies, territories
and other friendly nations and
about 6S,000, 900 bushels for relief
OF liberated areas.
The remainder Of about 435 900 900

1t may be reduced somewhat by
larger use for feed than now is In.

VITA stressed that since produc.
ton and import estimates must be
based on uncertain weather and
shipping conditions, the allocations
were tentative except for July, Au-

only meet all essential requirements
for this crop year but should also
provide substantial carryover As
a protection against possibilities Of
shorter supplies next year. Last

was 350,000, 900 bushels.

Land Values Still Rising.
The Federal Reserve Bank oi
Richmond states that farm land
values in this district still are ris-
ing, despite widespread warnings
from governmental and banking
sources that a danger point is ap-
preaching and that the earning
power of farm lands for many years
following the war and reconstruc-
ton periods cannot be expected to
hold at present levels
Urban real estate values are also
rising in some areas in the Fifth
District, the bank adds These are
principally areas in which popula-
ton has increased and appear in
part to be result of tenants pur-
chasing property to avoid disposses-
sion in the event of the sale of the
property to some other person, the
survey says.

Among the oldest collections 1
have come across is one of Lincoln
head pennies owned by Elaine Fitz-
gerald, IA, Of University Park, Md.
Elaine started collecting pennies
last summer because she became
interested in her neighbor's collec-
ton.
The collection of pennies may
sound simple, "but 1t really isn't"
according to Elaine. She keeps her
coins in folder of blue and silver.
This provides for q penny a year
from 1909 to the present. Elaine
says that the most pennies were
minted, totaling 8S7 ,0OO, 900. In 1909
only one-half million were minted
and in 1926 only 5000, 900.
Elaine has 50 pennies and she
needs only 80 more to I'LL her album.
Victor d. Brenner was the de-
signer of Lincoln-head cents. Some
1922 cents are in circulation with a
faint mint mark. This resulted
from an imperfect die. Elaine says
Elaine's other hobbies are colle.t-
ing United States and foreign
stamps, foreign newspapers and for
eign coins. She also has an old
Confederate dollar bill.
