ton. Eleonore-what had hap
pened to her?
He asked to see some of the lead
ers of the search for Miss Lawrence.
A young mar came up and said,
Pm Theron BARLEY, her brother
in-laW," and Bill answered with a
twisted smile, Eyes? Well, l happen
to be closer than that. My name is
Steuben."
Major Tyrell put in, "I'm helping
direct the search. Have you any
suggestions?"
"Have they dragged the beaver
pond?"
The Majors face grew sombcr-
"No. Not yet. We've sent q posse
over the ridge. She might be lost,
you know"
Bill nodded. "Try Marble Ledge.
She could have fallen-or been
pushed-over the cliff"
The firemen dragged the pond,
but it yielded nothing. The cellar
of the big house, the floors and
every Granny of the barns and out
buildings were searched. All in
vain.
Tom Deming, one of the militia
guerrillas, said to Bill, wistfully, Il
knew her. She aros pretty as a
magazine cover girl"
His use of the past tense made
Bills wound throb with sudden vlo-
lence.
By one o'clock. Bill Steuben col
lapsed and, still fighting the idea of
a hospital, was motored by Theron
BARLEY to the Lawrence home. Ly-
ing on a couch, he fell asleep.
1t was Sukey who gave him the
clue-frightened little Sukey, sit
ting beside him when he Weakened
several hours later.
"Four o'clock!" he exclaimed.
"She isn't found?"
MOO" faltered Sukey. I'll
wonder if they've searched the
cave"
He made a queer sound, Hfted
himself on his good arm. Gave?
What cave?
ooh, that spooky one m the IA
vine. Eben says there are ghosts
there, ghosts of Tories, but Gran
said he was only fooling.'
"Do any Of the others know about
this cave?"
Doris does. Dad took me to the
entrance once"
Bill threw off the covering, stag
gered to his feet. "Then you can
show me where it is! Come, Sukey
hurry"
Only a few in the county, enthusi-
asts like "Spellunk' Adams, knew
the exact location of Torres Cave.
"Spellunk", who would have been
of much help in the search,
taken the train to Buffalo early that
morning, and knew nothing OF ETC

asked if there wasn't a cave around

"Sure," said Sukey.
They had been followed by a
great fan-tail OF hurrying men.
Sukey led the way down the rocky
passage, the others crowding close:

CHAPTER THIRTY

After a doctor had dressed Bills
shoulder wound, Osborne, his chief
from the Counter Intelligence
Corps, explained the raid: Chief Of
Police MacCandless had called them
last night. A net of Home Guard
boys, detectives and police, had en-
circled the Wolfe house from dark
on, waiting for the GIG and the FB1
men to arrive, before making ar
rests.
Then the news got around some
how. The citizens rose up IN wrath,
grabbed guns and carving knives
anything, vowed to clean up the
Nazi cesspool, and started on the
march. They We're still coming!
Look out the window.
Bill did, and saw a throng Of hum
dreds, perhaps a thousand, men and
boys milling about, carrying clubs
and guns; he even saw some women
with rifles. A good sign, perhaps,
for it showed that Americans were
aroused from their complacency,
and realized that the war was total
and right here at home.
Bill soon learned that the FBl
had nabbed Baalah Jones last night
in NevoYork as he was stepping
into a taxi. Rab Pixley was miss
ing from the Country Club; he had
left in a hurry ove a week ago,
hadn't taken his clothes or even his
toothbrush. Carlotta, the servants,
Herr Friedrich and nine students,
were all housed in the local jail. The
officers had a hard time getting them
safely through the mob!
"The Lawrence girl?" Bill asked
hoarsely.
Osborne made an "rrr-ing" sound
Of dismay. "You know about her?'
"Still missing?"
1--WE had a letter from her Tues
day, saying she had been followed
lately. Looks bad, doesn't it,"
Bill remembered that Carlotta
had remarked, "They will hunt and
hunt, and find nothing." He said IN
a hollow tone, "Dead-look for her
grave"
Then Bill rapidly divulged the
ramitications of the plot to seize the
bombers, load them at the local field
and send them on their flaming
routes. The secret service men u.s.
tened grimly. The arrests had beer
made none too soon. The bombs
were IN hiding nearby? Probably
cached near the airport. They would

Brander Matthew once said,
insofar as Americanism is

good thing. The man, who does
not think his own country the
finest in the world is either a
pretty poor sort of man or else
he has a poor sort of country"

CHICAGO, Feb. 23-(P -
An escaped convict who had
been serving 80 to so years in
Michigan for kidnapping and
armed robbery was sought to-
day in connection with the no
tel bathtub death of Mrs.
Blanche Zimmerman, chief of
Detectives Walter Storms an
nounced.
Storms identified the man as
Joseph Medley. 43, alias j. H.
Gardner. The captain said five
witnesses had positively iden-
titled Medley from pictures as
the man who rented the hotel
room in which the woman's
body was found Feb. 10.
Capt. Thomas Duffy and 1t.
Philip Breitzke of the homicide
squad said Medley's picture and
fingerprints had been sent to
New Orleans police where an
attempt was being made to link
Mrs. Zimmerman's death with
that of Miss Laura Fischer, for
mer New York textile worker,
on Christmas eve.
The two deaths bore many
points of similarity. In neither
case was the cause of death eS-
tablished, and no marks of viO-
lence were visible on either
body. In the case of Mrs. Zim-
norman a further examination
of the vital organs is being
made, but an autopsy eliminat-
ed the usual poisons, electrocu-
ton, or drowning. Both were
found in bath tubs.
At New Orleans Detective
Chief John J. Grosch said des-
criptions of the men who rent
ed Chicago and local hotel
rooms showed several resemb-
lances. He said the registration
card handwritings would be
compared.
The New Orleans registration
was under the name of D. j.
Stafford, but the Chicago room
was in the name of a man Civ
ing a Dallas, Tex, address. No
trace has been found Of the lat
ter.
Storms said Medley escaped
from Southern Michigan prison
at Jackson on Nov. q while on
a trusty's trip downtown with
500 belonging to other convicts
and guards who were investing
in war bonds.
Medley, Storms reported, was
serving 30 to go years for the
kidnapping and armed robbery
of Louis E. Brooks, wealthy
Marshall, Mich, manufacturer.
The fugitive was accused, with
three companions, of stealing
$4,000 in currency, jewelry,

WASHINGTON, FEB. ZS-A)
President Roosevelt will come
home from the Crimea Confer

and one of the toughest Will
be what to do about wages.

ers were turning on him just be-
fore he left on his IA 900 mile
journey-to let worker earn

no change in the formula means
labor will carry its case to the

Just as soon as it can get an ap-

WAGE ISSUE
Before he went away, Mr..
Roosevelt told both CIO and
AFL heads that he would post
pone action on their request that
wages be tied to the fluctuating
cost of living index until the
WLB had concluded its wage in
vestigation. Now that the report
is submitted, decision is up to
him.
But that's only one Of many
domestic and foreign questions
he will find in his incoming
desk file on his return from
Yalta and the Middle East.
Awaiting action among others
will be:
