lence at the car; and Adam came
to see. And then he felt the inside
of himself suddenly slip away like
wheat out of bin from which the
bottom Is removed.
The windows of the coupe were
closed, and they were somewhat
clouded by a gray deposit of silt
accumulated during the days the
car had lain here submerged. These
windows were, incredibly, not bro
ken; the car must, turning in the
air as 1t fell, have landed on its
wheels. The window toward them
was that on the cars left side, next
to the wheel.
And against the glass of this win
dow, from within, a hand was
pressedl
Four slender fingers touched the
window, from knuckle to first joint;
the backs of four fingers. There
was upon one of them a ring, a gold
band, wedding ring. The hand with
the fingers pressed against the glass
had moved little, in a short arc
that left a smeared quarter-circle
in the silt on the glass. There was
in this mark a terrible suggestion
that the hand had moved in signal,
in last pitiful appeal!
They could see the rest of this
hand dimly, the forearm family;

THE STORY THUS FAR: Adam Bruce,
FBI operator, Inspector Tope and Mrs.
Tope met In the Maine woods. Tope found
man murdered at auto camp operated
by Bee Dewain. He was believed TO be
Mr.. Ledforge, head Of New England utili-
ties. Ledforge's friend was found in hos
pital with head injuries. His chauffeur,
Kell, was located, admitted that he hit
Holdom ON head, upon Holdom's orders.
Kell claimed he was hunting for his wife.
Tope and Bruce went out 10 lodge where
Eberiy, another friend Of Ledforge's, was
staying. They knew by now that the
murdered man was not Ledforge. They
also knew that woman and man were
present about the time the murder was
committed.
The midland journal., 1946-03-08

"You promised to tell me IL Mrs,
Kell was found"
but nothing else at all save one
thing: about the wrist, something
like a black cord was knotted; seen
even thus dimly, it seemed to have
been knotted tightly, to have cut
into the soft flesh.
And this was, clearly, woman's
hand and arm.
Cumberland muttered: "Tope,
there's someone in the car"
Tope nodded. ''It's Mrs. Kell,"
he said briefly. "You'n have to-"
He checked, his thoughts absorbing
him. ''Lower the car again, till it's
awash," he directed absently.
"Swim out or make a raft or some
thing-get her out of there quick S
you can. Send for the ambulance.
Take her to the undertaker's. I'll
meet you there"
He turned and strobe away, Adam
beside him; they reached the car
and started down the road. They
came to where Ned Quill held two
cars of newspaper men in restraint,
Adam turned off the road, crashing
through the underbrush to pass
them; and Tope leaned out and
shouted:
"Let them 60 on up, Ned! There's
a murdered woman in the car, up
there. They've got right to be on
the spot!"
Then as the newspaper cars start
ed up the hill, he bade Adam stop,
called Quill.
"Ned," he said, "I'l be in town,
at the undertaker's. Come up there
when you've seen the Tenant girl"
Right" Quill agreed; and he
said: doctor Medford's on his way
down here. I talked to him on the
phone awhile ago."
Tope nodded. "Good. Well watch
for him." he agreed.
They went on. When they turned
into the main road, Tope pointed to
an approaching car, cried sharply
"Hold up! There's Medford."
Doctor Medford alighted to speak
to them; and his tone was respect
full. "You were right, Inspector -
he said.
"Found drug in him. eh?" Tope
asked.
"Gas in his lungs" the medical
examiner replied. sand doped

STATE ROAD PLAN
RAMS CONSTRUCTION
OF MONKEY TONKS

The State Road department,
which, by virtue of a recent lease
agreement with the Overseas
Road and Toll Bridge district,
controls 1000 acres of lands in
the area, will not sell any of the
lands within the district territory.
il was stated at a Marathon meet-
ing of the SRD Friday.
The department said that it was
willing to grant favorable leases
which would be acceptable to
prospective builders and develop
ers and leases of long duration
but added that in each lease
would be specifications as to a
proper type of building.
This plan, it is expected, will
eliminate the so-called honkey-
tonk types of establishments in
the district.

Sugar Production
Sets New Record
In 'Clades Mill

CLEWISTON, May 20 (FNS).-
Breaking every existing record
in Everglades history and estab-
fishing new worlds record for
amount of cane ground by a
single tandem mill, the 1945-46
sugar harvest of 100000 gross
tons of cane ended as the last
freight car was dumped at the
sugar house of the United States
Sugar Corp.
With whistles blowing, torpe-
does on train tracks exploding,
the 40, 190th car from South Bay
Plantation was dumped at the
sugar house before a celebrating
audience of more than 800 per-
sons, as the 193-day season came
to a close.
The new worlds grinding rec
ord for single .tandon mill was
established by the sugar house,
largest in the nation, with the
grinding of 977,961 net tons of
cane during the season. Grinding
will continue for the next three
days, when final production fig
ures will become available for
the season, which already is
known to be a record-breaking
one.
For a sugar-short nation, the
present harvest has produced
enough sugar to provide every
man, woman and child in the
United States with one months
supply.
Approximately 10000 acres of
cane were cut and handled with
more than 400 freight car loads
of cane moving in daily from the
company's twelve plantations ex-
tending some so miles through
the Everglades.
Following the closing of the
sugar house, all sugar house en-
ployees along with those of the
transportation division will re-
ceive a weeks vacation, after
which all equipment will be
overhauled during the summer
months and placed in condition
for the beginning of the new
harvest next October.

Boca Chica Officer Tells
a, Of Outwitting Jap Pilots

Z Diminutive Lieut.. jg) C. E.
Rutledge, Orlando, settled back
in his chair and, in nostalgia
voice, began to recall the early
days of the. war when he was
exposed to an environment much
less serene than that behind the
Officer of the Days desk at Boca
Chica.
1t. Rutledge enlisted as an
aviation cadet in September of
1912 and received his wings at
Corpus Christi, Texas, Sept. 4,
1943. He qualified in carrier
landings at Great Lakes and
joined a fighter squadron of
F4U's aboard the USS Hancock,
CV-19. Shortly thereafter he
found himself 100 miles off the
shore of Japan, participating in
fighter sweeps over Kyushu.
The lieutenant found his first
appearance in the international
affair was almost his last. While
firing rockets on naval installa-
tions his plane was hit by Jap
anese ack-ack from the Kago-
Shima air base.
With his engine suffering he
returned to within a few miles
of the carrier and then made a
forced landing in the ocean. He
was picked up by d destroyer
and returned to his carrier group.
Undaunted, he then began to
fly air support this time for the
. invasion of OkinaWa.
During this mission kam|kaze
plane struck the bow of the Han
cock putting the hanger and
flight decks in a caretaker status.
Rutledge barely landed but es-
capped this time too.
During the surrender in Tokyo
Bay, Rutledge was in the air
armada overhead. Shortly there
after he kissed the soil of the
United States. He brought back
five air medals.

is then advisable to give the
