) PAGE FIVE LOVE SHY - Instaliment two girls have been early childhood; live side by side in family house in all her life Janet and taken care of the latter's lazi- ed to escape from it some day. She has tried to avoid falling in love, but is perilously near it with Jimmy Warren, who works in the filling station with her father. Jimmy actually is the son of the president of the Miracle Oil Com- pany, but Janet does mot know this, He and Janet were with le and her friend Butch Krause, the night of Adelaide' i On that night, Saturday, they all four went to Pussycat Inn together. Jimmy and Janet, tiring of the noise, left early. Janet had slept late on Sunday and had been wakened by a telephone call from Ade- laide's mother announcing that Adelaide had not been heard from since the previous night. Janet immediately went to the Morris home and tried to comfort Mrs. Morris, who is sure that Adclaide is lost to her. At her own moth- er's suggestion Janet sends for Jimmy--poor Jimmy whom she refuses to love because he is poor like herself--and he takes charge of things. But calls to the hospi- tals and police fail to give any clue to Adelaide's whereabouts and Mrs. Morris is forced to tele- graph Adelaide's father, now in Wheeli Va. on i "I have it," Mrs. Lane put in tri- umphantly, "You go call up Jimmy Warren, Janet. He's a smart young man and he was with you last night, You just see what he thinks about it. Tell hinr to come over here. Rosie," this to Mrs. Morris, "Rosie, you go put some clothes on and I'll tidy up your kitchen and make us some tea. Janet, you get your young man over here and we'll all decide what's to be done---" "Adelaide may call up any minute now," Janet objected. "And Adelaide may be needing our help this very minute, you go do what I tell you." Janet went to the telephone and called Jimmy's boarding house. "Mr. Warren?" his landlady's voice answered, "He's still asleep." "Please wake him then," Janet begged. "It's really important---" After a pause Jimmy's voice came over the wire. Rapidly Janet told him of Adelaide's disappearance, Jimmy Takes Charge "That's too bad," Jimmy said so- berly, "I feel sort of responsible be- cause we went away and left them. But I'll tell you, Janet, I'd pin my lhiopes on Butch. Butch is as square as they come and I can't imagine his letting Adelaide get into any real trouble. I'll come over right away and we'll see what's to be done." Janet felt as though a load had been lifted from her shoulders. Jim- my was coming to take charge of things. Surely he could think of something to help. Mrs. Morris had come down by this time. She was wearing a black dress and 'had washed all the make-up off her face. She was very pale, except for the red around her eyes, and she assumed the attitude that Adelaide would never be seen again. "I'll send that wire to her papa now," she told Janet, "But God help me if Addie isn't home when he tele- phones tonight." By the time she had sent her wire to Wheeling, Jimmy arrived. It was his first meeting with Adelaide's mother and Janet observed how his courteous quiet manner seemed to soothe the distraught woman. "Now," said Jimmy when the in- troductions and explanations were over, "the first thing to do is to tele- phone all the hospitals and to in- quire at the police station. 'There's no publicity about that; we'll just ask if they know of an accident or anything like that, You start calling the hospitals here, Janet, and I'll go over to your telephone and call the Pussycat on a chance they know something, and then if they don't I'll call the police." Janet began the dreary round of the hospitals, drawing a blank at each place. In half an hour Jimmy returned, his face very grave. "They say at the Pussycat that Butch and Adelaide left alone about 2 o'clock. They're sure of it because Francois, the head waiter, was at the | other si By Barbara Webb Copyright by Public Ledger door and said good-night to them as they left. And the police have no reports of accidents involving a girl like Adelaide." "Yes, there is," he agreed. "I wish you wouldn't go right to bed. I'll. be back in an hour and a half at the latest and 1 might have some news for you. I'll walk past the house anyway and if I see a light and have anything to tell you I'll stop in." "I'll wait for you," Janet promised. Jimmy strode from the house to his car, parked near the curb on the : gh the street. He didn't care a tinker about Adelaide and Butch; they could take care of them- selves. But he did want to see that troubled look leave Janet's eyes and he felt sure he knew of a way to find the lost pair. Half an hour later he was going up the steps of the Warren town house and, as on a previous call, he found his. father reading in the library, "Well, well, son, this is a surprise," Mr. Warren said, shaking hands with Jimmy and clapping him on the shoulder. "Sit down and tell me what I can do for you." "My girl's in trouble," Jimmy be- gan, "No personal trouble, but a friend of hers has disappeared and I want to try to find her." "I see," Mr, Warren lighted a cigar. "Tell me all about it. I have talked with Mildred several times lately--" he sighed. "Mildred's not happy. 1 wish she could get over her infat- vation for Duncan Phillips -- but that's neither here nor there. [I've talked with her and she says your Janet is everything you said she was and more." "That's fine," Jimmy said heartily. "I knew Mildred liked her--" "Well--let's get back to your story --one 'of Janet's friends has disap- peared and you want to find her--" NJanet loves him. Jimmy takes Re-enforcements It was a very quict group of people who gathered around the supper table in the Morris dining room that even- ing. Mrs, Lane had made tea and an omelet and some hot biscuits. She had sent Janet for a glass of currant jelly and some lettuce for a salad. But in spite of the really excellent food no one ate very much. Mrs. Morris listened constantly for the telephone. Mr, and Mrs. Lane felt deeply for their friend in trouble. Janet kept blaming herself for having left Adelaide behind the night before and Jimmy was busy with some train of thought of his own. Nine o'clock came and no word of any kind from the missing girl. Jim- my, taking out his watch, got to his feet. "I'm going out to see if I can find out anything about Butch," he told Janet. "I suppose some one of you will stay here with Mrs, Morris to- night" "Yes, mother will stay, I'll go home with father," she answered, "there's teally nothing I can do, and there's Johnson Jimmy told his story and his father listened in silence. When the account was finished Mr. Warren picked up |a telephone, gave a private number and then said, "Send Johnson over." Jimmy's face lighted. up,. "That's just what I hoped you'd do, Father. Johnson ought to be able to find them in twenty-four hours, don't you think." "He should, if the trails fresh," he smiled at his son. "Funny, isn't it? I've had Johnson on the payroll for fifteen years and I've only had to call on him three times and never because of any trouble with the com- pany." Johnson, who arrived very shortly, was a private detective in the employ of, the Miracle Oil Company, . but since they were always fair to their employes and never had any labor trouble at their plants, he led an idle life, Mr. Warren occasionally sent him on some private mission, but mostly he idled about his quarters on the third floor of the Warren house or read novels in the office set aside for him at the main plant, He was a small, wiry little man with alert eyes and nervous hands. "Good evening, sir," he said to Mr, Warren, "Hello, . Jimmy. You in trouble ?" Mr. Warren laughed. "He wants you to locate a young lady for him, Johnson, You'll be getting fat if I don't give you something to do soon, See if you can help Jimmy out of his present troubles." Johnson grinned. "Sure I can. 1 can find any woman that ever walked if you'll tell me what she looks like. Spill the story, Jimmy." "Jimmy complied and Johnson lis. tened thoughtfully. When the story was finished, the detective said, "Looks like this fellow Butch. had something to do with it, doesn't it?" "I suppose so," Jimmy said slowly, "but I don't think he meant her any harm, or willingly got her 'into trouble. He's not that kind. He's rough, tough, even, if you like, but I believe he's on the level so far as this Most Heat for the Money CONGER'S high grade fuels are each selected _ for low ash, long burn- ing and high heating efficiency. .

"He'll find her," Mr. Warren assured his son. "Yes, I think he will" Jimmy | agreed, "but I hope he does it quick- | ly, for Janet thinks she's partly { blame for Adelaide's disappearance | and until Adelaide is back she won't be able to think o: anything else." "Not even of you?" and Jimmy's father shot his son a keen glance from under his gray eyebrows "Not even of me," Jimmy admitted, "and I don't know how much she thinks of me as it is. I'm suré she likes me better than she did at first, but she's not all ready to drop into my arms by any means." "Do you think it would make any difference if she knew who you were?" "I think it would," said Jimmy hon- estly, "I don't think it would make Irer love me any quicker, but it] might make her give in quicker, be- cause I've got a pretty good idea from our conversations that she hates the way she has to live." "When you first went out to that filling station you only meant to stay a month--the month is up now, are you going to stay on there, or do you want to be sent into one of the small- er plants?" "Waiting Is Terrible" "I'd like to stay where I am until-- until--" "Until Janet says 'ves,' " father fin- ished for him. "Until Janet says 'ves,' then I think I'll need a long vacation before I take on another job--a vacation abroad with Janet along." "Sounds like a good idea to me," Mr. Warren said, smiling, "Get all that honeymoon fever gut of your system, then come back to settle down to real work, is that it?" "That's it, father, but meantime I'll just stay where I am. 1 don't mind the work, and I already know a good many ways we can improve our service to customers from watch- ing things there at the station. Janet's father is there, you know, and I can talk about her every day, whe- ther I see her or not. I'm going to promote: Mr. Lane when Janet mar- ries me--don't ycu think that's an idea?" "Good idea," his father said, "but don't even hint at it until you're sure of the girl" "I won't," Jimmy promised, Then "I guess I'll run along, father--and Just as soon as this disappearance affair is over I think I'll be coming in with some real news." "Good luck, son," said the Warren. affectionately. Jimmy went back to Brooklyn. IHe saw a light burning in the Lane front room and stopped to talk to Janet, The sight of her white face and un- happy eyes smote him, and he longed to take her in his arms and comfort her. But he knew that this was not the time, "Any news?" she asked in a low tone. "None yet, but," lie smiled reassur- ingly at her. "I've been making some inquiries and I believe that within elder the next twenty-four hours, forty- eight at the most, we'll have her back here with us, safe and sound." "Oh, I hope s0," Janet breathed. "Her mother is nearly distracted. She talked to Mr, Morris half an hour ago and he's on his way home now. But it's this not knowing--this wait- ing, waiting 'is terrible." "Yes, waiting is terrible," said Jimmy--but it is doubtful if they were thinking of the same kind of wait- ing after all. : (To Be Continued Tomorrow) A bolt does us Democrats no good, What we need is a time lock.~Dal- las News, No matter how high you fet in a lane, you're only a. stone's throw rom the ecarth.--~Thomaston (Ga.)

New Move in Controversy, Between Government and Insurance Companies Mexico City, Jan. --~William P. Massie. manager. ¢ Mexico of the Sun Life Insurance Company of Canada, today was under orders of expulsion as an "undesirable foreign- er" under article 33 of the Mexican constitution {The expulsion order, signed by Pre- | sident Emilio Portes Gil, was made public Thursday night by the Depart- meny of the Interior shortly after the /District Court had granted a temporary injunction to the Sun Life against suspension of its right to sell | policies in Mexico by the Department | of Industry, Commerce and Labor. The action was taken because of alleged disrespect shown by Massie toward Mexican authorities in a statenient to the press last Friday af- ter the Department of Industry, Com- merce and Labor had suspended his company's permit to sgll policies, Denies Legality Rule In that statement Massie denied the Department's charge that his com- pany had not complied with the laws of Mexico, declaring that the laws did not require investment of his com- pany's reserevs in Mexican securities as demanded by the Department. Massie's remarks were turned over to the Interior Departinent for action. That department in turn submitted them to President Portes Gil who then exercised his right to order X= pulsion. Massie himself could not be located after the order was issued. Inquiries at his home brought the reply he was not spending the night there and fur- ther information was refused. The controversy between Canadian companies and the Mexican Govern- ment has arisen over a ruling which compels all foreign insurance compa- nies to invest their reserves in Mexi- can securities, The companies named have refused to comply with this law, with the result that they have been suspended by the Mexican govern- ment. It is believed the ruling will be rescinded when the issue comes before the courts.
