LARRY COLLINS â€" newspapep repopter, hunting the mupderers of his brother. MIKE BENTLEY â€" wealthy rancher, knew too much about auto accidents. « * « Last week: Larry and Monnie become better friends. One night he asks her to go to a dance, but she has a date with Bentley. When Mike is delayed, Larry stops t: chat. He questions her about the accident on Dead Man's Cupve. She refuses, angrily, to talk about it. "I have a right to know," Larry tells her. "That man was my bro- ther." CHAPTER VIl Mounie relaxed uuder the grip of Larry's fingers. Slie^ looked up at him, unbelieviug. "Your brother?" â- 'Ye«." "But the man wa3 uever iJeuti- fied. He was burned so horribly." "I know it. was Hugh." Larry tried to make bis voice calm. It wasn't easy, talkiug to her like this. His bauds dropped from her shoulders. "When I didn't hear from Hugh, I cam« down to loolv for him. I've beeu all over the west, searching foi- him," L.jrry lied. "I heard about this accident, this unidentified man. I took a chance it might be Hugh. I was right. A dentist's examination con- firmed it." -... "I'm sorry, Larry, terribly sorry." The touch of her hand on liis arm was comforting, her sympathy^ was siuoere. She sat down again, gently pulled him to the swing beside her. "Tell me more about him, Larry." He rolled a cigaret. tried to keep his eye« from ht-r. That Monnie knew more about this accident than she was telling. he was sure. But how could he find out, without arousing her sus- picions.

"And to think," she said a.brupt- ly, "I was the cause of the acci- dent. I killed your hrother, Larry." "Monnie! You don't know what you're saying." "It's true, Larry. I didn't mean to, but I did. It was my fault! Oil, Larry!" Sohs shook her body, {ind Larry's arm went around her then, to pull her head down on his shoulder. After a tew minutes, she 3top.ped crying, dried her eyes and pnslied away from him. "Don't blame me too much, Lar- ry. If I hadn't been driving so fast â€" " * * • "It happened up on Dead Man's Curve," she began. "That's on the highway atjout half-way between here ami Mike's. You know where you leave the concrete to turn into the Hayhook. ... If you went straight on, you'd dip down Into the canyon and then climib a long hill to go by Beutley's. The curve is halfway up the hill. It's a sharp turn, hut it's well marked and not dangerous unless you try to make It too fast. Going up, you have the inside. The canyon floor Is about 300 feet below the curve and it's almost a sheer drop." "I Couldn't Stop" Larry could feel her grow tenso as she forced herself to go on. "On the • night of the accident. Mike called me. It was late but he said he'd just come back from Chicago, flown down with some friends and they wanted to "meet me. He'd brought me some pres- ents, too, and some things I'd asked him to get for me. He couldn't leave his guests, he said, so would I drive right over. "I was on the way inside of half an hour. I always drive fast and I went up tlie hill doing about 50 or (iO. Then at the cuive â€" " She paused briefly, got a new grip on her emotions, then went oil. 'I must have haen about 200 jards from the curve when this car came down the hill. I couldn't stop. Tlie driver apparently made no effort to turn, when he saw my lights. His car crashed through the barricade, plunged over the cliff and rolled down into the can- yon. "I stopped as soon as 1 could. "I stopped as soon as I could, piilled off the, road a little and ran back to where the car had dis- appeared. Far down in the can.von, I could see flames shooting up from the wreckage of the car. Then I heard a shot. '•I stood there, paralyzed, and .>>uddenly, Mike was be«Ide me. To- gether we scrambled and slid down to the car, tried to pull the dead man from the burning wreck. Mike finally succeeded, got burned him- so^lf. "Pretty soon tiiere were other people around and at last two highway patrolmen arrived. Mike talked to them for a bit, then help- ed me climb back up to the road. He brought me home." "They Made Me Say It" "But that's not the story .vou told at the inquest," Larry broke iu. "You testified that the car went over the edge before you reached the turn--" "Mike made me say that. Mike and Daddy." Monnie admitted, ".itter that accident at scliool, and the others 1 had been in. Mike said the coroner would never believe 1 hadn't forced the man off the road. I didn't want to lie about it, Lar- ry" â€" .she was begging him to be- lieve liei- â€" "but Mike was right. With my reputation for fast driv- ing, aud because 1 was the only witness lo the acciilt ill - (hoy )|fho0BinqCinf might hav* tried me tor man- â- laughter. The man was deadâ€" I couldn't help him any, and â€" Oh, Larry, I wanted to tell the truth, But Dad said Mike was light. .\n(l Peie Barnes, too. Won't you try to believe me Larry'?" LfXihiug at her, I^arry knew she was telling the tiiilh. Hugh's death had liK-n :io fault of hers. Iliigli probably saw the lights Of her car, speeding lowai>d him, took the curve ratiit«r th;iu crash into her head-on. Uw^h was like that. Larry would have done the same thing, had he been In Hugh's place. "I believe you. Monnie," he said. "I don't blame you.' "My Brother Never Drank" He paused a minute, puz/.liug over an unanswered question. "How did Bentley get there so fast?" he asked. Monnit> had an answer for tlial. "Mike said ho went outside to wait lor me, right alter he called. He saw this cur go racing down tlie highway, swinging from aide to side, as if the driver was drunk. Mike was afraid there would be a wre-ck if we met, was terrified to think what ittlght happen to me It we met on Dead Man's Curve, so he hurried out to stop me." "Bentley said Hugh drove like he was drunk?" Larry demanded. "Hugh was drunk, Larry. The autopsy showed he had been drink- ing, and a broken whiskey bottle was found Iu hi8 car." "But Monnie,"- Larry counter- ed, "My brother never dranli litiuor in, his life." (To Be Continued) Marria^re Age, 25 Most popular age for marrying is 25.

Mature Women Better Dressed Than They Used to be; Now Can Wear All Colors and Styles; Smart Hats Noted Maturity lias kicked over the fashion traces. No more does tiie woman with college-age children think she must wear nothing but dresses with drav- ed bosoms, or deep V-neckliuos dis- creetly edged in white. If her figure is reasonably good, the mature woman can >veai the high round necklines of youth, and the sharp colors she used to avoid as too gay for her age. IF FIGURE GOOD Good shops rout middle-aged dowdiness with entire departments devoted to dressing size IG and up.

Pearly Teeth Decay Faster Oental Researcti Shows Vital Facts About Tooth Deterior- ation Flashing white teeth may have more appeal, but mottled chalky- appearing ones roc|uire far fewer trijis to the dentist, according to Dr. Wallace D. Armstrong, pro- fessor of physiological chemistry and dentistry at the University of Minnesota. Mottled teeth, Dr. Arrastrongf said, show a greater resistance to decay. Data obtained from seven years of research in a hitherto neglected field .show promise of devloping an effective technique in the prevention of tooth decay â€" an affliction affecting more people than any other chronic disease. FLUOUINE BELIEVED KEY Dr. Armstrong's experimenta have revolved around the theory that the cause of dental caries â€" decay â€" lies' in a deficiency of fluorine, an extremely active chemical substance when present as a gas in the enamel of teeth. High fluorine content, Dr. Arttl- strong said, tends to mottle the enamel. Citing ihe work of H. T. Trind- ley Dean, denial surgeon of U.S. Public Health Service, in proving the direct relationship between mottled teeth and resistance to decay, Dr. .\rnistrong said his experiments conchisievly demon- strated that the amount of fluotw ine in sound teeth is greater than amount in carious teeth. "We have examined so many specimens," he said, "that the probability of error is about one in five million." Controlled administration of fluorine in childhood would "viiv tually eliminate" tooth decay.
