She \$,she<l rher roadstand was on the main high way; she should have taken Ned's advle. O'er husband had wanted to buy a piece of land On the main highway, and she.had protested against the extra expense. Besides, her place was on the road that led to the lake. Business had been good. But tonight It was lonesome. Then, too, the police call early In the evening had upset her. "Calling all cars!" always made her anxious. Ned drove one of them. "Cal.ing all cars. Calling all cars. Blockade all roads leading from Bingham. Look for a green sedan, two men. Big hold-up on the turnpike. Proprietor of gar&ge shot. Stand by for Instructions. Car No. 12 take Parsons road at four comers.** Anne had listened eagerly. Now as >he glanced uneasily at the dock, she decided to close up. Anne slipped her arms jnto her raincoat and went outside to close, the shutters. As she struggled with -tbetn, a car zoomed down the road, throwing her into bold relief. It swung Into the yard and stopped. She saw it was Ned'^ car and was about to call out when a man stepped oat. Then another and still a third. "Hey, Girl, give me a bite to eat, will you ?" the taller one said. He strode up to the door: The second man was more clearly revealed. It was Ned. And t<> her amazement he gave no sign of knowing her. Instead he trod closely on the heels of the tall man and was In turn closely followed. Anne, trembling with sudden terror followed then). She was no fool. Ned had not wanted to be recognised. She stilled the tumult in her breast and stepped briskly behind tbe counter. Tbe three men sat on the stools, Ned In the middle. "Hamburger with onion," said the tall man. Ann forced herself to obey the order as casually as possible. 'I was Just getting ready to close up," she said pleasantly. "Coffee "Sure. See you've got a radio." She turned knd caught the glint of •his cold gray eyes. "It doesn't work," she replied ealmly. 1 He was trying to find out if. she had heard the call! Under cover of the counter, she pulled the plug. The man grunted as he turned the dial and got no response. Then he fell to eat- 49.^ ing. Anne's eyes glanced at Ned. He avoided her gaze. If only he would give her a sign! What could she do? She noticed with a shudder that each of Ned's guards held one hand in his coat pocket She was certaip now that they had abandoned their car and were forcing her husband to help them in a getaway. That meant danger. Her eyes fell on the oil stove. The oil suddenly gave a little glug-glug. It was almost empty. This was ber chance! "Would you men mind tending store a few minutes?" she said, laughing a little. "I must fill up my bottle before I go home." "Sure," the smaller man said gruffly. "Always want to please tbe ladies. Hurry, will you?" "Maybe I could help?" said the taller one, leering knowingly. "Need anyone to keep you company, Sister?" "Oh, thanks I No, I guess I'd make better time alone," dimpling coquettishly. "The tank's downstairs." Couldn't use her own telephone. Top risky. She would have to ran across the road to Mrs. Messer's camp. . "Phone the police," she cried breathlessly throwing open the door. "Tell theta the bandits and Ned are at my stand. Hurry!" Like a wraith, she was out again, swallowed up by the night As she entered tbe entry, she smoothed back her heavy hair, wiping off the mist Taking a long breath, she picked up a full bottle and carelessly sauntered In. "Everything all O. K?"V she said smiling into the taller man's eyes. "All here! Guess we'll bare another cup 'f coffee." As she stepped forward, ber sodden shoes went squish! The tall man glanced up sharply. "How'd you git your feet wet goin' down cellar?" he asked Suspiciously "Listen, Girl, If you try any funny business." ,, "What are you talking about!" she retorted. "And what do you mean by/ funny business?" pretending to be peeved. "Anyway, I don't like your tone." . "But your feet?" "The. cellar's a ifaud floor ; It's soaked if you must know." That wasn't good enough. She knew it, for his^yes, cold and unbelieving continued to bore Into hers. She .felt her face blanching. He set down his cup so hard it splashed over onto the counter arid reached over to the back. The dangling radio cord gave her away. "You little liar!" he snarled.

PETERSON Contractor and Builder TeL 262 McHenry, 111. 35-tf SOLVENT FOUND TO SEND GUM, CARBON OUT THE EXHAUST In Nenr Newspaper Advertising, the 8kelly Oil Company Anbounces K-27. Toronto.--The hectic "race of ambitious -- and expectant -- Canadian mothers for 8500,000 of the estate of the late Charles Vance Millar has just reached Its most feverish pace of Intensity. One of the leading contenders in the "maternity marathon" hopes to give birth to twins in the near future. This probably would clinch her claim to a big slice of the Millar fortune, and she would go down In history of local parturition as the winner of the unique "blessed-event sweepstakes," or "stork derby," as It has come to be known. Mr. and Mrs, Ollva Dlonne, parents of Canada's famous quintuplets, are not eligible for the prise,, since they do not reside In Toronto. Millar was a rich- attorney, sportsman, capitalist--and possessed of a most sardonic sense of humor. Following his death tn October, 1926, probate of his will revealed this singular provision: ,» • v'Vv* '*"• 'Singular WiH.- ' . / That to that ToroDto tnOtKer" who In the ten years after Millar's death bore the most children should go onethird of his $1,500,000. At the time of this writing, the relative standing of the principal derbylsts was as follows: Mrs. Matthew Kenny, thirty-one. Mother of thirteen children born In the past eleven years, including three sets of twins; ten children claimed born since 1026. Has been assured by medical authorities that she will again bear twins. Mrs. Grace Bagnato, forty-one. Mother of twenty-two children, eight horn since 1926. Claiming that only seven of Mrs. Kenny's babies were registered at the Parliament buildings, Mrs. Bagnato proudly announces that she, too, Is preparing to welcome a new stranger. Technicalities Raised. Mrs. Stefano Darrigo. Mother of sixteen children, ten born since 1926 ; seven registered Officially. Hearing that Mrs. Bagnato had counted in one premature infant Mrs. Darrigo asked the vital statistics department to let her register three additional children. By so doing, she opened up a veritable mine of intricate technicalities which cannot be decided till the final disbursement of Millar's gold. If Mrs. Kenny can establish her claim to register two' babies who, she says, were born in 1930 and 1931 and not registered, and can prove that Frances Lillian Kenny, born In 1928, was "really twins," her score will total ten, exclusive of the two shortly expected. And if Mrs. Darrigo Is permitted to register seven-months children she also will step up her tally to ten. Thli would prove a sore blow to Mrs. Bagnato. Mrs. Florence Brown, forty-six. Mother of twenty-seven, seven born sinfce 1926. "How do Mrs. Bagnato and Mrs. Kenny know I won't have twins In the next two years?" Mrs. Brown inquires with polite and unanswerable truculence. Mrs. A Harrison, no age given. Mother of thirteen, all living and qualifying for Millar's money. The Harrison family Is prone to twins, a propensity calculated to Inspire Mrs. Harrison with hope. Paul G. Armstrong, Department Commander of The American Legion has asked Bernard Bauer, Commandei of McHenry Post, to assist in distributing applications to eligible veterans if and when the balance of the Adjusted Service Certificates becomes payable. Thi9 is another instance of the efforts of The Amercfan Legion to be assistt ce to World War veterans even though they may not be members of the Post. It is anticipated that iriore than $141,000,000 will be payable to tetrp* erans scattered throughout'the Stat4.~-..v. of Illinois by the passage of this legis»_ lation.

Cbanjlt the, y ' -v WANT ADS Far. years the plague of the gasoline and motor car business has been gum and carbon which has formed during combustion. In a new advertising campaign, Skelly Oil, Company announces the discovery of a special solvent which greatly redudcis the deposit of gum and therefore gives carbon no easy resting place. "Gum is the binder for carbon," says W. G. Skelly, president of Skelley Oil Company. "Gum acts as a glue. For years we have been whipping this difficulty to an 4Ktent by making what we believed was the lowest gum content gasoline in the business. No ordinary gum for depositing. . Skelly research engineers tried another method and were' successful. They found that this special solvent which we call K-27 forces the gum and the carbon to pass harmlessly out the exhaust." ;1' *• Makes N«ew Car Feel Last The new • product called "Tailor- Made Aromax plus K-27" is advertised in a strong newspaper campaign which is appearing throughout the middle west. The special point In the advertising is that mechanics agree that the "new car feel" vanishes when carbon appears. Now, with Solvent K-27 to keep the engine clean, the "new car feel" will last a lot longer. Also, valve-grinding johs can be almost forgotten. Whenever the car lacks power, mechanics say that most motorists blame the carburetor.'The real trouble-maker, nine-tenths of the time these mechanics say, is carbon which has been caught by gum and baked iuto a hard flinty mass through the heat ef the motor. Helps Starting, Also The new solvent also helps free the engine from starting drag, according to the advertisements. Skelly Aromax continues to be Tailor-Made for each locality, "fhis Skelly innovation of two years ago, strongly publicized in newspaper advertising since then, has won for Skelly steady sales increases. Month after month, according to Mr. Skelly, new sales records have been establish- «d.

Be has been reunited with his aged mother after telling a story which reads like a page from fiction. Joyful relatives of the long-missing man announced that his identification was complete and that "John Phillips" from now on will be Marlon de Luz, his name 25 years ago when he was snatched from his cradle by a man whose affections were repulsed, by Mrs. de Luz. Eight years ago, in Paris, a Mrs. Annie t'hlllips, thought by the youth to be his rightful mother, was on her death bed. She told Phillips he was not her son, but the scion of the Hawaiian family. Phillips started working his way toward Honolulu. From an isolated section of Hilo, the d.e Luz family gathered to meet the man who claimed to be their Jdn! Relatives and friends of the family Immediately noticed Phillips' resemblance to Mra de Luz and his twin brother, Manuel^=^"==^^^--:^-- Hawk and Squirrel in Death Fight in Mid-Air Berlin.--A duel lo the death In mid air between a hawk and a squirrel Is reported by an amateur naturalist in Schweinitz.
