With the tears streaming down her grubby face, she tugged at the motorcycle, but she hadn't the strength to haul it Upright. Then, bruised and battered, she sat down at the side of the road, at three o'clock in the morning, and wept bitterly. Headlights swooped around a curve and approached her. Iris gave never a thought to the possibility of it's being being the enemy. She scrambled to her feet, flung up her arms, and shouted. Twenty feet beyond her, the machine machine ground to a halt.

I have a dreadfully important message to phone into town -- right away!" The man started the car instantly. He grunted, not pleasantly, "Hm! Never take me long to get in with trouble! What's the matter?" "It's--it's all sorts of things!" Iris tried breathlessly to explain the entire evening in a few sentences. sentences. "It's--it's one man against a gang of crooks. He's down at a pier with one of the gang as his prisoner, and he's expecting the rest any minute! He wouldn't leave because he's sure they have something big on tonight, and he wants to get to the bottom of it." "And where do you come in on all this ?"

"All right--we'll get to a telephone as fast as we can for Ronnie!" Ronnie!" The landscape positively flew past. Iris though of Ronnie, gamely waiting at the pier. She thought of his gay, indomitable daring, his gray eyes, and of that last hurried kiss. She remembered remembered her gun suddenly and untangled untangled it from the wreck of the trench coat. She dropped it into the front of her dress. The man slowed down. "Here's a house. Let's see if we can arouse anyone here." He stopped the car. Iris looked out and saw a white cottage behind a little hedge. She sprang from the machine, and ran up the path to the porch. She couldn't see a bell, so knocked loudly. Presently, there were footsteps, and a male voice from inside called, "Yes? What is it?" "I want to 'use your telephone, please!" cried Iris. "There's a party in trouble down the road, and we need help!" There wag a grunt from beyond the door, which promptly opened to reveal a lighted hall and a tall, thin, gray-haired man in a dressing «gown. Iris stepped swiftly inside. "Thank you! Thank you ever so much! Oh, there's your telephone. Just a minute " She seized the instrument, gave the operator the number she wanted. After a moment's breathless waiting, a deep voice came over the wire, and Iris swung back to the telephone, "Mr. Castle? . Then listen, please! Ronald Manning needs help right away! At a pier at the end of the RocEaway Road." The man at the other end was comfortingly comfortingly swift in getting the idea. "Right!" he said. "Have they got him, or has he got them? And who is this?" "This is Iris Courtney, a friend. And he's got one of them. jBut he's 0 #2 alone, and of them an But Mr. heard enot the man's "Thank got under He's alone the rest he's expecting y minute! He- CastlU seemed to have gh.

"We'd batter go back to Ronnie. and, though he may he able to use this Arkwright man as a sort of hostage or something, he . . . what's the matter?" The driver had turned his head sharply and was staring at her. "Did you say Arkwright?" "Yes. Only that's not his real name," explained Iris, "He's been posing as a Canadian officer, but Ronnie Ronnie guessed----" "Ronnie's a darn fine guesser!" interrupted her companion. "I'm Jonathan E. Arkwright!" "You--you are!" Iris gasped. "I certainly am! And I suppose this Ronnie of yours is Ronald Manning?" Yes. Bub where have you been?"

They seem to want everybody out of the way tonight." She went on to tell Arkwright the rest of the story. "They picked her up again with Barry Vernon, in whose charge Ronnie Ronnie had put her. But why they wanted wanted her, he didn't know." "They'll explain!" promised the man beside her, as he bent grimly over the wheel. "Where's this road down to the pier?" And Iris didn't know! (To Be Continued) Why Do Teeth Decay? Why teeth decay is still an unsolved unsolved problem to dentists. The search is being constantly carried to find some factor that may be held responsible responsible but without any definite success. The most recent test is that made at Harvard Dental School where Dr. Paul K. Lorsch, instructor in operative dentistry, and Dr. Fred W. Morse, assistant professor of oral medicine, made a detailed study of 110 cases of children who came under under their observation for caries or tooth decay. These investigators found statistical evidence that boys suffer more than girls from tooth decay. Examination of ninety-eight cases showed that fifty-one girls, with an average age of 7.8 years, had an average of 8.1 cavities an ; individual, while forty-seven boys,. with an average of 6.0 years, had an average of 13.7 cavities an individual. individual. Twenty cases including the five best and five worst among boys and girls showed that the high caries, among boys average 32.2 and among , girls 16.8, and in the low caries • group the boys averaged 2.6 while : the girls had no cavities, Heredity, > diet and a large number of other * factors were studied without finding ; any positive correlation with tooth , decay. The only item that seemed to . have any connection, as causes, ; were childhood diseases involving, prolonged fever, the presence of. eciduric bacilli in the mouth, and to 1 a slighter extent rickets in early, childhood.
