"This is your last chance," is said. "Either leave town in three days or they'll be carrying you out in a pine box." He shrugged his shoulders, laughing. "Persistent cuss, whoever it is." Rising from his chair, he peeled off his coat and vest, lit a cigaret and threw him- self down on the bed to smoke and re- flect. "It couldn't very well have been this Ike Jensen or the man who was with him tonight," he said. "Unless, of course, they brought it or sent it here early inf the evening. Who was it? Who is it that's writing this stuff?" He jumped up from the bed and ex- tinguished his cigaret. "And how in the devil did the darned. thing get there? - No stamp on it or anything. It's spooky--actually spooky. I'll have to ask Mrs. King about it in the morn- ing." He turned out the light and hopped into bed. . Mrs. King was in the kitchen when he came downstairs--it was just a little past six-thirty -- and he thought. "What a hard working woman she is. Gets up with the birds and works till all hours at night, I wonder when she finds time to sleep." "Good morning, Mrs. King," he said. "I found a letter in my room last night. How did it get there--do you know? It didn't come through the mail." "Why, yes," She turned from the gas range and out of habit thrust her hands in her apron pocket. "A boy brought it shortly after you went out last evening." "A boy, eh?" This was quite unex- pected. "Did you ask him who sent it?" "Why, no. I didn't consider it any of my business, who sent you letters. All he said was that a man gave it to him to deliver. Don't you know who it was from?" Again that cager cur- josity on her part, "No, I don't, Mrs. King. I'm puz- zled about it. It's an anonymous letter from someone who seems intent on having me leave town. It's the second one I've found in my room. You re- member that evening I came home and you told me you thought you had heard me moving around in my room upstairs?" "Yes, 1 remember." "Well, I found one that night. I E YELLOW STUB GREAT NEW MYSTERY SERIAL By Ernest Lynn think you probably did hear someone up there, but it was the man who left that note. I bumped into someone coming out the gate as 1 came jn." "Why, Mr. Rand! Don't tell me that! What does it mean?" "I don't know what it means, Mrs. King. Perhaps you won't feel com- fortable if I continue to stay here. I'll move out if you are afraid." "Oh, T wouldn't think of asking you to move, Mr. Rand, It's so pleasant to have you here. You're no trodble and you're so neat and clean--not sloppy like so many roomiérs." She -sighed. "I'm not afraid] Mr. Rand. There's a policeman arou all the time now. I'm only afraid you'll run into some trouble some time while you're out." His jaw set grimly. "I'll try to take care of myself. I just don't want to be a worry and a bother to you. About this boy who brought the note. What did he look like? Had you ever seen him before around th€ neighborhood?" "No, I hadn't" "And you say he came shortly after 1 left last evening?" "It wasn't more than five minutes." "It looks as if somebody had been keeping his eye on the house and wait- ing for me to leave. He waited until 1 had gone, so I couldn't question the boy about who had given him the let- ter." "If I had suspected anything wrong, Mr. Rand, I'd have asked him myself. But goodness knows I didn't even give it a thought." Arrived at the laundry office, he found that the man named Porter had left word with the delivery clerk that a new driver would report. The clerk, in shirt sleeves and vest, a pencil stuck behind his ear, asked a few questions and issued some brief instructions. "Your main job is jo deliver these packages of laundry and collect new batches to be washed. -A smart fel- low, however, goes a little beyond his job and tries to drum up new trade. Our drivers are our best means of sell- ing this company to the people. They're the only ones who get the per- sonal contacts outside." J "Now you look like a pretty bright fellow," Jimmy smiled, and the man continued. "Mr. Porter said he thought you had taken this job because yow needed work and that you might quit as soon as you found something better, I want to tell you right now that this is no blind alley job. A man who's on his toes all the time and who gets ys new business will find advancement waiting for him. Besides, there's a tommission offered for new regular tustomers. This is a young concern and therels room here J brains. That's just a friendly tip. Now get out and see "how it goes." "Here's yoyr route," He handed Jimmy a sheaf of papers. "Know the city?" "Fairly well" "Well, I've taken the trouble to lay out. your route for you so you can cover it in the least time, Good luck." L"Thanks." Jimmy offered his hand, and the shirt-sleeved man shook it. "Looks like a pretty bright guy," re- marked the clerk to a fellow worker as Jimmy climbed into the truck. "No foolish questions, like some of the dumbells that come in here. A lot of these morons that claim to be truck drivers can't be trusted to wheel a baby carriage, much less run an automobile.' "What a world!" remarked Jimmy, and laughed. He had driven out of the delivery barn and was actually launch. ed upon his newest--and rarest--job. He wondered what his mother and Janet would think if they could see him, wondered what Barry Colvin would think--and Mary, Somehow no matter what course his thoughts took they invariably ended up with Mary Lowell. "Iwas a fool" he said aloud, "to talk to her like that. 1f I had only un- bent a little and explained what this whole thing was about, she'd have un- derstood. One little word fiom me and it would have been different." He curs- ed himself for owning a' temper that made him say things he didn't mean. The events of the night before flash- a slight bump and discoloration on his temple where he had been struck down. The recollection of Olga standing in her doorway and avking Mm if he was coming back came to and aggra- vated his mind. ; He was thréading his way Shrongh al ie i ii 5 5 1 ii 41 i i ile i i gx E perhaps two and a half years tugged at her dress; another and younger baby sat in a high chair, eating cereal. "Laundry, ma'am," he said, offering the bundle, "Three dollars and a quar- ter" { "Oh yes. Wait a minute and I'll get the money. Won't you come in?" "What's you name, little man?" he asked the boy as the woman went into angther room. 2 "Horry." "Marry? That's 4 nice name. Hazy what?" "Harry Smifi." "Well, that's just fine. You're a re- |i gular little man, aren't you?" "No, Harry big man like Daddy." Harry's mother laughed ag she hand- ed over the money to Jimmy. "Ma'ma pay the man," observed Harry. "That's right, Harry® You Ma'ma if she has any laundry she wants to send back." She laughed. "If you can wait while || 1 gather it together. I don't like to keep (HH you waiting." "Glad to wait. No trouble." While she gathered up the clothes i Harry delighted Ri¥"new visitor by re- citing "Ittle Boy Boo, tum bow you horn." Jimmy was vastly entertained |} and received a grave handshake and an invitation to come again when he told Harry goodby. The job, he thought, had started out i auspicously. If many of his calls were J as pleasant as this, it was going to be interesting. . .. Time sped swiftly. He covered his route and went back to the laundry, where he received a compliment from the shirt-sleeved clerk, and was start- ed out on another trip, Five o'clock in the afternoon found him driving back again to the plant, his day's work done. Traffic again was heavy, the homeward flow of the works ers of Chicago. He stopped at an in~ tersection. A large roadster, headed in the direction opposite to his, attracted his attention by its handsome, racy fines. ! He gave a sudden start. It was Sam uel Church at the wheel, and Church was looking at him, his lips curled in a sneering smile. Traffic started again, and Church turned to his companion. It was then thaht Jimmy saw it was Mary with him, and she was facing him directly, but looking through him --not at him. (To Be Continued.) I ------------------ RADIO FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26th.

Lived in Battersea District Nearly All Her Life, / Battersea, Feb. 22.--The many Battersea friends of the late Mrs. J. L. Sears, who died recently in Kingston, were deeply pained to learn of her sudden passing. She was born and spent all of her long life in this neighborhood, with the excep- tion of the past few months, during which time she lived in Kingston. For many years she and her husband and family resided on the farm now owned by Mr. H. Miller. After re- tiring from the farm, they 'moved to Battersea, to reside and enjoy the evening of their lives. During the greater part of her long illness, of over two years, she was faithfully and tenderly nursed by her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Ebersole, of Buffalo, N.¥., now residing in Kingston. Mrs. Sears was the last surviving member of a large and much respect ed family. She was for many years a faithful and consistent member . of thé local M.B. Church and during her health rarely missed Sunday morning service and class. She was at all times a loving wife and mother 9---Concert. 10.05--Teaberry Time.
