Olga tells police the stub might have come into posses- sion of a man who "picked her up" two might before the murder. Jimmy receives my- sterious 'warnings to leave Chi- cago and later is attacked by two men, but escapes. With Jinumy and Mary es- tranged, Church gets Mary's promise to marry him. Jimmy and Olga, out one night, see a man they both recognize--she lie as one of his assailants. The man escapes, but they identify him by his police photo as Ike Jensen. Church, motoring with Mary, runs over a dog. His heartless- ness causes her to break their * engagement. Mary writes Jim- my a. letter, telling him about it. The office boy sticks it in his pocket and forgets it. Jimmy gets a phone call from Olga, saying she has found Jen- sen. He rushes to her apartment to find her gone. Her disappear- ance becomes a newspaper sen sation. O'Day then tells Jimmy "that he found a picture of Henry Rand in Olga's apartment, Barry Colvin tells Jimmy that Mary Lowell has broken with Sam Church. They are walking algng the street. They see Mary Lowell approaching. Just as Jimmy is raising his hat he spies a familiar figure running for a street . He wheels suddenly and runs a mad man. « Chapter L. There was & heavy thumping noise on the stairs as Jensen's huge body struck. Then several lesser bumps as he rolled down the remain- ing steps and, finally, utter still- ness. For the life of him, Jimmy could- n't move. He was paralyzed with the fear that Jensen might get up and oh to enter that room where Olga sat and Divis lay, instead of coming back. He might even take time to find the revolver Jimmy had kicked downstairs. | Still, knowing this, he was unable | to stir. He was leaning heavily i against the wall, just where that last flesperate push against Jensen had Toft 'him, and he was sucking the 'breath into his lungs in great, gasp- ing sobs. Jensen bad crushed it out of him ~had almost crushed the very life 1 out of him with those gorilla-like arms of his.

With | Yeast and Iron This new com- bination of yeast vitamines with vegetable irom, renews the ac- tion of sluggish blood cells, drives out dangerous bedy poisons, in- creases energy and endurance and supplies the system with the vitamines that build up weight. For years yeast has been known as a rich vita mine food, but not! until we perfected = "ironized yeast"'--which comes in concentrated tablet form, was it possible to take yeast and iron in the right propor- tions to Build up weight. Vegetable "Iron" whem combined with yeast is quite easy to digest, therefore better for the system. And "yeast" when ironized, becomes just twice as beneficial as ordinary fresh or cake yeast. Ironized Yeast tablets are compos- ed of concentrated food elements, therefore, they are pleasant to take and free from drug-like effects. you are under weight, do not enjoy good health, lacking in energy and force, "ironized yeast" tablets will pick you right up, and if they fall, you get your money back.

She was trembling violently now, the "pistol shaking loosely im her grasp. She turned her head toward the door, as if that would somehow bring the sound nearer, And she know somchow she didn't want to hear what was about to happen. . . With a sudden start she turned back to the unconscious Divis. Sup- pose he had moved. Suppose he had come to and seen her with her head turned---and leaped .at her. . Desperately, she tighteded her fin- gérs on the pistol. Divis lay in death-like stillness, and blood slow- ly trickled from a gash behind his ear. She sickened. Voices again. . .A deep rum- bling voice that was Jemsen's. And then--thank God!--a low, steady voice that told her Jimmy was at least alive. , But what could they be doing? Her imagination conjured up a thousand fates for Jimmy---Iin that room with the torturing, bone-break- ing Jensen. There flashed through her mind tbat Jensen might be sav- ing Jimmy for some refined cruelty he might work at his leisure----play- ing with him, as a cat plays with a helpless mouse. : She listened and waited for what seemed ages--and the silence was broken only by the guttural voice of Jenssz, and his laugh--that tones less, heartless laugh. And again her nerves were st ing at her. Shé was tired to ithe point of utter exhaustion, and in her head---behind her eyes--was a pain such as she had never before experienced in her life, Divis, she notéd dully, was still lifeless, and beneath his head a little puddle of thickening blood had formed. . . . The voices upstairs suddenly had grown louder. She heard a door open violently, felt the house tremble beneath a rush of feet and shake as something hit against the wall Then Jensen's taunting voice, sound- ing nearer, and the sound of deep, quick-drawn breaths. A sharp exclamation, and then the cracking, splintering sound of breaking wood. A loud, prolonged crash and then a heavy thump on the &tairs, and something rolling down. Her senses reeled. "Jim!" She tried to scream, but her voice was and she rolled out of the chair and onto the floor, her fingers still loose around the handle of the pistol. het head on her arm; she would| bed with If THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG was playing a trick on him. . . A shadow fell on the wall beside him, and a8 man's voice said, thick- ly, "Damn you, Ike, why'd you hit me?" : And then he turned and saw Kid Pivis' wavering figure silhouetted against tha light from the open door, a pistol trembling in his falter. ing hand. "Dliga!"" Jimmy cried--he quite forgotten about her--and Divis' head reared sharply at the sound of his voice. The pistol slow- i ly raised. Divis took an uncertain step, still fumbling for support With his free hand. "Who--" he began and then stood frozen, bathed in a sudden, glaring light. The front door had swung open, quickly and soundlessly. Then there were voices, Jimmy heard a sharp command, and Divi, sliding down the wall, let the pistol clatter to the floor. . . Barry Colvin's 'voice said, "Jim!" and a uniformed figure was bending over Divis with a flashlight. } "God, Jim, I'm glad we found you. What happened?" He glanced appre- hensively at Jimmy's disarrayed clothing, his torn collar and tie. Jimmy pointed. "Jensen. Tell you later," and with a bound was at the door of the room where Olga lay. He was beside her, rubbing her wrists, Barry trying to help. , . . "Cold water, Barry." "This is better, Jim." Barry pull- ed a flash from his pocket. "Is this Olga Maynard, Jim?" "Yes. God « knows been through." Her eyelids slowly fluttered, then opened. She shuddered, and then the sight of Jimmy brought a faint smile. The policeman had dragged Divis into the room. '"What happened?" he asked. . M "I followed him here," said Jim- my. *Hit him over the head. He and Jeasen had this girl here-- prisoner.

"You all right now? What did they do to.you?" Divis spoke, in a whining voice. "I didn't do nothin"." "Shut up, you!" The policeman was gruff, unfriendly. "We'll make you-talk later." "Jensen," said Olga, "tried to make me go away with him. He wanted me first to write a note to you saying I had done it. . .He--he beat me because I wouldn't." Her head drooped wearily. "Divis--" Jimmy turned--"who gave you that that thousand dollars to give to Jensen?" Divis was silent. "You hear?" The policeman stir- red him with his shoe. "Don't," complained Divis. "I'm half dead now," and Jimmy was stirred to sudden regret that he had been forced to hit the man as he did. - "I think I know," said Olga, faintly, a sudden dead weight in his arms. "I heard Jensen talking . « .I think I know." ! "Who?" Jimmy caught her close- what™ she's ly. She whispered a name that Jim- my barely managed to hear, and then fainted dead away.
