SIRES a ied Ee a a Sear ™ 3 4 a i * Don't Leave Child Alone At Home Especlally When He's: Small ~--Locking Youngster In a Room Is Worst Offense \ Little children should never be feft ifn the house, writes Angelo Patr], child specialist, Never, Moth. ers who have to go out on errands can not leave little children alone in the house while they are absent, Most of all they must not lock chile dren in a room, No matter what the emergency this should never be done. Ono em. ergency is not likely to be cured by another. One never knows what is going to happen in the shortest of absences, It takes but a second to strike a match, turn on a gas burner, fall down the stabrs, and the mischief is done. Some people wait until the chil dren are asleep and then slip out of the house, leaving them alone, That's dangerous. Little ones have a way of wakening in the night and calling out, If there is no reassures ing voice to reply panic seizes them, and they become hysterical with fright. Such happenings leave their marks on children's minds. They breed distrust of the parents. GET SOMEBODY TO STAY Parents must sometimes leave the house and the children. Some- body must bo in charge when that happens. If there is no Granny will ing to stard by, no aunt nor uncle nor Grandpa, maybe there is a kind- ly neighbor who can be trusted. Or a high schoo! student who can be trusted. 'There is usually a way.

LARRY... COLLINS--newspaper reporter, hunting the murderers of his brother, MIKE BENTLEY -- wealthy rancher, knew too 'much about auto accidents. * vo LAST WEEK: Monnie sees Larry, denounces him as a thief. Then she tells Bentley that Larry's brother was killed on the curve, that he has been investi gating the accident, spying on her. Larry tries to tell her that Bent. ley is smuggling narcotics. She refuses to believe him,.Later she promises to marry Bentley if he will turn Larry over to the sheriff. Bentley agrees; but makes his own plans. CHAPTER XIV Worrying about what Bentley was planning to do with him didn't keep Larry from enjoying the din. ner his guards brought. .He was man ate a hearty dinner and all that, Glad you liked it, though. It's your last meal." Lary rolled a Bentley speculatively. nico guy, Mike. I'll bet you used to drown Kittens, stick pins In bugs, and that sort of thing when you were a kid. You enjoy seeing poople squirm so much. Do your worst, Bentley. I'm not squirming for you." "1 Kitted- Him!" "You will before we get through with you." The man's innate cruel ty reflected itself in his face. "You came hero asking for trouble, just liko your brother. We caught him snooping. We caught you. It's not healthy to know too much about Mike Bentley. You're finding that out. Your brother discovered the same thing." "You admit you killed him?" "Sure, I did. And [I did a swell job of it. Unidentified drunk killed on curve. Everybody forgot about him as soon as the inquest was over. No one will bother much about a dead cattle thlef either." "There are a few who might be interested," Larry suggested. "Thoy. might even start investi. gating when I don't come back. Ever think about that?" cigaret, eyelng want to, they won't find a thing." Bentley was aggravatingly confi. dent. "Might slow things up for a bit--cancel a few deliveries, but nothing more than that. You're not so important as all that, Col- lins."" ; Well Worked Out "You must have it pretty well worked out." "I always have things 'pretty well worked out. That's why 1 never fail. Here's what's going to happen to you--at least, this fis what everyone will think happen ed to you. - "In a couple of hours, you're go- ing to knock me out, while I sit here talking to you--" "I'll enjoy that part of it," ry interrupted.

"Just like Hugh," Larry com- mented. "Aren't you afrald some- one will start thinking these ac- cidents on the curve are occurring too frequently?" "What it someone does? What can he prove? The sheriff will be the only witness. This setup is per- fect. It worked for your brother. It'll do for you." +. + Bill and two more of Bentley's men camo for Larry about 9.30. They tied his hands behind him, then hustled him upstairs and out into Bentley's car. He was pushed into the front seat beside the ranch- er. He noticed a man riding a horse down the highway, leading a second saddled horse. "He goes down into the canyon to tire the shot when you kill your- self," Bentley explained. "He'll stay cloge to the curve, but well out of your way. From the high- way it sounds like the shot comes from the burning car." Larry was silent. He watched another man put a gasoline can in Bentley's car, Bill climbed in the back, fondling a machine gun. Bentley drove out to the highway. A second car followed. "Nice car you've got here" Larry said. "Don't you mind los- ing it?" She's Set the Day Bentley - was amused. "It's in- sured. I'll need a new one any- way, when Monnie and I get mar- ried. You knew we were going to be married, didn't you? Monnie set the day, September 10, this aft- ernoon. She went on in to town to talk to her bridesmaids. 'moo bad, Collins. You should have stay- ed in New York." Larry did not answer. After this afternoon, nothing surprised him. He didn't mind Monnie believing he was a thief, she might have been angry, but to tell Bentley about Hugh. That was mere than he could stand. He had trusted her--loved her. The car stopped, but Bentley left the motor running. Larry saw the curve a hundred yards beyond. Bentley got out, called to the men in the other car. "Turn around and keep the mo- tor running. This will go off just like the other one, Joe--you get up on the hill. Flash your light when you see a car coming up, then duck back through the pas- ture. I'll have someone pick you up. . "You, Bill, steer. the car. Be sure that fuse fis fastened tight and watch out you don't blow up when you. light it, Jump off when tho car gets rolling good and go down into the canyon, Tony'll have your horse. down there, . "I'll go back to the house with Shultz and let him put a bump on my head. But I'll take care of Col- lins first." 2 Caught Off Guard He came back to Larry, cut the ropes that bound his wrists. "Move over under the wheel, Collins. You're driving from here on." Larry rubbed. his wrists to rte ' J8tore the circulation. When he fail- ed to obey Bentley's command, Bill prodded him in the back with the machine gun. "You heard him, buddy. Move over." Bentley handed his automatic to Bill. "I'll take that tommy-gun up to the other car, Shoot him fn. the head it he tries anything." He was back in a minute, "All ' right, BHI. Spill some gasoline back there; wind the fuse up over the door." He took his gun from Bil), _ got into the seat. beside Larry. "Any last words, Collins?" "You certainly have this down to a system," 2, "We practiced on your brother, "When Joe flashes his light, I'll shoot you, let oft the Urake and put the car in gear. I' jerk the hand throttle open gs I -jump out. Bill lights the fuse, steers you almost to the ourve, Then" "What about Monnfe? Ste knows why I'm here, knows 1've been try. ing to prove you're smuggling nar. cotlcs. Bhe suspects thers was soniething wrong about. the fifst accident here. She'll talk." Larry was stalling, + "No she won't. We'll take care of 'Monnle, It she starts any trou: ble we'll tip the federal men to search her car. There's $500 worth : Pokal fas Fond Important, Health Specialist Says -- Plenty of Space For Growth Necessary "Baby's first pair of shoes is one of the most important pairs in. a lifetime," said an official of the Health League of Canada in a recent address. 'The one thing that doesn't matter about them ig style." - Square-toed shoes with. straight inner 'edges are what the child needs, with plenty' of space to al- low for quick growing, said the speaker, He pointed out that the infant bones and muscles cannot stand the strain of long standing, and are likely to "flat- ten out" if the child is encour aged to stand or walk too much. In adult life, he declared, care of the feet was of the first im- portance to general comfort and health. In this' connection he deplored the tendencey of wom- en's footwear to sacrifice coms fort for style. Usually, he de- clared, women's shoes are too narrow, their soles are too thin, the toes too pointed and the heels outrageously high. i) All shoes, whether for men or women, should - be - well-fitting but not too tight, he asserted. The wearer's toes should not touch the end of the shoe, but should have freedom -of move- ment. He recommended rubber heels to absorb the shock in walking.
