Lola Parker, xcho loves Perry, and who is In turn loved by Johnny, thinking that the dctcctive has the necessary evidence to convict her lover, reveals to him all that Perry confessed^ to her. This is all news to Johnny; and xchen he hears this he quickly gets Perry sentenced, despite Lola's pleas. , On the train to Sinff Sing, Lola mieaks a file to Perry concealed in a magazine. She then distracts Johnny's attention from his prisoner long enough to permit him to escape. Johnny, neglecting hi* other police duties, keeps up a relentless search for them In the city.

McCloud was thoughtful. * har^ly ft ware of O'Neill's presence N AT HL» »W«* . "There have "been three robberies v ,"i 4 'in this building in the last three •'£*': 'months.

Now" when we get there- " O'Neill's words were cut off as Mc» Cloud suddenly stopped and stared, fr*".""*' "What's the matter?" 'O'Neill Inquired sharply. The eager expression on Mc- Cloud's face was wiped out and he spoke disappointedly. "For a minute 1 thought that was her--goln' into that shop over there." ' ?" . .. • ' • With hardly an Instant's hesitation, McCloud wheeled and started to run In the direction of the nearest silk truck in the alley. As he reached it, he leaped up, swung into the empty driver's seat, stepped on the starter, threw in the gears, and the truck lurched forward. It gathered speed in pursuit of the taxi, and rounded' the corner of ^the street and alley almost on two wheels. There were several shots fired in the building simultaneously, and then all was silent. O'Neill staggeted out of the warehouse, holding onto his stom» ach and calling to McCloud., who had disappeared in pursuit of the taxi. Painfully, and walking with difficulty, O'Neill,started maklng"his way toward the corner of the alley and the street. He finally made the police box, managed to open it, and had just strength enough left to pick up the receiver. Weakly, and hardly audible, he said: "Detective Sergeant O'Neill catling- " -He could say no-more, for he slumped down, unconscious, to the pavement. The truck in pursuit of the taxi rushed madly 'on, scattering its, eases of silk Along the way as It ctreened down the street and finally crashed into a . religious goods store window. Lola and Georgie made a getaway and finally arrived .In Bermuda, s where they hired a bungalow. Georgie Immediately commenced to i celebrate by getting drunk. Hedrank so long and so hard that Lola decided to leave him. She. had : enough of Perry. "Take your hands , off me, Georgie. You give me the creeps." "Oh. I dot What do you think you are?" "There are quite a few short and I • * "Take your hftndt off me, Georgie. You give me the creeps." v (.Pdsed by Lillian Miles and Gavin Gordon) rO'Neill put his hands on his hips and looked at McCloud with an expression of ex&sperated impatience on his face. "Sweety sufTerin', sweatin' archangels! Have you still fot HER on your mind?" McCloud made a pathetic attempt to explain. "Don't you see, Happy? --If I get her, 1 get Perry." O'Neill was explosive in his expressiveness. "My big- brown eye! You donl want Perry--that's only a stall. You want her!" "I want tht both of them--an' Til get the both of them." O'Neill was disgusted. "Come en!" ' f "Couldn't you /work this trick tonight without wle?" O'Neill scowled, and McCloud continued, angrily, "Yuh see--I went through the kid's desk this afternoon when 1 wnt to her rooming house, and I found out she's been havin' some dental work done. I got the name of the dentist and I'd like to run over an' see him tonight. Maybe she's been over there. Maybe I " This time it was O'Neill who Mopped and, with pretended casual- Mm. he Interrupted. "Would you excuse me a moment wbile I run over to the Five and Ten Cent 8tore across the street?--" "What for?" '1 want to get you som'e paper And a pair of scissors. You might as well start cutting them paper dolls right now. All kiddln' aside-- you better put the brakes on befdj-e you crash. You're too good a cop to get led off your beat by a little lingerie." "I could -be back in a couple of hours. Is it okay with you?" . ' O'Neill was scornful, "Sure K Is. If you want to make a heel out of. yourself, go ahead. You'll be no good to me, anyway, mooning around like this." He walked on. "McCloud watched after him a moment, his face disturbed. "Walt minute " McCloud rah after the officer, came up to him, linked his arm in O'Neill's, and together they swung ato wn the street. As they came to fen &Hey. they perceived two trucks being loaded with stolen silk. Drawing closer Into the shadows, So as not to be seen, the officers crept up on the thieves. "Can you beat it? You'd "think they were workin' for the company, the . way they're loadln' them trucks," O'Neill declared. "It's a wonder they don't work in broad daylight." He turned to McCloud 'and noticed his abstract manner. .' 'McCloud suddenly realized that O'Neill had been talking. He gave a start: "Wbat'd yuh say, Happy?" O'Neill was disgusted. "For the lova Pete, will yuh come down to earth? What d'yuh think this is, a picnic ?" ~ McCloud was surly. "Sure. Let's go over and grab those mugs apd go home. I got work to do." They started for the entrance of the warehouses. McCloud'^ attention was attracted to traffic. He suddenly registered sharp surprise. A truck was rumbling along and trying to pass it was a taxicab. Its progress hindered in the narrow street by the truck. In * the taxi were Georgie and Lola. McCloud 'leaped to the corner of the street, ,while O'Neill, unaware that Mc- Cloud was not following him, en^ Stered the silk warehouse. The taxi hAd whizzed past the truck and was picking up speed. ugly words I can think of. The least of them is fool." "Well, maybe you think I'm a fool, too. I know where you're going. You've got yourself a Job at the cafe. That's where you belong-- singing In a cafe. I tried to lift you out.of it, and look at the gratitude 1 get." He got aggressive in hi$ tone. "You've been living here better than you've ever lived before. What're you squawking about?" "You lied to me. You told me you were going to he straight here-- clean--decent! And you're in w\th a bunch of rum runners--you working for them." 1 j "Sure I am. What's wrong with that? It's a respectable businessgot millions invested in it. Some of the best brains in the country ai e ii\ it." *'You lied to me." Lola mused dully. "No, I didn'tt I just didn't want you to worry. That's all I ever think about--you. And if this place is gettln' on your nerves, we'll go away " She went o?er to the window ana stared out into the street. "All your life you'll be running, away from somebody you've cheated. You've even double-crossed the crooks you work for--don't you suppose 1 know that?" Georgie came over to her. "I haven't double-crossed you, have IT If I've stolen money, you've lived on it. I wouldn't be .here now If you hadn't talked to that cop. He didn't have anything on me--you told me so yourself. You got me Into this spot, where I'm going nuts with retten sunshine and liquor. All right-- maybe I'd be better off without you. You're Just one of those fair weather babies--stick around with a man when everything's Jake, and run out on him when he's in trouble." He waved his hand. "Go ahead--I'll get along." "Sure you will." "There's a lot of .wealthy tourists come over here on every boat--millionaires-- some of them have daughters. If you think I'll pine away and go native, you're mistaken. Go ahead--beat it--I'll be glad to get .rid of you!" He left, slamming the door behind him.,Lola stood looking after him, her face a study in cold contempt. Back in New York, O'Neill 'was having a long.hard selge in the hospital; but if he Was bad off,, Mc* Cloud was, also In. for a struggle as the result of his crash. He was not dangerously hurtt however, while there was no hope for O'Neill, who died calling for McCloud and telling him it was okay "It takes years to make a cop like O'Neill--and one second to rub him out," Christie l<?oked down at the still form and shook his head. "Ah, well, it's all in a day's work." He covered the face and walked in to see McCloud. "How's Happy?" asked the officer. "He's .all right. He wanted me to give you a message--" Christie paused. "Tell Johnnie McCloud It's all right." McCloud relaxed in hl3 bed. '^Vt-11, I got a message for him. When I get out of here I'll get the guy that let him have It, if It's the last thing I" ever do. Will you tell,him that for me. Loot?" Christie became somMr. . "Yes. I'll cal! up-St. Peter and tell him."

Every week thejr spent arduous- hours bent over a washboard, scrubbingdirt loose from grimy cloting* .. . twisting out rinse water with arms that ached. But modern wash-days are different.

Another switch starts a motor-driven wringer to turning} Washing isii't a day-long ordeal any more. It's easy to have everything out blowing on the line in two short hours* , j. SPECIAL DURING MARCH We're featuring two outstanding washing machine values this mooch--the new Conlon and the new Thor. Both have firmbut- gentle agitator action, modern swinging wringers, easy-todean enamel tubs and many other features. ^ Specially priced during March at only $2.30 down and $4.20 a month--cash, only AT rutiic SIRVICI STORES AND OTMI* LOCAL OKALIRS "Behind the scenes" of this modern home laundry is an interesting picture. Actually, hundreds of men are helping with the washing. A complicated system of service is operating. Conveyors are feeding tons of crushed coal into boilers. Powerful turbines are roaring. Miles of copper wire, deep underground and high overhead, are alive with electricity. Turn a switch any time, day or night, and this electricity goes instantly to»work for you. * In the average home in nonhern Illmois it costs just a fraction over a cent to run a washing machine for an hour. And electricity speeds through other once-tedious chores just as economically--sweeps carpets for less than a penny an hour-- irons clothes for less than a nickel an hour. It toasts bread, bakes waffles, heats chilly corners, brings bright cheerful light to every room for avoiding sum. In spite of the great variety of uses to which it is put in every home, the cost of this electric service is only a snoall portion of your family budget.
