ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG. OREGON, SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1930. .-, FIVE r 'WHERE'S EMILY?' V V by Carolun Wells JL CHAPTER XXXIV. , "How do you know be had black hair?" demanded Pete, "didn't he have his hat on?" "He told me so," said Larry, his mouth hill of cake. "Told you he had black hair?" "Naw, I don't mean that, I mean he told me to bring the note here." "Your supper has -gone to your head," said Pete, laughing at the way the child was still wolfing sweets after an Incredible quantity of more substantial viands. So Larry wag let go, and he fairly flew down the path and along the road toward the railroad station. "What about it?" asked Betty, as no one seemed Inclined to take up the subject. ' " I "Well," said Pete, "If you ask me, or, even If you don't ask me, 1 think it's a fake, the whole thing." "Why?" "Oh, I don't know, but it's fishy, that IMA coming over from Haver straw, and all that." "I'm not sure I agree with your views, Pete," Rodney said, "but we don't have to decide this thing. Fleming Stone Is coming In a tew hours and we can put the mattor In his hand for advice." "I shaft do no BUch thing," Aunt 1 'Judy astounded them by 'remark ing. "You seem to forget the let ter is addressed to me. You seem to forget that I am forbidden to tell the police about It, or to try any gullery I think that was the word but I am to be at the Miller house at midnight with the money if 1 want Emily back. I do want Emily back, and I shall be there with the money exactly in accord ance with the stipulations. If no body Interferes no harm will come to me, and it may mean the res toration of my girl. At any rate, it is a chance 1 shall not miss." "But, Aunt Judy " "Dou't 'But Aunt Judy' me. Rod. It wn't do one speck of good. I shall follow directions implicitly. I am not afraid, I'm only afraid not to do it. Of course it isn't a fake. Where would be the sense of sending a boy over from Haver straw to hoax us? And who would hoax us, anyway, and why? I mean, none of our acquaintances would do it. and none of the work ing people in Hilldale have any spite or grudge against us. tI can't see any reason or. motive for a hoax. The child was kidnaped lor money. I've fait sure of that all along. Now we have evidence of It, and' we are told how to get her back. I've seen or heard of these cases before, and invariably the restoration' is balked because the principals are unwilling to give up the money without apprehending the villains. You all know that. The police are dragged in, and they think they can cleverly hood wink the abductors and get back the victim and save the money, too. They can't." ' " "Good gracious. Aunt Judy, you seem to know what you're talking about," exclaimed Pete, who had the highest admiration for the intrepid old. lady. "I always "know what I'm talking about, but not everybody believes It. as you do," and Aunt Judy gave him one of her sweetest smiles. She was an irresistibly pretty woman, not as old as her white hair made her seem, and her com- plexion, even when unaided by var ious beautlflers, was as soft and te.it as a girl's. "Well, I wash my hands of It," Rodney said, decidedly. "I'm for having that note turned over to Flemings Stone as soon as he ar rives. But it is, after all. Aunt Judy's- property, and we cannot presume to advise her. But think it over well, dear, before you go out there tonight without Stones knowledge. Why don't you just reserve decision until he gets here, and then see how you are im pressed by his manner and atti tude, and conclude then what you will do?" "Now, that's downright bright of you. Rod." and Aunt Judy nod ded her curls in entire agreement with his suggestion. "I'll do that very thing. And, children," she added, "I think we won't have sup per itlll Mr. Stone gets here, late though it may be. It'll give him a nice send-off to have supper first thing." Sunday-night supper was a high ly honored institution of Hlllclaie. To be Invited to It was a sign of ' intimacy or honor, or both. And the suppers at Knollwood were renowned , not only because of their superior food and drink, but because liore one might meet celebrities or even more interest ing people unavailable in other houses. Guests rarely dropped In for Sunday night supper. It was an unwritten law that an invitation was more or less necessary though, of course, many had stand ing invitations. Abel Collins was among these, and he came over soon after du.sk. He was always a welcome guest everywhere, and was often chided that he favored Knollwood above other houses, usually followed up by a jestint reference to the at tractions of the charming Mrs. Bell. Of course no word was said to Abel of the letter so strangely re ceived, for that was Aunt Judy's property and she had the matter In charge. But though Aunt Judy was of no mind to discuss the letter with the young people, who. however dear they were, seemed to her a lot of children, she did want the ad vice of an older head, and as Ab"l came early, she concluded to lay it before him. So she carried him olf to her little sitting room and closed Uie door unon them. "Well. Juliana." Collins said. "Lord knows I'm sorry for you. and my heart Is full of sympalliv. but I'm free to confess It ain't niU3sed you up a mite. You look younger and more bloomin' than ever." . "Don't be silly," said Aunt Judy with fine scorn. "Now, you listen to this, Abel, and put your whole mind on it, for I consider it most important." She carefully spread out the let ter before him, and adjusting his leading glasses, Abel Collins pe rused it thoughtfully three times from start to finish. "It's a fake," he pronounced, as he refolded the paper, and put his glasses back in their case. "Don't you be taken in by It, Judy." "What do you mean, a fake? Won't there be anybody there to night to meet me?" "For the land's sake! You don't mean you're going out there at midnight?" "Of course I am. Think a mln ute. This is the only, the one single hint or chance we've had of finding Emily. Do you think I'll pass it up? No indeed!" "But, Judy, listen. This Isn't a real letter. Rear' kidnapers don't write like that " "Don't talk nonsense, Abel Col lins. Anybody'd think you knew something about it. Pray how do real kidnapers write? Is there a school a - college for kidnapers? Or is it a correspondence course, a'.id you have taken It?" "Now, now, Judy, don't lose your temper or get sarcastic. It won'l do a mite of good. I tell you that letter is -a fake, because it shows on the surface. Whoever wrote that means either to hoax you ut terly, aid if you keep that appoint ment you'll find nobody there, or else, and perhaps this Is more like ly, there will be somebody there who will blandly accept the monev you bring and bid you good-evening. But it will bring Emily not one step nearer to you." "Why do you think that?" Judy Bell was always willing to listen to the Ideas of people in whose judgment she felt confi dence. "I'm not sure I can tell you. It's just a feeling, a sort of hunch. 1 guess that the thing is Insincere, is a fraud of one Bort or another. Are you positively going out there at midnight?" "I wan't to." The children frown on it, and Rod, of course, wants me to lay it before Mr. Stone. But I'm afraid he won't let me go." " "He can't stop you, if you insist. Go, if you like. I'm sure no per sonal harm will come to- you, nor any good. It will certainly not mean the return of Emily. If you want my advice, which of course you don't, I say, ask Mr. Stone what to do. . "I do want your advice, Abel, and I will put it up to Mr. Stone."' Shortly after eight o'clock Flem ing Stone arrived. His train was late, and bo the Knollwood car had wafted' at the station and Hen., nl., kln. n knA . Sayre greeted him,' and made general introductions. Stone was a magnetic man, and they all took to him. He was middle-aged, perhaps fifty or so and his strong, rather patrician features gave him a look of wis dom and authority. Abel Collins looked at him keen ly, -to learn if this was real wis dom or a sort of mask that every detective ought to wear, and his conclusion was that Mr. Stone was the goods all risht. Than which, Abel knew no higher compliment. (To Ba Continued Monday) Copyright 1980. King Fetures Syndicate, Inc. ANGELS BEAT SEALS TWICE; DUCKS LOSE TO OAKS BY 2 TO 1 With a dramatic finish Los An geles broke up a pitcher's duel yeB torday and scored a novelty in their present series by recording two straight wins, . downing San Francisco, 7 to 4. Catcher War ren slammed a home run with the bases full in the eighth, and the three-run rally of the Seals in the ninth was futile. Sacramento stayed two games ahead of the second place Angels by downing Seattle, 3 to 1, us Ed Bryan se the Indians down in rapid fire order, last night. Two Senator double plays aided in mak ing it a speedy contest. Veteran "Dutch" Keuther took another close beating. Mission hopes slid another notch as Hollywood took its third game of the series, 19 to 5, scoring elev en runs in the eighth to cinch a contest which they already prac tically won due to hitting which baffled Lienor, Dehoag and Nel son. Turner worked well on the mound tor the Stars while Iluinnil er led his team's batting with two homers. Another tight game was played off. with dispatch as Howard Crag head pitched bring-up hall to take th measure of Walter Mails, Oak land defeating Portland, 2 to 1.

There were no- reservations in the admira tion bestowed today by the British press upon Bobby Jones, victor In yesterday's British open golf tour nament finalB. Nor was there any expression of sour grapes In the golfing vineyard over his success at the expense of British players. "The greatest of all living golf ers," "the greatest golfing genius of all time." were among the en comiums showered upon the vic tor today, while one writer sug gested humorously that he be con ceded both amateur open cham pionship for life and automatical ly presented two cups yeaily. "This would restore the com petitive spirit to golf," he said. TILLIE THE TOILER WHAT AJtE.

By HUGH S. FULLEUTON Jr. Associated Press Sports - Writer Recent trades among clubs of the American league seems to have been a series of wise moves on the pail of the various managers Involved. Every team that acquired now material 1b giving an appearance of new life and the pennant race,, al ready too close for comfort of the leaders, bids fair to become closer. The St. Louis Drowns, whose hatting: average has been down so far it was almost out of sight, cer tainly have benefited by the ac quisition of Goose Goslin. The GooBe, who was doing prac tically nothing for Washington, cut loose with his bat, hitting three home runs since he joined the Browns, two In the past two days. Yesterday's homers aided con siderably in tlio Browns' 4-3 vic tory over the Boston lied Sox. Sain Gray did the rest by holding Bos ton to five hit3, Washington's new acquisitions didn't iget much chance to hit yes teifjay as the Senators were locked in a pitching duel with the Chicago White Sox, but Art Shires and Heine Manush already have started clouting. With Ted Lyons on the mound and Ben Tate providing capable catching at last, the Sox nosed out a 2 to 1 triumph. Yanks Lose, Mackmen Win George Wuestling, formerly of Portland, Ore., and Detroit, did his best to keep the New York Yan kees from losing to his former mates after he replaced Lyn Lary, who went out in the third innins with a broken thumb, but his first and second hits of the season were not enough to beat the Tiger clouting. Detroit started by scor ing live runs in the first Inning, winning the game by an 11 to 6 count. The Philadelphia Athletics took advantage of the lapses hy two of their leading rivals and made their place at the head of the American league Btanding somewhat safer by defeating a third, the Cleveland In dians, 8 to 0, increasing their mar gin of leadership over New York and Washlngon 2 games. George Earnshaw pitched a preat game to give the Indians their first shutout of the year and their sixth straight defeat. He allowed but five nils and struck out eight. Cubs Crowd Robins While the gap between first and second" places in the junior circuit was widening. Brooklyn and. Chi cargo, first and second in the na tional league, were drawing closer together. Brooklyn's Robins gave away a close encounter to the Cincinnati Reds, 2 to 1, while the Cubs were slugging out a 7 to 3 victory over the Boston Braves to place them selves only 1 games behind. Two Robin errors In succession combined with two hits gave Larry Benton of Cincinnati the decision over Dazzy Vance in a ti?ht game. Benton gave the league leaders only five hits. The Cuns again scored early as Cuyler and Knglish repeated Thurs days, home rn hitting act and Wally Berger's two four-baggers only served to- -cive him the Na tional league lead with a total of 20. Pittsburgh kept the New York Giants from gaining ground by staging a sixth inning uprising that netted six rims and an H to 4 vic tory. A. homer by Adam Corner osky started this scoring spree. )1 Now Mac's Warm Under the Collar VMHV DON'T VOO OLL OP IM "THE OFFICE ? you MOTICE MR.

Appar ently not satisfied with his ques tionable world's heavyweight box ing title, Max Sehmeling has agreed to meet Jack Sharkey iu a return bout at Yankee stadium in September undor certain provi sions. Before he steps Into the ring again against the man who gave him the championship on a foul In the fourth round, Sehmeling says he must have an outright release from Arthur Buelow, German man ager whom he disposed of over a year but whose contract does not expire until October. The German heavyweight also says "he will have no part of Gra ham McNamee as a radio announc er" on grounds the National Broad casting company's announcer was partial to Sharkey and made er rors In their June 12 bout at tne stadium. As the garden management agreed to take care of the Buelow settlement as well as finding a suitable broadcaster, there appears no reason why the heavyweight title will not be at stake once more. The proclamation of Sehmeling, coming through Joe Jacobs, his manager of choice, follows- close upon the New York state alhletic commission's advice that Sehmel ing give Sharkey another bout bo fore the end of the summer. The state commission recog nized the German aa champion at its meeting Tuesday. Sharkey has already informed the commission he is willing to meet Maxle again on almost any terms.

Conn., June 21. -With a characteristic exhibition of daaalttiK speed and unbeatable power, Yale has closed another triumphant varsity rowing cam paign on the intercollegiate seas the fifth unbeaten season for the Blue in eight years of coaching by Edward Q. Leader. Harvard, with a fine show of ability, swept to victory in the ! two preliminary races of the an nual regatta on the Thames river yesterday for freshman and junior varsity crews, only to absorb a de cisive defeat in the evening from one of the finest of Ed Leader's great collection of varsity boat loads. Kor tho third 'straight year and for the ninth time in ten years, Yale ontrowed its rival in the classic four-mile pull downstream from Barlett's cove to the railroad bridge. Yale led virtually all the way to win by five and a half lengths. It rowed the second fastest four miles in the atstory of the regatta, which dates back to isr2 and has witnessed 68 varsity races within that period, marked by only a- few Interruptions of competitive rivalry- Yale, stroked by the powerful Woodruff Tappen- at Pleasantvllle, N. Y., and captained by Ous Blag den of Greenwich, Conn., covered the fotir miles in 20 minutes, 9 2-5 seconds. This was less than eight seconds short of the course record, set by. Harvard's victorious lflttt crew. Yale at least can claim a share of national championship honors, on the strength of this record, al though it may well be disputed text Thursday by the winner of the nino-crew varsity classls at PoughkeepBto, especially If it is Washington, now tho only other crew in tho country.
