THE CHASE BEGINS
VOME on, Frank. Iet' go!"
On iho way down the stairs,
Grahame said. "I feel like a llfth
wheel. Spin. You've done arerylhlne.
Thanks a lot You know how I (eel
about Janice. I"
Winslow paused and turned to
ward him. The expression In his
eyes was relied. He parted bis lips
to i peak, paused, and said, "You're
as comple'e a romanticist as Paula.
Forget It. Kent's my bread and but
ter (or the next six months until
the picture Is done. I'm no altruist.
I'm Just "
The dapper Mr. Greene bounded
down the stairs behind them. A
paper fluttered In his band. He
looked at Orabame with an expres'
slon at bewildered reaped.
"Mr. Grahame," be said breath
lessly, ".yon. (oreot your contract."
"My contract?" asked Grahame,
puzzled. He saw that the crumpled
bit o( paper was the on that Myberg
lad given him. Mechanically he took
it In bis bands. 1
Greene said, drawing himself
erect Importantly, "You'll be need
ing some publicity work dono. If I
may recommend my servlcos to
you "
Wlnalow's long arm reached out.
The palm of his band pressed gently.
Inexorably against Greene's peori
groy chest. Mr. Green, perforce was
pushed backward.
. "Groeue." said Winslow gently,
"you get upstairs with Paula . . . and
stay'lhorel" He gave an abrupt
shore. Greene stumbled backward,
up three or tour stairs.
Tbey passed out of (he house and
stepped Into Wlnslow's blue road
ster at the curb. The wheels spun:
they lurched forward. They roared
down to Santa Monica Boulerard,
thence Into Wilshlro. Swinging right
Into San Vlccnto. they flashed by
the HsIHs of the Pico crossing. As
they ilg zagged into Crenshaw and
headed south. Grahame noticed that
he still held Myberg's scrap of pa
per. He tore It across and held the
pieces v the halt-opened window.
The wind snatched them.
Ho muttered, "What a hell of a
time to think of business."
Winslow, Intent over the wheel,
chuckled dryly, -'
"That's a crack at me, I guess.
Walt'll you're lived In this town as
long as I have. That's a lot of money
you're throwing away."
Grahame made an Inarticulate
noise. "You're hard-boiled, Spin."
"Am IT Yes. 1 guess so." for a
minute be drove In silence, where
upon he said. In a curious tone,
"You're no flttb-wheel, Frank. I'm
glad you're along. Myberg sensed
it. You get things done. I "
. Grahame said a little bitterly. "So
do you. Spin, when your Job'a at
stake."
"When my Job's Yes, 1 guess
you're right"
THE blue roadster slid to a stop
before a smail building. Behind
It a hangar bulked whltcly against
the dark sky.
Winslow called to an attendant
"Jeff horer
"Went home at Ave. Anything I
can." The roar of a motor from
somo hidden test block drowned
the last of his words.
"Yeah," said Winslow. Ho heaved
himself out from behind the wheel.
"Anybody shove out of hero in the
last hour or two?"
"Ohhuh. Closed Job. Micky took

"Micky whor
"McGulre. Army kid."
"Don't know him. Who'd he take?"
"Whooneo party to Callente. Two
men and a woman. Tho girl was al

Grahame parted his lips: Winslow
squeezed his arm. cautioning him.
Winslow snapped a light to a cig
arette. "Jeff own anything taster?"
"Not conditioned , , . there's a

enced a flash of envy for Winslow

and Winslow arched In a steep, bank

Reflectively he stared at the town
lights that swung behind them on
tho left He reconstructed the events
that had culminated with Winslow
and him in a plane headed tor the
Mexican border. Me calculated the
chances tor and against their find
lug Janice Kent at the end of their
Journey. He discovered that his mind
could not definitely arrange and
clarify the facts that he knew. They
did not make exact sense.
An automobile accident had been
arranged, he was convinced, by the
man Ortega. The fact that be had
arrived at the scene of this accident
almost simultaneously with lis oc
currence doubtlessly had prevented
urtcga from bringing bis plan to
completion.
BUT what was that plan? Janice
Kont's subsequent disappearance
from her home threw no light eta the
matter. Her maid, Paula, had told
them that It was because Ortega
loved, her mlitrcas, conniving the t
pres?n situation wun a romantic
objective. Miss Kent, Bho had said,
had promised to marry Ortega, her
contract would be broken it she
married, therefore Ortega bad ac
complished an abduction.
Frank was assured that the maid
believed this, but be was equally
suro1 that Ortega although be did
not ' know the man would hare
taken no such bold steps to accom
pllsh his end. it was possible, of
course, but rathor Incredible.
In the first place. Ortega was re
putedly wealthy. Would he. then,
take such elaborate, and melodra
matic measures to engineer an
elopemont which when consum
mated would relieve Janice Kent
permanently of the nocesslty ot
making her own living? Whj (hen.
ihould there be any pretense of m.ik
Ing It appear that Janice broke her
contract with the Consolidated noi
of her own free will? Considering
his own regard for her. this method
of reasoning gave Frank a glow o;
satisfaction.
It brought him moreover, with
equal logic, to the conclusion thai
she had been taken against ber will.
Hut for what purpose? There could
be but three reasons why a girl
would be abducted who was beauti
ful, rich, and a public personage. A
man might love her Insanely; be
greedy (or a ransom, or ho could
hate her savagely. The last motive
seemed remote, and tbo second II
logical: tho first as be bad proved
to himself was Impractical. These
were not medieval days, when ab
duetlons were fashionable.
Frank muttered Impatiently, li

that brought him nowhere. There

F, R.JS POLICIES
OF RECOVERY TO
GET BALLOT TEST
By Byron Irlc
Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington
Amid the encircling uncertainties
of tho now year, there Is one se
rious certainty for the , politicians:
1034 la another campaign year.
Come what may, every member of
the house must face hia constituents
nnd open his record for Inspection
If he wants to remain a member.
One-third of the senators, too. come
vp for reelection, and the Roosevelt
administration, itself, will learn at
the polls In November whether It Is
to escape that off-year overturn of
tho leglaltitlve balance which hfaa
overtaken so many of Its predeces
sors. Roosevelt The Issue
Mr. Roosevelt and his policies of
recovery, by common consent, are be
coming the issue, insofar aa there Is
any national issue. The Republican
organization is, after some hesita
tion, against Mr. Roosevelt and his
policies; but that la not saying that
Individual Democrats and Republi
cans will be for those policies or
against them.
It la not at all Impossible that
the real division, down In the con
gressional districts, will be a "pro-
Roosevelt" and ah "anti-Roosevelt"
division rather than anything like
a straight contest between Demo
crats and Republicans.
Unlike Oilier Years
It would be hard to recall any
other mJtf -ad ministration campaign
year which began with the actual
physical setup of the opposing or
ganizations in such a state of un
certainty.
For the Democrats, extremely im
portant organizational decisions are
ahead. What effort la to be made to
Include in tho administration cam
paign staff those western Republican
iiio'uivfuu who bolted to Roosevelt
in 1933? What Is to be done, from
an organization viewpoint, in states
where Roosevelt Republicans-are run
ning for reelection to congress? No
attempt has been made yet to an
swer these questions.
The Republicans thus far do not
know either what their organization
will be, or who will do the organiz
ing. An internal dispute of propor
tions Is in progress over tho national
chairmanship.
Does The Past Hold True?
In this situation it Is doubtful how
much reliance can be placed on the
universally accepted laws which In
the past have governed political
trends.
One of these law Is that in the
off-year, between presidential elec
tions, there la a normal shift of
greater or less degree away from the
party in power, toward the party out
of power. I
Another long established tradition
says that if this shift is great enough
the return a congressional majority
hostile to the administration, that
administration Is likely; to be defeat- ,
cd wo years later In the presiden
tial campaign.
Normally, too, on the basis of past
performance, the Roosevelt party may
be expected to advertise Itself as the
progressive" or 'liberar' party, and 1
tho anti-Roosevelt organization may )
be expected to claim the title of :
"conservative." I
The normal tendency of the Roose- j
teit iiitumgrrs, no vsuiuiisnea in ine
preconventlon campaign of 1932 and
adhered to since. Is toward political
union of west and south, against the
east. 4
So far. so good. It would be a bold
prognocticator who, at this stage,
would go further than to recall these
"normalities" for what they may be
worth. .

ONLY ONE LOCK
TO BE NECESSARY
AT BONNEVILLE
PORTLAND. Ore. W A aavlng of t
about 1,000.000 In construction of'
the Bonneville power and navigation
dam on the Columbia river has been
mado possible by discovery of an. ex
panstve rock formation at the site
of the navigation locks, engineers '
at the dam have revealed. j
This rock formation. It was said '
by army engineers and by C. I. ,
Grlram chief civilian engineer, will
make possible a notable engineering
feat never before undertaken In the
United. States. j
It has been found possible, UieJ
engineers said, to build only one nnv- j
Igatlon locB Instead of two originally '
planned. Estimates on the original
plans Indicated a cost of $3,500,000,
but tho change will reduce this to
about e 1,500.000.
The presence of the large and deep
rock foundation will facilitate con
struct ion of the lock which will have
a lift of 62 feet, an unusual height
for one of its length and breadth. It
will be the highest ever constructed
by the army engineers. To make
such a lift possible, the lower gates
will be 89 feet high, the equivalent
of an average nine-story building.
As recently approved by the chief of
engineers at Washington." D. C. tho
lock will be 76 feet wide and will
have aa inside clearance length of
360 feet.

PERSONAL
-to a lady
THIS evening when your husband comes home, what
would he think if you greeted him in the wedding
dress you wore a good many years ago? One thing
sure he'd silently wonder how you could have seem
ed so lovely then in an outfit that looks so oldfash
ioned now.
We wonder if your husband realizes there has been
as much change in furnture as in. wedding dresses?
(Remember what you told him the other day, "Most of
the furniture in this house was bought right after we
were married.")
There is no better time than now to greet him in
that wedding dress and then show him the furni
ture advertisements, in the newspaper! Today you
can read about and see pre-vieys of the furniture
shows that will be held next month,, so. close at hand.
And it will probably surprise you to learn he is as in
terested as you are. Men don't like to go through the
stores to shop. But it's quite easy to get them to read
over the advertisements in the quiet of your home.
Wouldn't today be a good time to get him to say
"yes" about that new furniture you've been wanting?
"all that can be said with reasonable
certainty Is that she wlU wait untU
world affairs are In such a state
that the success of her efforts seem
reasonably assured. A general war
In Europe, for example, would offer
her an unsurpassed opportunity to
extend ber sway In the western Pa
cific by seizing some of the Dutch
and British colonies. . .
"There Is a feeling In Italy and
Germany that they are entitled to
a larger share of the world's re
sources. . . . Certainly Oermony and
Japan have showu thaq they are
willing to take a chance at the en
hancement of their economic, welfare
Issuing from war and there Is no
reason to believe that other strong
peoples wlll not feel the, same way."
