CONTRABAND By DENNIS WHEATLEY II CHAPTER XXIV A group of men ran over to each plane as its propellers ceased to twinkle and began to unload its car tro with well-drilled precision. Then, as the last plane landed, there came, the puff, puff, puff of the midnight train, and the earth quivered below the embankment until its driver brought it to a standstill. Wells touched Gregory upon the elbow and began to back away down the gully. Gregory followed, and when they were out of earshot the Inspector whispered, "We've got to get over the bank far side of the train so they can't see us by those beastly lights. Then well try to get into one of the box ears unobserved." Climbing the wire fence, .they crawled up the steep slope, crossed the tracks on hands and knees, slid down the other side, and made their way back to the place where the . t , . train was stanuing. Intense activity was now in prog ress on the far side of it. The men were hurling out the boxes from its foremost cars. Wells scaled the bank again and slung himself up to one of the rear trucks but found it padlocked. Gregory tried another ; with the same disappointing result. Dropping off, the two men conferred again in whispers. "They won't unlock the doors of the cars on this side," Gregory mut tered. "No. Got to take a' chance on being spotted and reach the boxes,' Wells replied. "Come on, let'a jret beneath the train and wait our op portunity. They crawled between the wheels, Wells leading, then a little way along, until they were below the couplings between two cars. The smugglers were hard at work un loading within a few feet of them. One . of the wooden cases which the smugglers were pitching out of the wagons caught in the rough . arass only about a third of the way down the embankment. Gerry Wells decided to take a chance. Praying ' to all his gods that if the men taw him in the semi-darkness they would take aim to be one of themselves, he slipped out from beneath the train and, drawing himself upright, x launched himself upon the stranded case. As he heaved it up to throw it down among the rest, he tried to read the big label which was tacked to its top, before it left his hands. "Hi!" a shout came out of the darkness in his rear. "What's that feller doing there?" It was the driver or the fireman who had wit nessed Wells' sudden appearance from beneath the tram. Instantly the mob of workers dropped their cases ' and turned toward him. Next moment a new voice called from the bottom of the embankment. "You there come here else 111 plug you." A torch flashed out, and Gregory, who was still concealed tinder the train, an immobile witness of the acene, saw that the order came from the Limper. Gregory's hand closed on the butt of his torch and he silently drew himself up between the two cars. Then, before Wella had time to answer, he flung the torch with all his force and unerring aim straight at the Limper s head. - "Run, man 1" Gregory shouted, as It struck the Limper full on the forehead, and he went down under the impact Wells leapt on to the tracks, but the man who had first spotted the Inspector sprang from the step of the engine cab and grabbed him round the waist. Next moment the Limper was on his feet again, yelling blasphemous instructions to his men as half a dpzen of them closed in on Gregory. He laid one of them out with a blow behind the ear and tripped an other who went plunging head-over-heels down the embankment. Wells had torn himself from the grip of thenian who had jumped off the train and turned to Gregory's assistance, but below them now the smugglers were running from all di rections, throwing themselves over the fence and scrambling up the bank. The Inspector hit out vali antly but he could not reach Greg ory who had been dragged to the ground. A second later he too.was hurled off hi a feet by the rash of a dozen brawny ruffians. He went down with a thud, one of the men kicked him in the ribs and another, kneeling on his back, pinioned his arms behind him. Bruised and half stunned from their desperate struggle , the two men were lugged to their feet andi thrust down the bank. Half a hun dred threatening figures milled round them, their scowling faces lit by the glare of the torches. Pilots, loaders, and the men off the train all left their jobs to crowd about the captives. Every man at the secret base arrived at the scene of the excitement where they jostled togetner muttering noarse ques tions. 1 A tau figure elbowed his way through the press. "Silence 1" he thundered. "Stand back, there. I'll attend to this." i It was the Limper. He stood glowering at the prisoners, a little trickle of blood oozing from his fore head where Gregory's torch had cut it- ....(,..- , ,.. . "You, you, you, you," he jabbed his finger at four husky fellows, "take these birds over to the inn- This upset's put us two minutes be hind schedule. You've got to make it up. to work! Like blazes nowl" The four men thrust Gregory and the Inspector forward. The Limper zoiiowed close behind. At the inn they were dragged in to tno nttie bar parlor and the door slammed behind them. The fat land lord was still behind his bar and the handsome knife thrower of Trou ville, now in airman's kit, leaned against it drinking a tot of brandy. Q est-c q 'U-y-a," he exclaimed, as the others tumbled into the room. "bpies. snacned the Limner. "Caught trying to board the train. customs officers I expect; well soon nnd out." The Frenchman evidently under stood English. An evil little smile twitched at his hps. With a single jerk he drew a murderous-looking knife from his sleeve. "Etpions, hein," he murmured. "Ca 'arrang irew nmpiement. As the blade flashed high above orot a bead Gregory jerked himself DacKwarus but, before the knife came down, the Limper grabbed the r renenman s arm. w.ot here, he said sharply. "Your planes are leaving. Get back to tnem and see them home,. I'll. handle this and 111 see these two- never worry us again." Co rot's handsome face went snl len, like that of a greedy child who has been robbed of an entertains ment, but he shrugged, spat on the floor at Gregory'a feet and, turning, slouched out of the inn. "Search them." snanned the limper, raisins his automatic a little, as an indication that he meant i to shoot if they tried to break away, while his tour . henchmen ran through their pockets. Pistols, night glasses, torches, let ters and money were piled upon the drink-puddled bar. When they were held firm again the Limper glanced through the papers; then stuffed them in his, jacket. : yuick march now, he ordered. Take them to my plane." The prisoners were hustled out into the night and across the grass. The smuggler's fleet was leaving; only four planes remained now upon the landing ground. The men wre busily transporting the cargo from the railway embankment to the fleet of lorries beyond the inn; the train had gone. A four-seater monoplane stood a little apart from the big de Havi lands. The Limper scrambled into it, dived down to a locker near the floor,' and pulled out some lengths of cord. "Tie them up," he said, "then push them into the back of the plane." Gregory and Wells were securely tied hand and foot and bundled in behind. .One of the men got into the plane with them and the Limper went off to supervise the departure of the convoy. At short intervals the other planes roared away into the air. The landing ground was now in darkness and the trucks be gan to rumble down the road; the smugglers had disappeared when the Limper returned and climbed into the pilot's seat. He slammed the door, pressed home the self-starter. The plane raft forward, bumped a little and lifted, then with a steady hum it sailed away lightless into the night. Gregory was hunched on his aide in & back seat but his face was turned toward one of the windows and he could see a section of the sky. After they had been flying for a few moments he managed to pick up one of the major constellations and knew, from its position, that they were flying in a northwesterly direc ton, toward Quex Park. His agile mind began to conjure frantically with the possibilities of drawing Mrs. Bird's attention to their wretched plight, so that she could secure help. The situation began to assume the grimmest of aspects in his mind. From the moment when he had gone down under the rush of men, every second had been occupied until now, so he had not had a chance to realize the full danger in which they stood. No one except Wells and himself knew of the secret landing ground at Romney Blarshes, or what their intentions had been when they left Quex Park, so no one would worry about them if they failed to turn up until a day or two, at least, had elapsed without news of them. The plane banked steeply and be gan to descend. Beads of perspira tion, broke out on Gregory'a fore head. They scarcely felt the bump as the Limper landed the plane and it flashed through Gregory'a mind that the fellow was a first class pilot. The engine ceased to hum and for a moment there was dead silence, then the Limper opened the door of the cockpit and wriggled out The beam of a torch showed from nearby where he had descended and a new voice came out of the darkness. "He's on his way over." "Good," replied the Limper. "I've got them both here. Get 'em out and bring 'em inside." - (To Be Continued) Cosyrichl HIT. a Klat Vaatan tyadleate, kaa Salem Market Quotations : rBuiTi (Baying Price) (The prices below (applied by local grocer are Indicative ef the daily market prices paid to growers by Salem buyera bat are not guaranteed by The States man. , Apples Extra fey.

Loganberries are nearly ripe and picking will begin Wednesday in the Coomler acreage. The crop will be much lighter than usual and the fruit not so well formed on account of dry weather lately1. All spring grain needs rain very badly but the hay is very, good. Hop Growers Starting Dusting, Brush Creek BRUSH CREEK Dusting for blight Is under way in local hop yards. Hop .vines are looking thrifty but growers report that a blight is affecting them. Train ing of hops has been completed for the summer. Reduced Interest Rate Is Extended Temporary Rate of 3 per Cent to Continue . Till July, 1940 Reduced interest rates on fed eral land bank and commissioner loans have been extended by fed eral legislation for a period; of two years, according to word re ceived from the Fedreal Land bank of Spokane by W. S. Bart lett, secretary-treasurer of the Salem group of national , farm Joan associations. ' On federal land bank loans through active national farm loan associations the temporarily re duced rate of ' 3 : per' cent per annum will be continued for all interest installments payable prior to July 1. 1940. On loans obtained directly from the land bank the rate will be 4 per cent. "The temporarily reduced rate of 4 per cent on land bank com missioner loans is also continued until July 1, 1940," Mr.. Bartlett said. Contract Rate Unchanged "The temporary Interest reduc tion does not change the contract interest' rate, : that Is, the rate written in the mortgage at the time a lean was made. At present the contract rates on new land bank loans are 4 per cent for loans through unimpaired associa tions, and 4 per cent .for direct loans. The contract rate on all commissioner loans made through the land bank is 5 per cent. Under the law, as now amended, both land bank and commissioner bor rowers will resume interest pay ments at their-respective contract rates on July 1, 1940." "Farmers who now obtain new loans through an active associa tion at the 4 per cent tbntract rate." Mr. Bartlett continued, "will get the benefit of the 3 per cent, rate for all interest in stallments payable prior to July 1, 1940."
