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."

Logans Ripening
But Crpp Is Light
NORTH HOWELL Strawber
ry picking will be over this week
with rather unsatisfactory results
to all concerned.
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."
