Detective Patterson was t the wheel for Stan had blithely admitted he was in better condition to fly, than to attempt the intricate task of driving. Millie, fitted snugly in between Stan and the detective, was clutching a bad ly depleted fourth bottle of wine. In the police car, following the coupe. Detective Hogue was silently curs ing their breakneck speed through the rain. - - With sirens wide open they crossed the Venetian Way to Miami Beach, and headed north until the lights of Deauville Casino, and the Surf Club lay behind them. "The Gulf Club's about two miles head on the right. Pat." - Detective Patterson grunted. Til cut the siren." He did so. and 'sig naled Hogue, behind them, to do the same, by turning the tail light off and on. -; "You needn't have bothered. Millie's voice sounded loud in tbe ensuing silence. "They'd have thought we were visiting Mayors and welcomed us with a shower of crooked dice. Do yon think that rat Carew told us the truth?" : Patterson laughed shortly "111 say he did. That's the first rod I've ever seen glad to go to jail. You had me going for a while, Mr. Rice and the lady here was actually crying." "Alligator tears, said -Stan, "or wine running out of her eyes. She got me quite enthusiastic about the possibilities although there are times when I recognize the power ci my own Thespian proclivities. could fairly hear the crunch of Carew's bones in the hungry rep tile's Jaws. Please, little girl!" He took the tilted bottle Sway from Mil lie, and finished it himself. "You drink too much for. a lady and you nave to be friendly with the blown np Bessingers. Ill bet he won't buy - you wine at eight dollars a bottle "Don't worry. Mr. Bessinger's a relmun ' - "A what?" Stan choked on the dregs of the bottle. "A gelmun," M illie persisted. "He looks me over with feverish eyes whenever I get in range and his . wife isn't looking. Thash itl You get the wifeI get the gelmun! "We're nearly there,", Patterson remarked. "Are you sure you're all set, Mr. Rice 7" - "Slow down a f minute." : Stan straightened up. "Improbably wouidni ao this U I was sober. Mil lie. We're taking" a long chance but I've got to find out why Carew was watching the Bessingers. Le- Roy has been through their stuff at the Pescador and found nothintr. " We've found . nothing anywhere and I dont feel like my own life is worth much until I do. The next at tempt to get me off this ease may te success! ul. Am 1 right. Fat 7 . . The detective brought the car to . stop. "I'm afraid you are, Mr. Rice. I've handled a lot of mugs like Carew. If he didn't spill everything tomgnr, ru turn in Tny shield." "I know the kind, too, Stan," Mil- He put in, her speech more steady. "He'd have squealed on his mother when you finished with that 'gator act." . . ; ' "An right," Stan banged a fist impatiently on- one knee. fHere's what we know; Carew is getting twenty-five dollars a day to report every move the Bessingers make. It's mailed to him daily from New York, in- cash to General Delivery try to trace that! He's been on the job ever-eince the Bessingers came to Uiami and mails his reports to ..the Hoxby Detective Agency, also in New York.

In New Mexico the sale of some 400,000 pounds of wool at Roswell was effected at prices equivalent to from 62 to 70 cents, clean basis, which for fine wools shows a rise of 5 cents, clean basis from the low point and brings these wools fully to parity with Boston. "Australian markets are a bit stronger, although English mar kets are barely maintained on Merinos. . j "There is a healthy tone In the piecegoods markets and no large surpluses in goods apparent, al though stocks of wool reported as of September 2 4 were 147 million pounds,' compared with 139 million the preceding quar ter and 135 millicn pounds a year ago. j leven of Diamonds BAYNARD i A. KENDRICK sure, tie was employed oy an un known man who. approached him in New York saloon. I think well have a swell time trying to connect Monets Caprilli with that set-up. We certainly can't jail : the Bes singers and charge them with being followed by Sniffer Carew." "Cant the New York "police get some information out of that Hoxby outfit?" I "Not . chance, Pat, They'll be holding all Carew's reports on file for a client named John Smith who has paid them but neglected to call and they won't have an idea in the world why the Bessingers ar.e being tailed or who the Bessingers are. Its a blind alley. I wish I knew the righl thing to do!" "I thought you decided that!" Millie removed her hat and shook out her curls "Do you always get so gabby after one or two drinks? You spent an hour telephoning to locate the big noise and his wife after they left the Inn. Now that we're here the least we can do is stop in and watch them lose their money, while you buy me a drink." : "That's one burden," Stan said savagely, "that's going to tail on JJurlyn , Kessinger. tie can pay through the nose for his feverish eyes." j Patterson parked the coupe in the courtyard, which Edward Fowler had crossed less than two weeks be fore, and the police car with Hogue driving, rolled in close behind it and stopped. Two lights, on wrought iron posts, flanked the entrance to the Gulf Club, shining spongily yel low through the rain. The windows were curtained and dark, giving no hint of the brilliance inside. tan had no card, Dut Millie as sured him she could get him into any place in Miami where he could spend money, and Stan believed her. They crossed the courtyard on the run, and stood in tbe vestibule for a mo ment until the door opened to admit them. A short suave gentleman in evening clothes gave Millie a cordial welcome, and made out card for Stan, signing it with an indistin guishable flourish, ' "I leave you in good hands," he told Stan, with an automatic smile. "Good luck!" He was gone through a door. t " They passed through a reception room, sky-lighted and much be palmed, where small tables were set about a playing fountain. A girl came through i swinging doors to their left, bringing with her the murmur of voices and the drone of a croupier. Millie tightened the pressure of her harjd on Stan's arm. c. "They're playing the wheeL spotted him as that girl came out1 ! "Oh, Mr. Rice!" Stan received i coquettish tap on the shoulder, and turned to face Mrs. Bessmger. " never knew you indulged in any thing so wicked as gambling. thought it was only we weaker mor tals who were so addicted. Durlyn will be so pleased to see you. You made rueh an impression on him at the Commander's party " - aVtf n - eta ar , -wen aeane mer' Mimes eyes squinted owlishly, and she slowly shook her head from side to side. Ish Mrs. Beshmger go'ol Mish Bessissger. Si'right down. Mis'- Rice's ordering wine lo's' go'ol wine. Chateau Why-queems." She threw her arms around Mis. Bes. sfnger's large neck, and favored her with a resounding kiss. Borne down by Millie sluggish weight, Mrs. Bessinger found herself heavily oc cupying a chair. . . t "Gracious!" she exclaimed, gasp ing heavily. "Did I trip you.

Wheat Up Over 1 Cent Bushel Corn Also Climbs on Word Federal Aid Will Cut ; 1939 Acreages CHICAGO,- Oct. 21-P)-Fre6h advances . of 1 M .. cents a bushel here today both lor wheat and corn accompanied trade predic tlonsu that government assistance virtually assured domestic high er prices. : :; - -1 ' ;. 1 Many boyeri acted on l belief that federal loans and rubsidies and other helps given to farm ers for this year wheat crop would be supplemented by a rad ical reduction of United States acreage, next , year. It was con tended that with the govern ment willing to finance farmers in holding wheat this season, a prospective small crop xext year would make a string situation domestically, regardless of what occurs in foreign markets. Kxport Buying Slow Immediate new export business in wheat was disappointing, al though scattered takings from Canada for overseas were noted. European purchases of United States com todav totaled about 400,000 bushels. At the close, Chicago wheat futures were i-l'i higher com pared with yesterday's finish, Dec. 66-. May 68-, corn -lH.up, Dec. 46-, May 50 -4, oats - advanced, rye showing - gain, and pro visions 10 to 15 cents bulge. Machinery Used i For Corn Husking tCORTH HOWELL Husking corn by machinery is a new ven ture in this community and neighbors are all interested in the corn husking machine which was at work on the Wallman farm Friday. : . ? The machine , will harvest 15 acres of corn in one day and the cost is 50 per. cent less than if hired help were used. One wagon is hooked to the machine, and when it is filled, another wagon is put in its place. Two teams are kept busy haul ing corn to the barn. . , Mus ashk him di'she trip me!" She freed herself from Mrs. Bessinger with an agility rather startling in one apparently so drunk, and tacked her way through the swinging doors. Star, pulled a chair up close to Mrs. Bessinger, and sat down facing her. She regarded him with a feel ing close to alarm. He was staring at her with glazed blue eyes, and was swaying monotonously from ' side to side. The motion had a strong hypnotic quality, and while she feared that any moment Stan might slip from the chair, she had an overwhelming desire to start sway ing in unison with him. She started to rise. He waved her back into place with a hand as agile as the flipper of a seal. "My dear Mrs. Bessinger, his voice was se pulchral, "I did not come here to gamble. I came here to drink " i "But, Mr. Rice" "You are one of the few women who have not stripped all the nice ties from life. I appreciate your del icacy in refusing to join me without your husband nevertheless, I shall order wine!" - He clapped his hands loudly in front of Mrs. Bessinger's face. "Bring wine, boy!" he ordered, so realistically that she could hardly credit her senses when she . turned and found no waiter behindTher. . From beyond the swinging doors came the sound of protesting voices, a few bursts of loud laughter, and a moment later a rending crash. It proved too much for Mrs. Bessinger. Followed by Stan she jumped to her feet and rushed into, the roulette room. The scene was too', much to take in at a single glance. Chips were scattered about the floor in every direction. Five frightened women were huddled together on one side of the table .watching a group of men on the other side with distended eyes. In the middle of the group, a croupier in evening clothes was jumping up and down like a maniac, swearing loudly , in fluent French. With the handle of his rake he was pointing, and poking, at something on the floor, concealed from the swinging doors by the intervening table, ... Teetering slightly, Stan walked gravely around the table, Mrs. Bes singer close on his heels. Holding m fat wallet in one hand, Millie was seated astride the apoplectic form of Durlyn Bessinger, who kept mak ing vain snatches at the wallet held just out of his reach. T : " ; ."Durlyn .ol'Durlyn," yelled HQ. S brndlshineT the wallet at Stan. Hesh goin' to buy wine! Chateau -Why-queens!" The short man with the automatic smile appeared at Stan's side. "What's the trouble here?? i ."That woman has stolen "my bus band's wallet!" Mrs. Bessinger pointed a trembling finger. "Thash a lie a dirty lie" Mil lie began to weep real tears. ; "She didnt steal anything," said a girl in the crowd. "She'a a bit to kt and having a little fug that's "You better let me handle this, Stan proclaimed with great dignity. . Go aead and handle it," said the manager. "But make it snappy t 111 appreciate it if youU take Mist LaFrance home." -Quit crying. .Millie," Stan said tenderly, "and tret fv r singer's stomach. You can give him his wallet, too, ' I'll wine!"
