PAGE SIX SIEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1932. Nothing Venture by Pa trie i a Wentworth SYNOPHISi Nan, her ausM-iit. Jervie Weare, and Ferdinand Fronde, their guett, art eaved al most miraculously from death be neath their car, which overturn beeauee ot a mysteriously loos ened" wheel. Two daye before San and Jervie nearly tell to death through a weakened bridge. Rob art Leonard ie hovering near, yet Jervie teee nothing ttrange al though Perinand deecribee a chemical to rot wood about which Leonard could have known. Chapter 11 DAMAGING PROOF JERVIS turned to Francis: "So Leonard put your friend Elsenthal's stuff to weaken wood on the bridge, and then did you happen to think out how he was going to arrange that It was Nan and I who would cross the bridge at the psychological moment? "It didn't require much arrang ing. You brought Nan down here on a pouring wet evening. It was a certainty that you weren't going to wander round and show her the sights In the rain. It was cer tain that as soon as It stopped you'd show her around, and one of the first things you'd show her would be the waterfall. "And what does everyone do when they're being shown the fall? Don't they stand In the middle ot that bridge and look down Into the pool? Robert Leonard knew that "You made It easy for Robert to Just ns well as I know It, and he'd only tfot to slip over to the bridge any time In the night to arrange things so that the next persdn who walked over the bridge would give an exhibition of high diving." . "You only want that convenient , witness ot yoursl Can't you pro duce him? He ought to have seen Leonard at the fata! spot" "I did see him," said Nan. "I told you I did." . Jervls laughed. "Oh, yes I forgot Nan saw him I The case Is complete! She looked out of her window In the middle of the night, and saw him by a flash of lightning! He must have been the beat part ot a couple ot hun dred yards away but what Is that to the eye of faith? We eouldn't have an accident without Leonard, ao somebody's bound to have aeen him hanging round! "Come on, F. F.I It's going to be a Job to saddle him with the wheel eomlng off my car, but I auppose you're going to try." He tilted bis black head and looked at them both. His frown was gone. His look had a aurface bril liance ot amusement, but under It Nan, at least, was aware ot some thing fiercely challenging. . . She thought, "He hates me. 1 can't help him." And then Ferdinand was speak ing. "Well," he said, "If Robert want ad to tamper with your car, you made It easy fox him." "Attaboyl" murmured Jervls. "Well, dldn'i you? After you'd jut us down at the front door you ran way back Into the shade. I located the place after I'd cleaned up. Your oil had dripped some. There you were, half way down to the garage with that left front wheel In a lot of bushes. "And where was Robert till about the middle ot lunch? Messing about L WILLIAMS CREEK, Sept. 37.

Other office re elected: Athletic manager, Harold Venclll; girls' ath letic managers, Pauline Vamer and Wllma Lemmon. Three new high school students, Henry Head, Prank Mee and Warren Mee,. from Applegate, brought the with his car in the garage, wasn't he? And what was to prevent him stepping Into the bushes on his way up to the house and operating on that wheel of yours with a wrench? He was going to be late for lunch anyhow, so he vouldn't be In a hurry. As a matter of fact he wasn't In a hurry." "Go on F. P, you're doing It awfully well." "I am going on. I'm going to tell you how I know he wasn't In a hurry. I stepped down to the ga rage and I had a look at his car. There were a couple ot chauffeurs there, and we got chatty conver sation flowed. I wanted to And out Just how much time Robert had really wasted over his old wreck. He didn't waste so very much. He lett that garage at one-fifteen pre cisely. The second chauffeur hap pened to notice the time, because he'd got a date with a girl at least that's what I gathered from tbe way be looked when the other one chaffed him abcut being so sure of the time. So you see Robert didn't hurry." "Well played!" said Jervls. "That's a very good effort, b-.i I'm afraid It's not quite good enough. It Leonard bad been up to any mon key business with the wheel, the last thing he'd do would be to ask for a lift In a .ar that might go tamper with your ear," said P. F. to glory at any moment" "Say first Instead of last, and I'm with you." Jervls gave a short laugh. "So he's suicidal as well as noml cldal?" Ferdinand sat back In his chair. "We've got to take some risks In this world," he replied. "Isn't It obvious he'd have left the wheel so that It would have run you well away from the Tettorloys? And It he'd been in such a hurry as he said to reach those Incubators would he have stood mopping his face and watching us out of sight when we put him down?" "Humph! And F, F., can you give one single reason why Leonard should want to kill me?" Ferdinand glanced quickly at Nan, but she was looking down Into her lap. Jervls went on: "It's not up to me to unravel your mystery. But I might say that It I had been klllo.' this afternoon Leonard would not have profited one cent." "Who would?" a-ked Ferdinand. "You, If you'd been a survivor. Are you carrying a wronch today? Because you're down for 110,000 In my will, and there's about as much evidence against you as against Leonard. You were present the day I almost drownod; you knew the chemist; you were In New York wTien the taxi ran me down" Francis laughed, and held up bis hand. "Is there anybody who might Inherit your property whom you couldn't cut out of your will?" "Rosamund Carew," "And whom Is Leonard with al most constantly the Inst fow weeks?" "Rosamund, but " F. F. shrugged. "There you are, Jervls.'' Copyright, 11)1, iippbicofi; Nan speaks her mind tomorrow, and Jervls learns more about her. high echool enrollment up to 29 the first of the week.
