THE POLICE
"lAROUtKE heard Jim Bay,
all right."
They eame out Into the open.
Kitty and Jock wera clo,1, to"
gather, whispering. The torch
played oa Jim again. Kitty ran for
ward. "The next clue ta the Heart and
Hand at Hinton. We can all go on
together It'll be much more fun.
Hurry up there are more cars
coming!"
Jim slipped a hand through Caro
line's arm. They orossed to the
other car and he helped her In. She
and Kitty had the back seat Jock
Anderson took the wheel. They
passed a couple of cars In the lane,
and Kitty screamed out,
"We've beaten you! You'll have
to hurry!"
As soon as they were out on the
main road Jim spoke.
"I'm afraid I don't want to go to
the Heart and Hand."
Jock Anderson said nothing.
Kitty gave a stifled giggle.
Jim spoke again.
"I don't think you're deaf, Ander
on, but perhaps you don't speak
mlng. The light swept over tnen
all and waB gone again. Kitty saw
the back of Jock's head, Jim Ran
dal's profile, and, as she turned to
get the glare out of her eyes, Caro
line. She took Carolines face back
Into the darkness. What did she
want to look like that for? It spoilt
the la-k. It made her feel bb if some
one had poured cold wator down the
back of her neck. ,
THEY came Into Hinton, ana
stopped at Major Anderson's
gate. The house faced the Heart
and Hand across the village street,
a circumstance which had op
pressed the landlord for twenty
years. A man may be sober, honest,
and law-abiding, without finding It
agreeable to have the eye of the law
for ever trained npon mi premises.
"I haven't seen a drunken man in
Hinton for fifteen years," Major
Anderson was wont to say.
He lived In a low two-storied house
which was hardly more than a cot
tage. It held himself, a quiet eld
erly sister who kept cats, and spo
radic nephews and nieces who
turned things upside down and left
rather a blank when they went
away.
The party of four had reached the
porch, when the door of the house
was opened, showing the lighted
CUT INTEREST ON
U
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. (AP)
The Reconstruction corporation today
reduced interest on loans to railroads
from 5 to 4 per cent a year for the
12 months beginning last November
1, with the understanding that the
carriers will use the savings to em
ploy additional men during the win
ter. Jefise H. Jones, chairman of the
corporation, said:
"This action Is based on requests'
for a reduction In interest rates
from a number of railroad execu
tives who have offered to use the
amount of such reduction together
with substantial additional funds in
making extraordinary expenditures
during the next, six months.
"This would mean expenditures for
labor, equipment and material, over
and above their budget for this
period In excess of the program pre
sently contemplated Dy tnem,
the
purpose being to help promote
president's recovery program."
Duck Hunters Drown.
DETROIT. Nov. If. (UP) Two
men. hunting ducks in a small bost,
were believed to have been drowned
In Lake St. Clair Sunday. St. Clair
shores police located their boat over
turned about a mile from shore.
ATTIT
PORTLAND, Nov. 13 (AP) Grave
concern continued In Oregon today
over word from Washington, D. O.,
that Secretary Ickes, public works
administrator, has declared Oregon
and other Pacific coast states al
ready have received their share of
public works money.
Marshal N. Dana, northwest reg
ional advleo for the public works
admintsti'.'tlon, Immediately t e 1 e
graphed Ickes for an explanation.
"We've beaten you,
rtnless you've been Introduced. Let
me Introduce myself. My name Is
Randal Jim Randal."
"Well?" Jock Anderson'B voice
was defiant, ,
"Well, I don't want to go to the
Heart and Hand, but I needn't take
you out of your way. I suppose
Major Anderson's still just across
the road I don't seem to see him
moving house."
Caroline sat up straight and stiff.
The blood thumped In her ears. No
body spoke.
"I've got business with Major
Anderson,", said Jim In the most
ordinary voice in the world.
Jock Andorson found his tongue.
"I was going to take you there
anyhow," he said roughly.
Kitty leaned forward, elbowe on
knees, quick breath nearly choking
her. What was going to happen
next. Would he try and hit Jock
over the head and grab the wheel?
And if he did, would It be any good
her trying to ecrag him?
"What a lark!" said Kitty ecstati
cally. She did not say It aloud, be
cause Jim was speaking agalik
"You needn't have bothered to
nut Miss Leigh's car out of action.
He cut the loads," he explained over
his shoulder to Caroline. Then, "I
don't know If she'll want to run you
In for It, but I expect It's actionable
all right. We can aek your unci
he's sure to know."
TpHB! car swerved.
I- "I should think you'd have
enough to ask hlra on your own ac
count," growled Jock.
"Oh. we'll got down to you. I
daresay you won't mind watting.
The drumming sound In Caroline's
ears ceased. She was very cold,
and there was a sick weight on her
heart She wont on sitting up
straight. Hor hands gripped one
another deeperately. 81nce they
bad come to the end, she must keep
ber head up.
Beside hor Kitty drew a long
breath of disappointment and sat
back. There wasn't going to be
scrap after all. Of course you never
knew he might be walling to got
Jock oft his guard. She had better
keep her eyes open.

spoke over bis shoulder.
"Very well, sir, I'll report In the
morning."
Major Andorson came Into view.
"Just a minute Gray." Then, as
he caught sight of his nephew,
"Hullo, Jock you're back early.
Whom have yon got with you? I
can't see."
Jim Randal took Jock by the
shoulder and put him out of tha
way.
I expect you've forgotten me,
Major Anderson," he said. "I'm
Jim Randal."
Caroline followed hlra Into the
hall. There was a dond silence tor
momont. Kitty and Jock came
In and the door was shut. Then;
Inspector Gray moved forward and'
spoke.
It you are Mr. Randal or Haie;
Place, I must ask you to accompany;
me to the police-station."
Jim looked past him at Caroline.
"It's all right don't worry," he
said.
Then he turned to Major Ander
in. "I came here to make a statement
about the Van Berg affair, sir."
"A voluntary etatoment?
"Yei. I want to make a state
ment I came here to make one."
Major Anderson opened the door
behind him.
"Come Into my study. Jock, you'd
better take Kitty and Miss Leigh
home."
Caroline turned piteous oyes on
him.
"Major Anderson, please let me
come In. I want to make a state
ment too. I know some of It bet
ter than he does."
She came up to him. He surely
couldn't have the heart to keop her
out. She blossed the Inspector
when he said,
"I think wo'd better have her In
sir."
And then there were four p" them
In the small smoky room, with lta
neat writing-table and Its comfort
able shabby chairs. Caroline sat
down on one of them, and the door
was shut. The Inspector was speak
ing to Jim.
