By VICTOR BRIDGES XYXarSISl Nicholas TrencH has learned a pood deal about the mysterious disappearance of a vnhiable formula lielonnina to Molly "'lliien, from Sir William Avon. Xick, with Jerry Uordaunt and ilnlly, plan to visit a deserted factory ichere John Osborne, uho first stole the formula, manuaC' turrd a piece of the metal It de scribes. They will go on Jerry's little cutter. While they are di eusalnu the matter Jerry catches stfiht of a waiter lurking about the door, and accuses him of swing. Chapter 25 JIMMY FOX talHY should I answer your ques tions?" the waller demanded. "1 have done nothing wrong. It Is you who bave struck and assaulted me. It you do not let me go at once. 1 1 shall sneak to the manager." "You'll speak to the manager, all right," said Jerry. "I'll see t. that." Be pointed to the door. "Get out," he rasped. "Get out quick, before I (break your neck!" I For a rash Instant KUner-seemed 'inclined to continue the discussion. Ills Hps opened, and then, Just as he was about to speak, something In Jerry's face apparently checked the Impulse, and with a furtive glance at all three of us, he sidled hastily from tho room. "Right you are," said Jerry. "You get ahead Willi 1L Molly and I will go back to the flat, and you can join us there. Then we'll take George for a walk and bare tea In the Park." "I don't think I shall ever want to eat again," protested Molly. "Yon gave me such a huge lunch." "You must have tea," said Jerry firmly. "I've booked a table a'. Clro'a tonight, and one can't dance on an empty tummy." We waited for a minute while Tolly powdered her nose and put on a hat, and then, making our way to the end of the corridor, walked down the broad deserted staircase. As we arrived at the bottom I saw Jimmy on the opposite side of the lounge. I gave blm an encouraging nod, and leaving the others to make their exit, walked over to an unten anted corner, I HE HAD evidently thought out his preparations, for, disappearing promptly through an adjoining door way, he emerged a moment later car rying a neatly tied brown paper par cel. "These are thorn, sir," he whis pered, coming across to where I was waltmg. "They ain't up to much Just a few bits I done at odd times. It won't be 'nlf kind If you'll 'ave t look through them."

(AP) The laboi relations board Monday held the Los Arigeles Railway corpor ation and the Loa Angeles Motor Coach Co. In violation of section 7-A of the national recovery act, which guarantees labor the right of col lective bargaining. The board announced that unless they recognized the Amalgamater As ;clation of Street and Electric Rail way Employes of America within 10 days the case will be referred to the NRA compliance division and several federal agencies "for appropriate action." THE DAY AFTER By GLUYAS WILLIAMS Have'a group photograph made by Shangle while you arft all home fot the holidays, Phone 542. We'll haiH away yuui refuse. City Sanitary Service. "Get out before I break your neck!" said Jerry. I strolled after him and locked the door. "Quito an exciting little eplsodel" 1 observed as 1 came back. "Just shows bow careful one ought to be." Jerry sbook his bead. "Avon was right." he growled. "We are mutts, and we deserve to be kicked all the lot of us." "What do you mean?" asked Mol ly. "Do you think he's one of Or loll's people?" "Not a doubt of It. An ordinary hotel waiter would never have the nerve to do a thing of that sort" He took a couple of paces towards the window, and then whooled round. "Some Russian who's probably pol ing as a refugee. The whole of Eu rope stinks with them." "I wish we knew bow much he'd overheard," I remarked regrotfully. "If he was listening the whole time , , ." "1 don't think he was," broke In Jorry. "1 believe he wont off for a bit and then sneaked back. Anyhow, I saw the door move; that's what attracted my attention. "It'ELL, whatover the damnge Is, ' ' It's done now," 1 pointed out. "Sooms to me our best plan Is to keep quiet. Molly's going to be here for another couple of days, and It we complain to the manngor It will probably get all round the hotel. Wo don't want to havo everybody talk Ire. and gossiping about her." "There's something In that," ad mitted Jorry. "All the same, I'd like to know who this skunk Is, and where they got him from." "I can probably And out," I said with a sudden Inspiration. 'You re umuibor iiint kid I spoke to on my way up?" He nodded. "Ho's a sort of protg of mine Used to attend a drawing-class In Battcrsea. I're promised to look over some work of his when 1 go down, and I'll ask him If he can fer ret out anything about our pal's rec ord " "llo'll tell all the other page boys." "Not he," I retorted. "Jimmy's a bright lad, and It I'm not mistaken he's by nv of being rather attached to me. We can trust him absolutely." I "I'll tako them home with mo," 1 said, "and I'll let you know what I think about thorn tomorrow. . . Look here, Jimmy," I added. "You can keep a quiet tongue In your head, can't you?" He nodded. "1 want you to help me," 1 went on. "There's a waiter bere who calls himself Kllnor Jacob Kllner. A lit tle while ago, when I was upstairs with that lady and gentleman who bave Just gone out. we found blm listening outside the door. As It hap pons we were talking about some thing very private. I'm not golug to moke a fuss, or anything of that sort, but It It's possible I'd like to And out who he is and where the got blm from." His eyos brightened. "1 can di that for you, sir," he said eagerly "Somo of the chaps here are suro tr , know." "I'll bo most grateful If you wl!i Jimmy," 1 said, "but you must b precious careful how you sot It work. I don't want Kllner to gues that I'm making Inquiries abo:i him." "I won't give It away, sir. You cat trust me, honest." He hesitated, ant then flushed. "Why, I'd I'd do any thing to help you. sir," he stam morod. , The stntemont was so obvious! sincere that a fresh Idea siuhloali struck me. "Woll, there's another way Ir which you might be usoful, Jimmy,' I said. "That young lady I was talk Ing about, who Is sleeping I Num ber eighty-six, Is a rnther partlculni friend of mine. Her name's Mlsi O'nrlon. Quite by accident she's go mixed up with a rottor. crowd of for elgncra, who are trying to frlghte: her and cheat hor. Now 1 don't sup pose that anyone will Interfere will her here, but all the same, thes. people are an ugly lot, and I'd fee happier If I knew that there wa somebody In the hotel who woul' let me know at once In case any thing went wrong It would only h a question of ringing me up on t' phone." tConrloht. mi, tvn rHi.Mnj i- Nlck otl mrprllt from hi nllaltnr l.mnrrpw.
