E HIGH TO 1JUNI THE FAMILY ALBUM-SAVING TROUBLE By GLUYAS WILLIAMS ..oraia: Peter orloff hae , ,1 to blow up the factory in lhich Molly O'Brien and Kick Trench were locked up, and Jimmy Fox haa releaecd them juet in time. Holly, Nick and Jimmy, with Jer ry uordaunt, are trying to recover a formula worth mtlltoni which hat been stolen from ifolly. Orloff, a eay, also wate the formula, h'ow Jerry has joined Hie partnert at their boat, uith the air of having Important information about him. Chapter 42 , A CLUE "THIS Is omthlDf anyhow," laid Jerrr. "I expected to fln you scattered all over the land icape." "W should be, II It wasn't for Jimmy," I answered. "How did It happen? Were yon monkeying around with the powder or what?" I took him by the arm and arew him towards the bushes. "Better alt down for a minute and jet your wind," I said. "You keep a look out, Molly, while I do the explaining." Making our way back we regained the shelter of the gorse, where Jim my, who had remained behind, greeted us with a welcoming grin. Wiping his forehead with bis sleeve. Jerry seated himself upon a con venient hummock. "Cut It as short as you can," he aald curtly. "We're a job ahead of use tbat won't walL" Hla voice bad a grim note of ur gency, which made me wonder what fresh revelations were In store. Something of Interest had evi dently been happening In other places besides the factory, but since one of the two stories had to be told first, the sooner I got mine over the better. Such being the case, I plumped myself down beside him and set about the business. With the excep tion of what had passed between Molly and myself I told him every thing. I described the way we'd been trapped; I repeated, as well aa I could remember It, every word that Orloff had said to us, and finally 1 gave faint a brief, but vivid account of how Jimmy had come to our res cue, and the amazing escape we had all had from being killed by the Dy ing masonry. "We got down under the bank and crawled along here," I finished, "be cause It seemed to be the safest thing to do. There was Just the oft chance that Jimmy bad got ashore without being seen, and tbat If we could lie up somewhere until you came back, Orloff would take It for granted that he'd wiped ua oft bis list." I laughed a trine mirthlessly and pulling eut a crumpled packet of clgarets, stuck one between my lips "We can rule tbat out now," I added. For a moment or two Jorry sat nursing hla knees and staring brood lngly in front of him. "So It was their boat after all! If I'd gone along yesterday r.a I meant to . . ." "You probably wouldn't be here now," I Interrupted. "Those devils bava been watching us the whole time just waiting for their chance. They've bungled the business pret ty badly, thanka to Jimmy, but we're not likely to get the same luck twice running." I glanced across the narrow strip of water to where the Seagull was lying. "We must clear out while we've got the chance," I contluued. "Orloff ..." "But we can't. 1 haven't (old you yet." He jumped up abruptly. "That woman Mrs. Gowlland she knows the truth." WITH a little startled cry Molly swung round towards us. "Jer ry." she gnsped, "what do you mean?" "I found her In the garden In front of the farm. She was kneeling beside Uowlland'a body. You remem. ber that shot we beard just after we'd landed? Well, you were wrong about Ita being a rabbit He'd gone outside with his gun and blown half bis head off." There was a dead silence, broken by a sudden exclamation from Jim my. "Crikey!" he whispered. "I had an Idea at first that she'd done It herself. She was so queer Dot hysterical or anything of that tort just helpless and halt dated like someone who'd had a knock on the head. It wasn't until I'd carried him Inside and put him on the sofa that I could get any sense out of ber." wnai did sne ssyT- Molly was leaning forward with clenched APPLEGATE RESIDENTS BIO APPLEOATE, Jan 16 i8pl The Appleate' firt snowfall' Sat urday rulted la harrowing but harmlci accident on that aay when th Ford tdin In rhifh Mr. and Mrs. J.

'Just a jumble of words to start with a lot of Incoherent stuff about Gowlland being drunk and threaten ing to take bis life. He'd something on his mind, she kept en repeating, something that was driving him mad. It was while I was trying to quiet ber down that I beard the ex plosion. And you guessed . , .7" Not tor a minute or so. I thought It waa one of the Chatham cruisers blowing up a mine or something; they often practise off here, espe cially at this time of year. "Then, I don't know why, but quite suddenly I remembered what Avon had told Nick about the powder. It put the wind up with a crash. I dldn t stop to question her any further. I told ber to wait where she waa until I came back, and I waa out of tbat door and half-way across the yard almost before I knew what I was doing." I scrambled to my feet. "Why do you say she knows, Jerry?" I de manded. "What makes you so cer tain about It?" "I can't explain exactly. I just felt It Inside me. It was something In the way she spoke and looked. If we hadn't been Interrupted . . ." "I feel It too." Molly was beside us, her blue eyes shining with ex citement "We must see her, Nick; we must go there at once. I'm sure she can tell ua the truth." Yes, but you can't come!" I ex claimed. "Why, think what It meansl It Orloff knowa we've escaped . . ." "What are you going to do with me?" she asked calmly. I LOOKED round with a kind of desperate helplessness. "She'a right," said Jerry quietly. "It's neck or nothing now. Unless we chuck the whole thing and make a bolt tor It, we may as well stick togetber. I've got a gun anyhow, and ..." "Beg pardon, sir," Interrupted Jim my, "but If It would be any help, sir, I don't mind stopping 'ere and looking after the boat I ain't afraid of them awlne, sir."' 'By gad, you're a sportsmau!" Jerry stepped forward and clapped him on the shoulder. "You can't hang around like that though; you'll be frozen stiff. Here, take my mac." He stripped off his waterproof and thrust it into Jimmy's arms. "Know bow to row?" he asked. "Just a bit, sir. Been out once or twice on the Serpentine." "Well, keep your eyes skinned, and If you see anyone coming, hop In and shove her off." He turned to us, pulling out the revolver from his coat pocket "Come on, you two. Mo good mess ing about if we're all agreed. You stick close behind me, Molly, and for heaven's sake look out where you put your feet" With a mind torn by conflicting emotions, I followed them up the slope, and pushing through the gorse dropped down on to the nar row path. If Jerry were right and his be lief had certainly Infected me aa well as Molly It was obviously vi tal that we should see Mrs. Gowl land at once. Whatever the hidden thing might be which bad driven ber husband to his death, we were tar more likely to get the truth out of her In her present state than when the had had time to pull her self togetber. On the other hand. In the face of what we already knew, this venture of ours was surely next door to madness. Our escape from the fac tory waa no longer a secret, and now that their original plans had mis carried, Orloff and the foul crew that he had doubtless brought along with him would be more reckless!? determined than ever that none of us should leave the place alive. Had Jerry and I been alone the matter would have been different but . . . Turning my eyes away from Mol ly, I glanced awlftly In the direction of the creek. The tun was already setting behind a broken bank ol cloud, and In Us fading light the long stretch of desolate marshes looked more empty and forlorn than ever. A chill wind, which had sprung up from the southwest, rustled and whispered among the reeds, while blended with Its dreary sound came the faint persistent moan of the In coming tide. Except for a solitary heron, thers was no sign of life or movement anywhere. (Copyright, 1931, Penn Publishing Co.) There arc Strang, dolnga av the Qowlland farm house, tomorrow, frL, BIO APPLEOATE.
