' RACE'S END
VT'ITH both bands gripping the
tiller, Jerry drove straight for
the gap. A deluge of urf swept
over u, half filling the well, but
fhaking herself like a drenched dog.
ths stout little ship struggled gal
lantly on.
Twice she bumped heavily, pitch
ing me against the rail. Then an
other blinding torrent poured In
ovor our bows, and with a final con
vulsive shudder we slithered for
ward Into deep water.
"They've found It look st 'em!"
Jerry's voice rang out clear above
tlia roar of the breakers, and open
ing my eyes I stared back over the
dripping counter. I was Just In time
to witness the end.
Fifty yards behind us, In the very
center of the fairway, the big cut
ter was slowing drunkenly round. I
saw Orlolt spring to his feet, and
at the same Instant. the heavy boom
swung over with a crash.
It caught him full on the side of
the head, knocking him backwards
Into the sea. Then a huge wave
broke against the stranded vessel,
burying her from my sight beneath
a cloud of spray.
aro hound to come right In the long
run. 1 expect they enn't quite make
up their minds what to do about Mrs.
Gowlland."
"How Is she?" I asked. "You went
to ace her last night, didn't you?"
Molly nrai'led. "She's still at the
same hmiHO In rlnuKo of that police
woman. They've been quite nice and
all that sort of thing, but even now
she doesn't know whether they're
going to prosecute her,
"I wish they'd settle It one war
or the other. I've taken a couple of
furnished rooms for her at Bourne
mouth under another name, and If
they'll only lot hor out sho can go
down there and get well. After that
I mean to give her some money and
send hor to Now Zealand. She's got
an unmarried brother out there,
who's devoted to her. She's going
to llvo on his farm and look after
him."
"yOU'HE a brick, Molly," I said,
1 stroking her hair. "I wlBh all
beautiful women were as kind as
you ore."
She loaned ovor and kissed me.
"Don't he so foolish, Nick. There's
nothing kind about helping Mrs.
(lowlland why, I just feel I can't
do too much for her. If she hadn't
told us the truth, we'd never have
found the formula."
"Talking of that," I said, "I won-:

I stared back over the dripping coupter.
It was Jerry who was tho first
to speak.
"Which of tho swine was It,
Nick?" ho aakod. "Not by any
fclmnce your pal rotor?"
1 spat out a large mouthful of
the North Sea.
"I'm afraid so," I replied. "It's
very annoying, because there were
quite a lot of things I wanted to sny
to him." '
"rvON'T got up, Nick darling. I'll
U light It for you."
Molly struck a match and held It
to the clgaret which I had Just
placed between my Hps.
, "What did the doctor think about
you this morning?" she asked. .
"He was most encouraging. Said
that I'd monded up In great style,
and that as far as he could see tho
shoulder would be as good as ever."
1 settled myself back gingerly
against the cushions. "I'll have
these bandages off In another v.eek,"
I added, "and then we can got mar
ried." Molly gave a llttlo contented
laugh. "Better sny a fortnight. You
might hurt It again If you started
hupglng me too soon."
"All the best games,' I objected,
"have a certain element of danger.
It's supposed to add to their attrac-'
tion."
The door opened and Paw son ad
vanced towards the sofa, carrying i
a tray. j
"Your hoof tea, sir."
I eyed him with some disfavor.
"I'm sick of beef tea," I said.
"Couldn't i have something else Just
for a chimge?"
"Not until lunch time, sir. The
doctor was particularly Arm on that
point."
Molly palled my arm. "Me a good
hoy and drink It up, Nick. Jerry and
Mi. CrosHwell will bo hero In a few
minutes, and they're sure to have
some news for us."
"I hope srt," 1 said, tnklng a reluc
tant sip, "I don't know exactly what
the Home Ollleo aro plnylng at, but
It's quite time they got a move on
of some sort."
"They've been horribly slow."
agreed Molly. "All the same, thlncs
dor when wo bIioII hear from Avon,
lie's hnd It for over a week now."
"Oh, I'm not worrying. Father
never mado mistakes, and hoHides,
according to Mr. Crusswell, Sir Wil
liam was absolutely convinced the
momout he-road it. They must tost
the thing, of course, and that's
bound to tako a llttlo time."
"Well, I wIf.Ii they'd hurry up," I
said. "If It's all correct I shall have
to buy soma striped trousers and a
morning coat. One can't marry a
mllllonnfross In a lounge suit." .
Thera was a bang outside, fol
lowed by voices In the hall, and the
noxt moment Jerry and Mr. Cross
woll appeared In tho doorway.
"I said thoy'd have 40 mo good
r.ows!" Molly jumped up and darted
towards thorn. "Oh, do toll us what
It is. 1 enn see I'm right from your
faces."
Jerry caught her two hands, and
drawing hor towards him, kissed
her gently but firmly on the tip of
tho nose.
"Keep cool, my child," he said:
"(Ills Celtic impulsiveness is out of
plnco in a sickroom." lie turned to
Mr. CresBwell. "What about It?" he
inquired. "Shall I spill the glad tid
ings, or will they come more im
pressively from you?"
The lawyer smiled. "Go ahead
with your report. Sir Jcrrold. I am
convinced that you will do full Jus
tice to it."
"Well, It's real dyedln-tho-wool
hush-hush stuff," Jerry seated him
self on tho foot of tho Bofn. "You
understand that, of course. When
wo got to Whitehall wo wero shown
straight Into old lUvkenham's pri
vate sanctum.
"The Assistant Commissioner was
there too. and some other bloke
who. I gather, is a bit of a noise at
the K.O. I.oi-kviil.uni did most of the
talking.
"lie lies an iy exi'hitning that the
reason he'd sont for us was because
certain thliKtt had happened that
both the police 'And tho Government
were particularly anxious to keep
out of the newspapers."

Commissioner Oalther said Mrs.
Emerson received a strange letter
early this week, causing him to start
a secret Investigation under his per

The commissioner emphasized that
the letter did not contain kidnap or
extortion threat.

be kidnaped and there might be men
in Baltimore who would kidnap her.
"There Is no threat In this."
The writer also said that he might
be able to tell her about It If she
would pay him a certain amount of
money. This Is not an extortion
threat.
"The purpose of our Investigation
has been to find the writer so that
we might question him and learn If
he knows anything If anything."

comment on the report here that the
price asked by the writer was $5,000.

ord as favoring the same treatment
for athletes as ordinary student,
pressed Its campaign today against
subsidizing of athletes.

dents should be treated alike sji re
gards scholarships, grants In aid,
loans and Jobs," President Charles J.
Turck of Center college, Danville, Ky..
