(Editor's notei Because of story below, th installment appearing today is th on which should haT appeared Sunday. July 12. Subsequent chapters will appear in their regular order.) Chapter 21 Familiar Profile JOYCE followed to th bedroom doorway and when the light was turned on she saw that here too. a search had been made. Then a new thought struck at her and ahe turned and hurried back cross the living room. This was a front apartment with two windows overlooking the street and one on the side. She went to one of those at the front and pressed her face against the glass. Below the wet pavement was sleek and shiny with the reflection of the corner street light, the tops of the parked cars glistening. The branches of a maple tree, its leaves mostly gone, swayed be fore her in the wind, making a tracery of light and shadow across her face. When she could find no sign of life in the night she stepped to the side window. Across an eight or ten foot gap another apartment house blocked her view and not until she looked down did she see him. It was the movement at first that caught her eye, like a sliding shadow, incomplete but definite. It fled along the base of the oppo site wall, turned, was caught briefly in the rays of the street light, and was gone, not towards Dean Thorndike's parked car but the other way, to safety. Joyce caught her breath. That fleeting glimpse had shown her a alender. overcoated figure that held a suggestion of tallness even from this angle. There was some thing sickeningly familiar about that figure, about the instantan eous flash of a profile as it turned the corner of the building. Ward Allen, Joyce thought. And then, left with nothing but the shiny sidewalk below her. refused to believe it She must be mis taken. She had barely seen him. How could she be sure . . She turned, aware that Delia was beside her Not knowing how long she had been standing there, but certain the girl had also been looking out, she felt her veins run cold, "Delia!" ' TJid you see him?" The girl seized one arm. "Who was it?" "I don't know." ' Delia looked up at her, face tense and lips parted. "Joyce." 1 don't," Joyce said. "I'm not even sure I saw him. Something moved a shadow or something it might have been a man. How can I tell?" "I suppose you couldn't," Delia said; then, her voice awed and low: "What if the envelope had been here?" "But it wasn't. That's why we decided to leave it at my place, isn't it? So no one could find it? And now we'll keep it right there until you know what's to be done with it." Delia released her grip and lowered her glance, and there was something so forlorn about her that Joyce took her in her arms. Charming Hestor fTHE little butler took Murdoch's I hat and coat, and escorted him ithrough the sitting room to the library door. Hestor was sitting on the leather divan, well propped up with pillows, a maga zine in her hand. Thank you, Edward," she said. "I think that will be all." I Edward bowed and withdraw with a: "Very well, Madam," and iwhen Murdock hesitated. Hestor arose and offered him both hands.

She smiled again. He grinned back. "Well." she said, "am I all right, do you think?" Murdock coughed. "I think so." he said, his embarrassment pass ing, "and maybe even a little on the gorgeous side." "That's worth a drink, coming from you." She gestured to one side and he saw the tea wagon that had been used that morning. He busied himself with Scotch and ice and soda, and handed her a drink. She sat down on the divan. He took a chair opposite, got up again to give her a cigarette and went back. "What's this about Ward Al len?" he asked. Her face sobered and she looked Fast him. "I don't know, exactly, liked Ward, and in Caragut he wasn't altogether very successful. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm not sure that I should, although I know what I'm about to say will be safer with you than anyone else. ... I met him not long after he arrived in San Baria. It was Inevitable that I should, since good-looking young Americans are scarce and always in demand at club parties and dances." She settled herself against the pillows and looked in her glass. "He'd come there to work for a bank or some investment com pany branch, hadn't he? The rep resentative of some American concern at any rate. Later when I heard that he had lot his job, I could understand why." She drank again and put her glass aside. I Black Fast "tyHAT actually happened was ' ' that he was picked up by a political group. As a matter of fact, it was a pro-Nazi crowd this was before Poland and they were out to increase their influ ence in any way they could. I don't know just what Ward was supposed to do; some sort of lob byist, I think. The thing was, he had a lot of dash and good looks and clothes; he knew everyone and was always around. His sort could be valuable to almost any sort of organization. In any case he went along like that for quite some time: then there was soma mix-up and he was on his own again. . . . Oh, yes" she hesitated "I almost forgot to tell you that Perry Clarke was part of th same crowd." "Oh." Murdock said, "so that's how it started?" "I don't know," Hestor an swered, "but let me tell you th rest of it I'm nearly finished. . . . About that same time. Ward was seeing quite a lot of some woman who said she was an Italian Countess the Countess de Fe rani. She was a professional charmer. Well she had a small party one night. Ward stayed late and there must have been a lot of drinking because-at least from what I heard when the Countess woke up the next day she was alone, and missing a pearl neck lace and a sapphire and diamond bracelet The police found them in Ward's apartment I believe he was still drunk when they came. He was arrested, of course, but somehow managed to get out of the country before he was tried." 'Perrv Clarke knew about IL didn't he?" he asked. Naturally. "You think Clarka tried to blackmail Ward?" I dont know. That's why I wanted to talk to you. If I told the police that's what they would think, isn't it?" "I'm afraid so." "And yet" Hestor eyed him steadily "why should he? After what I had given him?" To be eonttnaed The sum was $3,000,000 more than approved by the appropria tions committee, and $30,000. 000 more than was voted by the house.

Washington, July 16. JP) W. S. Farish, president of Stand ard Oil company (New Jersey), said today the petroleum indus try had developed two new methods of producing synthetic rubber which may provide by the end of next year 34.000,000 more automobile tires than had been expected. In another congressional quarter, Senator Thomas (D. Okla.) said he would press leg islation to create an independ ent government rubber agency despite opposition from War Production Chairman Donald M. Nelson. Would Aid Civilians Farish told a house mines sub-committee that the new rub ber methods may provide 200, 000 tons of synthetic rubber in addition to the 800,000 tons al ready planned under the gov ernment's rubber program. Tires from this additional rub ber, Farish said, would go to ward meeting essential civilian transportation needs. "This is good news," Farish said, "but it does not warrant undue optimism on the part of American motorists. There should be conservation of rub ber. Driving speeds should be reduced to save wear on tires. Unnecessary- driving should be eliminated. We are not yet out of the woods in this business of synthetic rubber, and nothing should be done to waste sup plies that may turn out to be critical." The new methods, Farish said, were known as the "flexon" and "quick butadiene" processes. Dry Ice Used Flexon, he explained, is a rub ber substitute on the butyl type, already being made in experi mental quantities from isobuty lene by makeshift methods in volving dry ice. The quick butadiene method, Farish said, involves production of bunas rubber by using spare equipment and odds and ends of Junk to patch temporary faci lities which could turn out rub ber raw materials. Farish said that after much experimentation with wooden tires, spring wheels and other tire substitutes, the automobile industry had reached the con clusion that for the present time there is no substitute for the rubber tire. He said while the government's 800,000-ton synthetic rubber program was sufficient for the military needs of the united na tions, it would be neither large enough nor soon enough for ordinary non-essential civilian motoring. His company, the Standard of ficial said, believed in any pro gram "that will give our nation the most rubber, in the shortest time, with the least possible drain on vital materials no matter what process is used, no matter what the material, whether it is grain, or coat, or oil. or all three." Farish explained that the de- HAP HOPPER, Washington Correspondent He's Got Plans K"U..I0'Tt.t8N 6UT-TO Imothm- fom mv rosri rvr sot i sabu i but i vt sot ast I tT xv of mv I the bjocklvn wTtgrg0JT.. ju say W .hu Ktt r spponrs ) .. wn I PYONTttturrN 7Lfo: I mov.c 1 raarorcio L ..f apsktot . ,'loi weary )ft J,int.

The reports are to show all serviceable tires and tubes, whether new, used, retreaded or recapped, which were in the seller's stock as of June 30, The extension beyond the orig inal July 15 deadline was in tended, the office of price ad ministration said, to give dealers extra time to fill out the "new and unfamiliar" forms.
