Tony braced herself , clutching at the door of the taxi to keep from illpplnc at the cab veered eraslljr alter. "Not ao fast!!" he ped, loaning forward with her tare rloee to the half-open I lass par tition between the driter and paeaensor. "I don't want to let near!" "Colin kovp moving lu thli liatMo!" tho tliuutfeur retorted Jauntily. "Can't stand 81111!" Nevertheless ho rtackened bit speed. When the limousine In wlil.h Judith was riding atopped to wait for the red signal lights to flash Into green the cab halt ed at dlicreet distance. Tonjr moved Imiai!cntly. She cat at the very edge of her aval, crumpling and recrumpltng the gray envelopo In her band. Her cyt were glued oil the big ma roon car.' Seconds seemed like hours. Tony'a Hps were pressed Into a cruel line. She was like a cat watching prey. Suddenly, with an almost In stantaneous jolt both cars sprang forward. They were on Sixtn avenue now, heading southward. Past 'orty-fifth atreet. Forty-Fourth street. Forty-third. A turn into the maelstrom of Times Square. "Stop here! Draw op to the curb!" Tony Issued her com mands sharply. The taxi driver gave her a glance over his shoulder, "Can't do it, lady," Miraculously the traffic lights turned at that instant. Tony's hand had gone to her throat, she had seen her father's car move close to the sidewalk, pause long enough for Judith to ctep out, then pull off and disappear. Snnk back against the leather upholstery, Tony watch her step mother. Judith seemed to waver uncertainly In the tides of traffic. Then aha stepped forward, signal ing a cab. "That's the woman I want to follow. The one In black -see?" Tony told the driver. "Yeah! I getrha all right.'! Now they were off again. Dif ficulties only whetted Tony Knight's keenness for the chase. In the juggling, dipping whirl of vehicles they might lose track of Judith at any moment. There were dozens of other cabs just like hers. But Tony was warm ing to the hunt, The thick-jawed, short-spoken taxi driver manipulated his cab recklessly. He edged In between trucks and spurted at the exact Instant to avoid deliye. He plunged forward and stopped short. Risks were the day's rou tine to him. They were even less than that to his passenger. She was young, he had noted, pretty and expensively dressed She was very much in earnest. The job looked like opportunity knocking in the form of a size able tip. They reached West Twelfth street. Now the going was easier, They were away from the uptown hordes. Streets were less con gested (though still well filled) and the second cab followed more lowly. It kept a good halt block fcehlnd Its leader. "There's the place!" Tony whispered to herself. The first taxi had stopped be fore a dark brick building. Ju dith emerged, paid her fare and Talked up the steps of the house. "Want me to stop here?" the chauffeur inquired of Tony. "Yea." The brakes of the cab ground together, bringing it to a stop. The girl inside did not step out. With her nose pressed flatly against the glass pane she waited, watching Judith. "This is the place," Tony was saying to herself. "I'll bet he lives here. Oh wouldn't I give anything- to sea him, though! v LAURA LOU BROOKMAN What a little, lying sneak she's been!" Th door before which Judith hud been waiting opened. Now she was talking, though th par ran to whom she spoke remained hidden. The door closed and Ju dith turned about, A guilty blush mounted In Touy Knights cheeks. Judith bad glanced directly toward the taxlcab, but of course she could uot dream who was Inside! An ordinary, orauge-hued cab was a common enough sight on any street. That should not excite suspicion. Just the same Tony (ell relieved when the other girl calmly shitted her gaze across the street, , "What's she waiting for!" the imps in Tony's consciousness de manded. "Ah for what!" ther imps answered back, in ghoullh glee. The question was more defi nitely answered immediately. From out the shadows of the doorway a figure stepped. Tony Knight was so excited a little gasp escaped her lips. The man was slim, built with rather square shoulders but rather sparse line. He looked youthful. He was pull ing a cap down over his head and he wore a dark top-coat. Tony saw Judith atep back, saw her suddenly clutch at both of the man's hands and raise her head. Swiftly Judiths lip met the stranger's. Whatever Judith Knight was saying to the man was earnest and intent. The girl who watch ed, crouched in her hiding place, could not make out the man's ex pression. Her heart pumping vio lently, Tony Knight waited. They were coming down the steps now tose'her. Should they turn, Tony asked herself, would she dare ? They had turned. They were coming toward the orange-hued taxicab. Touy Knight jerked at her hat, lowering its brim over her eyes. Fascinated, entirely for getful of danger, ahe waited. Judith was talking, her face tcward the man. He was rather good-looking. Tony decided. She could not make out his features distinctly, but he carried him self well. He was attentive ,-s Judith talked. Now they were almost beside her! The couple passed the taxlcab. In tboee fleet seconds Tony Knight took in the appearance of Judith's companion. She assured herself she could identify him any where. Dark eyes. Straight nose. Broad mouth and above it a small dark mustache. m Was he 25 years old Certainly no older. He was well Pressed, almost dapper. And his eyes not for one instant left Jo ditto's face. Tony in her absorption with the man forgot to look at Judith They had passed without even l giance at the cab. "Turn around!" Tony told her driver exoitedly. "Drive back up the street." Turning was not so simple. By the time the taxlcab had whirled about and beaded back whence it had come the couple had turn ed a corner. And when Tony reached that corner and prepared to follow the pair were out of sight. The girl gave instructions to drive slowly up the street. It was no use. She looked to left and to right, but her quarry had disappeared. Tony Knight's crimson lip pouted. 'Pennsylvania station," she told the driver shortly. Arriving at the station, she left the cab, paid a 15 taxi bill and added a generous tip. Then she bought a ticket and took the lnterurban train home. The little sneak!" ' Tony Knight whispered nnder her SIDE GLANCES By George Clark - -7"" etous-rir.orr l "He says them gaits ain't funny? Why It's all I can do to keep from bustin' my sides laffiu' right now." breath, "Oh, th sneaking little cheat." Tony was nearly bursting with lh excitement of her discovery. She knew a little now. She would find out more and piece the whole together. Instinct cautioned the girl quite suddenly to turn about aud scan her neighbors. No, there was no one who knew her in the car. The torn and twisted bit of pa per still lay In her hand. Tony Knight glanced at the envelope, then began to smooth and straighten It out. She drew forth tho crumpled pages. "Dear Judy," the letter began. "Sorry to be late in answering your note. There's no word from the Chief, though I've been expecting it dally. No news in this case, I guess, is good news. "I know what you're up against or at any rate I know enough to wish I could help. Can't you get over soon? It's been a long while. Long, that is, tor mc! "There's more I want to tell you but it will have to wait for a private visit. How about a lit tle dinner next week? You set the night. There's a plan in my head, dear, that may mean a lot tor both of us. .Maybe you can guesa part of It. "If there's anything from the Chief within the next day or two I'll drop it in the mall. This is one of the lonesome nights. Why aren't you here? No use starting that all over again, I suppose. Remember I'm counting ou you for next week. Always Dan." The aignature had been added with a conspicuous flourish. Tony studied this signature carefully. Now she had seen Dan (ol course it must have been he!) and the whole letter had acquired added Interest. Dan was good looking and young and in love with Judith. Dan and Judith evidently had secrets. They had been meeting together and evi dently plotted further meeting, llotu received messages from omeoii knowu a the "Chief." Why it was an outrageous In trigue! Thar wo mor to this myste ry than wua apparent. Yet. cer tainly, Tony meant to know It all, She arrived at the house before Judith did, rushed to her room, and St) minutes later joined Ar thur Kulght in the living room. H was a. cool evening, even though It waa April. Low flames flickered on the hearth and gave th room a cheerful warmth. Tony pulled a low footstool in front of her father's chair, perch ed on it and rested her head against bis knees. "Daddy," the said in a wheed ling vole, "sometimes I get eo lonesome for you!" "Why, Tony, how could you be lonesome?" , "But there's such a little bit of time w have together I mean really together, .without anyone else, daddy. I've been wondering if you and I couldn't take a trip somewhere " "Trip are out of the question, Tony. Couldn't think of It. Your dad's got to get back on the Job!" "But. father!" It was a pretty and appealing picture the girl made. Arthur Knight smiled down at her, pat ted her dark curls then looked up abruptly. Judith Knight had entered th house and stood in the hallway. "Well. Judith." said her hus band rather stiffly. "You're late!" "I know. And I'm sorry!" "Trouble with the car?" "No oh no, it wasn't any thing like that, I my watch stopped. I thought it was an hour earlier. Is dinner waiting?" They told her that Harriet had announced th meal was ready, Judith pulled oft hat and coat, gave her hair a pat and said they should go into the dining room at once. The bouillon was hot and In viting. The rest of the dinner was up to Cora's high standard. Judith tasted th food with relish because she was hungry. Gradually she became aware that something was wrong with Twelve Years Mayor and Going Strong! W HEN a man who has been mayor of a big city for twelve years finds out how to live, his words are worth listening to. Ex-Mayor . N. Kirby of Abilene, Texas, dis covered the simple way to health about ten years ago (he is now H.) "I am now a new man, and as active as a boy," says Mr. Kirby. "I feel fine all the time and rarely have an ache or a pain, although for twenty-five years I suffered with rheumatism, and sometimes was un able to stand or walk. I would not give up my simple health discovery no, not for five thousand dollars la gold!" That discovery was Nujol! That's the wonderful thing about Nujol. Although it is not a medicine and contains absolutely no drugs, its harmless internal lubrication seems to make people feel better and look on the brighter side of life, whether they are old or young. Of course you can understand why this is so: we all of us have natural poisons in our bodies that make us feel headachy, sick and low in our minds. Nujol, which is as tasteless and colorless as pure water, helps to absorb these and carry them away, easily, regularly as clock work. Instead of drugging and irritating your body with puis, cathartics, laxatives, and other habit-forming drugs, give your body the internal lubrication which it seeds, just as v OVi - Hon. E. N. Kirby, for twelve yean Mayor of Abilene, Texas, who has discovered secret of success. much ss any other machine. After a few days you will be surprised at the difference in tho way you feel. You can get Nujol in a sealed package in any drug store. Nujol may change your whole outlook on life. Get a bottle today and give yourself a chance to be welll herself or with Tony or with Ar thur.
