"I lii ffj HI 3 Ml'' SERIAL STORY LUCKY BY GLORIA KAYE A THREAT FULFIIXKD CHAPTER IX "INE dny, after Penny had re- turned to the Courier nflW from ono of her frequent visits to the mills, the found Jim deep in conversation with a visitor. He was tU, distinguished-looking, and ready smile waited on his lips. "Hello, Penny," Jim welcomed. ' "May I present Lou MacDonald, head of the County Humane So ciety, Lou, this Is Penny Kellogg, our society editor." "I've heard a great deal about you, Miss Kellogg," MacDonald aald. "I'd like to compliment you on.yuur eviico .f articles en the the Kirk mills. They're great" "Thanks," said Penny, "I'm glad to know I have at least one reader." "Here'a a little story you might like to handle," said Jim. "There's some good meat in this report of Humane Society activities.' "It isn't exactly pleasant read ing," MacDonald warned. ''In fact, It's rather discouraging." Penny studied the figures.' Here, In cold type, was a tragic story of families deserted, children who would have faced starvation if the Humane Society had not helped them. "Ktrktown has the worst record In the county," Penny observed. "Yes, unfortunately that's true," MacDonald admitted. i "There are some men who can't resist the gambling temptation or any other temptations that come their way. They suffer, but those who really are hurt are their wives and childrens W do otir best to find new interests for these men and to instill in them a sense of responsibility." Penny listened in fascination to Ills stories of the strange cases that his office handled. She had never realized such situations existed. When he had finished, she knew why Jim had been crusading so bitterly against the Castro gang. "I have an idea," Penny said, "that we can finish this Castro business in a big hurry- Will you help?" "Will we help?" Jim echoed. . It isn't easy," MacDonald cau tioned. "For one thing, the boys at City Hall are working hand in glove with the gang. Castro spends plenty of money at each election to make sure the right men get . In." V "Then," said Penny, "we'll get r the City Hall gang out, too. We'll put men in, office who'll enforce - " the laws and who'll run this bunch -" of tinhorn gamblers out of town." i "Count on me," MacDonald as sured. He shook hands with Penny . as he rose to his feet "It's been - a pleasure to see you two. Just ; give me a ring whenever you're . ready." . . ; ' "Thanks for dropping in," Jim ,; said. "We'll keep in touch with v . you." . j .; . pENNY. was thankful for Jim's 'invitation to- dinner.' A steak at Pietro s would hit the spot All through dinner, Penny was silent Her thoughts, were on a plan that was daring, ' and dan gerous". It must not fail. She de cided to "say: nothing about it' to Jim until she had worked out all ' the' details. . ; .' .' . : 'Td like to: come back to' the ; office tonight, Jim. I've got a lot of Work to do," she said. ' That night .she sat in 'puzzled i thought- over: her . typewriter. Penny discarded page after page .of copy. For more than an hour she concentrated oh a short, one page thesis. When she finished, she smiled at Jim. "I'm not going to show this to you just yet Jim," she said. "But I want to reserve a page of ad vertising space in the Courier, and a spot on the front page.' I'm not going to pay a thousand dol lars, either. Youll just have to trust me to pay for the space." "Your credit's good," he said. '.'Provided you can give me two references, both of them million aires." "I could." said Penny, "but I won't. And don't reach for this copy. It's for a circular you're going to print, when I'm ready." "Okay, Penny. The place is yours. Whenever you're ready, just shoot. Just let me in on it a little ahead of time," Jim asked. "You're the big gun behind the campaign," she told him. "With out you I couldn't do a thing. Without you, in fact, I wouldn't be here." wunoui you,' Jim said, sin cerely, "being here wouldn't be worthwhile." 'THE street was bathed in moon A light. Walking beside Jim, Penny found new contentment. They talked pleasantly of many things. At her door, Jim pressed Penny's hand in his own. Her Hps were inviting. He kissed her, tenderly. "Good night Penny," he whis pered. She watched him as he marched jauntily back toward the foot of the hill. His kiss would be another memory to treasure forever. Penny found Midge In bed, reading. ' "Hello, there," her roommate called cheerfully. "This Is a fine time to be coming home. I know. You were detained at the office. You'd better think up a better ex cuse than that." . Penny laughed. "My excuse is a lot more exciting than that. I've been using my thinking cap for a change. I really have news to night" "Tell mo about it," Midge bPKged. "1 will In a minute," she an swered. "Wait till I get com fortable." Penny left out the incident con cerning the bribe Jim had refused. Sh glossed over the run-bf-tlie-mlll tocial news of the day. She talked at length about MacDonald and the Humane Society report. Then Penny told Midge of her tan to rid Kirktownof its ffana- PENNY COPYRIOHT. I4. MA (IRVICt. INC ler menace. JHiage sat upright In bed, (taring in open-eyed wonder as Fenny excitedly outlined her scheme. "Careful." Midge warned. "You're playing with TNT." Then she said, as if talking to herself. "I wonder. It might work at that." "My plan must work," Penny Insisted. "I'll need your help. We'll have to get Bud Walsh and have him round up some friends he can trust" "Sure, Penny. Bud will be glad to help. I know plenty of others who will, too. Whenever you say the word, we'll be ready," Miflgo assured her. "The date is next Friday. The place is the Juhn Kiik Mcmurinl Auditorium. Remember, Midge, I haven't said a single word to any one. We've got to keep this plan absolutely secret or it will boom erang," she cautioned. "Check," said Midge. "How about turning the lights out. Penny? We'd both better get to sleep." Penny couldn't close her eyes. She looked up at the shadows on the ceiling, thinking about Jim, about the past and mostly about the future. What happened in the next 20 seconds chased all other thoughts from her mind. A rumble that crescendoed to a roar shook the house, almost tumbling them from their beds. Up the hill from the valley rolled a blast that echoed like thunder. - Before Penny slipped into a robe and raced to the door, she had guessed what had hap pened. There Was no mistaking the di rection from which' the flames shot skyward. She knew this was the fulfillment of Castro's threat Jim had rounded the corner, walking toward the Courier office. Had . he been there when the bomb exploded? Terror struck at Penny's heart "Jim," she cried as she raced out "Oh, Jim!"
