Surely there wu no reason for It And, if he had not sent them, why should anyone , sign his name to tne carar Atherton slammed the front door behind him. Pat shook off the astonishment that had held her in its spoil and hurried to the window. She could see him rush--tng, almost running, across the - street to his office. But he did not go in. Instead he Jumped into his car wmcn was narked in front of the building. ' and backed out into the line of traffic. Pat wailed until she saw him sneed out Main street, then she grabbed her hat and coat from the halltrce. sue snaicnea up ner purse as she passed her aysk. ' "Elinor," she called to the girl in the circulation department, "give me the keys to your car, , quick!" Once out of town, Pat relaxed a little. She saw no sign of Ath- erton's big black sedan on the road ahead of her and wondertd, for the first time, if he had followed this route. She sighed, leaned back against the cushions. She had been so sure that Atherton was heading for the highway bridge that his ' company was building! ' Then she saw the big sedan. It was far ahead of her, going up Indian Hill, and burning the wind. Twenty miles ahead, she knew, was the Atherton construction camp and , the new munitions plant The little blue coupe leaped for ward like a frightened pony as Pat jammed the accelerator to the floor. She had to see whom Ather ton talked to at the bridge! It might mean a lot, for she was beginning to have suspicions. Could it be that . . . She pushed the thought from her mind. It was too horrid JLINOB ROBERTS finally lo cated Dave Elson and Clem Evans at the school building, where they had gone to talk to several of the teachers who had not seen Dave since his return from New York. "If s for you, Dave," Principal Jones said as he handed him the telephone, then stared, pop-eyed, at Dave's shout: ' "What? Where, Elinor?" He listened intently for a mo ment, then: "Thanks, kid. Call Sam Blair. Tell him we'll pick him up in nothing fiat" He banged the re ceiver back on its hook. "Come on, Clem," he snapped. "Pat's just pulled one." : Clem Evans was at his heels. 'When they were at the car, Clem puffed: "Mind telling me what this is all about?" , "I'll drive." Dave slid under the wheel with out giving the sports writer a chance to remonstrate. He' started off with a jerk. "Atherton came in," he ex plained tersely. "After he'd gone, Pat tore out hell-far-leather in Elinor's car. She went east on Main, Elinor said." "How do we .follow?" Clem asked after he had thoroughly . digested the scant information. He winced at the thought of his precious tires as the car skidded to a stop at the police station. One blast of the horn brought Blair out, his ruddy face puzzled. . "Get in, Sam," Clem invited, moving over to make room for him. "We're traveling fast" The policeman listened closely as Clem recounted Pat's wild de parture and Dave's suspicions re garding Atherton. When Clem finished, he nodded. "Something screwy,- all right," he admitted, "only Say, Atherton Is building a bridge out this way. The one at the powder plant He might oe heading that way." JpAT cut the ignition and let the car roll to a silent stop. Just around the next turn was the Atherton bridge crew and Ran dolph Atherton, she hoped. . There was small chance that anyone would see her car, for reg ular traffic was routed around the construction project while the new bridge was being built It was half a mile to the gravel road that was the detour.

Almost at the turn she cut into the brush that grew in a tangled mass at the edge of the woods. Briars tore at her hair and her clothes. Her dress and coat were being picked to ribbons by the stubborn brush, but she pushed on. The wind seemed colder here on the hill than it did down in Mid vale and the snow, covering thick layers of fallen leaves, sifted down Into her black pumps. By now she could see the half finished bridge. The workers were CUDDLY POODLE e 7611 by Alice JBrool Cute, isn't he? Why not make him for a toy or mascot?

Or would it? She heard a truck crumbling down the road where she had left her car. As soon as it came into sight below her, she left her look out post and struggled back through the woods. There was a little tug of fear at her heart as she wondered it the driver had been curious about the car. A few seconds later she was on the highway. Never was there a more welcome sight than that blue coupe! Then icy fingers clutched at her heart She choked back a scream.
