whom Carl had killed. ¥ convinced
‘ Bart Jonathan, her dead husband’s
| lawyer, and he turned over a
valueless piece of property, which
was to be my refuge. But Carl
followed me and caught me when
I tried to flee again. Now he has
taken me back to the Leigh pro
nerty—and there I come face to
face with Caroline, who was not
dead, but is Carl's accomplice. .

Vil
Caroline Leigh’'s laugh began
low in her throat and rose to bub
ble almost merrily past her gen
erous lips, her old laugh, carefree
as always.
“Surprise, surprise,” she said,
her voice tart, wry.
I whirled on Carl. “Who—who
was that other girl—the one you!
killed and said was Caroline?” I
cried.
Carl Metzker’'s answer was to
shove me on into the kitchen, past
Caroline, who stepped to one side.
Van followed, and Caroline closed
the door behind him and bolted it.
Caroline turned on her flash
light, aimed carefully at the floor.
“We can have a light in the front
room. Blinds hide it. Frank closed
the shutters, too,” she said, light
ing the way through the kitchen
and dining room, “You took a long
time, Carl.” (
“Mary was slick. I told you she |
was, that this was where she had
come, because she thought you
were dead.” Carl ushered me into
the living room I had fled earlier
that night. “I just anticipated she
would go to the depot to catch the
1 o’clock train. Sit down, Mary,”
he said to me.
I remained standing.
“Sit down!” Carl bellowed. One
big hand was on my shoulder,
about to push, when the question
leaped to his face. “Where’s your
purse?”
“My—purse?” For the first time,
my hands felt empty. I had not
realized I was no longer clutching
the alligator bag that Caroline had
given me for Christmas. Hope
stilled, sparked. “I threw it away.”
“You WHAT!” Van groaned, but
Carl just looked at me, gimlet
eyed. Still without speaking, he
took a step forward, slapped me
first with the palm and then the
back of his hand. I staggered back,
hands to my already bruised face.
“Find that bag!” Carl snapped
at Van. “Get Frank and find it!
She had it when she got out of
the car.”
* & =*
I had, I remembered that, but 1
must have lost it when I fell. It
didn’t matter. They had to have
my purse; it could not be found
outside by someone who might
question its presence there. That
spelled one thing. Fire! I might
have screamed if there had been
strength left in me.
They would find the purse—it
couldn’t be far away.
Van already had lumbered off
when Caroline came back with
Frank, who had been lookout up
stairs, and Frank followed as soon
as Carl told him to turn on the
car radio, get police calls. Then
Carl returned his attention to me.
His full lips narrowed as he
sucked them in against his teeth.
“You're a sight, Mary,” he said,
reprovingly. “I'm sorry we had
to mess up your face that way.”
“And your beautiful hair!” Car
oline tsk-tsked her sarcasm.
“Mary, Mary, why couldn’t you
have stayed the dumb little re
searcher?”
Carl Metzker chuckled. There
was no more mirth in the sound

ON SUDDEN DEATH — Pedestrians examine crosses, one for each of Colorado’s traffic
victims in 1951, planted before wrecked auto at busy Denver intersection as warning to all
than there had been that evening
T heard him laugh at the man from
Washington, In that mood he was
not THE Carl Metzker of Carl
Metzker, Public Relations, he was
Carl Metzker, traitor, in whose
eyes human life was expendable.
Anybody’s life but his.
“Mary’s patriotic, Caroline,”
Carl answered Caroline Leigh’s
rhetorical question. “Where you
and I are practical, she’s an ideal
ist, she believes in heroics. It must
have been great adventure, Mary,
to search my office. Luckily, you
told Caroline.”
Yes, I had told Caroline. Caro
line had been my friend. Looking
at her now, I was more defeated,
I think, than I had been when the
police lieutenant laughed behind
my back.
“So you have nothing to say,”
Carl slapped verbally.at my si
lence, “The defense has rested.”
“The defense will never rest,
Carl. Not against your kind.”
“Nobly spoken, Mary. It's too
bad you won’t be around to see.”
He turned to Caroline. “Go out
side, Wait for—"
“Carl!” Frank came charging
into the r00m..“ We've got to get
out of here! State police road
blacks! Hollister cops yellin’ FBI
—the radio—"
“Did you find the bag?”
“No, but—"
‘You've got to find it! Caro
line! Help them! Use flashlights.
Frank's right, we’ve not got much
time!” .
* % %
Carl wasn't excited, despite the
urgency in his voice, tight now
from strain and the need for
strength. I watched them—Caro
line and Frank—ran toward the
kitchen door, 1 looked at Carl. He
was looking at me.
‘You've done this to yourself,
Mary,” he took a step toward me,
“you know too much.”
“I've told it all;” desperately.
‘Hysterical witch-hunting,” Carl
said flatly. “There’s no proof—but
you, Mary. No word but yours.
And you run away to the country,
fall asleep and a coal pops out on
your floor—poof! Old houses burn
like tinder, Mary.”
He took another step, but he
came closer, laughing as he fol
lowed me.
He ias still chuckling about his
cunning when he hit me with the
flat barrel of the automatic, and
the chuckle exploded into a mad
roar through which voices drifted
vaguely and from far away, and
poker metal clanked against and
iron metal, and the pungent
scorched smell of burning wood
stung through the throbbing pain.

THERE ARE ACCURATE WAYS
T 0 DIAGNOSE EAR TROUBLE
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
Several good questions about
Meniere’s disease have been sent
in by Mrs. W. Others, no doubt,
are interested in the same things.
“How,” she asks, “can a specialist
tell that a person has Meniere’s
disease?” First there are the symp
toms of dizzy spells, ringing in the
ears, and slight loss of hearing.
Then there are a number of
special tests including spinning in
a rotating chair and testing with
tuning forks. In fact the special
methods and equipment available
are such that an accurate diagno
sis can almost always be made.
Another thing Mrs. W. asks -is
whether Meniere’s disease is re
lated to a brain tumor. The answer
to this is “usually not.” Once in
a while a brain tumor produces
symptoms similar to those of
Meniere’s disease but this is the
cause only in a small proportion
of those who suffer with this con
dition.
Then Mrs. W. inqufres about
treatment. The majority of cases
are caused by the accumulation of
fluid in the inner portion of the
ear (sometimes spoken of as
dropsy). If the amount of fluid
can be lessened the symptoms tend

the fluid intake of the body or re
moving excess fluid. Other medi~
cal treatments are often used in
volving the giving of certain drugs.
“Is Meniere’s disease fatal and
'does an operation guarantee re
sults?” are Mrs W.s final ques
tions. No the disease is not fatal.
Rather it tends to run on for
years with gradual improvement
in some of the unpleasant symp
toms such as dizziness and ringing
in the ears. There is apt to be
some jncrease in the loss of hear
ing. |
Operations Tried .
As to operation guaranteeing re
sults, this must be answered with
a "no” also. In fact it is impossi
ble to guarantee results from any
operation. Although operation
has sometimes been used for Me
niere’s disease, the results have
been variable. |
Space prevents saying much{
more about this disease now, but
I should like to mention one thing
more. Because of the dizzy spells
victims of Meniere’s disease are
particularly liable to falls in which
they may injure themselves, This
is something they — and their
families and friends — should
guard against. ,
SLAVE UNDERGROUND |
Perhaps 100,000 southern slaves ‘
were spirited to freedom in the
