Fresh from a French convent, Jocelyn Harlowe returns to New York to her socially-elect mother, a religious ambitious woman. The girl is hurried into an engagement with the wealthy Felix Kent. Her father, Nick Sandal, surreptiously enters the girl's home one night. He tells her he used to call her Lynda Sandal. The girl is torn by her desire to see life in the raw and to become part of her mother's society. Her father studies her surroundings. Lynda visits hr father in his dingy quarters. She finds four men playing cards when she arrives. One of them, Jock Ayleward, her father tells her, is like a son to him. Lynda says a second visit to her father and Jock takes her home, on the way stopping with her at an underworld cabaret. Jocks asks her to dance. Jock gets into a fight with a gangster who insists on dancing with Lynda. He then takes Lynda home. Later she mentions Felix's name to Jock and Ayleward's face displays his demoniac hatred of the millionaire. Jock tells Lynda that Felix caused him to be sent to jail unjustly by fixing up his report on a mine. Lynda says she doesn't believe his story. She pays another visit to her father and goes to a cabaret with him and dances with Jock, who suddenly stops and tells her he is going to take her right home. He had seen Felix dancing with another woman. Felix tells Jocelyn that Jock is a worthless scamp. Later Lynda tells Jock she does not believe in his innocence but will try and find, through Felix, some letters Jock claims will clear his name. Mr. Kent, Mrs. Harlowe's been ringing and ringing to ask for you." "Mrs. Harlowe?" snapped Kent. "If she rings again put her off until I'm through with this. Just tell her I'm on my way from Washington and that you'll put me in touch with her as soon as I get in. It's some idiotic woman business about the wed—" He stopped in the middle of that word. Miss Deal turned her pince nez upon him and all the blood in her body rushed up into her square face. "Oh, great heaven, what's gone?" Kent had stood up. He was chalk white, a pallor that showed blue about his lips. "Get me the police station quickly!" A minute later, Felix seated at his desk, was stabbing space with his questions. Between his brows a deep straight line looked like a car. He identified himself to the voice at the other end of the telephone and then went on. "You've got the man my night watchman caught in my inner office early this morning. Has he been searched? Yes, I'll hold the wire." While he waited, Kent moved the fingers of his lift hand in and out like a tiger's claws. "Nothing, eh? But I tell you he did get some papers. Yes, they're missing. Important papers……And accomplish at the foot of the fire escape? Jove! Get his name, his whereabouts……Well, get 'em. Find out. Can't you make the boy speak? The officer at the other end demurred at some length. Said Felix presently, interrupting, "A woman? What difference does that threat that made her then leap away from her She still wore Nick's but her collar had been to Rory's grasp. He rtie waad had been taken from her crumpled male attire her startling delicacy. There w throat and head gave of her vivid cororing in face but the tilted eyes fla golden, and the lips st when she closed them at reiterated reply. "I don't tell you any must be given his char doggedly repeated. This some outside message, her savagely twisted and shaint. Then, "I won't s one but Felix Kent," she "Why do you keep on now? She wailed when and one of the men's departure with the news that his way, had brought in the rain of furious question She had begun to weep. A voice in the room torture chamber put a quail and Jocelyn opened her lovely eyes wide. That was Felix Kent time they were about to She forgot her attendance She sat up straight, corruel bewildered throbbing and as the door opened slit to her feet. Felix Kent, staring down ed scarlet and his eyes chai in his breath, put up on up his report on a mine. Lynda says she doesn't believe his etory. She pays another visit to her father and goes to a cabaret with him and dances with Jock, who suddenly stops and tells her he is going to take her right home. He had seen Felix dancing with another woman. Felix tells Jocelyn that Jock is a worthless scamp. Later Lynda tells Jock she does not believe in his innocence but will try and find, through Felix, some letters Jock claims will clear his name. Marcella finds her jewels stolen and hires a private detective, who uncovers the mysterious prowlings of Lynda, without knowing who she is. Lynda suspects her father. Jocelyn recides to marry Felx quickly and preparations are made for the wedding. She asks him to tell her the combination of his safe, as a mark of his confidence in her. Armed with the combination and accompanied by Jock, Linda entere Felx office at night, abstracts the wanted papers from the safe and throws them down to Jock, who is waiting below. Then she is captured by the janitor and turned over to the police. Felx learns the next morning in Washington, that a "boy" had broken into his safe. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Yes, sir I know how you must feel. When I heard it, it went right through me like a bullet. About one o'clock, or a little earlier, Rry thought he heard a movement on our floor and let himself into the outer office. There he saw a light moving close to the inner threshold. He caught a young boy in the net of climbing in at the window. "Rory struck him over the head with a slick. He thinks he got him in good time. Nothing seems to be disturbed. The safe is quite as usual. All the papers on your desk and inside it are While he waited, Kent moved the fingers of his lift hand in and out like a tiger's claws. "Nothing, ch? But I tell you he did get some papers. Yes, they're missing. Important papers...And accomplish at the foot of the fire escape? Jove! Get his name, his whereabouts...Well, get 'em. Find out. Can't you make the boy speak? The officer at the other end demurred at some length. Said Felx presently, interrupting, "A woman? What difference does that make? Oh, to hell with such hysterical slush. She'll speak all the quicker if you turn on the works. I'll take the responsibility. All of it. I tell you." His voice lifted to a shrill whining note, "you've got to get back those papers for me or I'll make your place down there so hot for you that you'll wish you'd put your young lady on a gridiron to save your own skins. Except for an uncertain sort of mumble there was no further protest from the other speaker. Felx sat, his hand picking cruelly at a blotter, his face ugly as though it watched torment. He bent forward again. "Wants to speak to me? Won't speak to anyone else?" He sat thinking. "All right. Keep her squirming till I get there. Trust me to make her come clean." Miss Becky asked no question as her Great Chief turned to the door. A moment later the 'phone rang shirly. "Oh, Mrs. Harlowe, I am so sorry. He was here but he's just gone out. I did tell him and he just hadn't a second to get around to calling. He was brought back on very urgent business and, as it's turned out the matter is even more serious than we feared. I'll take your message...Yes indeed, Mrs. Harlowe, I'll keep it perfectly quiet. I'll tell it only to Mr. Kent himself privately at the earliest possible moment." She listened, her face was all intact. I do believe, Mr. Kent, that no harm's been done. But I'm just kind of scared. I wish you were here to go over your papers in that safe. And, though Rory is almost sure he was climbing in of course he might have been climbing out. No sir. They didn't find anything on him. They're holding him at the station. You'll be back before noon?" "I'd have to make it by a airplane to do that, Miss Becky." "Well, perhaps it isn't that important but I do feel kind of scared." Kent, without troubling himself to reassure her fears, hung up and pondered the exasperating news. If the thief had taken something from that safe...a thousand hideous betrayals darted through his fancy, whitening his lips, pulling down lines beside the grim mouthcorners. He saw wolf faces, hyena faces. He stood up. He'd take to the air. No use putting himself to the strain of these imaginary disasters. At precisely non, Charles having been warned by wire to meet him at the landing field. Felix presented himself in his office. Miss Becky was glad to see him. She repeated to him the disorganized details of her information. One that she added caught Kent's breath. "But Michael does say that for an instant he kind of thought maybe the boy threw something down to the court before he knocked him out." Kent was now at the safe and his face was pinched as he began to pull out the contents of the metal drawers. Miss Deal said timidly, "By the by, aghaist. "Oh, Mrs. Harlowe, how dreadful that sounds...Oh, I am so sorry. Yes inded I will." Five minutes later, having in the interval walked distractedly up and down the room, she wrote down on a pad: "Urgent, Miss Jocelyn Harlowe was not in her bedroom this morning. After repeated summonses the door was forced. She had gone to bed early. None of her outer clothes seemed to be missing. There was no message or note of any kind and no explanation has yet been discovered of her absence. She seems to have completely disappeared. No one saw her leave the building. This message Miss Becky, crying and blowing her nose, placed in an envelope and sealed. She labeled it, "For Mr. Kent. Urgent. Personal." "Private" and propped it conspicuously on his desk. The room where Lynda Sandal sat waiting for the arrival of Jocelyn Harlowe's finance was neither comfortable nor luxurious. It was on the contrary incredibly grimy, dingy, depressing and suggestive of down-trodden guilty and hunted lives. Three men were in attendance upon her. They ringed her like a wolf pack and like a wolf pack they snapped and snarled and circled and squatted, wearing her out so that she might drop down unprotestingly to suffer the fleshing of their fangs. Since morning of that April day which was only so short a tale of hours before her wedding hour, she had sat on a hard chair gripping its edge with both her hands, turning her white face from this tormentor to that, listening "THERE are just production. P can't curtail citrus prices more citrus fruits." "During the twenty-fifteen-and-a-half and has sold what has happened? "Citrus consumption has many could scarcely bought more citrus." "Because citrus franks chases.' They are a millions." "Sunkist advertisement citrus fruits as food minerals and vitamin fruit. It has sponsored." "It has promoted popularization of our tracting devices. 145 have been manufactured glass Sunkist reamer ing which help wide." "Sunkist adverti methods, proved able because they are to threats that made her blood attack then leap away from her scared heart. She still wore Nick's shabby suit but her collar had been torn open under Rory's grasp. He rie was lost, her hat had been taken from her and above the crumpled male attire her fine feminine startling delicacy. There was no particle throat and head gave an effect of her vivid cororing in this trapped face but the tilted eyes flared, angry and golden, and the lips still went tight when she closed them at the end of each reiterated reply. "I don't tell you anything," Jock must be given his chance, her will doggedly repeated. This until, after some outside message, her arm had been savagely twisted and she had turnedaint. Then, "I won't speak to anyone but Felix Kent," she had conceded. "Why do you keep on torturing me now? She wailed when this message and one of the men's departure and return with the news that Kent was on his way, had brought no surcease to the rain of furious question and threats. She had begun to weep. A voice in the room beyond her torture chamber put a question sharply and Jocelyn opened her strange and lovely eyes wide. That was Felix Kent. For the first time they were about to meet. She forgot her attendant inquisitors. She sat up straight, commanding the cruel bewildered throbbing of her head, and as the door opened she rose slowly to her feet. Felix Kent, staring down at her, turned scarlet and his eyes changed. He drew in his breath, put up one hand, let it The men, curious, grimly amused and cynical, went willingly away. The greasy door was closed. Felix waited. He moved close to Jocelyn, caught her wrists in his two hands and drew her near to him in a gesture that was passionately possessive, furious, masterful. "Now," he aid between his teeth, "if you haven't gone mad since I left you yesterday—at your own request, as I seem to remember—or if I have not myself lost the use of my wits, you will please explain this preposterous joke...for which I imagine, you've been already sufficiently punished by orders of my own. And you will please return the papers you took from my safe. I see now why you coaxed that combination out of me. At least I begin to see why. Say it over to me now." She found herself whispering, "Three-eight. Three turns to the left. Eight-five-two. Two turns to the right. One-One-Seven. Six turns right. Then turn left." "Right. Now tell me why you took these papers and what you've done with them. And the whole purpose and reason—if there can be one—for this disquising masquerade." He held her away from him and looked her from head to foot with a contempt that scorched. "You'll do me a penance for this," he told her. Then he went over and sat down on the chair of her long torment and, forcing her to her knees there on the floor before him, he held her between his own knees. The young strong body in his grasp straightened and tightened proudly. "Let me go, Felix," said Lynda Sandal. Her voice was resonant. "I'm not a child. Nor any property of yours. I'll not be held like this, bullied and threatened."

Engineer Submits Pipe-laying Plan Fullertonian Believes Segment Scheme Will Save Quarter of Cost If metropolitan water district engineers accept the pipe-laying devised by H. Landreth of 131 E. Union avenue, Fullerton and if the cost develops to be 25 percent less than the method so far planned, taxpayers and water users of Southern California will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars less for the laying of the aqueduct from Hoover dam. Last week engineers of the district received details of Landreth's plan, first on Thursday and through a private consultation Saturday. Briefly, the plan is this: Mould piping in interlocking segments at factory and transport to site; mortaring segments together in spiral formation. This in contrast to the plan of building wooden forms and pouring concrete. Landreth claims that he successfully used the segment plan in building a sewer and storm drain in 912 and 1913 at Edmonston, Alberta, Canada, which he claims, is as good today as when constructed. The metropolitan pipe will be 12 feet in diameter. Landreth proposes slabs 18 inches wide and 24 inches long, both ends and sides dove-tailing.

THERE are just two ways of correcting overproduction. Produce less or sell more. We can't curtail citrus production; more people must use more citrus fruits. That's why Sunkist advertises. During the twenty-five years that Sunkist has invested fifteen-and-a-half-million dollars in advertising and has sold a billion dollars' worth of fruit, what has happened? Citrus consumption has greatly increased; orange consumption has more than doubled. Last year when many could scarcely afford bare necessities the nation bought more citrus fruits than ever. Why? Because citrus fruits are no longer 'chance purchases.' They are a regular part of the daily fare of millions. Sunkist advertising has taught the importance of citrus fruits as food. It has shown the need for the minerals and vitamins of oranges, lemons and grapefruit. It has sponsored research to find the facts. It has promoted new uses—changed habits. The popularization of orange juice necessitated new extracting devices. 145,000 Sunkist Electrical Extractors have been manufactured and sold—over one million glass Sunkist reamers—all 'by-products' of advertising which help widen our market. Sunkist advertising has given the trade better methods, proved that Sunkist fruits are more profitable because they are better known and sell faster. These messages are identified with the Sunkist trademark. So our advertising not only increases the consumption of citrus but the preferences for Sunkist.
