CHAPTER XVII AT the first stair landing, Ttiit paused. The light, ho discovered, came from a candle set on the floor in its own wax.

He reached down and touched the in which it had been stuck. It was still worm nnd soft! Tait stood up quickly, his back against the wall. The landing war bare. There were no openings. It simply doubled back to reach another series of stairs to the next floor.

The stair well was typical of those built into the factories of two decades ago when modern health pnd fire protection weren't considered. Cautiously, Tait peered up to that second landing. For a moment his heart wavered. It all seemed too much of an invitation to death he could be very close to the murder of Ludden Dombey and the solution for Myrna's problems. Suddenly ho snatched up the candle, snuffing it out as he did so.

In one swift movement he leaped for the second series of stairs, hclding an arm ahead him in the darkness. Every moment he expected to feel in his flesh th: steel of a blade either or driven. Then, unmistakably, he heard a sound above him. It was the opening of an ancient window. Tait yelled at the top of his voice.

or I'll shoot!" He followed the sound upstairs and into a long, deserted room with narrow windows at one end. One of the windows was open and Tait rushed for it. But beyond he could see nothing but black roofs. It was only three or four feet down to the adjoining rooi, but he knew that he. was stopped.

To go out there would be inviting death in. earnest. Keeping out of line of the windows, he relighted the candle. The room was absolutely deserted. A few machine bases were all the evidence that it had once held life, and certainly no one had been making a home "of it.

TN the dim light of the candle Tait noticed something odd. His own footprints were clearly visible on the dust-covered floor. But the path of the would-be murderer was of a different nature. It had been swept as he went, as if with a coat or scarf! Tait thought bitterly that the factory roofs were gravel on tar. There'd be no footprint there.

Grimly disappointed, he retraced his steps to the street. The astonished stare of the driver sought him from the depths of the cab. "I never thought you'd be clown here again on your feet, mister!" He was holding his shoulder now painfully. "Did you see anything of that so-and-so who sliced me?" Tait shook his head. "No.

And I'm sorry to have got you into this mess, old man. I'll make it right with you and now we'l! get some attention for that shoulder." "You'll have to drive. And say, if I gotta stay in the hospital all night you'll have to explain it to my wife. She's funny that way." Tait slid into the driver's seat. "I'll keep you out of the doghouse, pal," "You were," said Dannie Feeley, 'a double-barreled idiot to go tip those stairs.

But by golly, as long as you did it, I wish you'd got a look at the bird who wanted to cut into you." Feeley and Tait were on the way to the hospital where the taxi driver had been left in good care. "It's that perfume that gets me," Tait said. "Yeah. Doesn't seem like a spot a woman would pick to make an ambush for a guy. But there may have been two people around.

You say you smelled it before. You s-ji-e you'd recognize the dame if saw her ngain?" "I'll say I would! She was a honey." "Of course," said Feeley with ill-disguised fee-lmg, "some men wear perfume. The guy we're after may be one of those. Do you figure this fellow is the same guy who ventilated Ludden Dombey?" "Maybe. Or it might be somebody who just doesn't like the idea of my monkeying around." "As for instance?" "Harris Rogers." nodded.

"There's that He promised you that you'd hear from him, and he has a reason to be plenty sore. I'll have Mike Dunphy see if he can. establish any movements for RogefSV, "Also, it could be your musician. He might think that I'm out to gyp him, "We'll go down to that factory building tomorrow and have a look at it in the daytime." Feeley rolled the car up before the wide steps of tho Genera) Hospital. "Do you think this tajt! driver'll help us any?" "I doubt it.

I was sitting In the ear and it happened too fas! for me. He didn't seem to know what hit it's worth a try Maybe he's collected his wits bj now." The pair were ushered to tho driver's room by a nurse. At sight of Tnlt the man burst out, "Say did you telephone my wife liko I iold you?" Tait laughed. "I certainly did And she believed me, too." "I wish she'd believe me oner in a while," sighed the injureti man. "This is Detective HP wants to ask you uomc about what That is, if you feel all 1 now." "I'm The doc' fixed mt up in good shape.

Did you?" "Perfume?" The man lookco puzzled. "No, I don't think 1 smelled any perfume. But then, my nose ain't so good either." Feeley sighed, and cast an oblique glance at Tait. "I wish I could bo more help, officer. But the fr.ct is, just happened so quick I don't know exactly how it was.

I got a couple ol slices and I dropped 1 was only scared. I just laid there on the pavement with that damn 1 cat meowin' somewhere around me." Tait started. "A cat? You heard a cat meowing?" "Yoah, I think so." "Was it before or after you got knifed that you heard it?" I can't be sure, but it seems to me like it started just when I struck the match." Tait looked at Feeley.

Mr: Muse explained the reason he remembered the man he later was told was Karpis was that he' had attempted unsuccessfully to sell him a car and had left him experiencing the sensation of "cold chills running up and down his back" from seme unknown cause. He said the reason he had approached Karpis was that he had seen him frequently with Grace Goldstein. "I had just sold Grace a car," he said.

The sudden terrific cold froze the animals stoff standing up, locked their jows with the grass in their teeth, and the water froze around them and enclosed in great depths of Ice and preserved them perfectly till the present day. Dr. Morris pointed out that the discovery fthese animals confirms the statements of the scriptures as to the climate and mervelous vegitation until the flood, and that God made every thing perfect in the beginning but that it has been ruined by the sin of disobedience of man.

Mr. Oliver said the Prescott band had made rapid progress the past two years.

Several new suits have been ordered for the Shreveport trip. Band Auxiliary officers are Mrs. Homer Ward, Mrs. W. Hamilton, Mrs.

Greeson. Band officers are Ottis Ledbetter, Cary Jane Greson, Bobby Hismith. Negro Achievement Day Yerger School Saturday Negro Achievement Day exercises of 4-H and Home Demonstration clubs of Hempstead county will be observed in Hope Saturday, October 22, at the Ywger high school. The program will start promptly at 10 a. with Elora A.

Maxwell, local home agent, in charge. Reports on work accomplished during the year will be received from local leaders of above mentioned clubs, also outstanding reports will be heard from individual members. Final check up on club activities to detei'nvine the county winner of 1938 will also be a feature of the program. The major mechanical improvements for 1939 are the new vacuum gearshift with stcrcing column control, optional on both scries at nominal extra cost, und the new perfected Knee- Action riding system on the Master DeLuxe. This improvement includes DP.

Of streamlined, teardrop shape, to harmonize with the headlamps, this lamp has one bulb of twin-filament type one filament of three candle-power, lor tail light, and one of 21 candlepower for stop light-instead of two three-candle-power bulbs as in 1938. Lenses of these lamps are of the dioptric type, which means that they concentrate a majority of the available light rays besides functioning as reflectors to approaching headlights, should the bulb burn out. The lamps are located higher than heretofore, and in their new position enhance the car's appearance, besides being more readily visible to other drivers, and less vulnerable to damage time-proven Chevrolet lc 1 to damage. nigh-comnression six-cvlinder UXUMOUS comfort joined with beauty of appointments in the new Chevrolet interiors. Increased windshield area, re-location of instruments and controls, and several other refine- inents add to the safety of driver and occupants, supplementing the safety contribution made by new mechi.nii.-ul features.

Color and texture of the upholstery are unchanged, but there is a new trim design, employing vertical high-compression six-cylinder vulve- in-hcnd engine, in which refinements introduced in 1938 are continued, and additional refinements resulting in greater economy, durability, and ease of servicing, incorporated for 1939. Im provements have been made in the ignition and oiling systems, the carburetor, thu intake maniford thcrmo- ilatiu control, the harmonic balancer, which i.s now floated in rubber, and the cooling system, which now has a yolf-iuljusting permanently lubricated ball-bearing water pump. The diaphragm-type Clutch introduced for 1938 is continued with improvements, chief of which i.s new provision for ventilation. Outwardly, the new Chevrolet is longer and lower in appearance. This is accomplished by the new design of lenders, wheels, running boards, and hood, as well as by a new window treatment.

The lower corners of the latter appear practically square, thus effecting a continuous straight-line appearance at the bottom of the side windows. The hood extends forward from the cowl in a unbroken surface, curving down gracefully at the front to meet the new radiator grille. The new construction of the top and side nels, from a single piece of sheet steel without hinged or riveted joint, accentuates its clean-cut sleekness. New and larger headlamps are cradled in the valleys between fender crowns and hood, being mounted directly to low embossed in the fenders themselves. The lamps are longer, larger in diameter, farther apart Lnd closer to the ground than in 1938, and their new lenses light more of the road.

The new mounting makes them less vulnerable to damage, and reduces service costs in the event of excessive; damage to fenders. Horizontal and vertical adjustment of the beam is simple and positive, being accomplished from outside, above the fender. The 1939 wheels are new. They have lour wide spokes instead of eight nar- rowtr ones, as in 1938, and their design is flutter. There is inch less distance between the tire wall and the hub cap crown, a feature which not only accentuates the flatness of the wheel but protects the hub caps from flying gravel and from marring against high curbs.

The cap is easier to remove, too, its lock spring being more flexible. Changes in the body proper add much to the appearance of fleetness, unity and length. Elimination of the speedlJne permits carrying the side piping on seat Breathing-back cushion mohair and backs. velvet upholstery i.s standard in both a luxurious broadcloth, with a texture like that of Bedford cord being available as an option in the Master DeLuxe. Front seat frames are lightened and strengthened by new reinforced steel tubular construction, the tube being enclosed beneath the upholstery.

The softrolled safety edge of front seat backs is continued, and all two-door models have the split-back type of tront sea, the cushion being con- tniuous from one side of the car to the other. The driver's compartment is greatly improved, not only from the standpoint of operating ea.se but from that ol comfort as well. Where advantage taken of the vacuum gearshift option, the floor is entirely cleared, and three can ride with ease in the front seat. The handbrake lever is removed from its old location at the right of the driver, and placed under the cowl at his left. Instruments are regrouped, with controls almost at the driver's fingertips.

There is a flush-type lock on the glove compartment, and the hand control knobs are recessed below in the center panel of the dash. Colors of the instrument panel, of var- ious knobs and control handles, and all interior trim, harmonize with that of: the upholstery, making the restful ensemble with maximum appeal.
