speak again. And. remembering the face and the ominous barrel of that revolver, she kept the little ship forging ahead. Ashore, Melita and Priscilla, forgetting the danger they had imagined as being somewhere in the wood, stared aghast at the swiftly receding stem of the Chinook, -For a moment neither could speak; and then Melita said, in a queer, low voice, Thats not like Kay. She wouldnt leave us here when trouble popped up.

Not unless she had a darned good reason. But I cant understand it. There was no one else aboard the boat, and Priscilla stopped suddenly. Then, whitefaced, she tugged at Melita sleeve. Melita! There was somebody aboard with Kay! Look at those footprints of the man who damaged our dinghy.

They come down from the wood, but they dont go back to It! Melita stared at the marks on the wet sand. How could we have been so stupid? Shfe turned to Priscilla helplessly. What can we do? Were marooned here and Kay aboard the Chinook with a a murderer! They felt no more helpless than Kay Dearborn, clutching the wheel of the little cruiser. While she stood there, wondering what was to be the next order from the voice below, she was conscious of a presence at her back. She knew it was the man whose face she had seen at the porthole, and she dared not look around.

He was in the pilot house now. She could hear the dripping of his wet clothes on the floor. Are you giving her full speed? Kay nodded. (To' Be Continued) valued for its VERTICAL pl-) ISpar. 46 Its most 2 After the prized manner of.

and Mrs. Lester Tippie, of Topeka, announce the marriage of Mr. Tipples daughter Helen, of Elsmorc, to Mr. Paul Bartlett, of Pasadena, California. The marriage took place August 22, 1937 at 3 oclock in the parlors of the First Methodist church in Glendale, California.

The Rev. II. A. Ingham, of Los Angeles, read the service. Preceding the ceremony.

Miss Rosemary Von Graf-en, of Elsmore, sang, I Love You Truly. She was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Charles Krokstrom, of ELsmore, who also played the wedding march. The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of blue velvet with navy accessories and a shoulder bouquet of gardenias. Mrs.

Bartlett has made her home with her grandmother, Mrs. Alice Tippie, of Elsmore; the past few years and since graduating from the Elsmore high school has been employed in the Tippie store. She has been an active worker in the church and young folks clubs and will be greatly missed. Mr. Bartlett is the son of Mr.

Lester Tippie and their son Lyle, of Topeka; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Krokstrom and their daughter Rosemary, of Elsmore. the dinghy. She did not call to them, realizing that this might put them in danger from an unseen watcher.

She hoped fervently that the enemy might believe all three had reached the Chinook. To the practiced yachtsman, the preparation of the little rubber liferaft would have been the work of a few moments. But Kay was both unnerved and unfamiliar with the equipment. It seemed to her that hours parsed before she could even get It unfolded and attach the small bicycle pump with which to inflate it. She wished now that they had all come aboard, and not tried to keep the rifle.

Her one idea was to get away from this strange and evil island as soon as humanly possible. At last she had the raft inflated. Hurriedly she tossed it overboard from the after cockpit, was just about to dive after it when a quiet, suave voice said, Dont Jump! Involuntarily Kay drew back from the rail. Go into the pilot house and start the engine! Startled, she turned to look at the cabin porthole from which the unfamiliar come. In the shadows she saw a thin face below which was the point of a revolver.

Do what I tell you, her assailant advised. Frantic with fright, Kay did not dare to call out to Melita and Priscilla on shore. She realized in sudden panic that, any moment, the man could fire qt her friends from the cruiser. ThaV voice might well be the voice of a fanatic or a mad man. I Almost Jn a daze she went forward, using the hand-rail atop the cabin and expecting every second to be shot As she attempted to obey the mans orders.

"Just, do what I told you. the voice came to her again. Ill stay here. I dont want your friends to see me just yet. Kay slid onto the forward deck and lifted the anchor.

Then, inside the pilot house, she started the engine. The little Chinook began to move forward. Now the sound of the motor drifted shoreward, and she saw Melita and Priscilla jump to -their feet. Ignoring their startled cries, Kay gave the boat full speed, praying that she-could get out of range before the mad stowaway harmed the puzzled girls on shore. Poor Prissy and Mel! Kay thought.

Theyre sure to believe Im leaving them in the lurch! Pulling the wheel hard over, she attempted to veer away from the Island and out into more open waters. But this strategy quickly came to nothing when the voice instructed from the cabin, Keep on the course you had! Trembling in every fiber of her young body, Kay obeyed. W-what do you want me to do and who are you? she called. There was no answer. No sound at all except the low throb of the engine and the pleasant fall of water away from the bow.

Yesterday: Investigating the strange cabin ashore the girls find the body of a woman. The next day she has disappeared! And when the girls return to their cruiser they find a great hole has cut in the dinghy. CHAPTER VIII Filled with dismay and fright, the three girls regarded the jagged hole which had been chopped through the bottom of the overturned dinghy. Footprints leading down to the boat from another part of the wood were plain, evidently made by a man wearing a good-sized outing shoe. In the excitement, and fear of the moment, they failed to notice that the footprints did not lead away from the damaged dinghy.

And lying near, its handle in the water, was a short and ugly ax with which the damage had evidently been done. Theres nothing for us to do but to swim to the boat, Kay pointed out. Melita shook her head. I dont want to ruin this rifle. We we may need it badly.

Ill stay here While one of you swim to the Chinook and inflate the rubber liferaft. With that we can keep the rifle safe." You wont be afraid to stay eshore? Kay asked. 1 N-no, I guess not'. -o -Kay, turned Priscilla. You stay here- with Whoever our pleasant friend may be, hed probably be less likely to-bother.

two of us. But keep your eyes on the wood. Hes probably watching us from back there somewhere. A strong swimmer, Kay plunged into the water and started for the anchored eruiser. She did not look back to see the frightened Melita and Priscilla quaking on the sand, their wide eyes searching the trees and underbrush.

They heard Kays rhythmic splashes grow fainter behind them then all was silence. It might be a good idea, mentioned Melita, if we got down behind the dinghy. Hes probably got a gun, too, and he might take a shot at us before we can even see him. She dropped prone on the beach behind the inadequate shelter of the- boat, and Priscilla followed suit. "I I hope It doesnt take Kay very long, said Priscilla in a low voice.

Itll take her 10 or 15 minutes to get the life-raft inflated with that hand pump. Well just have to sit tight and pray. As Kay reached the Chinook and pulled herself aboard she was relieved to see that Melita and Priscilla had taken Up ambush behind St. Timothys Church. (South Walnut Street.) The Rt.
