And then, at last, she heard the sound of the returning dinghy. She ran up out of the cabin and stumbled aft crying his name: "Alex! Alex!" The dinghy scraped alongside, and the rope was thrown up. But it was not Alex who climbed aboard. Stunned, Kathie saw Sam Ward appear over the rail.

"Alex?" she said faintly. happened to him?" "He's all right," Sam said, if surprised by her question. sent me for you. You're not safe here, darling." She drew a deep breath. "Oh, Sam, I'm so glad you've come! But you're the last person I expected to see.

Let's get out of here." He looked down at the gun Kathie held in her hands for the first time. "Good Lord!" he said, starting. "What have you got there?" "Alex gave it to me when he left." She remembered belatedly that he had said not to let anyone aboard. But he couldn't have meant Sam! He thought Sam was back Hilo, too. "Can you use it?" Sam asked, staring in fascination at the gun.

Kathie laughed tremulously. "I'm glad I ddin't have to try." "Well, you'd better, let me carry in my pocket." She lEe gave it too him and then went below to get into street clothes. He took her through the dark Jungle-like gardens of the Poinciana Hotel, and drew up before the wide glassed entrance. An attendant ran forward to take her luggage. Another took the car away.

Sam took her straight to the special elevator, and they rose to the penthouse.

Answer Tomorrow tered the deep carpeted living room, the door across it opened, and Sam's grandfather stood silhouetted against the brighter lights of the office behind him. "Come in, come in!" he said, touch of arrogant impatience in his voice. Kathie thought looked even older and wispier than ever, and wondered what he was doing so late in his office. But when she Sam "had entered the office and.

he had gone back around his desk to sit down and she met his eyes. cold as the eyes of the great eagleKathie realized that his look of brittle age was deceiving. "All right, young lady," he said sharply. "Let's have that deed." Kathie froze. In an instant, from somewhere deep inside her, a terrifying realization welled up and flooded her conscious mind: she was face to face with Phineas Redd's murderer! Alex had rowed the dinghy in the direction of the boat he could hear, but could not see.

It WAS making for shore, and he hurried after it, dipping the oars with strong, quiet strokes. Alex had picked up Kathie's brown envelope at the post office and without opening it had gone directly to the file room of his newspaper. This room 1 is the place that newspapers call the library, or "morgue," because it is the spot where all "dead" stories go. But frequently old news comes back to life, like the Phoenix, and it is the duty of the newspaper librarian to preside at the resurrection. Before leaving Hilo, Alex had requested the librarian to search for clippings of the discovery of Phineas Redd's body on the slopes of Diamond Head 40 years before.

"Why all this interest in story as dead as this one?" the librarian asked. Something in his tone arrested Alex' attention. "Who else is interested?" "A young fellow was in this afternoon to look at the file. And some dame cante in the day before you called me. Wanted the same thing." Alex tried to conceal his eagerness.

What did the woman look like?" "Not young, but not bad looking. Redhead." "About 35?" "She could pass for 35, but I'll bet she was 40," the youth said cynically. Bea Powers? It was more than likely. But who was the young man? With quickening interest, Alex took file to a desk in corner of the quiet reading room and laid the folder of newspapers, under down, and gooseneck lamp. open Kathie's envelope.

The yellowed single sheet of paper fell out on the desk. Gingerly. Alex unfolded it. Alex skipped the description of the land and its boundaries. He could take Kathie's word for it that the disputed property was that on which old Ebenezer Ward's Poinciana Hotel stood.

he dropped his gaze to the bottom of the sheet. "Signed by my hand this thirteenth day of August, 1908. Phineas Reed." (To Be Continued) Pair Married On July 3 Now At Home Here The former Eleanor Piersma, Seaman and Chester Jollay, were married in a quiet ceremony, witnessed only by the immediate families, on Friday at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. T.
