The name, as Irene uttered it, rang out with a terror that was the most genuine emotion Derry had ever heard in her voice. As Gaylord's car neared them Irene not only feared him physically but saw all chance of a reconciliation with him fading forever. Derry sat quite still beside her and if she thought about him at all it was to assume that he was frozen with fear.

On the contrary, the young man sat still because he was not afraid and because he did not know what to do. Gaylord drew up alongside them and jammed the car's brakes with a force that sent him skidding into the banked snow at the aide, of the road. Before the come to a stop he had flung open the door at his side and sprang out. Derry did not wait for him. Suddenly he found inaction in the face of this wild man not at all to his liking.

He too stepped out into the road. was directly in front of Gaylord and in another instant they stood face to face. "So it's you!" Gaylord rasped. "I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week." "You and who else?" Derry retorted. Gaylord drew back his fist and then suddenly dropped it.

He looked past Derry to Irene, then again to Derry. "Who's responsible for this?" he asked curtly. Derry was tired of being thrust into the role of a and was in no mood to listen to a repetition of Gaylord's remarks on a former "What he challenged. "You're getting Irene back. That ought to satisfy you." Gaylord's gaze snapped back to Irene's blanched countenance.

She could not look away and under her husband's scornful scrutiny she began to flush. He turned back to Derry. "You are mistaken," Gaylord said coolly. "You may keep what you took." "Sorry I can't oblige you," Derry said wickedly. "The young lady prefers a man with money." Gaylord showed his surprise.

"What do you mean?" he asked. "Doesn't she know?" "I was about to tell her when you came along," Derry explained. Gaylord whirled to Irene. "Is that true?" he demanded. "Is what true?" the girl asked.

"Didn't you know Derry was in with the people who struck oil this morning?" "Struck oil?" Irene repeated FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS By BLOSSER GEE!

1931 BY NEA SERVICE, MAJOR OFFENSIVE PLANNED BY DRYS JOHN F. CHESTER WASHINGTON, June 18 (P)- The zero hour for the biggest sustained offensive in prohibition history against leaders of the illicit liquor industry was set for July 15 today by federal officials. Exactly 15 days before that date, Prohibition Director Woodcock said, a corps of 350 new dry agents will be concentrated in a dozen cities spread from coast to coast for an intensive two-weeks training, Added course. to the present force of more than 1,500 to make it the biggest and best trained federal dry army in history, he said, they will be instructed specifically to concentrate on the large scale commercial violators and the higherups of the liquor gangs, leaving the speakeasy and small-time bootlegger principally to local enforcement. Woodcock acknowledged that for the past two or three months his office had been "bending every effort" toward the date when these new men, selected from among thousands of applicants, could be thrown into the field.

HE'S A BIG SHOT Sahn, recent ly elected mayor of this city, is a real "big shot." Heinrich is 7 feet 1 inch tall in his stockings, and is said to be the tallest man in public office in Europe. He was president of the Free State of Danzig at one time. "Do you think she will die?" he asked Gaylord. "You might wait and find out," Gaylord told him, "but I think you'd better fade out of the picture, Meade." Derry nodded. So only Gaylord and Tommy were left in Irene's life.

(To Be Continued) SIDE GLANCES By George Clark vaguely. Gaylord laughed. "I see you didn't know," he said witheringly. "Your future husband is a budding millionaire." "Never mind that future husbusiness," Derry cut in. "I wouldn't have her if-" "Why, you contemptible sneak!" Gaylord cried and this time his first shot forward to a glacing mark on the side of Derry's blond head.

"You think you can get off like that, do you?" Gaylord raged. "You're going to take your medicine and I'll see that you get it, too!" "Why, damn you!" Derry, halfcrying with rage struck back, "I'll see you both in hell before I'll marry her." "Come on and fight," Gaylord urged although Derry was fighting and fighting well, too. "I've been waiting for a chance to knock you off the earth. Come on and take it!" They tore at each other while Irene sat watching. But it was not the spectacle of two fighting that filled hehe with hormen ror.

It was the thought of her own position. Now she'd lost both Gaylord and Derry, and both of them were rich. All that remained to her was Tommy. She wouldn't even have the money Gaylord had promised as a settlement and it he wanted to Gaylord could disgrace her forever. Maybe if he gave Derry a good and he wouldn't to bring his beating that would, satisfy him name into the divorce.

She searched her mind for some encouraging word to throw to Gaylord (how Derry was fighting!) to show that in a crisis it was he she thought of when she heard 8 sound down the road. This was indeed a crisis and it was not of Gaylord that Irene thought. It was of herself! The nearer the motorcycle officer appeared the greater grew her alarm. They all would be arrested. Everyone would know she'd been in the park with Derry.

Gaylord wouldn't forgive her and the whole town would rock with scandal. If she could only get away somewhere! Gaylord could protect her then and he would want to do it for his own sake. Irene did not think all this out logically. There was no time for that. The urge for self-preservation was instinctive and instinctively she followed it.

Just as the officer drew near enough to see what was going on Irene started Derry's car with a Market News POULTRY AND GAME F. o. Prices to S. D.

MAHER, jerk which almost sent her over the wheel.

The machine would have roared down the road if the motor hadn't been so cold. The officer's attention was centered on the men whose fight was still raging fiercely regardless of his arrival. He had come to stop them and not be too gentle about it either for he was in a fighting mood himself. Fifteen minutes earlier he'd been cozily taking hot coffee in a corner gas station and hoping all drivers would have sense enough not to speed on a day when the roads were like ice. Then Gaylord's car had flashed past at a speed that was not only a direct violation of the traffic laws but also of a cold and hungry officer's feelings.

When Gaylord discovered the officer in his wake he put on more speed and if ever there was a mad man this officer could qualify. Bang! The officer was in a He wasn't hurt nor was his motorcycle but he snow was angrier than ever and badly shaken to get himself together, up. It took him several minutes, taking for granted that the speeder had got away from him, he proceeded at a safer rate. He headed for the park on the lookout for necking parties. There'd been other things in the officer's line of duty besides capturing neckers-a few holdups and hijacking parties.

When he came upon trouble now he did not jump to frivolous conclusions. Two men fighting in a park, one of them a traffic violator, and a girl parked in a car could mean anything. He went at the men in earnest. While his back was turned Irene got the motor of Derry'e car up sufficiently to make a getaway. She tried it but the officer whirled, yelling to her to stop.

Irene did not heed him and he was determined enough to act with purpose. The officer yelled again, but Irene kept on going. Her attempt to escape was in itself an implication of wrongdoThe officer could have gone after Irene and brought her back LODGE NOTICES F. A. M.

So he yelled at Irene a third time, warning her that he'd fire, and still she did stop. Of course he did not fire to injure her but she was hurt just the same. The bullet tore into a rear wheel, the car careening across sending, The open door, swinging wildly, brought up against a telephone pole and the car came to a stop. Gaylord and Derry, who had paid no attention to the officer until he fired, stopped fighting abruptly as the gun's report brought them to consciousness of what was going on. They started running toward the car as it slid over the slippery road in peril of toppling over and they reached it just as Irene lost consciousness.

The men who had fought over her, both battered and gory, lifted her tenderly from the motor car and her into Gaylord's roadster. It made Derry sick to look at her and so it was Gaylord who answered the officer's questions. Nevertheless it was Derry who held Irene in his arms while Gaylord drove them to Oakdale and to the hospital. He held her but he did not look at her. Some of her clothing, which the officer dug from her suitcase, pillowed Irene's head and Derry saw to it that her face was covered as closely as it could be without smothering her.

Hospital attendants took her from him when they arrived there and put her on a stretcher, carrying her away. LODGE NOTICES Palo Alto Lodge No. 346 F. A. M.
