d'ted when Ted told her that he In
tended to go back to the Proctoj;
Iwtifie after the movie and dig in the
w nd where Fred Proctor had pre
tended to be looking for his lost cig
ar*t lighter.
"Oh no you’re not,” Ted said. "In
H» first place we can’t be seen to
other. and in the second place
w’re not going to expose both of
Mir carcasses to that dead-eyed
sharpshooter over there, whoever he
i«. One of us has to survive and
earry on.”
.‘Til tell you what I can do then,"
she said, feeling a little glow at his
solicitousness. "I’ll watch things
from the inside of the house so you
won t be caught.”
"Now—that’s a really smart idea,”
he agreed. “Okay. Sally. You stand
guard with your little lantern. One
ts by land, two ts by sea—and I
grubbing in the sand will be."
At his suggestion they left the
movie separately and 1 met in the
darkness around the corner on a
paim-hned street half buried under
brooding, mossy old live oaks.
Ted grasped her two hands in his
as she came to the rendezvous. "God
bless you,” ho said softly. "I’ll be
& mighty happy citizen when this
mess is over and you're out of that
slaughterhouse.”
‘‘l don’t mind it. Ted. It’s fun,
plotting, slithering about like a gum
shoe and—helping you.”
’‘You're a darling, Sally. I—”
But he paused. "Let’s get going,"
he commanded.
'But-you were saying?” Sally
said, smiling at him.
”1 know—but I was just saying.
It doesn't mean anything yet. I
haven’t any right to start saying
things until we see some daylight
thead."
“I like to hear them, though."
“You'll be hearing them all right,

Sally felt a pleasant glow as she
*»lked along beside this tall, sincere
young man. He was very fond of

She looked again through the key hole.
Ted left Sally just short of the
cab-stand. “Now, remember,” he
said, "this may seem like a lark, but
you can’t tell but what that joint is
watched.”
Remembering his warning, Sally
studdied the cab driver carefully as
she got into the car. He was a dark,
wispy young man, no larger than a
half-grown boy, and he seemed quite
harmless. Yet she noticed that when
she gave him the address of' the
Proctor residence, he caught a quick
shrewd glimpse of her over his
shoulder. That might not mean a
thing; yet, again, anything might
have a meaning these days.
Sally entered the house humming
softly and looked into the library.
At first she did not notice Fred Proc
tor, then she became conscious of his
presence in the far corner of the
room, sitting in a big chair and bend
ing over a large open book. "I just
saw the silliest movie,” she an
nounced, disarmingly.
Proctor was looking at her quiz
zically. Without removing his dark
eyes, he softly closed s he book. As
Sally drew near she noticed that it
was a gray, leather-reinforced book
keeping volume of some sort. She
noticed, too. that the man shifted his
position and rested his elbow on it
and the end-table on which it sat.
"I was wondering where you had
gone,” he said pleasantly. But the
pause that followed was not pleasant
—for Sally.
"Do you know.” he said, "1 wish
you wouldn’t hurry off to town that
way, alone, without telling me.”
She felt her heart swell and rise
into her breathing apparatus. Des
perately, she fumbled for some re
ply. -
"What do you do? Take the
bus?”
“Why, yes,” she said nervously.
He shook his head and smiled.
“It’s quite a walk to the bus and it
isn't the most convenient form of
transportation. After this I wish
you’d take one of the cars. No sense
in having two of them and one ly
ing idle. You’re perfectly welcome,
you know. You drive, don’t you?”
“Why—yes, Mr. Proctor,” she
stammered, unnerved by her relief.
"Well, then, just get the keys
whenever you want to run over
alone. I’ll have them or they’ll be
in the desk. You might just as well
have the use of a car now that I’ve
such an efficient man to look after
them." (
“I think I’ll get some sleep,” Sally
said drowsily. “I doubt if I can stay
awake till I get- upstairs.”
"If you can't and I hear you bump
the floor I’ll come right along and
carry you up and tuck you in,”
Proctor suggested lightly.
"You bet you will!” Sally thought.
She yawned again and started for
the stairs. "G’night,” she mumbled.
She went to her room, got into her
pa jamas and negligee and then left
her door slightly ajar with the light
still on while she brushed her teeth.
will have to contain some very tsart
llng evidence to cause Governor Eh
hinghaus to change his mind with re
gard to Fugleman.
The entire case hinges on the tes
timony of Mrs. Carter who heard the
shot that killed her husband and who
entered the back room of the filling
slation just as the man who shot her
husband walked Gut the door with a
smoking rtvolver in his hand. Mrs.
Carter has positively identified Fogle
man as the man who shot her hus
band. Affidavits have been presented,
however, from those who talked with
Mrs. Carter immediately after the
shooting to the effect that she said
that she did not see the face of her
husband’s slayer plainly enough to be
sure who he was. Fogleman’s attor
neys are basing their claims for crt

She came out of the bath room,
sighed audibly, snapped off the light
and closed the door, locking it at the
same time so that the sound of its
closing would drown the noise of the
catch. Then she hurried to the win
dow and watched for Ted.
She had not been sitting there long
listening to the endless lull of the
surf when she heard a little hiss
from the palmettos below. She was
so startled she nearly fell.
"It’s Ted,” came up the whisper.
“Okay?”
“Okay,” she whispered.
She saw his lean form come
crouching out of the palmettos to
ward the house. Looking about
carefully, she tiptoed to her door and
listened. There was no sound. She
hurried back to the window and
watched the shadowy form below
move over the sand.
“Right there,” she whispered
softly.
Ted looked up and nodded and be
gan to dig. with his two hands.
Sally noticed only then that he was
clothed only in a pair of khaki
trunks. Puzzled a moment, she
realized then the wisdom of the plan.
He was much harder to distinguish
against the sand than if he had been
clothed. She supposed that he had
hidden his clothing nearby.
As she watched him nerve isly she
heard footfalls in the hall ou:side her
room. Quickly she tiptoed again to
the door and looked through the key
hole. She saw nothing, then heard
no more steps. But by this time she
was keenly tensed and alive to every
sound and shadow however small.
Back at the window she saw Ted
still scooping furiously in the sand.
She looked out over the beach and
saw the lights of an automobile in
the distance. The car was coming
at a high speed. For an instant
Sally felt she must scream. She saw
Ted flatten himsplf on the sand.
Then the car, on the hard sand 300
yards to the east, whisked by with
out slowing and she knew she could
breathe again.
She stole once more to the door
and looked through the keyhole. All
she could see was a small section of
the wall across the hallway. But she
felt a growing dread when she
that she was listening to heavy
breathing hardly an arm’s length
away.
Holding her own breath while her
heart knocked painfully in her tight
chest, she looked again through the
keyhole and this time saw a shadow
on the wall, a shadow that she knew
almost intuitively, was that of the
evil-looking Gus Vitelli. Suddenly
the light was cut off from the key
hole as a man’s body came bending
down outside the door. Sally jumped
back, terrified. He was looking
through the keyhole, q
On her hands and knees she
wormed her way to the window and
peered out. Ted waa gone.

STEVENSONTELLS
OF SOM SYSTEM
Perfected After Five Years
Os Laboratory Research
Effort
Manger Stevenson of the Stevenson
theatre announces that a contract has
just been signed for an installation
of Western Electr.c Wide Range
Sound, the new sound system that is
revolutionizing talking pictures, in
his theatre. The installation will be
completed July 31. It will be the first
in this locality and one of the first
anywhere in the country.
In explaining the significance of
this installation for his patrons, Man
ager Stevenson said:
"Wide Range is the new sound sys
tem upon which the scientists and
engineers of the Bell Telephone la
boratories and the Western Electric
Company have been work.ng for more
than five years. It represents the big
gest step made to date toward per
fection in recording and reproducing
sound in talking pictures and can be
compared, in importance, only with
the introduction of talking pictures
themselvves. From the standpoint of
clarity and fidelity and sound qual
ity, it is comparable to nothing that
has been heard in talking pictures to
date.
“WJide Range is simply what its
name implies—wider range of fre
quency cycles of the sounds that are
capable of recording and reproduc
tion. The best sound systems now in
theatres use can reproduce only from
as low as 75 cycles to as high as
4,500 cycles. While this corresponds
to all the notes of a standard 88 note
■piano keyboard, with the exception
of some notes at the low end, it still
falls short of all the notes that are
practical for hearing *oy the human
ear. The result is that in musical
numbers or orchestral randitions
many notes and instruments have
been blotted out of talking pictures
by this limitation of the talking pic
ture frequency range co date. Like
wise, extremely high or low sounds
like whispers,! have had to be voiced
at an unnatural level to be capable
of recording and reproduction. This
has meant that accompanying dia
logue has either seemed distorted or
has been unnaturally pitched.
“Wide Range extends the frequency
cycle by at least an octave at either
end. It makes it possible for talking
pictures to record and reproduce fre
quency cycles from as low as 40 as
high as 9,000. This is accepted as the
extreme limits necessary for sound re
production because beyond these l li
mits the human ear either cannot
hear or cannot tolerate sounds. It
means that low and high sounds can
be recorded at their natural level, eli
minating distortion.
“The installation being made at the
Stevenson involves a considerable ex
pense marking, as it does, the high
est peak attained in steadw research
and experimentation toward sound
quality perfection that has been going
on ever since talking pictures were
introduced in 1926. One of the most
important intervening steps was the
introduction of Noiseless ecording.
This innovation eliminated the ex
traneous noises and surface scratch
ing from talking pictures. Wide
Range covers the entire process of
recording and reproducing, bringing
to life an entirely new quality of
sound and marking the success of a
half decade of intensive laboratory
and manlfacturing experiments aud
field tests to perfect it.”

drawing on their own savings ae

“The Federal government, however
realizes that this class of unemployed
though they have not applied for di
icct relief, are as much in need of
employment and a regular income as
are any others,” Waynick said. “And
it is this class of unemployed that we
are hoping to reach through the re
employment Service, as well as the
thousands already receiving Federal
relief. That is why the government
has set up this new service to list and
classify as nearly as possible all the
unemployed in every county, and not
confine the lists only to those already
on the lists of the relief agencies. 1,
Will also go farther than the relief
agencies have yet gone and classify
the unemployed into skilled, unskilled,
technical and other branches.
In this way, when a contractor
notifies us that he needs 100 unskilled
laborers, 50 birlckmasonis and 25 con
crete workers, we can supply them
at once.”

and a number of communities are ob

however, that it is not possible for
,'pupils in a three teacher high school
of only 60 pupils to get anything like
the instruction they should have,
since the three teachers would have to
teach a minimum of 18 classes a day,
or nine classes each day, :t is also
pointed out that the smaller schools
are more expensive to maintain than
the larger schools! from the stand
point both of teachers’ salaries and
maintenance df plant. So wherever
that most of these consolidations will
be permitted to stand, even if some
local communities are net satisfied,
for the reason that the ciommiissiton
must conserve every dollar possible..
There has also been some slightly
Objection to some of the new districts,
most of which have been greatly en
larged. But the commission is not
exported to make any changes in
many of these, either.
