£25,000 REWARD
&
By PAUL MAURICE VEST
1 McClure Syndicate—WNU Service.)
> *
THERE was nothing peculiar
about the envelope. A New
York postmark. Her name
and apartment address neat
ly typed. She supposed it was a
bill. Idly her slender, brilliant
tipped fingers ripped open the flap
and drew out a bulky, folded sheet
of cheap newsprint paper. Curious
ly, she unfolded the thing and a puz
zled frown puckered her forehead.
The words “$25,000 REWARD
were smeared in great black letters
across the top of the page.
“$25,000 REWARD FOR INFOR
MATION LEADING TO THE CAP
TURE, DEAD OR ALIVE, OF NICK
GARSATTI, PUBLIC ENEMY ...”
Beneath the caption was the pic
ture of a man in a convict s uni
form.
Her frown deepened as she no
ticed the pencilled scrawl.
“Don't he look like somebody you
know?”
There was a resemblance—a
striking resemblance! The same
piercing, black eyes, the bold, full
mouth, but it couldn't be . . . Very
carefully she folded the paper so
that no part of it was visible but
the man’s face and going to the
dressing table, she rang the bell.
Presently the door opened quietly
and a stout, middle-aged negress
entered. The girl held out the pic
ture.
“Does that look like anybody we
know, Belle?” she asked casually.
The woman looked at the picture
for a moment, then a wide smile
beamed on her round face. ,
“Of course it do, honey. He sure
was needin’ a shave, but that’s Mis
tah Bill all right. I'd know them
eyes ever’ time.”
« • •
Thoughtfully, she watched her re
flection as she combed out the shin
ing mass of platinum blonde. Thir
ty-two—she wasn’t as young as she
used to be.
It was time she started to think
about the future.
Bill wasn’t as free with his money
as he might be.
He had told her he was a broker
. . . A broker!
A little sneer twisted her red lips.
Still he wasn’t such a bad sort, but
a girl had to think of herself.
Twenty-five thousand was a real
nest egg.
The sudden ringing of the door
bell startled her.
She heard Bill’s voice as Belle
opened the outer door.
She expected him to come bound
ing into her bedroom and catch
her in his arms. He didn't; the
bedroom door opened slowly.
She did not run to meet him, as
she usually did, but sat where she
was, her red lips puckering into a
little pout.
“Well, aren’t you glad to see
me?” she queried petulantly.
He came over to her and patted
her shoulder.
“You know I’m always glad to
see you, baby.”
His voice was troubled.
“Had some hard luck today. A
bad break on the stock market. I’m
afraid I’m about cleaned out ...”
“Oh!” The exclamation was •
little pellet of ice in the room.
He went on:
“I'm afraid there won’t be much
money this month, baby. But may
be you could take a cheaper place
for a little while until I get back on
my feet . . .”
Her face was turned from him.
When she finally looked up, there
was a serene smile on her face.
“Sure! Sure!” She agreed in •
brittle voice. “You know I’ll stand
by you. We ll pull through.”
He looked at her in wonder.
“You don’t mean it. baby . . .
You don’t mean that you won’t pull
out on me ...”
She stood up and put her slender
white hand lightly on his shoulder.
“Say, what do you take me for
anyway?” she jeered in a silky
voice.
He caught her in his arms and
kissed her. His voice was • bit
husky when he spoke.
“Say, you're a real pal! I’ll make
it up to you one day soon, honey.”
She felt a little uncomfortable.
“Oh, forget it.” she laughed.
“You’ve treated me pretty square.”
She stroked his black, crisp hair.
“I’ll tell you what!” she cried
suddenly. “Let’s forget the tough
luck tonight and throw one more
grand old celebration. I’ve got
twenty bucks. We’ll shoot the
w’orks at Perini’s—what do you
*ay?”
“Great girl!” He hugged her to
him.
“Our last blow-out!”
She smiled slyly at him, then
started looking for something she
could not seem to find.
“Darn it!” she exclaimed petu
lantly. “I thought I had some as
pirins—be a honey and get me some
while I get my glad rags together.”
He whistled merrily as he left
the apartment.
She stood tense until the outer
door closed after him. In a mo
ment her trembling hand reached
for the phone.
“Get me the chief of police,” she
sUccatoed into the mouthpiece,
“and make it snappy . .
• • •
Five minutes to nine . . . BjH
reactyg the lablt ox
her hand. Her feverish eyes fell
before his black,, piercing ones.
“Do you know, kid,” he said soft
ly, “I’ve never been crazy about a
dame before in my life. But I am
about you. You’re all right.”
Her laugh was a bit hysterical.
“You’re pretty o. k. yourself,” she
managed to say, her eyes, fascinat
ed, on the hands of the little jew
eled wristwatch he had given her.
Two minutes to nine . . .
Four men in dark suits came in
and took the table adjoining theirs.
Bill looked at them dubiously for a
moment, but said nothing.
He turned back to her.
“I’m not much good,” he con
tinued quietly. But I haven’t
cared much before. You see there’s
never been anyone who really mat
tered.”
He paused for a moment.
“Sure, there have been dames—
lots of ’em—out for all they could
get. You’re different , . . Say, for
a girl like you I could do almost
anything!”
She dared not look at him.
Her throat pulsed feverishly.
She clutched a red handkerchief
tightly in her hand. One minute to
nine. The seconds ticked off . . .
fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty . . . Sud
denly she stood up and raised the
red handkerchief. The four men at
the adjoining table jumped to their
feet and rushed forward, their hands
menacingly in their coat pockets.
“All right, Garsatti,” one of the
men rasped in a low voice.
“We’ve got you. Put ’em up!”
But Bill was on his feet, his hand
at his hip pocket . . . Four shots
split the air.
The place was in an uproar.
Women screamed. Tables were
overturned.
“We got him,” one of the men
said, kneeling beside the still body.
“He’s dead as a doornail.”
No one noticed the girl in white
satin. She stood grasping the ta
ble. Over one breast a dark red
stam was spreading. One of the
men saw her as she started to fall
and caught her in his arms. He
laid her carefully on the floor. Her
great blue eyes stared up at him.
She w*as gasping for breath.
“The $25,000!” she whispered
huskily. “It's mine . . . every cent
of it . . . Don’t let anybody else—”
She fell back unconscious.
The detective looked down at her,
his hand on her pulse. His face
was without expression.
“Yeah, it’s yours baby. The whole
twenty-five grand. It’ll buy you a
swell gold casket and all the trim
min's.”
Mining Town Rebuilt
As Social Experiment
Giving a town new life has been
a successful experiment at Bryn
mawr. South Wales. For some ten
years more than a third of the popu
lation of the town of about 10.000
inhabitants, normally engaged in
coal mining, ha<ye been virtually
without work. Into this valley some
tw s o years ago came the Society of
Friends, who were so moved by the
poverty prevailing there that they
set about devising ways of economic
and physical revival.
First, a study council was formed
in which more than 200 persons rep
resenting every section of local life
were enrolled. The council investi
gated health, education, finance,
occupation, etc. Various town im
provements w'ere effected and are
being extended, and the task of es
tablishing new industries was
tackled with vigor and courage.
Under the roof of an old factory
once commercially engaged in boot
making, there is being conducted to
day under the style of Brynmawr
and Clydach Valley Industries, Ltd.,
an unusual experiment in co-opera
tive manufacture of furniture,
woven wool fabrics; and hosiery.
To these there is attached a
scheme of poultry-keeping, for
which part of the factory is used
as offices and stores. The old boot
making plant was purchased at low
cost, and a small number of men
and girls produce about 300 pairs of
miners’ boots weekly at a profit. Or
ganized market gardening and allot
ment-holding are also in prospect.
Furniture making is at present
the most active side of the factory,
a number of youths having been
trained by an expert. School and
house furniture has been turned
out and sold in all parts of England
and Wales. Boys are engaged in
producing hard-wearing woolen
tweeds, taking the wool from the
sheep’s back to finished rolls of ma
terial working under an artist in
coloring and design. About 20 girls
are employed in machine-knitting of
socks worn by miners. It is now
virtually certain that all the enter
prises will be commercially success
ful.
It is not claimed, of course, that
the experiment has solved the dis
trict’s grave unemployment prob
lem, but it has put new life into
the town. There are social and edu
cational centers everywhere.
Sweet Lamb
If you find a leg of lamb that is
especially sweet and succulent, it
may have come from a member of
a flock that was finished out for
market on beet tops, says the Coun
try Home Magazine. According to
Wyoming live stock specialists, one
acre of good beets yields enough
tops to feed 1,000 lambs a day.
Great Smoky Mountains
The greatest mountain mass east
of South Dakota’s Black Hills are
the Great Smoky Mountains, with
several peaks more than 6,000 feet
high.
MICHIGAN KELL TELEPHONE
Wings for Cupid
Aviation recently extended a help
ing hand to a couple from Beverly
Hills, Calif., who were unwilling to
wait the required three days for
their wedding after filling marriage
intentions. They were married in
a plane three miles above the earth
by Captain Richard Bow’man, who
brought -down a sealed barograph
to prove that the necessary height
had been achieved. The couple said
that it was their intention to prove
that a marriage by an airplane cap
tain three miles above the earth
was as legal as one performed by
the captain of a boat at sea three
miles out.
Crossed Profits
Many farmers who have accepted
hybridization of corn now are apply
ing the same principle to the breed
ing of swine. Recent data from the
lowa experiment station on more
than 1.000 cross-bred hogs indicate
that they are more vigorous than
purebreds at birth and make faster
gains. The pigs reached a weight
of 225 pounds in 10 days to two
weeks less time than is usually re
quired to reach that weight, and on
25 to 30 pounds less feed.
Arctic Moonlight
The moon shines in the Arctic and
Antarctic regions for a part of the
time during the six-month “long
nights.” At the pole itself the moon
is above the horizon continuously
during one-half of each lunar
month, and below the horizon con
tinuously during the other half. In
the wintertime full moon occurs
when the |noon is above the horizon
and new moon when it is below.
World’s Largest in Ireland
Visitors to Ulster, or Northern Ire
land, report that it is quite Ameri
can in its boasts, for it claims to
have the world’s largest shipbuild
ing yard, largest linen mills, largest
tobacco factory and greatest rope
works; yet in spite of these indur
tries it possesses some of the most
charming rural scenes of Europe.
France’s Flying Nurses
According to Collier's, now
has a volunteer corps of approxi
mately 200 “flying nurses,” women
skilled in parachute jumping as well
as nursing, who are ready at a mo
ment’s notice to be flown and
dropped, with their medical kits, at
points where their services are ur
gently needed.
