"Go ahead, answer it, Lieutenant. If it's for me, it must be from some- pne who knows what took place here tonight. Go on," he urged. And O'Day, still greatly puzzled, did as he was told. "Hello," he called into the telephone trying to disguise his voice. "This is Rand talking. Who's speaking?" Then, while he stood there with the receiver clapped to his ear, listening, Jimmy saw his face slowly color until ft turned nearly purple. O'Day look- ed like an infuriated bull, but he some- how managed to keep himself under eontrol. He uttered a monosyllable into the mouthpiece. "Yeah." Then, "Say, who is this? Who the----" He turned to Jimmy, the phone still | clutched in his two hands, his face! still red with rage. "Well, I'll be damned," he roared. "Of all the why--" he groped helplessly for words that would do his feelings justice. "Who was it?" Jimmy asked. "1 don't know, damn 'em. bung up on me." "Well, what did they say--whoever | They it was?" Excitement had laid its hand | on him. He was trembling with it. "Here's what they said," answered O'Day, regaining some of his compo- sude. "It was a man's voice. He said, 'Hello, this you, Rand? "I said, 'Yes, this is Rand,' and he said, 'All right, this is absolutely the Jast warning. The girl's out of the way.

Not a chance in a hundred of gettin' anywhere, 1 guess, but I'm not goin' to be kicking myself later for overlooking a bet." Jimmy said, after O'Day had finish- ed talking to the operator, "You still think--after that phone call--that of yours, that Olga might have fram- ed this?" O'Day hesitated a moment before answering. "Lord, Rand, I'd forgot- ten about it for the time being." He frowned. "Still, if the whole thing was a stall, there'd be nothing to prevent her having this guy call you and try to throw a scare into you In fact, Olga would be the only one to know you were here at this time, un- less Jensen--if he really did follow her here--heard her mention your name while she was takin' to you." He said, rather mysteriously, Jim- my thought: "I've got pretty good reasons for thinking the way I do, Rand. I'll tell you about them later. 1 just want to do some checkin' " "All right, go right ahead. My own private opinion is that Jensen kid- napped the girl because he wanted to find out what the police were after him for. He wants to know how much she's told about him.

He produced a cigar and savagely ! bit off a large hunk of it and started | chewing it.

SEARCH FOR HIM AS KIDNAPPER And then some onterprising city up the story that Jimmy had come to town for the express purpose of run- ning down his father's murderer. There was a new sensation then. The papers sensed that Jensan was somehow involved, and allusions were made to the fact in their columns, al- though they were somewhat guarded allusions, due to the fact that the most the police would do was hint. O'Day made public the telephone call for Jimmy which he had taken in Olga's apartment, and told about the several mysterious warnings Jin.- myhad received, As he explained to Jimmy when the latter wrathfully demanded why, "It will protect you, my boy." "How do you figure that?" "Why, it stands to reason that with all this publicity they're giving to those threats the man behind them isn't going to take any chances hy trying to carry them out." "But can't you see we're spoiling our chances of ever catching Jensen? He'll sneak out of town now, sure." "Maybe. Still, we didn't get any- where by keeping our mouths shut. Besides, the first job we have is to find Olga Maynard." O'Day hinted vaguely that he was thinking of "letting something el:e out to the papers," but when Jimmy asked what it was he refused to he drawn out. The lelephones at police headquar- ters and in the newspaper offices were kept busy answering calls from anx- ious persons who insisted they had seen Olga Maynard or Ike Jensen. These were run down and, as is usual in such cases, they led nowhere. Jimmy encountered Sam Church on the street one day and faneied that he looked preoccupied and not a little worried. He thought: "If you've any con- science at all, the things you've dore to Olga Maynard must make you worry. This could never have hap- pened if it hadn't been for you." He clenched his fists, thought wild- ly, for « moment, of assaulting Church on the spot, but sauntered on. . . . When he got home he was sorry he hadn't punched Church's head for him. Then he tought: "In a sensa I'm to blame myself for whatever may have happened to her. If I'd followed O'Day's advice, she would at least be safe. The more he thought about her the more aghast he was at her probable fate.

Why Height Makes Some People Giddy An explanation of why so many people get giddy when they stand on hgh towers or at the edges of moun- tain precipices is supplied by Max Baker, of Clacton-on-Sea, England, in| continuation of a correspondence which has been going on in the col- umns of the London Times. The dif- ficulty, Mr. Baker argues, is not due once; on the distant landscape below and on the edge of the shelf or ledge on which one is standing. happens when the eyes fail to con- verge properly for any other reason, for example in some kinds of poison- ing which also produce giddiness, A curious fact pointed out by many ob- servers and which is explained by Mr. Baker's theory is that few people are giddy when looking down from an air- plane, although they may be higher than on any precipice and with far less support. This is due, Mr. Baker believes, to the fact that there is noth- ing to see but the ground far below. The eyes focus on the ground and are not disturbed. When one can see, in addition, the wall of the tower on which one stands or the steep down- ward slope of the mountain below one's feet, eye confusion happens and 'giddiness may be caused. The eyes must make a decision between two focus on the edge at the observer's feet, in which case the landscape be- low is out of focus and becomes night- marelike. On the other hand, the ey'; may focus on the landscape be- low, in which case the ledge at one's feet and the downward wall of tower or mountain is seen twice, once with each eye; as happens when one "sees double" as a result of eye disease or marry a man that plays poker, but in- orders, he would gladly do it. of the house with our prisoners-- but as we came near the plane, shadowy, about, ground toward the plane. ness covered us, dreamed we were The Chinese whispered among them- selves in subdued tones. interpreter. brakee whirlee stick." propeller, brakee wing." ing around in the dark, I found a big rock about half the size of a man's head. { This pro-| | duces the same kind of confusion that 'What came before: Landing his plane near the Chinese war zone, Captain J my takes three :nemy prisoners away from their cruel captors.

Berlin--A considerably improved model of the rocket motor which was shown for the first time a year ago was demonstrated by the inventor, Dr. Paul Heylandt, in a suburb of Berlin. The motor, weighing about sixteen pounds, developed a push of more than 400 pounds. It consists of a two- foot-long pipe in which liquid oxygen and an alcoholic liquid are forced through a screen and ignited by an ordinary spark plug. It can keep run- ning for twelve minutes, which is said to be sufficient to reach any point in Europe through the air. Last year's model developed a re- coil of about 220 pounds.

Ba TI: Smokeless Skies 'for Town-Dwellers Rubbish Bonfire Supplies Heal For Hun of Homes "One of the most extraordinary do mestic innovations of modern times ig being made in the Canadian ety of Winnipeg," declares a writer in (Lon: don) Tit-Bits. This is the provision of a municipal central heating station to warm the houses of citizens. The plan has been tried out in a small way during the past six years, and has been so great a success that a huge extension of the scheme is now under way. The difficulties were enormous, The essence of the plan is that in some convenient place, either in the town or just outside it, a heating plant capable of supplying large amounts of hot steam is erected. The steam is led through carefully - insulated under- ground pipes to homes served by the system Engineers have now found means of keeping steam hot though it has to pass through immense lengths of piping. In the homes served by. the central plant are the usual radiators, which -.arm not only the living-rooms but al- 50 the halls and passages, thus maine taining a genial temperature throughs out the house. A Tremendous Saving The radiators are self-regulating. Ea.h part of the house is equipped with a thermostat control which auto- matically keeps the temperature at any desired level. One kind of ther- mostat will be familiar to readers who posses: up-to-date motorcars. When the engine is cold the thermostat closes shutters over the radiator so that all possible heat is kept in." As the temperature rises the shutters are opened more widely as may be re- quired. The household thermostat control is set to the temperature the owner wants to maintain in the place where it is installed, It regulates the supply of steam to the radiators, increasing it if the air becomes too cold and de~ creasing it as the temperature rises. Hitherto about two hundred build- ings have been served in Winnipeg, but recently an expenditure of §$500,- 000 has been sanctioned for a bigger plant to serve a much larger number. So successful has the system been that ing a further $1,000,000 to extend it to the suburbs. i g of from three to eight shillings in the pound in fuel bills, These great plants can burn inferior coal, and it is possible that a good deal of rubbish which is now wasted can be used to | generate heat by being burned in spe- cial incinerating furnaces under great boilers. Wireless on Tap Then the adoption of such a scheme means an immediate decrease in the smoke nuisance. Where every house ha several chimneys the atmosphere is clways smoky, and smoke means dirt, injury to health, and often the rapid deterioration of buildings. Thou- sands of chimneys can be replaced by the single one of the central plant, ar' by the use of modern scientific m>thods the furnaces cai. be made to con:ume their own smoke. Winnipeg is 'howing the way for a development which must in time come in at the cities of the world. We have already centralized the supply of a good many of our household require- ments.

The lesson is that great wealth is rarely of use to a man unless he acquires it himself. Then he knows its uses and its limitations. A man who has built up a fortune by his own efforts rarely squanders it, for his interest is in the work which creates the wealth and not in the spending of the money. Those who sit down and dream of a big legacy or a fat sweepstakes prize would be far better and more happily employed in making their own fortune.
