A noise reached Nilwan, the toiies of two rough voices just behind her resting place. Since her experience with the bootlegger she had been cau- tious and more or less suspicious, wondtering if a still were hidden near. She listened. One man said in a guttural tone, "He's at the old lodge near .Uol- stoin's Creek. We can let the gang know and get him to-night" "And what he'll get when we do lay our hands on him! We'll show him that he can't pull a gag like that on us," the other snarled. Nilwan rose silently, parted the leaves and peered through. Two men, burly and vicious looking, stood close together. "When I get through with him, he won't report me again. Carter Mason had better not fool with Jim Styles if he wants to play safe. You tell the boys to meet in the woods in front of the cabin, at nine. We'll make things hot for him." Nilwan shuddered. Carterâ€" they were going to get Garter â€" to hurt Carter. Her sense of gratitude drowned her doubts. He had saved her once â€" ^her turn now! What if he loved Janet? That was his business â€" hers now to do what sha could for him. She waited until the sound of the horsts' hoofs had died away then turn- ed and sped across the field. Twilight was deepening. She knew where Bolston's Creek was and the cabin used as a fishing lodge by some city iii-cn. It was threo miles away. She did not follow the road but cut across fields. Minutes were precious. The going was hard, over stubble fields and plowed ground. When she came to the creek, she srtopped short and stared. Her eyes were not deceiving her â€" the bridgje was down and Carter was on the other side ! Dropping weakly to the ground she looked with frightened eyes at the swirling water. Running water was the one thing that she feared. She had learned to swim because her fa- ther had insisted upon it but she had never ma.?t6red her fears. She swal- lowed chokingly then bent and unlaced her shoes, kicked them off and slid down the bank to tho water's edge. Once F,he ga.sped, then plunged in, the watsr reaching for her greedily. She went under and it seemed that all the water in the world was press- ing licr down relentlessly. The rush of the flood carried her down the .stream; debris struck against her; she recognized her ptril and felt a weak j desire to give up the struggle. Then; her heart cried out and love put I strength into her flagging muscles. '< (.ia-sping, all but broken, she finally i dragged herself to the bunk and lay' flat on her back while al)ove her the i evening .star smiled. Wearily shei raised her bruised body, forcing it by I sheer will power to go on. The knowl- ! edge that she had not tnuch time spur- 1 red her. Shs could re.st when she had | warned Carter. Stones brui.sed her feet, briars tore at her but she stumbled on. With a j sob of relief she saw a light shining in the lodge. She .=inielt the fragrance of a cigar and with a frantic burst of ' speed ran up the trail and tottered I into the house calling weakly "Car- Iter!" I The houise was empty. With a cry I the weary girl drooped and settled to I the floor. He was not there! The j »nen would get him ; perhaps they had already c.nie. I A step jounded on the porch and i Carter stood framed against the outer darkness. He stared at the figure be- fore him, white face upturned to his startled gaze and crossed the room with a stride to kneel l>e8ide her. "Nilwan! What has happened?" He raised her head and held it against him, his other hand pushinig the wet hair from her face; the closed eyelids fluttered and ahc stared up into his anxious face. Recognition leaped into her eyes then and she cried out huskily, "Carter â€" the men] They're coming up to kill you. I heard them-â€" at nine â€" plotting ... I swam . . . ." Gone was the boyishness; he was a man, stern and capable. "You brave little woman!" he said, his voice husky with feeling. She smiled faintly aa he carried her to a couch, brought blankets and cared for her. Then everything went black. She dreamed and struggled back through the fog of semi-consciousnesB, tried to move, groaned with pain, then remembered and stumbled to her feet. The house was utterly still. "Carter â€" oh. Carter!" she called. No answer. She staggered to the porch. Through the starlit night she could dimly see the outlines of a group of dark figureh, They had taken Car- ter! To her mind's eye leaped pictures of mobs. Were they going to hang him to one of the trees? What â€" what would they dv> to him? All the an»w» that came back to her was the jinap of twigs under heavy feet and the cry of a bird. She slipped from the steps and fol- lowed them; tried to cry out and found that she had no voice. The arrc^up halted; she could aee a flgunt in the middle, white-stair(«diâ€" 1 OmCIAL REPORT ON THE FRENCH CURRENCY French Expert Describes End- ing of Inflation and Relations [ With the Bank. i In bis reoen* speech to the French .

The transmission took place betweem 8 and 8.45 a.m., and wn« made pos- sible from the Toronto end with a 5- watt tube which had seen much ser- vice. The power input at the time of the transmission was less than 20 watts. The Toronto signals were reported in Adeileide, Australia, as quite clear and eaetly readable. At the Toronto station A-2RX came through on a wave length of 32.5 meters.
