his gang. All his threats won’t make us give up the fight we've started. We re in it to the last ditch. I had hopes that you'd help me along, but gee, if that’s the way you feel about it...” Linda reacl.ed across the table and grasped his hand warmly. “I’m going to help you,” she said quick ly. “You can—you can count on me.” He smiled at her grimly. “Thanks,” he said. “And now come on, we’d better beat it before something gets started,” Linda said. “Stick close to me; the Ace won’t have the nerve to thoot.” Fred paid his bill and with Linda dinging to his arm, edged through the crowd and to the door. “Watch your step,” Linda warned. “They’re laying for you tonight.” “I’m all right,” Fred said. They advanced cautiously through the dark, narrow hallway which led to the street. Fred’s fingers bit into her arm; he was nervous. The Ace had said he was on the spot. When would hings begin to happen? The answer to this question came Just a moment later, in brief, irre futable form. Fred’s fingers were on the knob of the door and Linda had stood aside for him to open it when, with all the suddenness of a clap of thunder, a fusillade of shots rang out from the blackness of the corridor through which they had ju:t passed. An instant later, Fred fell, twisting, writhing in pain, to the floor, a low moan escaping his lips. Linda ran to him. With all her strength, she dragged him up, helped him back to his feet. With his arm about her shoulders, he managed to stagger through the door, across the narrow side walk, and into a cab. “Harlem hos pital,” Linda ordered, “and make it snappy.” Horn screeching all the way, they cut a clean swath through the traffic of Seventh Avenue and ar rived at the hospital five minutes later. -, Linda supported Fred's slumped body as best she could during his harrowing ride. Was he badly hurt? she wondered. Had they— had they killed him? • • * Will Fred live? Next week's breath-taking installment is the best yet. Don't miss it.

It’s a PROMISE to you ... a PROMISE that the makers of Genuine Black and White Complexion Powder KNOW that they can MAKE GOOD.

Depend on him. He is a cheerful scout. Trotting his weary route. Every day in and out. With pride and vim. Of all great men you name, That rank with social fame. The postman leads. He brings cheer and gladness. Sometimes grief or sadness. And reasons for madness, All are great needs. He goes with courage rare. To his task wyith care, v In storm and rain. With sore and tired feet. Out in the snow and sleet, It’s just the same. Exhausting summer heat, May the people exalt. His fame without a fault. And praise restored. May pleasant be his home With pride and honor foam, For he deserves this poem, For a reward. —MICHAEL BLUHM. -o Just Right Larkes—Do you sit in the balcony when you go to the opera?
