A lone woman was ail but! ruaning down Fic~y-Seventh Street pausing now and then to catch her breath, and to look nervously over. her shoulder. She wished for the hundredth t:me, that she had told Torok about her being followed each evening after leaving work, by a short, stocky man whose face was already hidden by a floppy hat. At first she thought it was some flirt but when he didn~t try to catch up with her, or say anything she began to grow uneasy. He had always kept a block or two two nights, he had _ lessened the distance between them. Tonight he was nowhere to be seen. This made: her nervous. Why on earth did anyone want to follow her, she wondered. Could it be because of her employer, Mr. Anthony Torek? He had plenty enemies because of his great ability as a detective. He had solved a great many cases and had been called on so many times during the war to help the government hunt down murderers, racketeers, and enemy agents. This was the firs: time since she had begun to work for him four years before that her safety had been threatened. Bertha Brooks was ~so deep in thought, she had failed to see the long black sedan pu!! noiselessly up to her. Two men emerged, leaving a third at the wheel. Coming up be hind her, one lashed out a gun, and brought it hard against Bertha~s skull. ~ She collapsed without a sound into the arms of the other. The ringing of the phone roused Torok from a = much needed slumber. He rubbed the numbness frpm his hands before picking up the receiver and voicing ~~hello~~ into the iransmitter, he heard, ~Say. man~you gonna keep my wife all night? I. gotta eat sometime vou know.~ Chuck said this trying not to sound angr#: ~Listen, chum~if }} could, | would.~~ Torek: an swered sleepily. pausing to yawn. ~I've been sleeping a long time. -Bertha left here at 6:15 and it~s after 10 now. Maybe she went to a movie or something.~ ~She didn~t call to say she was going. any-'! | heur he called Chuck's apart ~ped off somewhere, she would Angier Fish The angler fisk car swallow fisi sigger than itself because of its ~elastic~~ stomach. This remarkable fish gets its name from a long movable thread projecting from its head which it uses as a lure to attract its prey. The angler fish is able to walk along the bottom of the sea on spe cially formed fins Chinyse Enterprise The scientific ingenuity, patience and shill of the Chinese were re vealed anew on a recent jovernment mission to the Orient. In 4 visit to a Chinese city famous the fast 2,000 years. for brine wells, Chinese were seen drilling deep wells:or brine and natural gas. Tne interesting aspect is that they have penetrated to depths of 3,500 to 4,000 feet without any metal equipment.except the cutting edge of a drill. They are using and. have used, for hundreds of years, drilling methods developed independently in America. where, Chuck said, sounding a bit puzzled. ~Does she te;l you eviery move she makes, my charming friend?~~ Mockery was plain in Torok~s tone. ~If you must know~yes, she does.~ Chuck banged the receiver down hard, intent on hurting Torok~s ear. Arthony had teased Chuck; to hide the concern he felt.; Bertha had never stopped off anyplace without first going home. Both he and Chuck had insisted she ride the street car because of the lonely route be-. tween the office and the apartment, but she had said _ the~ walk was what she needed to keep her figure trim after sitting all day in an office chaivr. The ever-increasing crime wave throughout the city made walking along deserted streets very, very dangerous for a young attractive woman. Anthony's dark, ionglashed eyes were worried and after waiting aa ment. ~Has the little one come in yet?~ ~No, Anthony, and I'm pretty worried, if she stop have called me before now~ yeu know she would,~ Chuck said hoarsely. ~Sit tight and dont get excited, I'll be right over in a minute. We'll find her.~ ~ Torok grabbed for his hat and ran for the stairs. He tried io tell himself that Bertha was all right, but he had:an eerie clin hat she was in trouble. As he burst through thé door of the Brooks apartment, the phone rang. Chuck snatched it up, ~face hopeful. ~Bertha, is that you? what Chuck's -face had paled and the receiver dropped from his hands. ~Chuck, what is _ it, | man? Was that Bertha? An-| swer me.~ Torok shook him roughly. ~~It was her ~ she was moaning, Anthony, - said she was dying~"~ His voice faded and he sank to the floor in a dead faint.,(To Be Continued ) OFFICE PHONE 9.2724 PPPLPODS For Prompt, Efficient Quality Meats 3500 ST.
