She'd be wanting supplies, before heading north. For the North was empty of much that was needed there. His present mission was evi-dence enough of that. It involved, he remembered, a wedding ring for a love-lor- n mine-work- at El Do-rado, a mine-work- impatient to travel in double-harnes- s with a Swede waitress who an-swered to the name of Atlin Olga. about that. It tied up, he recalled, with the hazy story of the Flying Padre's abrupt migration from once-opule- city practice to the out-posts of the Mackenzie Basin. Law-rence Morlock, he remembered, had his reasons for hating drunkenness. For as Slade was able to piece the story together, Lynn's father had been one of New York's most suc-cessful surgeons. He had flown high and flown fast until the tragic death of his wife brought him up short The enemy he was fighting on a d front line dropped like a parachutist in his own home. Be-wildered and stunned, but refusing to give ground, he had sought relief in over-wor- k and alcohol. But one night when called from a night club for an emergency operation his hand had failed him and his patient a pillar of Wall Street had died on the table. That death, the surgeon always felt was due to his own drunkenness. It rang the curtain down on all his earlier feverish scramble for wealth. He cabled his daughter Lynn, then in Switzer-land, that he was giving up his prac-tice and selling his city home. He del tciouj, apparently, for to handle.

I t he'd' weaken it she For five years now, Slade also remembered, he had been an un-attached shopping agent for the ex-iles along the new frontier. He had taken in Christmas turkeys and ra-dio sets, dancing slippers and to-bacco, compasses and clock-key- s. He had swapped their beaver and muskrat pelts for layettes and cotton-- flannel, and exchanged white foxskins for baby food and safety pins. He had matched yarn and learned how to spot service-weig-silk stockings and select slips of the right tea-ros- e tint. He had sleuthed out needed machine parts and bought cough medicine and kidney pills. So the purchase of a wedding ring, and even a wedding ring of the and diameter designated by the impatient groom, seemed merely an incident in the day's work. He laughed a little as he in-spected the big ring in its velvet box. His smile faded as he looked at his watch. His plane, he remem-bered, was awaiting his attention. He turned and looked about for Cas-sie'- s taxi. He was still diffidently searching the dusty street ends when he heard his name called. "Alan!" It quickened his pulse. For he knew that calling voice belonged to Lynn Morlock, even before he caught sight of her between the loungers fringing the shop fronts. She was, he saw, almost running along the none too even sidewalk. Her hair, close-clippe- d and boy-lik- e, shone mahogany-brow- n in the sun-light and she carried her familiar first-ai- d bag. There was neither alarm nor excitement on her face. But there was resolution in her stride. "Alan, come with me, quick," she called over her shoulder, without slackening her pace. "Whafs happened?" Alan asked quietly dropped out of his old life and, a year later, reappeared as a relief-work- when a flu epidemic was decimating the northern camps of Canada. His field broadened as he learned the need for medical service along the outer fringes of the New Frontier, and he equipped himself with a plane which was used in many a mercy flight. His daughter Lynn was proving herself a chip of the old block. For when she realized her father was somberly happy in that work and definitely committed to what she accepted as a life of expiation, she quietly went in training as a nurse, equipped herself as a with the Padre, and Joined him In his silent yet stoic campaign of re-demption. She had stuck to him with a tender loyalty. "If this is going to be a murder case," he contended, "why not noti-fy the police?" "It mustn't be murder," cried Lynn. To the man following her she looked reassuringly fearless in the slanting northern sunlight They must have been waiting for her in the Blue Goose. The door opened, expectantly, even before she reached it. "Where is he?" the girl asked of the pock-marke- d man in his shirt sleeves. He closed and locked the door before answering. "In here," he said with a side glance of hostility as Slade pushed in after the girl. The sound of a phonograph blaring out dance music In some outer room suddenly came to a stop. A bold-eye- d woman, heav-ily rouged, backed away at the per-emptory hand wave of the proprie-tor, who opened a second door and pointed inside, without advancing. His first impression of the room, as he entered, was one of blood.

"There's been a fight," she said, between breaths. "There's a man bleeding to death. At least that's the word they sent." "Where is he?" asked Slade. They turned up a side street, where the idlers, both Indian and white, could no longer gape after them. "At the Blue Goose," was Lynn s answer. "It sounds like a severed artery." Slade knew enough of frontier-tow- n gambling joints and gin mills disguised as dance halls to realize what they might have to face. "That's no place for a girl, he contended.

Slade remembered something half-'yin- g and along a stained wicker couch splashed with red.

TO BE COXTISVED) Sargasso Sea j The Sargasso sea, a part of the North Atlantic which covers an area as large as that of the con-- tinental United States, is unique in that it is relatively motionless and that it far exceeds in size any other water or land area in the world devoted exclusively to the growth of a single species of plant, which is a floating seaweed, says Collier's. Incidentally, this weed is also unique because it grows at the tips as it dies at the base. By VIRGINIA VALE Released by Western Newspaper Union. THE Bennetts of Broadway Hollywood Richard and his daughters, Constance, Joan and Barbara have never appeared together on either stage or screen. But thanks to Joan's sense of hu-mor they'll do it vicariously in Columbia's "The Wife Takes a Flyer." An old family picture album figures prominently in the script. With the consent of the director, Richard Wallace, Joan filled it with the oldest and funniest photographs of her father and sisters that she could find and the glamorous Ben-netts will appear as a group of sturdy Dutch country folk. Joan's the only one to appear personally; she with Franchot Tone. Edmund O'Brien has left RKO Ra-dio, where he's been for the last two years.

He recently gave It to the Queen Wilhelmina Fund for Dutch war relief. Appropriate, as he's a descendant of a family that emi-grated from Holland In 1658. In broadcast parlance, a shot in the arm is any new situation de-vised by a script writer to put new life into a serial. "Valiant Lady" got one recently, but it happened also to be a shot in the heart; Joan Blaine, widowed one week, met a young millionaire the next! Dorothy Lamour is going back to 1900 when she begins work in "Gal-veston," a spectacular production which will have its climax in the Galveston flood. Two of her films, "Beyond the Blue Horizon" and "Road to Morocco," with Hope and Crosby, await release. Success story: Five years ago writer - director - producer Charles Martin paid Martha Scott $20 for playing a small role on one of his "Five Star Final" programs. Later, he gave her more opportunity and more pay. She made good on the stage and on the screen and when she appeared recently on the CBS Playhouse In his version of "Bache-lor Mother" her check was for $2,000.
