Service By JOSEPH McCORD INSTALLMENT TEN THE STORY SO FAR: Larry Cutter startled pretty Jacqueline (Jack) Anthony, public stenographer at the Hotel Raynear, by telling her she could realize ambitions by marryher ing him. They were married after sign-globe-trottin- g Jacquelines relief was unspeakable, but already she was face to face with a problem that must be solved within a short time. What must she do when Vince left the hospital? She could not take him home with her to her little apartment, and he could not go back to that dreadful room in Elder street. He would need care for a long time perhaps. How could she manage that? . . . And there was all this expense. Dr. Kennedys bill. The cash from that bond presented only a temporary solution. It was merely a loan. And that reminded her . . . Vinces second week was up. She would settle that on her way out; that would be one less worry. It proved to be one more. The clerk at the cashiers window thumbed hastily through a file and extracted a card. This account was settled today, and an advance of one week paid on the room. This envelope was left with me when I came on duty. I believe it is your receipt. There were two pieces of paper One was a statement from the hospital, including the operation expense and a weeks additional rental for Vinces room. A rubber stamp indicated the account was paid. Dated today. The other appeared to be a leaf torn from a memorandum book, in the envelope. tag a contract providing that she may continue to live as she is living for six months, after which she could tear up the contract. He gave her $10,000 as surety. Jacqueline warned Larry when she learned that Detective Staples was watching him. She cashed one of the bonds when her father, Vince Anthony, needed an operation. When she visited him she was greatly relieved to learn the operation was successful. Now continue with the story. with four former windows set in its steeply pitched roof.

Jacqueline stuffed the receipts into her bag and left the building. Her first reaction was a hot resentment. Larry had no right to place her under obligation that way. Perhaps Larry meant only to be kind. But this hurt . . . she gave a little gasp of consternation. It hadnt occurred to her before.

And as for duds . . . sometimes, they go off unexpectedly. All this talk and the moonlight have put me in a reminiscent mood, Jack. Wont you let me show you a relic of my youth? Its not so far from here . . . not more than an hour. What is it you wish me to see? The birthplace of a hero. Yours, you mean? All right. Ill go . . . for the ride. When the city was left behind, Jacqueline said, Isnt the moonlight beautiful? Did you ever notice how to take the rough it seems to edges off everything? Hope that includes me, Larry ventured. You are rather nice at times, was his reward. Thanks. But I was going to tell you about our old place. Does some one hve in it now? No, worse luck, and it seems to be going to pieces. I always wished I might get it for myself and make it look the way it did when I was a kid. Guess I told you my dad lost all his money. Yes. He and your dad would have hit it off well, Larry observed unexThe old gentleman was pectedly. quite a scientist. The basement of our place was his laboratory and workshop and he almost lived in it.

When he died, there didnt seem so much left for mother. And . . . heres where we leave the main road, Larry observed, making a right turn. A few moments later, on the crest of a wooded knoll, he swerved the roadster into the weeds at the side of the thoroughfare and cut off the motor ... ... self-relia- nt g order to: MARY CARLISLE JS A deep silence followed. Jacqueline held her breath. The bushes rustled and the dim figure of a man appeared. After standing uncertainly for an instant, he strolled forward. He was a short, heavily set man wearing a sweater pulled up about his neck. That will do, Larry ordered Whats the big idea? brusquely. Just what I was goin to ask you, lng the entire cast and crew ice cream. The other day they began work with Jean Parker and Phil Terry in Torpedo Boat, at Paramount.

Its a pretty name. But I thought you didnt know the owners name. You asked the man who it was. Sure, I know. I was just seeing how much the gentleman would talk. Jacqueline laughed. Then they were silent. ' Larry, she said suddenly, I cant help wondering something. That man who owns your house . . . is he a friend of yours?" I wouldnt say that, exactly. Whats on your mind now? Something Lieutenant Staples said to me. I didnt tell you before, because you didnt ask. But he did say that there was someone . . . And then, when I saw the way that house was guarded . . . Fine! You do read mystery stories, after all. My Jacqueline subsided with a dis- tinct feeling of disappointment. Larry wasnt going to tell her anything, after all. But she was satisfied of several things now. The same man who was having Larry watched was the owner of that house. It was Larry whom he was trying to keep off the property, out of the home that had been his fathers.

Hello, Skipper! I am better. Feel fine. And I had a caller. A friend of yours. Who, Vince? Mr. Cutter. He was here almost two hours. Seemed to know you pretty well. Oh, yes . . .
