CHAPTER 62 “Dora! What t’hell!’ ~ Shorty Smith scowled at the newcomer and then Red Mike and Loule the Rat glowered as the newcomer strolled casually up to him. “Givin? me the slip, huh?” Red Mike did not allow Shorty to but grabbed Dora by the fow t' h did you get’ here?” he demanded. “In a taxi, she grinned. *Fol- lowed you.” Red Mike regarded her with min- gled suspicion and incredulity, Fol- lowed him! Why, she was a Har! He had driven 70 miles just to go 30. No ons could have followed his crooked trail. He smiled tolerantly, “Who tipped you off to where we were?” he asked cunningly: Doya Tinsled shrugged. just figured it out.” Louie the Rat, who had: been lis- tening tensely, while his eyes were elsewhere, suddeniy spoke: “What was that shot?” 4 “Oh, that was one of them beer runners’ guards firing at my taxi,” the woman responded nonchalantly, going again to Shorty’s side. Red Mike's wrath was fuming. “Damn you, if you" spilled us to the bulls. I'll wring your - neck, if it’s the last thing I. do in the world. Don’t you know that blankety-blank taxicab driver will go back to town and talk about gettin’ shot at out here? Then the——" “Oh, I Dora laughed. “HE won't. He does a regular business bringing out customers to. the beér-runners.” “Well, what you doin' out here anyway? What t' hell did you come for?” Mike asked savagely. “Cut the rough stuff!” She took Shorty's arm, and addressed herself to him. “Thought you were going to give me the slip and come out here with this queen, didn’t you?” Mike smiled at the thought of “this: qugen” even looking twice at Shorty's' ugly face. Dusk was fast settling over the woods, so that the men became shad- owy figures to each other. Dora Tinsled, chilly, cuddled close to Shorty Smith. Loule the Rat, log seat, suddenly asked: "bout the dough, Mike? comin’ across?” “Yes,” Shorty put in, surprised at himself for not asking sooner. Red Mike was ready with his re- ply. I've got h'm lined up, ready to plant the money. We got to figger out how we're goin’ to get It. . Thoy bent heads together over the problem. A. little after 8 o'clock that eve- ning, Amoura leaped up silently like a startled doe ready to fight or run away, at the sound of the open- ing door. Her heart leaped with joy as she was able to discern in the darkness that it was the youthful stranger of the afternoon. But ‘her heart sank, and a little shiver ran through her body as he closed and relocked the door and tiptoed to- ward her, signaling silenca.with a finger to his “Ips. “What's the matter? Why can't we flee now? A score of other qués- tions popped into her mind, but she forebore asking any of them, watch- ing him silently. “It's too early,” he said, as if ans- wering one of those unasked queries. “The gang {s scattered alb over the woods, and the beer-trucks are get+ brooding over a “Whatta Is the guy ting thelr’ nightly load of stuff.

She quickly Inducéd the stranger to get under the bed. There Was an arguméft outside the door of ber prison before it was opened, but she could not hear distinctly. what was said. When the portal did al- low the yellow, flickering Nght of an oll lamp held high to flood the room, Mike entered, followed by Shorty Smith, and behind them both, Dora Tinsled. Dora sloshed down before the pris. oner a greasy plate filled with var- fous vegetales, on top of which there was a half of loaf of bread. To accompany this there was a tin cup of vile coffee. As previously, Amoura gagged at the sight of the mess. A “Hunger-strikin’, are. yer?" Red Mike said, abusively. “Come on. pretty one, and eat yer tootsie woot-, sie supper. Yer can-eat. all right." For answer,’ Amoura shrank=back to her couch again., Red Mike start- 1 toward her. Dora gtabbed him: “Stop! You aln’t gonna hurt: her!" Mike hurled her aside. “Keep yer trap closed."’ CHAPTER 63.

She winted, then gave a shrill ttle cry as his fingers pressed tight in a vise-like grip. Dora Tinsled caught his free arm. “Don't, Mike, don’t you see you're hurtin’ her.” “No, I ain't hurtin’ her.

He jas in a mood to shoot his partner and that moll of his. The pair watched. him uneasily as he stood there, Amoura’s arm still in his hand, his eyes wan- dering from the kidnaped girl to them. Back in his head there was an idea. It) slowly formed itsélf and burst upon his consciousness. Why release the girl) when he; got the money? Why not grab the $100,000, leave his partners‘and that damnea Jim “McConrey in the co'd, and carry off this girl? She was pretty. . . + His eyes roved from her head to her feet as she stood, tense with fear, too excited to faint. The idea fully developed in his mind now, ‘he released her arm, and turned to Shorty and Dora. “Come'n. Lét's leave her alone.” He said it as if It were an appeal of his own. The door closed behind them, and Amoura, unable to endure any more, slumped to the floor exhausted, The stranger pushed» himself out from under the bed and bent over her. After listening at the door for a moment, he doused her head with water from a dirty water pitcher, and rubbed her hands vigorous'y. her alone, Mike,’ .
