The sunlight was streaming into her room. Mechanically she raised her hand to her head. Her head was bandaged. ‘There was pain there, but it was not very severe. She was con- scious of a sense of weakness, but she did not feel ill. Where was she? She remembered last night. She remembered being wounded and losing conscicusness; and she had a hazy recollection of periods of semi- consciousness during which she had been lifted out of the car and carried somewhere, and of some woman who had put her to bed, dressed her head and given her something to drink. A glance at her wrist watch told her it was 3 o'clock. This unfamiliar room bothered her. It was a very nice room, richly furnished. It was certainly not a police cell! Therefore the car must have escaped the police. L. PACKARD -~ and others she had surmised, What she had not known was 'the a math of the gangsters' escape. Giving up the chase when forced to thé curb by bullet punctured tires, the police had returned to the Morgan home and searched the place, confident that it was no or- dinary crime that had been foiled. Mrs. Morgan had been abusive but uncommunicative. The police, how- | ever, were persistent. | As a result they had found thé proceeds of the Maiden Lane jewe! rcbbery of the night before in the and now were looking for Twisty Morgan The paper fluttered from Enid hands. She strove to think col ently. Who had placed that newspaper so obviously on the bedside table? And why? Who lived in this house? The Big Shot—Roy—must have | brought her here. ~What connec- | tion was there between him and| the occupants of the house? And— Where was and where was—Roy. anyone? She looked around. 5 hung from the head of her bed. A queer liftle smile crossed her lip as she rang the bell. Wherever she was, the establishment see: to lack nothing in the way of com- | fort and convenience! | Perhaps a minute passed, and then, answering her summons there was a knock, and the door opened. As she stared at the figure s ing there, leaning nonchalanily | with his back to the door which he! had closed behind him, she felt| the blood drain from her cheeks. | She was sure now that it was| Roy. Last night she had seen his face; she had recogn! only what she thought were tain mannerisms in his walk carriage; but now she was pr pared to swear that she reco nized his every feature—that 1t was the same clean-cut, handsome i tand- ar i THE DAIl POLLY AND H ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, FEB. 13, 1930.

Had anybody else been wounded besides herself? Someone, perhaps, killed? _ At the thought of this possibility she twisted her hands nervously, anxiously together. The Big Shot —Roy—was he safe? Where was she now? Her glance fell suddenly on a newspaper that lay on the bedsid2 table. For an instant she stared ab it, then reached out and snatch- ed it up. Fhe captions that had caught her eye were set in big type at the head of two columns of text: JEWEL HIJACKERS FOILED; GIRL BANDIT SAVES GANG Bnid read on. The “story” de- tailed the suspicions of Patrolman ey on seeing three men at two o'clock in the morning enter the house where the mother of TPwisty Morgan, a notorious under- world character, lived. He had crossed the road to investigate— and found the door had been un- locked, presumably with a skeleton key. “A been cut in brass chain on the door had two by some instru- ment introduced through the inch or two-inch opening which the chain, when intact, had permitted. Enid understood that! That was Skinny's work—with the door tools that Izzy Myers had told him to take along. The next paragraph brought a low, startled ejaculation from her lips. The gang's “lookout” had been a girl—that was all that gaved them. The girl bandit had Been posted on watch somewhere outside, so the paper said.
