IG SHOT SYNOPSIS: A coded message t9 the Bjg Shot provides Enid Tioyard with a warning of an- other or'me . planned by the man. she- believes is her broth- er. Despite a premonition of di- sgstor—it is the third night pinge she embarked upon her hazardous adventure in the un- detwe: 19—Enid determines to save the Big Shot from a fwr- ther bict on his record. Wearing the garb of an old woman Enid seeks the residence of P. J. Murkman, gains entrance to the hous> throngh a window and finds the wall safe cleverly hid- den behind rows of hooks. She is working the combination when the sound of a squeaking choe warns her she is discov- cred. There is someone behind the portieres! By a ruse she coeapes from the room but nar- | rowly averts capture. She reach- es her apartment in safety with- cut the jewels and money. | Chapter 32 | RETROSPECT in Martha was striking 10 as Enid reached the house, and, running up the stairs entered her old nurse's bedroom and hurriedly began to change back into her own clothes. | Ten o'clock! It must have been nearly nine at least when she had started out for the Murkman man- tlon. She had been gone then, not much more than an hour 2t most—but, even 80, if it had been Roy who had been concealed be- hind those portieres, he might be back at any moment now. He had géaid he was coming back for her, hadn't he? Yes, but suppose he had been trapped in that room— that she had trapped him? The alarm had been raisad. Suppose that he had been caught there? 8he cried out a Jittle—sharply— as ghe tore off her clothes. Her thoughts would not let her alone From the moment she had got into the taxi her thoughts had drivon her neerly frantic. They were! driving her frantic- again now. | No, he wouldfi't have heen caught -«not Roy! It .would have taken more than a locked door to do that.| 1t it had been Roy who had been, there he was too clever—she swal-| lowed hard-—too criminally clever| to be caught as easily as that! . But why should she think it was| Roy at all? She had not seen hin| any more than he had seen her. | Why was she 80 convinced that the | man behind the portierés had been Roy? It was logically ROy. But it might have been someone else. Yes—she was putting on her own clothes how—it might havel been; but why worty about thdt? Whether it was Roy or some oth- er thief, 1t had turned out better than she had thotght it possible when she had run from the room. True, she had had a narrow es- cape herself; but, due to the very fdct that she had been seen and an alarm had been raised, she had, after all, saved the contents of M. Murkman's safe. The library window, shé knew. was on the side of the House facing the apartment, and whoever had Peen there in the library could not have helped but hear the shouting. Fortunately, as it turned out, she Had not got the safe open; and whoeyer was there, Roy ot another, would be too much concerped with his ownescape then, and in getting the door of the room rather than that of any safe open! She was dressed now, and was) serubbing the grime from her face and hands. Her hat! Yes, that had been serious—almost the most seri- ous thing of all . Not the hat itself,—the police %ould be a long *time in tracing Martha Dobbins' old hat! But the fugitive was certain to be known as 4 woman without a hat. Those in the windows of the apartment hotise who had seen her running 6ut of the areaway would know thit and report it. The taxi driver would probably téll the police about Rer if he learned they were looking for her. o " But now, fOr the first time 2 n:&u smile crossed Enid’s lips. Bhe falf quite sure she would never be traced through any information the taxi driver could give. She had alighted in front of & house on the next strect, and had nonchalantly—at least she hoped she had given the jmpression of being nonchalant gbout it—mounted the steps and had pretended to ring the bell. The taxi had driven away—and she had @secended the steps. After that, by fheans of a vacant lot she had, Without being obliged to show her- self on either of the avenues, gained Her own street and house. She did Aot think that she had been seen one.
