Fearful that the Big Shct will return, she urges Phil to go, but he refusos, E beors the Big Shot ar : Teorrificd she shoves Phil into an adjoining room. Roy bursts into the room cursing the wo- man who has again crossed his path and promising to kill her when he finds her. Then he sees the tell-tale hat. He picks it up, then locks the door before facing Enid. Chapter 35 FACE TO FACE A ghastly smile covered the Big Shot's face as He advanced and stood in front of Enid. “So it's you, little sweetheart— or is it my sweet little sister!” There was a jeer ereeping through the deadly menace in his voice. “Bo Ma Kane was right, and you played me for a sucker! And| it's { s0, you! “Did you hear me say a few min- utes ago that I'd kill the woman with my two hands if I found he: Is that what is making yon look white? Well, I've found her, and I always keep my promise—but there's no hurry about it.” He clapped the hat . suddenly upon her head. “How well it be- comes you! You look so sweet in it T'd like to see you with the rest’ of your finery on!

Come on”~he moved to- ward the bedroom door—"you'l dréss up for me, won't you?”" Ab he started for the bedroom dodr her stunned senses were sud- denly revived and she sprang in front of him, barring the way. “No, no!” she cried out sharply “It’s not in there! There's mothing in there!” He swung the flat of his hand with a resounding, vicious slap across her mouth. “Don’t lie to me!” he snarled “And that's only a taste of what yoir're going to get! I'll make you wish you'd never been born before T'm through with you!"” She reeled back from the blow, her hand to her smarting lips. The bedroom door was open! Bhe gave a sudden terrified cry Phil was stapding: there on the threshold! Her brain, racing, told her, that of course he must have heard the blow when the Big Shot had struck her a sécoid ago.’ She Jooked wildly from one to the other. The Big 8hot stood motionless as though rooted to the,spot, fury and amazement struggling for mas- tefy in his working face—and Phil was omniously giet, his gray eyes all steel For an instant no one stirred and mo one spoke; and it seemed to Enid that the very world itself had been uprooted and was whirl- ing to destruction because these two. men had met! % ,iThe Big Shot finally broke the gilence. “Phil Martin!" His yoice Bad a queer, croaking sound. “God! Phil Martin—the great newspaper ferret of New York! Cloing to nose out: the Big Shot, were you? Well, you have! And this is what's back of .all the little game, is it? Using this she—Judas to get the goods on me, were you? She saved you last t, but—" mft:o you're the Big Shot!" Phil moved a step forward. He dghed coldly. “I'd never seen you , you know. This is my Tueky t! I've looked for you for a ll;r“:whne! Enid"—his voice #harpened, suddenly—“gey out of 1 h:t now her eyes were on the f . to shield Phil from the Big Shot beside the door! Enid didn't move, He advanced menacingly toward her. “Did you hear me? Be quick wbout it! I'll teach you to crawl before I'm through with you.” (Copyright, Frank L. Packard) A love turned to hate prompts the Big Shot to spring a sur- prise in tomorrow's installment. | O g pgaiil QUEEN IN PORT AND | SOUTH EARLY TODAY Steamer Queen, Capt. A. W.
