Phil's dis- covery is imminent and he faces the Big Shot, A fight follows and Phil is knocked out when his head strikes a desk. The Big Shot is master of the situa- tion. Chapter 36 FEARS DISPELLED It took all Enid's strength but she managed to carry Phil to the small couch against the wall. She! was unable to 1lift him onto it— and the Big Shot probably would not have let her, anyway. But there was a cushion on the couch, She snatched at it, defiant of what the Big Shot might say or do, and placed it under Phil's head But the Big Shot only laughed again. “That’s right,” he jeered; “give him all the comforts of home! He'll need 'em!” She sat down on the couch. Something wae trickling down her cheek—not, & tear. She had no tears. Emotionally she seemed to be strangely cold and nurhbed. She found a handkerchief and Wiped the blood away. Beside her ©on the floor Phil stirred. She looked at the Big Shot. He sat in the desk chalr, which he had swung halfway &round, facing her. He laid his revolver on the iedge of the desk and called a num- ber on the telephone. “Just keep as quiet as you can, my poor fellow,” the Big Shot ad- vised Phil with mock solicitude, “I'm putting in an emergency call for an ambulance for you now—and the results might be very serious if you overexerted yourself in any way! I'd never forgive myself if—" He broke off abruptly, and began to speak over the ’phome: “That you, Izzy? . Yes, Norry. You know where 1 am, don't you? . . All right! Come over here at once with s closed car, and bring a cou- ple of thé boys With you . .. What? I leave that to you—any two you like. The front door isn't locked— you can walk right in, Jump to it!” “What are you going to do?" she asked “You heard’ me!" the Big Shot flung back with a sharl. “T've sent for the ambulante—and T.guess there'll be room fof you Mt too! Mr. Martin segms to. Pe recovering slightly—but & hope -for s sake | he womt try to overtax his! strength!” Bhe glanced at Phil. - He had raised himself on one elbow now an@, rubbing his free hand back and forth across his forehiead, was staring in a dazed way at the Biz Shot. ¢ Her eyes reverted to the Big Shot. He had picked up the silver framed photograph from the desk, and was glowering &t it—the pur- ple beginning to mottle his face ‘again, “My sister!” he roared out sud- denly. “I'l sister yol! And you {there, Martin! You thought you were cléver, didn't you? Wel, so you were—1'll hand that much to you for working up the ‘brother and sister’ dodge! Anhd you nearly got away with it! 1 thought she was straight and that she really be- fleved ! was her long-lost Roy.” suddenly at Phil, “Where did you| get that picture?” It missed its mark, struck the edge of the couch, and, with shat- tered glass, dropped face up on the “Enid!” It came in a choked, throaty cry from Phil—he was sitting bolt upright, the daze had goue from his eyes, and he was viaring at the picture, staring at ihe Big Bhot. “Fnid!” he cried again. “I heard a lot while I wds In that room, enough so that I know, thank God, that I had misjudged you—but & ot too, that I did not understand. 1 begin to see Dow.

I—I couldn't let the safe be robbed. I tried to do it myself so—so that I could send what was in it back afterward” | “Yeah? Ain't she the little white- | robed angel of light!” mocked the Big Shot. “And still trying to put| the ‘brother' stuff over!" “I've—I've changed a little,” she | said unsteadily. “I've come to hnp.fl‘ with all my soul that you're not| Roy.” | “Yeh?” he mocked again. “You're| 300d!

I thought I was good, 00— iapd that this Martha woman, who- gvér she was, one of your stage ihands I see now, would prove I wasn't your blasted Roy, and prove it hard enough so even you would | be satisfied.” | He reached suddenly for his re- valyer.

For a moment he toyed with the revol- ver, then he laid it down once more on the edge of the desk—and a sardonic grin spread itself over his features. “Martha telephoned you, didn't she?” he inquired. “Yes,” Epid answered. “Yeh! And, of course, there not being any Roy at all and she standing In with you, there was only one thing she could say. The two of you would fix that.
