SYNOPSIS: The Big Shot diovers that Enid Howard is the weman who has thrice thwartcd his plans, only a fow hours after he had confessed his love for her. He overpowers Phil Martin when he comes to Enid's rescue and summons his gangs*-r pols to aid him. In the meant'me he convinces Enid he is mot hes brother. and she is happy. The Big Shot's accusa- tions of comnlicity to aid Phil in the gang lead: move: the suspicions he forned of Enids activity as a crim'nal. They are taken away in a closed car by lzzy Myers and a gangster, headed for the “Old Homestead.” Its signifi- cance terrifies Enid. They are being taken for a ride! Chapter 38 PRISONERS That gangland phrase—taken for a ride—that she had seen so of- ten in newspapers—now came home to Enid in all its bald, stark mean- ing. ‘Was death waiting at the end of the road? It was like the last ride of the condemned—on the way to execu- tion—and the horror of it had seized upon her. There had been moments when she had so very nearly lost her self control—moments when she had so very nearly broken down. To bring shame upon Phil and her- self for her cowardice! To invite the sncers and taunts and ribald Jaughter of such scum as these; that was all that had saved her. Her pride. The pride that she prayed would still keep her head high at the last. She knew no illusions. there would be no mercy. She knew what gangland “justice” was. She knew that murder was the way these men earned their daily bread There was no chance—none—unless they, Phil and herself, could in some way make their escape. Her thoughts became chaotic. The Big Shot wasnt Roy. . . . That would have been horrible now . . Would Martha ever know? What would Martha do when sh2 re- turned and found that there was no one there any more? It didn’t scem) even now that this was real It cpuldn't be real . Bhe had been so happy at Martha's . . . It had been so quict and homelike And she had thought that per- haps by working hard she might some day make a little name for herself with her pen .That was what she had come for—to study, to gather material and to work . and, instead, this was the! remit . . . . A ride! . [That dread phrase again! . . . If she— The car swerved suddenly, turned into what seemed to be a sort of driveway, or lane, bordered with trees, and almost immediately the headlights picked out the outline of a house—a long, rambling house, She knew car swinging now, the headlights described an arc and swept their rays along the length of the bulld- ing.' “The car stopped. \ Igzy Myers was prodding at her viciotisly with the muzzle of his re- volver. “Get out!" he. orderec harshly. She felt her way to the ground. It was very dark. The lights of the car “had been switched off, .and there were no lights showing in any of the windows of the house. She looked around her, striving to aceomimodate her eyes to the dark- ness. The two gangsters were taking Phil ‘from the car—and from the scuffling sounds and the snarled oaths which accompanied their com- mands, were obviously performing their office none too gently. She; obedient to Izzy Myers'| stood still, restraining grip upon her arm. She could see a little more clear- 1y now. They were standing close to the front porch, and now the door of the house was being opened “Who's there?” a man's voice demanded sharply from the dark interior. “1 guess you know, don't you?” Izzy Myers grunted in reply. “Oh—you, Izzy!" exclaimed the voice in a tone of relief. “Well, I had to be sure. You're early, ain't you? The trucks won't be along for another hour.” Izzy Myers laughed gratingly. “Well, we've brought you the first load,” he said. “We've got a couple of visitors for you here; and the Big Shot will be along in a little while with Ma Kane—and maybe Pa Kane, too, I dunno. 1 guess you'll have a houseful—but this pair ain't fussy about their ac- commodations. The Big Shot said to tie them up in the barn until he gets here.” “Qh, so that's the lay, is it?” ‘There seemed to be someéthing eager _and malicious injected into the voice from the doorway. “Sure!

I'd advise you, shough, to save your breath until here, as I've a hunch you'll have to use your lungs then some!” She made no answer, nor did Phil.
