He cnlists his friend, Emory Bat- tles, in a campaign to rescue her, which is complicated when the gang that captured Nancy carries out a series of abduc- tions of wealthy men of New York and Chicage. A new form of ransom, “board money,” is demanded of the relatives of the kidnaped persons. In un- usually shrewd letters the gang orders the money to ‘be left in a rowboat off the coast, and forbids any beat to approach the spot. Jerry and Emory, both war pilots, fly over the scene and see the motey taken away in a hydroplane. They start a pursuit but are out- distanced and forced to land because of gas shortage. News- papers announce a gangster, One-Shot Lucci, among the kidnaped men. Stevens, a gov- ernment detective, comes to see the boys. CHAPTER 1.

He selected one, broke it in h remained silent for a few moments while he got his chew safely under control, then sat back rylin his chair with a sight of con-ja pos tentment Hear you've been running out of gas down Atlantic City way,’] he confided unexpectedly.

Pretty soon though they come back sort of tired out and discouraged-like, and are glad enough to get a little help.” He lapsed into melancholy medi- tation, gazing about the room. Jerry and Emory, watching him in- , held their peace. “Me, 1 always have to take all the help I can get,” Stevens com- plained. “Now, in this case, for instance. O'course, I got an idea, Just the same as you fellers have, that the racketeers are stepping out high, wide and handsome.” “And 1 figure, just like you do,” he continued, regarding a litho- graph of the “Cutty Sark,” with in- terest, “that the gangsters are smart enough to cash in on air- planes as the next step up from armor-plated limousines as a sure means of getting around fast. Well, what's next?” He looked at the listeners, his eyes mildly question- ing. “You boys want to keep on playing single-handed, or could I buy a stack of chips and sit in with you?
