Greene stumbled backward up three or four stairs. They passed out of the house and stepped into: Winslow's blue road- ster at the curb. The wheels spun; they lurched forward. They roared down to Santa Monica Boulevard, thence into Wilshire. Swinging right into San Vicente, they flashed by the I 8 of the Pico crossing. As they zig-zagged into Crenshaw and headed south, Grahame noticed that he still neld Myberg's scrap of pa- per. He tore it across and held the pieces to the half-opened window. The wind snatched them. He muttered, "What a hell of a time to think of business.” Wianslow, ent over the wheel, chuckled dry'y “That's 2 ck at me, 1 guess.

He ad- justed his 'chute-pack and got in dual controls. Snapping on the safety belt, he folded his arms. The motor roared. Behind him Winslow yelled. “The airman's day off ... he goes flying—" ank did not smile. He experi- | enced a flash of envy for Winslow | who could joke in any situation. | Once—long ago—he was that way i too. Humor was simple to under- stand in those days: you laughed because you felt like it, or to keep up your courage. The motor thundered, the plane lurched, Grahame strained against his belt as the wheels left the ground and Winslow arched in a steep bank out of the field. .

Curious how at night the long line of surf stood out like broken white ribbons floating in an abyss of darkness. Frank glanced at the illuminated instrament board. Although the plane vibrated excessively—the up- balanzed prop—he estimated tkat they were doing considerably bet- ter than a hundred: they should be {at Caliente field within the hour. | teflectively he stared at the town lights that swung behind them on the left. He reconstructed the events that had culminated with Winslow |and him in a plane headed for the | Mexican border. He calculated the | ing Janice Kent at the end of their | journey. He discovered that his mind could not definitely arrange and did not make exact sense. An automobile accident had been arranged, he was convinced, by the arrived at the scene of thi cident almost simuitaneously with its oc Ortega from bringing his plan tc completion. UT what was that plan? Janice Kent's subsequent disappearance | from her home threw no light on the | matter. Her maid, Paula, had tol¢ | them that it was because Ortege [ioved her mistress, conniving the presant situation with a romantic objective.

It was possible, of course, but rather incredible. In the first place, Ortega was re- putedly -wealthy. Would he, then, take such elaborate, and melodra- matic - measures to engineer an elopemeént which when consum- mated would relieve Janice Kent permanently of the necessity of making her own living? Why then, should there beany pretense of mak- ing it appear that Janice broke her contract with the Consolidated not of her own free will? Considering his own regard for her, this method of reasoning gave Frank a glow of satisfaction. It brought him moreover, with equal logie, to the conclusion that she had been taken against her will. But for what purpose? There could be but three reasons why a girl would be abducted who was beauti- | ful,'rich, and a public personage. A man might love her insanely; be greedy for a ransom, or he could hate her savagely. The last motive seemed remote, and the second il logical; the first as he had provec to himself was impractical. These were not medieval days, when ab ductions were fashionable. Frank mutiered impatiently. It that brought him nowhere. There was but owe fact glaringly impor tant, Janice must be found. They roared cver a crescent of lizht that was San Diego. Tia Juana appeared below whereupon the en gine's erescendo broke into a sta catto of backfires and tempered explosions that told Frank that they were gliding to a landing.
