o (Continued from Yesterday's Star.) INSTALLMENT XVL ORSTEN captured! This wretch- ed turn of affairs had robbed Jenny of even the last vestige of hope. It seemed incredible that when he had at least a fair chance of escape to make a new life for himself he should have thrown it away on such an insane gesture as this. What was the reason for it she could not even guess. He had looked mad—as if he did not know where he was or what he was doing. Had he been fighting with those two gypsy men? She could only wonder as Tol sten was lying there now, almost un- conscious from the blow Spiro had given him. Hickey Cain's joy when he saw the figure at his feet knew no bounds. *Truss him up,” he said jubilantly. won't get off agal Not when fenny felt sick. But Hickey Cain did not have much time for gloating. The condition of O'Malley looked alarming. He had been removed from the bushes, and was lying now, almost touching Tor- sten, moaning incoherently. It was mostly fright; but he refused to let any one touch him, crying that his back- bone was twisted.

Hilarious in their triumph, Spiro's blow had opened the old scar in Torsten's forchead. It made him look ghastly, with the blood seeping down in his eyes. But when Jenny tried to mop it up with her handker- chief her father jerked her n:ny.‘ “None of that, my young lady. You kegml‘n_v from him. We're looking after that roughneck now. She knew that it was of no use to protest; it would only make her father more furious. It was better to let thi go as they would—and think. Her mind was working like a8 dynamo. frantic in the search for some way to save Torsten. o Tve “Don't worry,” chortled Rudin wm' her father cautioned him. “Dis oo e the motor shed ther. “T'll come out in a little D levand then well have a talk with him* p\.?'x‘orswn a third degree of some sort.

Once they had their hands on Torsten she would be powerless. . “you,” he growled to Jenny, “you o to your room and stay there.” And to make sure of this he followed her to her room and locked her in. “Don't you fret,” he admonished her through the door; “your time's coming.’ = was not afraid of that. e = But she hldTne Lhw(!ilfi less; and she went back; feeling fear- fully under Alexander’s bed until her hand closed on the club she knew Al- exander always took to bed with him. 'Il‘hz;n she stole out and hurried to the shed. Rudin was sitting there with his back against the open door and he looked at her surprisedly as she walked up to him. “Hello!” he said, getting up. She gave a sigh and swung the ciub as ;mrg as she could—a direct hit on his hea She wes terrified to see the way his legs gave way beneath him, but she jumped over his body and tried to cut Torsten's bonds. He tried to keep turn- ing round, so that he could see her, mumbling protestations. She had to hang on to him, hacking at the rope until the last strand was severed. But then he just stood there, staring at her—like an idiot! “Run!” she urged, pushing him to the door. “Oh, for God's sake—run!” He hung back in the doorway, feeling her—and fell over the prostrate body of Rudin. She heard him give a gasp, saw the black bulk of his body bending over the man on the ground—and then he suddenly leaped to his feet and ran! He ran crashing through the trees, as if some one was pursuing him. She heard him crash against the fence at the back of the barn, his cry of alarm, another crash, and then the thud-thud- thud of his feet dying away in the night. It was just as if he was feeing after having killed Rudin! As if the devil were after him. She sank down. For a few inoments !{she was powerless to do saything else but sob brokenly. The reaction of her taut ner had left her in chaos. “He's free.” she sobbed. “Free!” Ii was the sight of Rudin's still form which brought her to her senses. For an in- stant she thought she had killed him— he was so deathly still. But then she saw him move and heard his low groan. She stared at him—amazed by what she had done. The old farm was so still that che could hear the faint rustling cf the leaves. The moon was just rising.

C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 A First-Run Novel By Negley Farson she kept to them, skirting the edge un- til she reached a crossroad. This she knew was the road that crossed the subgrade to Foxville. Her heart stopped as she saw two figures in the darkness ahead of her. She walted for tihem to go on and then she saw that fuhey were coming her way. They were ar- guing, & man and a girl, and her heart gave a leap as she recognized the voices of the es. ‘Then she saw it was the big man, Andor—and he was arag- ging the girl along by her arm. The girl was crying. . . . She was glad that she had stepped off the road, for Andor d the girl st within a few feet of her, going ick along the side of the woods from which Jenny had just emerged. They had been talking in a strange tongue, but even in that pale light of the early moon Jenny could sce that Andor was half wild with rage, It was terrible to see the way he had twisted the gypsy girl's arm. It filled Jenny with dread, with & vague sense of fear that Torsten was in some way mixed with ii. That | his mysterious appearance in the woods for her with his hands. Trying to clutch i tonight—when he should have been miles away—was another tragedy of some sort of which she had just wit- nessed a part. And then her heart stopped- from out of the darkness behind her had come a piercing scream. It held her there, trembling, while the silence seem- ed to settle down again, muffiing the dark night, and then she fled on— She jumped into the bushes. 71he headlights of a car had suddenly lighted up the road. They bobbed up and down, silvering all the overhanging trees, and then they flashed out. The car had turnad off the Foxville 1oad and gone Gown the subgrade.

It was merely & question now of xeeping her head and not allowing her own feclings to get the best of her. She must not forget that both she and Torsien were simply bound to meet in the end. That was the one thing she must live for. The road was a little frightening. | Everything seemed to be in such my: terious shapes.

She tried to see the spaces between ther. After all, a person only lived once—and God hates a quitter. She took up her walk. She was afrald to head for Foxville. People would see her. She turned off into one of the side roads. That must lead to a town— sometime. It was tiring, waliing like this, with her heels turning over in the ruts. It was cold, The mist was hang- ing over everything like smoke. Her cloak! She remembered, suddenly, that she had left it by the woods, when Tor- sten had come out to attack Chauncy. What a long time ago that seemed. Maybe that gypsy girl would find it— and keep 1t! "Let her. She wondered if those gypsles had seen the fight by the woods. They might have been lying there—watching it! ‘What was she going to do when she reached Chicago? That was unpleas- ant.

Maybe that old Jog Jorgensen, Torsten's friend, might be of some heip. Any- way, she could lose herself in the crowd. That was one thing in favor of a big city like Chicago. You could just jump into it—and vanish. Hello! That looked like daybreak. ‘The sky was turning gray. She could see the fields now, stretchinz away from her. There goes a light.

She stopped then and counted her money. She had $15 and some change. Quite a lot. She felt better, already started . . . At 9 o'clock she reached a small ham- let, walked bareheaded into the first quick lunch place she camo to and had coffee and eggs. Then she went to a store and bought & hat—$7.50. It wasn't such a bad hat at that. She caught a local train out at 11:15, sat there watching the flat country whiz- zing by, caught the Chicago express at the junction, watched 150 more miles of country shoot past, peered out of the window with fright gripping her heart as they raced through the low huildings of the suburbs. and then she saw the mountains of stone and glass rushing down on her: the train stopped--and she entered the strests of Chicago. That night a Miss Joyce Conper reg- istered at the Y. W. C. A. and Jenny Cain laughed as she wrote it. Miss Joyee Cooper had been born ‘vhile she was fingering the nen at rthat desk.
