Don't strikz a woman, Armand!” But he did; with a bit of roll, paid the check, and they moved on. Beyond Nice the Corniche road curves incredibly rlong a rocky ledge above the sea, and on one of these turns, close to Villefranche, a car came out of the in- visible bend behind a great elbow of crumbling rock and sped up the incline on the opposite side of the bay going toward Monte Carlo. Both of them saw it at the same moment, and despite the which quaintly begged them to relent, Armand immediately increased his speed. The tires groaned as he flew around the corners, but the c head was well in advance. 11 bet he's just got here!” Alacia called into the wind. “Must have come in from Grenoble, at Nice! Funny to catch up like this!” “Not half as funny as it's going to “Just wait until I get hold of him; we're going to have this thing out right now!” But this was more easily said than done. Somehow it scemed impossible to lessen the distance between the two cars. They were perfectly matched for speed and both men were extraordi- | narily skilful drivers, and, fortunately, there was little traffic, for the Corniche was scarcely built for racing. It was impossible to be sure whether the men in the Europa ahead had seen their pursuers or not, although the swift steadiness of their pace seemed account- ed for in that manner. Certainly there was nothing to prevent Santini recoj nizing the car which strove vainly road made it unlikely that he would look back, and the curves were, in any event, concealing. Santini’s speed was utterly reckless and there must be, Ar- mand decided, a good reason for it, | since if he had already got rid of the Tubies, there was no object in this apparent refusal to be overtaken. Then, with the border of the principality of Monaco in sight, Santini slackened his pace. Nowhere else in the world are traffic laws so rigidly enforced, and the gold-laced guardians of the peace 8p- parently earn their innumerable medals in proportion to the number of their | arrests for speeding. Armand followed | | suit, slowing down and maintaining a | easonably cautious distance, .followed into the town. : He may look around any moment, now,” he said, “or spots us in his| mirror. I am curious to see what he's going to do when he's certain he can't scape up!” i "I;Bplc\\' I:'nur horn and stop him!” she “Oh, Armand, he may get away "87Not in Monte Carlo!” he said lightly. “Don’t be absurd! He's known here| and expected. It won't be as easy to avoid us as all that!”_ As Armand spoke, both cars began climbing the ramp of the hill leading frqm the port to the Casino, and Ar- mand had more difficulty in keeping track of the leading car, being obliged to dodge around trolleys and slow-mov- ing traffic, and, emerging into the flow- ery little place in front of the gambling | rooms, he was barely in time to see Santini take the hill road to Beausoleil, section of Monte Carlo. Tnrning right at the foot of the funic- ascent in haste, and Armand followed, the narrow twisting street elimbing up and up until it seemed that a machine could not possibly make the grade. Just in front of Armand’s car was a light taxi cab with a high, old-fashioned body and the seemingly accidental in- tervention of this vehicle made it i creasingly difficult to keep Santini in silght. Passing was not only forbidden, but highly dangerous and most of the time Santini was completely hidden, for the corners came at short intervals, but it was evident that he must still be somewhere ahead for here were no in- | tersecting roads. Then suddenly they | saw him for a moment through a gap in the tall buildings, his car still crawl- ing upward, steadily. And a second Iater the taxi driver immediately in front held out his hand.. He was about | to make a turn which was still invisible | to Armand and Alacia. - Perforce, Ar- gt the Radio Standard Time and are subject to adelphia Symphony Orchestra. | 10:00—Charles Carlile | 10:15—Columbia _ Institute of Public Affairs—Speaker, Senor Manuel | Roxas. 10:45—Gertrude Niesen. 11:00—Guy Lombardo and his Roya Canadians. 11:30—The Globe Trotter. 11:45—Harold Stern's Orchestra. 12:00—Joe Haynes' Orchestra. 12:30 to 1:00—Ted Florto’s Orchestra. 228.9 Meters.

On three sides the | buildings showed blank faces and, ex- | cept for Alacia and the taxi driver there was not a soul in sight. Under the impression that he must have suf- fered from a delusion when he thought he saw Santini turn in there. Armand ran frantically back to the corner, but the Europa was nowhere to be From this point on the La T and any car must inevitably visible from where he stood, but ti was none in sight. Where on earth had the man gone to? It scemed in- credible, but the anation mist li in the little blind street, which a weath: er-beaten sign on the corner dwelling announced as the Rue de Paques Fleurie. S8lowly he came back and spoke | to Alacia “Am I mad, or did he really turn in | here?” he asked. “I thought he did,” kily. she answered “In fact I could have sworn “Then where is he?” Armand sno: disgustedly. it A closer scrutiny of the surrounding buildings revealed only two possibili- ties. At the bottom of the alley, facing them and forming the blank end, a time or another it might have been used as a wagon shed. Below the shut- tered windows of the upper story were & pair of wooden doors, in bad repair | and with the remnants of a coat of green paint still clinging to their bat- tered surface, and these, had they been flung wide, could certainly have ad- mitted the vanished Europa. But they were held together by an old-fashioned padlock which was rusted in its hasp and had evidently not been disturbed for a long time. Bits of dirty straw stuck out from beneath these doors and Armand, reering through a crack, could see the place contained nothing g\;:' an old set of harness hanging on a . The other possibilty was more prom- ising. On the right. as one entered the alley and just beyond the spot where the tax! stood, was a modern one-car erage. It was built into the concrete Gundations of an apartment house and was closed, in the European fashion, by & sliding shutter of corrugated metal which reached from top to bottom of the entrance and locked at the side with a patent catch. If this shutter had been up when Santini turned the cor- ner it would have been a simple mat- ::nzznx;un the car in and lower it in- ously.
