But I don't think © we ought to take any chances on an-| other murder when we may be able| to prevent it. I may seem pretty calloused. but I'm not so much con-| cerned about Senator Runbrecker as I am about Lee.” “Same here.” said Bill. “Besides, getting word to Senator Runbrecker withont Carl’s knowing about it won't| be easy. What could we say in a telegram that wouldn't be a dead gne-l away? No, I'm afraid we'll have to let the Senator look out for himself until he gets back to Washington « .. We've got to wire Lee to steer| clear of Chicago, though. I'll do that &s soon as I get back to the office.” | Ann rose as Bill went toward the “Don't forget to run by and epeak to mother and dad, Bill. You don't have to be formal about it Just pop in and out it you haven't much time.” ‘I'll do that,” Bill said, pleasantly. He pushed the crease out of his hat and carefully creased it again. “You don't know when you and Lee will be putting on the big act, I suppose?” Ann said she didn't know. There was a curious breathiness about her voice. “It's to be very simple. Bill . . . no preparations of any kind.

That's the only way.” She pulled away from him, then, and though she saw him but dimly through the tears. she forced a smile and held out her h “Good-by, Bill .. .” “That’s the old spirit . . .

Mollie found Ann lying face down on the couch, her face buried In a pillow. Without taking th- time to remove her hat, Mollie sat on the edge of the couch and put a hand on Ann's shaking shoulder. “Ann, darling—there's nothing to cry about. We all make mistakes The time to cry is when it’s too late to correct them. Why didn’t you tell me—about Bill?” The couch shook with Ann’s sobs. After a little Mollie said: “Lee will understand, Ann. soon as he gets in tomorrow night and tell him the truth . . . Is Bill com- ing back, soon?” Ann's head moved rapidly, almost violently. “No . He's—he's never coming back . . .!" “Oh, ves, he is.” Mollie said. She said it confidently, but she was sud- denly afraid. * ok ok ok Il see him as| | Simply to accommodate the Runbreck- It was after 10 o'clock when Lee lay down on the shaky cot in the | hangar within a dozen feet of his | plane, but when he was awakened at | a quarter after three hours' sleep had done him worlds of good.

With a -way decent break he'd make it this trip in 12 hours, getting into Washington at least 5 hours before they'd be looking for him. He'd need that much time to find out about a license and a clergyman.

As soon as they could get away they'd fly back to Los Angeles, give him time to finish up the two weeks' work under his present con- | tract and then, with his mother’s blessing (“Will she be hot when she finds out I wouldn’t let the maid wake her!”) they'd be off for the ends of the world. . Digging around in the pockets of his leather coat, he pulled out a telegram he had almost forgotten. There was a delay he resented, but he couldn't decently avoid it. He opened the folded yellow sheet and read it, thoughtfully: “Selma kidnaped stop Senator and | 1 going to Chicago Friday to pay | ransom stop Hope Selma will be re- leased there stop Would be grateful if you could pick us up Saturday stop To avoid crowd will go to Berwyn | Field stop Will be waiting regardless | of hour you arrive. “CARL BALMER.” No. he couldn't dodge that.

He left the office at 10:30 and went to his rooms to pack & bag. Less than an hour later he received a oall from the Justice De- partment official with whom he had talked concerning Carl’s supposed con- nection with the department. Bill explained-that he was taking & train to New York in about 40 minutes. “All right, I'll see that you are at the station at about 11:30.” The man was pacing the floor in the main waiting room when Bill arrived. They shook hands, cor- dially. “Sorry I couldn't come to your office, major.” Bill said. “But this isn't a pleasure trip I'm starting on. | I couldn’t afford to miss this train.” “No matter,” the man said. “This won't take long . . . You asked me several curious questions about Oarl Balmer the other day. You didn't say why you wanted to know and I didn't ask you. In the meantime, however, I've learned that Balmer was with your party in Boston when Deane Runbrecker disappeared, to be found later dead in the Capitol. That's right, isn't it?” Bill nodded. “You know Balmer pretty well. As man to man and off the record, do you think he could have had any-| thing to do with the murder? Bill hesitated, said after a moment, “Speaking strictly off the record, I think Carl bumped off both Deane Runbrecker and Fuhrman Wells, But what I think doesn't make a case.” “I understand. And even if you had proof, my department couldn’t touch him. I was simply curious to know how you felt about it. The police don't feel that they've got enough on him to make an arrest and they're trying to dig up some charge they can hold him on until they know where they are. Your questions the other day suggested to me that Balmer had been impersonating a Department ENTITLED TO THE of Justice agent. If that's correct, they can arrest him immediately.” “Carl happens to be in Chicago with Senator Runbrecker at the moment,” Bill sajd. “If you can get him there, you may save the Senator from a fall from the Washington Monument.” Seeing the puzzled look on the man's face, Bill added: “Just forget I men- tioned the Monument. Get Carl in a cell and you can work all that out in your own good time.” They shook hands again. —and a pleasant trip,” said the De- partment of Justice Man. Before Bill's train pulled out two squads of Chicago police were check- ing #he hotels to find Senator Run- brecker and Carl Balmer. (To Be Continued.)
