One of the two mep was beckoning to him. ‘Oh, well, Ohe could watch Dollaire from there as well as here—and it would not be politic for Clarkie Lunn to refuse an invitation from such a man as Harry the Lynx. Harry the Lynx was a crook of no small degree... He, Colin, did not know just what the other's racket was, but be had met the man many times in various dives and hangouts When, /as‘Colin Hewitt, he bad been out on his nightly prowls after ma- terial—and, subsequently, as Clarkie ‘ann, hevhad met the other tre ‘quently in the same places. Colin: rosé to “his feet—and stood ‘there for an instant as though riv- eted to'the spot, the blood pounding sudden hammer blows at his heart.

Help yourself. Let's talk—quick. Harry says you're from Boston, and that You've pulled a few deals with Papa Goyette—and that you had to blow out of Beantown ‘cause the pussy- foots were getting curious.” Colin poured out a glass of wine for himself. “Harry said a mouthful,” he satated laconically. “That's right, all right.” “Working any racket now?” { “Nope.* “How's funds?” Colin shrugged his shoulders. ; “The lasthandout 1 got from Papa i, be grinned meee ly, “is getting down toa thin layer. | “Looking for something?” “The wadding’s out of my ears.” “Okay.

Harry spotted you over there, and said you'd keep your face closed any- way. He's in a jam, and we may need help. What do you say? Are you sit: ting in, or do you want to fade?” Fade—and lose the promised chance of future intimacy witb Benny Malone! Colin was thinking in high. He did not know what this “jam” was that Harry the Lynx was in, or what his, Colin's, participa- tion therein might mean, though he Was uncomfortably aware that he did not like the sound of it at all— but there wa; only one answer. There was no apparent hesitation In bis reply. “Deal the cards,” he said, with @ convincingly twisted smile, “I’m sit- ting in.” “Attaboy!” applauded Harry the Lynx. “1 ain’t going to forget this, Clarkie, and—" “Jeese!” interrupted Benny Ma- lone in a fierce whisper. “There he is now, and it looks like he’s got two or three with him. And he’s got you lamped, Harry. Well,:here’s where Spinelli gets the tip to put the lights out.” He pulled an automatic stealth- ily trom his pocket, “Keep your feet out of the way, Clarkie,” he warned —and fired three shots in rapid suc- cession yunder the table into the floor. ‘Women’s screams, the seraping of chairs as both men and women rose in frantic haste from the tables, and a babel of panicky voices answered the shots. ND then, almost on the instant, the lights went out, “Scram, Harry!” snapped Benny Malone. “Spinelli’s on the job, all right. Here’s your chance. You know the way. Take the first train out of the burg. Clarkie and I'll entertain ‘em long enough to let you make your geta’ " And then, with a short laugh: “Look out for yourself, Clarkie! Behind you!. Stop him—but keep your rod parked,” It had ali happened, it seemed to Colin, in no more time than it had taken him to gain his feet. He whirled around. Someone, a black bulk out.of the surrounding dark- ness, was rushing upon him. He caught blur of lighter color— the face, And at that face he whipped out with his right, driving home an uppercut with all hie strength behind the blow. But the blow, though it reached its objective, did not stop the impetus of the other's rush, which drove him back against the table, where, losing his balance, he fell to the floor, his op- ponent on top of him. And then, as he grappled with the other, he felt a gun in the man’s band. But the other did not grapple in return—he was only a dead weight. Colin snatched the gun away and stood up. It was a lucky knockout, that was all; but~he smiled grimly—the gun was safer, from his standpoini, in his possession than In the other's! One sometimes did not take even the count of ten! Pandemonium reigned around him, hysterical cries, a bediam of noise; but he could see a little bet- ter now that his eyes had grown ac customed to the darkness, A furious struggle was going on a few feet away—the swaying forms of two men, One of them, of course, was Benny Malone. He could not tell one trom the other; but, as he sprang forward in that direction, one of the two forms crashed with a heavy thud to the floor—-and then he heard Benny’s vicious challenge: “Who's that?” “It's all right,” Colin answered. “My guy's asleep.” * “Good boy!" @pproved Benny Ma- lone hurriedly. “I had to plug mine with the butt. I guess there were only two, after all. Come on, beat it! PU show you the way.” Bet what the “way” was, Colin never knew—except that there were numerous doors and passages through which he was guided with Benny Malone's hand on his arm watil they came out on an alleyway and from there, presently, reached Fifth Avenue. And then, turning down a cross street, Benny Malone spoke for the first time as he slowed his pace to a leisurely stroll. “That was a swell plece of work you did tonight, kid.” he said enthu- slastically. “And, take it from me, | you ain't going to lose by it.” eke mk L.
