It was intensely dgrk, but as they began to skirt the rear of the building he could distinguish the outline of a door. They passed this—and halted before another one @ few yards farther cn. He remembered what Benny Ma- Jone had said. The first door was the one common to the mob; this one, _ Of course, was the private entrance to the quarters sbove that were sa- ered to the big shots. He would very fiuch like to see those quarters. But | would Buck O’Mara invite him in- Bide, or would he be told to wait out re for the money he was to take "to Spinelli? Buck O'Mara had been fumbling inthe darkness with his key. He ~pened the door and stepped inside. “Shut the door after you, and fol- “tow: me,” he said; “it'll save me coming downstairs again.” Colin obeyed—and then, unher- alded, as he moved across the threshold into an unlighted interior, ‘ @ sudden inspiration flashed into his mind. His brain was virile, work- ri j Ang-at Ughtning speed now. “Suppose that instead of merely | Misiting these quarters as he was “now obviously going .o do, he could deal to spend a night in the Press!

As for the rest— MAN MAKES FARM PAY AND GETS LAST LAUGH } : (Ry Aasoctated Press) LINVILLE FALLS, N, C., Sept. ®.—Neighbors and friends of J. M, Carver laughed in their sleeves when he bought a worn-out ae several years ago. “Tt’s too bad,” they said, “the | way Joe has been cheated on that! old, worthless piece of land.

He plains it this way: “When I took this land I found: that remained to be seen! The stage was set, anyway. His eyes searched swiftly around him, Buck O’Mara had disappeared through the doorway of the farther one of the only two rooms that led off from the hall—and had even left the door open behind him. A gesture on O’Mara’s part that cost nothing since from O’Mara’s casual refer ence to the emergency safe it wat. certainly no secret from the rank and file that there was one here! The two rooms, of course, were the two bedrooms of which Benny Malone had spoken, and which ob viously looked out on the alleyway, since they were on his left. On his right was a sort of hetero geneous wall, some of it ornate in both plaster and wood, relics ne doubt of the old Wine Press in ite heyday—and some of it of newer but cheap construction, undoubted. ly the parsimonious handiwork of old Keppelstein when he had made the building into two. At the far end of the hall was an- other stairway—the one, of course, that led to the Barneys’ quarters be low, and that he had seen when he had come in through the tobacco store. Nothing else! [t was a bit bizarre, of course, with its two stairways and its crazy- quilt wall; but, since these were readily explainable to anyone as be ing but an inheritance from the old Wine Press, there was nothing else about the place to excite comment, let alone suggest that it was the lair of gangster and mob leaders. His inspection at an end, Colin moved over and leaned against the wall. A minute, two, another passed. His eyes were on the doorway of Buck O’Mara’s room now—and he was nursing his arm and hand, and sagging heavily against the wall as Buck O'Mara, carrying a large, bulky envelope in his hand, stepped out inte the hall, Buck O'Mara came to an abrupt halt. Mechanically he took the cigar- ette he was smoking from his mouth, “What the hell!" he ejaculated. Colin swayed a little. “I'm sorry, Buck,” he protested. “I didn’t mean to let you down, I—I feel kind of weak.” ITH a perplexed scowl Buck O'Mara crossed the hall and fronted Colin. stared at Colin’s hand. “Why didn’t you tell me about this before?” he demanded. 2 “1 did,” said Colin. “in the cabin.” “But you said it wasn't anything.” “1 didn’t think it was. Then, my arm began to bleed—bad.” He was jerking out his words heavily, “Some of the mob put a bandago on it for me, and it stopped. But com- Ing back in the car it began a little again and—" “Well,” Buck O'Mara cut In blunt: ly, “why didn’t you say something about it then?” Colin clutched vaguely at the wal) steadied himself. “Aw, say, I didn’t want to welch on you,” he explained earnestly. “It wasn't bad enough for that—only @ drop or two. It was only when I was coming up the stairs there that it got like this. The—bandage must’ve slipped or—something.” Buck O'Mara laughed out shortly. “Well, anyway, you're not as bad | an inducement for vessels to make off as Benny!” he flung out, “I guess | ini, a port of call, you're some kid, all right.” “Tt don’t amount to anything,” as- serted Colin weakly, “except that } —T'm afraid I couldn't get very far right now.
