The truth is that she loves Terry. and is kept from acknowl- edging the tact b; her pride, She te on her way bac ‘ashington ; meanwhile her father and Terry, in New York. are negotiating with a blackmailer named LaM who tells Ray West that Allaire killed a man in the tropics. Terry, who knows that LaMarr js lying, is with Ray. _— Chapter 32 TENSE SCENE LLAIRE drove back to Washing- ton at a very reasonable rate of speed for her. Oftce or twice she seemed to twist her shoulders im- patiently, and once she blew her horn for no reason at all — just banged the horn button with her gloved fist. Another time she said “Damn!” in accents loud and clear, and frowned mightily. All of which might have pointed to an intense mental struggle. But when she rolled into Wash ington in the early evening she knew perfectly well (hat she was going to see Terry Willett again. Chasing after a man! She banged the horn button again and turned ia at the entrance drive of her mother’s home. As she walked past the drawing room she heard a sudden incredulous exclamation and two strange men pounded cut into the hall and looked at her as thougb she were a walking grenade. One of them said, “My God!” “Miss West!” croaked the other. “Why, yes,” said Allaire, “what's the matter? “Matter? Your father has had us looking high and low for you the last two days and here you come walk ing in—” Her mother was right behind them. She pushed them aside and looked at her daughter with an ex- pression of relief mixed with amaze ment. “Where on earth have you been?” she said weakly. “Hell has been pop: ping in New York—” “y A MARR.” That's all that Rayburne West had said. He Icoked strained, Courtney Rayburne West of Mead- owbrook. Cannes, Del Monte, and Westlands. So did George Fox of Harvard and the United States Foreign Service Terry Willett threw his cigaret in the fireplace and stood by the man tel, his hands locked behind his back. LaMarr. He was ushered in and stood near the door, his eyes glanc- ing swiftly from one to the other. He was groomed as if he'd just come from a Fifth Avenue tea and must. cale. Tall, dark-eyed powerfully built and impeccably dressed—no wonder Nell West had been sur- prised at her Ramon. “Why do we meet here?” he asked Ray suspiciously “Does that make any difference?” “It does, Mr. West. Ah, yes. | do Not go to strange houses that seem remarkably quiet and tind myself with three men. Your plans, Mr West?” There was a sudden per. emptory ring of steel in his soft- spoken voice. “Mr. Fox you know,” said Ray steadily. “And Mr. Willett ts also acquainted with the circumstances.

He sa! down comfortably, nodding lo George Fox Willett bad been inspecting him keenly. He stirred in his position at! the fireplace and LaMarr’s quick glance was on Sim in an instant. “This gentleman is acquainted with the circumstances, you say?” “Yes,” said Terry. “I'm plenty ac quainted.” He seated himself on the edge of the desk and folded his arms His face as he regarded the urbane LaMarr was not too pleasant. | “Do you enjoy this matter of try-} ing to hurt a woman?" he asked] curiously. “1 do not believe 1 have had the} honor—” “My name's Willett. 1 happen to be Interested in what you're trying to jam through per You know, La.

No police. And so is the second, because you haven't any story that would hurt anybody. Allaire went to those docks because | took her there. She shot a man in self-defense to protect me. But that man didn’t die. He lived. So there's your mysterious murder gone up in smoke. You haven't any facts, LaMarr, and your bluff is be- ing called. “So,” be said thoughtfully, “there goes the second way of dealing with a blackmailer, a sneaky breed like a kidnaper.” A MARR’S face was inscrutable. ‘ There was a tightening of his mouth, but that was all. “If Mr. West chooses to believe you, that is his affair,” he said smoothly. “I know I don’t.” “You don’t have to belleve me. You knew Hildez wasn’t killed, but you took a chance on nobody else knowing it, and nobody is going to pay you a nickel for that fake yarn of yours. “Now get out of here, LaMarr while your skin ts still safe. And if there’s any further trouble from you ll beat you into something crawly and shapeless and half blind. Maybe I'll do it now. 1 don’t like you, LaMarr.” “A strong arm man, perhaps?” LaMarr said lazily, but his eyes on Willett were deadly and alert. “No,” said Terry, “just somebody who always tries to finish what he starts. | started the job of covering that girl and I'm going to finish it. You're not dealing with these two gentlemen here. You're dealing with me—and I've been called a rough- neck, Well, all right, that’s what 1 am. A roughneck.” LaMarr then pulled his master stroke. He turned coolly to Ray West. “You are liberty to believe this man, of course,” he said. “But I do not regard his word as any proof. } mentioned thirty thousand dollars before, I believe. Mr. West, the sum is now—forty thousand, or the story is released. You may take your own chance.” Ray West was helpless in situa- tions of this kind. He looked at Fox. The attaché was indecisive also. That Terry knew what had happened on the docks he was sure, but how could he know anything of Hildez’ final fate? That death angle gave the story spice, and Ray West seemed to be uncertain also as to how far to string along with Terry Willett. He might be bluffing, himself. LaMarr pressed his advantage. “In five minutes,” he said calmly, | ‘lL will take my leave with your an- |swer. Consider quickly then.” His effrontery touched off Willett. ; “Oh, hell,” he said suddenly, “why argue with the snake?” fe was around the corner of the desk, moving fast, coming for La- T ‘Terry armed.” LaMarr leaped to his feet like a cat. His revolver appeared in his hand, but he didn’t get a chance to fevel it. He struck with it instead, clubbing Willett across the forehead and ripping a wide gash. But that didn’t stop Terry Willett. He was on top of LaMarr. The fighter was in action, the merciless, bard- fisted fighter of the engineering camps and free-for-alls on docks at midnight. A furious, slashing man who ripped into LaMarr with the venom shouted Fox. “He's of a striking panther. A human be- } ing going after another human be- ing. Ray West watched, his face white. And Fox, intercollegiate boxer that he was, champion of three-round boxing matches in college gymna siums with referees and hand-shakes and points scored on little white cards, looked upon a fight that car- tied punishment and fury and sav- age strength.
