Jean, blinking. uncertainly in the unaccustomed light, discov- ered slowly that she was seated in a huge( windowless room, Less than an hour before, she estimated, she had been bundled into a car outside the TN offices and Rosario had sealed her eyes shut with strips of tape. She and . Dawson had been dumped on the ‘floor of the car, with a heavy blanket- thrown ‘over them. Ro- sario, warning her not to move, had emphasized his advice by ‘jabbing her withthe muzzle of a pistol. ~ : 4 . The car had jounced along swiftly for what seemed to her a near-eternity, jostling her roughly ‘as the driver swung into number- less streets, passing from the jumbled noises of Midtown Man- hattan to other, unguessable loca- tions where the way «became quiet, except for the sound of the auto motor and a distant tooting of boat whistles. When it Halted at last, Jean heard an overhead - door rising on its. vertical tracks. heavy They were inside a building when Rosario threw off the blanket and ordered her to climb out.

There was an odor of old, decay- ing wood and water-soaked plas- ter that became more oppressive as they advanced; Dawson, ap- parently, still being carried light- ly on Rosario’s shoulder. She had been seated in a room with a pe- culiarly stale, sealed-up ‘ atmo- sphere when McGann, in his own’ leisurely time, ordered the tape removed from her eyes. tae Her first glance, atthe dial of her. wrist: watch, astonished her with the brief lapse of:time since she had left the TN office. “If you was thinkin, of making a break, Sis,” McGann told her. “Just park that little notion back in the locker; this joint is locked up tighter than a gin mill on elec- tion day. You can scream your head off, but it won't get you nothin’ but a earache.” ROSARIO, seating himself heav- ily on one of the cots, was half-enveloped in the cloud of dust he stirred up. “I don’t like this, Rocky,” he announced at lengt' “Tl have it done over, Looie the Fourteen style—with a bell- pull for the chambermaid,” Rocky said. “Naw, Rocky; yuh don’t get me. I ain’t talkin’ about the foiniture.” “I know it, dope! Yourre still beefing over this snatch we had to pull. Well, taper off, you dumb lunk—we’re doin’ okay.

I don’t want no G-men buzzin’ on my tail.” Dawson began to stir restlessly on the floor. “Now HE’s gonna give us more trouble,” Rosario complained, “Do I hafta bust him loose again?” “Get those bracelets out of the desk and hitch him to that water pipe along the wall,” McGann or- dered. Rosario hesitated, sulking, and McGann cracked out: “Step on it, stupe; get those cuffs on him before ne comes to!” WERE ARE NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL CON= FERENCE BOARD ESTIMATES OF WHAT THREE WARS WILL pps COST THE US.

If you can’t afford a new dress, fix up some old blouses and wear a skirt-blouse rig. One kid did just that. She cut the neckline of an old white blouse into an off- shoulder style, pasted sequins around it (it is surprising how a \few glittering things can rejuve-| nate an old gown), removed the cuffs of the long-sleeved blouse, made the sleeves three-quarter length with a tight cuff.

McGann as though he were a warty lizard. “All you could punch around is a girl, you Pipsqueak!” F McGann grew pale and his lips tightened, , Rosario shot forward in a tiger- ish leap, his huge hands darting at Dawson’s throat. Dawson, still weak from his earlier beating, at- tempted to fend him off, but Ro- sario’s hands descended like a hawk’s talons, fastening them- selves about his throat. He tight- ened his grasp mercilessly, and started to hammer Dawson's head against the floor. : “Stop it, you miserable brute!” Jean cried out furiously, jumping from her chair before McGann could interfere. For the first time since sh. ‘ ad known him, she felt genuinely sorry for Dawson and determined to defend him. But more than that, it was her own fierce love. of justice that drove her on. She snatched off her right shoe and crashed its high heel against Rosario’s. head with ‘all her strength. “Let him alone! Let him alone!” 4 ay “Ow! Ouch! Get this dame -off me!” Rosario appealed to Mc- Gann, “She’s killin’ me.” He threw up his hands to protect his head, cringing under the rain of ows, Sang .McGann, who had slipped be- hind Jean without a sound, swung the barrel of his pistol, striking Jean a glancing blow on the side of the head. She fell to the floor in a heap, knocked out. Boa “What's the use of wasting any more time with them?” said Ro- sario as he clambered to his feet, cursing: wildly. “Let’s bump ’em off and skip the country; we won't be any worse off than if they got us for kidnapping.” (Teo be continued) An AP Newsfeatures f Pictograph MEETINGS | “OLDUNLUADSGANAUAAGAAASHOUULUSTAUUDAOAUEOLEOUUINONAUIOOLL HORE? | DAV Meets Tonight American Veterans will hold a meeting tonight, beginning at 8:30 o’clock, at 44-1 Poinciana.
