THIS HAS HAPPENED Mildred Lawrence falls in love with Stephen Armitage, who is lured away from her by Pamela Judson when she tells him that Mildred is trying to marry her brother, Har- oid, for his money. Harold fears Huck Connor because he holds a check which he forged. Huck is in- fatuated with Pamela, who plays him te make Stephen jealous. When Pamela maneuvers Stephen into an engagement, Huck frames him for the theft of an auto and causes hia srrest. Pamela breaks their engage- ment, bat Mildred goes to see him ia jail and promises help. Harold had once confessed his fear of Huck to Mildred and said that he threatened to “get Armi- tage” te keep him from marrying Pamela. With this as a clew, she determines to force Harold to aid Stephen and is shocked to hear of his death — apparently accidental. Then she tells Stephen her sus- vicions but they have no proof and things seem hopeless. In desperation, Mildred goes to Pamela and tells her story. Pamels sends her to Mr. Judson, who is im- pressed by what she says and takes Ler to headquarters where she re- peats’ her suspicions about Huck. Mr. Judson puts up bail for Stephen's re- lease and Pamela goes to see him and asks forgiveness. She also plans her wedding and picks out her ring. NOW GO ON WITH THE STURY CHAPTER XXXVII A tew seconds before the shot that was meant to kill Mildred was fired, an Incoming train disgorged its pas- sengera for that station and the first of the stream. hurrying toward the street, saw her pitch forward in a headlong fall down the stairs. One of them, a young man with a caulifiower ear and a quick eye, sprang forward to catch her. He sueceeded in breaking the fall but they both went down together. Others came to his assistance, but in attempting to get Mildred on her feet they saw that she was uncon- scious. By this time a guard had ap- peared upon the scene. He took in- stant and efficient command of the situation. The passengers, all but a few of the more curious, went on tireir way, not one of them suspect- ng that the girl had been shot. New York listens to her noises with but half an ear. A pistol shot, muffled as in this case, would be unheard except Dby those who chanced to be at clog range. And Mildred’s would-be assassin, although his nerves were unsteady and his shoulders jerked spasmodi- cally in a queer twitching mosion. had still enough command of his judgment to choose an instant that would give him all the advantage when he pulled the trigger. His right hand was on his side to the building. To anyone ap- proaching from the rear he was hid- den from view by the piled-up boxes. He would scarcely be noticed by anyone coming toward him as he faced the subway entrance, which would preyent him from being in the direct fine of vision of all but those coming up to the strect. That was tho chance he had to take, but shooting a young girl on a busy New York street could not be without its hazards. The thing was to “get her on a apot.” He'd been told to pick the first epportunity. near at the instant Mildred paused to get out her change, he decided the time was ripe to obey orders. Mildred was no more to him than a wooden target would have been. His mind was fllled with the prom- fse of immediate transport to his private heaven when the job was finished. He rneeded no other in- ducement to have it done as soon as possible. His half-sstistied craving for drugs was sufficlent to prime him for the murderous deed he’d under- taken, although the man who waited to knov: the result was well aware of the fact that the priming ftself was a factor against success. It was a risk the man was com- pelled to take. He hadn’t anyone at hand to send out on such a cold- blooded task except this lost crea- ture. This was not a gang war—he could get help from Duke and his men only up to a certain point. When it came to murdering a girl Huck had to do his own fixing, he was told. 8o he sent for Snifty—even Huck ftt doctors warn AGAINST standardizing weight May result in dangerous loss of fat in the tissues Tue American dh‘t"r craze that ooeks to reduce all fat'in the tissues is dangerous.

One glance at him and Huck saw that Snifty would promise anything he asked. But he couldn’t send him out as he was; he'd flunk it sure. It was necessary for Huck's pur- pose to satisfy Snifty's craving just enough to bolster his nerve up to the point where murder was no more to him than the price of a few hours of happy oblivion to torture, and yet stop short of giving him |y, enough of his drug to make him for- §et what he was sent out to do. ~ Snifty had picked up the trail shortly before Mildred left Mr. Jud- son. When he fired and saw her fall he turned and walked away with no thought in his mind but to get back to Huck and collect his pay. From across the street came a man who had seen Mildred go top- pling forward, but even he had no uspicion that she’d been shot. He 6id not notice 8nifty, who was cun- ning enough not to run. When the man saw that Mildred was receiving pid he went back to his fruit stand. His gallantry in go- ing to her ussistance was rewarded by the loss of an apple apiece to a couple of street urchins who made off in haste when they saw him re- turning. His interest in Mildred died right then, and altcough he was an ob- servart man he failed to see Snifty basten toward a parked taxicab as hia nirve began to fail him. When it was discovered that Mil- dred had been shot she was carried into & nearby drug store, where, she revived before the ambulance which had been hastily summoned arrived. The anibulanze surgeon decided to t:ke her to the hospital, though he told her the wound was super- ficial—"just a tiny splinter off the acromion. “You'll be able to go home tonight. " As it was her shoulder that| burned like fire Mildred assumed | that it was her “acromion.” Before she was helped out to the | ambulance she enswered a number of questions put to her by a police- man. 8h< sail she did not know who had shot her, mindful that In- spector Markeson was not ready to| make publi®the developments in the Judson case. But she was almost overcomc with terror. She knew now that Huck, should he be caught and| charged with murder, never would | let her tell what she knew on t witness stand if he could prevent it “He knows I've been to head-| quarters with Mr. Judson,” was the thought that ran through her mind with a fearful significance back of it At the hospital, after her wound | wns dressed, she asked to be al-| lowed to telephone. She was told to rest a while first, but her nervous anxiety was so apparent the nurse relented and called the number she ave for her. “Ask for Mr. Judson, please,” Mildred directed excitedly. In a moment the nurse handed her the recéiver. “Herelg your par- ty.” she said, “but don’t talk long.” “This is Mild-ed Lawrence,” Mil- dred said when she heard Mr. Jud- son’s voice. “I'm in a hospital. Can you come here right away?"” “What has hippened? Where are you?" Mildred teld say anything begged. “He hasn’t got here,” Mr., Judson replied. “But I've telephoned the jail: everything's all righ s Pamela with him?" 0. she's here.” on’t let her go out, and please hurry. The nurse says I mustn’t talk any more now.” “I'll_ be over directly,” Mr. Jud- son promised and hung up. tim, to “Please don't Stephen,” she | that was now in the possession of | | Besides, T'm | bullet just clipped the tip of my ldred waited for him in a fever OPEN UNTIL 9 P.

Mr. Judson nodded “What happened?” he asked. Mildred told him briefly. Mr. Judson's tace blanched as he tened. He realized then to the lest Huck Connor's implacable nature. “I sent for you so you'd see that you've got to belleve Huck Connor will do anything,” she said. “And there was a policeman at the drug store who asked me a lot of ques- tions. I didn’t tell him any more than I had to because I was afraid it would get into the papers and Huck would find out how much In- spector Markeson knows.” “You're a very brave girl,” Mr. Judson commented. “But we won't let you take any more chances. I'll tell Markeson of this at once. He'll sece *hat nothing gets into the pa- pers through the police.” Mifdred relaxed with a sigh of relief. Then her face clouded over again. “I supose I can’t keep it from my mother,” she said. “You might if we can keep the police reporters from getting it." 1| “She's 80 woried about me,” Mil- | dred explained, “and I'm scared too, Mr. Judson. I'm aure Huck knows | he’s suspected. If he didn't know it he wouldn’'t have disappeared.” “We'll find him,” Mr. Judson re- turned grimly. “We have the ad- vantags, for whatever he may be- lieve you have told us he does not know that we have his thumbprint —if it is his. That will make him less cautious.”. “I hape he won't find out before he's caught,” Mildred returned earn- estly. Mr. Judson understood the un- spoken thought behind the words. He, too, felt that if Huck knew of the evidence against the murderer n the police he would take a switt! vengeance on the girl whose disclo- sures had linked his name with the | crime. 5 “How long are they keeping you here?” he asked, speaking as though | it were ® matier of small impor- tance. “I'm going home tonight* Mil- dred told him, “after T've tele- phoned miother that I've met with a slight eccident.” Mr. Judson’s face became grave in spite of his efforts to appear un- concerned with the answer. “Don’t you think it would he ad-' vigable for you to remain here for’ a few days?" he asked. and aaded hastily: “Where you can have bet- ter car Mildred snilad what a wonderful mother I've not really hurt. “You don't know t.

Having made one attempt upon your life. the man probably would consider it too dangerous to M. THURSDAYS .for the you, if you lgroup admitted the charges, try again. He will expect us shall do well.” Mildred plainly showed the relief she felt at his words. “You'll go home in there will with you wherever you go from now until Connor is lodged in jail,” Mr. Judson went on, but if he could have known what was transpiring elsewhere at the moment as a re- sult of Huck's orders he would have been less confident of lodging Huck in jail.
