THIS HAS HAPPENED Mildred Lawrence falls in love with Stephen Armitage, who is lured away trom her by Pamela Judson ‘when she tells him Mildred is try- ing to marry her brother, Harold, for his money. Harold fears Huck Con- -mor, who is blackmailing him over a forged check. Huck is infatuated with Pamela and when she an- nounces her engagement to Stephe frames him for the theft of an auto and causes his arrest. Pamela drops Stephen, but Mildred tries to gei A ut of jail. r“;;lorl):d hl’d once told her he fear ed Huck, who had threatened get rid of Stephen to keep him from marrying Pamela. Mildred de- termines to force Harold to help her, but is shocked to hear of )Ihu death —apparently accidental. She tells Stephen her suspicions, but they have no proof and it scems hopelin. In desperation, she goes to lr *Judson, who takes her to headquar- lers to tell her story. Judson lm!!s Stephen out and Pamela begs llvtm “forgiveness. Going from (h\‘{,\.n .0 “his hotel with a detective, Stephen realizes they are followed. As n‘n» cars pass close, the thug shoots at the detective but misses as the lutv- fer shatters his wrist with a quick shot, thereby saving Stephen. The thug makes a getaway and they learn he was driving a stoler car. Stephen rcports to Mr. Judson “and learns that it was Mildred and not Pamela who had worked for his release. He is horrified when told that she also had been in- jured by a shot from one of the ters. i‘(’“;' GO ON WITH THE CHAPTER XLI Stephen seemed to freeze to ti .marrow of his bones. Even his voice stuck in his throat as he whispuered: e Judson looked at his white, constricted face, and told himself That Stephen was a hound. He Joved one girl and was preparing to marry another—a rich girl. “Just a slight wound,” the quisitor said, putting an end to the -porture. He was satisfied now. “Where is she?" Sephen asked rsely. ‘iIn & Lome tonight.” Stephen jumped to his feet “mustn’t be allowed to leave! They get her b:fore she's gone a block! STORY in- “ghe'll be protected,” Mr. Judson assured him. “Sit down.” § .. “I'4 like to see her,” Stephen said almost pleadingly. Mr. Judson shook his head. “They ay to “She's oecen under a severe strain “4his shock has unnerved her.” “How did it happen?” Stc phen asked. “That was the second attempt at murder this afternoon,” Oerndorf ‘“. up- “Mr. J:anon turned to him with a Fapid fire of questions. “Mr, Armitage here.” the lawyer said and nodded to Stephen. Then he told his client of the shooting on First avenue. “They mean to get rid of your witnesses,” he ended. “Which inten- tion suggests that they do not know the police have the thumbprint of the murderer, assuming it is his thumbprint on the belt.” -~ Mr. Judson turned back to Ste- Phen and his voice was less harsh as he said: “Miss Lawrence begged me to warn you of your danger. But “'m sure you realize that it is grave.” *' Stephen nodded. “You interrupted m said to Mr. Judson. “I was about to point out that it is necessary in order to protect these two, Mr. Armitage and Miss Lawrence, that Huck Connor be apprehended im- Taediately.” Mr. Judson glowered at him. “Don’t be funny, Ocrndorf,” he said shortly. The lawyer bridled. “I am not in- Aulging in humor,” he said tart “I was going to say that the owner of the taxicab from which the shots were tired is mow in custody, no doub:. | | that Pamela wa to| hospital, but she's going | let her rest,” he | for weeks. You know that. " Qerndorf | I'd advise that no time be lest in questioning him. Give him the third degree if necessary to make hirs reveal Huck Counor's whereabouts. “That's agreed. Armitage Stephen hesitated. “You're sure they wom't let me see Miss Law- ren Se Mr. “Will you come Judson with us, I “rm positive they won't. Come i | atong.” : Stephen went, quite forgetting waiting for him. downtown in a 4 Mr. Judson explained that he had placed his own car at Mildred's dis- posal and hired a detective o company her to her home and act as a bodyguard while she remained in danger. ; sphen, remembering what n had done for him, was great- relieved. “Markeson is sending his own men as weil” M “so she will be well They rode ly one of Judson added, man will as ity hope this stephen exclaimed neared their destination. But his hope was not Jestined to | come to frutiion. The man did not |talk. He could not. For Hu | hiding place was not known to him. Mr. Judson had gone home (o have dinner with his wife, Pamela and Stephen, and Oerndorf was en- sconced in the hosom of his family up in Bronxville long bhefore the questioning was over. The taxi owner was released at last. There was nothing on the re crds against him. The police were forced to conclude that the theft of his cab had been a bona fide lar- eny. He left cursing and declaring his tred and defiance of them, though the strength that remained in him was sma'l. He knew he was followed. “Tail {me, damn you!" he shricked, turn- |ing and shaking his fist at his un- scen shadower. Mr. Judson got the news of the | failure to make him talk from the | police by telephone. | “You'd better send for things and remain here,” he {to Stephen. i Stephen wzs disinclined cept the invitation. “Well, then,” Mr. Judson said, are under police orders to do 50.” He let Stephen catch a glance which Pamela did not sce and the young man understood that there was somcthing her father did not care to make known to her. He gave in with a poor show grace. Since returning from the police station where the owner of the taxi had been taken Stephen had sought to get away from Mr. Judson and go to Mildred. { But Mr. Judson was not willing to let him out of his sight. He fearcd Stephen's disregard of dan- ger. Whatever else he might think of him he did not consider Stephen a coward. And he had no desire to |lose a valuable witness. Aside from that he wanted to see Stephen and Pamela together, to study them, and learn, if poseible, how much Stephen meant to his daughter. Before the dinner was over he concluded that he was right about Stephen beyond question. The young man seemed oblivious to Pamela's charm. Pamela noticed it, too, but she put it down to oppression. Who wouldn't be tongue-tied with a future father- your said to ac- you, let alone a stepmother-in-law? She tried to coax her father into a better mood but he paid no at- tention to her. “You'd better not keep yvour young man up too late,” her father said to her when they left the table. “And you're looking terribly rocky yourself,” Mrs. Judson supplement- ed, thinking of the new neckla Pamela had got. She didn't see why an unmarried girl should have so high-hat future Yh, 1 won't need to worry until in-law glowering across the table at | I'm after my third husband,” Pa-| mela retorted behind her father's back. 5 Her stepmother, having married three times, turned angrily away to the small salon that adjoined the private room where they had dined and seated herself at the Florentine piane to murder De- bussy. Pamela drew Stephen off into a corner and offered him a cigaret. Mr. Judson left to attend to some business in his office, | “At last we have a chance to | talk.” Pamela said and settled her- self far Lack on a silken couch, Her costume was a very thin one jand Stephen thought she must be | cold and got up to close one of the French windows that opened onto a ! {small balcony. | | When he reached it he stepped out, drawn by the beauty ot the sky [ that giistened with stars — stars that he hadn't scen for weeks. | ¥ looked a moment at them and | then Jcaned over to view the com- reting lights below, | With a chocked ery Pamela was running He turned in surprise. “Oh don't, den’t,” she cried and | might. | grasped his arm with all her| “What's the matter?” “Don’t 170 so near the edge!

The feel of her slim young | body aroused no tender cmotion in | his heait but he was touched by her | emotion. | “Poor kid." he, murmured and | pressed her closer. Her father, returning. the room before Pamela drew her- | self out of Stephen’s embrace. | He stood for a moment surveying | the young ®couple with a perp! | | expression on his weary features. | Could he have been mistaken?

He got no further in his though Stephen saw him and quickly thrust Pamela way. “Here's the key Mr. Judson said, Stephen’s interest in ! to your room,” advancing with | cutstretched pand. “Your things| have arrived. ~ The management of the hotel where you lived had then placed in storag>. 1 hope you will find everything in order.” “Thank you,” Stephen said. “There was nothing important; mostly clothing. Onc of the boys from Mettle's was kind enough to look after the things I valued.” He turned to Pamela to say good- night, remarking that he would like to unpack his things. In reality he| wanted to get away and telephone Mildred’s home to inquire how she | | was getting along. An earlier call, put through by Mr. Judson, hal acquainted them with her safe ar- rival at the flat. “You can't go so early,” Pamecla | declared stormily. “We, we haven't | settled anything about our wed- ldln'f" Her father looked at her with | more sternness than she was accus- tomed to see on his face. fr. Armitage has had a very ex- | citing day, Pam.,” he said quictly. “Besides, T want to have a | with you. alone.” | (TO BE € | NTINUED) Special Notice | Come and bring your friends to a | nice supper at the Swedish Bethany |church Saturday, May 11, between 5:30 and 7:30 p. m.—advt.
