- THIS HAS HAPPENED . Mildred Lawrence falls in love with Stephen Armitage, who is lured away by Pamels .Judsen when she tollp him Mildred is trying to marry her brother for money. Harold fears Huck Cemnor, who is blackmailing him over a ferged check. Huck is in- fatuated with Pamela, and whep she unces her engagement to Ste- frames him for stealing an ®~asio and csuses his arrest. Pamels drops Stephen, but Mil- dred ‘tries to get him out of jail. Harold had once told her he feared Huck, who had threatened to get rid of. Stephen to keep him from-mar. _sying Pamela. Mildred determines to force Harold to help her, and is shpcked to hear of his apparent sui- ';'g cide. She tells Btephen her suspi- - == clons but they have no proof. Finally o alffe " goea to. Mr: Judson, who takes her to head-quarters to tell her story. Judsen bails Stephen out and Pamela begs forgiveness. -After Hi§'relense, Stephen narrow- Ay escapes being shot by a thug. He Teperts to Mr. Judson and is horri- * fled to learn that Mildred has been wounded by a gangater shot. His concern over her causes Judson to doubt his love for Pamela and he forbids his daughter to “buy her man.” She reminds him that his money had bought her two penniless stepmothers and pleads until the ~ifather gives in. Next day Pamela fakes Stephen to call on Mildred and tortures her by saying that they are to be married at once and sail for Africa. Connie tells them Mildred is to marry a Tommy Mitchell. Meanwhile, Huck is having a bad time with his gangsters, who rebel at his abuse..He offers a thousand to the one who gets Stephen (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) ¢ CHAPTER XLVI “S8ome flattie out. in Pittsburgh . Picked up Lefty Flint this morning!"” ‘Duke Broggan leaned forwardand shot the words at Huck with the force of bullets Huck flinched His suavity was worn through by his voluntary exile of the among his criminal acquaintances. “Has he peached?” he rasped in- stantly. “Letty won't,” Duke returned; “but it they get J. B. , . .” “Where is he?" “Dunno. He skipped with Lefty when that bird Short from the in- surance company get too warm-— but you know that. Lefty saw him last in Philly.” Huck relaxed. “What've they got on Lefty?” he asked after gulping his drink. “That old Scanlon rap. But my guess is they want him for ques- tionin® about that car. Old Man Jud- son’s mouthpiece didn't send for 8hort fer nuthin".” Huck nodded. It required no sec- ond though for him to realize that Mr. Judson believed in Stephen's in- nocence and that his lawyer weuld, on hearing Stephen's story, immedi- ately seck to have Lefty Flint and J. B. apprehended. Huck had no doubt that it was Oerndorf who had caused Lefty's arrest. Short had been convinced of Stephen’s guilt, apparently, and, having no proof that J. B. and Lefty had been the young man's ac- complices in the larceny, had allow- ed them to get away. But it was not clear to Huck, or to Duke, how Stephen or anyone else had connected Lefty and J. B. with the theft except on suspicion. . e . Huck found relief that they hadn't. “Find J. B. and get word to him to lay low,” he told Duke. “Right, but listen, ,Huck, T gotta warn you this place ain’t too safe for you now.” He shifted his eyes from Huck's direct gaze and Hugk understood his earlier reluctance to unburden him- self. He amiled cruelly. “Losin’ your nerve?” he taunted. Duke's eyes came back to glower at him. “I been your riend,” he said short- Ty. “But too many people know ¥his place.

B. takes a fall. And Frean's got that sap, Sost, tagged for life. They oughta busted his head instead of his arm! He's fool enough to walk right out and ask a cop for a light.” “Better get him and Daisy to leave town as soon as he can re- move those bandages. Until then, lock him up—here.” Huck spoke coolly and unemotionally. He was getting himself under his habitual control. “An’ how about you?" queried uneasily. i “There’s plenty of time to wer- ry,” Huck assured him, “If yeung Judson had told that Lawrence girl about coming here with me the po- lice would have been down on us be- fore this.” “But you got it from the kid him- self that she was wise to some- thin',"” Duke expostulated. I sure shot they're lookin’ for yi “Well, I won't be here when they get around to asking you,” Huck reé- torted. “But if they can’t force Lefty peach and they don't get their hands on anyone else—J.

It was a nervous gesture, “Well, what of it?" he grunted. “Nuthin’,” Duke returned, “un. less the guy they want left a clew.” “So that's what you're afraid of,” Huck sneered. “Well, get this, Duke, the bulls haven't got a chance to hook me up with that affair.

He thought Huck was a fool and he was teo closely associated with him to enjey the thought. Arnold Pajoeff arrived ar heur later. He “was a man of Huck's own stamp; one of thees who had assisted Rim in his crooked poker games. < Huck confided nething of bhis presgat troubdle to. Palcoff and told him nething of his future plans.

Then he was te have a duplicate key made and bring it te Huck. . With that key in his pecket Huck walked calmly and unhurriedly into the Judsen hetel.

He was forced to risk being red- ognized by the reom clerk, but he'd ‘never been on that particular floor before he felt fairly safe. He stepped. at her desk without a sign . | of nervousness and asked her to ring Palcoft's room. She 4id, and told him Mr. Palcoff was in, giving him the number of the roem. M’ e She noted that Huck had come up the stairs instead of using the eleva- tor, but men, visiting each other from one floor to another, often did that She did not conslder it a suspi- cious circumstince. Huck's appear- ance favored him; he looked like one of the hotel's best dreased guests. Among the instructions given Pal- coft had been one to the effect that he must' gst & roem ‘on the 18th tloor. “Look here, Huck,” he said when the latter reached his reom. “I don't know what you're here for but I got it from Gus that this is that Judson girl's tloor.’ Tell Gus to quit and get out,” Huck snapped back without an in- stant's hesitation. 'How about me?" Palcoff asked. “If you're getting ready to pull any- thing raw. . . ." “Pack your keyster and take a trip,” Huck advised abruptly. *Work a beat.” “Come through,” Palcoff said with sudden earnestness. “If yoy're fixin' to make a fall guy out of me. ‘Take it easy,” Huck bre in. “You're clean in this.

After that there won't be any squawking.” Palcoff gave him a hard, search- ing look. He had his own opinion of Harold's death—Huck's geing into hiding so soon afterward told him the story—but he knew nothing of the other events with which Huck had been connected. Had he known that the police wanted Huck he'd have left him flat. Even Gus, the waiter in their pay, did not know.
