Her voice was shaken and tearful. Ronnie cut in peremptorily. "Turn around and get going, Vernon! Explanations Explanations later !" He slammed the tonneau door, A she did so, Iris jumped out the front of the car. Barry was immediately immediately exasperated. "Iris! Please get back in the car! Where are you going?" She ran around -to Ronnie. Where lie went, was adventure! "I'm going with Ronnie!" she announced. announced. "Now look here," fumed Barry, "Mother will be simply--" "She goes with me!" Ronnie's tone was final. He grabbed Iris by the arm, and ran with her towards his Own car. In a moment, they were speeding away. "Why?" demanded Ronnie abruptly. abruptly. "I don't just know," admitted Iris. Her thoughts swerved to the other girl. "What is this Juanita that Barry Barry seems so chummy with?" "I don't just know who she is -- she didn't have time to tell me. Just gasped something about some follows grabbing her, in town, as she came home from a movie-- She didn't seem to know 'what it was all about, except that, she was scared to death. But it must be* Cramer's outfit, because that's one of their pet hangouts!" "How did you ever manage to get her out?" Iris asked. Ronnie grinned. "I sneaked around to the back, found a ladder, and put it up to that broken window. There wasn't a soul around, so I climbed up, put my hand through the hole in the pane, unfastened the latch, and raised the window. Then 1 flashed my torch into the room, and saw her on the bed --gagged and ropped. I climbed in, used my knife on the ropes, and brought her down as quietly as possible. possible. "It seems they had picked her up at the point of a gun and didn't tie her up until they got her there. Then, she put up a fight and get in one yell before they gagged her -- also kicking kicking a hole ethrouh thr window in the course of the scuffle. They dumped her on the ged, tied her to a post, and then left her. I told her abdut the thumps we had heard, and she said she had been thrashing around, trying to get free, until that woman came up and told her to keep quiet." Irish shook her head slowly. "You know, you can't exactly blame Barry for being a little unstrung by all this. Do you suppose the girl ties in with whatever you're doing?" "1 don't know . . . Hope she and Barry get to his house safely. I should have told him to get off the main highway," "Well, I wish 'em luck! De we go on delivering our newspapers now?" "We do." "That's nice." She sighed contentedly. contentedly. "What time is it?" "Few minutes to twelve." He looked down at her, then once more put a strong, firm arm about lier. She snuggled up against him. Her eyes fastened on his slender brown hand on the wheel. She bent her head slowly, and pressed a soft kiss upon the back of it. instantly, she gasped, for there came a terrific shriek of brakes, the car swooped to à protesting stop at the edge of the road, and she felt herself clasped against Ronnie's chest in a. crushing grip. For a moment, his dark eyes flamed down.into hers. Then he bent swiftly and kissed her--kissed her long and ard. Her lips told him what he wanted to know . . . Presently, he released her and, without a word, returned to the matter matter of driving. For a few minutes, there was silence. Then lie spoke, in a voice not entirely steady. "Now will you be good!" "Yes," said Iris. "Darling! " Nothing of moment happened in. the city, although Iris' heart, pounded as she lay curled up in the back of the car, under the shelter of the robe, while Ronnie went into an -apartment house to deliver his bag. To her intense intense relief, he was gone not more than ten minutes. When he came back, he wasted no time in getting the car under way. He let some three or four blocks go by, and then called to Iris across his shoulder. "All right, you in the baggage car. We ought to be safe now!' She scrambled over beside him, tousled and flushed,, and he went on. "That whole trip was a fake or I'm a Chinaman! Parker was so surprised that the bag hadn't been tampered with that it was funny ! He's certainly no actor, But I wish 1 knew whether they really suspect me, or whether they are just trying me out." Iris sighed. "And I wish T knew just what this is all about," "Well, said Ronnie, "I suppose FIRST CHOICE FOR THOSE Who ROLL THEIR L OWN wx8SB* Ilillllli mft i§!§ $ m 1 gdSHM PHILIP MORRIS I'd better tell you.

I'm trying trying to get the goods on him and his gang." "But," said Iris, "who do they think you are?" '. "Oh, just a bright young fellow with a burning desire to be a sports promoter! promoter! Tonight's trip was supposedly supposedly to deliver about $40,000 to this fel low Parker to bet tomorrow. That's what they. said. I thought it was some 'queer money' to be circulated. Now I think we were both wrong!" It was nearly two A.M. when they flew past the roadhouse. Through the broken window, a light now gleamed. The absence of the prisoner had obviously obviously been discovered. Ronnie grimaced. A guilty conscience conscience leads mo to suspect that we had better travel. The old woman has probably drawn her own conclusions --- and described us!" Then, suddenly, lie swore under his breath and slowed down. The radiator was growling ferociously, and the needle was well up in the red. Iris said, "That's helpful!" and she threw an apprehensive glance behind the car. Ronnie was trying to remember the whereabouts of the nearest service station. "There ought to be one around here somewhere." ■ "I'm not sufficiently acquainted with this highway as yet to remember," remember," Iris said. "I wonder --" She stopped abruptly and made a dive for something on the floor of the car that had knocked against her foot. It was a purse, and the initials "J.A." gleamed in silver from a lower corner. corner. She - looked at Ronnie. "Juanita's?" "Must be! Open it and see if there is a card." There was. And it said, in flowing Spencerian script, "Miss Juanita Brand Arkwright." A startled exclamation came from Ronnie's lips as Iris read the name aloud.
