This out-of-the-way tourist camp, deep in Cenada's New Brunswick, looked tike e natural for Roeky, aranted in a dozen states, with 15,000 for the one wrho turnad him in. Pat diance? They probably wane still tooMag for a blue eadan with Illinois plates. This number, for Instance, came from Arttopa. The old btrd wtie owned it never would ^quawk. A guy was a sucker on a kmely rood to offer e stranger a lift "You're a pal, mister," said Rocky. He stuck a gun in the old boy'e ribe. "Drive down the side _ road and behave yourself and everything will be lovely." The man. his fnc# gray-green, drove down a " narrow- track and at the end was arf abandoned quarry with lota of water. Rocky drove the coupe back alone. He had the money and passport. He wes Phillip Sumter. It was eesy for Rocky to forget him end s dozen like him. He was looking forward to some home-cooking and a soft bedv Hf turned the corner of the drive and saw a white house with meny gables--Robin's Nest. Sure looked comfy. Cabins here and there among the willows. "Ob-obt" A tctrlt! tunic ttiJttng to m old lady in Htu on it* step*. Rocky fttl lb* gun mnitr bit armpit. Nothing to worry about. When Rocky stopped the car, the old lady came briskly down. The Mountie went into the house, "pood day, sir. Welcome. I'm the proprietress-- one of them. Miss Abby Stubbs. My sister Rachel and I run Robin's Rest. You'd like dinner, a cabin--" "Sure," grinned Rocky. "Sure Miss Abby--I want the works. Chicken and hot biscuite and coffee--" s "Very good sir Here's the key of No 4, the cabiifby the pond. Dinner will be ready when you are, Mr.-- "Sumter--P. H. Sumter." Rocky's gray eyes never left the smiling, old blue ones. "Wk% so glad to have you. Mr. Sumter. You have no idea." Miss Abby actually dimpled. "Swell," said Rocky. Just the aame, after he had washed up he did not go directly to the front but strolled around to the rear. I SAW HIM first." Dear. Sweet old Miss Abby's voice. "I spoke to him first. It's the money earit's the one that pays." "Abby Stubbs? I noticed first I sweer I did. You never even got 'You're trying to ehaat a>e, him to regiater. That's what you ware auppoeed to do--." "You're trying to cheat me. I know you, Rachel." v "We'll call it a tie. We'll aplit the money--" Harpies both of them! Rocky atraightened up. "1 have the proof," crowed Miss Abby. "I was talking to Corporal Renault. Ha stooned for dinner, i told him, and he's waiting and. when Mr. Sumter comes in--Well, I'm not going to wait; I'm geing to gel the corporal now." That was why Rocky pulled tin gun on Corpora] Renault when they met at the corner tit the house. "Not ao easy, copper," Rocky snarled and stared at the two trembling old sisters behind the Mountie's broad back. "Those old dames can fighi some more over the $9,000 prize I'm not caught yet Damn you--" That Mountie was a funny cop He didn't look boyish any more though he still was smiling. And he didn't back up. He kept righi on coming. The gun roared but it* muzzle was knocked up and a fist caught Rocky in the middle. He was still on the lawn when he ctme to and there was a familiar feel about his wrists. Bracelets. "Wttt, Jft i ptmeb* I gmu," uid Rocky.
