Colwell risks his life to gather evidence by playing one against lumber. “Had a little fracas, nothing much. What do you hear from Otto-is he still hunting?" Vael nodded. "Saw in the pa- per yesterday a note that Otto shot a buck." A lynx-eyed chap with quiet manners and the air of a family man and home-lover, Vael tried a smoke ring. "Guess you’re still on that case for Mrs. McDonald, eh? Funny they have- n't got the two mugs that killed him. Prominent lawyer and all. One of them was found in an al- ley, you know." As Colwell merely shrugged the visitor hunched forward. "Say, what did you want me here for, Dan? You’ve something up your sleeve. I haven't much time, so spring it." There was a short silence. "All right, I'll put it plainly for you. McDonald, you know, was the boss of a snow smuggling ring." -- Gi.rArihurrieefiontud 'yt Vac! whistled. "What do you think of that." "And Otto Graber 'rtt9--M-- mixed up in this ring. You too, Tael. Don't lie'." he charged as the man started to protest. "Don't let's mute words. I've got some- thing to help you. so there's no use getting tough! You're in it, Vael-you're one of the smaller fry. Graber treats you like dirt, always haf, always will.' ' -ii;e" Héréying - complexion of Vaol‘s face was ample proof that he knew it to be true. "i've seen it and filed it away for referenee. Now, you aren't a bad sort. I like you a heap better than Graber. He's--" Dan raised a hand to his head and ruefully rubbed a spot there still trader. "You're all right, Vael, but they're making a sucker out of you. Had rubbed a spot there still tnder. "You're all right, Vael, but they're making a sucker out of you. Had it planned before McDonald kicked the ghost. Now they're making new plans and leaving you out just like before. And more than that: they'll likely make you the goat if anything goes wrong. 1You"niisst have suspected this. Yael," he nppealed with a ges- ture. “Shucks, I'm not telling you anything, am The visitor struggled with con- flicting emotions. "How do you know? You’re not in the deal l" Colwell admitted this with a shake of his head. "Happened on- to it from working for the agency you and Otto run. From this Me- Donald ease. Anyhow, I know it. And I like you, Vael. Enough to ask you here so I can give you the low-down and a warning. So you can protect yourself." Nobody Truth Anybody Vael considered carefully. The ash of his cigarette grew very long and finally tumbled to the carpet unheeded. "It's--true," he said with a sigh. "With McDon- ald gone, nobody trusts anybody else. It's dog eat dog. What are you after, pan He smiled. "A sale. Told you to bring a thousand cash, and I hope you brought it. Look here: I'm not peddling snow. Gosh I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole! But they're out to hook you and each other, if they can. Now, I don't know what yarn they told you. how the stuff was coming in. But I've trot it straight. For five hundred I'll hand it over.

But at length the visitor roused himself, stood up, And pro- duced five crisp one hundred dol- lar bills He placed them on a emall table which was an equal distance from the chair of etch.

"What else? Which way's the prufic coming?” "'2'fiuGisrh the Anawanda , along the Indian. Highway." Vael's fury redoubled. "Whatl" he ejaculated. "Why, those dirty carps claimed it's over the Tale. graph Road'. Of all the double. crossers, the yellow livered double- crossers! And they think they can shake me out like that, eh? But listen, what about the truck license number? Mae had that and . . . You haven't it, have you, Dan?” he wheedled. Colwell grinned "For five hundred." "iitiGiiG/itation, Vael placed the sum on the table making a cool thousand. _ - _ "Now feel under the table and take out those thumb tacks. It's there. Here, I will." He rose and stepped to it. His hand went un- der the table. A gun prodded his back. "Stick 'em up, you fatheadl" He stiffened, growling. Vael's laugh was bitter and taunting. "You sap'. Pull me here with a fairy story, will you?” lie snatch- ed the crisp hundred dollar bills and stuffed them into a pocket. "Now back off. Careful'. I want that license number, Colwell, and the boys are waiting downstairs for it. Hell' they're such dubs they couldn't get it off you! Let you go on a fake 'phone call from Har- ry Deane, eh? I'll take .nat license number, Colwel1 . . . and then polish you off like Otto should've a couple days ago '." While he talked he fumbled un- der the table and with his other hand held a deadly bead on his victim. But Vael's triumph turn- ed slowly to suspicion. He fum- bled harder, more anxiously, seemingly unable to find what he sought. "Drop that gun!” It was a feminine voice from the kitchenette. At first Vael paid Peasant dolls-what a hit they will make with some, youngster - with a grown-up too, for they're highly decorative. Bright scraps do for the clothes, simple to cut.

The small apartment rocked with the explosion. There was a yell of pain, the metallic elink of a gun striking the hard composi- tion floor that helped make the place sound-proof. Vael huddled with his wrist between his knees and blood trickled down his fore- arm where the ripped sleeve ex- posed it. . Dan had out his own gun in I flash. The wielder of the weapon that had been fired did not appear. The slender, white arm withdrew into the kitchenette. Colwell backed to Vael’s gun. Getting it, he kept his own levelled while he got the cartridges out of it, and tossed it to Vael. "The Doll-Making Season's On," Says Laura Wheeler. "Get Started!” "Get out!

Anyhow, I'm sure going to find out if there are any brush- es coming in from Holland, and if so we'll have the whole story, time, place. and all!" Colwell sat beside the driver of the black coupe admiring her pro- file dimly seen. He smiled as he reflected lrita was a good sport, plucky and daring. She had to be for the game they were in. She was the kind who could hold her own in a drawing room, a hovel, or in a dangerous gamble like this --though Dan thought he prefer- red having her in a drawing room. It was dark all around them, the sky a murky mass of ominous clouds, the heavy trees an effatient camouflage for the car drawn off the road with its radiator pointed to the highway. Colwell held his palm over the glowing stub of his cigar. Irita beside him seemed listening and watching intently. "l hope they've coming." She changed posture. "I'rn tired of waiting. And how do we know there's all the money in it you think? Just a guess, Dan. I al- most wish I had I soft job selling hosiery over a counter, or laundry soap or something. Twenty a week might be better than trying to collect thirty-flve or forty grand apiece from two men who maybe haven't that much any- how." Colwell grinned in the darkness and squeezed her hand on th", wheel. "They've got it, all nigh. They didn't set up in this game just yesterday; they've made plenty.

I'm surprised you’re still alive. You’re so ambitious, Dan, that it leads you from one scrape to another, doesn't it? Oh!" she broke off. "There goes a truck!” "Not the one." He watched the big canvas covered vehicle rumble out of sight around a turn in the road, its red tail light disappear- ing as though wiped out by an in- visible hand. They waited. Ten minutes poss- ed. The rumble of another heav- ily laden truck reached their ears and presently its white headlamps swept the concrete highway. Irita looked intently at Colwell but again he shook his head. Another, and a fourth truck pused. Suddenly through his side window, Dan saw 1 flash of light straight up into the blaek sky.

Silhouette For Spring Uncertain PARIS. - Spring fashions, as forecast by the Paris midseason openings, take more than one loaf from nature's notebook. The sil- houette appears in a state of flux which parallels the metamorphoses of the advancing season. The waistline is slipping, sleeves are swelling, decolletages are variable, the hemline is breaking up. All this sounds portentous, not to say ominous, but the present style is diverting and the future looks smart, if slightly uncertain. SIMPLE SIT-DOWN EXERCISES Many correspondents plead that they are too busy to devote pro- longed periods each day to strenu- ous exercises. They ask tor exer- cises that, while beneficial can be sandwiched into odd moments of the day. Here, thevetore, are some lit-down exercises. To strengthen abdominal mus- cles: sit with body erect, feet flat on floor, and pull in the abdominal muscles " hard as you can, trying to make the trout muscles touch the spine. Do this about ten times. then rest tor a few moments. Re. peat frequently during the day and see how your posture improves. To strengthen the abdomen and back: sit erect with knees apart and hands on knees. Bend head tor. ward, round the back and pull in abdominal muscles hard. Then lift entire upper torso trom pelvis up ward, keeping abdomen flat, push lower back forward. draw chest up and out and raise head up and back and do NOT hunch shoulders. Feel the pull from the lowest vertebrae of the spine. Do this five times. rest and repeat five times. Mk” These exercises can be carried out at odd times when you are eit- ting down - and you'll be surprlr ed how many opportunities you will tind as each day in“: along!
