Colwoll risks his life to gather evidence by pinyin; one again“ another. CHAPTER XV "Look out.' Hey'." The truck driver careened his vehicle nearer the edge of the road at another mad hinge of her car. "keep away? Got that thing away from The second man leaned out. "Go on, honey-we don't want an accident," he begged. "Listen, this thing would bust your car to kindling. You too'." He all but pitched at the coupe as it veered at him and his comrade jerked the truck aside. The man shrank back inside the cab. here Irita went into a new sexier: of corkscrew lunges and a new series of gestures and calls. The coupe kept edging the big truck nearer and nearer the edge of the road. The driver was increasingly nerv- ous; his companion tonsely awaited the crash. It came. A final reckless swoop brought a harsh s:rape of tenders. The truck lurched away to avoid a bad smash-up. Its double rear wheels mired in the soft shoulder of the road and the driver abruptly was bereft of strength to get it back. There was a prolonged sucking sound, a series of yells and warn- ings from both occupants of the truvk~then a crash. Collision One headlamp shattered against a tree. A fender scraped its tire. The big five-ton truck with Acme Carriers, Ine., U. S. Customs Bond. rd, Permit 229, painted on her side, came to a dead halt. Irita also stopped. Colwell slipped un- seen out the far door, a long, keen edged knife in his hand. He hur- ried to the rear of the truck. -i/L..iiiGlk and crazy as-" Col. well heard. [rim climbed out with the air of a woman scorned and about to do something important. She car- ried a heavy wrench in one hand. "What d'you mean, runnin' into me?" she demanded shrilly as Ibo went to meet the pair. "What you talkin' about". Look- it that busted light!” the driver moaned, pointing. "Who's going to pay for that. huh'? Damn all drunken drivers! A woman, too. Why--" "Who says I'm a woman'? Who- saysit? I'm a lady. Thasswhat I am!" She straightened proudly. "I'm a lady. What you mean bend- ing my fender? Have you arrest- ed. Terrible driving. Want to kill me? Cantcha see where you're going?" She carried it out with zest, as if she enjoyed it. But it was hard, hateful work. hits declaimed, complained and berated them. She had the men perspiring. They be- gan to think she was right and that they were wholly wrong. Un- til at length she seemed to lose interest, and turned back to her coupe. _ “Teach you good lesson," she mattered crankily. "Do it again'n I'll have you angled}: _ _ With that she banged the door on her side, started up the motor, and backed gingerly from contact with the truck fender.

They wheeled at a fast pace down the concrete road. "Two hundred and fifty thousand in snow! Irita, that'll put ur,---" "Dan'." Her exelamation woo followed by a leap of the coupe that threw his head back. At the same instant she swerved aside. A sedan shot at them through the dark. It bore no light, and lrita, at sight of the thing lunging from nowhere, had to act with split-second precision. The cars seemed doomed to meet head-on; but at the last pos- sible instant the driver of the sedan twisted aside and Irita’s twist gave theltt a foot between. Glass tinkled. There was a thin spray on the girl's arm. Again it tinklcd as the second orange stab of flame came from the other ear. Its tires shrieked on the concrete. The car plunged like a piston to back and turn. The spray of the rear window stung Colwell's cheek. "rrita---step on it---they're turn- ing'. I'll give 'em something to chew on, but git! It's Graber and Quillen and Vael!" A Hunting Accident Colwell sat reading a newspa- per in his offiee on the eleventh floor of the Lawyers and Doctors Building, in the suite formerly cccupied by that well known de.. fender of criminals. Arthur Me- Donald. The opaque glass corri- dor door had been replaced by one of metal finished in imitation of walnut which bore the simple inscription: The Federalist. Tram. soms were of metal and immov- able. Such glass as the suite still boasted was bulletproof. Dan had treated himself to a box of fifty cent cigars of the brand Otto Grabet' smoked, one of which he puffed luxuriously as with his feet on the desk and powerful body tilted back in his chair, he absorbed the day's news. He took the cigar from his mouth, flicked ashes on the floor, and re- placed it. Sighing, he turned a page of his paper to read the Around Town colmn. " 'Word reached us today'," he read, " 'that Otto Graber, partner with Horace Vael in a local detee.. tive agency, suffered a hunting accident four days ago. Graber and a party of friends were start- ing from their camp near Ewing, Pennsylvania, early one morning when one of their guns acciden- tally discharged. Graber suffered a shoulder wound which local doe. tors pronounced not serious. Otto, well known as an aviation enthus- iast, expects to fly his Monogram plane back to be at his desk in the sleuth agency next Monday morning'." Dan puffed interestedly on his cigar as he re-rcad the item. His eyes squinted at the window. Gra- ber had a neat alibi worked up. Very good. Even to the “acciden- tal" discharge of a gun. Bat as a matter of fact the "aeeident" had occurred out on the Telegraph Road when Graber just barely missed getting that two hundred fifty thousand dollars worth of snow which Colwell now was of- fering to sell him for forty thous- and. CHAPTER XVI He tossed the newspaper on his desk, Yawned and stretched. It PATTERN 1909 ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO was tiresome waiting. Colwoll wished the boys would meet his price and get the thing over. Forty thousand from Cuber, forty also from Quillen. Each side acting in. dependently, the same Boston bag of snow sold both parties-- if it could be so worked-would net Colwell a sweet eighty grand. His telephone tinkled. "Graber or Quillen?" Dan asked without a moment's hesitation. "Oh, Lef- ty! I'm here till I get my price or rot. By the way, it goes up five thousand a day from now on. You fellows have to pay me for all the time I'm wasting. You thin': I on- joy putting off my little vaca- tion? About to replace the ear piece. he listened. A grin overspread his blunt thee at the torrent of heated curses. Dan felt gingerly of the adhesive tape crisscross on his head. "Certainly I'll sell to Graber! First come, first served. So you boys fell out again? Yes, yes, I know, Otto is ambitious that way. So it's every man for him- self now-and that goes for me too " An Appointment He listened a moment. "Never mind threats - ring me up when you’re bringing in the cash. Where can you make a buy like this? Sure, I know. But that two hun- dred and fifty G's wasn't all your money. What about McDonald and Graber and Vael? Probably Catterby too. "No, I'm sitting tight." Of I sudden his eyes kindled " the voice at the other end changed. "What, Okay? This afternoon at three?

Dan stirred at the summons of the buz- Ber. Re swung his feet from the desk, felt for the gun in his shoul- der holster, and moved for the door. But without touching its knob he stealthily opened a wire wall screen panel. The person outside could not see in, nor would any tiny pinpoints of light suddenly show through yellow kalsomine.

As more than once before he was struck by her regal grace and the simple, yet effective costume she wore. The little mat- oon hat tilted archly over her hazel eyes matched the rabbit-e hair maroon wool dress that show- ed through her open mink cost. It was chilly out today with the crisp tang of winter. Colwell smiled tmttreeiativelr., He thought a moment. Then he unlocked and unbolted the door. "Hello'.. Come in - if you're alone." He closed and locked the door with care.

You tell Graber I'm not coming down and he can send you back with forty or not at all." He spoke with impatience but it seemed not to register on the girl. She smoked her cigarette in silence.
