"I'm going with you,’ she re- peated stubbornly.

“Then I'll have to tell you why W11 091W. my dear. You've guesed llkht. I'm going out to Fairiawn and I'm going into that house. There is something there I must. h‘! to find."

“Does it belong t4) you, Larry?"

"That's a question. It may not even be in existence. But I owe it to some one to take the chance.

"But, Larry. wouldn't the man who owns the house now iet you look for what you want? If you explained it was your father's?"

A grim laugh was her answer. "You're slluolus. Jack. Didn't you see that fence? And the gentleman prowling around."

“Theh You can't possibly get in thew. LBFIY. You might get , , . hurt!"

"I'm not worrying over that, my dear. It will be more serious if I'm caught. I'll be sent up for trespass, burglary and whatnot. Unless my pocketbook is long enough to drag it out in the courts. If I can lay hands on what I want . . . Well, I Won't hive to bother about that." “What was Vince going to do w- lllsht?" Jaoque w askcdouietly. "He knows less than you do,’ Inrry assured her. “He was going along and wait for me. If I didn't show up, for any reason. he was going to take the car to town and Maori to my lawyer . . . to ash- ne.

“You mean . . ."

"I don‘t know what I mean . . .

"Do you think it was easy for me, Jack. To know that you were suspicious of me .. . , and with every reason in the worldill had to do what I did. I didn't dare confide in embody.

A tense excitement held her, mak- ing it difficult to analyse her thoughts. A strange mixture of fright and remorse held ha‘ cap- tive. Fear for Larry, remorse that she must havemisiudged him, He had read her intentions rightly. She did have some wild, vlgue idea of deterring hlin fiom his mission by her presence. But it was different now. If he were» in danger, it was her right to be st his side, sharing. That was all that seemed to matter at the moment. She did not try to make herself admit any other rea- son. Afraid of that, too. Afraid of, but not for, herself.

When the roadster finally nosed into the road leading to Fnirlawn. ban-y brought it to a sudden standstill and prepared to get out. "I want to put the top up," heex- plained. “It won't take but l. min- ute."

Then, when he was in the car again, he explained, “I thought it might change our appearance a bit, in case . . . ."

"I understand."

"I've been around here once or twice of late, Jack. Walked by on foot, after dark. I figured that your bald-headed friend would report to his chief that I had left town and that, possibly, the gorilla we saw out here would have been taken ofl the job after the excitement died. I think I was rlght- I scouted around pretty carefully and saw no sign of him. That will make it easier." "Are you real sure, Larry?" “Positive? He said it with an assumed cheerfulness. "When we got there, we'll coast by at a fair rate oi.’ speed. I'll be depending on your eyes. If we don't see anybody, we'll dothe same on the rear roe/d. Then I'll pank the car in an unused road I know of and see what luck I have with the fence."

"What are you going to do with me?"

"That's what's worrying me sick. You'll be perfectly sale in the car. Of course you don't know how to drive."

"I have driven a few times. If you'll show me how to start it . . . I might make out."

"I hate to take that chance. I

suppose a hard-boiled adventuress like you knows how to handle a gun. There's one in the door pocket beside you." _

"I'd be scared to death to touch ltl” Jacqueline shrank closer to him at the thought of it. Larry chuckled. "It is a bit difficult to think o! you in the role of a gun moll." "I'll be all right-I don't want you to worry about me. It isn't your fault that I'm here, you know." “Wish 1 could feel that way. We'll see."

When they neared the former Cutter home, Larry slowed his car a trifle.

“Keep a sharp watch." he cau- tioned in a low tone. “We'll have to depend on the lights. Wish it weren't so dark." ' They both strained their eyes, but saw no sign of the former guard. A survey of the rear oi the grounds gave the same result. A few rods

them to the unused road Larry had spoken of. He entered it and drove a few car lengths until the machine was screened in the brush, then ex- tinguished the lights. The iiwo of them found themselves straining‘ their ears for any sound, but deep silence prevailed all about.

Larry fumbled at the side of the seat cushion and reduced a flash- light. He dlrec its beam to the floor of the car and spoke in a low voice.

"You won't have any trouble with the starter. If you like, you can keep the motor running and throt- tied down, but it would be best not to. The noise, you know."

"I can start it"

"And you'll have to back out. Here's the reverse . . . like this. Now, when you're ready to start ahead . . . low, second, then high. Don't forget the way it goes." He ‘showed her again, then looked at his watch. "Twenty minutes of three. Here. you'd better keep this. It has an illuminated dial. I'll have to take the flash. I think you'd bet- ter give me until four . . . still be dark then. Try to make your way back to town and get in touch with Vince. He'll . . ."

"Larry!" Jacqueline whispered nervously.

"Well?"

"I . . . I can't stay here alone. I . . ." The words ended in some- thing perilously like a sob.

"But you'll have to now, dear. ‘There's no danger. I'll not be long. Buck up."

"It isn't that. I . . I love you,
