an appreciative glance at his en-

Then he gasped. for Carara slowly
drew from inside his shirt a long,
thin-bladed knife bearing marks Of re-
cent grinding. and his black eyes
snapped. His face had become sud-
denly convulssd. while his voice rang
with the tone Of chilled metal. Glass

themselves upon the weapon with hor-
Iified intensity.

the Mexican pierced his victim. II

Speed, who had sat in open-mouthed
amazement during the scene, pinched
himself. Like Larry, he could not re-
move his gaze from the swarthy man.
He pulled himself together with an eff.
fort. however, undertaking to divert
the present trend Of the conversation.

asked. pleasantly. more to make con.

pact was not unravcled until late this
morning. -
Gross' came here from Franklin. Iud.
