'I'll take me chance on that" was
her retort.
But you're losing your chance.

Legar did not complete that SEN
tence. Instead. he leaped suddenly to-
wards the girl with the firearm, for
he had noticed her dress sleeve catch
In the screen-door hook. This had re.
suited In the momentary DETECTION Of
that ever-menacing revolver barrel
and Legar's long fingers had encom-
passed that weapon before she could
level It again. With q quick turn or
two y had twisted It out Of her hand.
Then he caught her by the shoulder
and swung her fiercely about.
Nov, my girl I'm going to tell you

revolver, STOPPING closer to her In the
moonlight. "You think I'm an enemy

Legar turned and nodded pregnantly
toward the cellar where he knew

tested the now terrified girl.

the best way to get her out here is to

and wine and bring 1t back with her
In her own car. She knows you belong

she won't be suspicious. You do your

The youthful eyes which life had al.
ready left hard studied the sinister
figure In the moonlight.
"And when l get her out to that
sluiceroom, what're you goin' to do
with her?"
The one-armed man laughed quietly.
That's something strictly between
her and me-" was his calmly enunci-
ated reply as he stepped slowly back
and disappeared through the shrub
berry beside the O'Mara cottage.
The girl stood staring after him
without moving. So intently did she
look after that vanishing figure that
she did not observe a second figure,
even more mysterious than the first,
as It slipped out of the shadows and
stepped quietly up beside her.
She turned with a start and stared
up at the stranger confronting her.
And It did not add to her peace Of
mind to discover that this stranger
wore mask over his face.
What d. you want here?" was her
brusque demand.
I'm looking for young girl who
happens to be in trouble" was the
quietly spoken reply.
Then l guess you'll have to keep
on travelin." announced Peggy as she
swung up the broken steps with as
sumed nonchalance, strobe in through
the door. and shut it after her. She
stood there for several minutes before
venturing to move. Then she silently
reopened the door and stared out, to
make sure that her visitor had taken
his departure. Instead of catching
sight Of the masked figure, however,
she was Q little startled to see the
one-armed man push his way in
through the bushes and once more
creep to the door where she stood.
What did that man want?" quick
ly demanded the newcomer.
II didn't wait to ask him." was the
girls retort.
mo, | guess this isn't q time for
waiting" ruminated the other aloud.
And for that reason we'll have to
speed up that bargain of ours, and put
the thing through tonight"

tion the expsdiency of her midnight
mission. Yet as she looked at the un-
happy and hcllow-eyed girl at her side
she felt sure that her journey, odd as
1t had at first seemed to her, could not
be altogether mistake. The girl was
honest, Of that there could be no ques-
tion. for she had journeyed many long
miles to restore a trivial bit of jewelry

accept money. She had even seemed
unwilling, after Margery had packed a
large motor hamper with Jelly and
milk and potted meats, to have that
luxurious young lady venture SO far
a-feld at such an hour of the night.
But Margery felt that It was a case
where the loss of time might possibly
