June said nothing, but her eyes we're
luminous and thoughtful. Her fingers
were toying with the pair of hand
cuffs on the desk, and suddenly she
picked them up and looked at them.
At that moment someone turned the
handle of the door leading to the out
er Office
At the sound Gordon raised his head
and met the frightened look in June's
eyes.
I'm going to give myself up. any
way" he said indifferently.
mo! NO." whispered June We
hemently. You mustn't give yourself
up now! I'm going to help you!"
Then the knock came a second time,
followed by little pause, and after
that the sound of retreating footsteps.
June moved quickly to the hall door
and Gordon followed. June opened
the door and looked out into the hall
then suddenly drew back. shutting
and locking the door.
It's Gage!" she whispered breath
lessly. And he's making for this
! door, now"
Before the words were fairly out of
her mouth, the hall door was tried A
moment later there was a crash of
splintered glass and Gage peered into
the office through the Jagged opening
his determined elbow had made He
saw no one, however, for the very
! good reason that June and Gordon
we're f1attening themselves against the
wall on the side nearest the door.
Gage then decided to reach through
the opening and unlock the door from
the inside. June, catching a glimpse
of his entering arm, slipped quickly
to the desk and picked up the hand
cuffs, then tiptoed hurriedly to the
door as Cages hand CROPPED for the
key. An instant more and she had
deftly snapped one of the handouts
around Cages wrist and with trem
bling fingers snapped the other on the
door knob.
June caught her wrist bag and
gloves from the desk and, signaling to
Gordon to follow her, unlocked the out
er office door and slipped into the cor
ridor.
AS they hurried on-With Gordon a
bit in the rear-June nervously thrust
her right hand into it's glove; she
didn't intend to have Gordon Or any
