When the door of the Morgan Spen-
Ger mansion opened and shut and Bal
lard gave the whistle agreed upon ~
tho signal, the police rushed forward
to capture the thieves-but there was
no one in sight.
Black Mike did not wait for any
more. out bolted off through the gar
dens N the rear, thinking to find
Ballard waiting for him in the racing
car. Instead he heard the roar Of
the engine as 1t sped down the road
and the shots of the police as they
tried to stop 1t.
Ballard had double-crossed him.
He did not have much time to worry
over this. however. for cries and \
wild cofhmotion in the house told him
that the robbery had been discovered.
big policeman rushed out on the
porch and yelled: Oct him, boys!
He's fooled us. Spencers chloroformeo
and the safes robbed"
Mike did not need to be told whom
they meant. He knew he must get
ont of there and do it quick. Crouch
ing low. he crcpt out OF the grounds
by keeping in the shadow of the or
namental hedges and plants until ne
finally reached the road.
Here chance favored him. A car
was coming down the wide stretch
OF road with the driver as sole pas,
senger Attracted by the cries and
lights in the big house, he did the
most natural thing in the world, ne
slowed down so he could look back
That was exactly what Mike wanted.
Like a cat he sprang on the running
board and poked his revolver in the
mans chest.

manded the gangster.. and the fright

They had gone perhaps mile when

The result OF their increased speed
was that, on reaching the entrance

II had blown q tire or had been unable

Mike pressed his revolver n little
closer to the mans ribs, as he sat by

Moll sat with her hands over her

possible TO get away with 1t. But
/, what IL that chance spclt the ruin OF
all her young life?
She looked up at last out OF her
brown study to find that Bill had
tiptocd out He knew enough about
women to know she must fight this
out alone.
Mol still sat looking straight ahead
of her when the door opened once
moro and the chubby figure OF Billy
Little ran into the room.
"O-o-ol See what l founded" nc
gurgled, and as proud and happy as
only small boy can be, he laid in
her lap disrcputnblc puppy. wet
and muddy, with a ragged bit OF
cord hanging from its neck.
Molrs overwrought nerves snap
pod. Take that dirty, horrid dog
out OF here this instant''' she began.
but never got any further. for with
from his baby heart, Billy Little
flung himself face downward in hor
lap.
"O-o- d-d-o-n-t love meet 90
don't love my pup-p-py!' he walled
dcspairingly. His little frame shook
with the passionate tears of child
hood at her unaccustomcd rough
ness.
At the nearness OF his warm grief
shaken little body Moll became con-
scious of feeling which swept
through her like flame and melted
her heart like leo in tho springtime.
with Groom OF tenderness she
dropped to her knees. pressed tho lit
tic face close to hers and gently
kissed his tears away.
II was thus that Ballard found
them when he softly opened the door
and without stopping much to
think about 1t he gathered her In
hie arms.
