to persuade himself he was all right,

was anxious on that point himself. At

was put on the wire with headquar-

to be the one wanted had been driven
into Central park by the police a few
minutes earlier.

struck the floor he whirled and landed

like a piston rod with short-arm jolts
against the battered face Gasplng for

Clay got to his feet and waited for
him to rise. His enemy rolled over
and groaned.

irregular breathing of the man on the
floor who was clawing for air In his
lungs.
'.I'll ask you once more where Kitty
Mason Is. And you'll tell me unless
you want me to begin on you all over
again."
The beaten pugiist sat up. leaning
against the wall. He felt ashamed and
dlsgraced by his defeat. Life for him
had lost its SAVIOR. for he had met his
master.
"She-got away"
"How?"
"They turned her loose, to duck the
bulls" came the slow, siIllen answer.
"Where?
I'm Central park"
Probably this was the truth. Clay
reflected He could take the mans
word or not as he pleased. There was
no way to disprove it now.
He recovered his revolver. threw the
automatic out Of the window and
walked TO the door.
'Joe's tied up in back ROOM" he
said over his shoulder.
Thirty seconds later Clay stepped
into the street. He walked across to
n subway station and took an uptown
train.
Men looked at him curiously. His
face was bruised and bleeding, his
clothes disheveled. his hat torn. Clay
grinned and thought of the old answer:
They'd ought to see the other
