The sound OF the pursuit came
from well down the alleyway now,

himself over the fence, dropped
without a sound into the alleyway,

OF loot would therefore ultimately
avail him little.
He laughed out harshly in grim,
mirthless facetiousness. Logically
then, 1t made small difference
whether he had been hit or not!
1t was his head. and not his feet,
that must be depended upon to
save him! If he could only get
out OF the immediate neighborhood
yes, that was 1t and his

all, his head seemed possessed with

He reeled again. Then his teeth
clamped hard, and the sheer nerve
of the man asserted itself. and
fought back the pI ely physical
weakness. There was a way at
least chance, perhaps a desperate
chance, but still a chance-if the
alleyway. that was just ahead now,
was dark enough, and If.
A yell, chorused wildly, went up
from behind him, and bullet struck
the pavement with an angry spat,
as Billy Kane swerved into the
alleyway And again he laughed,
gasping out the laugh in n sort of
desperate relief. Yes. the alley
way was black enough, he could
not distinguish an object twenty
yards ahead: and that other "if,"
something that would furnish tenn
porary sanctuary, was here, too,
at his right--and five yards in from
the street, he sprang for the top of
a board fence, flung himself over,
dropped down on the other side,
and lay motioniess upon the ground.
1t was a matter OF seconds-no
more. The pursuers swept into
the alleyway, and tearing down its
length. shouting as they went,
rushed by that spot, so innocently
close to the street, where their
quarry lay.
And now Billy Kane was on mis-
feet again, and cautiously, silently,
raised himself to the top of the
fence once more. He had counted
on just this exactly. It was simply
what was naturally to be expected,
and he knew no elation on that

when the issue was forced by

but even n he were seen for an
instant as he leet the van, he would
not be running any very great risk,
for he would be out Of sight again

could bo riveted upon him; and,
besides, In that miserable and
sordid quarter man might do
many things out Of the ordinary:
for instance, dive suddenly into

He jerked his slouch hat over
his eyes, flung off the sacking,
dropped to the ground, and slipped
across tho sidewalk into the lane.
And now he was running again.
He reached tho next intersecting
street, and was forced TO draw
back under cover to wait for an
opportunity to cross unnoticed.
And then the chance came, and he
continued on down the lane on the
opposite side of the street again.
Marcos was the second store In
from the next corner on the street
that paralleled the lane, and hah
way down he stopped running and
began to move forward cautiously.
II was very black in here, and he
wished now that he had looked at
his watch when he had had the op-
portunlty; but 1t must be some
where around ten o'clock. II was
two hours. then. since he had over
heard that telephone conversation
in which Laverto had said that all
he cared was that the man to whom
he was telephoning should be away
from Marcos before a quarter OF
eleven.
Billy Kane was crouched now in
the darkness against the back door
OF the secondhand shop. The
chances were that whoever La
verto had been telephOning TO had
already been here and gone. Ger
tainly two hours would have given
any one ample time. and as Laverto
had said that Marco did not keep
open In the evening there would
have been no cause for delay on
that score.
He placed his ear 10 the panel
or the door and listened. There
was no sound and he tried the door.
II stuck a little In spite OF it's
broken lock, and gave with a slight
squeak. Billy Kane drew In his
breath sharply and listened again.
There was still no sound. He
closed the door behind him and
