Did Mamie Really Signal a Truck
 on the Road?


 on the Road!
 When Mamies hand flashed up in a gesture toward the big truck, which had just passed us headed in the op- posite direction. l slowed down my car drew it to the side Of the road, and with one eye watchfuIly upon the girl beside me, looked back at the retreating truck.
 It was as l had suspected. The men on the truck, except the driver, were clustered at the rear Of the big machine and looking intenuy after us, while the speed of the car had been reduced to a crawl In d sud den panic, threw in my clutch, put my foot upon the gas and sent the car along the road at a rapid rate
 Whats the matter?' To my eX- cited imagination there was somc- thing like chuckIe in Mamie s voice.
 Nothing" answered curtly. Put your head down and keep it down"
 She obeyed me, but l had the un- easy feeling that she did it only be- cause sine chose, not because she felt any longer that she felt she must. That it was useless either to accuse her of signaling 10 the men on the truck or to quiz her concerning their identity. l knew very well. But was sure that she did know at least one of the men, and with little ter rifed thrill, I remembered the member of the bootlegging gang who, after almost killing rival, had hidden in the home of Mamie's parents and made his escape from there.
 Mamie Swiftly Changes
 The huge machine was a bootleg ging truck. l was as sure of that now as l was that we were in the lonely stretch between the Moriches and Patchogue, and that the dusk was coming on faster than had counted on.
 All the tales I had heard Of the desperate character of these modern outlaws flashed fearfully into my mind, and my brain began 10 run around in circles as I tried to force 1t to some scheme whereby I could escape them should my fears prove true and they turn around in pursuit of us.
 IL was not so much harm to my self l feared-althoueh I knew these men were supposed to believe firmly In the old adage concerning the inn possibility Of dead men revealing any thing-bnt all the obstinacy in my nature was aroused by the possibility Of Mamie and the fur cloaks getting away from my custody before I had the opportunity of turning over the discriminating suitcases to Lillian.
 Mamie had feared my turning her over to the police only until this truck appeared. I could feel that as plainly as if she had told mo so in SO many words. knew that 10 her ignorant mind the power which the men pn the truck spelled far out % weighed that of any police force.
 l thought or turning off the main road, then dismissed the idea as quickly. I know nothing Of the lone iy dirt roads which traverse the middle of the island, while the mon in the truck, if they should bo fol- lowing. would know every inch Of sll thorouehfnres
 There was but one thing to do travel as rapidly as I could to fatchoRus. take Mamie and the shit. eases into 2 small hotel there, and .
