"Jes' a minute" He took her by the
hand and towed her across the floor.
They were alone on the track near
the spot where Ammonia's three
catastrophes had occurred. Zero di-
rected her attention TO a glistening
section of the floor Immediately in
front of Semore's post. See that
"Uh-huh."
Feel it."
She applied a finger to the smooth
surface. It's slick" she said.
"Sho1y it is. Ammonia Now look
heah." He picked up the can of pow
dered chalk which Semore had used
and sprinkled a bit Of the floor. Rub
that" he commanded.
She did so, and Immediately the
floor became slippery where the rub
bing occurred.
What is it, Zero?"
It's thisaway," he explained. Sc
more Mashby knowed that / an you

rink, an he hggered that ifn he
could git you so disgusted with
skatin that you wouldn't never be

deep breath. "All what that man

chalk out of that can and put pow
dered wax in it instead. He knowe ed
you was the on'y lady which could
skate good enough to take them
turns close-an'so-ev'y time you
made this curve yo' skates hit that

She was all for committing man
slaughter right then and there. And
while Zero personally removed her

Semore's perfdiousness

Ammonia was angry. Laugh at her,
would they? She determined to make
a runaway race of it right there. Her
feet fairly twinkled as she rounded
the curve and shot by Semore's post.
And then it happened again. Only
this time it occurred twice as forci-
BILE. The crowd shrieked with laugh
ter. The other skaters, swinging
wide to avoid the PROSTATE figure,
shot by She noticed the other wom-
en- on the far turn-all swinging wide.
She alone had the knack of holding
the inside without slackening speed.
And, just when she would have re-
tired from competition, Semore bent
over her eagerly

Meekly she turned to obey, but as she
swung out in pursuit of the others
his voice came to her ears in well
meant advice:

when Semore took the lease in his

though he had done SO in the name OF
partnership, and that the benefits OF
the low rental We're his as well as
Semore's. She'd tell him all that-be-
cause she despised Semore as the
author of her miseries.
She was stroking mechanically now,
head swimming, body aching from TOO
violent contact with the floor. Her
triumph had fizzled She was tasting
gall and wormwood. Perhaps even
Zero would have none of her now
The thought hurt
Her speed was not yet gone. She

raised his pistol and fired. Hamilton

have considered the most remarkable
appendicitis operation in medical
