kins said. Lets wake him up.
Bring me some whisky. Deland."
Carter had come in with water in
a pitcher and a mass Of bed linen
which he handed to Joyce.
Tear this up he said.
Joyce snatched a little pair OF
scissors from the dressing table,
cut recklessly into the linen sheets
and then tore some long strips
which she handed to Hopkins.
The detective used them skillfully
to check the bleeding, then began
to lave Butch's face with water.
Carter came in with bottle of
brandy.
Better than whisky for this pur-
pose" he told Hopkins
Sure is" Hopkins said. Here"
to Joyce, you hold his head up"
Joyce obeyed and with Carriers
help they forced the unconscious
mans teeth apart and poured in
some of the brandy. Hopkins
showed Joyce how to lower the
head to make Butch swallow. Joyce,
held his head surrounded by her
arms and watched eagerly for some
sign Of life.
The two men waited with her and
after a few moments Butch gave a
long sigh.
Real stuff he muttered Then
he opened his eyes.
He lifted his right hand to touch
joys arm. Turning his head slight
ly his eyes met hers.
Didn't get away?' he asked
feebly. He began TO curse Carter.
"Never mind" Hopkins cut in. "I
seen the whole thing I want to ask
you some questions"
Butch looked at him for a mo-
ment. then recognized him with a
faint grin. Thought I left YOU back
in Cleveland he said speaking with
difficulty.

neat" Hopkins admitted wish I'd
been a little quicker about picking
YOU up again. I'd taken you back

involuntarily.

sharply. Cant you see he's in

Butch patted her hand feebly IAN

about me. Good OF YOU to stick

promise" said Butch.
Spit it out" Hopkins commanded
Get Joyce out Of here without
letting that skunk touch her" Butch
said, glancing in Carter's direction
Miss Daring is perfectly safe
now, Mr.. Seltzer," Carter said
courteously.
Joyce glanced at him. His words
and manner gave a dignity to the
grotesque scene. Butch sensed this.
Thanks" he muttered. Fire

CHAPTER XIV
The Shooting

"Open the window, Joyce" Butch
commanded.
Joyce went to obey him, looking
over her shoulder for any sign of
Garter as she did so.
The catch Slipped easily and in
a moment Butch was standing at
her side in the room.
do you want to get away"
Butch asked in a loud whisper.
Eyes. oh yes Joyce answered.
"There is a ladder there, under
the window. Climb down it. III
watch the door. My cars at the
turn of the drive. Run for it. Ill
be with you right away
Joyce hesitated Was she ex-
changing one danger for a worse
one?
Hurry" Butch whispered inlpa-
tiently. Don't be all night. | amt
gonna hurt you, Joyce. I'm taking
you to your mother"
Joyce felt her heart leap ITO
my mother?" she repeated.
Yes" he said. But hurry" He
gave her slight push toward the
window She looked down and saw
the top of the ladder leaning a few
feet below the window ledge. 1t
looked a fearful distance. She
climbed onto the windowsill and
thrust one foot out of the window.
Help me-" she said aloud TO
Butch. He turned to obey. At the
moment Of dangling her foot to
meet the ladder top both were ar.
rested by the sound Of a door open

Carter came into the room.
"Get away quick Butch shouted
to Joyce.
But Joyce was unable to move.
She saw Carter take a revolver from
his hip pocket His voice was like
cold steel when he spoke.
Get back into the room, Joyce,
he said
Like hell she will, Butch snarled,
whirling about and darting his hand
to his hip pocket.
Put EN- up" Carter went on. IL
mean it," Carter snapped as Butch
hesitated
Butch slowly climbed back into the
room like one hynotized
Come here" Carter commanded.

Joyce took Butch's hand in hers
proectively and he pressed it feebly.
Coin fast" he whispered.
Hopkins SIRED uneasily. 1t was
plain that Butch was dying
Tell me where Mrs, Daring is, "
he said to Butch.
Butch grinned family. Safe" he
murmured.
II know that said the detective
sharply.
She's in the old Wilson place out
at Gates Mills where she's been all
winter" said Butch. Second house
down the road after you turn out of
the village She's waiting for you,
expects to see you tonight. Joyce.
You better start" His voice grew
slower and more indistinct. Better
start-Joyce-"
I'm going to stay here until they
get doctor for you and you're feel
ing better" Joyce told him.
Don't - need - no - DOCTOR" he
faltered, a spasm OF pain passing
over his face.
"Gettin' awful-cold-," he shook
with sudden chill.
Joyce gathered him more closely in
her arms. Get some blankets, she
ordered Carter
She watched while Carter and Hop
kins arranged blankets and heard
Carter ask in low tone IL he should
call a doctor.
NO use" Hopkins answered
Hes only got a few minutes"
Butch opened his eyes again.
Sorry. Joyce he said. Took good

She flashed look Of anger at the

turned and left the room.
Butch moved and half raised him

reached up to touch her face Di-

Joyce had never heard this cold,
pitiless tone before. She was afraid
Of it. She saw Butch5s face work
as she went past him and toward
Carter. Just as she reached the
door Butch yelled and sprang at
Carter. Carter fired once, the shot
going wild Butch was graphing
with him, struggling to get the gun.
They swayed into the center of
the room. Some instinct urged Joyce
to run, to dash down the stairs and
to freedom leaving these two men to
fight to the finish. But she could not
move She watched them fascinated.
They were painting deadly quiet. life

Rugs were kicked aside. A chair
was knocked over. The breathing
Of two men became more labored.
Suddenly Butch relaxed his hold on
Carter in order to lunge at him.
Carter swung free and sidestepped
a vicious thrust from Butch. Like
a flash Butch's hand went to his
pocket. Carter fired Butch sank
to the floor, his gun in his hand.
Joyce thought she screamed. She
was never sure.

looked down at the wounded bandit.

spoke for the first time She felt
an enormous pity for Butch. He
had come to her aid. She must help
him il she could.

and went to lift Butch's head How

was suffering. She shivered and
knelt beside him

stopped over the wounded man. His
touch was gentle as he helped Hop
