her hot, aching body, supporting her.
SELF upon an elbow. Experimentally,
she raised the other hand and pressed
hard upon her bandaged wound. She
felt the stiffness of blood -caked
fabric, then the sharp answer of
pain zigzagging through her head.

Of all the world, Crystal could have
chosen her rescuer. the man would

liked and understood her, and now

flung herself off the cot, dragged her
stiff, hot body toward the door. She
knew she could not make him hear

cot.
I'm here, Harry!" she gasped, as
she dragged herself up by the knob
OF the door. "I'm-locked-in!" All
her strength went into the effort.
and before the first blow which was
to break open the door was aimed
against 1t, the girl slumped to the
floor.
She had presence OF mind enough

reporter hurled his body against it,

The reporter drew out flashlight.
For q moment he did not have the
courage to press the button and re-
lease the light which might reveal
unspeakable horrors. When he did
force himself to do so, the brilliance
OF the sudden light made Crystal
shrink and close her eyes.

boys Mortified eyes. The girls brown
hair, which he had never seen with
out its deep. precise marcel waves,

soaked pink silk undergarment with
which she had clumsily bandaged her
wound. With her eyes closed, she
looked dead. Those great, hazel eyes

coyly twinkling their lure at any man
who would look at her.
Tears had cut paths down the
dried coating Of blood on cheeks
which he had never seen without q
heavy overlay Of powder and rouge.
The heavily lipsticked, Cupid's-bow
mouth was replaced by wide, fever
cracked lips. snarled back in q hide
GUS grimace Of pain over the broad
white teeth Of which Crystal had been
so proud.
The short lashes. innocent of mas

again at the impact Of light: then
the hazel eyes focused upon him With
the piteous appeal of q stricken ami
mails.
SO glad-you came. Wanted
