INC. That all depends on you.
Angel Face" the woman told her
then. 1t was the same thing Ann
Schultz had called her. Had Ann
betrayed her? Was she in on IN? 1t
seemed so impossible. Then the
woman told her she herself had
faxed the phone call.
Rosalie fought for self-control and
weakly lay back on the couch.
Please tell me what do you want
me to do. Iu-Iu do anything in
the world"
What you are to do, baby, Is easy
as fallin' out OF an airplane," the
man twirled the little gun in his
hand You just 60 home and keep
your mouth shut and 90 back To
the store tomorrow and say nothin'.
AS long as you keep outa our busi-
ness and mind yours you amt got
a care in the world"
But Roy; what about him?
Please tell me what they are going
to do with him?" she begged them
again.
They won't do nothing the wo-
man assured her, If you do as we
tell you. They're Just takin' him
away for a little Jack"
"Oh, Dell-now why lie? Let's
tell her the truth. They took the
kid out to bump him off because he
knowed too much. They's no use
in both Of you dyin': you can't help
nobody by gettin' yourself killed.
They's plenty Of other rich guys.
Phillie Is full Of them"
RoSalie began TO sob then-wildly.
Roy was beyond all help. She
felt certain Martina would not dare
let him live after all Of this. Life
would scarcely be worth living with
out him. But she was young and
death seemed a dreadful, unbeliev-
able thing.
She sobbed brokenly for a few
minutes and they sat and waited.
When she sat UP weakly and wiped
her eyes-exhausted-the two felt
they had won. The kid was too
far gone with fright TO open her
mouth. They were safe.
Calm yourself, dearie. and get
the red out Of your eyes" the woman
said as unconcerned as though she
had been witnessing such scenes all
her life. I'VE can't take you back
to the street a line with your face
red as a boiled beet"
So-they were going to take her
10 the street car alone. How she
vas going to 60 on from day to day
with her burden hanging over her
was a problem she had already be-
gun to go yer IN her tortued mind.
Back TO the store. Back where she
had seen Roy every day with his
dear grin and laughing gray eyes
and the little wrinkle at the corner
Of his dear mouth.
Tears Of helplessnesS gathered In
her ewes. She was cornered. There
was no way for her to get out now.
"Gawd sakes. don't start 70 bluh-
her again." the voice Of the woman
struck Rosalie's ears with a rasp-
ing imnatience. I'VE can't stay here
500
all night
Rosalie stood I'D and swayed. The
man pulled a flask from his pocket
ard put It to her lips.
Here grille. take a drag at this
II was whiskev. She shook her
he'd when she smelled it.
TT amt bootleg. I amt goin' 70
poison you" he laughed then
"come on. It'll put YOU on your feet
"But I've never touched a dron Of
n in nv life" RoSalie hurst out al
him then. as though in protest that
he should assume her so reckless.
He said his eyebrows in a uues-
tion and turned to his partner In
crime.

museum. Dell"
"Oh. lets get the baby home tc
her crib" she laughed. cynicallv
