NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XLVI
Bob found Red In the press room a
the police court. Fortunately for Bob
there were no other newspapermer
about at the time. Because Red
when aroused. delivered himself o
considerable invective.
Now he greeted Bob d~erisively.
Hello, Romeo"
"Where's Molly" demanded Bob.
Molly? How should I know"
Red dropped his cigaret to the flool
and stepped on 1t. .
I'm glad you dropped In. Newton

~. Il want you to tell me where
Molly has gone with my child"
Not 50 FAST" soothed Red. And hi
exasperating calm Infatuated his per-

cigaret with insulting insouciance.
Bob glared at him malevolently.

Reds face crimsoned wrathfully
His temper among his intimates was
proverbial. But Bob had no way Of
knowing that. Neither did he know
that Reds smashing left was more or
less famous.
Suddenly q hairy fist caught him on
the chin. The probability Is that Boh
did not recognize It for q fist. De-
cause. at the moment It connected
with his chin. he closed his eyes. and
his powers OF observation forthwith
ceased to function.
After some moments he moaned
weakly. and tried to raise his head.
It collided painfully with the leg Of q
chair. Then. mercifully. he passed

BY using oaths that had never before

sub-consciouness. The ugly cpithetS
he used were applied entirely to Red.
on whom he vowed . deep and dread
full vengeance.
The men who were brushing him off
were newspapermen. They took the
affair with q very casual air, as
though they were used to finding un-
conscious people strewn all over the
place.
Better lay OFF Red" they admon-
ished. what chance have you got
against Z police court man? Mature
ally the boys will give him the breaks.
