But Mary could see no reason

so. They quarreled then, Iris
saying cutting, supercilious things
and Mary giving back as good as
she got. They were not speaking

He laughed, glancing uncasily

when her cousin put her hand up
and ran it over the flaming hair.
What do you think of him.

Funny how she can do that to

q jinx, now? And he glanced
over his shoulder, feeling the cold
touch Of that superstition that be-
sets the underworld and indeed
all those of any world whose fate
is dependent upon the whim of
Lady Luck.
Mary Smith did not look like
a jinx, coming to guy so
friendly and sort of on the up-

Molly hung up the receiver and
pOndered. What was it to her If
one gang of rum runners got the
hcSt of another or not? She was
about to telephone the message on
to Nick as pCrfunctory duty.
Then n thought flashed through
her mind. If Nick was suspicious
of her here was her hance to

he was leaving with Sig RolSer.

Nick the news of the coming of

about as yet. But she knew that
Nick and his men were somewhere
in the night shadows along the
road. For they were nearer this
spot than she was when she
started and this would be where
they would wait for the rum
trucks that dared invade Nick
BruZzi's domain.
Jumping out Of her car she ran
in front of it and stood revealed
in the glare OF it's headlights.
When the rum trucks arrived-as
they should any moment now
they would find the road blocked
by her. 1t was the only way to
bring Nick out OF the shadows to
her.
1t did. A strong arm cMtched
her and Nick's voice came in
snarl.

about down a side road.
But she got her wish, to be
with Nick in the coming fight.
From up the road approached a
rumbling Of heavy motors. The
twin headlights Of huge trucks,
tarpaulin-cOvered, the first OF a
procession, cut the darkness of
Sherman Boulevard. On the seat
of each truck three men were hud-
died in greatcOats. The sound of
the motors was a steady thunder
now.
Suddenly the night was slashed
with squirting revolver fire, con-
verging on the first truck. In.
stantly the trucks replied with
drumming of machine gun fire,
from under the tarpaulins.
The foremost truck made a wild
plunge in a quarter circle and
crashed into steam roller parked
by the side of the boulevard. The
roar of an engine gone wild added
to the din Of reVolvers and ma
chine guns.
The caravan of trucks stopped
and from the dark up the road
men came running to help the
crews Of the leading trucks. An
auto parked in the side road
threw on a powerful beam of
light. In its white shaft of
. illumination lay three men in the

CHAPTER XIV
The walk back was a nightmare
to Mary.
She began by trailing along be-
hind the two as she had come,
only now there was no room for
jealousy or even disappointment
in her thought. She was hot and
cold and bewildered, watching the
hard set to the Mullins jaw, the
lingering suspicion in every cat
like movement. Iris was iubilant.

singing shame that her cousin
could do this.

a bit and hung to his arm.

He stopped and waited for Mary
to come up. Ask her" he said,
rather grimly.
The coldness crossed Iris face
and she shrugged. You knew
all the time, Mimi? You didn't
tell me?"
No" Mary answered in a small
voice.
She walked beside them after
that, crowding a little. But when
she would have dropped back
Danny slowed and she saw that
he wanted her along. Did he
trust her more than he did Iris?

inward chuckle, NOV Iris knows.

that women couldn't keep their
faces shuttle was not worried
about Iris turning him up-but
sooner or later a man would do
some sap thing with a girl like
her on his mind.
He had been surprised a second
time when Iris came out at
dawn. She came wholly on his
account he knew, and felt a tingle
of interest which drew like q
magnet. The promise he had
made Mary that evening in the
park slipped into the background
of his mind-let it rest for Il
while. No use raising a dust.
Iris charmed and pleased him and
soon they would be out of here
and he wouldn't see her any more.

face was tense as her own. ''Y'

Something Of fear touched his
eyes but Mary did not miss the
lingering way they turned toward
the girl in the water.
Are you going to keep your
promise, Danny? Tell her who
you are?"
She held him with a look of
challenge that grew bit mocking
Is he did not answer. Il thought
you were not afraid"
"In tell her" he said and moved
away. There was a quick finality
in that gesture and Mary guessed,
rightly enough, that he mated her
just then.
