Chapter 10 THE GIRL BANDIT

Enid sat up in bed and looked around her.
 The sunlight was streaming into her room. Mechanically she raised her hand to her head. Her head was bandaged.
 There was pain there, but it was not very severe. She was con- scious of a sense of weakness, but she did not feel ill Where was she?
 She remembered last night. She remembered being wounded and losing consciousness; and she had a hay recollection of periods of semi consciousness during which she had been lifted out of the car and carried somewhere, and of some woman who had put her to bed dressed her head and given her something to drink.
 A glance at her wrist watch told her it was 3 o'clock.
 This unfamiliar room bothered her. It was a very nice room, richly furnished. It was certainly not a police cell! Therefore the car must have escaped the police.

and others she had surmised. What she had not known was the after math of the gangsters' escape.
 Giving up the chase when forced to the curb by bullet punctured tires, the police had returned to the Morgan home and searched the place, confident that it was no or dinary crime that had been foiled. Mrs Morgan had been abusive out uncommunicative. The police, how ever, were persistent.
 As a result they had found the proceeds of the Maiden Lane jewel robbery of the night before in the cellar and now were looking for Twisty Morgan.
 The paper fluttered from Fnid's hands. She strove to think coher- ently.
 Who had placed that newspaper so obviously on the bedside table? And why? Who lived in this house? The Big Shot-Roy-m ust have brought her here What connec- tion was there between him and the occupants of the house? And and where was-Roy. Where was anyone?
 She looked around. A bell push hung from the head of her bed. A queer little smile crossed her lips as she rang the bell. Wherever she was, the establishment seemed to lack nothing in the way of com fort and convenience!
 Perhaps a minute passed and then, answering her sun m o n s, there was 6 knock, and the door opened.
 As she stared at the figure stand ing there, leaning nonchalantly with his back to the door which he had closed behind him, she felt the blood drain from her cheeks.
 She was sure now that it was Roy. Last night she had not seen his face; she had recognized only what she thought were cer- tain mannerisms in his walk and carriage; but nov she was pre- pared to swear that she recog- nized his every feature-that It was the same clean-cut, handsome

 How well he looked, how much the perfect gentleman, as always! Roy-the Big Shot-therefore a criminal This well groomed figure a criminal Her lips trem- bled. It was well known to every body that the successful crooks knew how to wear their clothes!

WOLVERHAMPTON, Eng, Feb. l3.-Florida sands will be burned again in March when Kaye Don at Daytona Beach will attempt to wrest the worlds land speed record from his countryman. Sir Henry Segrave.
 The man-made thunderbolS, sur- named the Silver Bullet" will have to better a speed of 231 ,36 miles an hour, an all-time record set up year ago by Segrave
 Don's attempt will be made be- tween March 15-30 on the twenty seventh anniversary of beach rec ord trials when a number of cars, mainly stock automobiles, will race against time.
 The bullet-lilSe machine which Britons hope will prove to be the worlds fastest automobile was thought out and put on paper in the idyllic calm and comfort of an island that has no automobiles.
 Without raucous honking or the staccato of back-firing to disturb his dreams of automotive perfec- tion, Louis Coatalen who designed the car, perched high up in a chalet on the isle of Capri, worked out the details Of the 4,000-h horsepower racer.
 Once in awhile he tore himself away from the Italian sunshine long enough to come here to see how well the factory was putting his ideas into metal. What he calls his real work. however, was done on the flivver-less isle.
 Coatalen went at his job like a tailor, passing the measurements oI the new car on Kaye Don's physi- cal dimensions. When the racer slips into the drivers seat, the four wheeled bullet will fit him like a suit.
 The total width of the body is two and one-half feet and it's total
