MARY DELLA" said Miriam. "if
1V1 you went back into that road
~here they were lying. you ought to
get your head examined. If it'd
been me, I'd Of been on that high
way running as hard as my legs
would carry me. I'm scared Of dead

road by myself

But Mary Della was leaving out
some pertinent details at this point
and find 1t necessary to tell part
of the story for her.
THE moment Mary Della realized
Il that Bob was alive, she dropped
on her knees beside him and put
an arm under his head. Bob!
Bob! Darling can't you speak to
ME =. E. please =. !"
Bob groaned and felt the top of
his head.
HE darned near broke my head,
he said. But 1t was worth it
to hear you talk like that
Good OLD head, too thick for the
bad man to break" He laughed
softly. and tried to rise. Gosh. but
I'm groggy. Feel like the morning
after the night before What
about the woman?"
Now. if Mary Della will stop hold
ing back on Miriam, we'll let her
go ahead with her story.
81 told him I was scared to look.
He go to his feet somehow, with my
help. and I waited while he went
over to the woman and struck a
match. He didn't touch her: he
didn't even Stoop over. He just
turned around and walked back,
took my arm and led me to the car
"'You suggested not 50 long ago
that it was time We were getting out
Of here he said. ] think you're
right. Get in
But my mind was on that woman.
Can't We ... do anything for her?'
I asked him.
He stepped on the starter and
pulled the robe up over my knees
You might pray for her, Mary

in that sort of prayer. She was dead
ten seconds after that last scream
He turned the car around and
we started back over the road we'd
come out on little more than an
hour before.
For q long time We didn't say q
word. but started straight ahead.
Were both wondering. Bob said
after a while, how deeply we're like
" 10 be involved in this. aren't we
Mary Della?"
II nodded.

reasons why your name should not
be dragged in as there are why

drag mine in and out again if it will
protect you any. but it certainly will
change my whole life if 1 do
"'Wiu anybody ever find out we
were there?' I asked.
well, that's the point he said.
We can get into no end of trouble
by your silence if they ever run us
down. These murders are hard to
explain and they make it hot for
witnesses, though, of course, We
weren't witnesses to the actual kill
ing.
"If we go straight to the police
now and tell our story, there1l be
plenty OF disgusting publicity and
all that, but we'll save our necks
and may help in Identifying this
devil. BY the way, I didn't get
a look at him, did your
II TOLD him what had happened
l. after he left me in the car, but
he didn't know anything about the
Red Mask and I had to tell him that
story, too.
"'Well, it's plain enough he didn't
come out here tonight to bother
parkers,' Bob said. He took that
woman there to kill her and nothing
else. She knew too much about his
business very likely But this
isn't getting us anywhere =. I'll
do whatever you think best, Mary
Della, he told me.
"I thought about Nom and Pop,
and Joe, and the girls in the shop,
and I know nobody would ever be-
lieye what said
We'll, you know I would" Miriam
declared with feeling. "And as for
Joe Speaks, didn't he stand you up
and cause all this2" Don't talk to
me about him!"

Miriam. Wen have to be starting

NOW it is obvious that Mary Del

facts to which Miriam is entitled

listen to, and We won't stand back
and see her denied the little ray OF
sunshine in Mary Della's black
cloud.
When Mary Della suggested that
they take the risk Bob held her
fingers to his lips.
You're a brick!" he exclaimed
There isn't one girl in million
who could have done what you did
out there, sitting in that car alone
and then coming back to me after
what you had SEEN"

mean. But we've got plenty of time

snapped. I'm ready for battle now.

Red Mask made his bow. and ]

Miriam. I'D dropped dead right

bered what Bob had said about

first thing I did was turn out the
