Chapter 21
PHIL EvENs SCORES

Whatever plan Phil had con- ceiyed to effect their escape Enid was determined to do her part un- questioningly.
 Their predicament was desper- ate. Izzy Myers and the Big Shot might arrive anytime. Enid shud- dered to think about it.
 She flung a contemptuous laugh at Batty Rose. T don't think you are so very brightl We are two to one and both of us are armed"
 .Is dat SOP" he retorted sneer- ingly. Well, don't fool yourself dat de rod y6use pinched off me was de only one in de house-'cause it wasn'tl See? An youse won't get no chance to use yers cause youse can't hit me where am. An maybe"-Batty Rose had obviously been sorely flicked on the raw-"I ain't so bright, but youse cant get to de front door. or go back along de hall neither, without getting plugged. I've got youse cold, an if youse makes a move youse gets yers. Youseve got dat straight, a.n't youse?"
 She had located him now He was inside that front room and protected by the wall at the edge Of the doorway-a strategic position.
 Her lips drew suddenly tight to- gether. Phil was gone now-with- cut a sound He had thrust his shoes, attached together by their faces into her hand
 She laughed again. You're a brave man, Battyl" she taunted. T know where you are While you are inside the doorway of that front room"-this for Phil's bene- fit-you're fairly safe from a shot. But be very, very careful not to expose yourself, won't you?"
 "Aw. shut yer mapl" he snarled rye told, youse wot ycusen get if youse makes a movel'

 The car! The car the two gang sters had parked at the curb! Enid running, headed toward it with Phil keeping pace beside her. She glanced over her shoulder. The gangsters were just emerging from the basement door. And now, leap ing up to the pavement, they were in pursuit.
 It was only a few yards from the house to the car Would there be time to start the car? Or was it idling?-it was a habit of such men as these to leave their en- zines running.
 "Quickl" she panted. "Check them with shot over their heads. I can drive. Give me time to start the car if necessary"
 "Right!' he flung back terSoly, and half turning as he ran, the flame tongue of his revolver cut through the semidarkness, and the roar of the report racketed up and down the street.
 It was the seconds respite that she needed. She had reached tine car now, and, as she flung her self at the wheel, sidelong glance showed her that both men had in

trance will be locked too. I don't know anything about the rear of the house, but there's another way out. It would be an easy drop to the ground from the window in the front room here"
 Good ideal" he applauded. "See if you can unfasten it; if you can't we'll smash the glass. I'll have this lace tied in a jiffy. Look out you don't trip over Batty Rose-he's lying somewhere inside the door way"
 q hear him. she said as the man began to breathe heavily.
 She entered the room and, guided by the reflection of the street light, went swiftly to the window She found the catch, unfastened it-and about to open the window itself, suddenly drew back to one side. An open car, swervlng swiftly to the curb was drawing up just a little beyond the front of rhs house. And now as she watched, its occupants, two men-two of the gang obviously, for neither of them was Izzy Myers nor the Big Shot got out of the car and came hurry ing back toward the house.
 "Quickl" she called tensely. Quick, they're coming now!"
 Phil's voice answered her al- most from her elbow. T see them!' he said coolly. They'll use the basement entrance, of course-thcy won't want to be seen on the steps. Yes-there they are under the stoo9 now!'
 She felt him reach out past her to the window. Suppose they rang the bell and stood there wait ing for Batty Rose to answer! Well, as an alternative, there were back windows as well as this onel But, no-they obviously had key
 She heard the basement door open now; and now voice came hoarsely, excitedly from below: Hey, Batty! Batty!"
 But the next instant with the window open, she had clambered over the sill and, with Phil follow

in her voice, "and if we darenl move and you daren't move, what q pleasant little party it is going tc bel Would you mind very much il we sat down on the stairs since we're going to spend the rest of the night here?"
 "Youse can sit down if youse likes-but it won't be for longF he said viciously "Youse said yer self dat Izzy Myers and de Big Shot was coming here tonight, but youse won't even have to wait for dem. Dere's some friends of mine dat l was talking to while youse was nos ing around de house, dat are on der way here now on de jump"
 T don't believe you" she re- torted. "The only way you could have done it, since you didn't go out, was to have telephoned-and vacant houses haven't got tele- phones"
 Batty Rose laughed raucously.
 Lady, youse gives me a pain! Maybe dere aint no number in de telephone book, an maybe de com pany don't make no charge, not bein' wise to it; but youse'ye got another guess coming just de same. See? Maybe youse've heard of tap ped wires? Well, dat's wos's wot, an"
 His words ended abruptly in a curious sort of long-drawn sigh. Came then the thump as of some heavy body falling on the floor and, for an instant, silence.
 And then, while Enid held her breath, waiting, Phil's voice heached her-with just trickle of grim laughter in it's tones: You're a peach. Enid! The trick goes to you. I got in a lucky one with the revolver butt. He's out for the next few minutes. Give me my shoes, will you?"
 "I-1--" She found her voice faltering, suddenly as she mechani- cally descended the few remaining stairs, and, groping out toward him, handed him the shoes. II" Perhaps it was the reaction from suspense, relief from the dread ot what might have happened to him that tied her tongue-and she wanted to say so much. She shut her hands tightly She mustn't let herself go I'll get the front door open if I can, while you are putting on your shoes" she said quickly
 "Yes, go ahead!" he agreed.
 She made her way to the door and tried 1t. It was locked and the Key had been taken away. But now She had herself in hand again. She returned then to where she could just dimly make him out as he sat on the floor near the door way of the front room.
 Its locked" she stated calmly.
 And I suppose the basement en-

up the ring with the soldier in a decisive manner. So there you are. Olson beats Collier, wins from Slvers with punch after being whipped for four rounds. Collier makes a simian out of Silvers and Campbell beats Olson.
 The Legion is offering 20 rounds of boxing to the fans. The main 20 is six rounds. Cranney Hulse and Miles Murphy in the semi windup are billed for six more. Hulse is a ccming scrappar, young, fast and hard to hit. Murphy can hit, but he's going to know that he was in a fight before he hears the final gong, if he ever hears it. Another Hulse, Rcd" this time, is going to meet a rough and ready battler in Dan White in a four round engagement. This fight isn't going to be any parlor argument, and the nitro is apt to explode any minute.
 The curtainraiser is four-round session between M. Rocovich and r. Ruckhart, two likely looking lads who have promised not to use any loaded snowballs while they are in the ring.
 All eight of the fighters have  worked faithfully in their training for the bouts They can be de- | pended to give the shekal-paying customers a run for their dinero.

stinctively hesitated and were hold ing back.
 The engine was idling! Shs threw in the clutch, and as Phi Martin leaped in beside her the car, like an animal under the prod of a spur, sprang away from thc curb.
 Shots came tn en generations savage oaths. The two men were furiously emptying their weapons
 She crouched low over the wheel her lips tight together in a straight line. Last night like this she had not escaped unscathed A bullet shattered the windshield. But the car was speeding now-faster than she had ever driven a car before in her life.

RING VETERANS MEET SATURDAY

Campbell and Collier to Pit Experience in Six
 Round Legion Bout

Two veterans of the squared cir cle will be the center of attraction en the American Legions smokc card at that organization arena in A. B. Hall next Saturday eya- ming. Red" Campbell and Joe Collier, who are the headliners for the evening, have been strutting their stuff under the calciums for mere years than either likes to boast about
 If each of them had "buck" for each round he had fought, neither would be worrying about percentage Of the gate in Saturdays frclic. With these years and rcund3 has come experience Ring craft has replaced speed as thcir main asset, and generalship is an attribute not to be despised.
 Which is the better man, the records fail to reveal. The only comparison available leaves the question in doubt. Soldier Olson, rugged Chilkoot Barracks battler, plastered Collier with a kayo here not many months ago. One Doc Silvers entered the scene next, and Olson, after being battered by him for four rounds, flattened Doc for the count in the fifth. Next Collier disposed of Silvers without having to extend himself, and in such fashion as to entirely eliminate the Dec from the fight picture.
 Then Campbell intruded. He took on Olson here ard cluttared

 ANYONE who has watched the development of our cities during recent years must be inn pressed by the effective and constructive serv- ice rendered by their Chambers of Commerce. These organizations have not only promoted the business interests of their communities but have justified our confidence in American business men by the increasing breadth of vis- ion and public spirit which make them see all the community's problems as their own, to the solution of which they will willingly contribute time effort and their practical point of view But this is only part of their service By unit ing their strength through the Chamber of Commerce of the United States they are rem dering the nation service as great as they rendered their local communities. The Ma tionai Government needs and appreciates the aid, counsel and advice which American busi- ness as whole can give. The action taken by Chief Justice Taft during his term as President which led to the formation of the National Chamber of Commerce has been abundantly justified by experience"
