way and into the street.
At the Harlem Hospital they
found Fred almost completely re-
covered from his gunshot injuries.
Gathered about his white enameled
cot, they laid tentative plans for a
retaliatory campaign, plans which
would have startled all gangland
had they been made public.
A week later the young evangelist
returned to his Gospel Tent. and
with him came Linda Allen and AL

ton was sure to draw crowds into

grip on Al and whirled suddenly
upon the girl. But she halted him
in his tracks, his nose pointed into
the grim muzzle of his own re-
volver. He heSitated, then took his
gun from her hand as though she
were a baby.
In that brief second of hesitation
AIS revolver was out and in action.
Ace went down with a bullet through
his right hand and the fleshy part
of his thigh. His gun clattered to
the floor. In a few brief seconds
he had slumped to the ground, ex-
hausted. AL picked up the Aces
revolver and crashed it, butt down,
across his head. "Just," he said
briefly. for good luck"
Linda rushed to him, eyes ex-
pressing the sincere gratitude which
filled her heart.

In the semi-darkness Linda
watched with bated breath as the
two men fought savagely back and
forth across the room which served
as the Aces headquarters. Who was
this who had come to her rescue?
Who had dared to cross the Ace?
Her questions were answered
shortly as she watched the Ace
catch his assailant, eyes burning
with the accumulated hatred of
many years, and back him against
the steel-jacketed door.

long time she had known that he
liked her, but somehow she had
never given him credit for CUTS
enough to step into a breach like
this.
The Ace was nearly twice as big.
and, with his gang, many times
more powerful than Al. Yet the
smalled man bore in courageously,
fr~antically. with flaying arms that
seemed endowed with almost in
credible strength. The Ace had
him now: was forcing him back
wards across the room, bending his
back across the corner of that heavy
mahogany desk. With fury born of
desperation he struggled to free
himself, but the Ace was undoubt-
eddy the stronger. Iron fingers bit
into his neck; black spots danced
before his eyes.
Linda, watching this amazing
struggle from q corner Of the room,
saw plainly that AL sto5d not the
slightest ghost Of a chance against
the Ace. Slowly his body was CIV
ing under the strain, bending back
ward sickeningly under the clawing
fingers Of the larger man. How long
could he stand this torture? The
Aces face held a smile now, a grim,
hooking smile of determination.
She gathered her wits quickly
and looked about her granticalE.
Could she help? There on the desk,
where the Ace always kept it for his
own protection, lay a cleaning blue
steel revolver. She watched him

the fact that the budget makes no
