The latter's paint had long since
lost it's factory gloss. The win
dow beside the drivers seat
Haunted a deep crack the length
of it's pane. Taken as a whole
the dilapidated sedan appeared to
have seen it's best days many
years before.
Lem heaved q sigh as he turned
his attention to the two burly
troopers who had stopped by ia
warm themselves and have a
smoke. Leaning his elbows on the
counter, Lem shook his head.
Reckon that new outfit cost
the State a pretty penny" he re-
hected.
The taller trooper nodded. II
guess they come to almost a
thousand apiece, including the ra-
did," he admitted.
Guess you boys oughta catch
yourselves plenty of crooks with
equipment like that" Lem said
pulling out his pipe.
"They haven't a chance" the
other officer put in. with the
radio, and a boat that can STEP
along at ninety well, figure
it out for yourself. And you know
after all you're the town constable
around here, Lem, and you, too,
ought to have a car that can get
you places in hurry"
Lem knew the officer was child
ing him but he took it good-na-
turedly.
For few moments they ram
bled on, then the troopers threw
their cigarettes into the stove and
ran to the door. The shrill lat
tention signar Of the car radio
had sounded. A message was about
to be transmitted.
Lem watched both men get into
the car. Suddenly the starter
whirred into action, the motor
roared. With a deep throbbing of
its powerful engine the car leaped
ahead to disappear amidst the
swirling snow.
Putting on his blackened pipe,
Lem drew a potato-shaped watch
from his vest. 1t was past eleven
o'clock. Lem walked to the rear
of the store and slipped on his
overcoat. He wrapped a heavy
muffler about his neck, then slip
ped fur lined cap on.
After one last glance about the
store, he switched off the lights
and went out the door, locking it
behind him. The night air was
bitter cold. An icy wind was whip
ping the snowfiakes into tWirling
spirals. Lem drew a pair of big
mittens from his coat and put
them on.
1t took him several minutes to
start the fliyver, then he headed
toward the main road.
Tonight He Had A
Long Ride Ahead
Tonight he had a rather long
ride ahead of him but he didn't
mind it. Years of bitter cold win
ters upstate had hardened him to
the weather. Lem was a widower
with one married child. Tonight
he was going to spend the night
at his daughters house. Her hus-
band worked for the power COM
pany which meant that during the
approaching storm he would work
nights.

forehead bleeding. The other
leaned back in the seat, an ex-
plession Of agony on his face as
he clutched a twisted arm.
Reaching over, Lem snapped on
the dome-light. 1t worked. Gently
he eased the conscious officer to a
comfortable position. then he ex-
amined the cut on the others
head. 1t was not very deep and
apparently no bones were broken.
Hell be all right" Lem said,
turning back to his comrade:
"Only stunned. What happened

The trooper shook his head
slowly, gritted his teeth. 'No-

Dave worked all night.
For several miles the flivver
rolled along steadily. Chilling
wind shrieked along the deserted
road but Lem was warm in his
heavy clothing. Through a hun
dred crevices and holes in the
aged body icy blasts whistled and
whined.
People often laughed at the
huge chains Lem always attached
to the wheels of his ancient car.
They seemed funny-looking. But
on such night as this Lem knew
their worth. Up ice-sheeted, wind
ing hills the car ploughed as the
heavy chains bit deeply. Around
turns Lem could be sure the fliv-
yer could hold the road.
Just as he was rounding the
crest of Crummit's Hill, Lem
caught sight of something seem
ingly piled against a huge tree
beside the road. Peering closer
through the driving snow. LENS
eyes widened. His hand reached
for the emergency brake.
His rear wheels locked. The
chains crunched, then held. The
fiivver jolted to a stop at the
roads edge. F'linging the door
open Lem leaped to the ground.
The car that had stood before
his store, shining and slick, a
short while before, now was
smashed against the trunk of the
tree. The whole front of the car
seemed to have caved in with the
impact. The seat, however, was
still intact.
Lem was at the door now,
wrenching at the handles. For a
moment it damned, then flung
wide. Inside, Lem could see the
crumpled forms of the two troop
ers. One lay still; a cash on his

wished to. But he held back.
They were nearing the danger
Gus curve at the peak now. Lem
pushed the throttle down further.
The fiivver surged forward. The
other car was at the bend now.
Lem ducked low in the seat. The
fiivver pulled closer to the rear
OF the, other car.
Now, as only a few feet separ-
ated them, q burst of shots
crashed. But Lem kept on. Sud-
denly there was jolting crash
as the f1ivver hit the big car.
The car ahead careened wildly,
slowed sideways across the ice
covered roadbed. With sharp
swapping sound, the cables of the
safety-rail snapped. The big sedan
plunged through.
Lem cried out in horror. He
hadn't meant TO do this. 1t seemed
that the convict's car was hurtling
over the cliff. But its mad dash
was stayed as the rear of the
chassis caught in one of the guard
fence cement posts. The car hung
over the brink of the lprecipice.
Lem had jammed on his brakes.
They slid. then brought the fiivver
to a stop within foot of the
other cars rear fender. The driver
of the convict's car, his face a
deathlike, pasty hue in the glare
of LENS headlamps, peered out
the partly-opened window. His
companions .huddled on the rear
seat, terrified.
Heave Those Guns
Over The Cliff
Lem showed his door open and
bellowed: "Heave those guns over
the cliff or I'll shove you
overt"
Swiftly ~ three automatics hurt
led toward the bottom of the cliff
far below. Lem pocketed his re-
volver and dragged a heavy tow
line from the rear of the hivver.
Knowing it was useless to try to
pull the heavy car back onto the
road, he hooked it to the fiivver
to brace 1t while the convicts
climbed out rear window.
Lem didn't, lack o. certain
amount of courage, but as he eyed
the three vicious specimens be-
fore him, he was glad to feel the
troopers gun in his fist.
An hour later. the criminals
were safe behind the bars once
more. Lem was coming down the
steps of the town lookup when he
saw the trooper who's arm had
been broken, coming out of the
doctors house across the way.
"Say, young feller,' Lem said
suddenly, "what was it you hol-
Tered to me as / left you at the
roadside?"
The tall trooper grinned. "Oh."

were lost in the whine OF the wind.
Once again the constable's car
sputtered, then rolled toward the
direction the convict's car had
taken. Lem knew every foot of the
road blindfolded. He knew where
every curve began and ended. And
thus, by pushing the fiivver along
at top speed he soon made out
a dim red light ahead.
LENS eyes lost their humorous
twinkle. He reached to the seat
beside him and fingered the butt
of the gun. His eyes were hard
now. The tail light grew until

the big sedan ahead.

The Heavy Revolver
Lem picked UP the heavy SER
vice revolver that lay on the floor.
With swift motion he slammed
the car door shut. AS he ran to
his f1ivver he heard the trooper
shout something but the words
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-20

Lem lifted the revolver to re-
turn their fire but put it back
again. 1t would be useless to try
to shoot it out with three armed
and desperate criminals. He drop
ped back a bit.
AS he rounded sharp curve,
Lem knew they were at the foot
of the long hill that would up the
mountain. Lem well knew of the
sharp turn near the top, where
one side of the road ran beside
a sheer drop of almost eighty feet
to the bottom of the cliff. An idea
began to form in his mind.
The big car ahead, handicapped
by lack of chains, was having
trouble in making the hill. Lem
could easily have passed it had he
