"You useless louise! If you
got anything to say. say it to the
jury later. I'll get that squehng
dame out myself an where she'll
never testify against me. You
beat it out to the Castle an wait
till I call you."
"Get the Dame"
Five minutes later CarSton
was talking to the secretary OF
the District Attorneys Office
the secretary who for $4,000
had sold out his chief to the
gangster.
"All I want this time," Car.
ston was saying, "is blank jail
release. The kind the D. A. would
use to get a prisoner brought to
his office from the can, get me?
And you get it over here quick. "
But, Mr.. Carston, Z"
Carston interrupted:
II gave you ten grand once and
you'll get ten grand more for this,
but don't forget you're in this as
I am and you'd better come clesn
or I'll get dirty. If you--"
Carston didn't even fidish his
threat before the secretary whim'
peringly agreed to deliver the
blank document to the gangster.
Thirty minutes later Carston sat
at his desk, handing over q wad
of bills to "The Penman," credited
as the slickest free-hand forger in
the city.

swear he didn't sign that" Car

The car Swerved suddenly into

sounded his horn-two long, one
short, one long; the wall parted,
the car drove in, the wall closed
behind it. Before them was a
grim granite building. a fortress
like structure. Julie was bundled
out and hustled in. She found
herself in a large room, lavinShly
furnished as a living hall, and she
was greeted by several Of Car
ston's hoodluns, who she knew.
"Of all people, you'll" exclaimed
Rich. We never fought you'd
put the finger on de chief after

"Shut up and mind your own

in no mood to handy small talk

.. the metal gates opened again,
a Snappy little Speedster drew in
and out of it leaped Alex Car
ston. His expression was black
and his movements were swift and
jerky. He strode into the big
room. His eyes lit on Julie and
focused on her, irising down to
pinpoints.
"Get out O. here, all but herI"
he commanded. And when the
others had gone, he slammed the
door and advanced on her.
"So-you done it-you, the

"Then-on what'd they indict

Don't ask me. That D. A. sure
didn't make a chum out Of me.
I guess he just took shot in the
dark, hoping he'd develop some
evidence by croSs-examining me
as to what the symbols and fig
ureS on those pages mean"
Carston's mouth went to q
straight, thin line.
II thought maybe that was the
scheme" he said, and bounded
across the room and shut the door
behind him with a wallop.
CarSton beckoned Rich into a
corner and whispered:

"Okay, chief"
Rich started for the door. It
opened from without and Dinky'S
head came in.
CHAPTER Xxx
"Chief," he called, ION the
phone-Bill Bradford"
"Ouch!" said Carston. "Tell him
1'm-no, wait. I'll answer"
No Compromise
Bill Bradford was in q telephone
booth in the little village half a
mile from Carston's Castle. He
leaned eagerly forward, awaiting
Carston's voice. 1t came-"Hello,
Bill"
Listen, Carston," said Bradford
earnestly and with steel in his
voice. "You were trailed to the
Castle. The minute Julie was Spir-
tied away the D. A. was wise
enough to know you'd rush to
where she was"
"So-what?"

trio left the building and entered
a waiting car.
AS they stepped up to the door,
Julie recognized Dinky at the
wheel. She began to turn, but
before she could utter a sound,
a gun was jabbed into her side.
"Get in, sister, and no peep
outa you. We're goin' places"
Julie regainc1 her compoSure
instantly, and without another
seconds hesitation, entered the
limousine.
With one gunman on each of
her, she asked:
where are you taking me?"
"We're goin' to our estate in
the country" replied one Of the
hoodlumS.
Don't tell her nothin', Jake.
CarSton says this dame squawked
to the gran jury, and anything
we tell her she might whisper
to some nasty man in uniform" ="
Both laughed at the obviously
impossible chance Of Julie "Squak-
ing" to anybody. They then
drove on in silence.
Bill Bradford answered his tele-
phone. It was the District At

CHAPTER Xxx
Julie chartered along against
time as the car speed toward the
Castle, but, as she sat between two
of CarStan'S toughS and one OF
Carston'S pet killers loomed before
her on the drivers seat, she was
far from easy.
Carston must have been salts
fled by now, she calculated, that
she had been a willing party to
the photographing Of the books
and the teStifying which decided
the deadly contents. She knew
too we'll how CarSton handled
traitors; and, in this instance, not
only a traitor who had turned him
up, but one who alone could send
him to AlcatraZ If she lived to
face a Federal jury.
Most probably, too, she sur
missed, he knew by now that Bill
Bradford, the man she loved, had
instigated the whole job, and she
was more worried over his fate
than over her own.
The big, bullet-proof car sped on.
It was past the city limits now,
squirming around curves.

into his pocket for a coin, he
hurried almost at a run for a tele'
phone booth. He dialed a number
and shifted impatiently for the
few intervening seconds before his
party answered.
"Hellow, lemme talk to CarSton,
Quick! This is Young"
A moment later CarSton's suave
voice answered the phone and the
lawyer blurted:
"Alex. My God, man, we're
sunk! They've got that secretary
Of yours bottled UP. I can't get
near her. L."
"They can't do that to me,
CarSton declared. "1've got my
rights and so has she. Get her
out"
"You don't understand, Alex.
You want her out but she doesn't
want out. She wouldn't see me,
signed an affidavit saying
couldn't represent her, and now
she's talking her head off to the
Grand Jury. I can't. .."

O dirty little rat. Anyway she

books are ashes an without those
books she can't tell 'em much, and

Carston hung up, and Young
whirled from the phone booth and
strobe detertninedly from the
Federal Courts building.

DIONNE MANAGER
 IS NOT TALKING

Callander, Ont, Sept. 9-(UP)- Leo Kervin, Callander boat-builder and "personal manager" of Oliva Dionne,- father of the quintuplets' today declined to enlarge on re- ports he had refused to terminate his five-year contract with Dionne for a lump cash settlement.
 Kervin said he wished to pre- vent his lifelong friend from "fall- ing into the hands of a bunch of chisellers." He said Dionne was discontented with the amount of money Kerwin's efforts had brought in. His one aim, Kerwin protested, was not to make money for the Dionnes, but to obtain the return of their babies.
 Dionne, who with Mrs. Dionne completed two-weeks stay at the Canadian National exhibition, on Saturday, claimed the contract was binding. He said he had com municated with his lawyers who would handle the matter. He de- clined to give any reason for the sudden breach between himself and his old friend.
