strove to read the road map which
the madly rushing wind fluttered and
sought to tear from between his fin

perate effort, conscious that amid
blaze of headlights the car jolted
and swerved like a refusing horse.
All about sounded the squeal of sud
denly applied brakes, frightened
shouts, the yelling of angry curses;
but the girl merely bent further over
the wheel and, as the car gathered
speed, her hair streamed out behind
like pale but lustrous war flag.

At rate that was never under fif-

great motor through the drowsy, blue
and white painted suburbs of Buda-

mentally photographed the route he
had chosen to Hatvan. The main

Nodding, she gathered her skirts
garter high and with him darted out
into the dark and silent street. On
the opposite sidewalk a figure loung-
ing under lamp post started and,
when the two dashed around the cor
ner toward Ian's parked car, the
watcher commenced to run also.
"Can you drive carr" he painted.
"I've got to study map-maybe
there's a short cut"
\"Yes," she replied.
"Good. Drive out the Wtitzen road
and don't stop for man, god nor 'dev-

She shot him a look of calm cour-
age and leaped into the drivers seat
of the long-snouted car with the ease
of born athlete. simultaneously,
her foot pressed the starter pedal and
the motor commenced its deep roaring
song. Just then the figure which had
watched from across the street came
running up. The fellow halted, cried
out something, and Ian glanced up to
recognize the sinister passion-clouded
features of Colonel Maxim Sobeloff.
"Good evening"" said he, teeth wolf
ish in the moonlight. "Will you get
out and fight? Or must l shoot you
down like the dog you are?"
"Get the hell out of the way!" Ian
waved a furious hand. "See you later

Just then Lolita let out the clutch
and, like spurred colt, the automo-
bile lurched off along the cobbled
street. The Bulgarian rasped a fur

Just as the car careened around the
corner, long orange finger stabbed
the night and Ian felt a sting in his
left shoulder as though a giant bee
had stung him. Crack! Sobeloff fir

him and the girl a small star shaped
hole sprang into being. Lolita's eyes,
wide with alarm, flicked sidewise.

roar of the motor. "He missed" But

numbing effect.

across the floor, her bright lips curl
