make the ride. We made our start at

yelp of the coyote. They are lonesome

Larry kicked the black into q

Larry had no doubts, now, as 10
who was the head OF the narcotics

Bentley.
He doubted II Bentley took the
risk OF flying them In himself.
Probably left that to someone else.
But his own flying, frequent night
flights and his well-liehted land
Ing field made O perfect set-up.
Few people, outside Of the au-
thoriues, even knew that narcotics
we're being struggled In here. No
one would suspect Bentley and
even II they did, proving such o
charge was another matter.
And II anyone asked too many
questions, Bentley's explanation
was simple. He liked 10 fly as O
hobby. He had the money TO light

he happened to be delayed get

Larry heard O car coming be-

taking 0 shortcut to the highway.
They were doing that entirely too
often now, driving almost past the

he hated to make trouble, disliked

The car was coming nearer. II
the fool was driving fast, he might
