alter his life and stir it from its
steady, measured beat into quick
ened tempo.
Janielle broke in upon his
thoughts. Where do you want to
go, Jim?"
Locke almost forgot his assumed
name. Janielle glanced quickly at
him as he hesitated.
oh" he answered negligently,
"back to your house. I can get my
/ clothes there and get out" He kept
his eyes forward. He had expert
enced enough Self-torture.
A Surprising Scene.
"All right. But you needn't worry
about the clothes. I'll send them to
your rooms"
I'D rather" he said fatty.
Jainelle drove the roadster from
the wide, fiat highway into the
gravel driveway that led to her
house. She glanced once at Locke
and her eyes fingered on his silent,
intent face. She remembered how
he had looked when he had accom-
panied her down to the kitchen in
the morning. .. Tall and rangy and
fine and clean. That picture re-
manned in her mind, nagging for an
explanation.
They came to the end of the drive
way. and this time when the road
Ster stopped Janielle clambered out
quickly before Locke could open the
door. She ran up the steps, not
glancing back.
Locke shrugged. He looked down
at his watch. 1t showed Just 5
o'clock. Time enough to get back
to the Hotel Rockland and have
dinner, he thought. He strolled
through the doorway and toward the
library. He came into the room and
pulled himself short.
Eric Farrell was standing across
from him, gun in his hand. Locke
started to step forward and as he
did he gimpsed, from the corner
OF his eye, another figure moving
from behind a chair toward the
door.
Farrell raped out Don't move!"
Locke froze in his tracks, warned
by the threat in the gangster's voice.
Close the door, Chuck" Farrell
directed. The man whom Locke had
glimpsed at his side slid sideways
and closed the door softly.
Locke Is Recognized.
Locke swung his eyes around the
room. Janielle was standing near
the windows, staring wildly at Eric
Farrell and the blue-snouted auto
matte he held negligently in his big
hand. Xavier Merrill was seated on
the couch, his big body bent forward
and his hands clenched.
Locke relaxed. There was nothing
he could do now. He glanced warily
at the man called Chuck. He was
huge monster with hulking shoul-
ders and bulging arms and anvil
like hands. Locke recognized the
fiat, expressionless face. Chuck had
been his visitor in the cellar of the
Green Parrot. The gangster carried
memento of Lockes fist in the
form of a swollen ear and a large.

mer. Fortunately, Mr.. Merrill has
weakness for his own name. He
likes to see it on everything he owns,
even on his automobile tools. When
I read that piece of engraving, 1t
was easy to guess the setup.'
Xavier Merrill groaned in disgust.
Chuck, from his position behind
Locke, spoke up. This guy was
in the joint last night, boss. I re-
member him."
Yeah. So do l." Farrell swung
on Xavier Merrill. You know what
happens to guys who think they
can rat, don't you, Merrill? You
weren't very smart not to think OF
that. You would have saved your
self a lot of trouble If you had let
me have that union. Now I'll get
it anyhow and you won't be around
to watch me-"
Locke broke in evenly, "You know,
Farrell, that you'll be caught. There
are servants in this house"
They didn't see us, chum; and
they won't"
1T isn't worth the risk
Knocking off the guy who's
made sucker out'a me? It'll be a
pleasurep Farrell gestured with
his gun. "Open the door, Chuck,
Let's take our customers for
an airing" He prodded Xavier
Merrill with the snout of the auto
matte. "Come on! Get going!" He
looked at Locke Allen. You first,
chum; and remember that I'm be-
hind you and have a nervous fin
ger. If you make one move that I
don't like, I have this rod on the
girl here and it might go of. That
goes for you too, Merrill"
There was nothing else they could
do but follow directions. Chuck
opened the door and Locke stepped
out into the hall; Chuck stood aside,
his hand threateningly in his pock-
ct. Xavier Merrill followed Locke,
and then Janielle came through the
door. The procession moved out
side. toward Janielle's roadster.
Chuck slid in behind the wheel.

lips twisted in exaggerated. quirk-

Locke saw that there wasn't any
use evading the question. "Jim
Locke" he answered. He could feel
the muscles in his jaw tighten.
Hes the guy that slugged me,
boss" Chuck supplied. His voice
was husky, blurred. emerging from
flattened, spatulate nose.
He is?" Farrell's voice contained
deep satisfaction. I'VE got 'em
all then" He hunched his rounded,
powerful shoulders. His gun crept
up an inch, pointing levelly at
Locke's heart. He turned his small,
rounded head toward Xavier Mer-
rill. Get up!" he snarled. Xavier
Merrill stood up. His eyes were
pleading.

have to include her in his, do you?"
What do you think? She's here,

derstood, too, and he seemed re-

cooiness. He mad often wondered
how he would react in situation
as dangerous as this. Every move
