On entering she spotted the call
ing cards above the bells. She found
the one she was looking for, on the
second floor. She pushed the ringer,
hard and long; then she ran up the
carpeted stairs and paused at the
top step to see which door was 60
ing to open to her summons. She
heard footsteps in the apartment to
her left and was before the door,
ready to dart in when Dan pulled 1t
back.
He gaped at her for second, not
quite believing his eyes. Then he
came fully awake. He slammed the
door quickly and turned to her.
"Honey!" What is it? Why are
you here at this time of the night?"
There was not much need for her
| to explain that something was really
wrong, for she knew her eyes ex-
pressed the fear that she felt so
wildly.
Il am afraid" she told him and
shivered visibly.
He came to her to draw of the
coat, but she held it tightly around
her and backed into a chair. He
stood still and looked down at the
girl he had made love to not so long
ago-who had been so happy and
carefree then.
Why are you afraid, Honey?
What has happened since left you?

Afraid of Being Killed.
He sat down on the edge of a near

ward to speak, her voice almost in
whispers. There was no mistak-

voice tremble.
I'm afraid Joe Danourne will kill
me-"
Kill you?" repeated Dan. and she
saw his eyes harden to flaming steel
points. "Why?" He shot the ques-
ton at her, but she did not finch.
Have you seen him? Told him
about us already?"
She shook her head quickly.
This is why"
She opened her bag and drew out
the velvet box. She sprung the
catch, and the light fell on the dia-
mond in all its beauty.

planned, simply.

Here" Dan thrust the box
back into her hand. Get into the
bedroom and lock the door and
don't come out no matter what

"Oh, DAM" she cried and choked
on a sob that rose without warn

over the long lashes.
