HAND TO HOLSTER

Sergeant Fife frightened his
strong white teeth and swung his
hand around to his holster, loosen
ing his revolver.
Anybody travelling like that, he
decided was up 10 no good and
probably fleeing from a lot of
harm they had wrought.
A bank robber, maybe, or even
a murderer. He wasn't lingering
in the meantime.
He had twisted the handle of his
machine a little farther, opening
the throttle wide. The speedometer
climbed 10 so, 60, 20 and he was
making only slight cut in the
distance between him and the
streak.
He opened up the siren and
crouched in the seat and let her
ride.

TEN MILES LATER

Ten miles later. he reached the
side of the gray car and saw il
was a roadster and a single occu-
pant.
He motioned sideways with his
body and brought the motorcycle
closer 10 the car to force II
to the roadside.
AS the auto slowed up. he saw
that the occupant was girl. She
stopped the car and he sat his
motorcycle down on its rest and
came back, reaching for his ticket
book.
And then he saw the girl was
pretty. She had brown hair and
brown eyes and her well-chiselled
face was wind-and-sun-kissed.
The body which supported all
this was as Streamlined and
shapely as the automobile and
that was the last word in the
way a car should be built.
The realization made him sore.
She was some spoiled brat who
got away with everything up 10
murder because she happened 10
be. good-looking.
She might even get away with
that If somebody didn't stop her.
He reached the car. his pencil
poised over his book.
His gray eyes burned into the
brown ones and his well-chinned
mouth was tight. lie looked like
an angry Indian.

Fife happened 10 be- ldling along
on his motorcycle at 80 miles an
hour or so when a streak of metal
shot by him, Zoomed over a hill
and disappeared.
The sergeant sighed and settled
himself firmly in the saddle and
twisted the riGht-hand handle OF
his machine. giving II the gun.
Two seconds later. he was on
the hilltop and peering ahead at
his prey. He had 10 squint his eyes
because the streak was going even
faster.
All that he could distinguish

and practically skimming over the
road.
