Little prickles stung at Judiths skin as she realized she had the plans of the bomber in her possess sion.
 Heavy waived his gun and moved down toward the outside door
 Don't anybody move" he warn- ed, pausing at the door. T ain't minding to pull this trigger. And don't get off this plane until morn ing if you value your health"
 Tn another moment, he dropped to the ground and slammed the door. A car roared off.
 The hostess was the first to come alive. She jumped up, ran to the pilots compartment and pulled back the door. There was a hor- rifed gasp from her as she dropped to her knees. Two men rushed up behind her.
 One of them said, "Here-let me in. I'm doctor"
 The door closed after them. But almost immediately it opened again and the hostess came out.
 The pilot has been hurt. We are trying to use the radio. I am afraid we will have to make the best of the situation. I'll try to make you comfortable"
 But for the moment, Judith was far from comfortable. Her calmness had deserted her now. She kept thinking of the papers her fingers grasped in the seat beside her. When the spies discovered the plans were missing, they would return and make thorough search for Toms accomplice.
 She stuffed the papers into her purse and stood up. She made her way to the cabin up front and edged in.
 How long before he will come around?" she asked the doctor.
 He shook his head slowly. Can't say. It looks like bad concus- sion. He was hit over the head-a nasty blow"
 "They may come back" said Judith, and for the first time in her life her voice trembled with fright. The plans made her purse bulge, and reminded her con- stantly of the real danger she was facing.
 The man spoke again.
 T wonder what those fellows wanted? What they were after?" Judith pretended not to hear. T think I'll go outside and have a look. I really don't believe anyone is around now"
 I'm coming with you," Judith told him and followed quickly. Others, seeing their intensttons, came too.
 You'll have to jump for it. said the man with the grin. He leaped to the ground and reached to help her down. My name is Harry HOrnsby."

his back against the closed door, he drew a gun. There were gasps of terror. A woman screamed and wilted in her seat but no one made move to help her.
 Judith sat very still and waited.
 Nobody will get hurt if you do as you're told" the large man said. His eyes scanned the cabin for any signs of rebellion.
 As the plane wheels hit the earth, Judith opened her purse and her cold fingers closed about the litle gun she always carried when she travelled. Until now she had never used 1t.
 The big liner rolled to bumpy stop and the door to the control room opened. The co-pilot stepped out. His eyes darted over the peo- pie.
 Good work, Heavy" he said to the man with the gun. He strode down the aisle and disappeared through the door.
 Judith's eyes were fastened on the foreigner. He was the one she feared most, but so far he had made no move. He sat very straight in his seat. his eyes fixed on Tom. An electrificed excitement that she had never felt before enveloped Judith.
 She saw a light flare from the outside at 8 distance and drew nearer. While sine watched 1t ap- proach, she wondered how she could get off the plane and follow if the men only took Tom with them.
 The hostess started to move but the gunman's voice stopped her.
 Get back there to my seat and sit down." She compiled without 8 murmur. A man sitting up front whined irritably.
 Judith drew on her courage and said brightly. This is very ex- citing"
 Heavy, the man behind the gun, grinned at her white the passen- gers turned and glared. When Tom Burke loked at her, there was a light of understanding in his glance.
 The co-pilot put his head in at the door.
 "All right, Karl"
 Instantly, the foreigner came alive and stood up, an ugly gun in his hand covering Burke from the back.
 Come along" he ordered curtly, |nudging Tom with the point of the pistol.
 Burke stood up. As. he moved down the narrow aisle he bumped Judith,s seat. A packet of papers slid quickly and nolselessly from his right sleeve and dropped be- side her. Swiftly she shifted her arm to cover the bundle and Burke walked on to the door with tho foraigner behind him.

SKYWAY HOLDUP CHAPTER, III

Judith noticed most of the pas- eenoers were nodding to sleep except Tom, the foreigner, and the large man in front of her. Every thing was peaceful, with nothing to substantiate her fears.
 The hostess walked through, stopped at each seat to make sure her charges were comfortable and then returned to her place. Judith sighed and closed her eyes. Lean- ing back against the seat, she re- faxed for the first time since they changed co-pilots.
 Then suddenly the plane rocked and her spine grew rigid with fright. Everybody on the snip came awake instantly. Someone screamed. The hostess came run ming through the aisle.
 'Fasten your safety belts, please" she urged, her voice calm. She hurried to the front of the nlane. but when she tried to turn the handle of the control room door 1t was locked. She turned to face the frightened passengers, but %lst as she opened her mouth to speak. the plane leveled into smooth flying again.
 However, Judith, a seasoned air traveller, sensed the ship was headed downward. By the look on the girls face, she realized the hostess guessed the same thing.
 Then man exclaimed: Why, we're landing"
 T believe SO" smiled the girl 1n the uniform, trying to ease the tension Please be calm. I am sure everything is all right. Forced landings are not uncommon"
 Judith ctanced a glance at Burke. He was sitting erect his right hand hidden beneath his coat. The foreigner, too, was walt ing expectantly. She shifted her gaze quickly to the man in front Of her. and as she did so, he stood ID. Her heart rose in her throat. .You heard the lady" he roared Mruffly. "Take 1t easy.
