CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE Lights wheeled In the streets around them as other ears shot past. People hurried along the sidewalks. An elevated train rattled overhead. Clark drove on and on. At last Patricia touched his arm. “We can't drive forever.” "We won’t, my dear. I'm going to take you home with me." Home with Clark! At those exquisite words the horror ended. Home with Clark! There would be refuge there. She was so tired of struggling, of loneliness, of desperation. And he had asked to share her burden. A hot, wet tear rolled down Patricia's cheek and fell upon Clark’s hand. It was minutes before the man at the wheel spoke. Then he said: “What happened? Where have you been ?” Patricia roused. She had been leaning against his shoulder, spent, exhausted. Now she straightened. Someone must trap Bill McGee before, slipping through the dark waters of the Sound, he escaped. ‘‘l must go to the police,” she aaid once more. “Nonsense,” he said. “That’s nonsense. I know you didn’t kill Julian Haverholt. What we’ve got to find out is—who did?” The police, the newspapers, the whole world believed her guilty of murder, but Clark knew that she was innocent; his faith had never wavered. One of his hands was on the wheel, the other now held her hand tightly as if he would never let it go. And Patricia told her story and was silent. The man’s face was set and white. Without warning he abruptly swung his car about. The headlights described a glowing are, glittered on tbe bare, black branches of the trees that overhung the boulevard,. shone upon the street again. “Where are you going, Clark?” He spoke simply and with finality. “I’m going after Bill McGee,” he said. The night was bitter cold. The air had a bone piercing chill. Patricia shivered as the last turn came and they swung into a mean street redolent with the smell of the wharves. They had arrived at the gloomy cul-de-sac from which she had fled an hour before. All her argument, all her pleading had been in vain. Clark had been determined that he would settle hi s quarrel with Bill McGee, that he and he only would bring the murderer to justice. This was a new Clark, a strangely grim, unswerving man. He brought the car to a silent halt and sprang to the curb. “■You stay here,” he said, and then plunged into the darkness which concealed the pier where the rum-boat lay at anchor. Patricia waited until he disappeared. Then she, too, was on the street, following swiftly in his wake. The wharf was quite deserted, wrapped in night, but there was the sound of his rapid footsteps to guide her on. Suddenly as she turned a corner she came upon the widening river. Boatlights gleamed in distance, and in the bitter wind, black water swirled and washed against the dock’s supports. No boat rode at anchor. The Lazy Mary was gone. Clark turned and saw her there. “McGee has skipped,” he said. “I’m glad, Clark.” “Don’t be glad yet ” the man eras quiet a moment—“ The harbor police are next. There’s no way out r>f it. Are you willing to take the r-hance of recognition ? I don’t think R's very likely.” “I want to take the chance. ’ll need me. I know the boat.”

Clark was already felting his story. Bill McGee had murdered Julian Haverholt, the bridge expert.
Winding along the water front, dodging in and out of sleeping streets, their car brought Clark and Patricia five minutes later to the green lights of a police station. The river was less lonely here. A dozen freight docks within a stone's throw were manned by night watchmen walking up and down. Dodging through the wind, Clark and Patricia ducked into the station. A sleepy-eyed lieutenant raised his eyes as the door of the station was opened and then slammed shut. Several patrolmen, paused from a half-hearted game of pinochle, slouched in from the squad-room in the rear. Patricia hesitated in half panic; then from their casual, uncurious glances, knew that she was safe. Clark was already telling hi s story Bill McGee—yes, they knew Bill McGee by reputation—had murdered Julian Haverholt, the bridge expert. It could be proved. And Bill McGee was now cruising up the East. River, possibly pointed out toward the Sound, possibly lolling in the lee of one of the city islands. The lieutenant tapped his pencil on his teeth. There had been no alarm sent out for McGee, he ventured. So far as he knew, McGee wasn’t wanted. And finding a boat on the river on a night like this was no picnic. He regarded the two at the desk skeptically—a pale and unkempt girl, a young mar laboring under patently concealed excitement. “I'm not questioning your story,” he said doubtfully. “It may be true. But 1 think that you better take the matter up with Headquarters in the morning.” “Tomorrow will be too late.” I wouldn t want to act without orders from Headquarters.” “Get them on the telephone,” said C arit. Get the Commissioner. I'm Clark Tracy. He knows me. I’ll talk to him.” The blue-coated telephone operator got Headquarters on the wire Commissioner Young was home in bed. U was about the Haverholt case Just a m.oote. Would Inspector Ferguson do? No? Just a minute. Eventually Clark heard the commissioner's voice. tJr?- n ? the n , ight visit °r talked, the Lieutenant knew what his or?s e hetT!r bC e Whe, ‘ C!ark finished. half a dozen men in slickers were ready and the police launch

was humming at the pier. I Commissioner, disbelieving at ■ had been convinced.

I “I’ll parole her in your enstol the Commissioner had said.

The police launch was a 1 rakish craft.

Ten minutes passed, fifteen I utes, a half hour. Patricia had gun to despair. She stayed dost Clark, but he seemed almost aware of her presence, his eyes lowing each fresh exploration the cold, white lights. A rain ' coming on and the prelimid drops scattered diamondthrough the moving glare, river widened. The Sound was, ahead. (To Be ContinuH) . C 1932, by King Fe*ture« Syn<iica ff •*
