CHAPTER XXXIV “I have to thank the Boyce!” said Maurice. “Who—Tess? AH she done was let out what you promised her last night. Don’t go packin’ no grouch against that dame—it was Fowler told us first how old Fay Crozier was fixin’ to put a fast one over. He phoned the minute the message come into his office—” “Fowler—Mr. Crozier’s own secretary!” “What’s the matter with that? Way you take on, a person’d think this was the first case of a trusted employee not bein’ on the up and up. Why. that fish’s been feedin’ out of our hands ever since he fell for a night-club moll and started playin’ the ponies with Crozier’s dough so he could slip her presents a miy on his pay couldn’t afford.” “But Fenno will think it was I—” “Say she does- Is she goin’ to think any worse of yon than she would if we’d held back and trusted you to take the emeralds your own way?” “I would have managed so that she would never have suspected—" “Uh-huh, I get you. The Lone Wolf’s youi father, and Papa’s boy simply eouldn’t pull a boner. That’s good here, fella; but the rest of this push aint had my advantages, like gettin’ to know you so intimate and alt It’s one hard-boiled mob, if anyone should ask you. and don’t never take no chances.” The man took time to light another cigarette, and Maurice in the wait was conscious of the noise of his own labored breathing and the ■ muted rumble of his heart. The face that he strove to read through its set leer swam in the smoke like a devil-mask in a mist And with an abrupt gesture that confessed helplessness, he began to range the zoom like a creature in a cage. “Where is Fenno—Miss Crozier?” he presently demanded, halting. “What have you done with her?” “Not a hundred miles from here, and bein’ treated like a lady How many times I got to tell you?” “I must see her.” “Maybe you can after a while. Wait till you quit boilin’ over, and then, if you still think you got to see the li’l lady, and ask right pretty—well, maybe we’ll let you. And again, maybe we won’t.” “But why are you holding her? You've got what you were after, i the Habsburg jewels: what leads you to imagine you have more to gain by kidnaping her?” “Think it over, fella. Didn’t you ever hear of anybody bein’ held as a hostage?” “Fenno a hostage!” “For the good behavior of all conj cemed. For her folks’, to begin with, so they won’t start nothin’ to I crab this deal with the Rajah of Ladore. For yours, because you’ve got this case on the skirt, you're j liable to lie back on us and be noble and all, if it gets worse before it gets better. The same,” the gunman j slyly added, “as you’re a hostage." “For your old man’s good behav- : ior—in case he gets bothered and ; restless, account of not knowing what’s happened to his little one, and pulls a fast one—manages. I mean, to break the jam he’s in on board that steamer, which is the last thing likely.” “You think so?*' Maurice demanded with a lift of lip that eried pride in his paternity. “You don’t, know him. Suppose he does?" “He won’t get a long ways before some kind friend tips him on that his li’l son’s standin’ right on the spot and due to get bumped off it any minute—they’s only two things for I him to do. calm down and he nice or make arrangements with a reliable mortician to sweep up the remains.” “You would murder me!’’ “In a nice way.” Reptilian humor glinted in the eyes that held'

the boy’s. “ And only, y’understand, in case we havo to —in case you or vour old man tries something foolish,” “I am a prisoner, then?” “Not exactly. You’re on probation. You’ve got the run of the hotel here: nobody’s goin’ to interfere with you; for the next twentyfour hours —till the Navarre docks —you can go where you want to and do what you please, in reason. But you won’t go anywheres nor do nothir’ we don’t know about—you’re goin’ to be tailed every minute. So don’t go making any phony passes; chances are the first you make will be your last” “But it was agreed—Mme. Boyce promised—if I would secure and turn over the Habsburg jewels—” “Listen, hombre: Tess Boyce is one grand broad and an all-around square-shooter, but she ain’t the boss of this outfit.” “Who, then—” “What do you want to know for?” "Normal curiosity about the personnel of the organization I am to be identified with—” “Made up your mind to that at last, have you?” “I am not a fool,” Maurice a little wearily pointed out. "But that aside, it must be apparent to you that I am—how do you say it over here?—up against it.” The boy gave a rueful smile, made a sign of capitulation to terms that he could see no way to change, and taking the chair by the table, again swung it back to face his interlocutor. “It would be silly to deny what you have assumed, that I am deeply interested in Miss Crozier —” “Stuck on her, you mean. Cute liT trick—l don’t blame you." “Then you surely understand how I feel about your taking this affair out of my hands without consulting me. Left to myself. 1 should have found a means of stealing the emeralds without making her suspicious; but as it is—l can’t see how she can help thinking I at least connived at her kidnaping. And it’s going to put all my plans out of joint if I can’t find some way to win back her confidence. Obviously, in order to do that. I will have to appeal to the—what did you just call him?—the boss of this outfit Is there any valid reason why you shouldn’t tell me—” “If you put it like that, maybe not.” And the gunman rocked on the hind legs of his chair, deliberating. “Don’t know as there’s any reason why you shouldn't know. Met Freddy Isquith on the voyage over, didn’t you? That’s the master mind, fella.” “Isquith!” “The same, the main squeeze—the quiet li’l swell guy that Fisheye Schwartzstein takes his orders from.” “You’re not making fun of me?” “Not so’s you’d notice it. You’ll hear people all over talkin’ about Leonard Schwartzstein like he was hell and all; but he’s just a stuffed shirt, a false front for Freddy Isquith—the real brains of the racket game in this burg. Lives on Park Avenue and does the heavy social; aint never seen as far West as Broadway except he’s goin’ to a theayter; but the reason why the rackets here keep workin’ without a hitch, day in an’ day out. is because Fred’s the engineer. And—hold fast now, fella, we’re goin’ round a bend—they call me Wally Isham, but Isham aint my name no more than Isquith’s Freddy’s, and I’m his li’l boy brother ” Maurice at this betrayed, as if against ,his will, a gleam of awe. There was. too. a little catch in the breath that respo’'de-i "Really?” “Maybe you don’t believe m». account »f o>» being a rough worker and Freddy slick as a silk stockin’.! but that’s how it is ” The vain ; glorious gancster pitched his chair j 1 back at an angle so acute the only

POINTERS GIVEN TO HORSEMEN r AMI'S. lowa (Uffilbth It AMES. lowa (U.R) -With repoita 1 ot a revived and steadily growing ' market for horses coming In from ' ail parts of the United States, ’ Prof. A. B. Caine, of the lowa i State College Animal Husbandry Deiiartment. recently came forward with a few suggestions which he felt be ot value to Ihe i novice in horse buying. > Prof Caine said it was no so- • cret that the "ton gelding, or - mare, has a limited outlet, but the • stylish chunk of 1.400 to 1.700 pounds” is Just about the best

wonder was that he didn’t lose his balance. “I do my stuff where the goin’ suits me. see. right here on Main Street, same as Freddy does his over there among the high-step-pers, because that’s the track he likes; but I and him. we’re just like that,"—he laced his fingers—“and that way we get 'em goin’ or eomin’. So any time you got anything on your mind, big boy, anything you want the dope on hot from headquarters, spill me an earful—leave it to me to see that Freddy gives it personal attention." “You are very good." “That’s all right I’m one mean guy if you get on the wrong side of me, but you only got to get to know me right, and I'll do anything for you, anything in reason.” "I’m sure.” Lanyard’s son had a shrug and a small grimace of contrition. “Sorry I didn’t understand you better—” “Forget it I wouldn’t hold it against you—the surprise and all. I knew you’d come round all right Boon’s you tumbled. Freddy gave me your number, see, by wireless- - said you’d never been broke to harness yet—that was your main trouble; but once you learned the feel of it, you’d handle as sweet as Gallant Fox and fetch borne as many purses." “I hope so.” Humility was still the key that Maurice struck; but as he gazed on the sleek, hard-surfaced mask of the gunman, all greasy with conceit in himself, the boy's gorge rose. “I feel so much better about everything," he none the less professed, “that I think I'll have a drink with you now in spite of the fact that I seldom take whisky.” “That’s the talk, fella." The chair was on all fours again for a moment, but as soon as he had taken the g!a«’ thas Maurice had replenished for him, its tenant resumed his teetering. “Happy days!” he brightly saluted, setting the drink to his lips. “To our better acquaintance, monsieur!* And Maurice, sitting back with his own glass, crossed his knees, deftly brought the toe of one shoe under the nearer foreleg of the chair, and gave it a nieely calculated upward pressure. The gunman toppled, and before he knew why, crashed. Maurice, the son of his father, did a number of things then with all precision and dispatch—set aside an untasted glass and left his chair as the other began to go over, snatched the pistol from its swinging holster while the gunman was still catching wildly at the air, and was at his throat almost before the back of his bead smote the floor. The brother of Isquith thux had yet to finish strangling on his whisky when he found Maurice pinning him down with a knee on his chest and giving him a steel barrel to bite on. , “One yelp out of you, monsieur, and you will never yelp again.” The sense of that penetrated, for all that the wits were still a-rock in a head that had taiven a severe bumping: the gunman, his fit of coughing once over, iay stirless—only hu lungs still labored, and his streaming eyes still rolled wildly. “You understand me. I hope—that the first sound, the first move you make to give the alarm, I shoot?” Half-gagged as he was by cold metal, Isham was able to signify assent only with a gurgle. Maurice withdrew the pistol but held it at the ready as he rose. “Get up." The last suggestion of boyish diffidence and pliancy had disappeared; the boy’s accents crackled with authority. “But be careful—hold your hands clear of your pockets. That’s right. And now. well above your shoulders— 1 Iso! Turn round- halt! As you i*re— ’ (To Be Continued)
