foolish in leaving Dave and Harry, the roomers, and the cook, at the mercy of the prowler. W hat if one of the men were to return home just as the stranger entered the house? Certainly there would be trouble and there was a good chance that the innocent roomer would be the victim. This thought made her pedal even harder to get across the bridge and warn Earl Harrow before anything happened. She rode on southward, an interminable sprint, it seemed, and each time a car came from behind her she pulled aside and crouched back among the shrubbery on the lawns, until it had disappeared. At last she came to the south bridge. There she turned west and made the final, exhausting dash across the river. From the peninsula shore she could see that there were still many lights burning on the Commander 111. At the dock she threw the wheel aside and ran aboard the boat. One of the “muggs” appeared from somewhere and blocked her way. But he recognized her; she, him. “I have to see Mr. Harrow," she panted. The man stepped aside without so much as a grunt. Harrow appeared in blue dressing gown and pajamas, a pipe in his mouth. “Kay!” he said. “What’s the matter?” She told him. He listened gravely, nodding, without once interrupting her. When she had finished he patted her on the shoulder and said, “You’ve certainly used your bead.” “He may still be there,” Kay said, still a bit breathless. “Ho may,” Harrow agreed coolly. “And we’re going over to have a look.” He stepped down the deck. A man rose. Kay recognized him as the one who had halted her when she came aboard. He and Harrow talked a moment, then Harrow returned. “Excuse me, please," he said. “I’m going to throw on some clothes.” He was dressed in a hurry and when he appeared Spike was with him. sleepy and vague. Kay had to smile when she saw Spike. He had on lavender pajaina trousers and a yellow pullover. But under the pullover was the bulge of his shoulder holster carrying that .38 automatic. “I’d better go, too,” Kay began, but Harrow cut her short. “Not at all! Wouldn't think of it.” “But you’re not familiar with the place. And how would the men,in the house know you from prowlers yourselves if they were to wake up?” “Better let her,” Spike suggested. Harrow’s eyes snapped at him. “I insist,” Kay said, and that was that. The party got into the big car, Harrow driving, Kay at his side, Spike and the two bodyguards in the rear seat. The fast car shot across the bridge, swung with a vicious pull and straining of tires, and headed north on Halifax at top speed. Near the house. Harrow slowed the car down. “We’ll get out here,” he said. They all got out quietly, and Harrow switched off the lights. They walked toward the house. At the yard Harrow ordered: "You circle to the south.*' One of the men nodded, started. To the other: “You go around the other way.” The man mumbled something and was gone. “I’m going up tho drive,” Harrow announced. “Spike, you tag along with Kay. Keep her out of danger, do you understand?” “Yes, sir,” Spika said soberly. Harrow turned and started up the driveway. Kay felt a violent urge to seize him and hold him back, but he was on his way. “Come on, now,” Spike said. “We’ll just slip along through the bushes. If either of the men in the house come popping out, you yell and tell them who we are.” They slipped behind the hibiscus at the entrance to the drive, and. keeping back of the plants that bordered it, worked their way slowly, cautiously toward the house. Spike checked Kay finally by touching her arm. He winked at her solemnly, drew his automatic and made a little motion with his thumb at the side of the pistol. Kay knew what that meant: he was slipping off the safety catch so as to be ready to fire. They stood waiting for what seemed an hour. Suddenly there was the sound of footfalls nearby. Up came Spike’s arm and the blueblack barrel of the gun gleamed in the moonlight. Kay’s nerves flinched at the expected explosion. But the man was Earl Harrow. He and Spike recognized each other, fortunately, at the same time. “Weil. Earl?” “No luck. Haven t seen a soul. “What’ll we do?”

‘l’m going to leave one of the boys here. I’ll post him in the bushes near your bedroom window. Kay You’re coming back.to the boat with us, and when we get to a phone you’re going to call your house and raise one of those men. Tell him where you are, what’s Happened, and that there’s a man watching outside. Tell him to go back to bed and not to pay attention to anything that may happen. Tell him to sneak into your room and switch off the light so that anybody watching would think you’d finally gone to sleep.” “All right," Kay said. “Let’s go, then,” concluded Harrow, crisply. Kay admired his coolness. his competence. Kay was a long time falling asleep that night on the yacht. Still excited by the affair of the prowler, still worried as to its consequences, and considerably aware of the strangeness about her on the boat, she lay trying to think through the situation, but it was no use. Nothing was solved; nothing was even halfway clear to her: maybe nothing ever would be. Only one thing was certain and that one thing was what disturbed her the most; there had been something familiar about the man skulking in the yard. She thought of the men whose affairs were now involved with hers. There was Harrow, but surely he eould not have left his car and come sneaking up into the bushes so quickly. Furthermore, why should he have done anything of the sort? Well then, there was Spike. Spike and Harrow had quarrelled over her; that was true Spike knew all Harrow’s business; Spike, for all his understanding friendship, had a frank and strong desire for her. But that frankness alone was enough to weigh against the possibility of his having been prowling in her yard There were the “muggs, Kelly and Wagner, hired to guard Earl Harrow. And again, why should either of them have been sneaking around her house ? As for the men, whoever they were, who were plotting against Harrow, she was sure she never had seen them. Who, then, could it have been ? And why had he been there ? u. In the morning when tho sun came streaming in upon her, Kay could not imagine for a moment where she was. The sight of th« yacht club across the glistening water seemed decidedly out of place and the bed felt strange. Gradually she began to review the events that had brought her here, and now in the bright morning sun in such clean and beautiful surroundings, the whole business seemed to be a bad dream. But her mere presence on the boat denied that. Lying lazily in the soft bed, she suddenly realized that the mystery of the prowler might have been settled during the night. She jumped up, had a shower and began to dress rapidly. Harrow was on deck with Captain Johnson. When he saw her the producer excused himself and joined her. “Sleep well?” he asked cheerfully. “Perfectly—after 1 finally got over the excitement. But, did anything happen? Did they catch him?” Harrow shook his bead. “Sorry to say. He didn’t come back. Wagner checked in this morning looking like a cucumber after his night in the bushes with the mosquitoes.” “Then we’re, no better off than we were?” Kay said. “You've no idea, I mean, who it was ?” “Not exactly; no. But 1 expected it. And the best part of it is that pothing happened. Kay, I’m awfully sorry about this silly business. I dragged you into it But I wouldnX have for the world. It’s something utterly unexpected—here in Daytona, that is—and it seems a shame just when there were so many pleasant things to do. It’s cutting into my schedule, too.” “You have been delayed here, haven’t you?” “Yes, and I may a few days longer. But then”—and he raised his shoulders slightly and smilcd“it’ll all come out in tho wash.” “I hope so." “You do, eh?" “I do really,” she observed sincerely. „ _ “You’re a nice person, Kay Owen. I’ll admit I can’t understand you altogether, but you’re a nice sort of guy.” “Thank you,” she said. “You’re pretty nice yourself, you know. I’m sorry if you can’t ‘understancr me, as you say. I’m not so complex; really, I’m a very simple soul. I’m afraid." Harrow merely smuw at utu •«- uiitiing nothing, asking nothing. ' ’ ' (To Be Continued) CoprrUht. UH. auu 1 Mlam Smdimu, ma
