Money" CHARLES GRAffT

CHAPTER XXXII At last Joe saw one man, followed closely by first two and then three others, slip out of the club and glide like shadows, to disappear into the sedan across the street. It was away in the same moment, slipping all but noiselessly out of the line. Then a straggle of men cut across the street towards Joe’s car. and he stepped on the clutch pedal and shifted into gear promptly as Carmine, panting, dropped something heavy on the floor of the open car and slid in after it, over the door. A single shot split the silence as thev started, with the last man just making the running board. It was followed by half a dozen other reports, loud and close, and by a patrolman’s piercing whistle. “For God’s sake, jazz it!” Carmine hissed in his ear. “Ain’t you got no pickup at all?” The pickup was all right and Joe was as anxious as anybody to gather speed. As he neared the corner, another car swung out of line just ahead of him, blocking him momentarily. More shots came from behind and the men around him were sheltering themselves as best they could, firing back and cursing Joe for a slowness he could not help. He saw people crowding out of the night club. Joe’s ears buzzed and hot and cold knives of fear stabbed him through interminable, intolerable seconds of creeping and braking. Then the car in front moved ahead and Joe cut around it. The light ahead of him was red, but his foot pressed heavily on the accelerator and he sideswiped a truck, narrowly avoiding collision with two cars coming across his path. A policeman hurrying around the eorner sent a couple of shots after them. The car swerved, and Carmine grabbed the wheel. “Get the kid back there!” he yelled. “He’s hit —” He jerked at Joe's legs to free them from lerer and pedals, steering frantically with the other hand, until the men pulled the boy into the back of the car. Carmine slid over into the ■ driver’s seat. He quickly turned into a quiet , street and reduced his speed so they ; would attract little attention. It , was only a question of minutes be- , fore their license number would be broadcast by police radio to all patrolmen in the five boroughs. The faster they were traveling the more likely they would invite a checkup, while luck m.ght carry theal ] through until there w-s an opr or- j tunity to change their license j plates. Carmine lit a cigarette and asked ( over his shoulder. “McCarthy hurt , bad?” “He’s bleeding buckets! He’s all choked up. Can’t talk nor nothing. , He musta stopped one of them last two balls. We ought to take him to a hospital maybe.” Carmine stopped the car for a moment and felt Joe’s pulse. "He’s gone,” he said. “Guess we'd better take him home,” Car- 1 mine decided. 1 They now drove directly to the McCarthy house. They parked in ’ front of it. talking in whispers, got i the boy's still lax warm body from l the back seat where it had been propped, and laid him on the porch 1 before his own front door and departed rapidly. Trained in moving unobtrusively, ' •hey tried to be quiet about it, but Pat-rick McCarthy, wakeful, and strangely apprehensive, heard noises and went downstairs to investigate. He opened the front door and switched on the porch light. For a moment he failed to see the prostrate body of his son, and got the impression that the porch, the little front yard beyond, were empty. Then his eyes fell on the slumped bundle of Joe’s dark clothes, his upturned face, piteously marred by blood, that stained the chin and eheeks and open mouth, while brow and temples were white about the staring eyes. “Heaven help us!” whispered Patrick McCarthy. His heart quailed, but with a great effort he held onto Consciousness. He lifted a hoarse ary for his wife, for Cathleen, and ■

then, crossing himself, he dropped on his knees beside hie dead boy. tee 1 Laura Ingrain was lying relaxed on a day-bed with a facial pack covering her features when she ’ heard her husband enter his bed- “ room adjoining hers. , “Oh, Jasper—” she called in a curious voice, produced by inability 1 to do more than part her lips ' slightly. “I'm glad you're early. You haven’t forgotten we’re dining ' with the Gormans and going on to the League ball? I'm a patroness, 1 you know, and so ia Augusta Gorman.” “I had forgotten it. I don't feel particularly festive, but I’ll be ready. Oh, by the way, my dear, here’s a letter for you, came to the office.” She reached for the envelope blindly. “I'll open it when I get this stuff off my face. It has to stayon about another ten minutes,” she said. She played with the four corners of the letter as she rested. This facial mask did wonders for her complexion. She ought to be looking her best, in the grey satin and old lace evening dress which was among her latest purchases. She would wear her emeralds with it, for the dress needed a touch of color. If only she could wear the Infanta's rubies! They would be superb against soft grey, and it was really too cruel to own such jewels and not exhibit them! Her maid came in with the welcome news that the mask could come off. She removed it, and Laura sat up, with small fragments of the pack adhering to cheeks and brow and chin. As Suzanne fetched cold cream and soft tissues to deal with these, Laura remembered her letter and indifferently opened it. She bundled it back into its envelope with some confusion as Suzanne returned. “I shall rest a while longer,” she said. "Clean me up, then go. I'll ring when I want to dress.” The brief printed notice from the bank that had leaped to her eyes had destroyed all possibility of rest. Instead of being relaxed and peaceful, she was tense and nervous. She looked at the notice again How out of key with the urbane friendly tone of Mr. Higgins when he had arranged the loan was the cold impersonal wording of this notice! “This notice is sent to you as a matter of courtesy to serve as a reminder of the due date, and your attention on or before maturity will be appreciated.” Nor was the signature that of Mr. Higgins’, but of someone she didn't know. The more Laura Ingram pondered the notice, the more unequivocally it seemed to mean that the bank expected her to pay half a million dollars, plus what was surely an iniquitous amount of interest She would have to see Mr. Higgins again, of course, and ask him what was to be done. No doubt she would see him tonight, for he was a rather gay old bachelor, and tonight’s ball was one of the season’s social events. Sure enough, one of the first people Laura saw was the banker. Ingram saw him too, and returned his bow across the crowded floor-space with noticeable coldness. .Laura therefore made her greeting ail the more gracious, and demanded. “Why did you merely duck your chin at Mr. Higgins. Jasper? He's such a charming man.” “I suppose that's why you beamed on him the way you did.” said Jasper. “He’s no friend of mine, and I find him far from charming.” There was no time then for further discussion, and Mrs. Ingram, besieged by other guests, told herself that Jasper’s little business enmities needn't affect her social friendships. Little later in the evening she caught sight of Mr. Higgins again, and. with a smile, summoned him to her side. “I wanted to speak to you about that note of mine,” she began. “I got such an odd abrupt notice about it today. Won’t you tell them not to send me that sort of communication? It’s upsetting! And won’t you arrange, as you promised, to have my loan go on for another two i months?”

d Mr. Higgins looked suddenly grave, no longer the smiling elderly playboy who had just been dancing d with Millicent, nor yet the deferenk tial and obliging banker who had e been so ready to advance her half a - million dollafs in the first place. He spoke of changed business cona ditions, of new policies and the uny certain future. He would make no s promises at all. and ended by advis- -. ing Laura if she had not already ; done so, to brinp the note to her a husband’s attention. i, "I’m afraid it must be met,” he - said austerely, and excused himself, leaving Mrs. Ingram now really 1 disturbed and frightened. s “Jasper, come in here a minute,” . she said faintly when in the small ? hours of the next morning they reached home. “There's something ? I want to speak to you about. This!” t She sank down on the side of her ' j bed, motioning Suzanne, who had ' waited up for her as usual, into the dressing-room. ' Ingram frowned in stunned ini comprehension as he read the notice ' from the bank regarding her note. • “Is this a joke ?” he asked. I “Oh, no, dear. It's because Mr. 1 Higgins ient me this money, you ! see. You refnember I asked you ; about it first, nearly two months ago. when I had that wonderful op- ' portunity td buy those royal Span- ' ish rubies. I—” “Laura, are you mad! Are you telling me that you went to Higgins for this money—my God. a cool half-million!—without telling me—■ involving my credit like this—” Jasper was weary, too, and he spoke violently, as he had never before spoken to his wife. He advanced towards the bed furiously and Laura cowered taking refuge in easy defensive sobs. “How can you speak to me like tnat!” she cried. “You know if I made a mistake it was quite innocently -because I'm only a woman, and—don't pretend to understand your business ways! Mr. Higgins was—so nice about it at first! And you said—in a little while you could pay a million for them, quite easily, and I thought—l'd never have such a chance again in the world! Why, it took a revolution in Spain to give me this one!” She cried a little more, after saying all she could think of to say in her own defense. Wiping her eyes presently, she saw that he was no longer looking so angry, but wore the blank expression which meant that he was thinking deeply. “What must I do about this notice, Jasper?” she asked, gathering courage. "Please tell me what I ought to do.” "You! Nothing!” He laughed harshly. “Except you may have to give up your precious rubies, and all your other gewgaws, too, and this house and Grangefields and everything else we have—” “Jasper! You have ever so much more money than half a million. Don't be absurd!” “It's this call for half a million — which must be met —coming on top of a lot of other difficulties that you couldn’t possibly understand,” he explained impatiently. "I’ll take care of this note. You needn’t bother your head about it. But never-never, under any circumstances—are you to do such a thing this again—do you understand, Laura? I won't say any more now about what you've done, because you may have to pay for it yet; you'll be the chief sufferer if all this edifice of wealth and position is pulled down on our heads . . . and the chances are it will be!” Laura felt quite comfortable now about the note, since Jasper was going to take care of it. Os course a man had to be allowed to say ail that about being ruined. It didn’t mean a thing. That was only his way of impressing on her that she mustn’t again try to get money by signing a note. She quits understood that. She was disappointed ia Mr. Higgins, and would certainly ask no more favors of him. Still, she had the rubies. ... What a pity it was that she hadn’t had this scene with Jasper before the league ball instead of after it. For then she could have worn the rubies- which would have looked s« | well with the grey satin. | (To Be Continued) ( npvnth' 113*. lin irMtutai ttyndieaU. Im.
