by Lawrence A Keating E1N AL UNSl ALMENT "You get the snow. I want the ~-§n—alive. But there’s to be no stilling of Graber, understand? Not Unless it's self defense.” Worriedly, Dan watched the re petition of farms. He berated him self for bungling back there in his office. Over-confidence had ruined the whole game. A swelled head! Otto had certainly been swept off his feet by the news that Irita, known to him as Helen Fane,j and Colwell, were Customs Special Agency operatives! It naturally had never occured to Graber that a Graber-Vael Agency sleuth might also be a representative ol Uncle Sam. i Admiration rose in Colwell’s blue-grey eyes. Irita had taken chances, insinuating herself with those fellows! It was like walking a tightrope ever Niagara Fads. By estute means known only to her clever, resourceful self, she had prevented the rascals quarreling over her. Yet she had won and maintained their confidence. That hectic ride lasted five min utes less than an hour. But Ewing, Pennsylvania, a country town of perhaps a thousand souls, was not their goal. As thew careened down the main street Dan turned to Lefty. "Now which way? It’s up to you to find the camp!” Quillen nodded. "Straight ahead, buddy,” he told the driver. "The second road outside tjown, turn left. Hit it up!” | Another thirty minutes dragged past. Despite his efforts at calm, Colwell’s tension heightened. They turned off the main road, went two miles down a muddy country lane, and halted when Quillen or dered the driver to do so. The two men piled out. "Guess you earned the ten-spot.” Dan paid the fare and handed it to him. "Suppose you roll back in three hours?” They waited until the rattly cab was gone. "Come on,” Quillen snapped, and led the way into the towering forest. It was rapidly growing dark; in fifteen minutes it would be like night. But the killer of McDonold and Catterbv seemed to know the way. Another mile they traversed a foot before Lefty stopped and touched Dan’s arm. It’s up there. See that cabin?” Colwell could not at first make1 it out. Going nearer, they found it dark. The two men exchanged questioning looks at this. Dan felt his heartbeat slow, then go faster. Suppose their guess was wrong? Suppose Graber still was back in the city? Cautiously they approached the square log structure with the slant- 1 ing roof extended over a front porch. There was no light in it, no : car nearby no sign of habitation. ] Quillen seemed concerned. He walked to a side window and peer- j sd in. Then both men went to the ] front door which they found lock- i ed. Again they peered at earh : sther—it was dark now—and again . were in wordless agreement. They ' put their shoulders to the door and i after several efforts of their com- : bined power, burst the cheap hinge lock. < Dan struck a match. "We won’t i light that lamp—we don’t need it.11 Just want to see if their things are i gone.” j ( Several matches flickered and ] died before they convinced them-' i selves that the hunting party had; not abandoned the shack for good, i Two deer rifles were there, one of ; them identified as Graber’s. A sup- ( ply of canned food, coffee, and ( bacon, was found. ( "They’re coming back,” Colwell . stated. I He walked to the door and star- < :d at the black sky. Suddenly, al- 1 most a mile of the countryside flared alight, and at the same time ie became conscious of the whine i if a motor. "Lefty! There’s a 1 alane!” f Quillen followed at his heels onto r :he porch. It^was a flare the ship t lad dropped, used when a pilot j ;eeks an emergency landing field, j Hie motor roared loudly now and t n the slow-burning three hundred t :andle power magnesium they found the ship itself circling. It i was quite low. A cabin job of the 1 Monogram make with a powerful ; Whirlwind motor. h By mutual consent when the|l flare died at the end of its appoint < ;d three minutes, Quillen and Col- 1 well rushed to the fringe of woods, i They judged that Graber—if it was he—intended landing some- j where to the south. Both men ran < fast as they could over hard, un- : wen ground. Until two minutes < ater, they burst suddenly from the i :opse of trees onto a wide, flat s :learing. a "Sure! I remember this. But I c lever thought Otto could use it f :or landin’,” Lefty panted. r Colwell determined the direction e >f the wind and knew which way jraber must face to land. As the -s hip banked, coming lower, he t tarted at a dead run for the spot t t was due1 t.o touch. But he had s orgotten Graber’s second flare. t It burst alive suddenly, illumin- a ting the two men who raced across jl he cleared space. "Down!” Col- h veil yelled, and hurled himself C lat. With a searing curse Quillen e ollowed suit. But they had been seen. . . The f notor, which had been cut out, g licked up with a roar. The ship’s h lose lifted as Graber put her into v climb. Dan’s heart stuttered and e eemed leaden in his breast. They b lad given themselves away! j Vingefull,y Quillen raised his f mtomatic. He, too, could utilize he still burning flare that swung b ower on its small parachute. He ired, twice, three times. Foolish, h if course. It seemed useless. c Or was it? The monoplane was s >nly two hundred feet up. Sud- 1 lenly the motor sputtered. It died t ind the plane rode without a sound, rhe white magnesium still made v he field almost bright enough to \ ■ead a newspaper. The motor s licked and Graber increased his c evs anxiously. It sputtered, choked ( —went completely dead. o "He’s got to come down!” a The words were scarcely out of Colwell’s mouth before he and Quillen r>se full height with a jerk. ( -efty gave an ejaculation. Dan’s c aw sagged; he was speechless. (His a yes like agates followed the sharp t woop of the aircraft, nose fore- s nost but side-slipping badly. There was a splintering crash, n fhat mass the undercarriage and t :he wing tip. Yet the monoplane ike a wounded bird bumped and loundered along with diminishing peed, pushed by her momentum. \ncther yell from Quillen—trees coming up close before the ship— ind a louder rending of metal and vood and fabric. Quicker of wit, Colwell was lashing for the ship before that inal catastrophe. It was a hundred rards that seemed never-ending, riis great fear was of a sheet of lame that would burn them all to t crisp and prevent any interfer :nce, any saving of life. It did not come. In the dying ight of the flare which had struck 'round somewhere, Colwell saw a orm crawl out. "Stick ’em up!” te shouted. The man did—but with a gun n his hand. It lanced fire. Colwell’s iat left his head as though wiped >ff by some invisible hand. The text instant he realized that this :hap was not the first to alight, rhe first fellow was hidden behind he crumpled wing and had opened ire. Lefty Quillen’s forty-four roar d. He was closing in as fast as he :ould. As he struck ground Dan ealized that Irita Doran was on he floor of the partially demolish a cabin of the monoplane—help ess though she squirmed and bat led her bonds. Dan groped on his knees, shoot ng. The second man to alight ;ave a yell and toppled. Dan saw Duillen locked with the other hap;; Vael. He rushed for his iwn quarry. The fellow lay still . . but when Colwell got within en feet, his figure dim in the half overed ship’s ground lights still iurning. Graber! They struck. Both heavy, the ter ific impact merely jarred them. Neither gave way. Graber’s square ace was contorted into hate and age that Dan never had seen there efore. Perhaps also there was des eration at knowing they had out uessed him to arrive here first and hat now he battled the last time, o win or lose. His stubble of hair felt hard as he bristles of a brush to Dan’s land. They mauled and punched nd grappled for the guns. Col vell's twirled from his grasp. It lit wing fabric with a ping. Otto 5raber got in a murderous left 100k that grazed Dan’s jaw. Had t landed all would have been over. But it didn’t land, and Colwell mt new savagery into his attack, iraber’s gun exploded upward— nd again. In the darkness they ould scarcely see each other; there tas only feeble light from the ting lamps. They stumbled back gainst the metal stirrup at the pen cabin door. Dan’s lucky right Iattened Graber’s big German ose. Blood spurted from it as wat r from a fire hydrant. Otto howled. Colwell tried to rrap both arms around him to end him back out of control on be floor of the cabin. Graber side :epped, and his terrific blow to ae temple stunned Dan. He was tvare of shots a distance off and efty Quillen’s scream. And that e himself was weakening, that Iraber was more powerful than he /er had estimated. He punched again with both. sts and suddenly grabbed tor thel un as it swung nearer a line with, is face. Their hands struck; the ■eapon slipped; it was gone. Grab panting, jammed Colwell ack. His head hit an iron support jst inside the cabin. Things got 3ggy Something cold came into his and. "Dan! Dan!” It was a scream uttered close to is ear. Venomously he swung that old thing, swung it at Graber’s kull. And it landed with a low, ollow sound that thrilled one clear o the pit of the stomach. Otto crumpled. He twisted and friggled on the ground while Col fell slowly collected himself and tood swaying groggily, forced to ling to the open cabin door or fall, iraber’s writhing hand paused n the dark ground. He raised his rm suddenly— "Look out!” Graber grasped it just as Lefty! )uillen limped up. Dan reached ut and with a kick at Graber’s rm tried to dislodge the gun. And he first shot did go wild. But the :cond took effect. Lefty Quillen, knifer of two ten Dan knew about, gave way at he knees. A dot blackened his forehead and an expression of bit ter surprise stamped his face. He uttered a low moan—then folded in a heap. Dead. Dan straddled Otto Graber. He clouted him with his own automa tic until Graber slumped uncon scious. Then Colwell, very un steady and warm blood trickling down his shoulder went uncertain ly to the fellow Lefty had tussled with. Horace Vael was badly mauled and weeping drunkenly with the rage that was in his help less body. Dan lurched back to the cabin. He had Irita free :n a matter of seconds. "We’ve got to tie them!” He nodded. "Their belts—will do. Until we—can get rope from1 the cabin. You—all right?” he panted. "Yes. Oh Dan, Dan, I—” Shud-j ering, she shook her head. "How did you know? How did you guess they’d fly here? How did you come so fast? We were stalled—motor trouble. "He meant to kill me. Vael was a little afraid, but he was for it, too. Graber said he’d do it because you—” what:* he asked wearily. t^ol-J well folded the girl in his arms and inhaled the fragrance of her hair. "The snow’s in there, eh? All of it? Good. Graber said he’d kill you because I—what?” She nestled closer to him. "Lov ed me.” Colwell considered a moment, tie was growing faint and weaker. "Sure,” he said, and with a great effort chuckled. "I do. You know that! I—there hasn’t been much— chance to say it. But—” He strug gled for breath to go on. "There will be, lots of chance. From now on!” THE END.

Bushnell j School of English, j International Correspondence Schools | COME writers have a tendency to make too frequent use of the comma, but how important the comma can be is illustrated by a document discovered a few years ago in Spain, which seemed to show that Sir Walter Raleigh was not, as is generally supposed, the first to introduce tobacco to Europe. The document was a will drawn in the year 1523, more than half a cen-, tury before Sir Walter smoked his first pipe. The testator named as ore of his heirs a man seemingly des cribed as “Antonio, tobacco mer chant of Lisbon." Closer examina tion of the will, however, convinced scholars that the proper reading was “Antonio Tobasso, merchant of Lisbon.” Thus the placing of a comma threatened to depri-ts Raleigh of his fame as the patron saint of tobacco.
