Then she headed for Barton Powell's room. The explorer, his eyes still band aged, was asleep when she entered which must drive her back into hiding, toward the man she would have to leave perhaps forever. With anguished rage she crushed the paper in her hands' and sobbed. ifAHCel; It's you!" cried the SUA matt. -, .

She closed the door softly behind her, then went to the bed and gazed down at the man she loved. Her hand barely touched his hair but she did not dare waken him. In stead she sat down quietly In the chair by the bed and stared straight ahead, mentally reviewing the scene she had Just left. For hours she sat there. The room grew cold and she drew Powell's dressing gown about her shoulders. Finally, huddled In the chair, she dropped off to sleep. She was awakened by the rustle of a newspaper as it was shoved under the door. For one bewildered moment she stared around, wonder ing where she was. Then she saw the sleeping man and smiled. Final iy her attention went to the door, where the front page of the news paper fairly screamed at her: "MARY BURNS FLEES AS WILSON MOBSTER SLAIN." ' Side by side were the pictures of Mary Burns, Fugitive, Don Wilson, Public Enemy Number One; and the dead Spike. - The paper rattled In Mary's bands and she stifled a sob. "Nurse?" called Powell awaking at the sound. Mary looked from the paper, the federal agents at anytlme. Finally she found work as a dish washer in a railroad restaurant in Salt Lake City. For a while she stayed in her dingy boarding house room every moment when not at work. But the monotony soon drove her almost mad. Buying a heavy veil as a disguise, she finally began going frequently to a little church around the corner. It was while she was praying dur ing the third Sunday service which she had attended that Don Wilson walked Into the church and sat down beside her. When the prayer was ended Mary lifted her head, opened her eyes and stared straight at the man who had been her lover. He was disguised as a railroad conduc tor but she recognized him at once. Terror came into her eyes. She was about to scream when he dapped his hand over her month. . . "Keep your voice down, he said tensely under his breath. "Ill do all the talking. I had to come to you. It's been driving me mad to think what you've gone through . . with out doagh ... without jne, . His voice was strangely emotional and his eyes were fined with a great love for Mary. Desperately fright ened, th girl did not dan mora, for fear that he might km her. "you're mine,"- Ju rjihd, on aj the organ musle swelled. "You've never been out ot my thoughts a minute . . . eVen when the coppers were blasting at me and the whole world was cheering ... tor them to -drill me." She made an Involun tary move away from tim but be tnjsjok its meaning and "spoke r" faster, "We'll move out with 'the ' crowd. Take it easy and put a smile on that pretty little mug of yours. There's a car outside." The Intuition ot the hunted caused bim to turn suddenly at that mo ment Framed In the church door was Q-Man Harper and two of his assistants. "You're under arrest, Wilson." shouted Harper, levelling his gun. "0. K., copper," replied Wilson, bis voice calm. "But when 1 tall." . be whipped his hand Inside his coat and brought it out holding a band grenade "this explodes Oo ahead and shoot you're halt-way to Heav tiu now!" There was Instant consternation in the church. The G-Men saw what Don was holding and did not dare are. The congregation surged back and forth In panic "Walt a minute," shouted Wilson. The congregation Is coming out with me. Set started, but take it easy If you don't want to be blown to bits." Then to Mary he added. Walk by my side . . . every step of the way." And so the procession started while Harper and his men looked on helplessly. Fear of the bomb and the sheer force of bis personality, kept the people herded around Wil son until he and Mary reached their car, started it and roared away with the G-Men. released from their paralysis. In hot pursuit Don beaded for the mountains and drove like mad while Mary crouched beside him, too terrified to speak. His enemies followed close behind and as soon as the city lim its were reached, opened up with their machine guns. One of the bul lets nitked Wilson in the shoulder. He merely shoved Mary to the floor and kept on, driving with one arm. For an hour the race went on, then the gangster's car began to spit and lose speed on the steep grade. It was only a matter of minutes be fore he would he overhauled. His face black with rage, Don crouched under the hall of bullets from the rear ana drove maaiy on. men his eyes lighted with triumph. Ahead loomed a wooden bridge. He crossed It, skidded to a halt, took one of the grenades and tossed It Into the middle of the span. The bridge vanished la that thunderous explosion, and the G-Men were bare ly able to stop their car before diving Into the stream. "Well kid," said Wilson, when they came to a crossroads some fif teen, minutes later. "This road to the right circles back to the city. That's where you're going. They'll never think of you doubling backv He reached Into his trousers pocket and brought out a roll of bills. Blood . from bis wounded shoulder began to stain them crimson. "Take this,1?, he said.
