Eddie was approaching the stage door as Joyce came out, the re volver in her hand and fear and panic written plainly on her face. Bhe stopped when she saw Eddie, stared at him a moment through wild eyes and then, wttn a sod, stumbled forward into his arms. "I didn't do it," ae wept "I tell you I didn't do it. Oh, it's awful too awful!" Eddie swallowed painfully. "Wfaa- what happened?" Joyce pointed towards the stage entrance "In there a man has been murdered!" The Frame-up Eddie, to her genuine horror, slumped down in a faint. Through frenzied efforts, she managed to re vive him. She resumed her moan ing as soon as she saw that he was coming to. "I didn't do it." she wept. swear I didn't, Sou do believe me, don't youY" "Of course, I believe you," Eddie said. ''You wouldn't hurt a fly. Did anyone see you do it :" Joyce drew away from him "Oh, you don't believe me. "Look," said Eddie, Td better go home. I forgot something for got to stay mere ... And ne nad already turned away when Joyce suddenly let out an amazing shriek. AOb, please," she said, "my hand bag . . .

Eddie swayed slightly, but then remembered the book and straightened up. "Miss Lennox." he said, "for you I'm willing to shed the last drop of Pink blood in uy body." And with trembling, knees but resolute soul, he marched . with Joyce Into her dressing room and picked up the bag on the ground near the corpse. Having completed this heroic ao - tion, his knees suddenly gave way tinder him, but Joyce supported faim "You hero," she cooed. "You won ' derful man. Do see me to my apart ment I'm so afraid." - Vance's mobsters were waiting for them. As Eddie and Joyce got out of the elevator to her apart ment they Were followed by four grim looking men who walked be hind them into the very apartment Ignoring Eddie, they turned upon Joyce and began to grill her in nonvantlnnaJ notice fashion. Vance. "But Ma Carson! She's against gambling. She says the machines are crooked." Vance smiled indulgently. "Crook ed? That's very amusing. I'm afraid Mrs. Carson is hopelessly old fashioned." "But I promised her," said Eddie. "It's up to you, Mr. Pink," said Mr. Vance. "If you want to sacri fice this beautiful innocent girl in the next room ..." "No!" cried Eddie. "No!" "Then," said Vance, "I'll be glad to prove that these machines are on the level." And turning to one of his men, he said, "Bring in that machine from the car, the one we're taking over to the police headquarters for the boys' enter tainment." The machine was brought into the room. "Now," said Vance, "put a quarter in." Eddie put in a quarter, pulled the lever and -eight quarters tinkled into the pay-off cup. Another quar ter and the jack pot came scatter ing out of the machine. "Well. Mr. Pink," said Vance with dignity, "does that look like a crooked gambling device?" "What this country needs." said Eddie, snapping up the jack pot, "is more of these slot machines f" Four for One In this fashion and by this trick Vance's crooked slot machines were installed without Ma Carson's knowledge in Oreamland Park. Eddie meanwhile was seeing a raat deal of Joyce, and for a while seemed as if his foridest dreams were to come true. He had declared his great love for her and die hadn't altogether rejected it From this paradise, however, he was rude- awakened oy uiaribei and Ma rson who had lust learned that slot machines had been installed by order of Eddie Pink. "You have double crossed us," Clarlbel screamed at Eddie. And Ma Carson was overcome with grief. Hon," see saia, -ior over twenty years I have kept out these orookedmachines and now you" "Butrtheyre not crooked," Eddie protested. "Yon put in a quarter and four some out, and sometimes more." And to illustrate, he put in a quarter and pulled the lever. Nothing happened. Another quar ter, and still nothing. Heartbroken, he agreed to return the machines. ttm nrst tney must give mm a chance to rescue the srirl of his dreams; to get her out of town. -Ail ngnv' eaid Clarlbel, with spirit, "and take the train with her!
