I0Sh.Utstared at the man who had carried her. Th. other on. could ta heard in th. hall outside, shout 1st order at some unseen henchmen. The man returning Liane a stare was iron gray, loosely built. His mouth was a thin, cruel line. Hands in 'pockets, he lounged against ; the lintel, regarding the girl with a bitter, sardonio gate. - "Tou'ro the amart kid who hopped Olnny Weisman over the head down At the gold coast movies," he accused Liane. The girl', heart gav. a wild Hap. Did this explain the strange Adrenrure In which she now found herself ? Were these men friends of that captured bandit who had tried to hold up the box office at the Willows 8tream theatre? But the man's next words ba lled this. , . "Don't get me wrong, h. leered. "Qlnnv's no pal of mine. I just remembered eeeln' your picture in the paper at that time." "Ion talk too much," growled a voice from the doorway. Liane llsnced up to see th. first man s partner glaring at them. "Get out, ' rrowled the newcomer. "Always fall III for a new skirt. Shut your gab And beat it." The man with th. iron gray hair sidled out, muttering. "N'ow, look here girl," began the newcomer in an oily ton. more dis tisteful to Liane than his growl had been. "Ton keep quiet end you won t jet hurt but if I hear you starting Any funny business well, don t, that's all!" "If you'd only tell me what it's All about," Lian. began desperately. The man grinned horribly, with out mirth. "You'll find out what's it All sbont," h. grunted. Taking np till station in th. other broken-down leather chair n. drew a pipe from the pocket of hi. coat and began leisurely to stuff It. Liane noted LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE that his evening clothes were of good queue?, en linen spotless. Doubtless he had menaced to slide bv as on. of the guests of the club. i-iane oeat her hand tog.ther Softiv. Eh. lonked across at the calmly smoking Jailor and aaid again. "Please let me ro. This can't do you any good, you know, Mr. ueeipauga will nave aearcning par ties out." The man smiled evilly. "Maybe w. hadn't thought of that, hey?" "Pretty little) ni.ce. you are." he purred at her. His big hand reached ouc co loucn ner Dare mourner. Lian. aprang back. Like light ning waa her movement am she darted out of th. big chair and away from the man's grasping fingers. But one foot was unshod and the other, in its high-heeled silver slipper, stumbled. She would have fallen if th. man's hateful arm had not reached out to steady her. "Better be good," h. warned. He thrust her back Into the col lapsing chair. His onion-like finger, reached for her supple young love liness again. "Keep away from me," Lian. moaned faintly. And aU at one. everything went black before her. She felt herself falling When Liane opened her eyes th. man was bending over her. Sh. felt cold water, icy water, trickling down her neck. She nut up her hand to her head. Her fingers came away red. "Blood," she moaned faintly. "You fool," the1 iron gray man was saving. From her place on the floor Liane could see him dimly. He was in the doorway looking fiercely at the man with th. cat's eyes. "STou fool, you!" he repeated. "Makln' passes at. her and scarin' her to death ao that ah. passe, out and bumps her head on the corner of the table." He went into the ball and called in a raucous voice, "Molly!" A fat woman in a dirty apron came. She had a red fac with creases in it snd her hair was done in a pancake on top of her head. "Molly, get me tome clean rags and a pan of water," said the man with the Iron gray hair. The woman ambled away. Liane lay there, still half dazed, hating the fetid floor, the smell of blood and the icy water on her face and shoulders. "I thought she was a goner," the man nearest her admitted. "I thought she had paased in her checks." "Xou're a fool," said the Iron gray man. The woman called Molly came waddUng back with some torn strips of whit, cloth, and an earth enware bowl. She said not a word but watched th. man as he lifted Liane to one of the sagging chairs. "Leave me alone," the girl said bitterly. "Tou've done enough." She shrank from his fingers. The man said roughly, "Hold still, you. I'U fix this cut." The woman stood by regarding the tableau curiously out of her beady eyes. Once ah. put out a soiled hand and touched Liana's petal soft dress. "Pretty," she said wonderlngly. Liane looked at her with aomethlng like hope. The woman seemed stupid but not unkind. But presently she waddled away again, leaving Liane alone with the two men and the girl's heart sank, She began to feel desperately sick. Her head was giddy and a hot pain burned in one temple. Her teeth began to chatter as if with ague. "Get her a ahawl." commanded the iron gray man. The man with the cat's eyes went out, grumbling. Liane closed her eyes. The room whirled around her. Now th. second man was follow ing the first from the room. "We're not supposed to hurt her yet," she heard him say. She tried desperately, but failed. She was grateful even for the comfort of the ateful prickling robe someone pre sently threw over her shoulders. She heard the woman'a cackling voice and the iron gray man'a rumbled command, "Watch her a minute, I've got to go to the garage." He returned to . Liane, shook her by the shoulder. "Mind now, no funny business!" he warned her. "Molly her. has a gun. Th. place la watched. You stay where you are if you know whafs good for you." Llano nodded.
