THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1930 PAGE SIX JS BIG SHOT LITTLE OBPHAN ANNIE By Harold Gray "1 J by FRANK L PACKARD - Chapter M ' THK CLKTAIN PALLS Wattlna; In th darkness for the frlm rackaom with U Bif Slim that seemed Inevitable, Enid and PhU clears ud the mlamderiUnd' Ins that a few noun before had threatened to main their romance. Neither mentioned the mental anguish they endured with atout hearts aut Enid related the strange atorjr of her three days' adventure for which he wa now to pay terrible toll. Tfaroagh it an PhU came to see the freat lore of this flrl who had given ne thought to her own per sonal danger In an effort to first turn the footsteps of her brother tram a criminal career and then to ave the Blf Shot and the man She loved from each other. Then followed lonf minutes of alien oe as each made another effort to free themselves from the bonds that cut Into their wrists. "Have have you loosened your bands any?" she asked tremulously. "No," he answered. "Have your' "Mo," she said; and then, sud denly, tensely: "Phill" "What 4s Itr" "DM you hear anything?" "No." It was more audible now. "Listen!" she breathed. "Now do tou hear it?" "Yes." he said. "There's someone working at the bar that fastens the door and doing It as If he didnt want to be heard. "That's queer! Neither spoke now. A minute passed another. Then the door creaked slightly, and Enid could see that it was being slowly opened end the next Instant the ray of a flash light picked out both Phil and herself. "Keep yer maps dosed while I cut youse loose!" cautioned a voice in a hoarse whisper. A man was standing beside her; a knife was sawing at the cords around her. It could nt be true that they were to be set free! Who are you?" she breathed wildly. "Why are you doing this?" "Didnt I tell youse to keep yer face shut?" he answered brusquely. "If youse don't ask no questions youse wont be told no lies an' wot youse dont know wont hurt youse. Beef Youseer in luck dat youse picked out tonight to come here dat's all!" She was free! A moment later Phil was at her aide. His arms enveloped her for a moment. "An' come along now, de both of youse an watch yer step, an' dont make no noise! Oct roe?" their liberator admonished. She felt Phil's arm go round her and hold her for a moment. The guide, still indistinct and shadowy, led them across the yard to the road. The man halted and pointed along it. "Dat's de way youse goes," be said; "not de other way! Under stand? The road 11 get youse some, wheres If. youse stays wld it long enough. "Now beat it an beat it hard!" Ha had disappeared in the shadows. "PhU, what does It mean?" (he asked. "I dont know," he answered. They went on along the road but it was not two mile, nor in deed more than a meager fraction of one, before they halted. And the minutes sped. And then they went on again. There was no sign of life. They saw no houses. The road Itself was little more than a wagon track. "Do you know where we are, Phil?" she asked. "No; I dont," he answered. "There's nothing to do but keep on going." "Yes." she said. "I" The words died on hla Hps. They had come to a sudden halt, and were staring through the darkness each into the others face. From far behind came the muffled sound of an explosion another and still another. And then, more lainuy. but still distinct and unmistakable on the night air. the sound of rapid firing. -What Is it? Oh. PhU, what Is it?" she cried sharply. "Bombs! Machine guns!" His answer eama through tight lips. "That's it 1 see it now! Dont you remember that warning over the telephone that the Big Snot wouldn't listen to? It was 'Inside stuff,' after all and evidently not merely a matter of the trucks, either! It looks like a clean-upl I fancy we know now why we were let out of that Dam we were oon ouslr not friends of the Big Shot!' "Twisty Morgan's gang!" There was a sudden horror in her voice. "What what do you suppose has happened?" There was another burst of fir tng. Then silence. "Ood knows," he said soberly. "I only know that I must get you somewhere when you will be safe tonight. Tomorrow we will know.' They went on along the road again, but Enid stumbled a utile now. It was evening in the Gondola restaurant. Pail who had Joined Enid at her table but a moment before was speaking. "I've Just aiade toe rounds." be said. "Then are some in the hos pi tale who are not likely to pull through; but toe dead so far have all been Identified the Big Shot. the Kanes, Izxy Myers, and a fel low known as Alias Joe." He pulled a paper from his pocket and laid at down on the table betore her. "Here's the latest edition. Do yon want to read any more about it?" Her eyes caught the headlines: rOUB GANGSTERS KILLED Woman Among Victims of Bombing by iUral Gang Eyes blurred, sba shook her bead as she pushed the paper away from her. "Oh, PluL- she whispered. "it- It Is awful enough to think that these murders mean safety for us; but it it all seems to mean some thing so much snore, to go so far beyond anything In a personal way. Don't you understand? It is the fact that such things as these can happen. It it seems almost be yond belief! 'And even yet, and though I know it all to he so terribly true out of my own experience. I can hardly bring myself to realize that these conditions not only exist in ail their murderous defiance of the law, but are actually flourishing in the heart of a civilized community today! He reached his band across the tbla and laid it over hen. He remembered the night when at this very taoie ana had torn nun her reason for coming to New York and now his smile was gently quiz. steal as he looked at her, and there was a strange mingling of tears spoke. Why dont you write a book about It?" be asked. THE END. LADIES' AID MEETS Turner Mrs. I. H.
