Only the Brave
By PAUL EVAN LEHMAN
Ch&Dter 31
His bodv was numb but he was
telling hlmseU that he mustn'i
tail now. He lav use a ueau i.
lor a dozen seconds, then gath
mrA hi .t.renfrt.h for & final effort.
He started to crawl toward the
office door. Outside he could heai
Irotningnam caning w uicu w out-
wtunri tVio hnil.1l
Jeff stood in the middle of tht
floor tightly bound hand and foot.
He could not move without fall
ing. Glenn was working on Con
nie. He had tied her hands behind
her and then, making her sit In
a chair, nao oouna ner amuec.
Now be was twistlna a scarf to
moua a cnir. A.t he worked he
! talked. He had to talk. It would
have been safer to kill them both
: as he had outlined to Jeff, but
that would leave his revenge un-
llnished. He wanted Jeff to re
' allze how full this revenge had
' been.
h. iri ti Connie. "Sorry
: fcnvA e do this, but it can't be
helped. I'll have to DUt you into
i the closet wnere youu oe out ui
. sight, and It would ae emoarrass
lntr If vmi were to make a sound.'
Jeff had no Illusions regarding
their fate. With nimsen aeau,
' rupnn's safetv was assured. Dro-
: Tided that Connie did not betray
him. Glenn would shoot nis ios
1 ter brother, deliberately, callously,
nrl claim that he had tried to es-
cape. And with Jeff out of the
r way nobody would know that Con
nie, bound and gagged, had been
stuffed In the closet behind the
thick curtain. Nobody but Glenn.
What he intended to do with her
Jeff did not know. He might just
Soceed to forget that she was
ere.
He glanced desperately about him.
His gun lay on Glenn's desk, six
feet away; he could reach It in
two hops, but his hands were bound
behind his back and long before
he could use it Glenn would kill
him. Perhaps Glenn had left it
there to tempt mm. on tne iioor,
three feet behind him, lay the gun
Connie had dropped. If he fell
backwards I
Glenn finished tying the gag
and Connie was helpless. Picking
her up, he backed through tne
entrance to the closet, his mock
ing gaze on Jeff as though daring
him to try for the gun on the
desk. He came out almost im
mediately and drew the curtain
so that It covered the entrance.
His gaze had not left Jeff even
wnen bacKing into me closet, and
be held a Derringer in his hand
The front door latch rattled
and both men turned their heads.
They heard a shout and then the
crash of a shot. Almost at once
there was a second shot, then the
slam of the door, the sound of
two uncertain steDs and a heavy
thud. Glenn glided to the door
way and peered Into the reception
room. He raised his gun, then low
ered it. He turned back Into the
room.
"It's Slug Benjamin, and he's
gne to his reward," he said. "Slug
enjamln. Significant name. It's
a wonder you didn't associate It
with somebody else we both knew."
"I did," said Jeff calmly. "With
Benjamin Short, the man who
Cave your father the fake alibi."
Glenn started. "You know?
Thought I'd surprise you. So he's
been talking, has he?"
"Plenty. Enough to hang you,
Glenn."
"Yes?" Glenn's face was unpleas
ant. "We'll see about that."
Outside the house they could hear
BUI Frothlngham calling to his men.
Glenn went on. "You know, Jeff.
I've been looking forward to this
ver since the night you hanged
my father. You took an oath that
night and so did I. And I'm keep
ing mine just as well as you've kept
yours. My oath was to make you
and your father pay' for what you
did.
"I took every cent you offered
me and asked for more; I drove
you to sacrifices. I made you work.
You went hungry, but I didn't.
Keeping me In cash broke your
father and helped kill him. I was
(lad of it. It kept you from getting
ahead; every time you showed signs
of making progress I found I need
ad more money, more clothes"
he chuckled "or an office In Brls
eoe." The voices of men were louder
now, and boots clumped along the
passageway leading from street to
alley.

"You'd better hurrv." said Jeff,
'or you won't have time to finish."
"I'm about through," said Glenn.
Not oulte as detailed as I'd like
m have made It. but it will have
io do."
"A killer and the son of a killer,"
dald Jeff calmlv. "I'm glad you
spared me long enough to learn
the truth."
Flame kindled in Glenn's eyes and
the Derringer whipped up. Jeff
threw himself backwards, his fin
gers tensing to clutch at the gun
which lay on the rioor behind him.
Foolish, of course; he was bound
and he must roll over and fire
wildly in Glenn's direction. But
it was better to die trvlne than to
stand like a docile steer while the
Duuet crashed into his forehead.
Kven as he was going down he
knew that it was hopeless. He
could see Glenn's burning eyes as
they stabbed at him over the twin
barrels, barrels which followed his
movement, which In a split second
would spit their lethal contents
Into him.
And then, through the doorway
to the reception room, came an
orange stab of flame and a thunder
ous report. Glenn staggered side
ways, almost knocked off his feet by
the impact of the heavy .45 slug.
The gun jumped from his hand
and clattered to the floor. An
other booming shot and he went
down In a heap. Slug Benjamin, on
his stomach and half through the
doorway, stared at him with glar
ing eyes: then the smoking six-gun
dropped from his fingers and he
went limp witn tne complete inert
ness of death.
