Gamblers Throw SYNOPSIS! Racing alana In an airplan Jerry Calhoun and hi riend, Emory Battle, tearch lor thn kidnaper of Nancy Went' worth and two well-known mil lionaire. In letter demanding rantom the kidnaper hav given tnttruction to leav the money in u rou'boiit moored ten mike southeast ot the ilontauk point lighthouse. No boat mau remain within eight mile of the rowboat But Jerry and Emory hope to trick th gang by using an air plan tor purtult. Jerry I partic ularly concerned with catching the men, because h wa wilh Nancy ,whn h was abducted, and al though he wa hv.rt in an attempt to help her he feet responsible for her oapture. That th oaptort art of tuperior inlallittenc i plainly teen from the letter. No promiso ho been made a to th rtum ot the prisoner, but there ar veiled threat about the re ult it instruction art not car ried out. Chapter 5 THEY'RE AFTER THE MONEY" JERRY'S eycj followed the line ot Emory's pointing arm. There, itrhaps eight miles from shore, ere three chlld's-slze destroyers, (teaming eastward In a fan-shaped formation. Four or Sve minutes later, off Southampton, another lould be seen, Idling along a mile r two off the beach. Between East Hampton and Amagansett they flew arer a half-dozen coast guard boats. The plane was flying at Its cell tag, sixteen thousand foet, when Ita The man leaped from the lower wing of the plane Into the rowboat crew saw the lighthouse at Mon tauk point slide beneath their lower wings. They gazed down In aston ishment. Hidden on the Gardiner'! bay side of the point were four more picket boats and another destroyer. Between the potnt and Block Is land oould be seen several ot the larger rum-chasing patrol craft, which were drifting about, appar ently In designated position, await ing the call to action. Jerry ' turned aharply ' over the lighthouse and headod on a south easterly course bearing straight out to sea. At he had anticipated, be goon saw an almost invisible white peck on the water which repre sented, presumably, the rowboat In which a fortune In hundred dollar bills awaited the kidnapers. From tholr lofty seals Jerry and Emory could see that the authori ties, acting In cooperation with the coast guard, had drawn a network ot ships about the boat from which It would be almost Impossible to escape. Yet each ot the guard ships waa so far away from the rowboat aa to be Invisible at sea lovel. Jerry understood the strategy that was so evident from above. The kid napers' speedboat would undoubt edly be permitted to approach the rowboat unhindered. Having grabbed the aatchel containing the money, the criminals would turn to race for safety. But the chances ot uccesstully eluding the cordon of vigilant ahlps seemed, from the air, to be alight Indeed. - Jerry hoped that he was flying suf ficiently high tu be unobsorved. Emory studied the outlying ring ot ships, rejoicing In the tense ex citement of the moment. What a binge this might turn out to bet He was content with life again for the Irst time In months. Surfeited with the hothouse atmosphere ot Now York night elub lite, he bad turned the key on bis Qramercy park apart ment. For a while, he had enjoyed the quiet calm ot the mld-VIctorlan bouse on Beacon street, Boston. But aa ususl, six weeks of peace bad whetted hla appetite for advonture. He had picked up a two-day-old newspaper with the vague Idea of reading the advertisements of round-the-world cruises when his eye had fallen upon the flrst-pngo story of the spectacular kldnaplngs Phoenix Circle Planning Picnic In Tshland Park PHOENIX.

Mld-way to the bottom ot the first column be had come upon Jerry's name. Forty-five minutes later his roadster was roaring toward the scene of action. Had the dispatch told ot Jerry's Injury In a Paris brawl ha would bare sailed on the uezt steamer. Jerry, the gay-hearted war buddy ot the 199th Pursuit Wing, the never-tailing friend, was the one man In the world whom Emory nerer tired of seeing. The friendship between these two men who had flown, fought and played together lay too deep tor speech. It was something that eacb took as much for granted as the rising and setting ot the sun. Emory stiffened In his eeat, bent far over the cockpit wall and thumbed the focussing wheel of bis binoculars. There, far to the south west, was another airplane, wing ing Ita way atralght toward the cen ter ot the encircled area. It was well below bis slowly-flying plane, forging along at an altitude of about Ove thousand feet. Emory stared at It, trying to distinguish Us type and Ljta markings. vvitn ten or twelve tnousana reel ot space separating the two ships, It waa to be hoped that the othei pilot would not notice the plant which was spying upon him. At last Emory's practiced eyea dis cerned the curious hook-nosed un- derbody of an amphibian, a type ot ship equally at home on or over land and sea. Jerry, obeying an Instinct ac quired during the war, worked the biplane Into a position between the sun and the lower amphibian, While be waa able to keep that strateglo place he would be almost Invisible to the flyers below. The strange pilot betrayed no un certainty ot purpose. Straight aa a bullet he flew toward the little row boat anchored within the tar-flung circle of waiting vessels. The am phibian suddenly nosed and began a steep dive toward the surface. Jerry closed his throttle and put the biplane In a thin glide. ' "They're aftor the money!" he roared above the popping of the motor and the whistle ot the wind through wires and struts. Emory noddod briefly, his blue eyes glittering with excitement. Ha tocutsod his glassoa again upon the amphibian, which waa now levelling out for a landing not thirty feet from the tossing boat. Small aa was the toy-like plana beneath them, Emory could eee a tiny black figure standing upon Its lowor wing aa Its pilot steered tor the rowboat The man leaped Into the boat, remained there a moment, then, as the amphibian turned slow ly Into the wind, he returned to the. wing. Presently be was seated again in the rear cockpit. The amphibian began to move through the water, leaving behind a spear-shaped wake which con trasted whltely against the blue background ot the tea. The wakt ceased abruptly. The swltt-movlng plane, now In Itt natural element, banked In a wide, swinging aro to ward the southwest and pursued a ruler-straight course In the direc tion whence it had appeared. Jerry whirled his plane' around and headed after the amphibian, still keeping within the blinding rays ot the sun.
