CLapter SI SHOOT AT HER PROPELLER" THE other three separated, two of them dodging behind one tree after another until they had worked their way as close to the bouse as they dared. The fifth, pulled a handkerchief out of bis pocket and advanced boldly, war ing the white bit of clotb. "Far enough, Mueller," called Athwood as the gangster reached easy hailing distance. "Come out on the porch, Mmpy," yelled the lone man. "I want to talk to yon." "You hardly Inspire me with confidence," retorted the other, "while you have a white flag In one band and a gun In the other." Mueller placed his automatic upon the ground at bli feet. Ash wood limped out on the porch. Un der bis straightforward gaze, the man "with the flag ot truce shifted about uneasily, "LImpy," he said at last, "we "We'll diva straight aorosa her top wing," shouted Jerry. "Shoot at hsr propeller." . , don't want to bump you off, but wa want two-thirds ot all Uie jack you got In the - house. We'll take your word (or how much you got," "Aren't you flattering!" mocked ' the slender, white-haired man from his exposed position on the porch. "Mueller, aren't you the man who persuaded the others to Join liuccl's mob?" "What if I am?" "Nothing ot Importance," replied Ashwood evenly, 'except that I'm going to write your name on a bullet" "What about the Jack? Are you going to kick In? It you don't, we'll charge the house and take It II." "Charge It you like," retorted the cripple Indifferently. "I'd ad vise you, Mueller, to remain be hind a tree." A sudden flush suffused the gang ster's face. So quickly that the ye could scarcel) follow his move ments, he dropped , the flag and scooped up the automatic Emory, crouched behind his table, felt his own gun kick back in his hand. He saw Mueller stand upright, rigid, a look ot astonish ment replacing the rage on his fea tures. Standing ajill as a statue, the man dropped the gun, coughed and suddenly pitched forward, lull length upon the eawgrasa. A gust ot machine-gun bullets rattled against the side ot the house and knocked long splinters from the porch rail. Ashwood turned, calm and unhurried, and strolled back Into the living room, where he took his place beside Emory. "Much obliged, old thing," he said quietly. Then, turning toward the others, "They'll be coming, now. Don't let one of them slip past the house. We can't have an attack from the rear." "How long now, Jerry?" asked the detective. "Tea or fifteen minutes, at least If that bird could get another fifty revolutions a mlnuro out ot his engine we'd never catch him!" "I'll be wanting to poke this gun out of the window." Jerry showed him a sliding panel , A new weekly publication entitled, "The Wlllpen Pinea Mirror." ha made it appearance In Jackaon county, and la unique In the lax-t that It la written, arranged and published en tirely by very young feminine Jour nalists. This news sheet originates at the Girl Scout camp, now In ses sion on the Applegete, and la a new. but highly entertaining feature of the camp program. Publication Is made on Saturday night and distribution to the ramp made on Sunday morning, and start ing each week with a new "staff" to guide Its destinies,' Call Lottie Howard, Rep. Investors Syndicate, 1338-u la the son-sbatterable glass wind shield and warned him against fir ing through the shimmering are ot the propeller.. Then both lapsed into silence, their eyes fixed upon the Irregular blur ot blackness which was slowly resolving Itself into the distinguishable outline ot the amphibian. All sense of forward motion was long since gone. Droning steadily through the night skies with the utter blackness of the water erer beneath them both men In the cabin felt as though they bad been Hying for hours without getting anywhere. There were no Islands directly below by which tbey might gauge speed or distance. The dark mass of the coast line rolled past their right wing like a treadmill. A sudden stream ot. spitting fire shot from the rear ot the amphib ian's fuselage. Jerry's heart thumped. Action at last! He watched the flickering spot of crim son carefully, holding steadily to his course. Time euough to dodge the machine-gun when be could see Us tracer bullets. The detective slid open the glass panel. The cabin was Instantly filled with a tornado of solse and wind. He Inserted a clip of cartridges Into the breach of bis gun. ''Going to be a mite awkward," he shouted peevishly, "to stop them without making them fall." Jerry watched a luminous streak ot ruler-etralgbt smoke draw a line from the gangster's flashing gun to a point scarcely six Inches from the monoplane's left wing tip. The gunner was getting the range. The sulphurous stream veered, disap pearing within the trailing edge ot the wing. Jerry pulled hard back on the stick. The ship zoomed ver tically for a hundred foot, leaving the smoking line of bullets far be low. He straightened out, watch ing the tracer carefully. Up, up, It came. He swung to the right then plunged downward. During the maneuver he had gained percep tibly upon the fleeing amphibian. Stevens, his gun ready, paid no attention to the other's Ore, nor to the violent motions ot the plane. He waited patiently for an oppor tunity to shoot without endanger ing the girl or causing a fatal crash, The smoking line had been com ing from a point just behind the pilot's cockpit In the bow of the other plane. Nancy was probably confined In the main cabin within the fabric-covered fuselage, to tbe rear of the cockpit Jerry could now see every detail of the ship. The tracer bullets were almost con stant He avoided them auto matically. "What ahall I aim at?" Inquired the puziled detective. "No use kill ing the girl ao's you- can rescue her." "Walt," snapped the pilot aa he polled back Into a loom. Full two hundred feet above the amphibian be levelled out and held her to her course above and slightly behind the lower Jhlp. "I'm going down," he shouted. "We'll dive straight across her top wing. Shoot at her propeller." Stevens nodded silently and pushed the muzile ot his gun through the panel. Jerry threw his weight on the stick and the plan dropped from under the two men as she hurled downward Ilka t falling projectile. (Copyright.
