THE RETURN
FRANK ilanced about him. The
driver the man be had struck
with hl gun was gone. The other
two men were not In view. The non
descript car looked oddly desolate
with Its gaping doors.
He frowned, considering. His lm-
pulse waa to follow one of the men.
He realized that the capture of one
or all of them would effectively stop
the peculiar and mysterious perse
cution of Janice Kent That they
were aerlous about their business he
did not doubt.
Ruefully he put bis hand to bis
side where bis assailant a bullet bad
gouged the cloth. But Wlnslow's arm
needed attention. And certainly
Janice must be on the verge of hys
terla from the ordeal which she had
undergone.
"I'll roll the stones back off the
road," he said. "Spin, you climb In
the back with Janice." He turned to
the glrL "We bad an accident. His
arm's bad. You'll have to make It as
. easy tor blm as you can during the
trip back to Callente. The road looks
pretty bad If this Is a sample, ex
planations later."
He rolled the rocks from the road,
and got In behind the wheel. He suc
ceeded In turning the car on the nar
row road, and beaded back up the
coast. He drove an hour In silence.
busied with his thoughts. During
tbat time they passed ona lone car
going In the opposite direction.
As the headlights flashed upon
them, Frank looked back. One of tbe
girl's arma waa around the flyer's
shoulder; the other was braced
against the Inevitable lurching of
the automobile. Her glance met hla
briefly; ber lips parted In a warm
mile.
Frank turned back to the business
of driving. A fine girl; one In a mil
lion. She1 was reacting magnificent
ly to the situation. A quick throb of
exultation surged In his breast aa
be thought of how she bad clung
tbat Instant to him when be had
taken ber from the car.
He felt his face flush with a sensa
tion of delight strange to him when
he remembered that she had pressed
ber cheek against his coat Tbere
waa no doubt that she had done so:
to Frank there waa no question as
to why sbe had done so. Allowing
for a natural Impulse of gratitude
and of nervous reaction, ellll she
could have thanked him otherwise.
Tbat sbe had not thanked him but
bad made that small gesture, led
blm to one conclusion; tbe gesture
bad been one of affection. He loved
Janice Kent of that he waa sure:
that aha returned bis regard seaAied
Incredible, but be waa aura thwshe
did. . '
As a swain Frank realized that ha
bad much to learn. Lurking In tbe
background of hla mind was a small
goblin of thought that tbere might
be something elementally wrong
with his reasoning If tbe emotions
be felt could be called reason since
subconsciously be appreciated tbat
all lovera believe that because of
the very intensity of their emotion
It must be returned In kind.
The wish la father to the thought
But Janice had pressed her cheek
gainst his coat
He swung tbe nose of the car Into
the paved highway and headed for
tbe atone columna that flanked the
grounds of Agua Callente. The tlrea
crackled over the graveled patio. He
drew up before the hotel entrance.
"I'll arrange .for a cottage for
Janice," he ssld, "and get a saw
bonea tor you, Spin. I'll phone My
berg Inside."
To an attendant he gave quick In
structions, and passed Into the hotel.
THE house doctor had come and
gone. Spin was resting easily.
There waa a reek of ether In the air.
Tbe doctor had diagnosed a dislo
cated ahoulder, inatructlng Frank to
hold his friend so. while be pressed
In the Joint
Janice Insisted that sbe stay tn
the room and help. Tbe doctor had
demurred, Frank eipostulated. and
Spin himself had told ber In that

faintly bitter way of bis that ac

the hell out of there.
Janice bad given blm a verbal wal
lop In return. Sbe'd said with a
placid detachment, "I'll bold the
mask. Doctor, while you pour the
chloroform. The man's Just afraid

Vaguely Frank remembered that
Janice had been splendid while they
had worked over the unconscious
Spin. Deft, capable, yet unobtrusive,
she bad been Invaluable. The meta
morphosis from akllled actress to
the subordinate but efficient part of
doctor's assistant waa amazing be
cause It was absolute.
Frank and Janice walked from the
hotel room where lay Spin, to the
detached cottage that waa to be the
girl's for the night
Light from the Casino slashed Into
the mild sky. Musle from the bidden
patio followed them aa they walked;
bursts of distant laughter and of
muffled conversation were synco
pated by tbe sound of Ivory balls
rattling about the spinning wheels
In the gaming rooms. The moon was
a newly minted silver coin flung
hlgb above them.
The world, to Frank, was a very
good placeto be air e In. Janice was
sate It waa enough; explanations
could come another time. He was In
love with her, be realized with sud
den conviction Spin Wlnslow's cyni
cisms about Janice Kent's ambi
tions, tbe vague memory of tbe non
marriage clause ot ber contract
with Consolidated, her wealth, her
beauty, ber aura of nnattalnablllty
had shrunk this night but she re
mained, walking by hla aide, clinging
a bit ttredly to hla arm, the weary,
sweet girl with whom be waa In love.
AT tbe doorway of ber cottage,
she turned her face, a bit white
In the moonlight to Frank. Her vole
held the busklness of fatigue when
she said:
"Good night, Frank. You've been
auch a dear Oh, I don't mean that
How absurdly trivial words arel I
mean "
Frank caught her In bis arms. She
did not resist but lay there an In
stant, looking at him. Her eyes were
wide the deep blue of them bad
darkened to black. They hinted,
meltlngly, of surrender,
Frank kissed her. Her lips against
his were cool and detached a curi
ous aloofness that caused Frank, In
a brief flash, to think of tbe figurines
of the Virgin he'd eeen In remote
niches of lost churches found in for
gotten Jungles.
Did he imagine UT or did for a
fleeting instant ber lips tremble
against bis? Abruptly she was out
ot hla arma and her hand on the
door-knob. Frank halt raised his
arma.
"Please . . " she said. "I'm very
tired." Waa It fright he saw In her
eyes? no but tt was an odd timid
ity. "I'm sorry." She seemed to say
that to herself. "Frank, forget that,
will you, please." Her breast rose
and fell with quick, short breaths,
but the alarm had gone from her
eyes. f
"I love you, Janice," said Frank.
The words were husky In hla throat
Janice put up her arm In a gesture
ot halt protest Suddenly she
laughed, a little trill that ran
through half an octave. The aound
of It seemed to throw a cloak of re
straint between them. Frank's arma
dropped to bis side. The girl's slen
der figure took on a new poise. She
said hurriedly:
"We mustn't be silly. You must
go now. ioa Oh, how mournful
you look I" Her little laugh broke on
a half note.
Swiftly she drifted against Frank.
She ehook bla arma In a small ges
ture of good-humored protest She
stood on tip-toe. Lightly her lips
brushed bis a fleeting feather ot
fragrance, then ahe waa gone.
But ah waa not gone from
Frank's mind. He stood, staring at
the door and rapidly running back
through the strange trail ot events
that had brought them to this spot
There were so many chances that
they might never have met Suppose,
for one, tbat he had not madly de
cided to follow ber car that day In
Hollywood. Or suppose that ha had
not telephoned her house this very
evening
He halt raised his hand to touch
his Hps, then turned and walked
back to tbe hotel. He was tn a glow
of anticipation, bemused and yet
clear upon one point His regard tor
Janice.
