JANUARY 14. 1935 PAGE SIX . .Vyi'Sa: Jerry ifordauiil hat ,ie to eee what information he jtt get from the Gowllande, with uhom John Oeborne boarded while lit uai working at Hambridfie. It u-at Otborne who etole a valuable formula from Molly O'Brien, and then una murdered. The formula hae disappeared, and Jerry it help Ina Molly and Sick Trench tearch for it. Molly and Sick are eianitM ing Otborne't workroom irhcn the door it locked behind him, and Peter Orloff. Bolehtvlet epv, telle them then ehortly will' be dead. Jimmy For, fourth member of Molly' "eyndlcate," hat been left aboard their yacht, the "Seagull." Chapter 40 JIMMY FOX AGAIN IN other worda," said Molly sharp y, "you're a Bolshevist spy, and you're frightened that we shall give you away." "That is precisely the situation. You hare more Intelligence than your companions, Mlsa O'Brien. It's regrettable that you will hare to share their fate." By a tremendous effort 1 managed to keep my head. The odds against any help reaching us from outside seemed to be a million to one, but with Jerry at liberty, every addi tional moment that we could gain added to that slender chance. "You're a trifle too late," I said deliberately. "All the Information we have about you Is already In the riands of the police. If you kill us you will be hanging yourself quite unriocessarlly." Once more Orloff laughed softly. "I think not. I am under the Impres sion that you have been foolish enough to rely upon your own In telligence. I should scarcely have taken the trouble to follow you down here and arrange for your re moval unless I were convinced that the results would be satisfactory." "And what are your arrange . ments?" I demanded. "If we've got to die, you might at least tell us that." "They are simple enough," came back the suave answer. "You will be the vlctlma of an unfortunate ac cident, due, I am afraid, partly to your own carelessness, and partly to the almost criminal negligence of your friend, Sir William Avon. "In the cellars under our feet there are still several cases of high explosive enough, I should say, to reduce this building to a heap of bricks and mortar. That Is the eiact use to which I propose to put It." I felt Molly's fingers tighten on mine, but otherwise she remained perfectly still. '"pilK fuse, which I am now about to light," continued Orloff, "will reach the powder ten minutes after I have left you. That will bave a double advantage. It will give you time to prepare for the next world, and It will enable me to retire from the scene of the tragedy. "I had hoped to Include the rest of your party, but since that con venient solution appears to have miscarried, we ahall bave to find a different method of dealing with the others. You can be quite aura that it will be equally effective." His voice ceased, and for several seconds, amidst a deathly silence, Molly and I stood there hand In hand. Then, from somewhere down the passage came a faint sound like the closing of a door. With a bitter oath, I stepped back. "I've let you In for this." I mut tered brokenly. "It was my utter stupidity ..." "No, no; you're not to blame." In a half dazed fashion Molly drew the back of her hand across her eyes. "I wanted to come. I made you bring me." "There must be some way out." I glanced desperately round the room. "Another door or something those curtains ..." I strode across the farther corner and, clutching the two strips of green linen which bung from a brass rod, wrenched them savagely apart. All I disclosed was a stretch of bare shelves. "These cursed walls are as smooth as glass," 1 exclaimed despairingly. "It there was only something I could climb up by ... " "It's no use, Nick." Molly stretched out her bands. "Come back to me; come back to me and hold me In your arms." I stumbled blindly towards her. "My darling my dearest." I caught her to me and crushed her agninst my heart. "I love you so," I whispered. "I'd go through torture to savo you the least hnrm, and yet oh. my liod, Molly! I've brought you to your death." "Don't, don't Nick. You mustn't talke like that. What does It matter If we are going lo die? It's God's will or It wouldn't have happened." "OUT I love you," I repeated wild D ly. "I didn't know, I didn't real ize .. . " "I love )u, too. Nick. I think I've loved you from the first moment I SKIMPY PATRONAGE WORRIES DEMOCRATS WASHINGTON. Jan 14.

Her arms tightened round my neck, and her soft lips met mine. "Oh, my dear," she whis pered, "my dear." "To let you die now," I groaned. "It's too hideous; It's too utterly hideous." "I'm not afraid not If I can die like this. I know there's another life and we shall always be together there. Kiss me again, Nick. Keep on kissing me until until ..." I strained her still closer; so close that I could feel her heart throb bing against mine. It seemed as though something of her own faith and courage had suddenly passed Into my soul, and all I was conscious of dow was a strnnRe and exalted happiness. If death were oiy . . . God In heaven what was that? My whole body wont tense and rigid, and with a low cry Molly freed herself from my arms. 'You hoard It, Nick you heard It?" 1 nodded. "Listen,' I said hoarsely. "Mister Trench whero are you? It's me Jimmy." The voice was Incredibly faint and remote fainter even than the little tinkling crash that had preceded It. Clenching my hands, I sprang to wards the door. "Wo'ro here," I shouted. "Straight ahead of you tho flrst opening on the right. We're in the room at the ond. Hurry, Jimmy, or you'll be too late." Molly was beside me again, and staring np at the ventilator, we lis tened breathlessly. One two per haps three seconds, and then from the pasnge outside came tho pat ter of bare feet. "It s all right, sir. The key's In the lock. I'll hnvo you out In 'alf a Jiffy." Thero was a sharp click, and Jerk ng around the hundlo, I pushed des peratoly at the ntassivo steel slab. It swung bark as swiftly and silent ly as It had closed, and a small, drip ping, half naked figure stumbled forward over the threshold. "You nin't 'uvt, sir you ..." "Hun, Jimmy," I gasped. "Open the f.ont doer. This plr.ro is jroing up in two seconds." (Ctwift.t, I.UJ.
