Another time she aald "Damn!
In accenta loud and clear, and
trowned mightily. All of wblcb might
have pointed to an lntenaa mental
struggle.
But when she rolled Into Wash
Ington In the early evening aha knew
perfectly well tbat aha waa going to
aee Terry wlllett again.
Chasing after a man! Sha banged
the born button again and turned In
at tha entrance drive of ber mother's
home.
Aa aba walked past tha drawing
room aha heard a sudden Incredulous
exclamation and two strange men
pounded (.at Into tbe ball and looked
at her as though sha were a walking
grenade. One of them aald, "My
Ood!"
"Miss West!" croaked tbe other.
Why, yes." said Allaire, "what's
the matter?"
"Matter? Your father haa bad us
looking high and low for you tha last
two days and here you come walk
log In-"
Her mother waa right behind
them. She pushed them aside and
looked at her daughter with an ex
pression of relief mlied with amass
ment. "Where on earth have you been?"
sha aald weakly. "Hell has been pop
ping In New York"
"T AMARR."
a Tbat'a all that" Raybi-rne
West had said. He looked strained,
Courtney Rayburne Wost of Mead
,owbrook, Cannes, Del Monte, and
Westlands.
So did Qeorge Fox ot Harvard and
the United States Foreign Service.
Terry Wlllett threw his clgaret in
tha fireplace and stood by tha man
tel, his hands locked behind bis
back.
LaMarr, He was ushered In and
stood near the door, his eyes glanc
ing swiftly from one to the other
Ha was groomed as It he'd Just come
from a Fifth Avenue tea and musi
cals. Tall, dark-eyed powerfully
built and Impeccably dressed no
wonder Nell West bad been sur
prised at ber Ramon.
"Why do we meet here?" ha asked
Ray suspiciously.
'Does that make any difference?"
"It doos, Mr. West Ah, yea 1 do
ot go to strange houses that seem
remarkably quiet and And mysslf
with three men. Your plans, Mr.
West?" There was a sudden per
emptory ring of steel .In his soft
spoken voice.
"Mr. Fox you know," said Ray
ateadlly. "And Mr. Wlllett la also
acquainted with tha circumstances.
Don't be afraid."
La Ma it's eyea flickered.
"Afraid? "he ropeated, amused. "I
am not afraid for myself. During
negotiations of this sort 1 find It wise
to carry protection. Just let me
advise then, Mr. West, discretion
above all else."
His hand came part way out of the
Inside ot his coat and thoy saw the
blue steel butt of a revolver. "A mere
matter of detail," ha aald politely,
and slid the weapon back.
Ha sal down comfortably, nodding
to George Fox.
Wlllett had boen Inspecting him
keenly, lie atlrred In bis position at
the ((replace and LaMarr'a quick
glance was on Dim In an instant
"This gentleman la acquainted
with the circumstances, you say?"
"Yes," said Terry. "I'm plenty ac
quainted." He seated himself on the
edge ot the desk and folded his arms.
Ilia face as he regarded tha urbane
LaMarr was not too pleasant
"Do you enjoy this matter of try
ing to burt a woman?" he asked
curiously.
"1 do not bollove I have had the
honor"
"My name's Wlllett I happen to be
Interested in what you're trying to
lam through here. You know,
Marr. there are three waya ot deal
ing with blackmailers. One Is to call
the police." He paused. "Uut Mr
West doesn't want that."
"No," smiled LaMarr. "Mr. West
wise."
"And a Seconal la to pay up am
like It" .
"Ah. then. Mr. West would b
wise."
"And tha third," aald Wlllett un
emotionally, "Is to beat hell out o
the blackmailer every time you se
ll Is face."
LaMarr'a black eyea awept hln
swiftly.
"That," be murmured, "I think
have ahown you would not ba at
wise."
Fox felt that absurd little thrill hi
bad felt aeveral tlmea before wbei
Terry Wlllett prepared to act He'd
swung tha lamp of reason before;
ha tried It again.
"Get to tbe point, Terry," he
urged. "Tell him what you know."
"Sure." said Wlllett "LaMarr,
right now, the Brat way la out No
police. And ao Is the second, because
you haven't any story tbat would
hurt anybody. Allaire went to those
docks berause 1 took ber there. She
shot a man In self-defense to protect
me. But that man didn't die. He lived.
So there's your mysterious murder
gone up In smoke. You haven't any
facts, LaMarr, and your bluff Is be
ing called.
"So," he said thoughtfully, "there
goes the second way of dealing with
a blackmailer, a sneaky breed like a
kidnaper."
I A MARR'S face was Inscrutable.
' There was a tightening of bis
mouth, but that waa all.
"If Mr. West chooses to bellove
you, that Is his affair," he said
smoothly. "1 know 1 don't"
"You don't have to believe me.
You knew Hlldoi wasn't killed, but
you took a chance on nobody else
knowing It. and nobody la going to
pay you a nickel for that take yarn
ot yours.
"Now get out of here, LaMarr
while your skin la still safe. And II
there's any further trouble from you
II beat you Into something crawly
and shapeless and halt blind. Maybi
I'll do It now. 1 don't Ilka you,
LaMarr."
'A atrong arm man, perhaps r
La-Marr said lazily, but bis eyes on
Wlllett were deadly and alert
"No," said Terry, "Just somebod)
who alwaya trlea to tlnlsb what hi
starts. 1 started the Job of coverlni
tbat girl and I'm going to Inlsb it
You're not dealing with these twe
gentlemen bore. You're dealing wttr.
me and I've been called a rough
neck. Well, all right, that's what I
am. A roughneck."
'LaMarr then pulled hla mastel
stroke. Ha turned coolly to Ra)
West
"You are liberty to bollove thli
man, of course," be said. "But 1 dc
not regard his word aa any proof,
mentioned thirty thousand dollar)
before, I believe. Mr. Wost the sun)
Is now forty thousand, or the story
Is released. You may take your own
chance."
Ray West was helploss In eltua
tlona ot this kind. He looked at Fox
Tha attache was Indecisive also
That Torry knew what had happened
on the docks he was sure, but bow
could be know anything of H tides'
tlnal fate?
That death angle gave the story
spice, and Ray West seemed to be
uncertain also as to how far to atrlng
along with Terry Wlllett He might
be bluffing, hlmsolt. LaMarr pressod
his advantage.
In Ore minutes," he said calmly,
"I will take my leave with your an
awer. Consider quickly then."
Ills effrontery touched oft Wlllett
"Oh. hell," he ssld suddenly, "why
argue with tha snake?"
Ha waa around tha corner ot the
desk, moving fast, coming (or La

armed."
LaMarr leaped to bis feet Ilka a

clubbing Wlllett across tha forehead
and ripping a wide gash.

As Bousa himself related the Inci

suddenly he became conscious of a
martial tune running through his
mind. All through the trip his "brain
band" kept playing the same march
ing song over and over, but Sousa
never made an attempt to set the
music down on paper.
After he landed In New York he
wrote It note for note as it ran
through his mind, and called It "The
Stars and Stripes Forever." Not a
single note was ever changed After
It was first set down.
