Chapter II SURPRISE qpERRT turned sldewaye Just In time. LaMarr retreated a few steps and picked up a table lamp. Be Hunt; It at Terry'a face. Again Terry wai Just a apllt sec ond ahead of blu. And always he came on steadily, relentlessly, halt blinded by the blood from the faah In bli forehead, but alwaya coming on. A table vent over, a chair waa broken. They mlied It In the middle of the floor, LaMarr trying to Jab a thumb In Wlllett'a eye, gouging, lighting with Data, nails, teeth, and knees. But all those tricks had been tried on the tall auburn-haired American at one time or another; some of them had worked once, but never twice. Be weathered the savage, desper ate onslaughts with the sheer fury of his iron flits and the spirit that had been born from many fights in many places with all kinds of op ponents. Terry beat LaMarr to his knees. LaMarr'a left eyebrow was hanging loose and a cheekbone waa shattered. Wlllett grabbed him by the shoul ders and hauled him to his feet. LaMarr sagged helpless In his grip, his knees buckling, his breath and heart and strength gone. Wlllett saw that b was through. Be released him and LaMarr aank down and tell over backwards, something crawly and shapeless and half blind. "That's that," said Wlllett. Be wasn't In such good shape him self. His head reeled dizzily, one eye was Winded, and bis ribs on one side chad from a bruising kick, but LaMarr had learned not to deal with a roughneck. AilOUQHNECK! Ves, It was In her eyes, the eyos of a white faced girl staring at, the scene In that shambled room In horror. Good God! Bad his brain been Jarred loose from Its moorings? Why, sht waa standing there on the threshold Allaire Westl Be must be crazy. But he wasn't crazy. "Allaire!" Foi and Rayburne West nearly shouted the name. The girl looked at the battered thing on the floor and then at tho tall man standing nearby with blood streaming over one eye, his face still set In fighting mask. Disgust and shock and horror. There went the works. Her father jwas trying to get her attention. "Where have you been T" Her mouth curved briefly, j "If I told you, yon wouldn't be llleve It I can hardly belle' It my self." Torry Wlllett looked at her, tilting his head back to clear his vision. "So you disappeared. Just like that. Just went off without a word, and now you come back and can hardly believe It yourself. Where did yon ever get the crazy Idea you could do things like that? Or don't you care about the worry and trouble you cause, detectives run ning sround all over the place and people tying themsolves In knots trying to find your But you prob ably will never see that You're too used to doing what you want and to hell with everybody else. And now good night, all." "Walt a minute, Terry!" It was Fox's voice. "You can't go out like that. Your head!" Attaboy, George, the lamp of rea son. "More scratch," said Wlllett briefly. He strods out of the room and out of the bouse. Outside, be drew a long breath of cool night air. He needed IL Well, that was that, all right Boy, he'd certainly shot the works. But what difference did It make? Fox was there and Fox wasn't a killer or a roughneck he waa a gentleman and a rising young For eign Omcer. He was of her world, born to the purple, and when be saw a snake he stopped over It and not on It. Good old Fox. "Look out Terry, he's armed!" Foi would die In his bed surrounded b great-grandchildren. The lamp ot reason. Terry was bareheaded and he knew he probably looked as though he'd Just returned from the wars, but he hailed s tail and bore tha drlv r's astonished (tare with com poture. S SACRIFICE 10 I IS TOLD Bursklhi st the church of the Naxarr-ne Sunday morning, Pred M Wcathrrford, pastor evangallat. used aa hla topic "A Sacrifice to Christ." having for hla tet Mat. it. the 7th end 6th veraes. "Here la the presentation of two picture,, one on either side of the entrance door to the upper room," the pa tor aald. "One of the pictures we behold he fore entering the upper room la that of s woman. She la gentle, meek, re fined and a rifmontratlon of the NTVII mm IM (AST NIVU MJNO IM UOV NIVU MHO n uov 'Gosh. Mac, what bit you? Want doc?" "Either that or some adhesive tape." 'Get In, boss, get In. I know a good doc." Terry got In. He leaned back agalust toe cushions and propped his feet up on one of the little side seats. "How are the Giants doing?" he murmured. BRIGHT sun was flooding the room wben ui awoke the next day. Hla bead felt as though It hsd been hit with a collection ot assorted sand bags. Had be been drunk last nlgbtt He pondered. No, he'd been slugged with something, that was right A merry lite, yea, truly: never a dull moment He looked St hla wrist watch. Al most noon. Something waa due to happen today. Oh, yea ha bad to take a plane at Newark Airport for Miami and the Pan-American Air ways, He got up and went over to the mirror where he regarded himself critically. He wasn't exactly a pic ture ot beauty, with a discoloration around one eye and his forehead bandaged with several atrlpa of sur gical tape, and when he took a deep breath the ribs on one side ached. Well, don't take any deep breaths. He showered and dressed quickly. Terry Wlllett dressed well In an easy natural way. He presented a smart, clean-cut appearance In dark double-breasted, blue shirt, wine colored cravat and his thick auburn hair crisply parted. Then with his bags packed and hla topcoat under arm, be paueed by the table and picked up Puff Harring ton's note. She'd evidently left it there right after he and Fox had gone out of the room last evening. There were two worda hurriedly scrawled, "Thanks, Torry." Slo tran sit Puff. You're welcome, babe. It didn't cost you anything but a clgaret case. Some detective's wife has that "evi dence" now probably. He smiled slightly and tore the note Into blu, letting the pieces filter through bis Angers, As be closed the door behind him and turned the key In the lock, he beard hla phone ring. He hesitated a moment; who'd be calling him? Puff, maybe? Well, whoever It was he didn't think It worth the effort to unlock the door and go back. What was the use? He let tbe phone ring. Terry Wlllett wanted to get away from here. He had a short breakfast and then went to the dosk to pay bis bill. The phone girl said there'd been a call for him; no message. Tbe party bad been very eager to locate him and tbe phone girl had said Mr, Wlllett was leaving for Newark Airport shortly, "Hope you have a nice trip, Mr. Wlllett," she smiled. She was very pretty and lots of men stopped by to talk about the telephone situation. It waa Just her luck that when one came along with whom she'd ha liked to discuss the telephone sltua tlon, he wasn't Interested In the tele phone situation. Black eye and bandaged brow, bul that warlike-looking young man wai a real gent thought the telephoni girl. i Wlllett arrived at the airport and the big trl-motorod ship was already waiting, the sun shining on Its sli ver body with a flood ot gleaming reflections. The Miami planel Com ing, Corrigan. With his toot on the stop, he heard his name called. "Torry!" He turned to see Allaire coming toward him swiftly She seemed breathless and there was a touch ol high color in her face. She reached hla side end put a hand on his arm. "You're not going. Terry? Not back to South America?" He looked at her currously. "Why. of course." "You might hare come around It say good-bye." Ho laughed shortly. "1 said good bye Inst night wordi and music." "Let's get out of here," said Al laire, as a portly passenger waited Impatiently to get aboard. "Five minutes, sir," said the plans stewsrd to Wlllett 'More than enough." ssld Wlllett, and walked to one side. Allaire seemed to hsve something to say, i out couldn t quite say It. "It It's about last night," said Wll lett "forgot It." 'Ob, Terry, you can't go Ilka this after all you've done. 1 wanted to talk to you last night, but yon didn't give me a chance. It was grand of you to taka my part to sock that beastly swine." tCovvriaht. ;JI oy David Omrth) Allaire breaks Into the news, to morrow. la engaged In an act of reverential devotion, having broken an alabaater boi of sweet and precious Intment. and poured It on her Saviour s head Judaaatrenttoutly proteated ogalnet what he railed 'this waate.' rr this protrat Chrlat rehiikeo the dlsclnlea Anything we do for Clirlat can never I be considered a waao ot material or I energy.
