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

poture.

'Gosh. Mac, what bit you? Want

"Either that or some adhesive

'Get In, boss, get In. I know a

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

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

any other American river and
