Chapter 11
GIRL WITH GUN
MAHONT turned on him like a ti
ger, grabbed him by the collar,
Jerked him nearer, and raited his
plitoL
"Where's Miss Fraser? Answer
Quickly or I'll knock your brains
out," he ordered harshly.
"Eh I MIi Fraser. She's locked In
room upstairs," answered the man.
He had a bleary, bloated look, It
he had been sleeping In in arm
chair and wai not yet properly
awake.
' "Thanks," laid Mahony.
: Hli pistol-butt eime down with a
harp rap. The ileepy-looklng man
Joined the fat man on the floor.
Mahony sprang for the italn and
ran up them two at a time. At the top
was a corridor with doors on either
aide of It. Half-way along the corri
dor a man was sitting as It keeping
watch, a pistol In his hand.
As Mahony gained the top of the
stairs, he rose from his seat quickly.
Again there cam the sharp ear
splitting crack of a shot, and some
thing twitched Mahony's sleeve, in
stantly Mahony Orel back; the re
ports of the two shots followed one
another with hardly an Interval.
The man clntched it hit shoulder,
pun round on his feet, and sprawled
on his back on the floor; his pistol
slid from his hand across the carpet.
Thin wisps of acrid smoke formed
slight base In the corridor.
' After the report of those two shots
the silence, for a moment, seemed al
most nnnaturat. Than Mahony shout
ed: "Miss Fraterl Miss Fraserl"
From behind a closed door came
clear, defiant voice-a girl's voice.
"What do you want!"
"Are you locked lot" shouteu Ma
bony. "I'll hare you out of that In a
jmlnute."
. He ran for the door and put his
hpulder to It In a football charge.
The timber cracked. He was about
to have another go at It when the
girl's voice came again, warnlugly.
"I shouldn't try that If I were yon.
rve still got four shots left."
Mahony didn't know what she was
talking about. Anyway, she spoke
too late. He had already started on
another charge. Again his shoulder
struck the door with all hit weight
behind It. There was a rending
crash, and one of the timbers caved
In slightly. From behind the door
came the crash of a shot, and a
splinter of woodwork Jumped from
the door and grated Mahony's face.
He was amatcd. The girl was
ahoottng at him from behind the
door. It occurred to blm that It was
probably she who had shot at blm
from the window.
j "It's all right," he shouted. "Don't
boot. I've come to rescue you."
i "Go and tell that to the Marines,"
'came the girl's voice from behind
(the door. "Ton won't catch me like
khaU"
"Hell and damnation!" sstd Ma
hony In a tone of Inteuse annoyance.
' A S yet he hardly understood what
was happening, but the fact that
the girl whom he had come to res
cue was trying to shoot him arouied
In him an acute exasperation. The
Ash-faced little hntf-wtt, he thought;
that waa the kind of thing an In
trepid young airwoman would do.
He did not try to argue with her or
persuade her; be a.'ted.
He drew back slightly, and then
longed forward with hit right foot,
with all his strength behind the
lunge. The sole of his shoe struck
the timber In Its weakest part,
where It had already begun to give.
With a splintering crash a panel
spilt all the way down and the door
flew open. At It opened, Mahony
dropped to one knee, ducking at low
as possible.
"Crarkl" went the alrl's pistol
viciously, hut the bullet pasted
harmlessly over Mahony'a head. Be
fore the could Are agmi ha flung
himself forward, thrust out a long
arm. grabbed at her anklo and gave
a vtgoroua pull. She uttered a yell
and tat down suddenly. The pistol
went oft again, but this time the
bullet went Into the colling. Iletore
he could (ire again Mnhony grab
bed the barrel and wrenched It
from her hand.

)
you're doing?" he asked. "You
might hare ahot me."
"That's what I meant to do," she
said.
Sitting on the floor, they examined
one another bad-tern peredly. Ruth
Fraeer wai a slim girl wl h a boylah
figure, candid, slightly freckled fea
tures, a small determined chin, and
very clear dark eyes. She looked at
Majeny with great acorn and dis
like; It was evident that she dis
approved of him strongly.
Mahouy sighed.
"Didn't yon hear me aay I'd come
to rescue you?" be asked In a brave,
patient voice. His tone seemed to
Indicate that the probably did not
understand tbe meaning of a long
word like "rescue."
"Of course I did," the answered.
"But t didn't believe you. Why
should I? I thought you were one
of them. They've been promising
me all sorts of things It I'd come
out."
' I see," said Mahony.
His annoyance vanished; he
laughed.
Do you believe now that rve
come to rescue yon?" he asked.
"Yes," she said.
He rose quickly to his feet, and
held out his hand to '.elp her to rise.
She grasped It, and he pulled her
upright.-
"Come ou, then; we'd better get
out of here," he said.
"That will suit me," she an
swered.
SHE) swayed slightly; of a sudden
she looked verv weak and tired.
i
Mahony took her arm aud helped
her along the passage and down
stairs to tbo hall. No one tried to
stop them. In the front doorwa' the
fat man was sitting up, leaning
back against the wall and groaning
loudly. He looked rather like a fat
expiring flab. He watched them,
glassy-eyed, while they got Into tbe
car, Mabony started the engine, and
with a loud roar thay were away.
It was not till they were well clear
of the honse that either of them
spoke. The girl broke the silence
between them.
So you came Into that house
after me alone," she observed.
"Yes," said Mahony.
She appeared to consider tor i
moment. Then she went on:
I'm torry 1 was such a nuisance.
I mean, trying to shoot you, and all
tha, sort of thing."
"Thit'a ill right," said Mabony.
"How are you feeling?"
"Tired," she answered, "and hun
gry I suppose you naven't by any
chance got a bam sandwich or a
piece of chocolate about youT I
haven't had anything to eat since
the day before yesterday. There was
some water In my room, but that's
not frightfully sustaining"
There was no trace of hystorla or
terror about her; she spoke quite
simply and seriously. Mahony liked
her. A nice kid, he reflected.
"I'm sorry, 1 haven't" he said.
"But I'll soon have you back at your
own home, and you'll be able to get
all you want there."
"I didn't really think you had,"
she said. "But I thought you might
have, If you know what I meal ."
She looked at him with frank cu
riosity. "By the way, who are you?" ahe
asked. "And how did yon happen to
butt In this evening?" '
Mahony bad no Intention of dis
closing his Identity to her. He did:
no! want to have to explain to her;
relatives, or the police, how he had
'oitnC out that she was in that house.
"Don't bother about who I am,"
he answered. "I'm not going lo an
swer any questions. Hut I'd like you
t tell me about yourself how you
i.ere kidnapped, and what was going
on Inside that house when I turned
up." .
"I waa kidnapped about three
daya ago. when I was with a friend
of mine named Billy Ross," she an
swered. "He met .ne as I wss com
Ir out of my guardian's house, and
asked me It I'd like to go with him
to see a marvellous fortune-teller
named Rachel.
"I went with him, and while I was
looking into a crystal somebody
came up behind me and pressed
something ever my mouth. I think
It was chloroform; It smolt like It.
Of course I kicked and struggled
like anything, but It was no good,
'-"hat's all I remembei till I woke
up In that house. There were three
men there, and they kept me locked
In a room. They didn't Ill-treat me,
except for not letting me go, but I
believe they put something In my
food."
"Some drug, you mean?" asked
Mahony.

From Statue (o Bullets
Shortly after the announcement of
the Declaration of Independence In
New York, a Jubilant crowd of pa
triots marched on Bowling Oreen.
There they demonstrated their sup
port of tho cause by pulling down
an equestrian statuo of King George
lit of England.
Upon hearing of the Incident,
Oeorgo Washington voiced his disap
proval of tho action as being "a re
version to mob rule." Load con
tained in the statuo was later melted
down and coat Into 46,000 bullets as
ammunition for ttif American forces
against the British.
