Chapter II LAW80N DELIVER! fN A tmw seconds Lawson tlrrd feebly and opened nil y. For a moment be trd at Manonv stupidly, aa It he could not under tend where he waa or how he ot there. Then undemanding eame to him, and hla dark area biased at Mahony with a passion of rare and hatred. "You you 1" He apat an un mentionable word. "By God, you'll pay (or this," be said. Mahony wasted no Urn beating about the bush. "1 want to know where Rutn Fraser II." be aatd. Lawson' swollen Hps drew back from bis teeth In a horrible sneering grin ot defiance. . "1 dare say you do," he aald jeer Ingly. "But do you think I'm going to tell your "It you don't I shall kill you," replied Mahony In a mattar-oMact tone that left no donbt that he meant exactly what he said. Lon laughed. "I've no doubt that It would (It you great pleasure to do that." be aald sarcastically. "But 1 don't think you'll do It, and I'll tall you why. It you kill me tonight, you'll never see Miss Fraser again. Also, aa soon as I'm dead, certain evidence will be forthcoming which will give the whole game aay ao far as your late friend Billy Robs la concerned. And you'll bang. If I'm killed to night, I've arranged that the police will find absolutely damning evi dence that you did kill old Little." "What evldencet" demanded Ma hony. Lawson grinned. HI expression was absolutely Satanic "My evidence against Ross Is In his handwriting; It shows quit clearly that be was engaged with me In my criminal aotlvltles," be said. "My evidence against you Is In my handwriting. To be exact. It takes the form ot a diary. "Ill It I relate how Ross Intro duced you to me aa a promising re cruit to my organisation, bow we quarrelled over a question ot money. and that Instead of kidnapping Miss Little properly as w had planned, you double-crossed me by taking her back to bar own house. "Tbere her uncle recognised yon. and you bad to kill him to get away. After that the entries are all quite true; 1 almply relate your various efforts to fight me, and my effort to fight you quit a simple story ot criminal falling out among themselves. "Naturally, when the police find that diary, they'll know that I waa the power behind all the dope and blackmailing activity, but that won't worry me It I'm dead. They'll also be quite sure that you ar a crook and a murdorer. It would be amus ing, wouldn't It, If you were to kill me, and then be hanged for killing old Little?" "Terribly amusing," agreed Ma hony Impassively. "But diary or no diary. I'm going to kill you tonight unless Itutb Fraser Is restored to me sate and unhurt." Lawson shrugged his shoulders slightly. "I'm not particularly anxious to die tonight," he admitted. "In the circumstances I suggest that we should strike a bargain. You let me go and I'll have Miss Frsser brought to you here. After all, It will only be a matter of time before I have my hands on her, and you, again." M AHUNY had never underrated Lawson's courage; he had an ticipated that some such bargain would have to be struck between them. "You have Miss Fraser brought to me here, and I'll let you go," be agreed. "You can go atter she's safoly hore." "It seems that you don't trust me," remarked Lawson In a tone ol Ironlo surprise. "But you expect me to trust you. Well, I'll take your word tor It that when Mlsa Fraser Is safe here you'll let m go. I shall have to telephone." "You can telephone, but don't try any funny business," Mahony warned him. "If a car-load ot your toughs turns up here Instead ot Mlai Fraser, you'll be the first person to go west" "If a car-load ot 'la toughs come along, they're likely to get more than they bargain for," put In Baa sett. "I've got about a dosen bloke 'anglng about this garage and them a 'aan't got guns aa got blackjacks. You don't need to worry about no car-load ot toughs turnln' up. Mis ter." "That's all right, then," aald Ma hony. "Here you are." He held the telephone close to Lawson so that be could apeak. Law. aon called a number, and when he was In touch with the man he wanted, he gave a tew curt direc tions In German. Then be turned to Mahony. "What Is the address ot this place?" be asked. Whltcher'a garage. Dale Street, Canning Town," answered Mahony. Lawson repeated this, address through the telephone, anil nodded aa a sign that the conversation wa ended. She'a being brought here at once; one man la bringing her In car," be said. That will be all right," said Ma- bony. Twenty minutes passed; then there came the sound of a car draw ing up outside the garage. Mahony went to the door of hi office and looked out. From the car deacended a man and a girl. In the light that shone through the office doorway he had no difficulty In recognising Ruth. HB WENT forward quickly to meet ber. At that moment b wa only conscious of on thing feeling of tremendous relief and thankfulness that she waa saved. "Ruth!" he exclaimed. She stopped, looked at him tor moment, gave a little gasp ot aston ishment. Her face looked pal and tired, and tbere were dark lines be neath ber eyea. But at the sound of Mahony' vole her face seemed to light up; her drooping figure atralghtened. For a moment she tared at him; then, with a little ex clamation of bapplnesa h stepped forward quickly, holding out both her hands. Oh, Terence, It 1 you. Isn't it? Terence, I. knew you'd help me, I didn't see bow you could, but I knew you would somehow. Ter ence ....!" He took both ber hands in hi and pressed them hard. The eight of her pale, tired face, In contraat with the happiness shining In her eyes, the accents of complete and utter trust In him In ber voice, affected him strangely. At that moment he had no thought (or Elsa Little or any body except Ruth. Deep In his heart he knew that, though he- might search the whole world, he could never find anybody Ise who would stand by blm more loyally, trust blm more completely, be a batter friend and companion for blm than ah would. Nothing mat tared just then except that aha wa safely with blm again. A It It were tbe moat natural ac tion In the world be drew ber close, put one arm round her, and held her close to blm. She sighed, and 1st hr head rest (or a moment on his shoulder. "I'm so tired . , . and ao glad to be with you again," ah said. "I'm glad, too," aald Mahony. There were doien of things that be wanted to aay, but be could find no worda to say them. There was no need to aay them. The grip ot bis arm encircling her, the expression In his eyes aa they looked down Into here, were all she wanted at thai moment She smiled. I'm In an awful mess," she aald happily. "Most likely the police are after mo I expect you know all about that But I don't care. I don't mind what happena now." "All this Is very pretty and touch lng, but If you remember, you prom Isod to let me go when Miss Fraser wss restored to you," came Lawson's cold, sneering voice from the offlcs behind them. "At the risk of Inter rupting this charming acene, may I ask you to keep your promise." Ills words brought Mahony down to earth with a sudden Jerk, remind ing him of the position In which ht and Ruth were placed. True, they were together again, but their out look could hardly be called bright Evory policeman In London was ot the lookout tor Ruth, while he him self was by no means cleared ot bus plclnn In the murder of Mr. Little. For the moment he Ignored Law son's Interruption and spoke ti Ruth: he spoke with a deliberate purpose, meaning Lawson to hear.

W "well-beloved John Cabot, citizen of Venico , . . full and free authority, leave and power to seek out, discover and find whatsoever isles, countries, regions or provinces of the heathen and Infidels, which before this time have been unknown to all Christ ians." Setting aail. May 3. 1407, from Bristol, Cabot embarked on a Journey that la credited with having discov ered the mainland of North America, claimed In the name of tho King of England. Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian nav igator In the service of Portugal, holds title as the discoverer of South America and from him the American continent take their name. France too. waa first represented in American exploration by an Ital lan, Giovanni da Verranzano, be lieved to have been the discoverer of New York bay and Hudson river. Thus, though Italians led in New World discovery, Italy failed to apon sor the expeditions. As a consequence Italy haa never had a colonial pos session In America. Eight other Eur opean countries have, at one time or another, had American colonies. These are Spain, once holder of vast territories in both of the American continents, Sweden, Holland, France.
