CHAPTER XXXVII
Tiio car ahead swerved.
Tony braced herself , clutching
at the door of the taxi to keep
from illpplnc at the cab veered
eraslljr alter.
"Not ao fast!!" he ped,
loaning forward with her tare
rloee to the half-open I lass par
tition between the driter and
paeaensor. "I don't want to let
near!"
"Colin kovp moving lu thli
liatMo!" tho tliuutfeur retorted
Jauntily. "Can't stand 81111!"
Nevertheless ho rtackened bit
speed. When the limousine In
wlil.h Judith was riding atopped
to wait for the red signal lights
to flash Into green the cab halt
ed at dlicreet distance.
Tonjr moved Imiai!cntly. She
cat at the very edge of her aval,
crumpling and recrumpltng the
gray envelopo In her band. Her
cyt were glued oil the big ma
roon car.' Seconds seemed like
hours. Tony'a Hps were pressed
Into a cruel line. She was like
a cat watching prey.
Suddenly, with an almost In
stantaneous jolt both cars sprang
forward.
They were on Sixtn avenue
now, heading southward. Past
'orty-fifth atreet. Forty-Fourth
street. Forty-third. A turn into
the maelstrom of Times Square.
"Stop here! Draw op to the
curb!" Tony Issued her com
mands sharply.
The taxi driver gave her a
glance over his shoulder,
"Can't do it, lady,"
Miraculously the traffic lights
turned at that instant. Tony's
hand had gone to her throat, she
had seen her father's car move
close to the sidewalk, pause long
enough for Judith to ctep out,
then pull off and disappear.
Snnk back against the leather
upholstery, Tony watch her step
mother. Judith seemed to waver
uncertainly In the tides of traffic.
Then aha stepped forward, signal
ing a cab.
"That's the woman I want to
follow. The one In black -see?"
Tony told the driver.
"Yeah! I getrha all right.'!
Now they were off again. Dif
ficulties only whetted Tony
Knight's keenness for the chase.
In the juggling, dipping whirl of
vehicles they might lose track of
Judith at any moment. There
were dozens of other cabs just
like hers. But Tony was warm
ing to the hunt,
The thick-jawed, short-spoken
taxi driver manipulated his cab
recklessly. He edged In between
trucks and spurted at the exact
Instant to avoid deliye. He
plunged forward and stopped
short. Risks were the day's rou
tine to him. They were even less
than that to his passenger.
She was young, he had noted,
pretty and expensively dressed
She was very much in earnest.
The job looked like opportunity
knocking in the form of a size
able tip.
They reached West Twelfth
street. Now the going was easier,
They were away from the uptown
hordes. Streets were less con
gested (though still well filled)
and the second cab followed more
lowly. It kept a good halt block
fcehlnd Its leader.
"There's the place!" Tony
whispered to herself.
The first taxi had stopped be
fore a dark brick building. Ju
dith emerged, paid her fare and
Talked up the steps of the house.
"Want me to stop here?" the
chauffeur inquired of Tony.
"Yea."
The brakes of the cab ground
together, bringing it to a stop.
The girl inside did not step out.
With her nose pressed flatly
against the glass pane she waited,
watching Judith.
"This is the place," Tony was
saying to herself. "I'll bet he
lives here. Oh wouldn't I give
anything- to sea him, though!
v LAURA LOU BROOKMAN
What a little, lying sneak she's
been!"
Th door before which Judith
hud been waiting opened. Now
she was talking, though th par
ran to whom she spoke remained
hidden. The door closed and Ju
dith turned about,
A guilty blush mounted In
Touy Knights cheeks. Judith
bad glanced directly toward the
taxlcab, but of course she could
uot dream who was Inside! An
ordinary, orauge-hued cab was a
common enough sight on any
street. That should not excite
suspicion. Just the same Tony
(ell relieved when the other girl
calmly shitted her gaze across
the street, ,
"What's she waiting for!" the
imps in Tony's consciousness de
manded. "Ah for what!" ther imps
answered back, in ghoullh glee.
The question was more defi
nitely answered immediately.
From out the shadows of the
doorway a figure stepped. Tony
Knight was so excited a little gasp
escaped her lips. The man was
slim, built with rather square
shoulders but rather sparse line.
He looked youthful. He was pull
ing a cap down over his head and
he wore a dark top-coat.
Tony saw Judith atep back, saw
her suddenly clutch at both of
the man's hands and raise her
head. Swiftly Judiths lip met
the stranger's.
Whatever Judith Knight was
saying to the man was earnest
and intent. The girl who watch
ed, crouched in her hiding place,
could not make out the man's ex
pression. Her heart pumping vio
lently, Tony Knight waited.
They were coming down the
steps now tose'her. Should they
turn, Tony asked herself, would
she dare ?
They had turned. They were
coming toward the orange-hued
taxicab.
Touy Knight jerked at her
hat, lowering its brim over her
eyes. Fascinated, entirely for
getful of danger, ahe waited.
Judith was talking, her face
tcward the man. He was rather
good-looking. Tony decided. She
could not make out his features
distinctly, but he carried him
self well. He was attentive ,-s
Judith talked.
Now they were almost beside
her!
The couple passed the taxlcab.
In tboee fleet seconds Tony
Knight took in the appearance of
Judith's companion. She assured
herself she could identify him any
where.
Dark eyes. Straight nose. Broad
mouth and above it a small dark
mustache. m Was he 25 years old
Certainly no older. He was well
Pressed, almost dapper. And his
eyes not for one instant left Jo
ditto's face.
Tony in her absorption with
the man forgot to look at Judith
They had passed without even
l giance at the cab.
"Turn around!" Tony told her
driver exoitedly. "Drive back up
the street."
Turning was not so simple. By
the time the taxlcab had whirled
about and beaded back whence
it had come the couple had turn
ed a corner. And when Tony
reached that corner and prepared
to follow the pair were out of
sight.
The girl gave instructions to
drive slowly up the street. It
was no use. She looked to left
and to right, but her quarry had
disappeared.
Tony Knight's crimson lip
pouted.
'Pennsylvania station," she
told the driver shortly.
Arriving at the station, she
left the cab, paid a 15 taxi bill
and added a generous tip. Then
she bought a ticket and took the
lnterurban train home.
The little sneak!" ' Tony
Knight whispered nnder her

"He says them gaits ain't funny? Why It's all I can do to

breath, "Oh, th sneaking little
cheat."
Tony was nearly bursting with
lh excitement of her discovery.
She knew a little now. She would
find out more and piece the
whole together.
Instinct cautioned the girl
quite suddenly to turn about aud
scan her neighbors. No, there
was no one who knew her in the
car.
The torn and twisted bit of pa
per still lay In her hand. Tony
Knight glanced at the envelope,
then began to smooth and
straighten It out. She drew forth
tho crumpled pages.
"Dear Judy," the letter began.
"Sorry to be late in answering
your note. There's no word
from the Chief, though I've been
expecting it dally. No news in
this case, I guess, is good news.
"I know what you're up against
or at any rate I know enough
to wish I could help. Can't you
get over soon? It's been a long
while. Long, that is, tor mc!
"There's more I want to tell
you but it will have to wait for
a private visit. How about a lit
tle dinner next week? You set
the night. There's a plan in my
head, dear, that may mean a lot
tor both of us. .Maybe you can
guesa part of It.
"If there's anything from the
Chief within the next day or two
I'll drop it in the mall. This is
one of the lonesome nights. Why
aren't you here? No use starting
that all over again, I suppose.
Remember I'm counting ou you
for next week. Always Dan."
The aignature had been added
with a conspicuous flourish. Tony
studied this signature carefully.
Now she had seen Dan (ol
course it must have been he!) and
the whole letter had acquired
added Interest. Dan was good
looking and young and in love
with Judith. Dan and Judith
evidently had secrets. They had
been meeting together and evi
dently plotted further meeting,
llotu received messages from
omeoii knowu a the "Chief."
Why it was an outrageous In
trigue! Thar wo mor to this myste
ry than wua apparent. Yet. cer
tainly, Tony meant to know It all,
She arrived at the house before
Judith did, rushed to her room,
and St) minutes later joined Ar
thur Kulght in the living room.
H was a. cool evening, even
though It waa April. Low flames
flickered on the hearth and gave
th room a cheerful warmth.
Tony pulled a low footstool in
front of her father's chair, perch
ed on it and rested her head
against bis knees.
"Daddy," the said in a wheed
ling vole, "sometimes I get eo
lonesome for you!"
"Why, Tony, how could you be
lonesome?" ,
"But there's such a little bit of
time w have together I mean
really together, .without anyone
else, daddy. I've been wondering
if you and I couldn't take a trip
somewhere "
"Trip are out of the question,
Tony. Couldn't think of It. Your
dad's got to get back on the
Job!"
"But. father!"
It was a pretty and appealing
picture the girl made. Arthur
Knight smiled down at her, pat
ted her dark curls then looked
up abruptly.
Judith Knight had entered th
house and stood in the hallway.
"Well. Judith." said her hus
band rather stiffly. "You're late!"
"I know. And I'm sorry!"
"Trouble with the car?"
"No oh no, it wasn't any
thing like that, I my watch
stopped. I thought it was an
hour earlier. Is dinner waiting?"
They told her that Harriet had
announced th meal was ready,
Judith pulled oft hat and coat,
gave her hair a pat and said they
should go into the dining room
at once.
The bouillon was hot and In
viting. The rest of the dinner
was up to Cora's high standard.
Judith tasted th food with relish
because she was hungry.
Gradually she became aware
that something was wrong with
Twelve Years Mayor and
Going Strong!
W HEN a man who has been
mayor of a big city for twelve
years finds out how to live, his words
are worth listening to. Ex-Mayor
. N. Kirby of Abilene, Texas, dis
covered the simple way to health
about ten years ago (he is now H.)
"I am now a new man, and as
active as a boy," says Mr. Kirby.
"I feel fine all the time and rarely
have an ache or a pain, although for
twenty-five years I suffered with
rheumatism, and sometimes was un
able to stand or walk. I would not
give up my simple health discovery
no, not for five thousand dollars
la gold!" That discovery was Nujol!
That's the wonderful thing about
Nujol. Although it is not a medicine
and contains absolutely no drugs, its
harmless internal lubrication seems
to make people feel better and look
on the brighter side of life, whether
they are old or young.
Of course you can understand why
this is so: we all of us have natural
poisons in our bodies that make us
feel headachy, sick and low in our
minds. Nujol, which is as tasteless
and colorless as pure water, helps to
absorb these and carry them away,
easily, regularly as clock work.
Instead of drugging and irritating
your body with puis, cathartics,
laxatives, and other habit-forming
drugs, give your body the internal
lubrication which it seeds, just as

much ss any other machine. After a
few days you will be surprised at the

can get Nujol in a sealed package in
