CHAPTER TO TLfONNIB relaxed under the trip irj-of Larry's ringers. Shi looked up it htm, unbelieving. "Your brother?" "Yes." "But the man was never Identi fied. Ha waa burned so horribly." "I know It was Hugh." Larry tried to make his voice calm. It wasn't easy, talking to her like thla. His hands dropped tram her shoulders, "When I didn't hear from Hugh, I came down to look for him. I've been all over the west, searching for him," Larry lied. "I hear about this accident, this unidentified man. I took chance It might be Hugh. I was right A dentist's examination con firmed It" "I'm sorry, Larry, terribly sorry." The touch of her hand on his arm was comforting, her sym pathy was sincere. She sat down again, gently pulled him to the swing beside her. 'Tell me more about him, Larry." He rolled a cigaret, tried to keep his eyes from ner. : That Monnie knew more about this accident than she was telling, he was sure. But how could he find out, without arousing her sus picions. Perhaps she might be in volved No, Monnie would never be mixed up in a crooked deal. But if she loved Bentley. ... A woman will do almost anything for the man she loves. What was B cutler's role? Hat ing Bentley as he did, it was easy for Larry to accuse him of some part in Hugh's death. Bentley was on friendly terms with a bank robber this Bill was working at the Circle-Cross. A match flared in the darkness. Monnie's hand was touching his own, Larry liked being near to her. He was tempted to put his arm round her, pull her close, kiss those inviting lips. Monnie's voice brought him back to the present I This brother of yours, Larry "j "Hugh was a swell guy," Larry; began. "Married, lived down ctate. He was he was In the In-; urance business. Burglary Insur- nee. Traveled a lot But he wrote me regularly, and wrote to Betty, his wife, every day. s "When Betty didn't hear from Mm for a week, aha wired me. I came down and we've been look ing for him ever since. That waa mora than five months ago." Ha hoped Monnie wouldn't ask why, as newspaperman, he couldn't - have checked accident records sooner. She didn't, was apparent ly toe deeply engrossed in her own thoughts. ' "And to think," she said abrupt ly, "I was the cause of the acci dent I killed your brother, "Monnie! You don't know what you're saying." I "Iff true, Larry. I didn't mean 'to, but I did. It waa my faulU I Oh, Larry!" Sobs shook her body. and Larry s arm went around her men, to pull her head down on his shoulder. After a few minutes, aha stopped crying, dried her eyes and pushed away from him. "Don't blame ma too much, Larry. If I hadn't been driving las fast" a e e K'TT happened up on Dead Man's ', A Curve," ahe began. That's m the highway about half-way 'between here and Mike's. You know where you leave the con crete to turn into the Hayhook. ... If you went straight on, you'd dip down into the canyon and then climb a long hill to go by Bentley's. The curve Is halfway tip the hill. It's a sharp turn, but jit's well marked and not danger ous unless you try to make it too last. Going up, you have the in side. The canyon floor is about 300 feet below the curve and it's 'almost a sheer drop." J Larry could feel her grow tense ia she forced herself to go on. - "On the night of the accident, iMike called me. It was late but he said he'd just come back from Chicago, flown down with some Ifriends and they wanted to meet jme. He'd brought me some pres ents, too, and some things I'd j asked him to get for me. He couldn't leave his guests, he said, iao would I drive right over. I "I was on the way Inside of 'half an hour. I always drive fast land I went up the hill doing about 'to or 60. Then at the curve " ; She paused briefly, got a new grip on her emotions, then went on. "I must have been about 200 yards from the curve when this 'car came down the hill. I couldn't stop. The driver apparently made .no effort to turn, when he saw jmy lights. His car crashed through (the barricade, plunged over the cliff and rolled down Into the 'canyon. ' "I stopped as soon as I could, pulled off the road a little and ran back to where the car had dis appeared. Far down In the canyon, 'I could see flames shooting up from the .wreckage, of the car. Then I heard a shot ' "I stood there, paralyzed, and suddenly, Mike was beside me. .Together we scrambled ana sua down to the car, tried to pull the 'dead man from the burning wreck. I "Pretty soon there were other people around and at last two highway patrolmen arrived. Mike 'talked to them for a bit, then 'helped ma climb back up to the road. He Drought me home," SERIAL STORY BY TOM HORNER SSrJi.! MfOT that'a not the story you "told at the Inquest," Larry broke In. "You testified that the car went over the edge before you reached the turn " "Mike made me say that, Mike and Daddy," Monnie admitted. "After that accident at school, and the others I had been in, Mike said the coroner would never believe I hadn't forced the man off the road. I didn't want to lie about it Larry" ahe was begging him to believe her "but Mike was right With my reputation tor fast driving, and because I was the only witness to the accident they might have tried me for man slaughter. The man was dead I couldn't help him any, and Oh, Larry, I wanted to tell the truth, but Dad said Mike was right And Pete Barnes, too. Won't you try to believe me Larry?" Looking at her, Larry knew she was telling the truth. Hugh's death had been no fault of hers. Hugh probably saw the lights of her car, speeding toward him, took the curve rather than crash into her head-on. Hugh was like that Larry would have done the same thing, had he been in Hugh's place. "I believe you, Monnie," he said. "I don't blame you." TTS paused a minute, puzzling over an unanswered question. "How did Bentley get there so fast?'" he asked. Monnie had an answer for that "Mike said he went outside to wait for me. right after he called. He saw this car go racing down the highway, swinging from side to side, as if the driver were drunk. Mike was afraid there would be a wreck if ye met was terrified to think what might happen to me if we met on Dead Man's Curve, so he hurried out to stop me."
