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."
"Bentley said Hugh drove like

"Hugh was drunk, Larry. The
autopsy showed he had been
drinking, and a broken whiskey
bottle was found In his car."
"But Monnie," Larry countered,
"My brother never drank liquor
In his life."

A 1924 model car, which was
purchased originally for $168S
recently was sold for $i0. The
car had been driven only 4.3
miles and was in perfect con

resentative American cities, le
gal curb parking space has
shrunk from one-third to one
half in the past 10 years.
The moon has neither air nor
