" wi pUnnlnf to do with him didn't keep Larry from enjoying - tha dinner hi guards brought He was Juit finishing th pis when "the rancher walked In. ' "Good cook you hire here, rfcentley," Larry commented. "You alwayi eat this well?" Bentley laughed. "No. thli Is pecial for you. The condemned man ate a hearty dinner and all .that Glad you liked it, though. It's your last meaL" Larry rolled a clgaret, eyeing Bentley apeculatively. "You're a Dice guy, Mike. I'll bet you used to drown kittens, stick pins in bugs, and that sort of thing when you were a kid. You enjoy seeing people squirm so much. Do your worst, Bentley. I'm not squirming for you," "You will before we get through with you." The man's Innate cruelly reflected itself in his face. "You came here asking for trou ble, just like your brother. We caught him snooping. We caught you. If s not healthy to know too inuch about Mike Bentley. You're finding that out Your brother discovered the same thing." - - -; "You admit you killed him?" . "Sure, I did. And I did a swell Job of it Unidentified drunk :illed on curve. Everybody forgot about him aa soon as the inquest vns over. No one will bother ' much about a dead cattle thief either." i "There are a few who might be Interested," Larry suggested. "They might even start investi jgating when I dont come back.' Ever think about that?" - "Let 'em investigate all they want to, they won't find a thing." Bentley was aggravating- confi dent "Might slow things up for a bit cancel a few deliveries, but nothing more than? that You're not so important as all that, Coir lins." i "You must have it pretty welT Worked out" '. "I always have things 'pretty well worked out That's why I -ineverfall. Here's what's going to happen to you at least, this is what everyone will think hap pened to you. i "In a couple of hours, you're go tng to knock me out while I sit hero talking to you" IH enjoy that part of It" Lar- by interrupted.' "That's only in- me story, you don't actually have the pleasure of slugging me. One of the boys will take care of it ... You take toy gun, throw down on the boys and get away. Just outside you1 'find my car . . . you jump in it 'nee to town. Youll meet the sheriff at Dead Man's Curve. . . . If he drives too fast you may take him into the canyon with you . . . .1 wont mind, . . . The car cateh- as fire. ... You shoot yourself with my gun, of course rather than burn to death or be taken to prison. Youll make a few head ' lines, but we probably wont both er to hold much of an inquest" "Just like Hugh." Larry com-' mented. "Aren't you afraid some-'' , one will start thinking these ac cidents on the curve are occurring too frequently?" : ' "What if someone does? What can he prove? The sheriff will be the only witness. This setup is perfect It worked for your broth- - ar. Ifll do for you." . .TIILL and two more of Bentley" men came for Larry about :30. They tied his hands behind him, then hustled him upstairs and out into Bentley's car. He was pushed into the front seat beside the rancher. He noticed a man riding a horse down the highway, leading a second saddled horse. "He goes down into the canyon to fire the shot when you kill yourself," Bentley explained. Larry was silent He watched another man put a gasoline can in Bentley's ear. Bill climbed in the back, fondling a machine gun. Bentley drove out to the highway. A second car followed. "Nice car you've got here," Larry said. "Don't you mind los ing it?" Bentley was amused. "It's in sured. I'll need a new one any way, when Monnle and I get mar ried. You knew we were going to be married, didn't you? Monnie set the day, September 10, this aft ernoon. She went on in to town to talk to her bridesmaids. Too bad, Collins. You should have stayed in New York." Larry did not answer. After this afternoon, nothing surprised bun. He didn't mind' Monnie be lieving he was a thief, she might have been angry, but to tell Bent ley about Hugh. That was more than he could stand. He had trusted her loved her. The car stopped, but Bentley left the motor running. Larry ' saw the curve a hundred yards beyond. Bentley got out called to the men in the other car. ' "Turn around and keep the motor running. This will go off ijust like the other one. Joe you get up on the hill. Flash your light when you see a car coming up, then duck back through the pasture. I'll have someone pick you up, I "You, Bill, steer the car. Be sure that fuse is fastened tight ' and watch out you don't blow up when you light it Jump off when the car gets rolling good and go down into the canyon. Tony'll 'have your horse down there. TU go back, to the house with SERIAL STORY HORNER STKS&SS Shultz and let him put a bump on my head. But I'll take caro of Collins first" a TJE came back to Larry, cut the ropes that bound his wrists. "Move over under the wheel, Col lins. You're driving from here on." Bentley handed his automatic to Bill. "I'll take that tommy-gun up to the other car. Shoot him in the head If he tries anything." He was bark in a minute, "All right. Bill. Spill some gasoline back there; wind the fuse up over the door." He took his gun from Bill, got into the scat beside Larry. "Any last words, Collins?" "You certainly have this down to a system." "We practiced on your brother. When Joe flashes his light, I'll shoot you, let of? the brake and put the car in gear. I jerk the hand throttle open as I jump out. Bill lights the fuse, steers you al most to the curve. Then " "What about Monnie? She knows why I'm here, knows I've been trying to prove you're smug gling narcotics. She suspects there was something wrong about the first accident here. She'U talk." "No she won't We'll take care of Monnie. If she starts any trou ble we'll tip the federal men to search her car. There's $500 .worth of dope hidden in it You couldn t find it But the govern ment men wilL" "That's why you stole her car!" . . Bentley nodded. The smell of gasoline came from the rear seat Bill carried the empty can up to the other car. Larry knew he wouldn't have long to wait now. . "Monnie would have trouble explaining how that stuff got in her car. We planted it there just to make sure she wouldn't talk, if she did find out anything. We're ,not worried about Monnie." -YOU'D BETTER BE!" FLAPPER FANNY .COP 1M0 tv NCA CtVKC r-v ,' That' enough of the oomph socks an' we'll take AMERICAN LEADER HORIZONTAL 1 President of - U. 8.
