Jim Mallory kept his grip on the glrl'a arm until he saw the! fury fade out of her eyes. She rubbed her wrist then as if he had ' hurt her. She was pretty, yes. With her, copper-tinted hair and wide gold flecked eyes, she was pretty. And perhaps more than pretty. Jim Mallory looked away from her, thinking he'd better watch his; step. Soma friend had once told him, "There's Irish blood in you, Jim, and the Irish are sentimen tal. Youll be a pushover for a pretty face, whether It's the right or wrong one." ' Be heard this girl, this Mary Larsen, say, "All I wanted to know was where I could find your employer, James Mallory, the owner ot the Ajax Salvage Com pany." . ! , "Ha has an office." ' : "He's never there. I was there' twice, and I could get no satisfac- tion out of the office boy. But at least he didn't manhandle me." ; , "James Mallory wont go for a i pretty face any more than I will.! Now tell me who sent you here to question me. He put his pipe between his teeth again, and this time felt in hit pockets for matches. He had Don there, but a box was on the table. The girl picked up the box, took out and struck a match, and ' held it out for him. He saw laughter In her eyes as he puffed. He wasn't suspicious until she rose- and shoved the table against him. She turned and ran for the companion way, reaching the deck before he recovered from his sur prise. He heard the splash as she took to the water, and reaching deck he saw her striking out for shore. . She swam well, but not too well, and he knew before she was half way to shore that she wasn't going to make it. He kicked off his shoes when he saw the first falter in her stroke, then ripped off his shirt and dove In when he ' saw her go under. a TTE couldnt find her at first That (cared him. The water was treacherous here. A wave hit tiim and took him under. He felt the drag of the undertow before he broke surface. She went under again before she reached her, but he caught her icoming up. She was gasping, choking, but she didn't fight him. Me got his arm around her, felt her go limp. She was so free of (panic that he thought she might; be faking. But then he knew, somehow, that she wasn't like Hhat He got her onto the sand, uni Iwhere it was dry. Sha lay with; (eyes dosed, shivering, or trem bling. There was a car parked up by the road, which he euessed 1 was hers. He went to it and found I w beach robe. He took the robe (back and covered her. "I suppose I ought to thank Cfou," she said. - "You ought to know better than to swim after a heavy meal," he aid.. What he liked about her was her lack of hysterics. And wax sore because he liked anv- jthlng about her, since she had1 been put onto him. J"ShaH I drive you to where you're going? Or can you make BtT" an man . aner I rest a: loment I haven't far to Hrim ust to the Hammond estal m uaian reeR." Jim Mallory nodded.

Hammond Steamship Lines, and the Sonora was a Hammond ship. TIM MALLORY felt a secret y excitement The Sonora, a "freighter, had gone down six months ago in the Caribbean. He had found the location by acci-i lent, and had written Hammond1 bout a salvage deal. Hammond1 had been uninterested. '. There were a lot of queer angles Jo the sinking. Queerest of all (was the interest shown , by this. Igm, this Mary Larsen who came (from Hammond's house. You kouldn't figure that out Jim MaU wry thought He had guessed she team from the man who wanted to pay him, then threatened him, to reveal the Sonora's location.. That man couldn't have been Hammond, and it didn't seem likely that Hammond had sent this girl to learn the location. As (owner of the ship, Hammond wouldn't seek the information in Mich an underhanded way. Jim Mallory said, lookine down it the girl. "So von rnm fmm 'Hammond's place. But he didn't no you7" "No. . . She lay there, watch. Ing him with half-closed eyes. ler lashes were incredibly long. came on my own. I'll be linn. leat with you. I wanted to find Tames Mailory, and ask him about certain ship that was lost at sea." "Why?" She didn't answer that "Did Hammond know you were trying to find Malloryf , ."No." "And you wouldn't want Ham mond to know what you were up to?" ! Her eyes opened wide, meeting his with a disturbing steadiness. "That's right," she said. "Did you have some idea of telling him?" He didn't answer. He gave her i a hand when she started to get I up and walked to the car with jher after she got into the beach robe. She took a pair ot sandals from the car and put them on her feet. She still looked a litUe i shaky. She got into the car and started the motor. It was a big yellow roadster with the top laid back. It looked like a lot of money to Jim Mallory. "Since you've played hero for me," she said, "I suppose I should forgive you for almost breaking my arm on the tug." Jim Mallory said, 'Thanks." Then, as she released the brake: "Come around to the Ajax Sal vage Company's office tomorrow. I think you and James Mallory have a lot to say to one another." She looked at him for a long moment Then said, "Thanks, Spike." "Don't mention it" He stood there and watched her drive away. He called himself a foot He could have told her now. as well as tomorrow, that he was James Mallory. He had no good reason for keeping that secret or for seeing her again. The girl was trouble. He shrugged, turned, walkad to the water. Curly had put the tug in closer to shore. It wasn't much ot a swim, tills time. . . . There was a letter awaiting him when he got to tho office at Bar rows Landing. Harris, who ran the office after a fashion, said it had been delivered by a uni formed chauffeur in a town car. That was unusual enough for Harris to note and comment on. The letter gave him a Jolt It was an invitation from Jef fery Hammond to spend the week-end at the Indian Creek mansion. To talk business.
