She crept to the car 'and peered in cautiously. It was empty. Without a second's hesitation, she opened the door and got in. She felt around in the dark for the switch. The engine started imme diately and, shoving it into gear, she pulled the car around Just as she heard. someone yell from with in the airliner. . - ' . She hadn't known an automobile could gather so much speed in second - gear. She followed the tracks across, the desert For fully 200. yards the trail ran perfectly straight. She shut off the ligtits as a gun cracked behind her. Dirt and gravel flew up and sprayed & ear 'With dust. Other shots followed quickly, but went . wild. When she judged she had gone the length of the trail, she turned the lights back on. Just in- time to keep from missing the tracks she was following. . , ' A faint light burned in the'dls tance and she slowed the car. Aa aha drer r.csrer, , a snack took shape and from its window came "the, light she had seen. She stopped the car some yards from the hoiu and got out, the small gun gripped tightly in her right hand. - Trem bling a little, she moved silently forward to look in at the window. She felt sure she would find Tom Burke held a captive inside. By -standing on : her toes and craning her neck, Judith could see . in. Burke was tied hand and foot, sitting on a box that faced the window. Moving to the other side of the opening, she could see there was only one man guarding the' prisoner, the co-pilot : The two were just sitting there. ... ' Judith let her face be framed in the window, hoping Tom would see her. He did. But only a slight flicker of his dark eyes gave hint to- her presence. He turned his head and spoke to the pilot and she knew It was to keep the man's attention so he would not discover her. . ' .She crept to the door, the gun ready for action, her heart ham- Z taiering against her ribs. On the " t4U.l..U -I 1 M u , uucbuuiui bus puuHxi igr action. li 'Tut up your hands!" she told. jthe pilot firmly. There was not a f jtremor in her voice though her, knees shook violently and threat-' ned to give way.. v i , .The man whirled, reaching up- fward with his arms as he did so. -i There's a knife in- my coat!

There was no mistaking the "coldness and daring in his -eyes V. land Judith did not once underesti- mate him as she reached for the 1 . jknif e. She knew if the man made a move her finger would squeeze - the trigger. : . j i ; She worked hard at the' ropes ... . with the knife In her left hand and . as the: last thread was cut from "v" around' Tom's, wrists, her -eyes flickered from the man across the SDorn. There was a quick move- knent and Burke made a 'dive for Hho pilot, his feet still tied to- ?" gether. The two went down to . gether.

I fGet to San Diego," he ordered hoarsely. "Go on, Judyl" - - She left and ran quickly to the ai.i She did not look back. but drove, furiously down the road, hoping it would lead her toward Jier destination. She would not let herself think of Tom fighting back f . there in the cabin with that man. If the plans had not been In her possession, she would have stayed. iBut she not only had a duty to -? lier company, she now had one to ? her government i . Before long, she struck a high- i way, and breathed a little easier. 4' . '"I wonder how much gas this . vj-' ear has in it?" she asked herself , , and switched on the dash light A ' feeling of horror enveloped her v the tank was nearly empty. But as if in answer to her prayers, her headlights picked out a small sta tion by the side of the road. It was closed, but she refused to be dis mayed. She pulled the big car into the drive and honked. She kept on honking until she woke the. man who was sleeping in the rear of y his station. Ho came out, rubbing Ills eves and grumbling loudly. "I'm sorry to disturb you but I ' nave to have come gas," Judith "i itold him earnestly and his eyes 'widened at the sight of a pretty 5 young woman. "You will Just have v. (to open up and sell me some." . "Why sure," he agreed, his mood changing Instantly. "Always , , glad to Oblige a lady. How many?" he asked as he unlocked the pump. 2- ' "Fill it up," she instructed, "and ' lease hurry." , ', , As she sat there, two - cars " (Whlaed by and each time her 'heart came into her throat for fear they might be her pursuers, one man put the cap on the tank land she handed him a ten-dollar i ; Wll.

Driving a ' stolen car was bad enough, But when some men recognised it and were probably a part of the spy ring she was run ning from, it was high time to Tn MArnnnt -n can, (ha hMll. lltfVitc nf tha other car swinfl onto h hlirhwav. After thnt she never looked up from the road in front of her as the speedometer noverea over and above the 90 mark. She quickly passed the two cars in front of her.

She was exhausted. Her eyes burned from the.strain of the night's wild drive. She was thankful for trie ngm oi aay. "I've got to get rid of this car," she ' thought "Maybe I could hitch-hike the rest of the way." She approached the outer edge of a small town where everything seemed still asleep. She turned down a deserted street and parked the car. Crawling out stiffly, she did a few stretching exercises and was soon limber enough to walk back to the highway. She walked .through town to the opposite side and sat down in a protected spot jtorest' -''' . She waited for a ride, letting iseveral cars go by ' unaccosted. iFically sha spotted a big Uuck. icomlng down the road. ' She stood 'up and moved to the side of the ! pavement lifting her. thumb as she had seen hitch-hikers do. She could not keep the amused little grin from her face. The truck slowed, stopped. A burly fellow leaned over and opened the cab door. , , "Hop in sister," 1 he invited, grinning. (To Be Continued) 1 Making light of your troubles may help you to see the , way clear. ..... COZY .

So they're saving their pri vate automobile and are using a larger machine to carry them to work. With benches installed, they find the new vehicle quite cozy it's a hearse.
