"Where are you headed for?" "San Diego," he answered. "Where do you want to go?" "To San Diego. May I ride all the way, please?" "Sure, baby, why not?" He pulled the truck back into the read. Judith settled back. This was a break, she thought. She'd have been an easy prey to follow, in the bandits' car. This way, there was less chance of them catching up with her. The thought of Tom at their mercy was not a pleasant one, but he was right in telling her to get the plans safely, to San Diego first That was the impor tant thing their own happiness and welfare must be forgotten lor now. A T noon they stopped at a road side cafe. Judith was raven ously hungry. She had not eaten since last night when the plane stopped. She ate greedily, her head bent over the plate. Thus she did not see the two men enter the cafe and sit down at the other end of the lunch counter. "She can't be far away," said one of the men, and Judith stopped eating, her fork poised in mid-air. She peered around at her new found friend cautiously. Instantly, she recognized Heavy and the for eigner, Karl. Her appetite van ished. She reached in her purse for a pencil and paper, wrote a note and slipped it to the truck driver at her side. "Get me out of here quietly. Hurry!" He read It and looked at her sharply. She inclined her head toward the other men, and he saw the fear in her eyes. He quickly put some coins on the counter and stood up, keeping between her and the men until they reached the door. From there Judith threw caution aside and darted for the truck. He took his place under the wheel and off they rolled. "Am I helping a criminal es cape?" he demanded bluntly. ''No," she answered readily, not r taking offense at his question. "Those are the men I escaped from last night They , must not catch me again. They are dan gerous. The blond one Is a for eigner. He would kill me, I think." . "I don't like foreigners," he said gruffly;.-: .-:"Shake, Mister." He was a swell guy, she decided. Lucky for her things had turned out as well as they had. Without Ihis help, she would probably have been caught by now. Suddenly she snapped to attention. She turned to Harry. "Is there a car back of you?" He looked Into the side mirror. "Yeah a big black one. Com ing fast too." "That's It," gasped Judith. She caught Harry's arm and her nails cut into his flesh. "Please don't stop if they tell you to." "Okay, sister." He grinned. "IH handle this. And don't worry about them stopping this wagon. We're loaded and rolling." ' In a moment the car caught up ;with them and pulled up level with the truck. Judith slid down I out of sight. One of the men: leaned out and yelled. "Pull over, bud, if you don't 'want any trouble." Judith recog nized Heavy's voice. "Says you!" Harry snarled, Jam jming his foot on the gas. The i truck leaped forward. They were speeding down the road at a ter 'rifle speed by now. Harry glanced in the mirror and ;aw the car gaining on them. As jit drew up level with them again, his jaws set in a stubborn line. "You asked for it!" yelled Harry out of his window. "Here I come!" He jerked the truck to the mid dle of the road. There was a iscreeching of tires as the speeding car swerved into the ditch and hit the embankment. Without a backward glance, Harry put the accelerator to the floor and sped on.-' "You can come up for sir now," he told Judith, with grim satis faction. "Nobody's going to make me pull over and stop if I don't want to not while I'm driving this wagon." AS they rolled on down the high- way, Judith realized she must change her course. Harry had be come a friend a good friend in these few short hours, and as long as she was with him, his life was In danger. Tho truck would be easy to follow, and her pursuers would show up again, she was sure of that. And this time they would use their guns. She reached . in her nurse for I handkerchief, and her Angers touched a small package. The sleeping pills! A plan began to materialize. About sundown, Xiuriy jjutled Into a dumpy looking tourist camp and stopped. "Well, baby, here's where we spend the night. Not much to look at, but it's clean enough. I'll see about getting you a cabin. I Usually sleep in the truck." "If you'll get some groceries from the woman in there, Harry, I'll cook us a nice meat I'm awfully hungry. Some coffee, and steak and bread," she suggested. "Say, that'll be swell," he said, j Hofwont back to the store, and returned soon, laden with the groceries. While Judith prepared the meal, he sat watching her with "'"'ol oyoa. "I just can't figure you out" he said once. "Don't try to, Harry," she an swered. "Everything will be all right now, I'm sure. Thanks to you," she added. WHEN ha went In to wash up, Judith opened her purse quickly and seized the sleeping medicine. Into his coffee she put two doses. "That ought to do the trick," she decided. "Two spoons or one of sugar, Harry?" she called to him. "Two spoons, baby," he an swered, coming back Into the room. "You're sure a swell girl cooking supper and making it so homelike." "I'm trying to repay you for your .kindness today," she said. "Here drink your coffee while it's hot and I'll finish frying the steak. I never drink coffee at night. It keeps me awake." Judith took as long as she could to finish the rest of the meal and put it on the table. When she finally sat down, Harry was stupid and drowsy, yawning with every breath. He mumbled something about taking a short nap and dropped his head onto the table. She waited a moment, then slipped quietly from her chair. She put on her hat, took two $10 bills from her purse and stuffed them into his shirt pocket where she had seen him put the truck keys. She tiptoed out the door. No one was around the other cabins as she made her way to the back. It was quite dark. She paused behind the last shack in the row as she saw car lights pull into the camp. A man said: "There's the truck all right We'll get a cabin next to it" Judith's heart stood still as she recognized Heavy's voice. (To Be Continued) HOLD EVERYTHING!
