She hadn't intended to sleep so. long, but once asleep sha could not waken. Every bona and muscle In her exhausted body ached. It took all her strength and will power to get out ot bed. She walked to the window and looked down on the crowded street. For no apparent reason ber heart quickened its beat and intuition told her the car parked cross from the hotel belonged to the spy ring. A man walked slowly up and down the street,' occasionally glancing at the hotel entrance, "They have found out in some way that I am here." A gleam of light came into her eyes as she turned from the window to the telephone. "Please send me a maid," she told the man at the desk. And while she waited, she mused: "I've come this far on my own and I can -go the rest of the way. I'll deliver these plans in person and nothing is going to stop me." To the maid she said, "Could I rent a uniform from you?" "Oh, yes, miss," the girl replied eagerly at the sight of the bill in Judith's hand. 'Til -get it for you now." Judith left the hotel by the servants' entrance without being accosted and found a cab. An hour later she entered the man ager's office at the west coast fac tory. He looked up, startled at seeing a smiling, redheaded maid stand ing there. He cleared his tliroat while Judith enjoyed his embar rassment. "I don't blame you for being amazed, Mr. Mathews. I'm Judith Kingsly of the eastern office. I have the plans Mr. Burke was bringing to you. Sorry they are late in arriving." Mathews got hastily to his feet; and came around the desk to take her hands. There was deep ad miration in his eyes. ."Yon got through Ii he ex claimed, overjoyed. "When we heard Tom Burke was missing we had just about given up hopes of the plans. Mr. Watson has been (frantic about you. You'd better 1 call the home office right away. Here" he pushed her into a chair I "111 have the call put right Khrough for you." "But what happened to Tom iBurke?" Judith asked fearfully. Mathews shook his head slowly. "We don't know. The plane was Boca ted yesterday and brought in. (The passengers told us what hap pened before and after your dis appearance, but they were all hazy (about the looks of the men." "The last time I saw Tom." said (Judith, her voice low and her (eyes misty, "he was fighting with his captor. He ordered me to leave. I had the plans. He dropped them in my seat when they were taking him off the liner. fThe spies had him in a shack near where the plane was brought down." "The FBI men found the shack. IK was empty, of course." "Of course," she repeated. "They would have Tom with them. So be must be all right," she said. more for ber own benefit than for the manager's. ' When the long distance call feame through, Judith gave Wat won a brief resume of her ex iperiences. "I didnt know I was letting you in for all that," Watson told her contritely. "I want you to stay out there In California for a rest. Three weeks' vacation and a raise, too." She hung up, and lifted sad, speculative eyes to Mathews. " 3 ITalTt Cd3 cly cujCbuCdT u5 made her eyes sparkle with ad venture. "I can help find Tom Burke and the spy ring. I'm sure of it" "How?" She shrugged her slim shoul ders. "Just leave it to me. Those spies have been on my trail con stantly. Just because I have de livered the plans doesn't mean they will let me go free. I rather imagine they'd like to get hold of' me it for no other reason than to put me out of the picture." Mathews sat silent and con cerned. Judith walked to a win dow and looked out "I wouldn't be surprised it someone was waiting for me right now." "We wouldn't think of letting you take such a chance," Mathews exploded. "I'm going to send you' back east in a private plane from the field here." . Judith shook her head. "Tom's life may be at stake,"' she said crisply, then added smil-j lngly,. "Besides, I've just been! promised three weeks' vacation."! "Let's hear your plan, Miss Xingsly." "Those men won't let Tom go 'pot while he knows things they lean use, or while he knows their hideouts. If I con help the Fed eral men catch the spies and res jcue Tom, I think it is my duty la duty I want to perform." j She put a hand on Mathews arm, i "The only way to find Burke ijulckly is for them to take me. You can have someone trail me. jcaa't you?" He nodded, but there was a deep frown between his eyes. "There is no guarantee that Ihey won't kill you before you can be rescued. We just can't take that risk." "I insist, Mr. Mnlhows," she (old him firmly. . "I'll do It any- I ConYHIOHT. I4t, NSA otRVICC. INC. way, you know," she addca ae flantly. "Tom Burke would do the same for me and not even ask permission." "Any man who had ever laid eyes on that red head of yours would fight for you. Miss Kingsly." She blushed, but continued her argument "You see, I know three of the mon in thn rfnff the ones on tha plane. It tliey aren't caught, I'd live in terror all my life. They would know I could Identify them and they would want me out ot the way. And as long as they are at large, our country Is in real danger." Mathews threw up his hands. "All right" he laughed. "I never could win an argument with a pretty woman. I'll get in touch with the government men right now." She grinned, elated over her quick victory. As soon as he put through his call, she said: "I'd like some money. My boss said nothing was too good for me." "That's right young lady. Wa will take down the serial numbers just to be on the safe side. They might take it away from you." "And I'd like a new outfit to wear. This maid's uniform doesn't do me justice." She laughed. "I want to at least look my best if I am to be captured by the en emy. I might be able to flirt my way out Can you order some thing sent here, right away?" "Here" he handed her the telephone "get anything you want I'll send my secretary to help you." Just before S o'clock she was ready to leave the plane factory. She said goodby to the manager, n ),riivht smile on her fnce- and walked out head up. She know there was a man watching her. ready to take up the trail if any thing happened to her. She felt secure and unafraid as she stepped into a waiting taxi. (To Be Continued) THIS CURIOUS WORLD HOLD EVERYTHING! 1 MM. MU ftk U. u a.
