Newspaper Page Textv. I. i 5 SERIAL STORY " - SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR BY BLANCHE ROBERTS MENTAL CASK" CHAPTER XI J70R a moment the cabin of the schooner was deathly quiet Then Burke spoke. Let go of herl" he said from betu?n closed teeth. 'Take your dirty hand o(T her!" 'So you have dejldwt to Ml thing about the bomber?" prompted Karl, grinning with vic tory but retaining his hold on Judith. "He is not," Judith cut in. "Do what you like but he's not talking. He is not selling American defense for my sake." She turned her eyes on Burke. "Don't say anything, Tom." Then the foreigner slapped her. The blow staggered her and she reeled back against the wall. "Stop HI" roared Tom, and broke loose from Heavy's grasp. He could not do much, tied as he was, but ha made a lunge for Karl. -The force of his body knocked the man over and broke the hold on Judith. While they scrambled to get Burke under control, Judith dashed up the cabin steps. One of the men yelled and sprang after her, but she did not pause. She was just one jump ahead of the man as she reached the rail. His hands grabbed at her as she plunged overboard. The cold splash of water took her breath away for an instant ' When no shot followed her, she thought, "They re sure I will drown. Maybe I will." But with determination she started swimming for the lighted horizon. She would not let her- . self think of Tom back there in the schooner. If she could reach shore she could summon help. Just then the clouds and fog lifted for a few minutes and the moon came out brightly. She saw that she was not so far from a cove. If only she could reach it without being tossed against the rocks! ' A swell rose, tossing her over and under as it broke into a white foam. When she came out of it, spitting- water, another one caught her and bounced her around like a grain of sand. But It carried her a little nearer the cove. A blackness settled over her as she felt herself go down and down. JUDITH moved, groaned and slowly, opened her eyes. She saw a blue sky overhead. She sat up and looked about in'bewil derment She was in a little cove protected by 'rock on three, side, the pounding ocean on the other. The tide was out; when it came in, she might be swept out to sea again. The thought brought her instantly to her feet . . Shivering with her damp clothes and the biting sir; she set out to ecale the rocky wall. Sham rocks bit at Tier bands and brought' blood.' Her long fingernails broke dike paper; - Her shoes were gone 'and her clothes were in rags. But tugging," "-pulling,.: slipping, she ifinaliy jeached the top of the cliffy . ' She -sought to pierce the heavy Ifng blowing in from sea. As she -was about to turn away, the fog isuddenly-thinned- and she saw a number of pleasure boats an chored down the coast, but she Sjau no -idea which one she had' scaped from. And-now was hot the time to ponder. She had to get to the authorities and find help for Tom. She turned and started away, fighting the nausea in the pit of her stomach. The going was slow and the rough earth bruised her feet Again and again she fell, rose 'wearily to her feet and stumbled .-on. '''.. . . At last she reached a lettuce Ifarm and went up to the little house. There she collapsed on the I doorstep. A Chinaman came hur Irying out to stare at her. Her throat was so dry she couldn't talk until be handed her a drink of water. "Can you take me to town?" she managed to ask In a weak whisper. "Me no gottee car, ladee," he: sang, and lifted his hands help-,' aessly. "A wagon?" she suggested hopefully. He shook his head.' "No gottee." S, l But he pointed to a mule, and there was a happy smile on his face. : "Me flxy," he told her. Judith leaned her bead against the post of the porch and tears dimmed her blue eyes. "How am I to ride a mule?" she wondered. I'But I have to." c The old man was gone a long time down at the barn. When he ' Idid return Judith's lips' slowly Iparted in amazement The mule was hamessed to the ibarn door. The Chlnnmfm won .grinning broadly. Judith laughed Idespite her misery. : ;'OME along, ladee," he called, and stopped for her. ' Judith stepped on the sled but , 'decided quickly she had better sit ; down. She was skinned and bleed dng. Her once beautiful curls were -..matted and she was dirty. She looked worso than a tramp. The. town they reached hours later was hardly more than a wide scot in the road. The Chinaman took her to the only store. She thanked him profusely for his aid. - Judith went Inside the build ing. She tried to explain to the man about her capture and escape, : and how she was washed to the rocky shore. He stared at her. nodding his head, but by his look she knsw hs did not believe a word of her story. , .. "You will help me, won't you?" she begged, her eyes tragic. "Get me a car?" "Sure, miss. Just a minute. I'll call one." He went to the back of the store. , . But what- the. grocer - really called . was an ambulance,.-' as Judith discovered hen 'tlio- oar, riini rlawirjnif to a step before ' COPYRIGHT. 1041. NE SERVICS. INC. the store. The attendants came in. "Here she is, boys," said tho man. Why why" Judith stammered, "I don't want an ambulance. I asked for a car." She turned on the owner of the store, her eyes blazing. ''You old hypocrite! You can't do this to me. Take your hands off." h yelled st tho at tendants as they took her by tho arms and led her, struggling, to the waiting ambulance. "Mental case," said the man, following them. "Talks about spies and escaping in the ocean." "You old viper," screamed Judith as she was forced into the car and the door closed. "Don't you take me to a hospital," she warned the white-coated man. "I want to go to the Watson Airplane factory in San Diego." "Sure, miss," agreed the young doctor soothingly. "You think I'm crazy? Well, what you're doing is crazy in terfering with justice and letting criminals escape! You can't do this." "Please don't worry, miss," he said. "The name is Miss Kingsly and I am employed by Ihe Watson Airplane Co. I was kidnaped by spies. Can't you understand?" "If you will just be quiet. Miss Kingsly," he began. "Keep - quiet yourself," she snapped at him. She huddled as far away as she could get while the ambulance roared down the highway. She clenched her fists and bit hard on her lower lip to keep from cry ing. She refused to answer the questions put to her by the young interne. it was the last straw when the car rolled to a stop and she looked out to see the hospital before her. She burst into a flood of tears. The nurse at the desk motioned with her hand to inquire if it were a mental case. The attendants nodded as they led Judith to the elevator.
