O'BRIEN BOMBKB TO MON1UAL CHAPTER X ""LYDK DAWSON wu repairing the ravage of his stormy see don with the spy ring in the Turkish bath of his Chicago hotel ' when, at about B o'clock - tint 3 nicht a telephone call waa 1 plugged into the steam room. It was the chief agent of tha F. B. I. . "Something of special interest 4 for you, Dawson," he said. "Your J rood-looking girl friend-boarded a Canadian Colonial Airways plane at LaGuardia Field in New York 30 minutes ago. Our Manhattan office wants to know if they'll , have the plane radioed back . . . 7" n will be over American soil tor oi about an hour more it's the reg--''- alar evening plane for Montreal." "No, let her go . . . I've a sud den hunch and want her to have a little more rope. My compli ments to your Manhattan office damn smart co-operation. One more favor, old man, the War Supplies Office must have a Traffic Routing Department.

X'! "Where to?" "This will tickle you she asked for the best route to Newfound land via Halifax ..." "It fits," Dawson murmured. " From the Urtush baas x phoned directly to the FerryTJom j ' mand headquarters in Montreal i and had them locate the Air Mar- ahaL Half an hour later Dawson , " was on his way to an airport just , .'. outside the Chicago limits. There ; was an Army Air Force officer waiting for him at the gate. ' "I'm instructed to take you dl T rectly to the field, Mr. Dawson," he said crisply. "There's a twin (t engined bomber being held for ' you on Ferry Command instruc- i tions." 1 AT Detroit the plane had to land for customs and immigration clearance and Dawson took ad vantage of the few minutes to phone the Montreal bureau of the si Canadian Intelligence. He gave f- Instructions for the 1:45 TCA j. plane to be held in case he was late and If a reservation was made for one Carole Fiske she would have to use her right name unless she had a phony passport to reserve the seat beside her for him. If the seat waa already re- f served he ordered that Intelli- i' gence priority be. used to secure it. : It was a rough trip, with the plane flying into a strong head- it;, wind. But at 1:35 a. m. the pilot P beckoned to Dawson and the lat ter squeezed his way past the large inside gasoline tank installed for the transatlantic flight. . "We're over Dorval now," the pilot yelled. "Sorry it took so long i tnat wind was plenty sun. . Dawson hurried to the TCA air- port office. . Outside the doorway, a man stepped out of the shadows. It was la Montreal bureau officer. "I've got your ticket here thought you might not want to go (inside because the girl is waiting .. (with the other passengers ..." "Nice going," Dawson cut in, rgo inside and tell the dispatcher jail's set for the take-off anytime, - land I've gone directly to the ' mlane. You hand in my ticket 5 fthey usually pick them up at the ft tdesk." JC I Dawson heard the flight an- bnouncement on the loudspeaker land saw the passengers filing (through the door. . Carole Fiske came out alone. Dawson swung into stride be side her. "Hello," he said simply. Carole Fiske halted in conster nation as she recognized Dawson. iBut she quickly recovered her poise. One hand slipped out of her muff and she held it close to iher body. In it was a snub-nosed (automatic: Don't try to stop me from tak- jing this plane, mister, or you're a (dead pigeon I swear it!" Dawson laughed. "The surest way of missing your plane would be to shoot me here, sweetheart. Instead of trying to stop you I'm actually making the jaunt in the next seat chummy, eh?" The girl was obviously suspi cious, keeping the gun trained on him she hid it with her muff. "Very well, let's go!" she com manded in lowered tone. . IVVHEN they reached the side of " the waiting TCA plane. Carole Tlske slowed her pace and gave an almost imperceptible gesture with her head for Dawson to (mount the movable stairway first, 'Emily Post wouldn't approve." wrinned Dawson. On the second step he stopped suddenly as from the corner of his eye he caught a quick movement man had slipped up silently behind the girl and pinned her larms. 'Drop that gun!" he snarled in to her ear. It was the Montreal lagont and Dawson had completely forgotten about him. Of course the agent had picked up the bit lot side-drama outside the waiting . room and . . . Dawson heard the . hostess coming through the plane . door, evidently attracted by the T commotion. This was no time for "v delicacy, '-' Jumping lightly from the second - step, he punched hard and true over the girl's shoulder straight V Into the agent's face. The latter J reeled back, stumbled and piled ; Into the snowdrift Dawson made rt flying leap and landed squarely "on the stunned man. : "Never mind the poke," Daw- ron hissed, "act as if you are tVjdrunk and we're going in for a COFYttlOHT. HI SIRVICC. INC. Both men began grunting and laughing as they rolled, Diiwson finally yelling in a tone of mock surrender: "Enough . . . enough . . , you got me, Joe." They rose to their feet brushing the snow off their clothes. Carole Fiske was obviously amazed but she took a quick glanr at the frowning hostess and played her part: "Come on, darling," she spoke impatiently, "the plane is waiting send your frisky friend on his way." With apparent unsteadiness, Dawson followed up the steps, checked in with the hostess and sat down heavily in his seat The girl and he had the two end spaces. She was staring at him coldly. "Nice way to treat a Boy Scout pal doing his good deed," she commented crisply, "but why did you wreck it?" Dawson took from his pocket an object which he tossed into her lap. It was the snub-nosed auto matic. "You dropped it outside," he said. "Now come again with the $36 question." Carole Fiske shoved the gun into her purse, frankly bewildered. "I asked you why you wrecked an excellent opportunity to turn tha tables on me out there?" Dawson puckered his lips and tapped his fingers together thoughtfully: "Maybe it's because I like to see good-looking girls given a chance to achieve their ultimate ambition in life. You, for example . . ." he turned to face her squarely, "seem to have the burning end laudable purpose of killing me off.
