CHAPTER XVI.

Millicent held her hand close to her side, hoping she had concealed the key container which was pressed against her robe.

"Will you learn to keep out of my- room!" she blazed with an indignation which did much to conceal her panic. "Is it going to be necessary for the to have a spring lock put on that dour, or must I appeal to your mother to force you to show at least ordinary decency and respect to a woman?"

He laughed and sald, "Oh, come off your high horse, You'd go down to a beach in a bathing suit with nothing more on than a bandana handkerchief, and..

"I'm going to ask you a few ques- tions first."

"I'm not going to talk with you "Did you know that there'd been a murder committed here last night 7" Millicent narrowed her eyer, stood very straight, vory erect and very digölfed.

"I am not going to let you get away with such an intrusion," she said, "hy making any startling statements, you told me the whole family had been murdered, I wouldn't let you dodge the question wo, were discus ning."

"What question?"

"Your right to come into my room! without knocking."

"I don't claim it's a right. I did it because it's a matter of an emer- gency."

"I tell you that I'm not going to allow you to distract my attention."

"You're suspected."

His eyes were boring steadily into hers. "The police," he said, "are go- ing to suspect you. They're going to suspect everyone. You're going to -bo-questioned-by-the-police. They're going to ask you who you are, where you've been living, how long you've been living there, and a hundred other things. What are you going to tell them?"

"What I'm going to tell them," he naid, my business."

"You don't dare to tell them the truth."

"Why not?"

"Because they'll know that you're the girl wanted for Dringold's mur-)

She faced him and said, "Eve heard Just about enough of that from you. You've apparently been giving your self a lot of pleasure doing a little amateur detective work. Personally, I think that's gone just about far! enough. Now get out of here."

"Listen." he told her. "I'm your! friend that is, I want to be your friend. but you and I need to comie to some understanding, You can't be high-hnt with me.

"I take it then that you're not pro- posing matrimony."

"Don't be silly."

"I'm not," she said, "and what's sore, I have no intention of being." "Someone." he told her, "atole my car last night."

"Indeed.

"They took the ignition keys from the car."

"Thon perhaps it wasn't the car they were stealing, but the keya."

"No, they stole the car.. It ran out of gas and whoever it was took the ear kept the koya,"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Calse, but I'm not Interested in you or your car."

"Well," he said, "a moment ngo you! were pulling something out of the pocket of your fur coat and .......

lie took a step toward her, reach- Ing out as though to pull her right | hand from her sldo,

Millicent thought rapidly. There| was only one thing to do. She did it with bewildering quickness. Hor left hand lashed out, striking him across the side of the face with a stinging slap. As he recoiled she alapped him again and Again. "Hel grabbed at her arm, and as he did no she took advantage of the oppor- tunity to toss the key container for into the Interior of the closet,

"Get out," she said, "or I'll scream."' He had caught her arm' now. His face was suffused with emotion. Damn you," he said, "I'll show you whether you can do that and get away

with it. Just who do you think you are, you little sho-doril?"

Ho twisted her arm until she half- creamed with pain.

"Now come up here," he said, “and give me a kiss."

*

Sho struggled to break free, and he gave her arm such a savage twist that it almost broke the bones. Despite herself, an involuntary sersam was wrung from her lips.

The dot from the ball crashed open. Norman Happ stood on the threshold..

He had no need to ask the meaning. of what was taking place. The post- tiana of the two people told him all too plainly: Millicent Graves, hor body twisted, trying to take as much strain as possible from her arm, while Robert Chise, standing over her gloatingly, his face flushed, WAS twisting the arm and deriving appar- ent pleasure from the torture.

"You dirty cad!" Norman Hapy said, striding across the room.

Cairo whirled to face him. "You keep out of this," he said. "You damned upstart!"

Norman Kapp placed his right hand on the shoulder of Calso's coat. His fingers gripped the cloth.

"Wait a minuto," Calse said, "be- fore you do anything rash. Soo what sho's got in her right hand and you

won't bo so chivalrous."

Caise had relaxed his grip some- what, and Millicent swung her right palm in a stap against the elde of his face,

"That's what I've got in my palmi, you beust!" she said.

Calso cursed, jumped back, letting go bla grip of her. He completely lost control of himself, and swung his fist at her chin.

Millicent flung up her hands, in- stinctively. The blow crashed through her guard, struck her on the side of the head. Then she heard the smack- ing Impact of bunched knuckles against bone, She opened her oyes and stared dazedly at Robert Chise staggering backwards, while Norman lopp, standing with his feet planted wide apart, his jaw thrust belliger- eatly forward, glowered at him.

"Get out of here!" Happ said. " Caise caught at the foot of the bed to keep his balance.

"I'll get out of here," he sold, "when he tells me to, and not before.

And if she tells me to, rhe knows what it's going to mean.

Milileent feit Norman Happ's eyes turn toward hers dubiously.

"Don't think she's one of these sweet, innocent little girls," Calag said. "She's got plenty to conceal. She

"Got out!" Happ said.

"Not until ale Lelis me to," Calse

said.

By way of answer, Millicent walked to the door, stood with her hand on the knob, and said, "Get out."

"All right," Caise anecred. "T!!" leave you with your little boy hero. You can gure out how much good It's going to do both of you."

"Trying to insinuate that you've Kot something on the girl?" "Happ asked.

"I've got plenty on her." Caine said, And when I leave here, I'm taking It with me."

"Tako this with you, too." Happ sald, and swung his right foot.

But Calse jumped into the hall- way ahead of the foot. Millicent Graves slammed the door shut, turned the key in the lock, turned to face Norman Happ.

"Thank you," she wild., "I—r—

"Han ho got something on you?" Norman Happ asked.

"Perhaps," she said.

"Something you'd be afraid to havo come out?"

"Can you tell me what it is?" he asked,

пол

"No," she said in a low, weak voler, "My father," he said, "told me to come to you. He couldn't get away. he's talking with the officers, Ho said to remember that you had come here from Seattle, that in Seattle you word working for an attorney named Irving Charles Bacheider."

She faced him and said, "But I wren't in Senttle

and I don't know any Irving Charlos, Bachelder."

Nevertheless, he said, "that's what my father says you are to tell the police. They'll ask you some- thing about where you've been.”

"But suppose they should wire Mr. Bachelder there is any such per- non?"

"My father," he said, “will take care of that. Please do just na ho says."

"But," she asked him, "should I le to the police?"

He looked at her for a moment. "You'd better do as Father says," ho told her. "Father nearly always right."

She wanted desperately to come to his arms, wanted to put her hands on his shoulders, wanted to lay her head on his chest and rob.

Something of what was in her mind must have shown in her eyes. He stepped toward her.

At that moment the door opened. Robert Caise aloud on the throghold. With him was a munn in plain clothes who, nevertheless, had the stamp of detective written an him, both in clothes and featuros.

"Is this the woman?" the man asked.

Robert Caine, staring defiantly at Millicent, sal in a loud, clear voice,

This, ofeer, is the woman."
