He didn't speak a word of English." Paul smiled. "He's played his part well. But, he is a government agent just as I am." Joan was as surprised as Thomas. She remembered the night Paul went to the radio room, not heeding a warning from Thomas, but she had not thought about the incident since. "From the papers I obtained on the ship," Paul continued, "I guessed where this hideout was. I told Jim that's the radio man's name to send a message for help stating our location here. I had to guess the time element how long we would be in Mazatlan and when we would arrive here. So the message didn't go out until today." "Then they'll send someone after us?" Thomas asked eagerly. "Yes. But help can't possibly come before tomorrow." "Why did you tell him not to send the message until today?" Joan inquired. "There was no use of their arriving before we did. In that case Karl and Mulford would not have been here either." "But we're safe," Thomas insisted. "If help is coming, there's nothing more to worry about." "It isn't as simple as that," Paul said. "Karl may have been suspicious of Jim, in which case that message did not get through. Even if it did, we must stall until tomorrow. There is still time for Mulford and Karl to close up this place and escape, or worse than that, take us with them." "So now we must wait again," Joan said. "If things look too bad," Paul told them seriously, "I'll have to make Karl think I am accepting his proposition to turn traitor. That will hold him for awhile." "But if help didn't come, how would you get out of it?" "That's something I'd rather not think about! The important thing is to get through this day." But the day passed peacefully enough. Lunch and dinner had been brought, and now fresh logs were heaped upon the fire as the long shadows of night fell. . "If this goes on until tomorrow, we'll be safe," Paul commented. But Karl Miller had no intention of letting ii go on until tomorrow. It was shortly after eight o'clock when he arrived for his answer. "You have been thinking over my proposal?" he asked Paul. "I've been thinking about it, yes." Karl rubbed his hands together. "Good. Then I suppose you are willing to come in with us." "I haven't decided yet." Joan and Thomas watched him, knowing that upon this interview depended their safety. Karl's attitude changed immediately. "I've had enough of this! Make up your mind right now. There are important things to be done. We will not waste any more time, Mr. O'Malley." "Suppose I do join you?" Paul parried. "Will you assure mo of pen to Sybil," said Joan. "How do you think I feel?" Paul answered. His face was grim. "Oh, darling, don't blame yourself," Joan comforted, taking his hand. "We'll think of some way out." "Karl's clever," Thomas remind- ed them. "He always wins in the end." "But he can't go on like this," Joan Insisted. "As Paul has told us, even Karl must make a mistake sooner or later." "Why don't you do it Karl's way, O'Malley?" Thomas urged "After all, what else can you do?" For a moment Paul looked as though he would strike him and then, sinking into a chair, he groaned. "There are some things you don't understand." "I understand!" Joan cried. "You mustn't consider me, Paul. You must do what you feel is right. I became involved with Karl through my own volition. It was no fault of yours. And I don't want you to feel responsible." "But I love you," Paul said quietly. "You do believe that, don't Mr. you?" "Of course I do, darling." Thomas retired to one of the bedrooms so that they were alone now, "I didn't expect Karl to arrive so soon," Paul said. "Ive got to play for more time. If I can do that without making Mulford suspicious, my plans may come out all right." "All right? Oh, Paul, then you do have a plan?" "Of course I have, honey. You don't think I'd walk into a trap like this without planning some way out of it, do you?" "Then what are you worrying about?" "It's the time element," Paul explained. "By the way, how did Karl get here anyway?" Joan asked curiously. "Probably landed up the coast and flew." "I have a hunch everything's going to be all right," Joan comforted, and Paul, kissing her tenderly, wondered at the supreme confidence of a woman in love. It was true he had made arrangements before he left the ship for a message to get through to his superiors, but Joan knew nothing about that The message would not be received until tomorrow, which meant that help could not come until the following day. How long could he stall Karl and Mulford? If they suspected anything, they would make him pay through Joan, his only vulnerable point. "She's so brave," he thought, holding her close. But she didn't realize the horrors that might be in store for her. She had a childish faith in him that wrung his heart. What if he should fail her after all? What if the message didn't get through? "If flying conditions were bad, that would mean another delay. And each moment she was in danger she and Sybil. Even Thomas would pay if his plan went wrong. Three lives depended upon his judg- ment. are you thinking about, darling?" Joan asked. Holding her closer, as though she were something very precious, Paul replied, "I was thinking that I love "What be- The next day dawned bright and cold. Joan, Paul and Thomas waited in the living room. Paul was staring out at the other house. "I'd like to know what's going on over there," he said. "Probably just as well you don't know," Thomas told him as he spread out a deck of soiled cards on the table. Joan went to Paul's side, said, VDon't worry, darling. You said last night that you had a plan." The cards fell from Thomas' hands. "A plan? Why didn't you tell me? What is it7" Paul frowned and Joan knew that he had not intended to tell Thomas, "I'm sorry," she said. "It doesn't matter. He may as well know.

But if you want her sent back to San Francisco, you are asking the impossible for obvious reasons. You are not buying Joan's release; you are merely saving her from Paul silently clenched his hands. "Let us stop stalling," Karl said 'In a few simple impatiently. words, this is the situation. If you do not give us your assistance and the information you have about your government's activities, Joan and Sybil, too, will be taken to the coast tonight and put aboard a ship for another country. Is my meaning ..." clear?" "All too clear," Paul said. "You leave me no choice but to accept." Karl bowed slightly. "Congratu lations! You have courage, Mr. O'Malley, and sense enough to know when you are beaten." Paul's face was expressionless as he said, "One thing I must be sure of and that is Sybil's immediate release." Karl laughed. "That is quite sim ple. She is waiting on the porch now. You see, I anticipated your decision. "Syb!" Joan cried as the door opened to admit her cister. Laughing and crying, they were in each other's arms. Joan did not even see Karl and Paul leave. Thomas was listening as intently as if it were his personal concern. and Joan felt sorry for him. He had nothing, nobody, to care about. "Pop, what is a hardy rosebush?"

Thomas told how he had come OLD MODEL from Germany and obtained a job, to for to send save hoping enough his wife. How Karl had put an end to his hopes by telling him that she would be put into a concentration camp. Thomas was sure now that his wife had died. As he talked, Joan was surprised to note that he was a man of more intelligence and education than she had thought. Before Karl Miller had broken his spirit, Thomas undoubtedly was a different person. He was an example of the havoc Karl had wrought in the human soul. Could he con tinue to dominate and destroy the lives of others? Tomorrow that ques-tiomight be answered. 0 0 f LIMITED TIME AT 1 TOILET GOODS 'OS.

Plutarch. a 0 Joan and Sybil continued talking long after they had gone to bed They could hear Thomas' shuffling about the living room, apparently too restless to sleep. "He's really pathetic," Sybil said, "Karl has made him that way. Oh, Syb, when I think what a fool I made of myself over Karl Miller! How could I have been so dumb?" "You were just inexperienced," Sybil said. "And now that you love Paul, you mustn't think about the past. Joan wondered what Karl and Paul were doing. What was happening in that other house? "I wonder if he's all right now," she said un easily. "He can tell Karl almost anything tonight. Karl won t have a chance to find out before help comes wheth er it's true or not. And tomorrow we should be out of here." But Joan's uneasy feeling prevailed long after she heard Sybil's regular breathing at her side. Mov ing cautiously so as not to disturb her sister, she slipped into her coat and went into the living room. "So you can't sleep either," Thomas said. "No. I wish I knew what was going on. I'm so worried about Paul. Karl might do anything if his suspicions are aroused. Suddenly there was a sound. "What's that?" Joan cried, step ping back. Thomas stood motionless, listening. The sound came again, fol lowed by a soft clicking noise at the door. Joan extinguished the light The door slowly opened and a figure entered. "Paul!" Joan said in a tone whis per, reaching for the light switch. "Don't turn on the lights!" Paul commanded. His flashlight broke through the shadowy night. "Well, they've come! Sooner than I expected, but I think we can make it." "You mean help has come! But where?" Joan cried in amazement. "A plane, several miles from here Now listen to me very carefully. I want you to go out through the bedroom window and straight down the road to the gate. There's noth ing to be afraid of. All the guards are out of the way. I'll meet you at tne gate." "You're not going back to that other house now?" Joan asked. "I've got to, honey! There are some papers I want to get." "But Karl and Mr. Mulford will hear you!" "Karl and Mulford are out like' a light," Paul said. "I put a couple oi sleeping powders in their drinks, They won't come to for awhile!" As Paul slipped noiselessly back to the other house, Joan went into the bedroom to rouse Sybil. The small house was directly behind the larger one and no one could see the three figures as thev went down the road. Paul was wait ing. There were two other men with him. "This way," he said, taking the girls by the arm and leading them to an automooue. (TO BE CONTINUED) "I suppose that girl stays in the water all the time, so that the men will think she's athletic."
