AN INNER SANCTUM MYSTERY STARRING ARAB ANO ANDY BLAKE who features the STORY THUS FAR: Lt. Andy Blake and his wife Arab, believed that a German spy ring was working out of her boarding house. Andy had searched Jones house, nearby, and found some which evidence, he turned over to FBI. Later, Arab had told the girls that she had given evidence of loose talk to Andy and that he was keeping It in his home to deliver to Intelligence. Knowing they would be followed they went to Andys home, where they read and sorted out the Botes. They heard the window open and saw Renee climb in. She was overpowered and tied and taken down to the cellar for safekeeping. Both Andy and Arab were certain that Jones would soon follow. CHAPTER XI Not at alL If you have any little errands to do, feel free to go ahead with them. I watched her flounce around the cellar unfastening a clothesline. She dug Into a tool chest, found knife, and cut the clothesline Into lengths. She came back and began packaging Renees wrists with a skill. She had finished with the wrists, and started to pass the free end of the rope around Renees waist. And kindly move back, she said, jabbing her finger into my ribs. You neednt think Im going to tie her to you. Will it make you less playful if I remark that she probably has a few friends waiting outside for her? I was trying not to think of that Well, somebody better. She bent down, tied Renees ankles, and said, Bring her over to this straight chair. I lifted Renee, still keeping my hand over her mouth, and carried her to the chair. Arab used another length of rope to tie her to the chair, and it began to look as if Renee would be staying with us for a while. Now, Arab said to our package, 'will you be good if we dont gag Renee nodded, you? all right, Andy. You may have your hand back. Mrs. Fielding, if you scream Ill probably hit you with something. I took away my hand, and Renee said huskily, Why should I scream? When I do not come out, they will know something has happened. They will come after me. What does a half-homore or less matter? That burned me. I used to know a swell song,. I said. It was called the Marseillaise. Its funny, I never used to think it sounded like the Horst Wessel song. Are they both the same now? She looked at me with old, sleepless eyes. I have forgotten the tune. We of the New Europe have no songs. I used to know a swell guy, too. A big kid from Dartmouth, named Bob Fielding. He married the prettiest girl who ever walked into Zellis. He was killed in Spain. I thought he was filled fighting Germans. Everything, she said in a flat voice, gets killed fighting the Germans. My husband. France. Everything. This might be a good time to see how the Germans like being killed. For the moment there was a bite in her voice. What good is a dead German to me? Why should I help you? Where were you when Bob was killed in Spain? Where were you when France was strangled? Do Do you remember June of 1940? you remember Reynaud crying for American planes? For clouds of Where were American planes? they? On the drawing boards, I mutBut theyre coming now. tered. Now it is too late for me. I made my choice two years ago. And you chose the Germans. . How would you like to starve for four months? How would you like your parents threatened with the concentration camp if you didnt obey orders? How would you like to have lost all hope? They wanted me to work for them. I held out for almost five months. How long would you have, held out? The Germans canShe shivered. not be beaten. They would kill me. They would kill my people in Brittany. You know what all this excitement is about, dont you?" Yes. Landings in North Africa. Its the first step toward bringing France back to life. The Germans will kill your troops. "Has your gang got word out yet? Not yet. We did not see the pattern until today. It taks time to arrange to send a message. Either contact, or there must be a the message must be sent by short wave direct to Germany. Arab picked up the Smith & Wesson. "I want to make sure, she said. She crept up the steps and crouched at the locked cellar door. Then she turned and whispered down to me, "Get the derringer from my pocketbook. I went to the ping-pon- g table, dumped the sawed-of- f howitzer from her handbag, and picked it up beI tween thumb and forefinger. went back to the bottom of the cellar stairs to see what Arab wanted with the second gun. The stairway was empty. I went up the steps three at a time. Just as I reached the top a key clicked on the other side. The door was locked, and Arab had Arab- Dulled a fast one on me. at May W&m of Disordered Kidney Action All Over But DONT SUFFER Best uds Dont use too much soap. A suds about two inches thick has proven best for washing clothes clean. I whispered, "come back here! Youll spoil everything, she replied from the other side of the door. Somebody has to make a break for it And Im the one who can shoot. You idiot! Im going to kick this door down if you dont open it She blew a kiss at me through the keyhole, and said, The derringer has a stiff trigger action. Remember to point the open end away from you. Good-bdarling. Arab! You cant go! When I get hold of you . . . Arab! There was no answer. Something clicked upstairs. "Shut up, I whispered. The click might have been from the cellar doorknob. I watched it carefully. Another click. It was the knob, all right; I had seen it turn that time. Somebody had tried it first one way, then the other. I remembered that there was a keyhole and that the cellar was dimly lighted. I took a step toward the light bulb. Joey Raeders voice chanted jeer-inglFive-te- n Lieutenant Blake and Mrs. Fiel-dinI moved slightly to one side, out of line with the keyhole. We "Come on, Jack, he said. got you cold.

Td ask her to coax you, but we y, y, I kept quiet Nobody will have heard the There are no shots, he went on. houses within a mile. It is useless to expect help. Still silence. We will give you five minutes, he said.. I waited quietly and listened. Feet were pounding through the house. He wasnt really giving me five minutes, because it would take that long for his gang to search the place. When I was sure that nobody was trying to sneak down the cellar stairs, I whispered to Renee, Remember what I said about bullets not asking whose side youre on. Im going to fix your arm now. Its a splinter, a pretty big one. But I think itll come out cleanly. She choked back a cry. The splinter came out easily. It seemed to have nicked a vein, because her arm was getting wet and sticky. I whipped the handkerchief around the spot and began tying it. I dont know why you did all this for me, she murmured. You made too much noise. I kept losing count of the slugs going past.

You have been very generous to me. I will repay you some way. I grunted, and went on trying to get the handkerchief just tight enough. Her free hand touched my hair and stroked it. I could feel the tips of two of her fingers stroking my cheek and lingering at my right temple and suddenly I realized that she had the hatchet in her hand. I shuddered, started to turn. The edge of the hatchet drew a chilly line on my forehead, and she hissed, Hold still! I froze. The edge of the hatchet left my head but I knew it was poised there, inches away. I tried to guess where her right wrist was. When I grabbed, I had to connect. I am not going to hit you, she I just wanted to prove gashed. that I could have done it.

She was heeled with a Smith and Wesson and one of the boys didnt want to have any words with her about it. Look, Jack, are you gonna I yanked both triggers of the derringer and the explosion almost caved in my eardrums. My right arm jerked back, tingling. Two black holes sprouted in the cellar door and Joey began yelling that he was murdered. There was enough rage in his voice to tell me he wasnt really hurt and to warn me to get out of the way. I jumped aside just in time. Wood began spraying from door and stairs. Sound blasted into the cellar: tremendous stutters of sound that seemed to make the foundations sway. One bullet smashed the electric-ligh- t bulb. In the darkened cellar the air became a live vicious thing scorching my lungs and jabbing knives into my ears. Joey had turned loose a tommy gun. I started to dive into a corner . . . and Renee screamed. I had forgotten her. She was out in the middle of that traffic jam of bullets, tied in the chair. I made a drunken lunge across the black cellar. The timing was right. My shoulder hit her chair at seat level. I kept on driving low and hard at the chair until the opposite wall smacked me flat. For a moment I lay there, unable to think of anything except, that Roper would never have thrown me off the squad if Id played defensive end like that ' . Anything get you? I whispered. In my left Yes, she chattered. arm. Above the elbow. It feels like fire. Are they going to kill us? Are Take it easy. They cant hit us I ran my fingers lightly up here. her arm. A splinter quivered in the She flesh above her left elbow. Keep moaned, and I snapped, n quiet! They might try some stuff if they locate us. And dont forget that bullets dont ask who youre working for. I will be quiet." A harsh voice called down, "Lieuthree-cushio- tenant Blake. I put a hand over Renees mouth, and didnt answer. It sounded like Plain Mr. Jones. He called, There is no use hiding. It will merely delay events Come up the steps with your bands raised. Trust you about what? You have no chance fighting. They will merely come down with flashlights and shoot you. Your only chance is if they think you are dead. Give me the knife you were using. I got it and handed it to her. After all,' there wasnt much to lose. As she had said, she could easily have laid me out with the hatchet. Maybe this was a chance. She fumbled with my blouse and I felt her fingers tugging at the right breast pocket. She was using both hands and making small sobbing noises. The gash from her splinter must be hurting. Suddenly the knife blade touched the skin over my heart, and I jerked away. Please, she whimpered. I am trying to make it look like a bullet-hol- e. Please let me hurry. If they ever find me doing this . . She pulled me back closer, and I felt something pressing against my chest. It was her left arm. The handkerchief had been pulled down from the deep splinter cut. The last wisp of control snapped suddenly and she began to scream. screams. I Long, shuddering dropped to the floor. I had never felt sicker or more scared in my life but I had to go through with it A light fingered the cellar now. steps, probed toward us. I squeezed my eyelids shut and then remembered that dead men dont close their eyes and opened them and tried to roll the pupils up as far as possible. The light glared into them. Feet drummed on the stairs and the fat man yelled at Renee to shut up. She babbled, I fainted and then when I woke up and got my hands loose and I touched him and it was slippery and he didnt move and Crack! That was a hand slapping Renee. She began to sob convulsively. I could see vague forms rising up to giant heights beside me and I turned my pupils up still farther to show nothing but the whites of my eyes. I tried not to breathe. My stomach was solid lead and I could feel sweat chilling my face. Somebodys foot was touching my side. If he looked closely he would know that- dead men dont sweat. Joey Raeder said, Look here, chief! I got him right in the ticker and he had just enough left to crawl here and We will make sure, the harsh voice said, and then before I could move a parachute flare burst inside my head. It went drifting down and down and getting smaller and dimmer until it was merely a pinpoint of light and then it flickered out and there was nothing but a ringing blackness and then quiet Renee had done an artistic job on me in the dark. Over toy heart was a ragged tear. The cloth was darkened and wet and sticky. The button over the pocket wasnt bright gold. It was red. My fingers were red, too, and back where 1 had been lying the floor was splashed with blood. It looked as if I ought to find a spade and save somebody the trouble of burying me.
