He step- ped inside the room, "Only when Miss Monroe leaves with me," he said and pushed the door shut be- hind him with hie foot. It• slanuned hard. And iu that ntoulcut, Dan made a swing for Joe's chin and they went down together, heavily, knocking over a small table and sending the things on top of it to the floor to scatter in all directions. Honey closed and locked the door then. She was seized with a violent panic as site heard blow after blow fall in the other room.. not knowing how the fight was going. She walked the floor, ringing her hands. Then quickly, she made a decision. She dropped the velvet box in her purse and went into the bathroom, but there was no way of escape there. She turned back. The bedroom windowopened onto a small balcony which looked down into a patio. She peered over the rail and discovered another bal- cony on the ground floor just be- low it, a natter of some eight or ten feet. "If I only had a rope," she whis- pered to herself, "or some*" In- stantly, she thought of a substitute for the desired rope. She took the sheets from tate bed and knotted them together, work- ing with quick, nimble fingers. She looped one end securely around the rail; then she climbed over the bid' cony and thanked her lucky stars that she had been brought up a "tomboy" and that she had lost none of her agility. She slid slow- ly and carefully down the sheets, t s « Escape was the only thought in her mind as she touched the ground and looked around. Joe's car was parked by the curb, the keys in the tock for he seldom bothered to take thein out, especially if he were in a hurry. She got into the car without hesitation and drone herself to town. She parked the coupe on :. side street where it could easily be found. A short distance from it, she picked up a taxi to take her to her own aaartment hotel. Honey dare not get into the elevator at that time of the morn - Mg and advertise the fact that she had gone out unseen after Dan had brought her home, and that she was just nowettia in, After all, she g P did think well of her reputation, even in this hour of utental sus- pense. So she tip -toed quietly through the lobby to the stairway. Hp three flights of stairs she ran. (Continued next week.) ciRs. S5WOR PUZZLE A('Rn4. 1. Piutnhiug 115 1 ,t ?.01,01. t, Dawn 4, hest 6.
