"I risked my neck gettin' the kid out•of danger for you, and you, ain't goin' to pay me back by refusin' my hospitality." "But I want to go," Mercedes re- peated anxiously as Buck tried to in- duce her to take a seat. • "Let's get down to cases," Buck an- swered her,. "There's no use beatin' roundthe bush.

I didn't bring your kid brother: here for nothin'," "Stop -stop, please," Mercedes beg- ged. Her nearness to hire drove Buck mad with desire. She was even more lovely than he had supposed.

"Yes, I'Il even marry you, if you'll emus with me," Buck replied. The girl before him shook her head hopelessly. The man must be "tad. "Well, what do you say?" he de- manded. "I say no!"

Whatelse you've focuid out, I, don't know, and i dan't care." He disproved this last statement by immediately asking: "Have you seen Acklin?" Mercedes caught a hint of uneasi- ness in his voice. "I have," she answered.' "Humph! . I suppose you told him all you know?" The big fellow's tones were threatening. • Mercedes saw her advantage.. "I tell him nothing!" she cried. "But I will if you do not give nie. Basilio and let me' take hinrhome." Buck reached out his long arms and caught her round the waist. Mer- cedes fought to get free, but he was too strong for her.

His gun was in his hand. A tightening of the lips and his aetonratio spat forth is deadly massage, He saw Merc,;des' gun flash, The report of it smothered his own. Only a split second of time, that words fail to express, had intervened between the two shots, So eros. had they been that neither the pis: nor Bodine in the next room :ealizecl two guns had spoken.

He raised his voice. "Give th:.5 kid's arm a twist or two." Then he continued to the girl: "I'll show you who's boss here." Shorty more than obeyed Buck's order. Basilio let out a succession of shrieks, as the brute twisted his arm until the tender bones were almost snapping. "Stop!" Mercedes cried so loudly that her voice carried to Kildare, who was still some distance down the road, "Stop!" she called out again. "Maybe you'll listen to reason now," Buck grumbled. He caught her by the wrist as he spoke and drew her closer to him. Mercedes beat his face with her free hand. But his jaw was impervious to her light blows. With feline fero- city she bared her nails then, and ripped his cheeks until they were smeared with blood. Bodine did not release her, howover. "You fightin' wildcat," he mumbled through gritted teeth. "I'll kiss you if it kills tee." Try as hard as she might, Mercedes could not hold him off. His cruel, sensuous mouth drew :'" se to her own. To add to her horror, Basilio shrieked again and again, She redoubled her efforts to get free. Bodine pinioned her arms against her hips. She felt something sharp ripping her sleeve. It was Buck's revol\ er. Automatic- ally her fingers closed upon it. With a wrench, she pulled it out of the holster. Bodine felt the gun -barrel boring into his stomach. His face grew white, "Get back!" Mercedes gasped. "En seguidal Al +,tom'ntol or you die here!" Buck backed away. He knew she meant what she said. His rifle stood in the corner. He retreated toward it. The way to the door between the two rooms was elm.' now, Mercedes ran to is and flung it open.

But if he saw the gi.l, he did not show it, His grip on the child dict not relax either, Mercedes cried out for him to let go of her brother; she raised, her gun to compel him, But fear such as she could never inspire' in him held Shorty in its grasp. He had caught sight of Blaze peering throrgh the open window, Mercedes saw only the man and child in front of her. Sho.,cy's rigidity turned with incredible swiftness to most violent . (tior. He dropped his arm and brought it up with a gun in his hand so qu' 'sly that it surpassed belief, But Kildare had been more rapid than he.

Bodine stared speechlessly at Ack- lin, Shorty's sudden death and Mer-. oede's maddening influence had de- stroyed Buck's boastful pose. He had been prepared earlier in the evening for the "advent of Morrow or some lesser light in the Double A constella- tion. But at no time had dreamed that Aciclin himself would come single- handed to beard him in his own den. The Big Boss walked across the kitchen to the doorway of the room in whieh Shorty; lay, As Buck recov- ered from the daze he was in, he fin- ally managed to articulate: "I ain't armed)" "Take yourhands clown then," Acklin snapped.

A naoventent near the window to which Mercedes had step- ped with Basilio stopped him in his tracks. His gun was in position as he wheeled, but he dropped it in con- sternation as he recognized the girl and child. Hatred flamed in Acklin's eyes.

That's what Imperial 011 Limited did -went an the way to tropical South America for the crude out of which to refine Marvelube. There's lots of crude oil available right at Canada's front door. If Canada's largest and most modern refineries had been able to evolve as good an oil as Marvelube from locally available crude they would have been glad to do so. I°ernsvian crude made a purer, carbon -free, fuller -bodied oil -sin oil that meant better lubrication -so Peruvian crude was decided upon.. The decision set a new standard in motor oils. Air- craft operators, the most particular buyers of oil, are enthusiastic about Marvelube because it has given thein a Ionger perio f operation between engine overhauls, and a greatei= airgin of safety. /You can enjoy the sante benefits hi your ear, and there is a grade of Marvelube that is refined to meet the exact requirements of your car.

Matching Aprons Women who do their own house- work whether of the kitchenette type or cn a larger scale are enthusiastic over a new dress•and•apron ensemble - which insures a delightfully trim and even smart appearance while engaged in one's.;home duties. The innovation consists of a matching apron which is rubberized and therefore easily cleaned with soap and water. This apron snaps into place on the dress• to which it belongs the attaching be- ing done in such a skillful way as to, be invisible.
