SYNOPSIS B611 Orinort, risen from the ranks. of the heavr.oeig14 boxers through the encouragement of Ins fiances, Barbara Baxter, is cheated out of the championship and gives up the ring. He has a well-established • chain of tea-shops run by Barbara. Carlton, Herne, married to Pansy Pilkington, has a party at which a masked gang enter for nefarious • purposes. Bill. Rerne's friend, be- lieves the leader is Pairfam, his enem,y. Like a flash I shot out my arm and tore off his mask to look into a • twisting, familiar face. "OW" ,gasps Barbara and Pansy together. "Fairfax!" • "Well, I'll be aeon of a cannon!" I exclaimed, stepping up to him. "Where do you get this rough stuff, you maniac?" "As you see, I've taken your ad- vice and armed myself, Grimm!" be grates at me. "Now it's your move!" Raising 9216 fbst angrily, young Herne made a, quick step toward him, and Fairfax promptly leveled his gun at hin.” "Try It!" he hissed. "1 dare you! I, wish any one of you would attack me, particularly you; • Grimm, you ignorant lout. All 'snt is an excuse to kill you! What is it you were going to do when we met amsin?" "This!" I snapped, losing my head completely and crashing lirim •to the polished floor with a right hook to the button. The shrill screams of the frantic ladies was still in the air when Fairfax rolled over on the floor, took deliberate aim at me and fired point blank twice. I got it in the arra and shoulder. He was a bust as a sharpshooter like he was at ev- • erything else! The banging of Fairfax's g'wn do 1 want f Your life to begin with, and then rU attend. to. your , lady' love, your friend Herne and Pansy --the wild flower. eh?" "Don't be silly, Fairfax!" I saYli, stalling for time. "You got braiha enough to know that it you get me You'll go to the chair. Wbat fun is there in that? The percentage ain't there for you!" I was frantically thinking, "If can only get that gun away from him!" "I didn't come here to argue with. you, Grimm," he snarls. "1 came to kill you! You've beaten me be. fore, but here's one time I win!" With that he whipped up the gun, and pulled the trigger. I dove for- ward on the ground in the second that he took aim, and the bullet missed me a mile. Before he could set again I reached up with my one good arm, grabbed Ms ankle and threw him. The gun slithered out of his band and sskidded away along the dewey grass and then the ex- citement commenced! My useless arm and shoulder , made the muss pretty even, and Fairfax had maniacal strength which soon give me all I could do to cope with. He fought me like a enraged wildcat—with teeth and nails and vicious kicks in places which done me no good at ail. Nei- ther of us done no yelling—we needed what breath we had! The bandages had long ago come off my bum shoulder, which Fairfax twisted at every chance, and the gore from the open wound splatter- ed us both. His thumbs dug at my eyes, and I found trying to punch him and defend myself with one arm was a feat indeed! Rolling over and over on the wet sod, first one and then the other on top, I finally managed to hook him wickedly under the chin. He seem- ed to crumple up and fall away from me, and I got dizzily to my 3. "r: She come along with- me as my' was the signal for bedlam to break loose, and somebody put out the lights.

As I was still es weak as board- ing house coffee, Barbara wouldn't let me go down to our office or any- thing else, SO I decided to get to- gether at my health resort in Fair- fax Fells, and she come along with • me as my nurse. Our wedding date was only a month away, and, no kidding, I counted those days I like a raiser counts his dimes, If Jack Fairfax had croaked me be- fore rd had a chance to be Barba- ra's husband rd of come back from the grave and haunted that gil off the face of the earth! Well, one brats !richt mooxilicht nicht I couldn't seem to get any shut-eye—thinking too much, I guess—so I got up, throwed on a dressing gown and strolled around • the grounds In the mild summer • air.

There was mur- der in his crazy glare, and not only was I unarmed, but I was wound- ed!

I was a sight to behold and plenty weak! Leaning against a tree, I was ffghting for breath, when some- thing made me wheel around. I was just in time, for Fairfax was creeping toward me with an az in his hand! A workman had left it there, I'd noticed it before. and Fairfax had snatched it up. He let out a baffled howl when / ducked away from his first lunge and dodging backward I wildly, searched the grass with my eyes for that gun. It was a case of try and find it! Again this lunatic swung the ax, and it was very close. Then 1 heard a sudden cry behind me. Barbara was framed by the moonlight in the doorway of the house, where she'd run right from her bed when Fairfax's bellow had woke her up. In turning my head to look at her I tripped and fell over the stump of a tree, and in the same glance I saw Fairfax's gun in the grass at her feet. I scrambled madly to get up, but Fairfax was on top of me with one spring and a yell of crazy joy. I watched him raise the ax over me and his face looked like nothing human! The an went up over hit head and I gritted my teeth, won- dering what the angels really look- ed like. Then there was a short, sharp explosion, and the an drop- ped from Fairfax's hands right ha the 'midst of his murderous swing. It fell behind bite, and he fell on we, grabbing at his leg and Screaining. The quick thinking Barbara had snatched un the gun and fired, and on top of everything else I owed her I now owed her my Me! Butch, Izzy and the others came tumbling out half dressed and drag ged Fairfax off me. He wax raving and babbling like a baby. I told 'em to fix up his leg—it was drilled. clean through—and not to manhan- dle him, for the poor devil was out of hit mind. Butch ran to rouse up a doctor and somebody to take Fairfax in charge. Very white and very beautiful, with a bathrobe throwed over her nightgown. Bar* bars, turned to me. "Bill," she says, "eorae , inside! and let me bandage your arm." put the good arm around her and held her dose, "Hey. listen!" I says.
