Her eyee lighted with a smile. 'Without making a c.ia1nient she put her hand into her purse and airew out the small automatic. He was astonished, but his fingers dosed over it and het hand too. Forgetting to be wachful he ex- claimed: "Did I ever ell you, Judith Kingsley, that you are the most wonderful creature nn earth and the loveliest?" He snatched a kiss from the upturned face. She drew hack quickly, her heart racing and her eyes soft. "Tom," she murmured. A door suddenly opened and Karl came in, followed by some men. "Ready to talk, Burke?" de- manded Karl. Judith realized the men had been waiting for some sign that she was not astranger to Tons, and now his words hadgiveno themhew their cue.. They knew would' be willing to sell the plane's secrets to save her. In the end they probably would kill them both. She stared in mounting ter- ror at them. Mr. 4'Are you ready to talk, Burke?" Karl repeated. His voice was a bit high as if he were exasperated at having to ask his question again. 5 Burke's lean, suntanned face tali ao • hint of his thoughts, but Judith detected the stubborn set of his jaws. "I have nothing to say now, or at any other tinter" "No? Perhaps in a little while, stay friend. you will he glad to tell al I want to know." There was a savageness in Karl's eyes and his hands drew into tight fists at his side, "We have ways of mak- ing men talk." Karl glanced at his watch. Heavy, his eyes narrowed dand on watchful, focused a w un Judith and Tom. A swift urge came over Judith tit R to throw off her fear and break the awful silence in the room, Once again, her fighting spirit soared to her rescue. "I haven't 'tad anything to eat, yet," she said suddenly. The men were startled by the calmness of her tone. "You did promise rue fond." She tried her winsome smile, but it had no effect on Karl. Heavy's mouth rwistea at the corner with the beginning of a grin, but only for a moment. Then his face became the hard mask of a nioment� `� re. Judith A. mean standing spoke: "The dame is made of ice." She turned slowly and say: the span who had kidnapped ler in the taxi. Karl said curtly: "Bring in the tray of food," and the man back of her moved away to carry out the order. "You can take' his Off, too," Neel told her, and site removed Burke's bandage. After that, there was silence, except for the purring of the ene gine as they slipped through the. night. Judith wondered. where her detective body -guards could he, but surmised they were reepen- sible for their sudden, exit from the house. She dared not try to leek out the back of the car and all the other windows -were eltad- ed. Tom's fingers moved along hex, wrist, back and forth, searching for something, She realized in a moment what it was. Her watch. She wanted to tell him what she had done with it, but couldn't. She lay her other hand over his, Filially, the car turned toward the shore where Judith could hear the roar of the breakers, and stopped at s deserted docij. The men got out and motioned Judith and Tom from the car. Karl and one of the guards walked in front and Heavy carne behind them. Again Tom's hand found hers and their fingers twined tightly as they walked down the boards over the water. She wanted des- perately to whisper that she loved him and that all the things she had said when they parted -Ways were lies. 'ut then . . The pres- sure on her hand gripped haraer. Suddenly Tom plunged into the water, dragging her with him. They went under with a nighty splash and the cold Pacific was breath -taking, but only fol s sec- ond. She was an excellent stem - mer and with Tom's hand to guide her, they dived for the protection of the wharf. ( Continued Nert Week) Not once did Heavy relax his vigil with the gun. Burke kept his gaze fastened on Karl though Judith knew he was watching the other pian from the corner of his keen eyes. Tom had her gun and she knew he was waiting an op- portunity to use it. It would be suicide to try anything now. Her thoughts made her shiver. The blond spy with his close -cropped hair gave her a curious glance. "Cold?" Judith looked at him but did not offer to answer his question. Instead, she turned her blue eyes on Tom. 1 -le moved his steady gaze to her face for an instant. Tom still loved her, she realized, though no word passed between them: "Your nose is shiny," Tom said critically. • Judith's mouth fell. open and for a minute she had the triad de- sire to slap hien. Burning with anger, she turned her back on him and opened her purse, draw- ing out a vanity case. She applig:d the puff to her nose with More vigor than was necessary. "Better?" she asked acidly while the captors looked on slightly puz- zled at the act going on before them. He shrugged.

But she was hungry, even if this might be her last meal on earth. The thnught occurred that the food might• be poisoned, but she east it aside. It was not their time to die yet. Just as she finished her meal another man came in the room and whispered to Karl. excitedly. They spoke in a foreign language but Judith guessed from their manner that the matter wss ser- ious.
