"If an actual clash has occurred," he advises, "It may help you both to separate for a short time, (to to quiet spots where you can think tilings out.

"Don't go where you will run Into temptation—an unscrupulous man or woman who wants to create a tri angle, or a mother who eggs on the conflict. Stay apart only long enough to regain poise.

CHAPTER IV—Continued For a moment she considered Tele phoning Dan McNamara, then decided the worthy fellow might prove an em harrassment. So she got a pistol from Ter bureau drawer—because she was a practical soul and dwelt alone. She had purchased the pistol as a precau tlon—and went to the door. She cocked the pistol, took a long breath, threw ■«pen the door suddenly and raised her weapon. "But 'em up," she commanded harshly. "Don't be silly, Lanny dear," a soft voice entreated her wearily. "It's only me." "Nancy Beiden— you little devil,'' Lanny almost shouted. "Come in hero this Instant." Nance Beiden reeled In and Lanny closed the door behind her, turned the bolt, switched on the hall light— and screamed. "Pipe down," Nance commanded, in that queer, faint, weary voice. "I'm not a corpse, but I'll tell the world 1 came mighty close to being one Just before lock-up time this afternoon, l.anny, dear, I crashed the gate." "Well, you'll crash out of here In a split second, you little hellion," Lanny :rled sharply. "Wet as a dishrag and pour hair like a witch's, and covered with blood. Where are you hurt?" "Bullet through my left arm, high op near the shoulder. That guard could shoot, and he did! If my boy friend hadn't shot back at him and made him hunt his hole I'd be flshbalt this minute." "You've got to get out of here, Nance," Lanny was terrified. "How many visitors have you had since you've been In San Quentin?" "Just you, Lenny." 'The authorities will look me up and They'll come here. Understand? They'll come here—there, they're on the tele phone now. Oh, my good lord, what have I done to deserve this?" She dashed Into her kitchen and cook down the telephone receiver. And tgain a masculine voice said: "Miss Rebecca Banning?" Lanny controlled herself. "Yes," she vald calmly. "Who's speaking?" "Dan McNamara." "Oh, heIJo, Dun. How are you?" "Fine, Lanny. How's yourself?" "Well, I might be dead for all the interest you've taken In me since you swallowed that good highball you grafted off me the day you came to Doctor Burt's office with that Nance Beiden girl." She added archly—"you egg !" Dun McNamara laughed. "Can 1 come out now?" "The very Idea. Of course not It's almost ten o'clock and I'm Just about to retire!" "This Is business, Lanny. I've got to see you at once." "I didn't know the police were alter me." "The police aren't, but the chief Is Lanny, that Nance Beiden escaped from San Quentin late this afternoon. She got to San Francisco all right. We know that because we found the speed boat she crossed the hay In tied up In the yacht harbor at the Marina. There was blood all over the cockpit and bul let holes In the hull." "All of which proves. Dan, that God's In his heaven and all's well with the Are you seriously trying to re world. cover the girl and send her back to the penitentiary?" "I'm not. I'd give two of my big buck teeth to see her make a clean get You know that. But the war It seems you visited away. den—naturally. Nance two weeks ago and smuggled a letter out for her and mailed It. "Dun, 1 give you my word of honor I neither mailed a letter for her nor passed It to somebody else to mall Nor did the girl discuss with me any plans for escape. If she had I would have told the warden, In order to pre vent her escape. It wouldn't have been kind not to do so. The girl Is mentally Irresponsible and It would have oc curred to me that. In any mad attempt to escape, a guard might shoot at her." "Well a guard did, and he hit her. too. But he didn't stop her. Her out side gang opened on him with a Tom my gun from a speedboat off the point, and made him hunt his hole, swam out to the boat under cover of their protective fire; they hauled her in and beat It forty-five miles an hour across San Bablo bay and headed up toward Carquinez straits, while day light lasted. After dark they doused their lights and sneaked back. The warden telephoned Central office here and gave the alarm. 1 wasn't on hand, but of course the captain on duty had the water front covered at once. He had two men at the St. Francis Yacht club and they saw a speed-boat aueak in and across the little harbor to a vacant berth on the Marina side. Be fore the cops could hurry across, the people In the boat Jumped out and to a waiting cur. The cops followed In police car as soon as they could, but one of Nance's friends riddled their front tires with machine gun bullets and the trail was lost." "How exciting, Dun !" "Yes, and It will be more exciting for you, Launy. I got home about two minutes ago and my phone was ring ing. It was central office trying to re port to me. They're Just starting couple of dicks out In a cruiser to watch and see If Nance tries to make your house. You're a trained nurse. The warden's found out that much matter of looking you up In the San Francisco directory. So he thinks that she'll head for your house to receive medical attention. She got hit, you know. And you must he a friend of hers—otherwise why did you call npon her?" "Dan," said Lanny desperately, "she's here now !" "Into your car with her. Lanny, and heat It out to my house with her." He gave her the address. "That's the last place on earth the devil himself would hunt for an escaped convict." "I've just heard a thump and a crash In my living room, Dan. I think she's fainted.

I can't leave here until I've mopped up any bloodstains she may have left on the sidewalk and my front steps. Good-by." Lanny was right. Nance Beiden lay on the floor of the living room In a faint She picked the girl up In her strong arms and carried her down a short flight of stairs that led from her kitchen to the garage below. She heaved her Into the car. ran back up stairs, got a wet mop, and by the light of the electric lamp over the front en trance searched for drops of blood. She found a few and followed them to the sidewalk, eradicating them with vigorous sweeps of the mop, then dashed back Into the house, Jammed on her hat and coat, ran outside again, threw open the garage door and backed her car out. She paused again, to shut It, then swung up the street ns the half-red lamps of a police cruising car turned the corner. She swung wide to give It a clear berth, turned the first corner and spurted. She followed a zig-zag course until she felt sure she had thrown the police car off her trail —provided they had become suspicious and started to follow her; she turned up a residence street that she felt reasonably certain would not he patrolled by traffic officers at that hour of the night, »nd sjteeded up. Dan McNamara was standing on the sidewalk In front of his house when she drew up. He reached Into her car. lifted Nance Beiden out and ran with her down an alley alongside the house to the basement entrance, which he kicked open. Lanny followed. Bp the stairs to the kitchen the big chief ran, through the kitchen and on to a rear bedroom. Lanny Jerked a small rug off the floor and threw It on the tied "l>et her bleed on that for a while," she commanded. "No sense In messing this nice clean bed all up. There must be blood In my car, Dan. Take a wet towel and go out and clean It thorough ly. please, while I'm undressing this poor lamb. Get me one of your wife's clean nightgowns." "Ain't got no wife, Lanny. Use one of mine." "Just as good ns any. Get it. Who lakes care of you here?" "My mother." "Can she be-trusted?" "I've sent her to the country for a month," he evaded. "I'm sleeping here and eating downtown. "God bless our home, Dan. Clear out—and watch for Stevie and tot him In." She ran to the kltcher. turned on the hot water and set an enameled skillet under the faucet ; then re turned, undressed the girl. In an ad joining bathroom she found clean towels and placed a cold one on her head. When she returned to the kitchen, the enameled skillet was sit ting In the midst of a cloud of steam, so she knew It had been thoroughly dis infected: she filled It with warm wa ter, carried It Into the room and with a wet towel mopped the tiro holes In Nance's arm and examined the wound. "Missed the bone," she decided. •'Bled like a stuck pig, of course, pleca of her dress probably carried Into the wound." In the medicine closet. Lanny dis covered a small bottle of Iodine. So she doused the wound with It, wrapped a cold towel around the girl's shoulder and tucked her Into bed. In the living room she found a brass box with cigarettes In It, so she lit one and sat down beside Nance, with her capable fingers on the girl's pulse. Evi dently the count was satisfactory, for l.anny scowled at the girl and growled: "You little devil! And T crashed the gate,' says she proudly. Well, If you aren't the little hell-bender! «You've got the nerve of a lion-tamer!" She found a comb and brush In Dan McNamara's bureau and combed and smoothed the dank, straggly black bob, and when that was done she unbent long enough to Implant a kiss on the white brow. "Boor lamb!" she mur mured. "Nobody's poor lost darling !" The girl's eyelids flickered. "Is that you, Lanny?" the girl mur mured faintly. "Yes, dearie. And you're all right, so don't worry. Nobody's going to take you back to San Quentin." "The cops chased us at the boat land ing, l.anny. Are you sure we shook them off?" "Of course you did—the big boobs! Now, listen, dearie. I'm going to tell you something, but don't let It disturb you. Take my word for It you're safe. Do you remember Dan McNamara, the chief of police?" "Of course. Old Daniel's my boy friend." "Well, you're In his bed. The cops were on your trail, dearie. They sus pected you might come to my house, so Dan tipped me off they were coming and to beat It with you out to his house." Terror shone In the girl's dark eyes. "I'd never trust a cop that far," she wailed. "Oh, Lanny, you've let him make a sucker out of you." She began to weep hysterically. "if you don't stop that," Lanny prom ised. "I'll bat you over the head with this skillet," and she picked that home ly utensil up and shook It at Nancet. "Dan McNamara's your friend." "Yes, and chief of police, too. Lanny, I'll die If they take me back. They'll put me in the dungeon—I'm afraid of the dark." "Shut up. You're wot afraid of any thing. You've got your little^red badge of courage, you scaramouche! You afraid? My foot! Didn't you crash the gate and swim for that speedboat un der fire?" "Machine-gun fire, aT that," Dan Me Namara supplemented, from the door way. "They opened on her and the boat from the towers." He came to the side of the bed and grinned down at the terrified girl. "Don't you worry, Nance. You're safe. I'm a cop, but I'm not without «orne sporting blood— your getaway earns three rousing cheers from old Dan McNamara." His big hand strayed over her face. "You're a good old hunk of cheese," she assured him. She turned her head toward Lanny. "Am 1 going to die, Lanny?" she asked. "Not unless I kill you—which I'm liable to do if you don't buck np and believe what I tell you. You've bees shot but it doesn't amount to much. You'll be all right in a week or two." "Then I'll be good, Lanny." The tired eyes closed and while Lannj stood by, wondering what to say next, Nanee sank Into a sleep of profound exhaustion. "Let her alone until Stevie comes," |,antiy suggested. "The wound has stopped bleeding. Come out Into the living room and If you're as crooked a cop as you ought to be you've got liquor In the house and I've got to have a drink of It." Her middle-aged face was very serious.

Maple sirup and maple sugar have always been favorite edibles and In gredients of cooking. With cool days our appetites demand richer foods. The most popular use of maple sirup, of course. Is with hot griddle cakes for breakfast. Maple sugar Is used In many home-made candy recipes. But there are many other Interest ing dishes which Include maple fla voring. A delicious variation from the usual style of baked apples Is to use maple sirup Instead of white sugar for the sweetening. Try this and see if It isn't delicious: Bare and core ns many apples ns will stand In an ordinary baking dish. 1 cup maple sugar H cup cold water 1 thin slice of butter for each apple Mix the water with the maple sirup and pour over the apples. Blace one of the lilts of butter over the top hole of each apple. While the slice 1s thin, the surface should be large enough to cover the open ing. Then ns the butter melts under the oven heat the rich liquid will drip down over the outside and the Inside of the apple. Baste the apples frequently with the sirup and water and bake until the apples are soft when pierced with a fork, but not so tender that they become shapeless. Serve hot or cold In the same dish. Or If preferred transfer the apples to Individual glass sauce dishes and pour over each apple some of the amber liquid. Apples baked in maple sirup have a peculiarly delicate quality. There Is no decided taste of the maple sirup, but the blending of the apple Juice and sweet sap supplies an un usually delicious and different flavor. The buttery surface of the apples will make them have a suggestion of brownness If the oven Is hot after the apples are left uncovered In the oven. ©. Bell Syndicate—WNU Servie«.
