T would have been much easier Jean reflected As she crouched in the Lee of the House waiting for the sight to go out in the Bath room if she had gone with the truck Driver. She would have been Safe from Lovar and his gang then. She supposed she was a terrible fool to come Here and literally put her head in the lion s Mouth again but it was the Only thing she could do and be honest with herself. Her own safety meant nothing if the gang should escape. They had to be of them. The Only Way she could be sure of it was to get into the House crawl into bed and act As though she had slept soundly throughout the night. If Ever Lovar or any them noticed that she was gone they would run away again and might never be caught. Nick she knew would have done As she was doing. Made sure of his Quarry even if it meant risking his life. She could do Little less for him and for her father. The arrest of Lovar and Guy and the others would completely end the espionage ring. She was Shi vering. Her feet were soaked. The Tennis shoes were a shapeless mess. She d have to Dis card them and take a Chance that Mario would t discover they were gone. She was glad she had stripped off her stockings before she started on her adventure. They were at least Safe and she would t have to account for a missing pair of Stock southward.

Then to be certain Jean waited another half hour crouching against the House getting As much shelter As she could from the storm. The wind had blown her Box far from the House and it took time to locate it. She finally got it into place climbed up pulled the swinging screen and cautiously raised the window. She quickly crawled through the window and pulled it shut. The wind howling through it. Might awaken Marie. She had to take the Chance that Marie was asleep. Locking the bathroom door. Jean stripped off the Raincoat and put it in the tub to Drain. Her hair was soaking wet. She was glad the room boasted a Small electric Heater Tor use on cold Days. So fluffing out her hair she dried it before the unit. Next she wiped the Raincoat care fully with Bathlo Wels getting it As dry As she could and then holding it before the Heater until All the moisture evaporated. The Tennis shoes she dropped out the window into the Sand. They were hopelessly ruined. If Marie discovered they were gone. Jean would have to deny she Ever had seen them. Perhaps Marie would t notice their absence. The matter of nailing the window was More difficult. When it was done she removed her clothes and Hung them up where the heat from the electrical unit could dry them As Well As possible. Her under things. She washed in Honor Nick would and be the held other officers by Speed regulations although it would be difficult driving through the storm. It seemed to the girl that it was abating somewhat now. The Roar ing outside did t seem nearly so there were still rain squalls loud. But they came in spurts not in a steady downpour. There was the Chance too that the storm might have knocked Down the Telephone wires. Maybe the Driver had t been Able to get an operator. This thought was so frightening. That Jean tried to forget it. Somehow her message had to get through to Nick. She Felt she had so strongly impressed on the husky truck Driver the importance of her message that he would make it his business to Sec it was delivered. She had got a glimpse of his big Power Ful jaw. A Man like that would t be stopped by a broken Telephone line. Somehow he d follow through. She knew she was merely whistling to keep up her courage endowing this casual stranger she had stopped on the Road in the midst of a storm with qualities she had no reason to believe he possessed.

The time had come when Sha must face the danger of going into the bedroom and taking the Chanca that Marie was wide awake and waiting for her. Lovar and Guy and Bulc might be there too. She could almost see the deadly coldness in Lovar s eyes As he pointed a gun at her. Jean retrieved her Nightgown from the top shelf of the Medicine Cabinet where she had hidden it before leaving the House and slipped it on. She glanced around the Bath room to be sure there were no Tell tale signs. Aside from the wet towels she could see nothing to give her away. They could always be explained or overlooked.

It must be an hour and a half she thought since she had left the big truck up on the Road. There was a Long stretch southward the Way the Driver was headed before he came to a town. Suppose something had happened to the truck they did break Down. Dozens of times driving along the main Highway she had seen these giants of the Road pulled off to one Side undergoing repairs. This would t be any night for a Driver to repair his vehicle if anything should go wrong. All he could do would be to sit in the cab. And wait until morning for someone to come along whom he could Send for help. But perhaps nothing had happened and he had reached the town by now.
