For Sharon couldn't see why. A moment later it was all too plain.

Yawning not ten yards from where the car stood, lay a deep river canyon. A thousand feet below, a stream hurtled toward the ocean. "Get out!" Sharon opened the door, stepped away ftom the car. The motor was still running when Goodwin, too, stepped out from under the wheel. Then, Sharon's heart to her throat, he released the brake Gently at first, the car rolled toward the brink of that canyon.

Then gathering momentum, it moved faster--faster--disappeared with a crashing of underbrush. Moments later she heard the crash. Splintering echoes banged against the canyon wall opposite. Drawn to the cliff's edge almost as if: she were hypnotized, Sharon lo'oked down, saw the shiny fragments of what had once been a handsome car. Completely demolished! There was hardly enough left of it to supply evidence if had once been a car.

Horrified, Sharon turned to him. "Why did you do that?" "Destroy evidence in case my pursuers get this far," he said calmly. "Maybe I should have sent you with it." Sharon's blood drained from.her cheeks. "Maybe." "They'll-think we were both in it. And they'll waste some precious time climbing down that ravine to search for, our mangled bodies." He.

smiled confidently "You didn't really believe I could be caught, did you?" 1 "I think' you can--and will be caught," she replied with bold confidence that collapsed inside her. i eyes narrowed. 'Edda warned me that you were falling 'for-Tom Stafford. I should have listened to her--before it was too late." He moved closer, menacingly. "If I am caught-neither of us will be alive." "Even that would be preferable to your escaping," Sharon said bravely.

The only think she could hope for now was that the end would come quickly. Goodwin laughed, a horrible that scraped Sharon's nerves like sandpaper against satin. "Not desperate are you, Sharon?" he jeered, mocking her. "There was a time when a kiss from me would have thrilled you." True enough, Sharon agreed silently. Adroitly, she stepped out of reach.

"That was yesterday," she said coolly, and instinctively preparing for flight, she glanced behind her. That way, the deep ravine dropped preciptously. As she looked, her. glance snagged on a curve of road winding around the opposite wall of the canyon. Then her pulses raced.

A car was rounding that distant curve! It passed so rapidly she' couldn't be sure she'd actually seen it Then another! And a third! Was that-could it possibly be-Turning back to Goodwin, the ghastly pallor, of his face told her it was Tom--and plenty of help! But, and her hopes fell back little, they were still a long way off. had at least 2,000 feet to and innumerable chances to lose their way. Goodwin seemed to think that too. "This way," he growled and caught her arm. "Tell me what happened." The Countess-- or rather Edda Goodwin or Gottschalk or whatever her name was, Sharon remembered had exchanged her Goodwin's brief report of events confirmed Tom'i version to the last detail.

Confirmed, too, Sharon belief concerning her own mortal peril. Goodwin would not speak so glibly of his part in the treacherous betrayal of his country if he were not sure that Sharon would never be in a position to act as witness against him! The Countess, too. seemed to take that for granted. Right now. Sharon noticed, they spoke exactly as if she were not there.

"You were clever, darling, to have planned this way out in case something did misfire," Edda smiled "But how did you happen to bring Miss Doyle with you?" "Miss Doyle went over to the unfortunately, and their overestimated our credulity." Goodwin said, his masque of "charming cavalier" back in glace. Sharon's lips carted at the top- smooth perfection of his manners and remembered the moment an- the cabin when he had cursed her, knocked her to the floor. "No. really?" The Countess looked at her now, brows raised. "I found to bring her with- me." He laughed quietly, as if enjoying some private little joke.

Sharon, with defiance born of sheer desperation, let her own temper have rein. "He means that he would be behind bars at thia moment if he hadift been cowardly enough to use me as a shield for his own body!" "It doesn't sound" as if Mua Doyle is going to be a very pleasant house-guest, Edda dropped languidly into a deep chair. "Perhaps you had better show her to her room." "I'd be delighted." Goodwin smiled, crossed the room, opened small door. "Here you are, Mm Doyle. We hope you will be comfortable." Cell Hlde-Out recrossing the bridge, he A pushed her ahead of him, down the bank of the tiny mountain stream, along the stream bed.

At least a quarter of a mile from the road, now, Goodwin stopped, put two fingers to his lips and whistled softly. A moment later, like an echo, came an answering whistle. Amazed, Sharon saw then that the stream, fell down over rocks past a low, stone building. "Another--hideout!" ihe gasped, thinking aloud. Goodwin made the descent to the wide porch, pulling her after him.

"Not entirely," he said. "My summer home--under normal circumstances." "And--now?" "A comfortable retreat, shall we say?" He smiled sardonically. "It is so well concealed that even the most diligent would pass it by. I think we'll be comfortable here indefinitely. Par- ticuarly as our hostess has no doubt anticipated our arrival." Sharon stared at him.

"Hostess?" Goodwin nodded as the door opened. "The Countess, of course." Edda, as cool as if she were freeting them at the door of her an Francisco apartments, smiled. '-How unexpected a surprise, this is. Miss Doyle." Then, to Goodwin, "Something went wrong, did it?" "Plenty. Shall we go in." Furnished simply, but attractively, in 'wicker and soft greens, the cottage was a summer dream- house.

And so well concealed one 1 live here for weeks-- maybe--and never be discovered.
