CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

Mulrooney with the handcuffs

forward.
A square, white stone was flung
through the air—only it wasn’t a
stone—it was Lucky Cavanaugh’s
compact fist, heavy and swift. Its
full velocity smashed with a sharp
crack squarely upon the broadness
of Mulrooney’* chin. The whole
weight of Cavanaugh’s body was

upon her expensive carpet. It was

Then, suddenly, Mulrooney open-

It took him a few seconds longer
tq remember what had happened.
Without any assistance from Leni,
he got to his feet. At the knees,

“Tell me what yoq want to do
now," she said in a muffled voice,
devoid of fear.
Cavanaugh took one deep breath.
The same hand that had felled Mul-
rooney patted Leni consolingly on
the back.
"Take care ef him when he comes
to. Say as little as possible. Tell
him I went out the back way. And
don’t worry.”
Leni gave an understanding nod:

courage.

Mulrooney shook his head vigor-
ously to clear it and moved with
uncertain steps toward the door.
"Which way did he go?" he de-
manded.
The handcuffs lay forgotten on
the carpet.
Mulrooney stalked from the room,
baited, dazed, furious. Leni, shrug-
ging her shoulders, made no effort
to stop him. What was the good?

Mulrooney came back to her with
his dazed and troubled eyes. In a
minor way, she couldn’t help but
feel sorry for him.
“You better let me fix you some-
thing, really," she said, standing
aside to let him enter the house.
i He walked straight into the liv-
ing room without answering.* He
found Ms hat on a chair, and picked
up his glistening handcuffs. Leni
he warn brought to look at her.
“lt*s a shame,” he said in an
amazingly calm voice, “for yctar
sake, I mean. Too bai you’re in
love with that bird.” ' .
She was able, without effort, to
match his calmness.
“Qn the contrary, it’s the nicest
thing I can imagine,” she replied.
"Nobody can put the lug on me
like that and get away with. it,”
Mulrooney told her, stowing the
handcuffs away under his coat at
the rear. “We’ll get him within
twenty-four hours and heaven help
him then!”
There was im> use arguing with-
the man now. Whatever she would
ask him, would be more out of
curiosity than anything else.
“About myself—am I under ar-
rest? For complicity?"
"No—not yet anyway," said Mul-
rooney. “I’m going to get Cava-
naugh first.".
“I don’t believe I’d do that," re-
marked Leni quietly.
He ignored her words. “Where’s
your telephone?”

Leni’s shoulders in their doth of
