Arima hesitated, but the muzzle of
the revolver turned toward him, and
he came and stood a few feet away.
“There’s somethin’ mighty funny
about this,” continued the policeman.
‘‘We’ll just get into one of these cars
and go to the station.”
“This man and me?” asked Orme.
He had visions of no great difficulty
In satisfying the questions of the local
Justice, but he knew that an arrest
would mean delay, perheps of hours.
And Arima had the papers.
“I mean that man, and you, and the
woman. I’ll send some one for the
others. If you’re the fellow that did
the sluggin’ on the campus last night,
you won’t get away from me again.”
“What’s the use of dragging the
young lady into this?” demanded
Orme.
“None o’ your business.”
! "Can I speak to her a minute, first?”
1 "No, you can’t. There’s been too
many Chicago hold-up men around
here lately, and I won’t take chances
with you.” The policeman made this
explanation apparently in deference
to Grme’s appearance, which, in spite
of the evidence of struggle, was that
of a gentleman. “Looks don’t always
tell,” he continued.
That the girl should be taken to thej
station and held, under such suspicious]
circumstances was simply not- to bej
thought ot
Doubtless she could quickly set in,
motion forces that would liberate her,,
but the disgrace of detention was]
something she must be saved from at
any cost
She was known in Evanston. Herj
Identity once established, the story ufj
her arrest would be sure to spread.]
Her position would then be the more]
painful, because the circumstances of I
the case were such that she was un-i
willing to explain them.
Moreover, Orme realized that, if hej
and Arima were held, the care of thej
girl would be his first thought, and
the recovery of the papers would be’
forced into second place. That would i
not be according to her wish. As-j
suredly, if he was to get the papers,';
he could do better alone.
She sat in the car, not more than
six feet from him, her face the picture,
of mingled emotions. Orme saw that!
he must reassure her as to himself I
before he carried out the plan which;
had suddenly come to his mind. . !
“You will make a mistake, officer,.
If you detain me,” he said, speaking!
distinctly, so that the girl would be
Bure to hear.
“Cut it out,” said the policeman. ;
! "A little telephoning will set mej
free in an hour,” Orme continued,
bending to pick up his hat, which had,
fallen to the ground at the .beginning/
of; the ngnt. —r miupiire cto anymmg]
except take me to th| station and find)
out that you have ljungled.”
“That’s my affair,”! said the police-;
man. “But here, wefve done enough!
t3 Ikin’.” He waved his revolver in a|
gesture which indicated that they;
were to enter the car. ■
Now, Orme knew that the girl hadi
not seen him throw the papers to thej
road. Neither had she seen Arima;
pick them up. Whatever guess shej
had made as to his disposal of them,:
there was no reason for her to doubt
that he had again got them into his;
possession, during some stage of the
struggle.
He looked at her earnestly and sig-j
nificantly, then smiled slightly in the
thought of reassuring her.
When he was certain that she was
watching his every move, he glanced
at the car, then DP the road to the
north. Then, with such quickness
that the policeman had no time to pre-
vent, he snatched from the . inner
pocket of his coat the envelope con-
taining the blank contract which had
first disappointed Arima, and tossed
it into the tonneau.
“Go!” he shouted.
' Like a shot, she sent the car for*
ward. It disappeared swiftly into the
night.
Thus far, Orme was satisfied. He badj
got the girl safely away. She thought
that he had thrown the papers into
the car, and when she came to exam-
ine them she would be disappointed,
but Orme felt that she would then un-
derstand—that she would continue, to
trust him.
As the car darted away the police-j
man swung his club at Orme.
Before the blow _ could strike, the!
upraised arm was caught, by a little j
hand and with a quick jerk, the police-;
man was pulled to the ground. His
revolver, which he held in his left
hand, went off as he fell, and a leaf,
cut from a tree above by the bullet,
Bailed into Orme’s face.
The policeman lay helpless in thej
cunning hold of Maku—Maku, who,j
fully restored to his senses, had crept
up to save Arima from the law.
Orme wondered whether the girl
had heard the shot. Probably not, for
Ehe was driving into the wind. But
he had no time to consider the point,
for Arima, suddenly conscious of free-
dom, leaped for the remaining car. He
had the papers; he would hurry them
eafely to his master, leaving Orme and
the policeman to the mercies of his re-
viving confederates.
The papers were still first In hls|
thoughts. And why not? Orme re-j
membered the scathing rebuke by thej
Japanese minister. In the flash of)
thought that preceded his own action
he realized that the recovering of the;
papers was Arim&’s one means ofj
jjtektiasWmaalA
» a Arlfha grasped the steering wheel
erf the car and threw on the clutch,
Orme ran behind the tonneau. His
action was swiftly calculated to give
the impression that he was dodging
around the car in the hope of escaping
on foot.
That is what Arima might havei
thought, had he glanced around—what;
Maku might have thought, had he;
done more than throw one swift
glance at Arima, then devote himself
again to the prostrate officer.
But Orme, reaching upward, got his
hands over the high back of the ton-
neau. He hung on tightly, raising his]
feet from the ground. The carl
plunged forward.
For a time Orme merely kept his
position. The dust whirled up in his
face, and he had to close his eyes, hut
he was conscious that the car was]
gaining speed rapidly.
The situation was as difficult as it
was dangerous. He planned pothing
less than to climb into the car and
deal with Arima even while they were:
flying along the road. But he must
wait until they had gone a safe dis-
tance from the battleground. On the
other hand, he must act before they
got into the thickly settled streets of!
the town.
He figured that they had gone about
a quarter of a mile, when he began his;
effort. Pulling himself up by his
hands, he peered over the back of the.
tonneau. He could see Arima, hud*)
died forward over the steering-wheel,
doubtless watching the road ahead;
with a careful eye for obstacles and
for the police.
For Arima was driving the car at a|
law-breaking speed. Clearly, he was;
an adept at metering. But Orme did)
not stop to ask himself how a hum-
ble teacher of jiu-jitsu—a professional
Afima had' not remained on the
Sheridan road. He had taken a street
which struck off from it, more direct-
ly southward, and Orme surmised that
the intention was to avoid the main
streets of Evanston.
When the car came to a cross street j
and turned westward this surmise was i
strengthened. They bumped over rail- j
road tracks. Several times theyj
passed other vehicles.
Presently Orme raised his head and|
iiscovered that the houses were thin-l
aing out. The car appeared to bej
heading, straight into the open coun-!
try, ana Arima put on more sgeea.,
Forty miles an hour was not a high j
estimate for the rate at which they I
were traveling. - •
For several minutes Orme continued
Th his crouching position. The posi-
tions of the stars told him that they
were still going west—-not south to-
ward Chicago. Every turn of the
wheels, therefore, was carrying him
farther into unknown territory—farth-
er from the girl and all chance of com-i
in the air. Orme, still clinging Cd^j
Arima, shot forward. He was con-i
scious, in that fraction of a second,!
that he must release his hold, or Ar-|
ima’s neck would be broken; so he',
unbent his arm.
The earth arose and something
struck him heavily. He saw a firma-
ment of brilliant stars. Then all was
black.
CHAPTER XVII.
_
A Chance of the Game.
The first impression that came toi
Orme with returning consciousness
was one of impending disaster. His
; mind was renewing its last thought
before it had ceased to work,
i Then he realized that the disaster
had already occurred, and he moved
hi3 arms and legs, to see if they had
been injured. They gave him no
pain, and he raised himself to a sit*
j ting position.
The soft night hovered about him.
He heard confusedly the droning of
municating with her. Surely A- - ^ distant mournful call!
act soon, if he was to act at all; for| vu
Arima evidently was proceeding to
"We’ve Done Enough Talkin’.”
ithlete—had acquired so much skill in
the handling of a car.
It proved hard to get into the ton-|
aeau. Several times he got one leg;
ilmost over the back, only to be dis-
lodged as the ear bumped into a rut;
jr over a stone. Once he almost lost,
Ms grip entirely. But a final effort;
fave him a leg hold,, and slowly—very I
ilowly—he climbed over to the leath-
er cushions of the wide seat.
If Arima now turned and saw him,
idmost anything might happen. But
Defore he could become conscious thatj
inyone was near him, Orme was;
srouching in the tonneau.
The car was going at a 35 mile clip, j
The street lights were flashing by, and j
lot far ahead were the frequent lights
»f houses. Nothing could be done
Here; therefore Orme got down as low
is he could. He realized tp.at he
would have to wait till they had
.throMk tim. tQwo. ..
some rendezvous, where Orme might!
find himself again in the midst of anj
overwhelming number of enemies.
But what could he do? Rapidly he!
turned over in his mind the various,
courses open to him. Should he try
to stun Arima with a blow, and then
reach forward and take the steering
wheel before the car, could swerve
into the ditch? jf:-
The blow might not prove v ’’’ective.
In that case, the chances we\e that
Arima would involuntarily swing the
car to one side. Then there would
be a smash—with death or serious in-
jury threatening both Arima and him-
self. •
Should he try to cut a tire?
The feat was almost impossible. In
attempting it, he would run great risk
of premature discovery, and even if
he succeeded in the attempt, the situa-
tion would be little changed. The ne-
cessity of stopping the car to make
repairs might not put Arima In his
hands.
The plan he at last decided upon
was to throw his left arm around Ari-
ma’s neck and draw him straight back,
trusting that he might be able to get
over the seat and set the brakes with-
out losing his grip. The throat of the
jiu-jitsu adept is tough, made so by
patient development of neck muscles,;
but Orme had a strong arm, and hej
believed, moreover, that Arima would;
not have time to protect himself by;
stiffening his muscles before the grip;
was secured. _
The caf was skimming along over
the turnpike like some flying bird of
night. Orme gianced back over the
way they had come. A soft electric
glow in the sky told where Evanston
lay, several miles to the east. Far
to the south a greater glow showed
the position of Chicago.
Pulling himself erect, Orme leaned
forward. It seemed as though Arima
must hear him breathe. Slowly he
advanced his arm. Then, darting
swiftly, he threw it around Arima’s
neck and drew backwards with a jerk.
The Japanese was taken completely
unawares. Uttering a strangled
cry, he let go of the steering
wheel and clutched at the choking
arm that held him; he could not break
; the grip.
j Meanwhile Orme reached for the
steering wheel with his free arm. But
Arima, kicking frantically, struck the
wheel with his foot, just as Orme was
about to seize it. The car turned
sharply to one side. Into the ditch
it plunged.
As the fore wheels dropped into tho
! depression. .tha.hodv of..the. ear.
of a whip-poor-will. The roar of Thaf
car was strangely missing. What had!
become of it? And where was Arima?]
These were the first question ho<{
asked himself as he became able to
think without confusion.
He now became aware that his head
hurt, and rasing his hand, he found
a large bump under the hair above
his right temple. Turning, he discov-
ered that he had been thrown over the
fence into a field of thick-standing
grain, which had broken his fall. His
head must have struck the fence in
passing.
He got to his feet. At first he was
bothered by dizziness, but that soon
disappeared.
Climbing the fence, he saw that the
car had turned over on one side. At
a glance there were no evidences of
superficial damage, but it would tako
a team of horses and some time to
right it and get it hack into the road.
The lamps had been extinguished.
In the ditch near the car lay Arima.
One of his legs was bent under him
horribly. Orme hurried over to him.
The. Japanese was capacious. His
beady eyes glittered wetly in the star-
light, but he said no word, gave no
groan, made no show of pain. What-
ever he may have suffered, he en-^
dured with the stoicism that is tra-
ditional in his race.
"Much hurt?" asked Orme, bend-
ing over him.
. “My leg is broke.” Arima spoke un-
emotionally.
Orme considered. "I’ll send you
help,” he said, at last "Lie quiet for
a little while, and you will be looked
ajter.”
