one.

She had come from behind a bush. She was tall, but the backlight from her flash had not disclosed much
about her face.

"Bill!" she gasped. "Bill, you canтАЩt do this!"

"Huh!" exploded Bill Browder.

The girl blazed her flashlight in their eyes.

"Go back!" she urged. "Give this thing up, Bill. YouтАЩve got to!"

"Great blazes!" said Bill Browder.

"Bill, youтАЩve got to stop," said the girl. "I donтАЩt know who this man with you is, but youтАЩre trying to get
him mixed up in things. You canтАЩt do that. This has got to end, I tell you!"

There was deep, almost tearful vehemence in her speech. Completely serious.

She made one more statement.

"This is the last chance IтАЩm giving you," she said. "YouтАЩd better stop, Bill, before it is too late."

Then she began backing away. She put her flashlight on her gun. While the weapon was in the light, she
cocked it, obviously so they would realize she meant business.

Her light went out. They could hear her running away.

Bill Browder let the air out of his lungs in a windy rush.

"Whew!"
he exclaimed.
"Who was she?" Doc Savage asked.
Browder snorted.

"I never saw that girl before in my life," he said. "IsnтАЩt that the strangest thing?"

Doc said, "She called you by name."

Browder gulped. "ThatтАЩs what makes it queer."

Doc said, "You stay here. Do not move from this spot, you understand."

Bill Browder grabbed Doc SavageтАЩs arm and snapped, "Here, here! You canтАЩtтАФ"

Doc Savage took Bill Browder by the neck, and they struggled for a while. Doc gradually worked his
fingers around to the young manтАЩs neck, and Browder, apparently realizing something drastic was about
to happen to him, struggled furiously. Doc located the nerve centers he was seeking, put pressure on
them and Browder became limp.
