"Just S."
"Ah! That leaves us amplo chance to
get the 6 o'clock train then," said-Graf-ton.
"We'll make Kenyonvllle by mid
night. Where do 'you suppose Brady
,and his brother crooks nre operating?"
"On tho papers?"
"Yes." i
"At Brady's office, I think. I know
that Carvel has beea. there several
times, and from what they said I be
lieve the work will be done there."
"Have you told Burleigh about this
business, Jennlson?"
"No, sir, I hdd no more than time to
catch thd train that brought me to Chi
cago." "Um too bad. e should have known
It. However, we can wire him at the
depot, and he can at least watch the
crowd until we nrrl c." Orafton regard
ed the other very thoughtfully (or a
few socqnds.'. "you're' sure that you
have' told me .all there Is to tell, are
you?" -
"I have given you the full account ot
the business. Oh! I don't blame jou
for doubting me, Mr. Orafton, but you'll
find that I hve been honest In this, at
least."
'Perhaps a stronger man than ou
would tiave succumbed tu the tempta
tion, Jennlson. You gave no hint to
Colson, or Brady of your Intention?"
"Certainly not."
"But they'll remark your absence, and
perhaps guess at Its cause. Well I
don't'know Just what harm It will do
now. The papers can hardly yet have
been- doctored, and before banking
hours -wo shall again be In Kenyoyvllle
If all 'goes well. I, hope you've got
money for traveling expenses, Jennl
aon." He laughed shortly. "I Invested
In this, revolver, you know, and -It cost
me JISO." .......
OraXton arose and looked about. One
er two of the police were In the (ore
part of the place. He walked in to
them, to learn what had been accom
plished. wa ,. m-n ha,1 been raucht: ecn

it mtitrni vr little to Orafton. He
was alive and free again; he knew the
full story of the plot against him: he
had still time to frustrate It If nothing
went amis. Later on, perhaps, when
time-did not-preee. he would return and
identify some ot me crown inn. mb"
bn connected with his Imprisonment.
For the? moment his sole desire Was to
return to Kenyonvllle. '
With Jennlson on one side and an
officer on. the other, he left the house
and struck out rapidly for the depot.
In ten minutes he stood upon his meet
ing ground with conon. .
Half aft hour remained before train
time. Grafton secured a handful of
teletram blanks and sat down to the
task of advising Burleigh as to the- situ
ation. When he had reached the end
of bis HDtfrevlated message Jennlson
was waiting with the tickets. The chief
clerk's face was white and weary, but
there wag a quality of hippy relief upon
ii wmen prompiea.uraiion to stop.
"Jennlsori," lib said, "I may be fool'
lsh. but I'm Kolnr to make you a dtodo
tltlon. If you like, you may come back
with me, "remain In the office and see
the thlnff-thi-ouch. . If T decldn to nrose-

Or, If you like, you may stay hero and
go to work, and I shall not trv to find

pernnps ocuer in a gooa many wajs,
Which Is to to be?"
"I'm, going back with you, Sir, Graf
ton." Grafton smiled suddenly.
"All right, Jennlson. Come along."
CHAPTER XX.
Back to Kenyonvllle.
NIOHT closed in and the train
roared along toward Kenjon
vllle. . ar5.fton na Jennlson talked
out little. The latter sat. half dozlrt?,
and spoke only when Orafton addressed
him. That was rarely, for Orafton had
much to occupy his mind.
To all appearances, the end of his
chase waa ln sight, and a remarkable
chase It had been!
Was the trouble really not yet made?
He i turned to the chief clerk.
"flee here, Jennlson!"
"Yes, sir."
"Tou are sure that none of the forg
In has been done? '
"To the best of my knowledge, they
had no Intention of going to work on
the papers urlttl late tonight."
"I wonder why7"
"The man Carvel suggested that. He
satd'that so long as the papers were to
be shown tomorrow afternoon dnd were
supposed to be signed at noon, the Ink
should be as fresh as possible." '
"Ahi" Orafton's eyebrows went up.
"I'd forgotten that. Jennlson. Your
forger has a good head."
"He is an expert, according to Col
son." "And that Is the same Colson who
has hnd such n good reputation in Ken
jonvllte this past few years?"

Jennlson nodded silently.
"Do you know the details of 'the
crooked work that has been going on?"
"Only that Brady and Colson have
been making about 50 per cent on all
the work that haa been done and ar
ranging; It so that they boast about de
tection being impossible."
"Pleasant!" Orafton sat back again.
The hour rolled on slowly: the train
rumbled ahead with Its monotonous
clatter. At 11 they drew up at Haatlngs,
and Orafton smiled. Just one hour
more. Just sixty more' minutes, ana ne
would be within reaching; distance ot
the whole choice cfew.
Toward the end ot that hour he could
hardly keep his chair. Had It been poe
alhln hn would nlmoat have tried brib
ing the .engine crew to greater speed:
over aavuiiu wccuicu uikhqh wu- iw
twenty times It usual length. They
stopped for water, and Orafton drummed
with his foot, watched the sleepy pas
sengers, and swore under his breath
until they were under waygjgaln.
But at last the first straggling lights
of Kenyonvllle appeared, grew rnore nu
merous, and finally merged' Into the un
broken lines of eteet lamps .that Oraf
ton knew so well. , 4Ie leaped' from hi
rhalr and walked to the door, with
Jenntlon close behind.
As the train drew up, he was upon
tho step, and before It reached a stand
still he had Jumped to the platform.
A ngure ran out 01 me snanuw 01 ins
station roof and hurried across to him.
ararton held out a nana.
"Burleigh!"
"Well. Mr, Grafton!"
"Back again and alive, although, at
one tlmo the prospect for that aian t
seem over-bright, I must say."
"Ah! and you brought back Mr, Jen
nlson, did you?"
"Yes. he decided to come and see the
end of the game. Burleigh," said Oraf
ton, easily. "You reocrved my wire, of
course?"
"At about 7, sir, l was never morn
amazed In all my life!"
"That'a nnt hard to believe."
"And Colson really took jou to tho
place and managed to drug you, sir, is
you said?" pursued the detective, In a
tow tone.
"Just exactly."
"Well, It's tho most daring thing; In
all my experience, sir. I've seen tough
cases, but .never the like of this." i
J'l hope you'll see no more of the Ilka
In which I'm concerned," said Orafton
"Well, what has been doner
"All fhnt wna nnaalhle. air.'
You have not given either Brady or
Colson reason to tninK tnai tney are Be

"But you've had them watched. Just
the same?"
"Every minute, sir. One man wa
after Brady, another was keeping track;
of the trains, so mat I knew, when Col
son arrived thlr-mornlng, at aoqui v."
"Good! the other fellow whom I liae
had on the case was watcning jenni
son." Burleigh lowered his voice.
Grafton followed his example.
Tinn1ann. eh?"
"Yes. Ho was the best man ot the
three, too."
.rin TnnUAn ahnnk him?"
"lie did nothing of the sort," chuckled
Burleigh. lie returned on tne same
train with you. He left the smoker
Just as we were shaking hands, and
went on home."
"But was Jennlson followed to Chi
cago?" "To the very door of the place where
hn vent with the Dollce.' said the de
tective. "I waited an hour or two for
further details, and I may say. Mr.
nmfton. that I was on the point of
starting for- Chicago mynelf when your
message came. A few minutes later my
man's second wire arrived, and I knew'
that vou were loosn again and safe,"
Orafton shook his liead-wlth admira
tion that was past bewilderment. -,
"By Jove. Burlelghl I never had much
to do with detective work before, but in
the future vou can have my business."
The detective laughed softly.
"However. Mr. Orafton, you are here,
and that's tiro greatest consideration.
Now for -the rest of the crowd."
"Sure enough. You know where they
' had mv man on the telephone not
fifteen minutes before you got ln, Mr.
Orafton."
"Weil7"
"The fellow vou call Carvel appeared
with Bradv today for the first time, and
he puzxled me very much at first.
They've been together since morning,
and the pair of tlwm spent the after
noon with Colson. At thev went to
the Grande, as bold as Sou please, and
had dinner."
"Yes."
"They stayed there for a couple of
hours, then came out and separated. I
suppose that that was In event of their
being watthed. ' Well, sir, 'one of my fel
lows went after Brady apd the other
after Colson. They Just wandered
around town for a couple of hours, and1
then Brady steered for his office!"
"Just as Jennlson e;xpectedl"
"Yes:' Bra"dy got "there first. Next
came Colson, about 10:30. They had,
been together about nrtetn minutes
when along comes our Mr. Carvel, -as
you call him."
'And they are there now?"
"They were about twenty minutes
a no."
A hard smile appeared on Grafton's
lips.
"Come along, then, Burleigh. We'll
Interview them, and the quicker the bet
ter." "You don't want to get one of the
Judges out of bed and have him Issue
warranter'
'I don't think so." Grafton rubbed
his chin. "What I want Is that bundle
nf notes. As for giving them what they
deserve I don't know. It, means sev
eral things that do not appear on the
surface. Burleigh. For one thing a
trial of the crowd would proclaim me
In some ways tho biggest Idiot that

benefit me to any extent that I can see
at present. However, that is for time
and circumstances to decide. We'll talk
with them first. I think."
Orafton motioned Jennlson, standing
apart, and he Joined the pair. They
walked through tho depot and stepped
aboard the waiting car outside. The
ride wag short. Before many minutes
they stepped down, outside the building
where Brady' offta were loeatofl.
Burleigh looked about, and from
within the glass storm-doois a man
emerged one ot his detDbtlves. He
carrm briskly to Burleigh' side.
"Well?"
"They aro up thero'yet."
"Hure?" '
'le been urf twice by way of the
statrt."
"Anything unusual going on?"
'Only, that two pretty tough-looking
cltliena hava arrived since l had you on
the 'phone,
"And what la that for. T wonder?"
"They're standing- guard In the hall
way, 'outside Brady's door,"
. "You idon't say so!" muttered Bur
leigh. ''Looks as If they were taking
all possible precaution. ehT" i
"And I made a trln up the (Ire es
cape, lon 'the -other side of the court, as
well, about ten minute ago. I thought
It was worth risking, sir.''
"And wa It?"
"That smooth-shaven fellow Is sitting;
at the table with a green shade over
his eyas and a quantity of paper be
fore him."
"I he, really? They're down to busi
ness, I Imagine. Come along, sir,"
He turned to Orafton as he opened
the door. Jennlson followed, his teeth
set and his face very white and Graf
ton's opinion of the remorso received
further confirmation. Burleigh beckoned
his detective.
"Ton may as well come, too, Joe.
You're likely to be needed.'.'
As quietly as possible they paaecd Into
the silent building and began the climb.
Each of the four was breathing a little
more rapldlv than uaual.
Tho end of the complicated business
was at hand. Between them they would
have to cope with five men of falrlv
proven desperat character. Would
matters end In a fight and If thev did.
where would the fight end? Would one
or another of the crowd slln through
with the notes? They would be very
nearly Useless, but their absence might
mean much In the way of lost evidence,
"Keep together," Burleigh whlapered,
suddenly, "If they go to work to mix
things up. seo that none of them get
clear. We'll mass around that door as
qulcklv as possible, and once we'ro
there hang; tight together and block the
way."
The rest nodded, and the climb went
on.
And then their heads appeared above
the floor, and they saw the two men
whom the detective had mentioned.
Their faces were startled, and with a
common Impulse thev turned from their
slow, tramn and broke for the door of
Brady's office.

Heart to Heart
Talks
BY THE EDITOR OF THE CAVALIER
NOT a a prisoner, but as a spectator, I onee visited court
room in New York where a belligerent vub bclnjr tried for
disorderly conduct. Amonrj other things, he climbed four
lamp-post in fifteen minutes and tried to eat the Welsbadt banter.
Hl attorney, something of an adept at theatrical, had the four chil
dren and the weeping wife of his client In the courtroom. He made
very noble speech to the court in which he touched upon the previous
placidity of the accused and pointed out the extenuating circum-,
stances Jn a life that had never before come In contact with the hardt
atmosphere of the courtroom.
"I beg for clemency, for mercy," he aaid. .
"I appreciate," responded the court, "the fact of thla beink, the
first offense, and therefore Impose a trivial fine of fifty dollri.'V'
Immediately the wife let out a terrifying scream and fell prone .
Upon the floor. i , ' L
"You see," aald the attorney, "even that I a hardship upon the
whole family. I beg that you -will reflect further and lessen .the fine."
The court stroked hie "whiskers. , t ,
'Very well. We will make the flne twenty-flv dollars." ?
The attorney closed his law books, and, bending across the'couHsel ,
table, saidto the Judfre, In a soothing voice,"'Your honor,. may it,
please the court I should like to Instruct my client's wife to
scream again." '
My word, the Judge fined the lawyer for contempt of court and
soaked the offender with six months in the workhouse.
Now, if this lawyer had been a CAVALIER reader, he would
have recognized the benefits of the first concession and won his case.
When fifty per cent.' of a proposition is AI, first-class, do not ex
pect any more.
Here la THE CAVA LI BR. for example, containing 192 pages,
and three-fourths of it is just about as near perfect as you can make
an all-fiction magazine. The other fourth varies in value, quality
and interest, there Is no question about that. It is the best we carv
make once a week, and, in so far as we have had no requests for a
change tri the percentages, we feel that we have won our cake with the
?reat American people who take this publication and who are per
ectly satisfied with, our efforts.
Like the performer who tried to play'the William-Tell overture
on fobr Swiss cowbells, we are doing the best w Can.
Nothing that we have done heretofore, however, entitles us t any
more applause or appreciation than the publication of

Her American Lover
By BAKU MOSES
THIS Is a story of anion, pur and
simple. There are no delays, no
halt. From the very drop of the
hat things begin to happen, and If
there is any device known to the
clan of naval writers (a clan in
which Mr. Darr Moses holds high
place) not utilised In "HER
AMERICAN LOVER," It h-escped
my attention.
Th central figure In the story Is
a young; woman whom everybody
In th world tries to marry except
the one man she. wants to marry.
Well, to make a long story short,
he Is the American, and his
achievement In the homestretch
of his desires am something to be
hereafter remembered.
The beauty about this story Is
that It Is tinctured with a dash or
humor.
Read It, by all means. Teu will
be amply repaid for the time 'and

Eve Militant
By HtLEM TOf PING MILLER
In these days of woman at the
polls. Is more than a mere diver
sion. It goes far beyond the
ballot-box, entering the portals of
our Inner consciousness. Unlike
most stories that deal with the
Issue of whether or not the woman
shall go to the polls. It Is enter
taining to both sexes.
If I mistake not, Helen Topping
Miller has drawn one of the char
acters In "ITVE MILITANT" from
real life. Whether It Is the man
or the woman, I leave to the read
ers of THE CAVALIER to decide.
ALLAN TJPDEQRAFF, ln "THE
TOAD'S JEWEL," gets behind
one of the big sentimental Issues In
an entirely new and novel way.
If It must be known, the toad Is
a poor tailor, sitting cross-legged at
his trade, stitching- the hours away
and mending milord's trousers. The
Jewel Is his daughter beautiful,
temperamental, and full of ado
lescent yearning!. The other point
ot the triangle Is on of the toad's
customers.
It Is quite as easy for Updegraft
to writ a Iov story on a Jailor's
banoh as It would have been for
