My glance wandering about the
loom aimlessly fe*J upon the valise In
one corner. It was Just where 1 re
membered leaving it when I went out,
yet I saw something which surely
resembled a slash in the leather. I
crossed over, and bent down it was
a slash, the clean cut of a knife, run
ning from end to end, penetrating
through both leather and cloth. Who
ever had done the deed had been un
able to operate the lock, and had
vsed the blade as a last resort, slit
ting the entire bag wide open. I in
serted my hand and felt within noth
ing seemed missing, or greatly dis
turbed. I explored to the bottom, and
then sprang to my feet in startled
amazement—the dagger I had con
cealed there was gone!
Good God: what could be the mean
tag of this? She had worn that orna
aaent In her hat openly, purposely, to
fool me into believing her Innocent.
There could be no other explanation.
She had confessed being at the hotel,

And she had even dared later to flaunt
It In m.v very face, to show it to me

Here was revealed a depth of duplici

now in all
hideousness—a mur­

true nature.

sibly gain by thus overhearing the tale
of their fuilure, If she already knew
who was the murderer of Alva, and
what had becotne of the spoils?
I could ask these questions, but not
one was answerable. Tliey merely
mocked me with their emptiness.
Then, shrill and insistent, the tele
phone rang.
My heart was beating like a trip
hammer as I took down the receiver.
Who could be calling me at this hour?
Who except she alone in this city knew
my name and hotel?
"Hullo."
A man's voice spoke huskily. "This
you. Daly?"
"Yes." hastily, Instantly aware of
who was on the other end of the wire,
yet feeling it best to dissemble until
I learned the purpose.
"Who Is speaking?"
"The fellow you biffed with a hot tie
tonight. No, I ain't got no hard feel
ings. Besides, I got something else to
think about than a cracked dome. Say,
I got some doie on how that job was
did. an' maybe could tell you some
thing else of Interest. I got to talk
with you privately—that's what. It's
a matter for the girl as well as yer
self. I'm playing square as long as
you do the right thing, but I know
who the datne is, an' am liable to
squeal if I get a raw deal that's put
ting it straight, Harry."
"You know who she is, you sayf'
"Sure I do. Old Pierre, over at
Perond's, told me. He never forgets
a face, or a name, that old buffer.
He knew you the minute you blov in.
and he knew her, too she'd been oere
before slumming."
"Who is she. then?"
"That's all right—I know b*»t I
ain't fool enough to blow it over the
wire. If you'll come over here and
have a talk, I'll spill a few thing* In
your ear that'll make you wise."
"Where are yon?"
"At Costigan's."
"What's become «f your partner?"
"Who's that—Waidron? lie ain't no
partner of mine. Say, you must have
handed that guy some Jolt. The last
I saw of him, he was laid out on a
bench in Perond's back room href th
ing like a stuck pig, dead to the wo^ld.
Will you come over here?"
"What have you got to tell me?"
"Well, there's the dame's name for
one thing. I'll bet you don't even
know who she is, or how she's string
in' you. Then I'm on to where a part
of that boodle's planted—anyhow I've
got a hunch. If we turn it up. *.'m
still strong on the tifty-flfty proposi
tion."
I turned It over swiftly In my ml'id,
the receiver still at my ear. I felt no
particular fear of Harris to be .'.tffe,
In all probability, he was on'y feeltog
about in the dark, hoping in this way
to learn something of value, yet it
might be that he had accidentally un
covered the glrt's identity, and th^t
alone waa Inducement enough to urfte
me to take the risk. If he actunl-y
knew who she was, he was the klrwd
that might become ugly, and, however
much I suspicioned her In my own
mind, I had no desire to leave her un
defended at his mercy. Guilty or not
guilty, my inclination was to protect
her to the last. Resides I was eager
to obtain the information he claimed
to possess indeed, all progress on the
case was blocked until I did obtain it.
As to his boast that he knew where
the stolen money was concealed, I
took little stock in that. Doubtless he
merely threw that in for good meas
ure. But the other looked reasonable
enough she had confessed being at
Perond's before Pierre was fully as
likely to recall her to memory as he
was to remember Daly, and Harris
could never have made so shrewd a
guess, unless he had, really been told
the facts. Another thing gave me cour
age to go to Costigan's. I was si 111
accepted by these people as Harry
Daly, crook. I would undoubtedly be
so received, so treated. Under these
circumstances there could be no per
sonal danger: I held the whip-hand,
the advantage—Harris was only en
deavoring to see what he could get
out of me he had abandoned force
to resort to diplomacy.
"All right," I said. "I'll run over
there it you want to play fair, I'll
meet you half way."
"Oh, I'm on the square, old man,
and I've got some good dope,". he In
sisted. "I'll blow It when you show
up."
I returned tbe receiver to the hook,
uncertain whether or not I had de
cided rightly, vet determined to carry
out the experiment. Above ail else I
wanted to learn who Marie Gessler
was. Nothing else mattered so much,
for on this discovery all else hinged.
If violence, or treachery, was Intended,
I would be found prepared, and well
able to defend myself.

posited at the door of the saloon. 1
pressed open the swinging door, and
stepped into the brilliantly lighted bait
room.
Costigan was behind the bar, but,
at sight of me, rounded the end, and
shook
hands cordially, removing his
apron, and slipping Into a coat, in
token th.iit he hud changed his occupa
tion.
"Better call Charlie," be said to a
man beside him, "for I'll be off for an
liour or so. You came to see George?"
"Yes he telephoned me."
"Said he was goin' to. He's waltln'
in the office there. I'll go along with
you."
He pushed a passage through the
crowd, his breadth of body according
me ample room in which to follow
without being obstructed, and opened
the closed door with a pass-key. To
a wave of his big hand I passed con
fidently past him, and entered. The
next instant he had pressed me for
ward, came in also, and closed the
door the sharp click of the lock
sounded like the report of a pistol.
One startled glance at the Interior
told me 1 was trapped, and the «wift
instinct of defense led me to step
aside, so that I should have my back
to the wall. Harris sat in the swivel
chair, with feet elevated on the desk,
sardonically grinning at me over a
half-chewed cigar tilted between his
teeth. A white rag was bound round
his head, through which a few drops
of blood had oozed, leaving a dark

face a look of savage brutality, ren
dered peculiarly sinister by a grim
effort to smile. Costigan remained
motionless, with back against the door,
as though thus barring all possibility
of escape. I had Walked into their
trap, and the Jaws bad closed.
The grin on Harris' face maddened
me. "Well," 1 said coldly, "it was
a
stall, was it? What is the idea?"
He laughed, Without changing his
attitude.
"This happens to be our turn to
play, Daly," he returned, apparently
well •satisfied with his smartness.
"Then you have nothing to tell me?"
"Oh, yes, I have I've got a h—1 of
a lot to tell you. But first of ali you
are going to tell me a few things.
Push back your right sleeve to the el
bow, shirt and ail."
"What's that for."
"Never you mind what It's for you
do what I say, if you know what is
best for yourself."
I looked at tbe faces of the othe"s,
but they were hard as flint. My hesi
tancy caused Harris to lower bis fe?t,
and sit up angrily.
"Push up that sleeve, you, or HI
have Waidron do it for you. We'vi
got you foul, you fool!"
I stripped back my sleeve, exposing
my right forearm, yet never remov
ing my eyes from their faces. Harr'n
i and Costigan bent forward, intent on
the operation, but Waidron never
shifted his position. Harris slapped
hand on the desk, and gave utter
ance to an oath.
"By G—d, Dan, we'l« right. This

"Not in a thousand years he ain't.
He's sure a dead-ringer, though."
Harris straightened up, the same

New Invention Makes Fords Run 34
Miles on Gallon of Gasoline and
Start Easy in Coldest Weather—
Other Cars Show Preportionata
Savings.
A new carburetor which cuts down gas
oline consumption of any motor, includ
ing the Ford, and reduces gasoline bills
from one-third to one-half is the achieve
ment of the Air Friction Carburetor Com
pany, 3*M Madison St., Dayton, Ohio.
This invention not only increases the
power of all motors from 30 to 60 per
cent, but enables one to run slow on high
gear. It also makes it easy to start a
Ford or any other car in the coldest
weather without previously warming the
motor. With it you can use the very
cheapest srade of gasoline or half gaso
line and half kerosene and still get more
power and more mileage than you now
get from the beHt gasoline. Many Ford
owners say they get as high as 35 t~ 40
miles to a gallon of gasoline. The manu
facturers offer to send it on days' trial
to any car owner. It can he put on or
taken off in a few minutes by anyone.
All who want to try it should send their
name, address and make of car to the
manufacturers at once. They also want
local agents to whom they offer excep
tionally large profits. Write them today.
