Sureness Spells Speed!
When you set out to make a call in person, you
always assure yourself that you have the right
address.
In telephone-calling, equal sureness a.'-, to the
proper telephone number saves not only time but
positive annoyances both to you and to the person
who may be called in error.
The xnre way is first to consult the directory
carefully ? not trusting to memory ? and then
listen carefully while the operator repeats the
number back to you. correcting her if she has
misunderstood.
Then. too. at times, when a number ?-s' called
in error, it is well to remember that the person
called to the telephone by mistake is never at fault
and deserves the utmost courtesy.

(Continued from Monday's Intelligence!*)
The procession maintained Us order
till Freddie turned down u street olt
Charing Cross road. His foot was in
the doorway of a theatrical costumer's
when the inspector's hand dropped light
ly on his shoulder. One glance he took
and then recoiled with every evidence
of dismay and terror
"Well, Freddie," said Ansoll. In the
quiet, gentle voice the other man read u
menace that did not exist.
"Gawd, Mr. Ansoll," he cried, "You
scared me."
"Sorry," apologized Ansoll. "You don't
mind a joke, old man. "He linked his J
arm lovingly with that of his quarry,
and Cotterill ranged up on the other sid>:. |
Freddie made a hall'-hearted attempt!
to disengage his arm. This encounter!
was altogether too pat upon his inter-]
view with Wolf Coyne to be to his taste.
He was almost superstitious about it.
Hut t he ruling gambit of the crook came
automatically to his lips.
??There's nothing you've got up against i
me. You lemme go. Von ain't no busi- 1
ness to interfere" with me."' I
"Freddie," remonstrated the inspector,
"you se*m frightened at something.
?".V hat's the matter with you? We onlv
want to buy yon a drink. You never
used to bo as shy as this." His grip
tightened.
"I'm not frightened." declared the
other, raising his voice so that there
should be n" mistake. "What T sot to be
frightened about? Only T've got an ap
pointment. Vou've got no right to hold
me up like this. "I'll report you."
"Tteport away." replied Ansoll. "We
like It. Hut come and have that drink,
all the same."
Somehow Freddie found himself im
pelled away from the costumers. The
nrosnect of a drink did not entice him.
TTe was possessed by too wholesome a
fear even for that. Tlis restless eyes
sought vainly for enlightment In the
inspector's faee. It wore an air of beam
ing benevolence.
? ? ? ? ?
In the cellar-like saloon of a nearby
public house. Freddie found himself seat
ed on a high stonj with a detective on i
each side. Ansoll paid for drinks and |
his unwilling guest found the taste ofj
a liqueur brandy grateful and comfort
ing. Ansoll talked idly In general. When '
Cot I ? ? i- i 1 1 insisted on a second round. I
Freddie was a little less suspicious of |
their motives.
Willi a brand-new five-pound noie|
burning In his bin pocket, he was not
to be outdone in hospitality, and again
the bar man replenished t be glasses.
Freddie began to see how lie had mis
judged his hospitable companion*. I'v j
the fifth round. Ii" was calling CoM'-rlil i
"limniie" and bad dropped the "Mr." [
when he addressed Ansoll. Il escaped!
bis not iet that 'nee the second round!

| ilon We'r. all for pleasant methods. ,
I < >wn up. now W'e'v- le Vi r rest a crooked

Freddie grave|v shook bis head. "N'o.
T don't own you no grnd'ce When you've
beep aft'-r in* you've always played the
straight game Mut hie --a. \i?se*" ?
he hooked a collide of i bin ling rs onto
the inspector's middle waistcoat button
I ? "yon folUs want some! bin' onta me

I "That's so. I ?e7. to ineseif ? hlc ? when

"Sure. That appointment, now ? some
thing to do with me, was it?"
Freddie grinned confidingly. "T* betcha !
shirt It was. Say, Anse', somo of the
boys are savin up for you. But 1'in nut
in it now. I'm going back to "Wolfe
Coyne and tell him to couut me out.
You're a good f'llah ? better f'llah than
Wolf, anyway. Let him Keep his five
hundred."
Ansoll raised a lemonado and angos
; turn to his lips and took a slow drink.
Oyer Freddie's head lie saw Cotterill de
liberately close one eye. That was all the j
sign that passed that either was vitally I
interested in Freddie's babble.
"H'm." commented the inspector.
"Wolf's gulling for me. is lie? Well, I
wish him luck."
"He's a m fan man. He thinks lie's I
got it all under his own thatch 'stead of I
calling in those that's forgotten more of j
the game than lie ever knew. Told me
1 was yellow, he did ? me yellow."
His half-fuddled wits were working a i
grievance against the "con" man. "l>ut i
you're a good f'llah. I'll show liim
I whether I'm yellow ? him and his swell
I suckers." He scowled at the fresh
j drink which had been placed in front
of him.
Ansoll pulled at his reddish mustache.
"Called you yellow, eh? I suppose that
five hundred was so you might try and
croak me. Why on earth Wolf Coyne
should be putting it across me I don't
| know."
"Croak >?'?" Freddie laughed scorn- 1
| fully. "No. I don't frill for that sort j
of business. I'm nobody's fool to run I
my head into a rope. .\'u: it's like this. j
Anso": You're crowding Wolf, and he's
a man that don't like to he crowded. Sol
j he tlxrd it with me t" plav a little game,
on you ? something that'll keep you too
I busy thinking about yourself to inter-!
I fere will) him till he has made a get- |
n way with the goods. Xo, Anse', !
you're a good f'llah. Wolf was going to!
give me live hundred of the best ? what's '
it worth to you If I put you wise?"
Ansoll stiffened. He stood up and his ;
smiling familiarity vanish-d. "You're'
talking through the back of your le ad. ;
Freddie," hi- sneered. "1 thought you*,
"had iii' .re sense than to piteli me a cock- j
and-bnll story like that. Say. honest'
now, have you ever met Wolf Coyne in j
your life? What do you think of him, ?
Jinimie?" j
Cotterill humped his shoulders scorn- :
fully. "What do you take us for, Fred-'

j to make a liver by telling us the ta'e? :

Kr-dd if gulped angrily. This change
from good-fellowship rank incml lily |
had b- en well timed.
"Telling a tale, am I" IVin't know!
Wolf Coyne, don't I? 'You bulls think!

I To his pro;, st both dete<Mi\. s listened i
I with no trace of emotion.
"It's all right, old son." said Jinimie j
Cotterill soothingly "We're not going

They put him in the detention room at
King: street ? "detained for inquiries"
was t >ie oft'fficial explanation ? and ad
journed to the <i i cry lit t U* criminal intel
li pence department ort'ice on the second
floor. There th<-y sank into chairs fac
ing each other, and the little wrinkles
round the corner of Ansoll's eyes grew
more intense. Jle gave a short cackle
of laughter.
"Wolf Coyne is It." he chuckled. "The
one and only It. .Vow. Jimmie. we've
got to pet busy." He reached for the
desk telephone. "<iiv?- me C. L. ? Ansoll
speaking."
**?**?
"With the dismissal of "Flash Freddie."
Coyne felt that the Ansoll problem wafi
in a fair way of being settled. He
chuckled to himself as he dressed for
dinner. As his man brushed him down,
he gave a glance at himself in the glass
and, with a satisfied nod. moved to the
private room ho had ordered for dinner.
He was distinguished even without the
three orders that dangled on his lapel ?
a man of whom you might be sure at
first glance as standing In the front
rank of whatever profession of society
he adorned.
He welcomed his guests ? there were
only three ? with that clrirm of manner
that had stood him in good stead In
multifarious enterprises. If you had
raked London you would not have found
three persona less likely to be duped by
an adventurer than those whom Coyne
was entertaining. There was Lord Dal
garen, millionaire owner of fifty thou
sand acres in Yorkshire and two hun
dred in London, and reputed one of the
best business men in the House of
Lords: Sir Henry Palton, builder of the
big enterprise that shrieked at you from
every boarding ? "Pal ton's Preserves,"
find young Rupert Daintou, M. P.. who
had been left fifteen thousand pounds a
year and a big political future.
It was over the coffee that business
was introduced, l.'p till then, Coyne had
given no indication that there was any
more than a matter of hospitality. He
lit a cigar with dainty care.
"Well. I'alton.' he said. "I've had a
cable today. Von people have had
plenty of time to make sure of my cre
dentials. This ought to be fixed up. now,
or before we know it we'll be pushed
aside. These American republics are
slippery folks to deal with. We don't
want any one to get ahead of us."
Palton adjusted :i pair of eyeglasses
and looked gravely over their rims at
his host. "It would have been better If
you'd got the concession signed before
we put up the money, .Mr. Arthur. Of
course 1 can understand the difficulties
of the position, but ? "
Coyne drummed on the tshle absent
ly. it was Drtinton who struck in. "My
deal Palton. we've been over that
ground a dozen times among ourselves.
It isn't as if it were a gamble. It's a
perfectly reasonable proposition.
The confidence wns interrupted. "I
want to he clear with you, gentlemen.
Von perfectly understand that I don't
risk ;i penny of my own money. I
would like you to l?e in on this, but of
course if there is any difficulty about
raising the money, I can take the pro
posal elsewhere. If you had my ex
perience in South America, you would
know you can't d> this sort of thing
in hot "air. You can get this concession
to build a railway through one of the
biggest Sou'h American republics If you
an- prepared to put up a hundred thous
and as a guarantee that vou really
will build it. It seems, as Mr. Dainton
says, perfectly reasonable. If we were
tlii* only pe?>|ii?' in tile mniiiet ? "
?Put that point aside for u moment,"
said Dalgaren. "What I think, I tell
j on frankly, is that you are asking us
too much. We're putting up the money,
and the contract you want us to sign
agrees that for services rendered you
are to receive not l?-ss than one-fourth
of the ordinary shares when we go to
ji 1 1 cjt mei'.t."
"That's it." :igr? od Pal! on. "It's too
much. You agree with us. don't you,
Sainton""
