CHAPTER XlV—Continued.

“I have.” she answered, looking at
him steadily In the eye, but speaking
with a slight tremor In her tones. I
wondered to what it might be due.
Was it because she feared the conse
quences of the revelation as to her
identity, or was if that she feared she
might be trapped by his questions?
“Now teil me, Mrs. Moore,” he shot
at her explosively, “who really mur
dered Daisy Lutan?”
“Henry Kent,” she answered quick
ly, before the district attorney had
time to stop her.
“What’s this?" exclaimed the Judge.
“What did you say?”
“Object I object!'' vociferated the
district attorney, striving in vain to
catch the attention of the Judge pre
siding. McGregor, apparently well
satisfied with the results of ills ques
tion, stood there, smiling assurance
at me.
“Young woman,” directed the Judge,
“will you kindly repeat your last
statement —louder. Who did you say
killed Daisy Lutan?”
The girl turned to face the judge.
Her lips were set ns if she had deter
mined to carry out some fixeu plan,
cost what it might.
“Daisy Lutan,” she repeated, “was
murdered by Henry Kent, who owns
the Grunddeck. He’s really Orville
Granders, tlie bank president who got
away with eight hundred thousand
dollars and was sent up for seventeen
years.”
There was a commotion In the rear
of the courtroom. A dapper little old
gentleman with neatly trimmed white
whiskers rose hastily and made a
dash for the door. Gorman, who had
been sitting behind him, sprang after
him and pinioned him by the arms:
“Nothing doing, Granders. I’ve got
you.”
Wick, sitting up near the counsel
table, at the same time showed evi
dence that he, too, was contemplating
hasty flight, but h husky chap -whom
I suspected of being one of Gorman’s
aides, seized him, too.
“Your honor,” cried my counsel, “I
demand the issuance of warrants at
once for Orville Granders, alias Henry
Kent, and his confederate, James Wil
son, alias James Wick and ‘Stuffy
Jim,* on the charge of having mur
dered Daisy Lutan and Rufus Gaston.
I further urge the immediate release
of my client, Mr. Spalding Nelson,’ in
my custody. Testimony that we al
ready have obtained will establish
that he was an Innocent victim of the
dastardly plots of these two ex-con
vlcts.”
The reaction that came from this
sudden clearing of my name left me
In a puzzled, daze from which I hard
ly recovered until late that evening,
when, once more free, I found myself
In the Gaston apartment. Granders,
his tool, Wick, and practically every
employee of the Granddeck were un
der arrest, and warrants were out for
other members of the band whose
Identity had been revealed by the for
mer telephone girl.
And there in the apartment with me
were my mother, Gorman, McGregor—
and to my surprise and delight. Bar
bara Bradford. After her sister’s
wedding, it appeared, Barbara’s moth
er had gone away for a brief rest,
leaving her alone in the apartment
with the servants. She had welcomed
the opportunity to work undisturbed
on the mystery that had landed me be
hind the bars. Thinking that at Rufus
Gaston’s funeral she might pick up
some clue that would be of service in
unraveling the tangled skein that held
her and me together, she had gone
thither, and seeing my mother there,
and suspecting at once who she might
be. had introduced herself. Quickly
they had become good friends and she
it was who had informed my mother
of my plight.
Present also with us. despite the
lateness of the hour, was the district
attorney ana two of his aides, and
Nellie Kelly, or ns she much preferred
to be called. Mrs. Moore. The girl was
technically a prisoner, but her services
in bringing the real criminals to book
had been so exceptional that she had
been released on her own recogniz
ance. Hither she hnd ‘.been brought
that the district attorney might check
up with her the marvelous tale of
criminal# conspiracy that she had un
folded to my counsel in the brief re
cess of the court that day.
Orville Granders. It appeared, had
been the master-mind that had direct
ed all the plotting. A score of years
before he hnd been president of one
of the metropolis’ biggest banks. He
had been discovered to have embez
zled nearly a million dollars. He bad
been tried and sentenced to seventeen
years’ imprisonment, but no one ever
had been able to find what he bad
lone with the money, ao safely had he
hidden It away.
In his long years In prison, associ
ating daily with criminals of the worst
soft, and listaoUif to their plans for
THU CHMTWNW WWOB)
further crime am their mlf i. his
own crlmlaml Instincts, already devel
oped, had crown stronger, and he had
spent his time planning a new system
of crime of which he was to he the
head, using as his confederates cer
tain evildoers with whom be had be
come acquainted in frrison. When he
bad beep released he bad slipped
quietly away to the West and lived In
close retirement until be bad been for
gotten. The white whiskers be had
grown so changed his appearance,
too, that he had little fear of being
recognized. Recovering such part of
the stolen money as was left to him,
he had come to New York In the guise
of a prosperous Western investor and,
purchasing a plot of land, had erected
the Granddeck apartments, designed
for the occupancy of the wealthiest
class of tenants.
In this building, sitting like a little
white spider In. his web, he planned to
prey secretly on all who came to live
there. Every attendant in the build
ing was either a criminal or an associ
ate of criminals, reporting to him
dally all that went on, and obeying his
orders Implicitly. A special switch
board in his apartment enabled him to
listen In at will on all telephone con
versations that went on. Every letter
delivered N at the Granddeck went
through his hands before reaching the
tenants. For every wall safe in the
building he held a master combination
and his pass-key would unlock every
door there was. And in addition to .
all this—
HE HAD BUILT A SECRET PAS
SAGEWAY.
We found It that night and ex
plored it, familiarizing ourselves with
all Its exits, greatly to the amazement
and confounding of Gorman. Con
necting with the service elevator by a
masked opening, It ran along the hall
of each apurtment, with entrances
concealed in wall panels. It enabled
Granders to wander at will through
the apartments at night, leaving mys
terious notes to terrify his tenants,
prying into the secrets hidden in their
wall safes, listening when he chose to
their most private conversations, ex
amining the contents of their pockets.
As he hod planned from the begin
ning, he gained in this way much In
formation that he was able to utilize
to his financial profit without arous
ing suspicion. He had discovered,
Mrs. Moore said, secret stock market
movements one of his tenants was
planning and had made a small for
tune out of the advance Information.
Several Injudicious women he had
successfully blackmailed, turning over
to agents who never came near the
Granddeck the secrets he learned from
letters he opened and telephone con
versations he had listened to.
In the case of Rufus Gaston, he had
plotted to steal the Gaston pearls,
Mrs. Moore explained, first terrifying
the old couple into leaving the apart
ment, the whispers that had been
heard coming of course from the se
cret passageway.
“But I can’t understand,” I said,
“why, after he had once got hold of
the pearls In Mr. Gaston’s absence, he
should have restored them to their
hiding place.”
“He had a duplicate made of phony
pearls,” explained Mrs. Moore. “It
wus part of his plan not to have any
of the tenants discover the theftd for
a long time after they occurred.”
“If he was so cautious," said the
district attorney, “I am puzzled as £h
why he killed Miss I.utan and
Gaston. He must have realized that
both murders would be thoroughly In
vestigated."
“Both were accidents, so to speak,”
the girl explained. “Each of them
surprised him'in their apartment, and
He Had Built a Secret Passageway.
he hod to kill them to make his get
away. I suppose he had been rooming
around so much he had got careless.”
‘‘How about the revolver?” asked
Gorman. ‘‘How did he come to plant
it iu Nelson’s room?”
‘‘He was puzzled by Mr. Nelson but
ting in on the Bradford case, and It
made him sore. I heard him and Wick
talking about It one day, and he said
that he’d tench Mr. Nelson not to in
terfere. ‘How?’ asked Wick. Til
frame him for the goat If anything
happens.’ ” f
“And was It he who had me dis
charged from my office?’* I asked, eag
erly.
“Sure It was. He wrote a note on
Mr. Gaston’s stationery saying that
you had forged a check after he had
befriended you. He wrote in the let
ter that he was not going to prosecute
you because of mother, but lhat
he felt that you were unworthy of em
ployment anywhere.”
“I believe,” said the district attor
ney, “that that clears everything up,
except for one thing—why. Mrs.
Moore, did you aid him and Wick in
all these crimes?”
“He promised Chat If I would M|
him he would got Eddie out,” oho
cried. ”1 woo desperate, Td do any
thing to get my husband bade.”
Gorman and the district attorney
exchanged meaning glances. While
nothing more was said, 1 felt sure as
they departed that both were thinking
that this brave young woman who had
solved the mystery for them certainly
deserved some reward, and I think wo
all realized that the only reward tifo
ever could hold for her was the free
dom of her husband.
Presently they went and left ns
alone, Gorman, my mother, Barbara,
and L
“There are still two things I cannot
understand,” I said, as we sat talking
It over. “The first Is”—and I turned
to Barbara —“what was your sister do
ing In this apartment on the night of
the first murder? When I came up
from the Lutan apartment I caught
her Just coming out of my door. I
could not help wondering If they had
made her plant the revolver.”
Barbara started up, blushing,
“Oh, no," she cried. “It was nothing
like that. You remember a few mo
ments before you and I had been In
your room, looking at the secret paw
“If Only I Had Something to Offer You
Besides My Love!"
sageway. Claire just then had come
Into my room looking for me. She
was puzzled by my absence, and the
only solution that came to her was
that I must be in your'rooms. Alarmed
at what she considered my impru
dence, she had slipped out into the
hall, and seeing your door open, had
investigated. Of course she did not
find me, for I had returned by way of
the window ledge. She told me about
It the night before she was married.
I don’t wonder, though, that you sus
pected her.”
“I didn’t suspect her,” I cried. "I
just wondered what she had been do
ing there.”
“That’s right,” said Gorman. “Ho
wouldn’t believe for a minute that she
had had anything to do with it.”
“But what puzzles me most,” I went
on, “is how you ever persuaded the
telephone girl to give Granders away.
It must have been done after she hid
given her first testimony. How did It
happen that she changed so suddenly
over to our side?”
As I looked from one to the other
for an explanation, Gorman burst out
laughing.
“You’ll have to ask falss Bradford
about that,” he said. “She did it all.”
I turned again to look at Barbara,
expecting her to speak, but she merely
blushed and was silent.
“Go on, tell me,” I urged her.
“Well,” she said hesitatingly, “as I
heard her testifying, I had an inspira
tion. I heard her say that she loved
her husband, and that she did not care
who knew it —and —and —and —all at
once I realized that love was the
strongest Influence in the world, so I
had Mr. McGregor ask for an adjourn
ment, and then—”
She stopped in confusion, the rosy
blushes once more mantling her
cheeks.
“Go on.” I Insisted.
“I can’t tell it,” she cried.
“You must tell,” I urged. “I have a
right to know it. What did you do?”
“I managed to see b«r alone.”
Again she hesitated.
“What did you say to her?” I de
manded.
“I just told her," she faltered, low*
ering her eyes as she spoke, “that—
that I loved you just as much as she
loved her husbund, and I begged her
for love’s soke not to help send you to
the chair, and she broke down and
told everything.”
“Oh, Barbara, my Barbara!” I
cried, springing up and clasping her
in my arms. “If only I had something
to offer you besides my love—”
"I wouldn’t worry about that Just
now, Spalding,” interrupted my moth
er’s voice. “They found your great
uncle's will today. He made you his
sole heir.”
But Barbara and I hardly heeded
her good news. We were too busy
telling each other the world-old story.
