CHAPTER XIII. The Burglary at Gilder's. TIIE entrauce of the butler brought tho inspector's thoughts back to the matter in haxtvL "My man," he siild authorita tively, "1 want you to up to the roof and o-v:i the scuttle. 1'ou'Il tind some men waiting up there. Uriug 'em down Lure. They're police olli cers. You got 'eui down here, and t!un you go to bed and stay there till morn i g. U i; d ers ta ud The butler looked at his master for guidance. Rivtiviug a nod, be said: "Very well, sir." "How do you know they're going to break into the house touigl.t." tii'.der demanded of liurke, "or do you only think they're going to break Into the house?' "I know they are, I fixed it. "You did?" "Sure; did it thr-.nih a stool pigeon. "Oh, an informer!" Giider interrupt ed, a little doubtfully. "Yes," I'.urke agreed; "stool pigeon is the police name for tirn. Really, he's the vilest thing that crawls." "I";ut if you think that" Gilder ex postulated, "why do you have any thing to do with that sort of person?" "I'.ecause it's good business." the in spector replied. "We know he's a spy find a traitor and that every time he comes near us we ought to use a dis infectant Dut we deal with him just the same lecaue we have to. Now, the stool pigeon ia this trick is a swell Ung'.ish crook. lie went to Garson yesterday with a scheme to rob your house. He tried out Mary Turner, too. but she told Garson to leave it alone, r.ut he met Griggs afterward and agreed to pull It on. Griggs got word to me that it's coming oQ7 tonight and so. you see. Mr. Gilder, that's how 1 know." "I see. Gilder admitted without any enthusiasm. "But why do you have your men come down over the roof?" "It wasn't safe to bring theia in the fro'.it way." It's a cinch the- house is being watched. I wish you would let me have your latch key. I want to come back and make this collar niy self." "Hut why not stay, now that you are here?" "Suppose some of tbem saw me come in? There wouldn't be arythiug doing until after they saw me go out again." The hall door opened, and the butler re-entered the room. Behind him came Cassidy and two other detectives in plain clothes. At a word from hi master the disturbed Thomas with drew. "Now." Burke went on briskly as the door closed behind the servant "where could these men stay out of sight until they're needed?" There followed a litte discussion which ended in " the selection of a storeroom at the end of the passage en the ground tioor. "And now, Mr. Gilder." the Inspec tor said energetically, "I'm going to give you the same tip I gave your man. Go to bed and stay there." "Bat the boy," Gilder protested. "What about him? He's the one tiling of importance to me." ' "If he says anything more about go ing to Chicago just you let him go, that's all! It's the best place for Lin: for the next few days." "You're in charge here." Burke said to Cussidy, "nnd I hold you responsi ble. I'm coming hack to get this bunch myself, and I'll call you when you're wanted. You'll wait in the storeroom out there and don't make a move till you hear from me. unless by any chance things go wrong and you get a. call from Griggs. Jle's cot a whistle, and he'll use it if necessary. Got that straight?" Cassidy declared an entire understanding of the direc tions. As the men left the room Burke turned again to Gilder. "Just one thing more." he said. "Aft er I've gone 2 want you to stay up for a half hour anyhow, with the lights burning. Do you see? 1 want to Le sure to give the Turner woman lime to get here while that gang U ft work." Gilucr scrupulously followed the di rections of the police inspector. Un easily ho had remained lu the library m; til the allotted time was elapsed. He Ldgeted from place to place, his. mind heavy with distress under the shadow that threatened to blight the life of his cherished son. Finally, with a sense of relief he put out the lights and went to his chamber. His thoughts were most with his son, and ever as he thought of Dick hhi fury waxed against the woman who had enmeshed tbe boy In her plotting !'T vengrat'.ce on himself. And Into his thoughts now crept a doubt, one tl:."t alarmed his t-enso of justice. A l.-orrih! suspicion that he had misjudg ed M iry Turner crept into bis brain and would n"t out He fought it with all ti-eitrcnutli of. him, and that was IT : aWX- 3T T!',"-T s X?a, i ! I ! Mary Was Utterly Wretched. much, but ever it abode there. Mary Turner herself, too. was in a condition utterly wretched, and for the same cause Dick Gilder. That source of the father's suffering was hers as well, lie had won her ambition of years revenge on the man who had sent her to prison. And now the joy of it was a torture, for the puppet of her plans, the son, had suddenly be come the chief thing in her life. She had taken it for granted that he would leave her after he came to know that her marriage to him was only a device to bring shame on his father. Instead he loved her. That fact seem ed the secret of her distress. He loved her. More, he dared believe, and to assert boldly, that she loved him. Had he acted otherwise the matter would have been simple enough. But he loved hejwlovoJ her still, thocch he tnew the shame that had clouded her life, knew the motive that had led her to accept Teiin as a husband. More by a sublime audacity he declared that she loved him. There came a thrill in her heart each time she thought of that that she loved him. The idea was monstrous. of course, and yet Here, as always. she broke off, a hot flush blazing in her checks. Mary Turner was just ready for bed when a note came by a messenger who waited for no answer, as he told the yawning maid. As Mary read the roughly scrawled message, she was caught In the grip of terror. The man who had saved her from death had yielded to "temptation. As he had saved her so she must save him. She hurried into tee gown she had just put off. Then she went to the tele phone book and searched for the aum tor of Gilder's house. A few moments before Mary Turner received the note from the hands of the sleepy maid one of the leaves IS I Dacey With a Ferret Face. of the octagonal window in the library of Kichard Gilder's town house swung open under the persuasive influence of a thin rod of steel, cunningly used, and Joe Garson stepped conQdently into the dark room. For a space he rested motionless, listening intently. Iteassured. he drew out an electric torch and set it glow ing. A little disk of light touched here and there about the room, traveling very swiftly aud in methodical cir cles. Satisfied by the survey, Garson crossed to the hall door, where he lis tened for any sound of life without and found none. The door into tha passage that led to the storeroom where the detectives waited next ec paged his businesslike attention. And here again there was naught to pro voke his suspicion. It seemed to hira that everything was in readiness for the coming of his associates. There remained only to give them the signal ia the room around the corner where they waited at a telephone. He seated himself in Gilder's chair at the desk and drew tbe telephone to him. "Give me Bryant." he srdd There was a little wait Then an an swer in a voice he knew came over the wire. " - Garscn picked up a penholder from the desk and began tapping ligtitly on the t1m of the transmitter. It was a code message In Morse. In the mom around the corner the tapping soundtd clearly, tickins out, the. message that the way was free for the thieves' com ing. For a final safeguard Garson search ed for and found the telephone bell box and unscrewed the bells, which he placed on the desk, ne then took his pistol from his hip pocket and thrust it into the right side pocket of his coat Once again, now, he produced the elec tric torch and lighted it as he extin guished the lamp on tbe table. ne then went to the door Into the hall, opened it and. leaving It ajar. made his way in silence to the onter doorway. Tbe doors there were freed of their bolts, and one of them swung wide. So nicely had the affair been timed that hardly was the door open before the three men slipped in and stood mute and motionless in the hall while Garson refastened the doors. Then Garson walked quickly back to the library. Behind him. with steps as noiseless as his own, came the three men. When all were gathered in the U brary Garson shut the hall door, touched the button in the wall beside it and the chandelier threw its radiant light on the group. Griggs was in evening clothes, seem iug a very elegant young gentleman indeed, but his two companions were of grosser type as far as apjearances went one, Dacey, thin and wiry, with a ferret face; the other. Chicago Bed. a brawny ruffian, whose stolid features nevertheless exhibited something of half sullen good nature. "Everything all right so far." Garson said rapidly. He turned to Griggs and pointed toward the heavy hangings that shrouded the octagonal window. Are those the things we want?" be demanded. . ...... "Yes," was the answer. Well, then, we've got to get busy.' Before he could add a direction be was halted by a soft buzzing from the telephone. For an instant he hesitated while the others regarded him doubt fully. "We've got to take a chance." Gar son went to the desk and put the re ceiver to his ear. There came again the taizi tapping of some one at tbe other cud of the line, signaling a message in the Morse code. Au expression of blank amaze ment which grew in a flash to deep concern, showed on Garson's face as he listened tensely. "Why. this is Mary calling," he mut tered. "Mary!" Griggs cried. "Yes, she's on," Garson interpreted a moment later as the tapping ceased for a little. He translated in a loud whis per as the Irregular ticking noLe sounded again. "I shall be there almost at once- I am sending this message from the dnur store around the corner. Have some one open the door for me imme diately." "She's coming over!" Griggs cried in credulously. "No, I'll stop her," Garson declared firmly. But when after tapping a few words the forger paused for the reply no sound came. "She don't answer!" he exclaimed. "On her way already," Griggs sug gested. "I'll let her in." He drew a small torch from the skirt pocket of his coat and crossed to the hall door as Garson nodded assent "God! Why did she have to come?" Garsou muttered, filled with forebod ings. "If anything should go wrong now!" He turned back toward the door just as it opened, and Mary darted into the room, with Griggs following closely at her heels. "What do you want here?" he de manded, with peremptory savageness in his voice, which was a tone he bad never hitherto used in addressing her. There was only tender pleading in Mary's voice, though her words were an arraignment "Joe, you lied to me!" "That can be settled later!" the man snapped. His jaw was thrust forward obstinately, and "his clear eyes spar kled defiantly. "You are fools, all of you!" Mary cried. "Yes. fools! This. is burglary. I can't protect you if you are caught How can I? Oh, come!" She held out her bands pleadingly toward Garson. and her voice dropied to beseeching. "Joe, Joe, you must get away from this house at once, all of you! Joe. make them go! "It's too late." was the stern an swer. "We're here now, and we'll stay till the business Is doue." "Joe. for my sake!" "I can't quit now until we'Te got what we came here after," he declared roughly. "Beys, let's get away! Tlease, oh. pleasel Joe, for God's sake!" Her tone was a sob. "lia going to see this through," said Garson doggedly. With u gesture of despair she turned away toward the door by which she had entered. "You can't go. Garson said sharply. You might be caught" "And if I were," Mary demanded In a flash of Indignation, "do you think I'd tell?" "Of course not Mary. I know you. You would go up for life first Just the same,you can't take any chances. e n ail get away in a minute and you'll come with us." He turned to the men and spoke with swift author ity. "Come," he said to Dacey, "you get to the light switch there by tbe ball door. If you hear me snap my lin gers, turn 'em off. Understand?" With instant obedience the man went to his station by the hall door. "Bed." Garson ordered, "you get to that door." He rointed to tbe one that gave on the passageway against which he had set the chair tilted. As, 'This is Mary calling," Garson mut tered. the man" obeyed Garson gave further instructions. "If any one comes in that way get him and get him quick. Y'ou under stand? Don't let him cry out or make a sound." Chicago Bed held up his huge hand, widely open. "Not a chance," he declared proud ly, "with that over his mug." "Now, let's get to work," Garson con tinued eagerly. Mary spoke with the bitterness of defeat "Listen. Joe! If you do this I'm through with yon. I quit" "If this goes through," be countered, "we'll all quit That's why I'm do'.Dg it I'm sick of the game." (To be Continued) .. .?.. SOUTH BEND.
