There may have been swifter tales, but not re cently. It's an aeroplane of a yarn, moving so fast that you . lose your breath while you fol low it. But you don't need any breath, anyway, because you for get about respiration with your eyes on reading of this kind. Every man lias his day of days. Yours may have come and you may be swimming in the full tide of fortune. If so, read how P. Sybarite found his. If your own ship is still in the offing, you will enjoy learning how the little spunky red headed bookkeeper won a fortune and an heiress, foiled all his enemies and had some of the most amazing ad ventures ever penned all in less time than it takes the hour hand to round the clock dial twice. CHAPTER XIV. Red November'! Work. OF all his weird adventures this latest pleased I. Sybarite least.

For by now the liht was nothing less in the open. Yet to his relief he found no more than limpid twilight in the cramped and shud-nved well down which rigziigr-g-d the fire escape. The window was wide open, to fore whose latch he had thoughtfully pro vided himself with a fruit knife from Peter Kenny's buffet- Within was gloom and stillness absolute. He step ped noiselessly in his unshod feet down through the window, i-.-iutiously parted the draperies and advar-ed into dark i,,ws s. thick th:!t there might as well have been night outside instead of glowing daybreak. Then, with eyes becoming accustom ed to the change, he made out shapes and masses that told him he was iu the dit nig room. Over ncrss from the window stood a door, its oMong dimly luminous with light softly shining down the walls of a private hall from a point some dis tiMwe to the left. Koundirig dining table. P. Sybarite stole softly on and paused, listening, jiist within the thn-shold. I'rom some uncertain quarter, pre sumably the lighted ro.m. he could hear a sound, very slight, so slight that It s-emed guarded, but none the less unmistakable the hiss of carbonated wM-r squirting from a siphon into a glass. Ceasing, a short wait followed and then a faint "A-nli!" of satisfaction, with the thump of a glass set down upon some hard surface. And at nfc soft footfalls became pudible in the private hull, shuffling bn-k toward the dining room. Instinctively the little man drew brn k. regretful now that lie had yield en in Peter's prejudices against londed pistol, retreating1 sideways along the w;;i until lie find put the bulk of a massive buffet between him and the do.r. Tli fi"ttep ramr no further than th'- dining room, then died out for what seemed full two minutes, a pause as ii!egi'!' to his understanding as t!i-ir manifest stealth. Sudd. -lsly and more confidently the frtfalls turned into the dininc room, and without a g':in-e right or left man s:ro'ie directly to the open win dow. There f r uu instant he delayed with an eye to the crack between the curtains, then, reassured, thrust one nide and stepped into the embrasure, there to linger with his head out of the window, intently reconnoiterinc long enough to enable P. Sybarite to make jin amazing discovery. The man was li"t Bayard Shaynou! It Mas lted No vember. What P. Sybarite would have done bnd he !eon armed is problematical. "What he did was to remain moveless, veil as he was breathless and power less but for his naked hands either for offense or defense, for that November v as armed was as unquestionable as mastery of. the long barreled re volver of blue steel, favored by gun men of th underworld, which lie held Mt poise all the while be carefully sur veyed his line of retreat. At length, releasing the curtain, the gang leader hopped lightly out upon the jrrating and disappeared down the iron staircase, watched from above by I. Sybarite. Thta the liule uiau ran back through DAY OF DAYS By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE Cp7rlf ht, 1712, lj tfce Prank A. Mnosey C. the dining room aud down the private hall, abandoning every effort to avoid a noise. No need now for caution if his pre monition wasn't worthless if tbe vengeful spirit of Mrs. Inche had not stopped short of embroiling sou and father, but had gone on to the end. What he saw from the threshold of the lighted room was liayard Shaynon still in death upon the floor, one tem ple shattered by a shot tired at close range from a revolver that lay with butt close to his right hand, carefully disposed with evident intent to indi cate a ease of suicide rather than of murder But eTen a most casual. suorticiHl inspection should sutlice to convince even-one prone to precipitate conclusions that Bayard Shaynon had never died by his own hand. The rooms had been most thorough ly, if hastily, ransacked. In search. I. Sybarite didn't for an instant doubt, of evidence as to the relations between Shaynon and Mrs. Inche calculated to prove incriminating at an inquest, though the little nuin entertained even less doubt that lust for loot had like wise been a potent motive to influence November. He found proof enough of this in the turned out pockets of the murder ed man: in the abstraction from the liosoiu of his shirt of pearl studs which P. Sybarite had noticed there within the hour: in the abraded knuckles of a finger from which a conspicuous soli taire diamond in massive antique set ting was missing: in n pigskin bill fold, empty, ripped, turned inside out and thrown uiiou the floor not far from the corpse. Not. however, with any notion of concerning himself with the assassin's apprehension and punishment did P. Sybarite waste that moment of hasty survey. His eyes were only keen and eager to descry the yellow Western Union message, and when he had look ed everywhere else his glance dropped to his feet and found it there, a torn and crumpled envelope, with its en closure flattened out and apart from it. This last he snatched up. but the en vekqe he didn't touch. 4iaving boen quick to remark the print upon it of a dirty thumb, the counterpart of which decorated the face of the message as well. "And a hundred more of 'em proba bly." P. Sybarite surmised as to the number of finger tn::r!;s left by No votnler. "enough to hang him ten times over, which I hope and pray they don't before I finish with him." lie turned back to the hall door, lis tening an instant, gently opened it. with his handkerchief wrapped around the brass doorknob to guard against clews calculated to involve himself, whether as Imputed principal or casual witness after the fact. The public hall was empty, dim with the light of a single electric bulb and still as the chamber of death that lay behind. Never a shadow moved more silently or more swiftly than I. Syba rite when he had closed the door up the steps to Peter Kenny's rooms. Briefly P. Sybarite told his story. "Well, but the telegram?" Peter In sisted. "Does it helj' tell you any thing? It's maddening to think Ma rian may v in tbe power of that blood thirsty'" . "Wait. I've had time only to run an ye through this. Let me get the sense of it." Peter feering over his shoulder, the two conned the message in silence: Red November's Work. Ctvar-4 S5Bwi. llon.tstery Apartments, West Forty-third.

"It's as plain a the face va you. Pe ter Kenny. Why. all along I've had an indefinite notion that something of the Oil Al rt was what they wci" tre wing! Don't you see "private su:v-oriuui?' What more proof do you need of a plot to railroad Marian to a private in stitution for the insane? "Legal for malities can wait, as you suggest' of course! They hadn't had time to cook up tbe necessary paers. to sulorn medical certiGcates and purchase a commitment paper of some corrupt judge." "The dogs!" Teter Kenny growled. "But consider how they've been served out thunderbolts justice from the very skies! All except one. And." said 1'. Sybarite solemnly, "(lod do so to me and more also if he's alive or outside bars before this sun sets!" "Who?" "November!" "What can you do to him?" "To begin with, beat hint to that asylum. Fetch me the suburban tele phone directory." "Telephone directory?" "Yes!" I. Sybarite raved. "What else? Where is it? And where are your wits?" "Why. here" Turning, Teter took the designated volume from its hook beneath the wall instrument at the very elbow of I. Sybarite. "I thought." he commented mildly, "you had all your wits about you and could see it." "Hon't be impudent." grumbled P. Sybarite, rapidly thumbing the pages. "Westchester." he muttered, adding: "Osoahana II Ha Had " "Are you dotty?" "Look at that telegram. It's dated from Osca liana. That's somewhere in Westchester, if I'm not mistaken. Yes. here we are: II-a-y llaynes' Private Sanatorium number. Osca nana one nine. You call "em." "What shall I say?" "Where's that cartridge clip you took away from me? Cive it here. And I want my money." "But," Peter protested in a daze, handing over the clip and watching P. Sybarite rummage in the buffet draw er wherein he had cached his winnings before setting out for the Bizarre "but what da you want me to" "Call up that sanatorium: find out if Marian has arrived. If she has threaten with fire and sword, and all that sort of thing, if they don't release her hand her over to me on demand. If she isn't, make 'era understand I'll dynamite the place if they let Novem ber bring her there and get away be fore I show up. Tell 'em to call iu the police and pinch November on sight. And then pet a lawyer and send him up there after nu And then set the police after November. Tell 'em you heard the shot and went down the lire escape to investigate what the trouble was. I'm off." The door slammed on Peter as be wilderment In the hall, savagely punching the elevator bell. P. Sybarite employed the first ivswt of an enforced wait to return the Hi: of cartridges to its chamber in the butt of Mrs. Inche's pistol. As the elevator reached the street level there sounded from a distance down the street a noise the like of which he had never before heard, a noise resembling more than anything else in his experience the almost si multaneous detonations of something like half a dozen firecrackers of sub cannon calilKT. Without understanding this P. Syba rite found himself in the street. At the curb his hired car waited, its motor purring sweetly, but its chauf feur missing. The innn was affection ately embracing a lamppost three or four doors in the direction of Sixth avenue. "Here!" cried P. Sybarite indignant ly. "What's the matter with you?" The man showed him a face pale with cxciterient: recognized his ein p'oyer. but made no offer t stir. "Come!"' P. Sybarite insisted irasci bly. "I've no time to waste. (Jet move on you, man!" But as he spoke his accents were blotted out by a repetition of that por tentous noise which had saluted him a moment since. His eyes, veering inevitably toward the source of that uproar, found it quickly enough to see short, vicious jets of flame licking out against the gloom of an open garagedoorway near ly opposite the Hippodrome stage en trance something like a hundred feet down the street. "Cang fight." his man informed him briefly. "Fly cops cornered a bunch of 'em in November's garage" 'Whose garage?" "Bed N"oveiuler's: C.uess you've heard of" him?" the man pursued ea gerly. "That's right he runs his own garage taxis for Dutch House souses, y tin no" "Wait!"' P. Sybarite interrupted. "Let me get this straight." Stimulated by this news, his wits comprehended the situation at a glance. At the side of his chauffeur, he found himself in line with a number of that spontaneous class which at the firt hint of sensation springs up from no where in the streets of Manhattan. L'arly as was the hour they were al ready quite fifty strong, and every minute brought re-en f reorients strag gling up from Fifth avenue. But tlx lamppost still a mute, in sensate recipient of the chauffeur's amorous clasp marked a boundary be yond which curiosity failed fo allure.

"I seen 'em atickin' around while yon was inside an', was won.derin what they was after when all of a sudden 1 sees No vember duck up from the basement next door to the Monastery, and they tries to Jump him. That ain't two minJ utes ago. November dodges, pulls gun and fights 'em off until he can back into tbe garage." "Anybody hurt yet?" P. Sybarita risked. "Not that I know anythln" about" "But what do you suppose makes em keep that door cpen? You'd think" "'The way 1 figure It." tbe ebanffeur cut In. "Bed's plannin' to make his getaway In a car. He's just waltin till the goin" looks good, and then he'll sail outa there like a streak of greased lightnin. Yun wanta be ready to duck. too. 'cause he'll come this way. an keep guns goin to prevent any body from hinderin him." "Why this way? Sixth avenue'a nearer." "Sure it is. but that way he'd har them L pillars to duck, to say nothin of the crowd, and no tellin' but what ; a surface car might block him." 1 From the dark Interior of the be- t sieged garage another automatic flut tered briskly; across the street a win dow fell in. "Look here you come with me." said P. Sybarite suddenly, plucking his chauffeur by the sleeve. With a reluctant backward glance the man suffered himself to be drawn apart from the crowd. "now much nerve have you got?" the little Irishman demanded. "Who me? Why?" -I want to prevent thfs getaway." "Not for mine, friend." The chauf feur laughed scornfully. "1 ain't lost no Bed November gang!" "Will $1,000 make you change your mind?" "Lead, me to the coin." was the prompt decision. "Here, then!" P. Sybarite delved hastily Into trousers pocket and produced a hand ful of bills of large denominations. "There's n $"jX bill to start with." he rattled, stripping off the first that fell to his fingers, "and here's a hun dredno. here's another five." "In the mitt." the chauffeur stipulat ed simply, extending Lis palm. "Either you're crazy or I am. but in the mitt, friend, aud I'll run the car right into that garage, 't you say so." "Nothing so foolish as that." P. Sybarite handed over the two bills and put away the rest of his wealth. "But Jump into that car and be reair to swing across the street and block 'em as they come." "You're on!" agreed the chauffeur with emotion, carefully putting his money away. "And a thousand more" his courage wrung this tribute from P. Sybarite's admiration "if you're hurt" "You're on there, too. and don't think for a minute I'll letcha fergit, neither." Dizzy Head Fluttering Floating Specks.
