I led rare that I nm voicing the thoughts ol everyone present when I say that we, as tne rulers of this I country, owe a lasting debt of gratitude to you, Mr. Chip head. Now. please.” The Becrct Service free lance took up his tale un ruffled. “One of the reasons why I have hazarded the guess that Jarvis Stark Is mad,” he re sumed, “is because, my cousin being a father well-known alienist on t ic other side, I have her‘ti ublc to dabble somewhat extensively in the subject myself. Of course, I d » not pretend to be a mental specialist, but Jarvis Stark during the past few weeks has afforded me many glimpses into bis mind; there ; were certain unmistakable signs. . . . "But, gentlemen, T will not weary you with information that really belongs to a metii- j cal textbook, and which you v/ill hear later from your own experts. Instead I will come to facts. “Naturally, when my friend B»c Robert Heddingley asked me some weeks ago to give him what help might be pos sible in this perplexing af fair, which had already as sumed very grave propor tions, I was anxious to do J what I could. That it was not an ordinary criminal with j whom v/e had to deal was ap parent. I early realised that the person directing this enm !> ugn oi systematic black uiail was a man highly placed Imnself. He was a man who moved in circles where the most exclusive information could be obtained. • inis conclusion was rorceu home to ire by the fact that, only a few hours after I had received Sir Roberts confi dence, a warning not to inter fere in the matter was de livered at my flat. ‘Callin'*, ot Scotland Yard the following day, I made a i other queer discovery.

I could not help noticing that the ma chine used for these reports was fitted with the type known as elite. Now, al though machines fitted with this type are very common in the United States, net many English business men cm- ' ploy them. E believe also that s.sch machines are not favored In your Government offices?” . The Home Secretary spoke for his colleagues. “That is so" “There were two other co incidences which made me | regard those reports with gome significance,” continued Chipstead. “One was that the letter w was out of alignment, 1 and the second that a green ribbon had been used ” He paused to look around the room, and then added: “In the unusual communication I received some hours pre viously the machine used had had been fitted with elite type, a green ribbon utilized, j and the letter w in the word * warning’ was out of align inenc. “If this story of mine was tiken from fiction instead of : real life,” said Chipstead, i*rter another pause, “you would all say that the detec tive in tite case had blundered In a miraculous fashion upon the very clue he wanted. But >*iy experience goes to show that in crime the most ob vious facts are generally the most misleading ones.

Five ikrw 0uae refuses were estab been ridiculous for me to have assumed that, in the whole of London, there was only one typewriter which could produce the similarities mentioned. “What interested me more than the typescript on his desk was Jarvis Stark him self. The man, I had always heard, was odd in his manner, but his behavior that morn ing was so peculiar that I could not help retaining the memory. “After leaving the building, an idea, so bizarre as to be credible in only the most sensational novel, came to me: what man in London was in a better position to become a blackmailer on a high plane than a Deputy Commissioner of Scotland Yard? “You gentlemen will re member the case of the Austrian Colonel Redl, who shot himself a few years ago,” went on the speaker, after astonishing the com pany with his last sentence. “Colonel Redl, you will re call, was a very highly placed officer in the Austrian In telligence, who used his po sition to sell his nation's secrets. I happened to be in Vienna at the time of his arrest, and it was through receiving a postcard from a friend now living in that city that the idea I have men tioned first assumed definite shape in my mind. “I had to keep this start ling suggestion entirely to myself; I dared not tell even Sir Robert. But during the weeks that followed I never allowed the possibility, that the man I was after might be Jarvis Stark, to escape my notice. “I will not waste time by narrating how I kept Stark under constant supervision, but after a while it became plain to me that he must be the directing force behind this gang of crooks. “It was an extraordinary discovery to make, but I waited because I wanted ab solute proof. Bit by bit I ob tained this, until it became perfectly clear that an out wardly respectable Deputy Commissioner of Scotland Yard was also an exceedingly dangerous criminal, who. within a few months, had gained such a hold over the Underworld that he was the recognized ‘big noise’ of crime. For the explanation of this phenomenon you must listen to your experts.” “Did the man Julil know who Stark really was?” asked a listener. “No. Stark used the deep , cunning of the unbalanced 1 man. No one employed by him succeeded in penetrating his disguise. His chief hold over those who worked under him was that he could utilize his power as a police official to have them arrested if they tried to trick him.” “And do you seriously think that it was Stark who hounded poor Ferraby to death?” the Premier in quired. "I nave no doubt, as i nave already said,” replied Chip stead, “that Jarvis Stark was the power behind this cam paign. He confined himself to blackmail, however. The scheme of attempting to ter- ; rorize the whole Government through the new disease be longed to Juhl.” The Home Secretary drum med with his fingers on the arms of the Qhair. “I think you will agree, sir,” he said, looking at the Prime Minister, “that it was a good idea in the circum stances to leave the investi gation in the hands of the lished. The state acquired 146,500 acres of gams lands and con tracted for 70,000 more. Game law penalties brought $154,730 from the prosecution of G,468 game law violators. Hunters in the state killed game valued at $20,000,000 during the year and trappers secured $5,000,000 worth of fur-bearing animals. Living Proof. From Hummel, Hamburg.

Ilcdding ley, we are muen inuebted to you.” “There's the man who must | have the credit,” the Secret • Service chief replied, point ing to Chipstead. “As a matter of fact, I was com- ! plctely in the dark myself | principally because I was given so little information which was of any value.” The Prime Minister rose. “We will not pursue the subject further,” he an nounced; “the affair has been exceedingly unpleasant. Once again, Mr. Chipstead, allow me to thank you on behalt of the Cabinet.” “There are just three things I should like to know, Chip stead.” Creighton and the Secret Service free-lance were walking down White hall. “The first is, why did Stark kill Sir Simon Baste?” “Because the millionaire refused to pay him black mail. Baste had had a very speckled past, but he felt himself to be sufficiently strongly entrenched in the good opinion of his fellow men to resist the demands. But in the end he paid— with his life.” "And do ycu trunk that Juhl first approached me be cause he wished to have a catspaw for murder?” ‘‘Quite likely. In fact, look ing back, that is the most probable reason why he tele phoned you. Of course”— with a grim smile—“he never intended to pay you that live thousand pounds.” ‘‘Why did Stark betray him self in his own house?” ‘ Because he must have had a sudden brain stcrm. His plans had miscarried, he knew the end was approach ing, and seeing you was the final straw. But why worry? The gang is broken up now, and you are a free man. The girl Xavia is to be deported, and the scandal of Hathway Steers will be hushed up. I had the news this morning that he died from a heart at tack. There would seem to be nothing to prevent ycu now from being quite happy. Two hours later Creighton walked with Margery Steers in the peaceful garden of Roughmoor. As they turned the corner^ the sun came out from be hind a cloud and shone full upon them. To them both, as they stood silent, it was a symbol: from the darkness they had passed into the light.
