Within th Toil, f 1 "Mr jrvlns: of Garson left the Irooiu deathly still. Pick turn ed to Mary and too Ler hand iu hi. Ills arm swept about her lu n protecting embrace just Ju tliue or s'ao would have fallen. A whisper camo from iicr gulvcriug Hp. Her face was close to Lis, else I.o wuM not Lave caught tbe uucertaia luuriuurln- The muscles of her face twitched. She rested suplm-ly atminst him as If loreft of any s:rcnlh of body or of soul. Yet, lu thd Intensity of her utterance, Iho feeble whisper struck like a shriek of horror. l I never saw any one killed be fore r tteforo he could utter the sooth Ins words that rose to his lips. Pic was Interrupted by a !:;rlit sound at the door, lustantly ho was all ulcrt to meet the exigencies of the situation. He stiKHl by the couch, bcnlius for ward a little as if in a post jrc of Inti mate fondness, lie heard the noise spile proseutly. now so near that he mud suro of being overheard, so at cn.v he spoke with a forced cheerful ness iu his Inflection. "1 tell you. Mary," he declared. VT erythlrs's kcIii to bo all right for you and ne. It was bully of you to come here to in UUe this." The slrl made no resioni. Pick, la nervous apprehension as to the Issue, ouht to brlns her to realization ct the new need that had coui upon thcux. "Talk to me." ho coiuunuded very ofily. "They'll lo hero in u uduuto. When they eotuc lu pretend you Jut-t camo hero ia ordei to meet me. Try. Mury. You must, dearest!" Then ucda hU voice ro to loudnesses ho loutlnuod: "Why, l'v Uva trying all day to se you, Aud juow hero we ero together, Jat as 1 was Utaulu to et really UKoour.tired. I Luov my fa ther will eventually" lie was interrupted by tho swift ftwtiuttti; epen of the hallway door. HurWe Mood Just within tbe library, a revolver pointed menacingly. "Hands up, all of you:" The inspec tor's voice fairly roared th command. The belligerent expression of his face vanished abruptly as his eyes fell on Pick sdaudtutr by th couch and Mary rvcltntnx there in limp helplessness. "What are you doing la this house at this time of tiicht?" Pick demanded. "1 recognlw you. Inspector IUirk. Put you must understand that there rc limits even to what yon can dv It seems to me, sir, that you exceed your authority by such nu iutruslon as this." Hurke waved tls revolver toward Mary. "What's she doing here?" he nsked. "You forget yourself. Inspector. This Is my wife. Sbo has the right to be with me her husband!" "Where's your father?" he questioned roughly. "In bed. naturally." was the answer. I ask you cgain. What are you dotes here at this time of nlghtV "Oh. call your father, Burke di rected. "It's late," Pick objected. "I'd rath er not disturb him. if you don't mind." Suddenly ho smiled very wiuninsly and spoke wifa a good assumption of ingenuousness. "Inspector," ho said briskly, "I see I'll have to tell you the truth. It's this: I've persuaded my wife to go away with me. She's goins? to give all that other sort of thlus up. Yes, we're going away together. So. you see, we've got to talk it over. Now, then, inspector, if you'll come back in tho morning" As he spofce V2 white brnra of the CasLIns searchlight frotu the tower fell Wtween the undrawn draperies of the octagonal window. Tho light star tled the Inspector again, as it had done once before thut same night. His gare followed It Instinctively. So within tbe second ho saw the still form lying there ou the floor. Thero was no mistaking that awfaU motionless, crumpled posture. The In spector leaped to tho switch by the door and turned on the lights-of the chandelier. Ip the next moment he had reached the door of the passage across the room, and It's whistle sound ed shrill. H's voice bellowed re-enforcement to the blast. "Cassldy! Ctsjidr!" Cassldy came rushing in with tho other detectives. "Why, what's it all mean, chief?" be questioned. "They've got Griggs!" Hurke answer ed. There was exceeding rsgo In voice ns he sitoke from his kneeling post 'ire beside tho body, to which ho had hurried after the suiimons to his aids. Til break you for this. Cas sldy." he declared tlcrecly. "Why tlidn't you get here cva tbe run when you heard the shot?" "Hjt thern wnu't any shot. I tell you. ctief. tbeie hssa't beeu a sound. Kurke rose to his feet Ills heavy face was set lu Its Meruest mold. "You could drive a hearse through the hole they made in him. said Cas sldy. nnrke wheeled on Mary and Pick. "So," he shouted, "now It's murder! Well, hand It over. Where's the gun?" lie nodded toward Dick as he gave his order. "Search hliu!" Pick took the revolver from fcls pock et and held it out. At this Incriminating crisis for tbe son the father hastily strode into the library. He had been aroused by the Inspector's shouting and was evidently greatly porturUxl. "What's all this?' ho exclaimed. Iurke lu a tuomeut like this was no respecter of persons. "You can see for yourself." he said grimly to the dutnfoundod magnate. Sv no went cn, with soiuIkt men ace ta his voice. you did It, young man." He nodded toward the detec-, tire. "Well. Cns&idy, you can take 'em both downtown. That's l" Th command aroused Pick to re- TV-- f d "Hands upt All of youl monstrance against such Indignity t ward tie woman he loved. "Not her!" he cried imploringly. "You vlou't want her, inspector! This is all wron;'" "Pick " Mary advised quietly, "don't talk, please. "What do yon expect? Hurke la qnlred truculently, "As a matter of fact, the thing's simple enough, young man. l!lther you killed tfrtfgs or M divk" Tho ir.s;ecior with his charge made a careless ;estui towaixl the cone of th murdcrwl Mool pigeon. Kdward Glider KH'ked and saw the jthastly, i: animate heap of CesU ami bene that had one beeu a man. He fairly reeled 5 "You could drive a htarsa through tho holo thoy made in him." at the spectacle, then fumbled with en outstretched hand until he laid hold on a chair, into which Le sank helplessly. "Kit her you killed him," the voice repeated gratiugly, "or 6he did. Well, iiiiu. roving man. did sho kill him?" "Good God, not" XsiCk. shouted, aghast "Then it was you!" "No. no! He didn't!" Mary's words came frantically. 2'urke reiterated the accusation. "One of you killed Griggs. Which ono of you did it?" He scowled at Pick. "Pid sho kill him?" "I told you no!" "Well, then," he blustered to the girl, "did he kill him?" The nod of his Lead was toward Pick. Then as she remained silent, "I'm talking to yeu!" he snapped. "Pid he kill him?" The reply camo with a soft distinct ness that was like a crash of destluy. "Yes." Pick turned to his wife in reproach ful amazement. "Mary!" he cried incredulously. "You'll swear Lo killed him?" Durke asked briskly. "Why not?" she responded listlessly. At this intolerable assertion as Le deemed it Kdward Gilder sat rigidly erect in his chair. "God!" he cried despairingly. "And that's your vengeance!" "I don't want vengeance now!" she sold. "But they'll try my boy for murder," the magnate remonstrated, distraught. "Oh, no, they can't!" camo the re joinder. "What's tho reason we can't?" Burke stormed. "Because ray husband merely killed a burglar. He shot him in defense of his home!" In his ctfice next morning Inspector Burke was fuming over the failure of his conspiracy. He had ho pod thjOliSLU this plot toTlndicate his au . , :v. r7 y r A thority, so sadly flaunted by Garson and Mary Turner. Instead oX this much to be desired result from his scheming the outcome had been noth ing less than disastrous. Some one had murdered Griggs, the stool pigeon. The murder could not go unpunished. The slayer's identity must bo determined. To the discovery of this identity, the inspector was at the preseut moment devoting himself by adroit questioning of Pacey and Chi cago Bed. w ho had been arrested in one of their accustomed haunts. "Come across now!" he admonished. His voice rolled forth like that of a bull of Bashan. He was on his feet, facing the two thieves. His head was thrust forward menacingly, aud his eyes w ere savage, "I don't know nothlnT' Chicago Bed's voice was between a snarl and a w hlne. "Ain't I beeu telling you that for over an hour?" Burke gave Pacey. who chanced to be the nearer of the two. a shove that sent the fellow staggering halfway across the room under Its impetus. "Pacey, how long have you been out?" "A week." "Want to go back for another stretch?" "God, no'. "Who shot Griggs?" The reply was a chorus from the two: "I don't know honest, I don't!" In his eagerness Chicago Bed moved toward his questioner. "Honest to Gawd. I don't know notb in about it!" The inspector's Cst shot out toward Chicago Bed's Jaw. The thief went to his knees under the blow. "Now, get up und talk!" Burke's voire came with unropontaut nolsiuess against the stricken man. Crlngingly Chicago Bed obeyed as far as the getting to his feet w-as con corned. While he got slowly to his foot he took care to keep at a respect ful distance from the c'tkial. Cassldy entered the Inspector's ofllce to announce the arrival of the district attorney. "Send lra in." Burke directed. He made a gesture toward th doorman and added. "Take Vm back." "I eauie as S'ou ns I got your mea age," the district attorney said as ha seated himself in a chair by the desk. "Aud I've sent word to Mr. Glider. Now, theu. Burke, let's have this thing quickly?" The inspector explanation was con cise; "Joe Garson, Chicago Bed aud Pacey, along with Griggs, broke into Kdward Glider'a house l.ist nlsht. I tuew the trlv k was going to be pulled off, and o I plautcd Cassldy and a couple of oth er ineu just outside the room where the haul was to bo trades Thru went away, and after something bk half an hour I came back to make th arrests myself. When I broke into th room I found young Glider alone with that Turner woman he married, and they were just talking together. "I found Griggs lying ou the floor dead! The Turner womau Kays young Gilder shot Griggs because he broke into the house Ain't that the limit?" "What docs the boy say?" "Nothing. We've got Chicago Bed and Pacey. and we'll have Garson be fore the day's over. And, oh. yes! TheyVe picked vp n young girl at the Turner woman's place. And we've got one real clew for once!" He opened a drawer of the desk and took out Gar sou's pistol, to which the slleucer was still attached. "Yon never saw a gun like that be fore, eh?" he exclaimed. Deuiarest ad mitted the face "I'll bet you never did! That thing on the end Is a Maxim silencer. There are thousands of them in use on rifles, but they've never leeu able to use them on revolvers before. That thing Is absolutely noiseless, I've tried it. Well, yon see, it'll be an easy thing easiest thing in the world! to trace that silencer attachment.
