wotunn utfereil a faini cry thnt was
rather, a moan "iid shrank av.ay ns if
in mortal fe:-r. for the tall form, with
the face set ko sternly, was that of
AVainwr'.jrht. His voice came with a
dominant severity:
"What have we here?"
Marshall answcrtnl:

"He's a cracksman, r.ll risht." the

"Are you deaf?" the sleuth rasped.
"Well, if you want to know so bad."
he replied sWlcr.ly. "why, I'll just tell
you. My name's Creeiian. and I'm
from Chi'-apo."

tmmeliately he jrave his full attention

"Why should my wife give you

you! He strode to the thief and
caught him by the shoulder.
Kut aaln the detective was stayed
from his purpose by the command of
Waiuwrignt:
"Wait!"
Now finally excess of fear goaded
I. t'ccne to the bravery of despair. She
straightened, held forth her arms im
ploringly. "Cortland." she said faltering!.-, "I
beg you not to ask him any more iie
tio?is. I.et hiui go please! Oh. for
pity's Fake! 1 can't stand it! I"
She broke off. panting.
Her white face was drawn in agony,
for Wainwright gave no least heel
to her prayer. He contemplated the
thief and epoke quietly.
"Who sent you here?"
"Aw, nolKHly sent me, the man re
p"ied fJippantly. "'I was Invited."
"ry whom?" Wainwright persisted.
Ask the lady." Creegan's grin was
frozen by the cold fury of the hus
Vand's low spoken phrase: .
"You lie!"
"I do. do I?" he sneered. "Well, jnt
take it front me. 1 don't. I knew her
n loi:g time before you over did. I'i:e
that, mister! Aw. say! Ion't kid
yourself. What was she doin' down
stairs by the safe at 2 o'clixk in the
moruin'? Eh? Havni' a cup of tea?
null!"
Wainwrlsht was dead white from the
fury of his passion. Wis hands
clinched.
"Take him away!" he ordered.
The wife dared a forlorn hope, cry
ing out her plea wildly:
"Oh. Cortland! Let him go!"
Wainwrient repeated his command.
Take him away!"
Waii wright's face had settled into a
mask of coldness as he turned to ad
dress his wife. r.ut lefore he could
speak his intention wa.s halted by the
surprising change thrt came over her
within an Instant. Where she had been
shrinking, pallid, seeming even near
to collapse from the misery that af
flicted her. she now suddenly stood
alert'y rprfcrbt. and a color burned hot
lr in her cheeks, and her eyes, filmed
by sua ring ucrore, snone In taeir fud
violet ntdluiice. unveiled again. Her
hands were abruptly reached forth in a
gesture of welcoming. Wainwright, fol
lov.ing the movement of her arms,
took in the figure of Andrew, star. ding
motionless just within the doorway of
the library. At sight of him there was
a harder compression of Wainwiight's
Hps. His voice, as he spuke, was
suave.
"Ah. I was expecting yen.'
Andrew was undaunted.
' Pardon : cae, sir, but may I a.dj a
question?" lie inquired.
"Oh. certainly," Yt'aiawright retorted.
'Io you intend sending to prison the
man whom Mr. Marshall just cap
tured?"
Tiefore Wainwright could answer the
question put by the Master Mind there
came an interruption by Luceue. It
was despair that found tongue.
"Mr. Andrew. Mr. Andrew, what
have you done 1o me?" she wailed.
"Oil. what Lave you done?" Her voice
broke in a Ftorm of sobbing.
If a plight shiver touched the man
under the cla:-p of the girl's h-uids it
was imperceptible, arrested ere it be
gan by the iron sway of his "will. He
spcLe gravely.
"Mr. Yfaiuivriglit will excuse mo, 1
knov. ir 1 say that 1 uiuFt speak with
you alone." he said to Wainwright.
At this saying Luceue luted her
head nid starod desperately iuto tlje

with a swiftness of movement utterly
unlike his tsual i !acid:ty of behavior,
darted to the d or an 1 shut it. Then
he faced his employer, standing fully
erect, a Emile of triumph bending his
lips, at last. The huiaihty "of the
trained servitor was vanished. In its
place was a dominant personality, bold
ly proclaimed.
Wainwright met the transformation
fairly.
"Well, Mr. Allen?" he remarked.
IIi3 tone as he spoke the name that
explained his knowledge of the other's
identity was a challenge.
"That is quite correct." Andrew re
plied, with an enigmatic smile. "In
cidentally this is the lirst time in twen
ty years that 1 have been addressed by
my own name."
"The full name is Ilichard Allen. I
believe?"
"Precisely."
"Alias, the Master Mind?"
"I believe that name has leen given
to me by some,' Andrew replied, with
unconcealed egotism. "I might even
ay by many."
"It i rather an ostentatious title."
Waiuwright commented indifferently.
"At least, it is net of my choosing."
was the retort. "I merely adopted it
aft'T it had been given me by others."
"You had a brother." Wainwright
suggested.
A spasm of emotion contracted the
features of the other.
"My brother." he said in a hushed
voice, "was Henry Allen, whom you
pent to the chair. You you!" The
fury of hate vibrated in the voice.
"No." Wain wright declared stern
ly; "not I, but the law."
Andrew shook his head.
"You!" he repeated, with the empha
sis of a supreme w rath.
Wainwright disdained insistence.
"May I ask why you so constantly
reminded me ef your enmity through-

out all this time since the trial of your
brother, which, one might suppose,
would have no other effect than to put
me on my guard?"
Andrew admitted the implied state
ment as to Waiuwright's freedom from
I etty cowardice.
"Exactly," he agreed. "I meant it
to put yon on your guard." Again he
revealed his massive egotism. "To
one Tich as I there could be no tri
umph in victory over a sleeping vic
tim." "Triumph!" Wainwright repeated
the word thoughtfully. To his logical
mind the Inference was precise. "Then
you think that you have triumphed?"
"Yes," came the confidential reply.
"Indeed!" The ejaculation of the
word was replete with skepticism.
Andrew responded with fierceness.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Wainwright!" he
cried savagely, "it is well that you
should understand the truth at once.
This night you are delivered into my
hands, bound and helpless into my
hands!"
"Yery well." Wainwright ' returned
calmly. "in that case suppose you
give id" the details." There was to
him a considerable relief in the arrival
of this hour when there must be ex
plicit evil, something real and tangi
ble, in the plead of vague, imaginarj
horror, of the sort that had striven to
haunt lun since the receipt of the firsi
white card.
Andrew grinned malevolent iy.
"With pleasure!" he declared. There
could be no doubt as to the sincerity
of joy with which he pronounced the
trite phrase. It summed the culmina
tion of weary years through which hs
had toiled for hate's sake to this end.
Yet he hesitated still for a little before
he began the elucidation of hi schem
ing to compass the ruin of the man be
fore him. "For every human action
worthy of th-j mine, Mr. Wainwright."
he sail nt last, speaking with a new
formality, "tin-re i a motive. Mine,
as you u)u?t already understand, was
Jo avenge the death of my brother at
your hands."

"At the bands of the law." he said
quietly, yet de'en:.;:i'd'y.

for no fault, was condemned to die I

continued, in a colorless voice of re
pression. "I swore then to make you
suffer as Le had as I had. You pre
fjented to me a very difficult case."
Andrew continued. "You were rich,
honest, intelligent. You did not t-pcr

most scrupulous. For a time. I con

went abroad. It was a simple thine
for me with my resources to gain ac
cess' to your apartment. I went there
and made it my dwelling place until I
had gained ail that I needed. I search
ed your private papers. One day 1
noticed in your study a portrait the
face of a young girl. It was done
rather crudely, perhaps, but it was
done with sincerity and with a certain
effectiveness. I found also some en
tries in an old journal which explained
that face. Then I began to hope. We
searched, you and I, for the same girl,
and I found her. I found that the cir
cumstances of this girl, who was the
original of the portrait and of the en
tries in the journal, were ideal for my
purposes. The essential thing is this:
I desired you to marry her. In order
to bring that to pass certainly it was
necessary to prepare her, by education
and experience of the world, to be
your fitting mate. That was done. In
fine, sir, you married her precisely as
I had planned that you should."
"Yes," Wainwright agreed heavily.
"I I married her. I understand. Go
on, please."
"And now," he went on, with a
drawling contentment in his utterance,
"you have just surprised her here in
the act of leaving the house with her
well, let us say, with the young
friend of her earlier days Creegan."
The voice of Wainwright came
roughly.
"What do you mean?"
Andrew's smile was taunting.
"It's clear enough. Isn't it?" he
jeered.
"Your In a gust of rage Wain
wright remembered the revolver offer
ed to him by Marshall that same even
ing and accepted. His hand went
swiftly to his hip fiocbet. There was
no responsive coutact with the weapon.
As he stood astonished Andrew's
voice sounded again with a vast cu
tertainiuent derived from the circum
stance.
"Your servant. Parker my servant
Parker is reallj- very capable. You
did not observe when he thoughtfully
removinl the weaioii Mr. Marshall had
provided." Then abruptly tbe mock
ing tones were filled -with virulent
hatred.
