Ts While these were not conclusive, still they were sufficient to justify the immediate arrest of Fountain. when the facts necessary for proofs before the jury could be easily brought out by judiciouS inquiry
 To construct the chain of evidence which would convict Fountain in court was work for the authorities. not for him He had detected the criminal and that was all that could be demanded of him. and all that he had set out to do
 It was thus filled with triumph that he sought Hoibrook to consult with him as to the next step-the placing of all the facts before the district attorney To his surprise no less than to his indigna- tion, he found the lawyer ioath to go further in the matter
 So long as there was a question of doubt involved in the investigation. Hol- brook had been earnest and energetic, but now. when all question of doubt had vanished-when the identification was complete. he hesitated 'baulked." as Tom said. right at the finish.
 The fact that Flora Ashgrove would be inevitably drawn into the matter dis turbed Holhrook greatly While ail the tenderness with which he had formerly regarded her was wholly dissi pated. still 1t seemed horrible thing to him, that she should be dragged to the witness stand and compelled to give the evidence which would send to the gallows the man she lad shown she so deeply. and even wildly. loved He shraRk from the idea that he should be instrumental in putting her in such position

 To all Of this argument Holbrook had no reply. and Ire realized he could make none In the end. however he gave a reluctant consent that everything should be laid before tlIe district attorney but he positively refused to go with Tom to that official If he appeared at all in the matter it should only be as ag unwilling witness to tell how his suspicious of Fountain had been aroused and he sin cerely hoped that even that much would not toe required of him So Tom was compelled to go alone On hIs way he dismissed tlolhrook $ Scrupies as fanciful to the last degree. and busIed himself with the order of the narrative which he was to submit to the prosecuting officer
 On entering the office he saw the door Of the private room was closed and he was about to send in hls card when a voice called out from an ad joining room
 "Hallo. Toml Come m Where have you been this month of Sundaysy
 Tom passed into the room and saw an assistant of the district attorney. Tn the center of groupo of his fellow deputies |"
 'Is the chief engaged" asked Tom after saiutations
