He is % years Of age, and il will be re-

Lieut. Rankin testified that Palmazino
told him he did not want TO go to the hos
pital because he did not think he would
get we'll Ihe witness and the deceased

CHAPTER XII.
PALISADE AVENUE.


GOOD morning, Mr.. Westcott. How
will you have this?'
In large bills, if you please.
"Hundreds?"
Thousands, if convenient"
The cashier passed out ten crisp bills
of the denomination named. 1 thanked
him, and, walking to the row of desks
outside. carefully placed them, without
crease or crinkle, within the folds of
my large pocketbook, which was showed
into my inner coat pocket and the three
buttons fastened over my chest Then,
cane in hand, l stepped out into the
street and once more walked toward
Broadway.
But changed my mind, wheeled and
came back.
AT the moment of turning some one
lodged into a saloon down the street,
as if seized with sudden thirst. l
caught only glimpse of the small,
well shaped leg, clothed in business
gray, as it whisked through the door.
II gave Covey Cone the slip once,
and he doesn't mean shall do it again. p"
Not wishing him to think suspected
anything, / passed up the street, turned
at the next block, and continued my
walk in the direction of Broadway.
If | intended to elude him, the job
would be difficult one. Had / felt cer-
tain that he could be trusted | would
have taken him partly into my conf
dence-that is, so far as letting him
know of the little game on hand, and
without any attempt to reveal my real
identity. But had no faith in him.
He believed, with good reason, that !
was "in" with the counterfeiters, and
any confidence on my part would be
taken as an effort to mislead him.
II he should shadow me. there was
no saying what complication would fol
low. 1t might upset all my plans, so
determined TO elude him, if it could be
done, and it seemed an easy task.
This time when the cable car halted /
! had companion who entered the door

DISCUSSES of that nature are effective,
but the boasts of officers that they can
so change their looks as to deceive in
the glare of sunlight is humbug. The
thing is impossible.
Convey Cone might have called into
play the utmost resources of his art but,
having sat face to face with him and
looked into his bright eyes. it would
have been impossible for him to hood
wink me. If he were on the same train,
he was not in the smoker, and / was so
sure that he was not fellow traveller
chat / die not take the trouble to look
into the other cars.
The run on the Northern road, with
one or two exceptions, is less than 30
miles, and since there are no western
connections the trains almost invaria-
bly, make exact time. As a consequence
our local line drew up at Englewood at
1918, which was one minute in ad-
vance Of schedule time.
Taking my place on the platform,
scrutinized every man and woman who
stepped off and went either to the wait
ing cabs, which whirled them away to
their homes, or who made their way
thither on foot. Convey Cone was not
among them.
And yet had / glanced at the other
side Of the train could not have failed
to sac that gentleman, who, observing
me on the watch, had plenty of time in
which to disappear behind the buildings
to the left so that when the cars moved
off he was invisible to me.
Convinced that / had given the de-
tective the slip and that he was to bear
no hand in the momentous events of the
evening, l sauntered TO the hotel, there
to await the time for my first move in
the business.
Meanwhile the officer, lingering un-
til was out of the way, passed by a
roundabout course to Palisade avenue.
the main street of Englewood, and en-.
tered the telegraph office, from which
he sent message in cipher to New
York. Then, without waiting for re-.
ply, he went to the hotel across the
street, where he, too. awaited the events
of the evening.
Two letters had come during NV ab.

us until his secrets were mine.
Ignoring his threat, | backed to a
chair and motioned him to take another.
81 Sit down. After we have finished
talking it will be time TO act. "
He breathed hard, and only by pro-
digious effort did he retain mastery Of
his passion. He was violent tempered
man and was so enraged that he longed
to chastise the life out Of me.
But he was after money and could
postpone his vengeance until it was in
his hands After that, look outl
He took the chair TO which / waved
him, crossed his muscular legs and with
his glittering eyes fixed upon me growl-
ed:
We'll, what have you to say?"
1T Is rather, What have you to say?
When l telegraphed you that had no
clear recollection o. ihe e.arts = which
you were interested, told you the
truth. To save my life could not re-
call your name. l sent my message TO
'Budd' at the Auditorium because / did
not know how else % address it. The
name Of Tom Discoe was gone as entire
ly from me as if / had never heard it
pronounced. Even now l cannot recall
the incidents that / know are in your
mind.
Nothing was clearer than that he did
not believe "A syllable Of this, but he
evidently concluded 10 wait.
How is it you came out to Engle-

"Why?"
Fl have intimated the reason. Last
week was violently thrown from my
horse while riding in the park. Since
then matters have been so confused in
my mind that the doctor told me / must
90 away for several weeks and take a
complete rest.
"Sort of queer that you fix upon En-
glewoodp' he sneered.
'And why?"
$50 handy.
$50 handy for what?"
Come now, that won't Go. I can
stand good deal, but you're piling it
on too thick.

understand what you mean"
Have you forgotten that IL is just
two miles from here to the Palisades of
