III don't see that's Burrows was get
ting angry now. He did not relish beinj
thus chided before Lewis. But Mr.
Barnes did not appear to notice his ris
ing temper.
II suppose not. Like all young men
you do a wrong act and then, instead O
having the manhood to acknowledge
the error and in some way endeavor t.
atone therefor, you persist in defending
the course pursued. But you shall moi
make any more mistakes in this case.
From this moment you may consider
that you have no further connection
with it.
''What do you mean?"
1T mean that you VIII go back to
| Boston and remain there.
"And let you take all the credit for
my work, 1 suppose? Mr.. Barnes, you
are presumptuous.
81 am in charge of this case, and /
order you to have no more to do with
it,"
"What if I refuse?'
81 will dispatch a message to the
agency and request your recall"
''Do so if you wish Perhaps shall
send message also that will place a
different aspect ON what you ask them
to do. / have discovered the true Grim
iIal, and I doubt if shall be recalled
for so doing"
Mr.. Barnes stopped mcraent to re-
fleet. He did not wish to force Burrows
into any hasty action and preferred, if
possible, still to control him. So, aban-
doning for a moment his tone of COM
mand, he asked:
the affair, will you mind telling me
what you wish to do next?"
II believe that the evidence is all to
be given to the grand jury today. !
should go to Dover at once and relate to
them the facts which 1 have Just told
you"
''In other words, not satisfied with
the trouble which you have already
given to Miss Lewis, you will now 60
and obtain the indictment of her lover,
Notwithstanding the fact that he is in
nocent."
"Innocentr'
"Of course he is innocent. You have
proved it by your work. Only by your
delay you have lost all traces of the real
criminal.
But how can you say that he is in
nocent when l have proved that he came
here straight from the farm; that he
was recognized
by man who does not know him.
but here i'll his own house are signs
of his guilt - ...
Burrows, if this were not so serious
case, would let you have your way
and then, at the trial, show you what
an idiot you are. But as l wish, if pos
sible, to avoid any more mistakes, /
will show you how easy it is for me to
overtuIn your castles in the air. Ac-
cording to your latest theory, you make
Marvel commit murder and leave the
town on train which started from Lee
at 10:39 p. III. Now, Miss Lewis left
him across the river, went directly to
her room and reached there at 1920
p. m. Therefore it is plain that Marvel
has an easily proved alibi.'
Burrows flushed at this, but he was
not willing to give up his theory with
out one more struggle.
1.-THE only way in which he could
prove that would be by the testimony of
his accomplice, and"-
''Stopl For shame, Mr.. Burrows!
Would you resort to so base a thing as
SANDER simply to have the qualification
of finding criminal? To make your
chain complete, would you implicate
girl against whom you have not par
ticle of evidence?"
"She has confessed her share in the
crime"
'She is a noble woman and is trying
10 shield her lover from the mistakes of
such detectives as you are proving your
self to be. -
'You ought to go ON the STAGE"
sneered Burrows You would make
quite heroic actor, Mr. Barnes"
Come" said Mr.. Barnes sternly,
mo impertinence! Respect my age and
