Seeing his visitors. he called out TO
Hendricks: @ s. %...: z...:>
"oh, hello, here you arel How goes
it?" -.~ ~ r..
$50 as to be about, I guess said
Hendricks, extending his hand. -
Il heard some time ago that youwere
in the Gielow affair."" remarked the SER
geant, ''and then heard the report con-
tradicted."
"Oh, you mean the Caruthers case,"
said Hendricks, with emphasis on the
name, as he introduced pr. Lampkin.
The officers eyes did not leave Hen
dricks' face as he shook hands with the
doctor and mumbled something indis-
tinctly.
II see," he said to the detective, "you
object to the use of Gielow's name. Eh,
boys" he turned to three of his sub
ordinates in the other room, "did you
catch on to that? The great High
Mucky Muck of New York detective
circles thinks we are too previous"
The three young men laughed hearth
ly, and Hendricks slowly winked the
eye which was next the doctor and just
out of the sergeant's line of vision.
Don't name the kid before it's born"
he said. IF it were to turn out that
Gielow is innocent, you would feel
cheap"
'If, yes, it," replied Denham, knock
ing his heels together and putting at
his cigar, and thereupon his allies unit
ed in another chorus of merriment.
II heard the night the severed hand
was discovered that you were on the
spot nosing around after job" The
sergeant said this with a grin. Hen
bricks, I'll bet you thought at first
that the heiress would put up a big price
to run the murderer down."
Hendricks assumed lifel:ke express
sion of embarrassment. He took out
his handkerchief and blew his nose till
he was red in the face. Denham pointed
at him, and his companions entered the
room and stood round smiling.
II hit you there, old man." said Den

ham: But later when you found out
that Gie)ow had fl "a. and that the heir
ess was soft on HIN, you knew the bot
tom had fallen ont OF your prospect, 90
you gave up and haven't had the heart
to go near your office for the last five
days."
How do you know that" questioned
the detective, with well-assumed start.
"Whep my men have nothing to DC. I
let them amuse themselves in gratifying
my natural curiosity"
Spying on nv movements" grunted
Hendricks, and there was much of genu-
me lrrepressible contempt in his tone.
You may cAil it t,at ii you v.,h,'
said Denham, patronizingly, and he
touched Hendricks arm. There is no
harm done, hone. } wish you we'll in
all you undertake, I'm sure. To tell the
truth. I'm rather sorry you are not
working on the case, for won't Get "a
much glory out OF it as if had a dis
tinguished rival.'
1t was now Hendricks turn. and
again he winked the eye next to the doc
tor.
Il don't see where the glory will come
in" he said. "Anybody could run down
a crazy man."
