Mr.. Gates gave these replies in an

himself was annoyed at his own want
of success. But he had got it into his
head that Mr. Gates was withholding
information he had it in his power to

MR.. GATES COMPLETES HIS ARRANGE
MENTS.
Mr.. Keighley Gates seemed somewhat
disturbed when Commander Brett had
left him. He walked up and down the
room impatiently, and from the mutt
tered expressions that occasionally fell
from his lips it could be gathered he
was cu1sing somebody, but whether it
was Brett, Fitzgerald or himself it was
impossible to say. At length he sat
down and finished a hearty breakfast.
At II o'clock he left the hotel in a
short jacket and bowler hat and made
his way east to the house where Mabel
Fenton was imprisoned. He worked his
way there by a particularly circuitous
route, employing trains, buses, ham
SONS and a steamer for his purpose, and

"A pretty bungle you have made Of

"What's the matter? Got the girl all

"Thought dissembled to euit occa-

Mr.. Gates bowed to the dubious com

! to the broken table. Then he commenced
to talk, and DR.. Fitzgerald was not far
l. wrong in lauding his generalship. In
his own crooked way the man was ter

!. So Mr.. Gates spent another hour With
Fitzgerald, making final arrangements
for the robbery, and he felt sure that
by the next morning he would be in a
position to meet his pressing necessities,
with surplus for future requirements.
