 q have warrant for your arrest" Draper replied, watching her sharply. She paled to the temples. "For con spring to rob the bank, you know, and receiving stolen property" he con- tinued. Morris has given it all up--to save himself, you know. We were hot on the trail, and they promised mercy to him if he would tell the name of his confederate. So he did, that's all.'' sThe cowardi" she hissed.
 s'Yes, I know,'' responded Draper, cheerfully. ..sAnd now about the money.
 We will take that along"
 No, you won't--it is not here," she
 responded, in triumphant tone. But
 she started involunt tarily toward cor ner. Quick as a flash Draper's eye
 measured the spot.
 "Well, come along" Draper said,
 carelessly, after a moments survey.
 You don't propose to make fuss, do you?"
 No, she would come along peaceably.
 As we stepped into the cab Draper sud-
 denly slipped a pair of handcuffs on
 her wrists and snapped them shut. AllnU her d nS SalS, WullG I get the money" and he was gone. She grew purple with anger and made
 to start after him. 1t was all I could l do to hold her in the cab until he re- turned. She bit and kicked like ma- l niac. Tn a few minutes Draper re-
 turned with a great bundle.
 T think it's all here, with the pack ages unbroken,' he said. Rather ex- pensive carpet lining, madam She glared at him and replied:
 sYou're devil.''
 Now to the banks he said. rubbing 1 his hands.
 Cashier Morris still lay ill the di-
 rectors' room. Draper sent me ahead l to see to it that the door was open and that Morris was awake and facing 1 the door As he brought the woman
 in he paused, quite by accident, before 1 the door of the room, seeing that her l face and her manacled hands were l turned toward it. As Morris saw her
 he turned white as sheet and started to arise. The woman cast one scorn- l full look at him, then was hurried along
 to the presidents room.
 l Within an hour there were two con- l fessions, and Morris and the woman were lodged in jail.
 ssHow in the name of Beelzebub did
 you figure it out?' I asked, as we
 walked away from the bank with 1 Draper.
 "Oh, it was dead easy" replied he.
 "All that muss in the alley was done l with one pair of feet-except that Nor 1 aff ffa, a1-I Sh hal l to the president from his room and set l it around in the dirt few times, but l the weight of no human being ever rested on that shoe and besides, ] there was only left and no one l legged man committed the assault. All l the tracks fitted Norris shoes except l ing the few 'lefts' that fitted the pres 1 ident's, and there were scraps of fresh l dirt between the sole and upper of 1 the presidents shoe, and he had not ] worn it for weeks. Then the presi-
 dents left shoe was wiped clean, while l the right was covered with slight i layer of dust. I found them both in 1 the closet. Well, that was indicative l of something. Then some of the wounds were such as could hardly have
 been inflicted by an assailant. What i became of the money and why did the l cashier commit the crime? From the l clerks I ascertained that among oth-
 CT visitors received by Morris yester-
 day was woman whom he took into | his private office for long consulta- ! tion, a part of which at least was in
 angry tones by the woman. After
 wards her voice quieted, and when she ; Sh
 quite pleased. Also, she carried a ! bundle. Nobody reme embered if she
 had one when she came in. The mes {! senger boy recollected that he had l been sent to the house of this woman
 several times with notes from Morris i and that her name was Myrtle Perry. i It did not take long to put two and
 two together, especially when 1 learned that the woman had no ac- l count with the bank and that no busi- l ness resulted from her visit. There's
 just one point not cleared up, but that l is simple, and I will attend to it to-
 morrow That is what Morris rela- I tions with the woman have been. I l did not dare to take the time to-day, l lest one of them escape or the money l should get away. By love, but he had
 nerve, though-and must have needed
 the money badly, judging from the
 wicked way he slashed himself"
 Just as we parted and I was voicing
 my admiration at his genius he bought
 an evening paper from boy and smil- l ingly pointed to an advertisement 1 signed by President Guilford, of the
 bank, offering a reward of $5,000 for
 the apprehension of the robber and
 $5,00O more for the recovery of the I money.
 l Guess he can't go back on that" he l remarked, flashing keen glance at me.
