behind him, dodging from tree to
tree and shadow to shadow, another
man who was evidently following the
stumbler.
The doctor drove on, thinking he
must have been mistaken as to the
drunken mans identity. But he was
not. 1t was Griswold; and when he
reached the Office of the iron works
he let himself in and turned on the
incandescent light, did this and
wheeled quickly to confront his pur-
suer on the threshold of the open
door.
For a fleeting half-second Girls
wold was startled, as anyone might
be. Then he saw that the incomer
was Griffin. So he greeted him
guardedly and waited to know what
the late visit purported.
Griffin seemed in no hurry to ex-
plain. On the contrary, he closed the
door carefully behind him, swapping
the catch of the night-latch as he did
it, though this Griswold did not
know. Next he drew down the win
dow shade and, wheeling out the
chair from GriswOld's desk, sat down
to clip the end from : very large ci-
gar.
Griswold had watched his move
ments, first in wonder and then with
chill frost of despair slowly freez-
ing him. For one brief instant he
glanced aside at the rifle hanging
upon the wall, but he quickly looked
away from it. and. to be the farther
from temptation, dropped into Ray
mer's pivot-chair and covered his
face with his hands. 1t had come.
81 guess you know what I'm here
for" said the detective, finally, when
the big cigar was we'll alight.
Griswold nodded.
Griffin smoked stolidly for a full
minute before he added: 1--WE had
devil of a time finding you; never
should have found you if you hadn't
gone of your head and got girl
crazy
This time Griswold made no sign.
Once again his eyes were marking
the exact distance Of the rifle on the
wall. \ silence surcharged with the
electricity Of possibilities settled
down upon the crampcd little room,
and when 10 became unbearable the
detective broke IL.

Then Griawnld spoke for the first
time, Its here la this plant, the
greater part of it,"

CHAPTER XXXIIT.

Ii was seven o'clock when Griswold
had finally fought his way out of the
turmoil OF conflicting doubts and dis
fractions, and had come to some
definite conclusion touching his duty.
In the light of a possible miscon-
struction of his words by Margery
there was nothing for it but to go
to her and have the doubt cleared
away before he should speak to Char
lotte. So much honor demanded; and
Griswold was not the man to shirk
where honor was involved.
But when he was closing Mrs. Hol-
combs front door behind him, the
Grierson footman opened the gate
and came up the walk with a note.
Griswold stepped within to read it
b. the hall light. 1t was from Mar
gerry, and while he could not help
smiling at the courageous naivete Of
it, it freed him suddenly from the
burden of doubt.
"You may think what you please Of me,
she wrote, but you are my ore real friend
IN all the world. You know what no one
else this side Of Colorado knows about my
1 D
but there is one other who should know
who must know And. oh, l can't ever tell
him! Won't you please do il for me2 You
needE't spare me In the least you know
"MARGERI."
Griswold ran up to his room, pen
eiled his answer on the back of her
note. reenclosing it in fresh enyel-
opc, and hastened down to give it
20 the waiting footman. Then he
walked quickly to the drug store at
the corner and called up the iron
works by telephone. Luckily Raymer
was there.
Going To stay little while, Ned?"
he asked.
The answer was in the affirmative,
and Griswold added but word "All
right, I'm coming over"
Fifteen minutes later Griswold
dropped from a car at the railway
crossing and made his way 20 the
office of the iron works. Raymer was
there, elbow-deep in his correspond
euce, but he swept the pile of letters
aside when his partner entered.
Good for you-come down 90 help
me out, have you?" he said, but Girls
wuld shook hia head

(riswold spread his hands. "There
is nothing to say-nothing that 1
think of. You have run me down,
AMI that's the end of it," But he
glinced once more at the rife.
Gritfin smiled. "The gun sort o.

jump quick enough to get the drop
OF me. You can do it if you want

Griswold's eyes began to grow
stely. Pardon me, but that was a
very foolish thing to do, Mr.. Griffin" 4"
"Recllon SOP"
''Very foolish. You lose sight of the
cost of this thing which you are here
to do; the cost, not to me, but to
others who are innocent"
Griffin smiled again. Hundred
thousand-dollar hold-ups are pretty
likely to be costly for somebody"
Yes. There may have been a time
when l should have given you the
key to my safety deposit box, but
that time is in the past. The money
is no longer in the bank; it is here
in this plant, and my arrest and con-
vittion will bring ruin upon my
friend"
'Well?" said the detective.

help me to decide a point-you've
had a good bit of experience, l take
it. If a professional highwayman
had robbed Mr.. Galbraith last spring,
would any considerable portion of
the-the swag, as you term it, be
recoverable now?"
The detective gave an ex parte
opinion. "Most likely not. It's easy
come, easy go, with that lot"
"Precisely. Then I'll make you a
proposal. Leave the recovery of the
money out of the question, and I'll
go with you peaceably and plead
guilty"
Griffin laughed outright. you're
a cool one" he said. What do you
take me for?"
For a wise man or fool, as the
event shall decide. Do you accept?"
Not much | DON'T"
"Then die!" yelled the man at bay.
launching himself like a stone from
a catapult on the detective.
The struggle was short and sharp,
and the battle was not to the strong.
Griswold was the heavier man, and
he had the strength of despair to
help him; but the detective was
1.-THE and wiry and able to match
strength with a willy cunning born
of many fierce encounter with des-
perate men. Back and forth in the
cramped office they reeled, locked in
a death grip and swaying and stun
bling as one man. But at the end
of it Griffin broke his antagonist s
hold, and there was a heavy fall,
with the detective uppermost.
Had enough" ?" he asked; and
when Griswold gave over he rose and
helped the beaten one to his feet.
Griswold set his teeth and held
out his wrists for the manacles.
Griffin swore gruflly and dashed the
blood out of his eye. He had struck
the corner of the desk in falling and
the cut was bleeding freely.
