when all hands are employed on the job
ITSELF
But what is this job?'' groaned Ak
erman. Are you dead sure that you
are on the right track?''
I'VE are sure of nothing In this world
but death and taxes said Boyd drily.
Yet If evidence is worth anything
and brains. shall-ah. but we shall
see"
Better make him wise to it, Felix
suggested Coleman. THE boys will
feel better IL they know just what they
are going up against"
Have you got them all together"
inquired Boyd.
Every man of them; six, besides
Alderman ana myself. They are wait
| ing at Claneey's house, one of the reg
uIars."
Very good" nodded Boyd. IT will
inform them when we arrive there"
Half an hour later, clad in the dry
garments which he had packed in his
grip. Boyd disclosed his suspicious to
the eight stalwart men placed at his
command by the central Office, and who
were then gathered at the Brooklyn
residence of one of their number. His
influence over men at such a time was
very strong, and while all recognized
the peculiar character of the incidents
he disclosed, a herein described, none
at once perceived their startling signi-
! fincant. oyd quickly observed this and
| FASTENED TO reveal HIS own shrewd de-
auctions.
"I am convinced, boys. that big job
lies back OF all this" said he Whether
/ am right as to its character. or right
at all. remains for us TO discover. Note
| the points in the case, as I run them
over. I have been closely Swallowed
since last Tuesday, and several at

I am seriously feared at just this time,
and probably by a gang Of criminals
whose operations I repeatedly have

There's little doubt Of that boys.

about the room.
''The wire calling me from town to-
day." continued Boyd. further shows
that this is the day on which they par

which strongly indicates that job OF
some kind il very near it's elimination.
That's reasonable enough" admit
ted Alderman. But how do you get
al the job itself, and when and where
IFS to be done?"
az will tell you" said Boyd, suppress

the man who visited Broger's shop, in
X street"
The man who vanished?''
| Precisely"
He must have gone somewhere"
| "And the fact that he did not leave
| by the door, which plainly was the or
| binary way of exit, at once suggests
! that he had gone into a cellar" de-
| clared Boyd quite pointedly. THAT he
| did precisely that. and with designs
suggested by the clue I struck today
already am quite convinced"
/ What clue do you mean, Mr.. Boyd?
THAT suggested by the tin box depos-

swered. Note how carefully the way
was prepared for deceiving Sanderson
and averting any misgivings on his
part. This Kramer rents of the Trim
