Barnes and Clancy looked at each

looked at them. He seemed uncon-

Barnes, judcously.

dogmatically.
Presently the young man left his

Clancy, hoarsely

the petulent query.

He went 10 the ticket window and re-

As the chief pocketed the tickets and
the change he saw that the man ne
was after was already up stairs and on
his way 10 the train shed. He started
10 go In the same direction. but found
his way cut Off by a short, stout In
dividual. Barnes glanced mt the man.
II was the stranger he had seen in con-

too, for instead OF replying to Barnes,
he smiled grimly and stepped aside.
The chief inspector rushed up stairs.
Clancy was waiting there, ignorant OF
the cause Of the delay. They reached
the entrance OF the train shed just IN
time TO have the gate slammed shut In
their faces. Barnes fumed with rage
and mortihcatlop-so much so that he
could scarcely articulate Finally he
found his voice

tered.

While he was talking he opened his
