off through the night to the Of
- flee of Grant & Ripley He was
dazed, bewildered, hardly more than
half conscious. A bitter smile crept
about his lips as he drew away from
the street car track almost as his hand
touched the rail of car he had sig
nailed. He remembered that he did not
have money enough to pay his fare. 1t
was six or seven blocks to the office of
the lawyers. and he was actually run
ming before he stopped at the entrance
of the big building.
Never had an elevator travelled more
slowly than the one which shot him to
the seventh floor. A light shone through
the transom above the attorneys door.
and he entered without so much as a
rap on the panel Grant, who was pac-
ing the floor. came to standstill and
faced his visitor.
"Close the door, please" came in
steady tones from Ripley Mr.. Grant
dropped into a chair, and Brewster
mechanically slammed the door.
