The tone which utterly strange to the
reporter coming it did from this Grabbed irritable

chilling by reason of it's very gravity, and for the
first time in his life Hatch felt that his companion

but there slight, hooking smile wavering
about her lips.
The Thinking Machine turned the gas half down,
then went and sat the door. Silently they
waited, five, ten, fifteen, minutes; then they heard
quick muffled tread moving along the hall toward
the door.
IF she moves or makes the slightest sound,
shoot!" directed The Thinking Machine in low
voice.
He rose and faced the door. Some one fumbled
at the lock, and the door swung inward. The figure

abruptly, and he thrust glittering something

up Detective Mallory's desk were the packages

were counterfeit, all of two and five dollar denomina-

printing. But the numbers were at fault all the

For the enlightenment of Detective Mallory,
The Thinking Machine and Hatch repeated in detail
those incidents leading up to the capture of the
man and the woman.
There is really little to explain, said the scientist
at the end; although the problem, while it lasted,
was one of the most complex and intricate have
ever met: We may dismiss Mr.. Hatchs first adven-
ture as OF no consequence 1t just happened that he

curiously. 1t seems to me that it would have been
safer for him to carry it himself
On the contrary was the reply. "a man in
his position is always expecting arrest If the money
had been found on him. it would have convicted him ;
if it had been in his organ, and that should have
fallen into other hands and been identified, it would
have convicted him But if the money was on the
danger, it would have been easy to free it, and
perhaps it could easily have succeeded in making
its escape
The two prisoners willingly informed Detective
Mallory of the whereabouts of the counterfeiter's
plant-were apparently even anxious to inform him
and he in person led the raid it. Plates for the
bills were seized and five expert workers placed
under arrest.

Hatch smiled little, and his right hand went
back to his hip. Perhaps he smiled, because he had
never been guilty of carrying revolver in all his
life.
- Don't do that, sgnorinal' he advised pleasantly
Don't make any mistake with that knife! l have
never drawn revolver a woman and l don't
want to now; but believe me, you must take out the
knife and drop it. You must say!" and his right
hand moved forward the fraction of foot threat
enngly.
Staring straight into his eyes without tremor in
her the girl produced the stiletto and it clat
tered on the floor. Hatch kicked it beyond her
reach. The Thinking Machine finally rose from his
place on the floor.
Mr.. Hatch" he commanded sharply, take the
young in the far there and let her
sit down Just SO surely as she makes any noise, how
