Godfrey took the proffered cigar and
relapsed into his chair.

The door few back with a crash, and
a man rushed ina heavy set man
with red cheeks-who stopped, gasp

ssThis is Simrnonds Send three men

He put back the receiver with a jerk.
Godfrey twtrled the janitor sharply
around in the direction Of the door.

through the building.

mot thing. Only" he added, his
eyes cleaning suddenly with apprecia-
ton, "you were right about that De.
lame abduction case. 1t was all a
faxed up story on the mothers part.
She confessed this evening"
II thought she would ii you kept at
her." said Godfrey, sitting down with
quick nod Of satisfaction. "She
hasn't nerve enough to carry through a
thing like that; she's too pink and
white How does 1t happen you're
alone?"
"Johnston's gone down to Philadel.
phia to bring back Riggs, the forger.
Fleming's got the grip. Bad night"
There was certain similarity in the
faces of the two men, especially in the
expression Of the eyes and mouth.
Age, however, had given to Simmonds'
features trace Of stolidity which was
wanting In those of his companion. He
had been connected with the central Of
fee for many years, was dean Of the
force, In fact, and though he had de-
veloped no special genius in his deal
ings with crime he possessed matter
of fact industry and personal courage
which had frequently achieved success.
In the end his chief had come to trust
him greatly, probably because the brill
liant theorists Of the force made SO
many unfortunate mistakes.
Godfrey was brilliant theorist and
something more. He was not so pa
tient as Simmonds, but then he was
much younger. He had more imagina-
ton, and perhaps his greatest weak
ness was that he preferred picturesque
solutions to commonplace ones. Dur
Ing his three years. connection with the
force he had won four or five notable
victories, so notable, indeed, that they
attracted the attention Of the Record
management. The end Of it was that
Godfrey resigned his badge and en-
tered the Record Office as criminal ex-
pert, climbing gradually to the position
of star reporter. Since then the Record
had not waited on the police; indeed, It
had been rather the other way around.
It was with Simmonds that Godfrey
had long since concluded an alliance
offensive and defensive. The one sup
plemented the other-the eagle gave
eyes to the mole; the mole gave the
eagle the power of working patiently
in the dark. Simmonds kept Godfrey
in touch with police affairs; Godfrey
enabled Simmonds to make startling
arrest now and then. Godfrey got the
story. Stmmonds got the glory, and
both were satisfied. It may be added
that without in the least suspecting it
the mole was considerably under the
influence Of the eagle. Breins natural
