"Yes-slr."

Valentine pushed back his chair and
rose. mopping his forehead. For the mo-
ment. although his daring theory had
been tested and found not wanting. he
secured the vital information needed.
Plainly, the crafty Pennant. aided by
his winsome daughter, who had probably
made shameless love to the artless Fritz
had stumbled on the fact that the boy
was highly susceptible to hypnotice in
huence. Probably the plot had been
confederate like Tony the Greek was
especially clever. and far less dangerous
than having the boy bring the money
direct 10 the charlatan's fiat. especially
in view OF the fact that Fritz knew Tony
very well and bought OF him every day In
the year.
Satisfied. querisd Dr.; Ramis;
YOU. I've got all l needed, in the way
of Information. But how do YOU figure
that Pennant worked the game"

"Pennant and the woman got Fritz in
the habit Of running in and out. Then
the rascal put him 10 sleep-not once, but
many tmes-and in that state found out
that he frequently carried large sums In
questions in his waking state he might
have started some suspicion, for our

he carried q lot OF money to the bank
he was TO give II to Tony. This the boy
would infalllbly do-without question and
without remembering afterward what ho
had done, the particular action being as
ISOLATED entirely with his sub conscious

warned what 10 expect and TO be on the
lookout. When Fritz slipped the bill 10
him you may be certain that Tony hus-
tied 1t out OF sight and later passed 1t
on TO Penuant"
Valentine nodded complete comprehen-
sion. Dr. Ramle had simply voiced his
own theoretical lmaglnings, yet In scien-
tiAc terms and with the authority Of an
expert.

Next morning. the Instant court
opened, Valentine swore out warrants
for the arrest Of one Tony the Greek and
one Prof. Abel Pennant on the charge
OF grand larceny. He wanted to make
both arrests himself; so while he went
downtown to nab the Greek the left
