detective.
Still Pinckney fenced.
IL couldn't say, really. Better ask
Mr.. Durant."
II did," retorted Bradley shortly.
Pinckney saw it was time to end
this cross questioning if he was to get
away safe. The government agent
was shrewder than he thought, and
this thin spot in his defense-the iden-
tity Of Rhinestrom-seemed p~erilously
weak. The only thing to do was to
end it at once.

draughtsman Of the Durant steel

Again Pinckney made a move for
delay. He wanted to get to Pittsburg
as quickly as he could to see Marsh
and cover up all tracks before he an
swered any questions.
Cant you defer all questions until

suggested. Pm in a great hurry, and
In Pittsburg l will have all facts be-

But Bradley was a man not to be
denied.
Il should prefer asking one or two

response put his first query bluntly.

Pinckney's face flushed.
81 do not" he retorted angrily. 81
think the gun was constructed on
theory, and the theory was unsound."
Sommers, standing by, made a quick,
angry movement. but a sharp look
from Bradley restrained him. The
secret service mar was apparently
very much interested and thoroughly
willing to accept P%inckney's idea.
In fact, agreeing with people was
part of Bradley's stock in trade, and,
in fact, in Washington it was generally
admitted that this particular star of
the secret service bureau could agree
with more people and get more in
formation without otfense than any
man in the service. Now, apparently,
he was Pinckney's friend.
"M'm-very interesting he said.
"Now, what do you think of the Rhine
Strom gun, MI. Pinckney?'
Pinckney looked at his questioner
sharply. but the face before him
showed only bland agreement and
casual interest.
II consider the Rhinestrom gun the
best gun hat has been invented" said
the general manager firmly.
The face of the government agent
~ontinued to show bland interest only.
"And have you controlled the patents
of the Rhinestrom gun?"
'"The Durant steel works control
them," corrected the general manager.
"And you have a large government
order for the Rhinestrom gun now
that the Sommers gun is out of the
way?" persisted the unruf1ed ques-
toner.
Pinckney had been losing more and
more Of his self control as each sue
ceeding home thrust struck him.
II don't like what that question i'm
plies, sir" he exclaimed angrily.
Bradley made a slight conventional
nod.
'T'm sorry" he said indifferently.
The conspirator had begun to real
ize he was fencing a strong. shrewd
antagonist and it would not do to lose
his temper, SO he FASTENED to explain.
"We had the Rhinestrom order be-

"Who is Rhinestrom" commanded

After all, there was a chance Of
