 "l have something more to tell you something that will be painful" said he.
 Orde looked up quickly.
 "Well, what is it?"
 "The general cussedness of all this investigation business had me puzzled until at last made up my mind to do a little Investigating on my own ac- count. There was one man behind all this. He was"-
 doe Newmark," said Orde quietly.
 How did you know that?"
 ''I just guessed
 "Well, it was Newmark. He tied up the land in this trumped up investiga- ton so you could not borrow on it."
 How did he find out owned any land" asked Orde.
 That couldn't tell you. Must have been a leak somewhere"
 Orde did not wish to return to the office until he had worked his problem out. so to lend his absence the color of naturalness be drove back next morn ing to the boOms.
 In he evening he went direct to Newmark's.
 Mir. Newmark is out. sir" said Nal lock and started to close the door.
 But Orde thrust his foot and knee in the opening
 "1ll come in and wait" said he quietly.
 Yes. sir; this way, sir said Nal Jock. trying to indicate the dining room.
 Orde caught the aroma of tobacco. He turned the Knob of the door and entered the library.
 There he found Ncwmark in evening dress, seated in low easy chair be- heath lamp. smoking and reading a magazine, At Ordes appearance in the doorway he looked up calmly, his paper knife poised. keeping the place
 Orde entered the room and mechan ically sat down.
 "Newmark.' Orde began abruptly, "I know all about this arrangement you made with HeiuZnan."
 Il borrowed some money from Heinz mar for the firm"
 Yes. and you supplied that money yourself
 Newmark's eyes narrowed.
 Well. what of it?"
 If you had the money to lend why didn't you lend 1t direct?"
 Because it looks better to mortgage to an outside holder"
 That was not the reason" went on 0rde. You agreed with Heinzlnan to divide when you succeeded in foreclos- ing me out of the timherlands given as security. Furthermore, you in- structed Floyd to go out on the eve of that blow in spite of his warnings, and you contracted with Mcleod for the new vessels, and you've tied us up right and left for the sole purpose of pinching us down where we couldn't meet those notes. That's the only req son you borrowed the seventy-fve thousand on your own account-so we couldn't borrow 1t to save ourselves"
 'It strikes me you are interesting, but inconclusive, said Newmark as Orde paused again.
 That sort of thing is somewhat of facer," went on Orde without the slightest attention to the interjection. Tt took me some days to work it out in all it's details. but believe 1 under stand it all now don't quite under stand how you discovered about my California timber That investigation was very pretty move.'
 How the devil did you get of to that?" cried Ncwmark, startled.
 "Then you acknowledge lt|
 "Why shouldn't ?" Newmark laugh ed. "Of course Heinzman blabbed." Orde half sat ol. the arm of his chair.
 "Now, I'll tell you what we will do in this natter" said he crisply.
 "WeE follow" said Newmrk, "the original program, as laid down by my. self. Pm tired of dealing with blum dering fools. HeinZmans mortgage will be foreclosed, and you will hand over as per the agreement your Boom con- pany stock"
 Orde stared at him in amazement. q must say you have good nerve," he said. You don't seem to realize that you are pretty well tangled up. 1 don't know what they call it-criminal conspiracy or something of that sort, suppose. So far from handing over to you the bulk of my property can send you to the penitentiary"
 Nonsense" rejoined Newmark, lean ing forward in his turn. q know you too well, Jack Orde. You're a fool. Do you seriously mean to say that you dare try to prosecute me?' Just as sure as you do I'll put Heinzman in the pen too. I've got it on him, cold. He's bribe giyer-and somewhat criminal conspirator himself"
