cell that had long been his home. On
returning to the Office the secretary
said: i've brought Valentine along

A disturbed expression came into
the prison masters face. He glanced
quickly at Fay and his niece. then
talked in an undertone with his aid.
He was interrupted by Mrs. Webster.

He's put more time locks on the re-
tired list than any three men in the
whole place. and when it comes to
the fancy getaway only crosseyed
copper can keep tabs on him."
The warden's picturesque introduce
ton was lost on Rose Lane. She
| caught a glimpse of the face Of the
man in felon's stripes. She leaned to
one side to make certain. Yes: now
she could not possibly be mistaken.
She extended her hand spasmodically
and clutched the lieutenant governors
arm.
"Uncle. uncle" she said chokingly,

Fay's anxious response.
THAT is the man who saved metz
the excited young girl gasped. THAT

The warden's shifting eye caught
the agitated movement Of Rose Lane
as Jimmy Valentine was brought in.
and he quickly resolved on a course Of
procedure that would place the young
prisoner in as bad a light as possible.
AS for the lieutenant governor. he was
almost as astonished as Rose at the
unexpected denouement. and he quiet

liant Prince Charming Of the only real
romance in which she had ever played
part.
The lieutenant governor addressed
the prisoner:
How do you do. sir?"
Valentine swung around and faced
the speaker He realized that he
could no longer conceal his features
from the spectator He pressed his
hands ncrvously together and looked
his questioncr squarely in the eyes.

Fay fastened pentrating gaze on
Valentine.
The prisoner turned his face away
and toward the warden.
"I'll do SO very gladly If I can.
What is the combination?''

en-. staring at the prisoner.
Valentine was as cool and as insist

crOuched into one of the uncomforta-

brown eyes fixed steadfastly upon

did Jimmy Valentine falter. With
masterful control he wheeled to face
the warden. You are wrong again."
he said evenly to Handler. "You
know l am not what you would have

NOW the grape purple began to show
in the warden's face. The thick veins
in his neck began to thicken still
more and to crowd his low collar for
space.
You better do as l ask. Valentine"
he warned.
Il know that every one here knows
that. but
