his more private wire conversations,
Through the glass OF the silence parth
ton, Fitch saw the detectives eyes
sparkle as he listened to what the
man at the other end of the wire was
saying. While Britt still was talking,
Manning came in, glanced inquiringly
at the doctor, and settled himself In

more protracted interview with hia

Just for an instant Britz stfffened

showed them. But there lurked be-
