1T was impossible TO believe that the Minis

would easily Ind those willing to accept
honours upon any terms, but it was difficult
to conceive a more contemplate action thar

this sordld drama 1t was demonstrations TO
put either legislative chamber in the hands

Rhodes took out his time piece, and said: q have two o'clock flat.'
 l now noticed that the dial of the time-lock stood 1:5S:30.
 When did you notice that the clock of the time-lock was slow?"
 Tt is slow, isn't it? Why. had for got that It was last Monday morn ing, week ago. I remember I was a little late" replied Rhodes.
 Has any one swept in here since?"
 Rand asked this with his eyes fixed on a dark corner at the heel of the right door,
 No, not in the vault"
 Rand stopped and put his hand into the corner For a moment I thought he was picking up something, but he straightened up and brushed his fin gers one against the other as If rid ding them of dust, so l knew if he had found anything he did not wish the safe man to know of it. In a moment he signified he was through and we left the place, and at the corner parted with the man from Mahler's. We walked on toward my office
 What do you make of that?" said ] Rand suddenly, and I saw that he was holding something toward me be tween his thumb and forefinger. The small, bright object was mere. ly plain, smooth-worn bit of steel l thinner than penny, and not as broad, with small round hole in the center Just a tiny disc of steel. Did you pick that up in the vault?' | I asked.
 "Yes. out of that dark corner by the door,
 Well what Is this thing" "I wish I could answer that ques tion as easily as you ask it." replied Rand, and relapsed into silence. A few minutes after Rand and reached my office the boy entered

be all right. for we trust Mir Rand thoroughly here. Tell him that pile of them has been dumped into the market in the past week, not into the market exactly, but Strauss brokers had them and loans on them were used to buy Overland Pacific at an average of s7, and when it reached 161 last Thursday, whoever was in this pool began to take profits as nearly as we can tell, and closed out the line at an average of 157. Of course Overland went to 136, but she is-let me see-let me sec" he looked at the tape lis 206, so who ever held these bonds must have been outside of Strauss pool. It cost us about three million dollars. J. k. Harrington Smith, the president of the Municipal, was on the short end of Overland very badly that know to my sorrow, and furthermore Strauss is, or, was, his broker"
 By a short cut and brisk walk up Nassau Street I reached the Park Row drug store on the minute of the half hour. A man was in the tele- phone booth talking, and just outside the half-open door was Rand, direct ing the queries that the man was making. The stranger was evidently the man from Mahler's, talking with his factory at Cincinnati
 Well, my books show the number is D1S6N," the safe man was saying we have no record of complaints or repairs back to '94. Have you any before that?-All right, I'll hold the wire.-Hello, yes. You have none at all. Now, what is the pattern of the time-lock-Neilson patent. yes-Well. who superintended the secret con- struction room when this one was made?-The old man himself, eh?- Where Is Nelson now?-How long has he been dead'-Well, was his brother-in-law working with him in 1890?"

he knew where the power lay, I could see the arteries in his neck thsob- ping noticed that Rhodes was very pale
 Now, to be brief, gentlemen" con tinued Rand in soft, even voice, we are about to adjust this matter of the disappearance of million dol lars worth of bonds from the vault of the Municipal Bank.
 "Mr. Anderson. you will kindly turn over to MT Smith that packet of go government fours. MT. Smith will give you a receipt in full You will also give MT. Smith your order on Strauss & Company for four hundred thousand dollars, which Is approxi- mately what MT. Smith lost when caught short on Overland Pacific ten days ago, and also your order to Mir. George Rhodes for the remainder of your profits when you went long on Overland Pacific this last week by using the Municipal Bank as an in voluntary partner. You will also give your consent to his marriage with your daughter. MT. Duncan here will arrange the matter of fees and that will close the incident. If you do not. MT. Smith will prosecute you and l will furnish the evidence. If Mir. Smith does not perform his share I will, in behalf of MT. Rhodes. inform the bank directors of his hand in Overland Kindly do as l have re- Quested, MT. Anderson"
 The old fellow never changed color one whit, nor did the throbbing of the arteries In his neck increase.
 "Vot iss diss nonsense. Meester vot ot-afer-your-nem-iss? sputtered the old man in broken English, a bitter sheer coming over his face. ''Vot a ni-ice fiddle scheme bote An don't ma-eke no mohney bayeoss An afndt got dey bonts-s--"
 Rand held up forefinger and the old man stopped. He was now breath ing hard and was flushed. Rand drew

with a card. It bore the name, Miss Marie Nelson Anderson"
 Show her in." l said. handing the card to Rand
 The office boy then opened the door to very pretty young woman.
 "Oh, MT. Duncan. she exclaimed, when I had indicated my identity by receiving her and showing her to a seat. "I have just had a dreadful quarrel with father about MT. George Rhodes. I had letter from MT. Rhodes, a terrible letter, saying he wishes to forget me. Father declares he is guilty and has forbidden me to see him, but I must go to him and tell him that l know he is innocent. Father told me that you are his attor- ney"
 reassured her to the best of my ability, telling her that Rhodes had not been arrested and advising her to go home and try to dismiss the mat. ter from her mind with the promise that 1t must come out all right
 "Oh, then he has not been arrest. ed" she exclaimed in delight.
 No" broke in Rand. who up to this point had taken no part in the con versation. And with the information that you have unconsciously given me. can almost promise that he never will be-" and he glanced at her card.
 By the way, how old are you, Miss Anderson"
 She did not seem to mind the blunt question and replied quickly: 'I am twenty-one"
 Were you born in this country"
 Yes, I was born in New York" Thank you. kindly; that is all said Rand, and was promptly so deep in thought that he barely rose and bowed as she left few minutes lat CT. He kept his feet and put on his hat as if he. too. were going.

The safe man hung up the receiver, turned around and said:
 He says the man who controlled the secret measurements on that set of vaults was the patentee of the time-lock and he is dead. The meas urements are sealed and filed. The patents went to his brother-in-law who worked with him, who sold them outright to the company for a song" "
 What was his name?" asked Rand. with disappointment In his voice and manner.
 They have no record and do not remember. He was just drunken, thick headed Swede"
 When I told Rand just what had happened in Steele's office, and he smiled slightly and said
 Well. we'll. the lost bonds or oth- CTS have been used as collateral for a week past. eh, and Harrington Smith was on the wrong side of the market I do not think Rhodes will do any time if he is clever have learned that he was a favorite employee of Smiths. Let us go over to the Municipal"
 Rhodes admitted us to the enclos. ure. and according to Rand's previous instructions, gave us no sign of recognition. Rand and the man from Mahler's examined carefully the in terior of the electrically lighted vault The place was in perfect order. and the lock responded repeatedly to the safe-man's skilled touch. Rand had been standing still looking carefully at everything within range of his keen eyes.
 Suddenly he pulled out his watch, looked at the dial of the time-lock. then at his watch. then at the bank clock, an electrically regulated affair hung on the wall. The clock read 2 D. m. to the second.
 T beg pardon" said Rand to Rhodes. What time is 1t by your watch?"
