quite true-quite true, ! am sure,
my dear SIR" commented Jimmy Val
entine condescendingly. II can see
that you are exceptionally able in your
line. Some day II we ever have loss
here through thievery l shall be most
glad to recommend you to the direct
ors. and / am sorry that you feel SO
embarrassed at your error regarding
me-"
"Oh, cut that! Don't worry about
me-" said Doyle vengefully. wait
till I put the bracelets on the real
Jimmy Valentine, then save your SYM
pathy for him. He'll pay for this
days work. It's all through him that
I made a sucker out Of myself today.
Mr.. Randall. and when get him he's
going to come through which means
confess" Doyle paused for breath
and concluded. "Tm on the biggest
Job OF my whole career, and when !
nnish It I'll have the real Jimmy Val
entipe sewed up in little stone jug
. by 8. without light or fresh air. and
what he'll get to eat would make q pit
bull terrier turn vegetarian"
Valentine in spite Of the danger that
attended his situation could not resist
the temptation to continue the con-
versation with Doyle. 1t was danger
ous-no doubt as to that At any mo-

nrming the detectives suspicious.
But the daring Valentine relished
the spice Of excitement in the situa-
don. He played with the detective as

man Jimmy Valentine very merry
time Of 1t when you finally land him."
Valentine said II am glad ! am not

Doyle laughed grimly.
'1The resemblance is the most star
Ting l have ever encountered" he an

taller-a half inch. maybe-but. aside
from that and the wrist scar. you and
Valentine are exact"
Valentine smiled fatuously-quite

man as you hunting me, Mr.. Doyle"
he went on. land from what you say

some time"
Nearly three years." the detective
grunted angrily.
"well. that's quite awhile You must

"He is the one man who can open

"why. that's not possible. is itr' he
asked incredulously.
Doesn't sound so-we never thought
so-but Jimmy Valentine has done It
repeatedly. The first year he worked
we thought the jobs were done from
the inside-employees or officers of
the bank. Then we got him by con-
fession Of his pal, and fool governor
pardoned him." Doyle growled dis
gustedly.
swell. II he was pardoned"-
The detective brushed the sugges-
ton aside.
II want him for another Job. one
that can convict him on now and
couldn't before the first conviction"
"You will doubtless get him. Mr..
