"Well, look at it. If this Valentine

You can alibi yourself into hell,
Valentine. but you can't get away
from that scar on your left wrist"
Doyle had reserved this telling shot
for a critical moment

unbelievingly.
"But that proves nothing" Valen-
tine drew back as he spoke. He ap-
peared unwilling to permit Doyle to
make an examination of his wrist.
LET me see | tell you. It's got to
be shown sooner or later. Delay won't
get you anything." Doyle was forcing
the fighting now. He was certain that
he had Valentine cornered.
The assistant cashier thrust his
hands behind his back.
Don't you realize" he said trium-
phantly, chat that is very old fash
toned method of Identification? Don't
you know that since the introduction
of horsehair in sewing wounds
there is never SCARF" He smiled ir-
ritatingly at Doyle.
AS a reply the detective bent swift

He lunged forward clutching Valen-

wrist that was scarred?' he cried.
He pushed back the cuff, but the
surface of the right wrist was as
smooth and as unbroken as the other.
Anything else l can do for you?"

Doyle let go his hand.

through the crack. He saw Valentine

the young mans breast heave as
though he was signing in relief as at
the ending of a trying ordeal.

his knees before Valentine and plead
ed heartbrokeny for his old time safe
breaking accomplice to use once again
the skill that had made his name a
synonym for success in the under

Valentine hesitated, as we'll he
