"Quite true-quite true. am sure,
my dear SIR commented Jimmy Val
entine condescendingly. y can see
that you are exceptionally able in your
line. Some day if we ever have q loss
here through thievery 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 put the bracelets Oh the real
Jimmy Valentine, then save your SYM
pathy for him. He'll pay for this
days work It's all through him that
made sucker out of myself today,
MI. Randall. and when get him hes
going to come through which means
confess" Doyle paused for breath
and concluded. I'm on the biggest
Job Of my whole career, and when !
finish it III have the real Jimmy Val
entine sewed up in little stone jug

what he'll get to eat would make 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-
ment the young man might let drop
word or hint that would betray hlm-
! self into his cnemy's hands by con-
irming the detectives suspicious.
But the daring Valentine relished
the spice of excitement in the situa-
ton. He played with the detective as
cat with a squeaking mouse.
"To be sure. you do not promise TINS
man Jimmy Valentine very merry
time Of it when you finally land him,
Valentine said. II am glad l am not
he" ....
Doyle laughed grimly.
1.-THE resemblance is the most star
Ting | have ever encountered, he an

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

man as you hunting me. Mr.. Doyle

"Nearly three years." the detective
grunted anerily.
"Well. that's quite awhile. You must
want him badly"
Doyle bent toward the other ana
pounded his fist into his opened PAIN
"He is the one man who can open
safe by the sense of touch" he ex-
planned
Blank amazement came into the face
of the assistant cashier.
"Why, that's not possible, is it?' he
asked incrednlOusly.
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-employee or officers OF
the bank. Then we got him by con-
fession of his pal, and fool governor
pardoned him." Doyle growled dis
gustedly.
"Well, If he was pardoned"-
The detective brushed the sugges-
ton aside.
Il want him for another job, one
that | can convict him on now ana
couldn't before the first conviction"
you will doubtless get him. Mr.
Doyle" confidently.
"nouhtless It's life work to land
him. He's the most dangerous man
