And strangely enough. Reds pre-

appeared in the doorway.
AS the door on opening swung to-

the vault. Doyle. shielded by it, was
enabled to put one foot over the sill
and stand half within the vault room.
Pressing himself close against the

Jimmy Valentine.
He saw the sheet of sandpaper fut-

his fingers with his tongue to ease the

his knees and crouch against the door
of the giant safe; he saw Valentine
step forward, seize the combination
with the tips of his fingers. press his
ear against the vault and gently, ca
ressingly. ever so gently, twirl the

ton.
George Doyle had his, dearest wish

Jimmy Valentine at work.

Valentine in spite of the danger that
attended his situation could not resist
the temptation to continue the con-
yersation with Doyle. 1t was danger
ous-no doubt as TO that. At any mo-
ment the young man might let drop
word or a hint that would betray him
self into his enemy's hands by con-
frming the detectives suspicious.
But the daring Valentine relished
the spice of excitement in the situa-
ton. He played with the detective as

The first foundation walls Of the
great fertilizer plant to be erected
out in the southwestern suburbs Of
Americus will be laid this week-per-
haps by tomorrow or Tuesday-and
then will rapid progress be made in
the completion of the plant. For ten
days or two weeks an army of work
men have been busy grading the
grounds and getting everything IN
readiness for the carpenters and
brick-masons. Side-tTa Ks have been
built to the factory site and a vast
quantity of building material deliver
ed there already. This fine plant of
the Interstate Agricultural Corpora
tion means an investment of $4,000
to $4,000 in Americus. 1t will en-
ploy large force, and will be operat-
ed the entire year through instead Of
just the fall season. The plant will
be completed and fertilizer turned
out in time fo@ the next crop planting.
