room.
In casual way he folded his arms.
He could now put his hand into his in
side coat pocket and the motion would
hardly be noticed.
For moment he stood as though
waiting for some one to appear at the
inquiry window. Though Alcatrante
was watching him closely, Orme con-
tinued to act as If he were the only
person in the room.
And now the dial of the big Their
mometer in the outer wall of the re-
fr1gerator appeared to catch his eye,
and he strolled over to it. This placed
him almost in the open doorway. APP
parently his eyes were on the dial, but
IN reality he was glancing sidewise into
the chamber of the refrigerator He
glimpsed moving figure in there
heard faint rustling Thrusting his
hand into the inside of his coat, he was
about to take out the precious papers
to pass them in to her.
Then he received a violent push
from behind. He plunged forward,
tripped with one foot on the sill of the
refrigerator doorway, and went in
headlong, sprawling on the tiled floor.
His clutching hand caught the fold of
woman's skirt. Then, though he re-
manned conscious, everything suddenly
turned black.
Bewildered as he was, several sec
onds passed before he realized that the
massive door had been closed-that he
and the girl were prisoners.

Maku's pocket a folded slip of paper. He

trante would cling to him like an
Old Man of the Sea, awaiting the OPP
portunity to get the better of him.
Every vile would be employed; but
publicity was no part of the game
Orme began really to believe that.
To shake off Alcatrante, perhaps
there was no better way than to lure
him to some deserted place and over
power him. But would not Alcatrante
be likely to have anticipated such a
move? And would he not resort to
desperate measures of his own before
Orme could put his own plans into
practise? Bixby might help.
Orme walked over to the inquiry
window. Il want to see Mr.. Bixby,"
he said, offering his card.
The Young woman behind the win
dow took the card, but at the same
time she said: Mr. Bixby left few
minutes ago. He won't be back to-
day. Shall keep the card for him?'
1T doesn't matter, thank you" he
said, turning away. Luck was against
him. Besides Bixby no one in the Of
fee knew him.
Alcatrante smiled genially. Since
Mr.. Bixby is absent" he remarked,
shall we leave the verifcation of the
notes until tomorrow"
What are you talking about?' ex-
claimed Orme.
Why" Alcatrante's face was the
picture of astonishment-"the Walling-
ham company notes, of course. The
notes you wish to sell me-" His voice
was raised so that the girl behind the
window could not help hearing.
"Rot!" said Orme.
WHAT" A note Of indignation crept
into Alcatrante's voice. Are you
evading? Perhaps you thought would
not insist on the verifcation." An
other clerk, man, had Joined the girl
behind the window. Alcatrante sud
denly addressed him. This Mr.. Orme
told me that he needed to raise money
and would transfer to me cheap some
notes signed by your company. met
him at the hotel. He said that, If |
would come here with him, he would
how the notes and have them veri-
fed / don't understand"
The clerk left the window, and,
opening a door, came into the recep-
ion room. What are the notes you
have?" he asked.
Il have none" replied Orme, in dis
gust Il have never pretended to have
ny. This man is crazy, think" He
pointed to Alcatrante. "He has fol-
owed me here unlimited for reasons of
his own. l asked for Mr.. Bixby, whom
know I would have asked for Mr..
Wallingham, my personal friend, but
that l had already learned of his being
at Arradale."
There's funny business here some
where" exclaimed Alcatrante, with
great earnestness. do you mean to
say that you did not introduce your
self to me in the lobby of the Framing
ton and ask me to buy the notes?"
Orme did not answer.
With a conservative eye the clerk
looked at the two. He was not one to
involve himself in a dubious affair.
81 can't settle this matter for you,
gentlemen" he said.
With a slight bow, Orme went into
the hall. 1t dawned upon him why AL
catrante had invented so remarkable
a story. Without question, the min
lister had feared that Orme would en-
list aid in the Office, or that at least he
would manage to deposit the coveted
papers in safety while he found other
