The warden paused, dazed, incredu-
lous before the audacity of 1t, while
he studied two calm eyes which
peered at him through the Sits of the
mask.
And II don't release him." he de-
manded at last, fiercely.
"Then I shall take him." was the
reply. TT has been made impossible
for you to give an alarm" the stranger
went on. The very nsa on whom
you most depended have been bought.

your voice now they wouldn't respond.
One Of your assistants who has been
here for years unloaded the revolver
in the desk there. and less than an
hour ago cut the prison alarm wire.
Il. personally. cut the police alarm out

A yet there was no weapon In

the warden's hand: ut no time had
the strangers voice been raised. His
tone was . perfectly normal one.
Besides yourself there are only ave
other men employed here who are

and the outer guard. They have all
been bought-the turkeys at hve
thousand dollars each, and the outer
guard at seven thousand. The receipt
q all of this money is conditional
upon the release of Signor Petrozinni,

Suddenly he was seized by a VIC

step forward and raised the empty

a motion Of his head indicated the
door leading to the street They
passed through, closing the door be-

For a little time the intruder stood
staring down at the still body, then
he went to the telephone and called
police headquarters.

A Call on the Warden.

Call on the warden.
The restful silence Of night lay over
the great prison. Here and there in
the grim corridors guard dozed in

the office, too, desk light glimmered
where the warden sat at his desk.
porting over a report Once he glanced
up at the clock-it was Ave minutes
of eleven--and then he went on with
his reading.
After little the silence was broken
by the whir of the clock and the first
sharp stroke of the hour; and at just
that moment the door from the street
opened and q man entered. He was
rather tall and slender, and sinister
black mask hid his face from the
quickly raised eyes of the warden. For
q bare fraction Of second the two
men stared at each other, then, in
stinctively, the wardens right hand
moved toward the open drawer of his
desk where a revolver lay, and his
left toward several electrically con-
nected levers The intruder noted
both gestures, and, unarmed himself,
stood silent. The warden was first
to speak.
We'll, what is it,"
"You have a prisoner here, Pietro
Petrozinni," was the reply, in pleas
ant voice. II have come to demand his
release"
The warden's right hand was raised
above the desk top. and the revolver
in 1t clicked warningly.
You have come to demand his re-
lease, eh?" he queried. He still sat
motionless, with his eyes fixed on the
black mask How did you pass the
outside guard?"
"He was bribed," was the ready 70

intruder continued practically, II

ly, and it shall remain SO as long az

with the revolver.
ooh, that isn't loaded" said the
masked man quietly.
One quick glance at the weapon
showed the warden that the cartridges
had been drawn! His teeth closed
with a snap at the treachery Of It
and with his left hand he pulled back
one of the levers-that which should
arouse the jailers, turkeys and
guards. Instead of the insistent clan
gor which he expected, there was 81

That wire has been cut" the
stranger volunteered.
With clenched teeth the warden
pulled the police alarm.
And that wire was cut, too" the
stranger explained.
The warden came to his feet with
white face and nails biting into the
palms of his hands. He still held the
revolver as he advanced upon the
masked man threateningly.
Not too close, now,'' warned the in
truder, with sudden hardening of his
voice. Believe me, it would be best

which had been inflicted upon the dip

outcome. he had spent his time in
ireading and smoking. He had an

Tor no when he deigned to answer
them at all; and there had been no
callers or inquiries for him. He had
abruptly declined a suggestion OF
counsel.
Twice each day, morning and night,
he had asked question of the jailer
who brought his simple meals.
"How is Senior Alvarez?"
HE is still in a critical condition"
THE answer was always the same.
Whereupon the secret agent would
return to his reading with not a
shadow of uneasiness or concern on
his face.
Occasionally there came q courteous
little note from Miss Thorne, which he
read without emotion, afterward cast

He never answered them. And then
Ione day there came another note
which for no apparent reason, seemed
TO stir him from his lethargy. Out

when Senior Petrozinni scanned the

he stood staring down at 1t as though

where, it seemed, the nen had

for a moment, then started to turn
away. The prisoner stopped him with

He thrust small coin between the
bars; the guard accepted it and passed
on. Then, still standing at the door.
4he prisoner read the note again:
my Dear Friend:
II understand, from an indirect
source, that there has been a marked
improvement in Senior Alvarez's con-
dition, and am Fastening to send you
the good news. There is every hope
that within short while, If he con-
tinues to improve. we can arrange a
bail bond, and you will be free until
the time of trial, anyway.
Might it not be well for you to
consult an attorney at once! Drop me
"a line to let me know you received
this. s~~. Sincerely,
/, ISABEL THORNE."
Finally the prisoner tossed the note
on q tiny table in a corner of his
cell, and resumed his reading After
a time the guard returned with the
milk.
Would it be against the rules for
me to write an answer to this?"

Town Council has no place at present in
which to lay its head, and it is only by
the courtesy of the Collector of Taxes for
the past five years that Council has had a
