 or course, there could be but ore end to it Powerful as was the will in the drug-racked body the twiteh ing of the muscles, the involuntary drawing up e the limbs and arms as far as the bonds would permit, and most of all the clasping and unclasp- ing of the fingers told what torture the silence was bringing to Young
 He burst forth at last in a wild flow of profanity, cursing Davis. CUTS ing me. cursing everything, cursing God. and still Davis sat there as rigid and as silent as the superior Of Trappist monastery doing penanee. At times the prisoners voice was raised to a hideous shriek. at times It sank to a pitiful sob. and all the while he tugged and strained at his bonds. twisting. turning reaching, trying always to find some position in which he could gain possession of the morphine that lay on the chair just beyond his reach
 At last-it must have been an hour later-physical exhaustion conquered him and he lay back, after one last frantic struggle. weak and panting. unresisting
 The inspector arose, and. walking over to the couch, stood there look. ing down al him.
 Aleck Young" he said evenly, yoar whole game Is up know all about General Parrish and Andrew port know about Dora Hastings. who committed suicide in the park lake yesterday, and about Henry Eberle. who sent you the five thoas. and. know everything that your unfortunate aide. Rouser, knew. and now want you to surrender all the ! letters and papers in your posses sion
 You will never get them. sneered Young. a l sat there maryeling at the inspectors reyelations It was news to me that be knew the name of the Central Park suicide. and while I myself had found the five thousand dollars. I had had not the slightest intimation that Davis knew from whom 1t had come
 Either I get those letters" said Davis evenly, "or you get no more morphine"
 Young laughed in his f1ce
 sYe4 haven't the slightest evidence against me for anything Without let ters or documents you can prove noth- ing You have no right 10 keep me bound up here. l shall get free and shall make you pay for this l don't care what Rouser has told you. you'll get nothing out of me and you have proof of nothing
 Very well" said the inspector, no letters. no morphine
 Turning away from the couch. he spoke to me iu tone as indifferent as fl We had been camping together:
 Come on. Kent, let's see what We can dig up for breakfast
 We found the cottage well supplied with provisions. as if 1t had been the intention of the conspirators to make 1t their Headquarters for some time. In a very few minutes Davis had some bacon fried and toast and coffee made. which he spread in the little lean.to that was used as a kitchen.
 So you mean to starve him. too ; asked In an undertone, pointing to the couch
 Tt won't be necessary" said Davis. Take something in to him if you like. You'll find that the only appetite he'll have will be for morphine.
 Nevertheless. took a cup of coffee and some toast in to the prisoner. A Yolley of paths Was my only reward. so returned and sat with Davis while he ate myself had no appe tite. but the events of the night did rot seem iu the least 10 have affected his I drank only part of 3 cup or coffee though he urged me 10 eat something
 II k apt 10 be a long siege" he said. and you must keep your strength. Our prisoner is d man of considerable will power and k not going to confess readily | yoa VII keep guard on him for q couple of hours l am going to sleep
 'Of course. will
 T nder no circumstances said Davis. as he flung himself down on the floor of the lean-to. loosen any of his bonds. and pay no attention to his pleas for mercy He has win hing way about him that is danger ous."
 You need not fear." l replied Re member the agony he has caused 70
