Outside, swinging his club and kick
ing his heel in the macadam, found
a fat policeman-from New York,
knew by his helmet.
He turned and saw-O'Keefe!
'Oh, there you are, sir!" And with
a careless duck and wave, he ambled
forward and placed in my hands a
parcel.

calmly. Il knew in minute soon as
he told mel"
And, by Jove, l believed him! Had
to, you know; it was only just one
instance of the devilish clever, in
to things!
Yes, sir,"-O'Keefe thoughtfully
transferred a big wad to the other
cheek-"the captain gave me a little
lay off SOS | could bring 'em up,"-
! he studied with interest the top OF
one of the pillars of the porte-cochere
and shrugged lightly-"of course 1t
wasn't just because of the reward,
though of course five hundred bucks
is five hundred bucks, but We thought
you might like to have 'em-thank
you, sir!" For out of my folder
peeled five crisp centuries and laid
them in his palm.
This done, Jenkins glanced at me
and turned suggestively toward the
entrance, but O'Keefe didn't make
move to go and no more did l.. Fact
was, | had devilish keen notion that
the old cat upstairs would be watch

me that to play him little longer

ished impressively,
Meantime, he had been hunching
himself up until now he succeeded in
wrenching from somewhere behind, a
ragged and shiny old wallet, bulging
with worn and greasy papers. Within
this, with flourish, he laid the bills
