Red, another of his pals, another who
had seen him kill Griggs. For a time
that seemed to him long ages of mis-
cry. Carson sat staring daZedly at
the closed doors of the tier cells. The
peril about him was growing-grow-
ing, and it was a deadly peril! At
last, he licked his dry lips, and his
voice broke in a throaty whisper.
Say Inspector if you've got any
thing against me, why"
"Who said there was anything
against you, Joe?" Burke rejoined
in a voice that was genially chiding.
Whats the matter with you to-day,
Joe? You seem nervous" Still the
official kept on with his writing.
NO, l amt nervous" Carson cried
with a feverish effort to appear calm

But this amt exactly the place you'd
pick out as a pleasant one to spend
the morning" He was silent for a
little, trying with all his strength to
regain his self-control, but with small
success.
Gould I ask you a question:" he
demanded finally with more firmness
in his voice.
What is it?" Burke said.
Carson cleared his throat with dit
ficulty, and his voice was thick

him, he now had concern only for the
safety of the woman he cherished
And there w5s 2 great grief in his

Of Griggs-and to a.. that might come

Carson contriyed to present an as

Yes" he agreed Il was thinking
of going West, myself" he veEtured
"Oh, were you:" Burke exclaimed;
and now there was a new note IN his
voice. His hand slipped into the pocket
where was the pistol, and clutched It.
He stared at Carson fiercely, and
spoke with a rush the words:
why did you kill Eddie Griggs?"
Il didn't kill him!" The reply was
quick enough, but it came weakly.
Again, Carson was forced to wet his
lips with a dry tongue, and to swal-
low painfully. Il tell you. / didn't

Burke sneered his disbelief.

Il didn't, l tell you!" Carson was
growing stronger, since at last the
crisis was upon him. He got to his
feet with 1.-THE swiftness of move

He bent his head forward challeng-
ingly, to meet the glare of his accus-

his own steely stare. His nerves had
