CHAPTER XIII.
The Confession.

Burke was a persistent man, and
he had set himself to getting the muir
derer of Griggs. Fooled in his efforts
thus far by the. opposition of Mary,
he now gave himself over to careful
thought as TO a means of procedure
that might offer the best possibilities
of success. His beetling brows were
drawn in a frown of perplexity for a
full quarter of an hour, while he rest
ed motionless in his chair, an unlight
ed cigar between his lips. Then, at
last. his face cleared; a grin of sat
isfaction twisted his heavy mouth
and he smote the desk joyously.
It's a cinch it'll get fm!" he rum
bled in glee.
He pressed the button call and or
dered the doormah to send in Cassidy
ute later, he went directly to his sub
ject with a straightforward energy
usual to him in his work.
Does Carson know we've arrested
the Turner girl and young Glider?
And, when he had been answered in
the negative: "Or that we've got
Chicago Red and Dacey here?"
NO" Cassidy replied. He hasn't
been spoken to since we made the
collar. He seems worried" the
detective volunteered.
Burke's broad jowls shook from the
force with which he snapped his jaws
together.
Burke Reflected.
He'll be more worried before l get
through with him!" he growled. He
regarded Cassidy speoulatively. do
you remember the Third Degree In
spector Burns worked on McGloin ?
Well" he went on, as the detective
nodded assent, that's what I'm going
to do to Carson. He's got lmagina-
ton, that crook! the things he don't
know about are the things he's afraid
of. After he gets In here, l want you
to take his pals one after the other
and lock them up in the cells there
in the corridor. The shades on the
corridor windows here viii be up
and Carson Will see them taken in.
The fact Of their being there viii set
his imagination to working overtime
all right"
Burke reflected for a moment, and
then issued the final directions for the
execution Of his latest plot.
When you get the buzzer from me
you have young Glider and the Tur-
ner woman sent in. Then. after a
while. you'll get another buzzer
When you hear that, come right in
| here, and tell that the gang has
| squealed. I'll do the rest Bring Cor
| don here in just FIVE minutes.
| Tell Dan to come in"
AS the detective went out, the door
man promptly entered. and thereat
| Burke proceeded with the further in
| structions necessary to the carrying
/ out of his scheme.

somehow, he had bungled fatally. A
groan Of distress burst from him, and
he fed the place in ignominious rout
There was another whose spirit was
equally DESTROYS of fiight-Burke! Yet
once again he was beaten at his own
game, his cunning made of no avail
against the clever Interpretation of
this woman whom he assailed. He
had no defense to offer. He did not
care 10 meet her gaze just then, since
he was learning to respect her as one
wronged, where he had regarded her
Hitherto merely as of the flotsam and
Jetsam of the criminal class. So he
avoided her eyes as she stood by the
window regarding him quizzically. In
a panic of confusion quite new to him
in his years Of experience, he pressed
the button on his desk

The doorman appeared with that
automatic precision which made him
valuable in his position, and the In
spector hailed the ready presence
with feeling of profound relief,

Mary was smiling still as she went
to the door But she could not resist
the impulse toward retort.
"Oh, yes" she said, suavely; you
were right on The level with me.
weren't YOU, Burke? Nobody here but
you and mel" The words came in a
sing-song of mockery.
The Inspector had nothing In the
way Of answer-only sat mOtionless
until the door closed after her. Then,
left alone, his sole audible comment
was a single word-one he had learn
ed, perhaps, from Aggie Lynch:

that a striking likeness 90 our simian
ancestors is seen after the early
formative stages of life are passed,
but the Samaritan elephants appear
to retain their ancestral marks dur

this may be taken as an indication
that, comparatively speaking, but a
short time has elapsed since they
were a race Of real mammoths.
The elephant baby that is now at

in London is as great a curiosity in
his way as would be a hairy, ape-like
man, found living in some tropical
jungle, and if his family had pos
sessed any means of handing down
its traditions since the Glacial Period

strange globe-history would be placed
