| Dick, however, did not move. Ills
yoice came with a note of determina-
ton.
"I want to know about my wife.
Where Is she?"
Burke disregarded the question as
completely as if it had not been utter
ed and went on speaking to the door
man. with a suggestion in his words
that was effective.
Hes not to speak to any one, you
understand" Then he condescended
to give his attention to the prisoner.
you'll know all about your wife,
young man, when you make up your
mind. to tell the truth" -s-.
Dick turned and followed his custo-
dian out Of the office in silence.
AS the doorman reappeared Burke
gave his order, Dan, have the Turner
woman brought up"
The inspector next called his stenog-
rapher and gave explicit directions.
At the back of the room, behind the
desk. were three large windows, which
opened on a corridor, and across this
| was a tier of cells. The stenographer
was to take his seat in this corridor
Just outside one Of the windows. over
the windows the shades were drawn
so that he would remain invisible to
any one within the office while yet
easily able to overhear every WORD
spoken in the room.
| When he had completed his instruc-
tions to the stenographer, Burke turn
ed to Glider and Damarest.
| Now, this time," he said energetic
ally, I'll be the one to do the talk
ing. And get this: Whatever you
hear me say don't you be surprised.
Remember, we're dealing with crooks,
and when you're dealing with crooks
YOU have to use crooked ways"
Then the door opened, and Mary
Turner entered. She paid absolutely
no attention to the other two in the
room, but went straight to the desk
and there halted, gazing with her soft
ly penetrant eyes of deepest violet in
to the face of the inspector.
Under that intent scrutiny Burke
felt a challenge and set himself to
match craft with craft. His large
voice was modulated to kindness as
he spoke in a casual manner.
"I just sent for you to tell you that
you're free"
Then 1 can go?"
Sure, you can CO."
Without any delay, yet without any
haste, Mary glanced toward Glider ano
Demarest, who were watching the
scene closely. Then, she went toward
the outer door of the office.
Burke waited until she had nearly
reached the door before he shot his
bolt.
Carson has confessed"
Mary turned and confronted the in
spector, and answered without the
least trace of fear but the firmnes:
of knowledge:
"Oh, no, he HASN'T"
Whats the reason he HASN'T
Burke roared out wrathfully,
Because he didn't do it,"
well, he says he did it"
Mary, in her turn, resorted to bl
of fineness, in order to learn whether
or not Carson had been arrested.
But how could he have done 1t
when he WENT she began.
Where did he go?"
You ought to know since you have
arrested him, and. he has confessed.

said languidly. WAS his mann

"Oh, you know better than that,
Burke declared, truculently. You see
we've traced the Maxim silencer. Gar
= son himself bought it up in Hartford.
For the first time Mary was caugh
off her guard.
But he told me"-she began, the1
checked herself.
What did he tell you?" Burk
2 questioned.
/ HE told me that he had never see
one. Surely, if he had had anythin
of the sort, he would have shown

Burke pressed the button on tn
s desk, and, when the doorman appear
ed, ordered that the prisoner be re
