Ryker flung himself bodily across the little
table and struck up the hand that held the
weapon. Fogarty and Hogan stood in the
doorway. At Rykers jiu-jutsu twist Chap
pelle's arm dropped and the pistol fell to the
floor; but the man made no resistance.
"Done!" he half whispered. Then, in his
bantering tone, Hello, Boys, come in. He
looked at Ryker. Clever kid" he said. Il
knew it. 1t was the phone, of course; but
how in blazes did YOU put it over?'
Ryker lit cigar and turned to the Central
Office men. Hello he said carelessly.
"Been expecting you fellows. Got good
thing for you. Here's your Malverson mani"
Fogarty glanced up as he clicked the
bracelets on the prisoners wrists. "Malver-
son nothing!" he growled. This guys worth
a million Malversons You re in luck again,
Ryker."
Ryker dropped his cigar and stared.

Ryker stopped and picked up his cigar
His face was flushed when he rose, probably
from the exertion. He crossed to the tele-
phone with smile on his lips; but his hand
shook as he readjusted the hanging receiver
Then he called up "The Star office.

pelle. THAT yarn of mine was largely a
fake. You ought to know that it was bust

how l worked in was true enough

Brant6me.
He examined the book with appreciation
and their talk drifted to things literary, in
which both were widely informed. Ryker
was interested in spite of himself but all the
time he was listening intently, although he
had abandoned hope. The pistol still lay at
Chappelles hand, and occasionally he toyed
with it as they chatted.
SUDDENLY, after about an hour, Ryker
- fancied he heard stealthy footsteps in
the hall. They seemed to stop when the
conversation lu1led. On the chance of its
being someone who knew him, he raised his
voice and laughed, as he turned the pages of
an old Rabelais.
"Ho, ho.7 he almost shouted. Here's
funny thing"
There was sharp click from the other
side of the room, and Chappelle leaped to his
feet, grasping the revolver. On the instant
