had Mary Turner in his charge on the
occasion Of her Ill fated visit to Ed
ward elders office four years before.
Hello, Joel" he cried Familiarity.
Hello, Aggie!"
"Well?" Joe demanded.
Just q little friendly CALL" Cassidy
announced in his strident voice.
"Wher IS the lady Of the house?"
out" Aggie spoke very sharply.
well, Joe," Cassidy went on. when
she comes back just tell her it's up to
her to make a getaway and to make 1t
quick" 49,. .....
Say" Aggie netorted viciously. you
can't throw any scare into us. You
hain't got anything on u.s. See?"
Nothing on you, eh? Well. well,
let's see" Cassidy regarded Carson
with a grin. You are Joe Carson,
forger." AS he spoke the detective
took a notebook from a pocket, found
a page, and then read: First arrested
in 1891 for forging the name Of Edwin
Goodsell to a check for $4,000. Again
arrested June 1s, 1898, for forgery. Ar
rested in April, 1898, for forging the
series Of bonds that were counterfeit.
Arrested as the man back Of the Reil-
ly gang in 1903. Arrested in 1908 for
forgery"
Haven't any records Of convictions,
have your"
mo. but we've got the right dope on
you, all right, Joe Carson" He turn
ed savagely on the girl.
"And you're little .Aggie Lynch"
Cassidy declared as he thrust the note
book back into his pocket. "Just now
you're posing as Mary Turner's cous-
in You served two years N Burn
sing for blackmail. You were arrest
ed in Buffalo, convicted and served
your stretch. Nothing on you? Well,
well!"
Again there was triumph in the Of
ficer's chuckle. He went on speaking
with obvious enjoyment Of the extent
to which his knowledge reached.
And the head Of the gang Is Mary
Turner. Arrested four years ago for
robbing the Emporium. Did her stretch
Of three years."
'Is that all you've got about herr"
Carson demanded with such abrupt
ness that Cassidy forgot his dignity
sufficiently to answer with an unqual-
flied yes.
Nothing in your record Of her
about her coming out without friend
in the world and trying to go straight?
You amt got nothing in that pretty
little book of your'n about your going
to the millinery store where she final
ly got Job and tipping them off to
where she come from?"
Sure. they was tipped off. We got
to protect the city" .. ....
Got anything in that record Of
your'n," Carson went on venomously,
about her getting another job and
your following her up again and hav-
ing her thrown out? Got 1t there about
the letter you had old Glider write. so
that his influence would get her can
ned?" -,,
"oh, we. had her right the first
time"
You did not. She was railroaded
for a job she never done. She went
in honest, and she came out honest"
"And that's why she's here now with
a gang of crooks" Cassidy retorted.
Where else should she be?" Carson
demanded violently. You ain't got
nothing in that record about my jump
ing into the river after her. That's
where I found her-a girl that never
done nobody any harm, starving be-
cause you police wouldn't give her a
chance to work. In the river because
she wouldn't take the only other way
that was left to her to make living,
because she was keeping straight!
Have you got any Of that in your
book?"
Anyway" the officer went on. with
new confidence, now that his eyes
were free from the gaze that had
burned into his soul, you've got to
clear out, the whole gang Of you and
do it quick"
I'VE don't scare worth cent" Ag-
gle snapped, with the virulence Of
vixen. You can't do anything to US.
