Burke himself grinned wryly in ap-
probation Of the gibe.
Demarest grew grave again, as he
put the question that was troubling
him most.
rs there any chance that young
Glider shot Griggs?"
You can search mel" the Inspector
answered, disconsolately. MY men
were Just outside the door Of the room
where Eddie Griggs was shot to death,
and none Of 'em heard a sound. It's
that internal silencer thing. OF
course, | know that all the gang was
In the house"
But tell me Just how you know
that fact" Demarest objected very
crisply. Did you see them go in?"
No, I didn't" the Inspector ad-
mitted, tartly. But Griggs-"
Demarest permitted himself a sneer
born of legal knowledge.
"Griggs is dead, Burke. You're up
against it. You can't prove that Car
son, or Chicago Red. or Dacey, ever
| entered that house"
The Inspector scowled over this

But Griggs said they were going

Il know" Demarest agreed, with an
exasperating air OF shrewdness, but

couldn't in trial even repeat what
he told you. It's not permissible evil
dence."

The District Attorney laughed aloud
over this project.

In business it IL necessary to have

Some think that competition Is 80

customer wants It TO be. There never
was a time when II was more neces-
sary than It IL today that business
should be built upon a foundation of
absolute integrity.
In the professions, also, an ideal
is necessary. Take the medical pro-
fession for illustration. 1t Is proper
that the physician should collect
money from his patients. for he must
live while he helps others to live.
but the physicians who have written
their names high upon the scroll of
fame have had a higher ideal than the
making OF money. They have had a
passion for the study of their pro-
fession; they have searched diligently
for the hidden causes OF disease and
the remedies therefor and they have
found more delight in giving to the
world some discovery OF benefit to
the race than they have found in all
OF the money that they have collected
from their patients.

through the window, whistling in a
peculiar way. George, thus left quite
alone, had the pleasure of seeing his
sole protector mix with the boys. as
he called them, and ultimately crowd
in with them through the door which
had finally been opened for their ad-
mittance. Then came a wait. and then

INoT YET THE sINLEss WORLD
Spanish Penolosy Expert illustrates
Point With an Appropriate
"Watermelon" Story.

Senor Fernando Cadalso. Spain's In
spector general of prisons, said re-
Gently In New York that he thought
the time had not yet come for the
abolition of capital punishment,
"The world is not yet civilized
enough for this advance" he contin-
ued. THE world, you know, is still
a good deal in the state of the col
ored people in the watermelon story.

your clever southern editors. He said
that man was good deal troubled
by thieves in his watermelon patch
and SO he called up his old gardener
and began:
"'Uncle Eli, I'm trying an expert
ment with Doc Sawyer in the south
watermelon patch. The melons there
are poison variety. and If any of
your colored friends touch them

Mr.. Brotherson drew back. The
cold air of self-possession which he
now assumed, presented such a con-
trast to the unwarranted heat of the
moment before that George wondered
greatly over 1t, and later. when he
recapitulated to me the whole story
of this night. it was this incident of
the lifted shade. together with the
emotion it had caused. which he &C.
knowledged as being for him the most
inexplicable event of the evening and
one he was most anxious to hear ex-
planned.

CHAPTER X.
A Difference of opinion.

At an early hour the next morning,
Sweetwater stood before the coroner's
desk, urging a plea he feared to hear
refused. He wished to be present at
the interview soon to be held with Mr..
Brotherson, and he had no good rea-
son to advance why such privilege
should be allotted him.
The coroner, who had had some
little experience with this man. sur
veyed him with smile less forbid
ding than the poor fellow expected.
You seem to lay great store by 1t"
said he; 'if you want to sort those
papers over there, you may"

job. but l promise you not to increase
the confusion. If 1 do; If rattle the
leaves too loudly, it will mean. Press
him further on this exact point but
l doubt If rattle them, sir. No such
luck"
The last three words were uttered
soto voce, but the coroner heard him.
and followed his ungainly figure with
a glance of some curioEi.y. as he set
tied himself at the desk on the other
side of the room.
"Is the man" he began, but at this
moment the man entered, and Dr.
Heath forgot the young detective. in
his interest in the new arrival.
"Mr. Brotherson, believe" said he.
as he motioned his visitor to sit.
THAT is my name. sir.
Orlando Brotherson?"
THE same, sir"
I'm glad we have made no mis-
take" smiled the doctor. "Mr. Broth
erson. have sent for you under the
supposition that you were a friend Of
the unhappy lady lately dead at the
Hotel Clermont"
Miss Challoner?"
Certainly; Miss Challoner."
Il knew the lady. But" here the
speakers eye took on look as ques-
tioning as that of his interlocutor-
but in way SO devoid of all public
ity that I cannot but feel surprised
that the fact should be known"
At this. the listening Sweetwater
hoped that DR.. Heath would ignore
the suggestion thus conveyed and de-
cline the explanation 1t apparently de-
manded But the impression made
by the gentleman's good looks had
been too strong for this coroner's
proverbial caution, and, handing over
the slip of a note which had been
found among Miss. Challoners effects
by her father, he quietly asked:
DO you recognize the signature!
Yes. 1t is mine"
