Chemically. His face thus was turned
toward the windows that gave on the
corridor, and his eyes grew yet more
clouded as they rested on the grim
doors Of the cells. He writhed in his
chair and his gaze jumped from the
cells to the impassive figure of the
man at the desk Now. the forger's
nervousness increased. momently-it
swept beyond his control. Of a sud

Slowly, very hesitatingly. Carson

fascinated eyes went to the row of

creeping stealthily on him, as his

trophe that threatened. His intelli-
lief that Burkes manner of almost
fulsome kindness hid nothing omi-

Carson sat huddled, stricken for he
had recognized the victim thrust into
the cell before his eyes. It
was Dacey, one of his own cronies in
crime-Dacey, who, the night before
had seen him kill Eddie Griggs. There
was something concretely sinister to
Carson in this fact Of Dacey's pres

cry dropped into unintelligible numb

added: That Turner woman saved

AS the doorman went out after hav-

seated himself in the chair that was
set partly facing the windows open

anticipatory triumph as he made sure
that the whole length of the corridor
