Just stick It out twelve hours more.
and we'll have It settled. Anything

Without change OF expression he

mo. what do you think Of that"
cried Hallowell: He doesn't even
mention the name Of his friend TO the
dear people who are to hunt him
down. Fine dope!"
Darrow's face expressed a sleepy
satisfaction. He stretched his arms
and yawned.
You might supply the deficiency"
he suggested. Well" he remarked
to Jack, that settles IT, Everything's
running like a catboat In fair wind.
He's In communication with us; he is
gaining confidence In his inflated

a continuance of his peculiar activi-
ties: and we can put our hands on him
at moments notice."

The three took the subway to City

Now. Mr.. Curtis" said Darrow to
this man. this is going to be an In
