Of the octagonal window In the library
Of Richard elders town house swung
open under the persuasive influence of
a thin rod Of steel, cunningly used,
and Joe Carson stepped confidently
into the dark DON
For q space he rested m%otionless,
listening intently. Reassured, he drew
out an electric torch and set it glow
ing. A little disk Of light touched here
and there about the room. travelling
very swiftly and in methodical cir
cles. Satisfied by the survey, Carson
crossed to the hall door, where he lis
tened for any sound Of life without
and found none. The door into the
passage that led to the storeroom
where the detectives waited next en-
gagged his businesslike attention. And
here again there vas naught to pro-
woke his suspicion.
1t seemed to him that everything
was in readiness for the coming of his
associates. There remained only to
give them the signal In the room
around the corner where they waited
at a telephone. He seated himself in
elders chair at the desk and drew the
telephone to him.
"Give me 900 Bryant" he said.
There was q little wait. Then an an
swer in a voice he knew came over the
wire.
Carson picked up a penholder from
the desk and began tapping lightly on
the rim Of the transmitter. 1t was a
code message In Morse. In the room
around the corner the tapping sounded
clearly, ticking out the message that
the way was free for the thieves CON-
ing.
For a final safeguard Carson search
ed for and found the telephone bell
box and unscrewed the bells. which he
placed on the desk. He then took his
pistol from his hip pocket and thrust

Of the passage door turning. As the
door swung open there came a gasp
ing breath from Mary. for she saw
framed In the faint light that came
from the single burner In the corridor
the slender form Of her husband, Dick
Glider.
The next instant he had stepped
within the o and Chicago Red had
bounced on his victim. the huge hand
clapped tight yer the young mans
mouth. There came a sound of scuf-
ding feet. and that was all. Finally
the big mans voice came trium-
phantly:

"It's Dickr' The cry came as a wall
Of despair from the girl.
At the same moment Carson flashed
his torch. and the light fell swiftly on
young Glider. bowed to a kneeling pos
ture before the couch. half throttled
by Chicago Red. Close beside him,
Mary looked down In wordless despair
over this final disaster Of the night.
Carson retired a step farther before
he spoke his command, so that. though
he held the torch still. he, like the
others. was In shadow.
Get away. Red"
The fellow let go his grip.
Freed of that strangling embrace,
Dick stumbled blindly to his feet.
Then, mechanically, his hand went to
the lamp on the table back Of the
couch. When the mellow light stream
ed forth he uttered an ejaculation of
stark amazement, for his gaze was riv-
eted on the face of the oma he
loved.
"Good God!' 1t was a cry Of tor
ture wrung from his soul Of souls.
Mary swayed toward him a little,
palpitant with ~fear-fear for herself,
for all Of them, most of all for him.
Hush, hushr' she painted warningly.

Dick was exasperated by this per-
sistent Identification of herself with
these criminals In his fathers house.
"You men back there!" he cried. "If
I give you my word to let every one of
you go free and pledge myself never to

fed guffaw Of laughter from the big
chest Of Chicago Red.
"Your safety depends on me-" the
young man warned. Suppose should
call for help?"
"You would only call once" Carson
said grimly. His hand went to the
noiseless weapon In his oat pocket.
"Once would be quite enough"
"You win" Carson said. with a half
laugh. He turned to the other men
and spoke a command.

Mary Turner was just ready for bed
when a note came by a messenger who
waited for no answer. as he told the
yawning maid. AS Mary read the
roughly scrawled message. she was
caught In the grip Of terror. The man
who had saved her from death had
yielded to temptation. As he had
saved her so she must ave him. She
hurried into the gown she had just
put Off. Then she went to the tele-
