Absolutely nOthlng-fOr some time
perhaps. But we must be ready And
the waiting will be amusing. promise
you that"
When they arrived at the Atlas
Building barrow was surprised to find
Simmons already in charge of the
office
Thought you were on night duty?"
said he.
II am" replied Simmons CURLY
But judging by what you said this
morning, / considered I'd better be on
the job myself"
Good boy" approved barrow. Il
see I've made no mistake in you.
Just stick it out twelve hours more
and we'll have it settled. Anything
more?"
Simmons thrust message across
the table,
barrow took it quite calmly. At
this moment Hallowell entered.
What time did this Gomez" asked
Darrow, nodding to the reporter.
AT twelve thirty"
barrow nodded twice with great sat
isfaction
Then quite deliberately he unfolded
the paper and perused it's contents.
Without change of expression he
handed it to Hallowell. The latter
read aloud:
ITO the People: A traitor is among
you-one who has betrayed you, one and
all, but whom you cherish to your bos-
onls as. a viper. |, who am greater than
you all, have laid my commands upon
him, and he has seen At to disobey. He
is now in hiding among you. This man
must be produced. I would not willingly
carried out. If he Is not found by six to-
morrow a sign will be Gent to you that
you may believe. ! am patient. but /
must be obeyed."
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 a fair wind.
He's in communication with us; he is
gaining confidence in his inflated
imaginary Importance; we are to have
continuance of his peculiar activi-
ties; and we can put our hands on him
at moments notice.
What" shouted Hallowell and Jack
Warford, leaping to their feet
Where is he?" demanded the re-
porter
How do you know" cried Jack.
Simmons, his head-piece laid aside.
looked up at him in silent curiosity.
1T is sufficient for now that | do
know" smiled barrow LAS for how
know, that last wireless proved it to
me-"
All three men Immediately bent over
the message for detailed perusal.
After a minutes scrutiny, Hallowell
looked up in disappointment.
Too many for me-" he confessed.
What is there in that?"
But Darrow shook his head
Il play my own game, was all the
explanation he would vouchsafe.
"You may as well knock OF, old
man." he told Simmons. Il don't think
there'll be anything more doing to-
night; and it doesn't matter If there is.
Tell your other man to jot down any,
thing from that sending. If any comes.
Now" he turned to Hallowell, Il want
to see your managing editor"
The three took the subway to City
Hall Square. The managing editor
received barrow with much favor as
the vehicle of big scoop brought in
far enough ahead OF going to press to
permit OF ample time for its develop
ment.
Now, Mr. Curtis" said barrow to
this man, this is going to be an in
