silently menacing on the other side OF
the corridor beyond the windows. His
face was tinCed with gray. A physical
sickness was creeping stealthily on
him, az Ills thoughts held mistakenly

intelligence was too keen to permit a
belief that Burke's manner of almost
fusome kindness lid nothing omin-

him in return for the death he had
wrought
Then, terror crystalliZed. His eyes

You killed him last night-with

instant, the pistol leaped into view,
pointed straight at Carson. "Why"
the inspector shouted. Come on, now!
Why?'
Il didn't. l tell YOU! Carson was
growing stronger. since at last the
crisis was upon him. He got to his

There passed many seconds, while

Suddenly. Burke dropped the pistol
into his pocket. and lolled back in his
chair. His gaze fell away from the
man confronting him. In the same in

relaxed. and he Strengthened slowly.

The inner door opened, and Mary

difficulty suppressed the cry of distress

mehts the silence was unbroken. Then

the girl to advance toward the. center
of the room. AS she obeyed he himself
went little toward the door. and
when it opened again and Dick Glider
appeared he interposed to check the
young mans rush forward as his gaze
fell on his bride. who stood regarding
him with sad eyes.

"Squealed. eh? Do they tell the

The increase in the January and

That the young people of this coun-
