PART TWO.

AM ~ W.
! From Dunbar's rooms the Kid and the
detectives trailed until they had con-
vinced themselves that Dunbar was on
the way back to that sane dismal dis
| trict in the lower West Side to which
he had paid visit the day before. OF
! sudden Dunbar. turned carefully
| around and saw that three men were
close on his heels. BY this time ne had
approached n cafe whose side door ne
knew led to an empty lot near the wa
ter front. Without letting his pursuers
know that they had been noticed Dun
bar walked jauntily through the front
doors OF the cafe. He went through the
cafe quickly and emerged from side
door and hastily vaulted a fence.
The pursuers waited for some time,
, and then when Dunbar failed to reap
pear they peered through the doors of
the cafe. Not seeing Dunbar. they
scattered and tried to find him in the
neighborhood. This also failed to pro-
duce results. While they were debat-
ing possibilities of the case Ami. the
police dog. came bounding down the
1 street At the corner she picked up
! Dunbar's trail and ran quickly TO the
| fence. For a moment or TWO she Dusled
| herself with the trail. and then turned
! tail and sped up the street
/ With Dunbar's escape accomplished
he quickly turned his steps TO his
| brothers rooms
AS on the day before. Dunbar found
! his brothers outer door locked. He
knocked repeatedly. but at first elected
no reply. His continued pounding finally
forced an answer from within.
! Who's there" Dunbars brother
! asked, his lips wide drawn. his hand
going stealthily to heavy revolver.
| Your brother" Dunbar replied.

| Dunbar's reply Vas to put his shout

! il down. And the brothers counter re-
ply was a shot from his pistol. DUNBAR
